Nor is statehood the only important fronting Alaska’s Republicans. There are many mat- ters deserving of careful attention by Mr. Warren, but if the usual practice of insulating influential visitor from possible tontact with those who differ with the clique in power is followed, they will not be broue ht to his attention.

He is tall, broad-shouldered, wears a sweater with high roll collar in the wintertime, and in the summeér an open collar or no collar atall. Lundeberg has been waging a tough and effective campaign to purge Communism from the sea- going unions, and has been gunning lately for Communists in the Mar- ine, Cooks and Stewards union. To that end he recently testified be- fore the National Labor Relations Board, where he made an effective presentation. After he finished, Lundeberg walked up to Paul Herzog, cha man of the National Labor Rel tions Board, and stuck his nose al- most in his face. The chairman is almost the op- posite of Lundeberg—thin, delicate hands, finely chiseled features. “Listen, Herzy,” bellowed the head of the Seafarers’ union, his Jaw jutting close to the chairman’s jak, “What happens if this decis- ion goes against us?” Without “batting an eye, the chairman replied: “I'm not so much worried about that as I am that it'll be for you, and you'll kiss me.” The head of the Seafarers’ union picked up his hat and left. Tax Tempers There were some stormy dissents inside the House Ways and Means Committee before it tentatively ap- proved a 3 per cent, ac the- board boost in individual income taxes. “This is an unfair imposition on the lower-bracket taxpayers,” in- sisted Democrat Wilbur Mills of Arkansas. “Most of the new revenue in this legislation will come from the lower brackets anyhow, so why saddle the poor man with the same rate of increase as the upper- bracket taxpayer?” Rep. Hale Boggs of Louisiana, who favored a graduated increase | from 2 to 4 per cent of incomes | up to $10,000 a year, also strongly | opposed the across-the-board for- | mula. So did another Democrat, | John Dingell of Michigan. Dingell was furious because the committee had raised corporation taxes only to 52 per cent instead of to 55 per cent, as recommended by the treasury. “The coffers of some of these big companies are bulging with un- expended cash,” exclaimed Dingell “That’s where the fat is. It isn't in ghe little man’s pocket I'm lgnzklst all these excise taxes too, wi are paid by the consumers— and that applies to excises on au- tomoblles made in my own home town. “America lives on wheels,” said the Congressman from Detroit “But if you cripple the automobilc | industry by increasing excises to | andg other committee Republicans voted solidly for the income-tax boost which hits little incomes as much as it does big.
