Tuesday, May 22, 1951 HOUSE HYSTERIA Some Republicans and Dixiecrats in the House seem prepared to carry their hatred of Secretary of State Acheson to the extremes of hysteria. They nre drumming up a drive to cut off Acheson’s salary after June 30. They are even wiling to go to the length of refusing to appropriate any State Department funds Department. But after more than a year of wild- eyed charges there is still no proof that there are any Reds in the department. He'is charged with hav- ing engineered the MacArthur dismissal. But the fact apparently is that he hews much closer to the Mac- Arthur line than do the chiefs of staff and looks with kinder eye on Chiang Kai-shek than the mili- tary does. Even if none even if there were Acheson, the representatives must realize ouster would Acheson would only be replaced by an- choice would natur- though hating true, for of these things are substantial reason do no good. other presidential choice, and the ally be of someone who followed presidential policy constitutional setup that intrusts foreign 5,0t can Under the policy to the chief executive, not the Congre be no oher way. At best, then, the House could succeed only in a kind of hanging of Acheson in effigy. It could drum him out of office, but it could not alter policy. price that would have to be paid in a resultin split in the nation ¢ uld scarcely be worth the game. The sharp Case History .\t \'llm (New York Times) Long before the Argentine dictatorship moved in on La Prensa it had been closing down one lesser- known opposition newspaper after another. In fact, it would appear that Peron worked up enough cour to seize Southr America’s most important daily onl; after he had successfully practiced his varying tech- niques on the relatively minor victims. One of these was El Intrasigente of Salta, which had been termed the most outspoken opposition paper in rural Argen- tina. Following a long series of har ments, El Intrasigente was finally closed in December, 1949, ¢ though its dauntless publishers continued at for a while to run it off in mimeographed form. The next thing we heard about El Intrasigente was last June, when a provincial deputy of the per- onista party in Salta publicly asked for a lifting of the ban, naively observing that such magnanimity on the part of the Government would demonstrate at all, produce greater disunity at home, the U. S. reputation abroad. personal vengeance. Just why Acheson has aroused such deep hatred He is charged with failure of is difficult to decide. the Chinese policy.

The committee voted 7-6 to report the bill to'the Senate without fur- her hearings. Whether the minority members will also submit a report remafns to be seen. NATTONAL DEFENSE is still the peg upon which the majority members hang much of their state- hood argument. But in this report there is a strange contradiction and we find that the majority members have at least partly swung round to the ideas® expressed by what has been called “the opposition.” The report starts off with the famillar citation of Alaska's near- ness to Siberia and its strategic po- sition in world affairs. It says that pre-historic man crossed from Asia to Alaska, implying that modern armies could easily do the same. “THE COMMITTEE recognizes,” the report then goes on, “that from the point of view of military tac- tics, strictly speaking, statehood could work no immediate change in the military situation with re-. spect to Alaska. “Geography and climate will re- main the same, obviously, and our Army, Navy, Air Force, and Mar- ines will fight to defend Alaska as well under a Territorial under a statehood status. “And there is no reason to be- lieve that the loyal, patriotic citi- zens of Alaska, a very large pro- portion of whom were borr one of the States, would not fight equ- ally hard and make equally great contributions and sacrifices if homes are in a Territory than a State in the event other war.” REAR ADMIRAL Ralp} made an almost identical statement before the committee more than a year ago, although the present re- port does not give him credit for it. The adoption of the admiral’s views by members of the comn is particularly interesting in W of the fact that when he made his appearance before it he was int duced by W. C. Arnold, who : “Rear Admiral Wood comes here at my request, and at the expense of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc.” It is notable, too that many of status as ather an- Wood says the St. Louis Star-Times.

The report re- fers to the testimony of Mrs. Mild- red Hermann, George Sundborg and Governor Gruening at last year’s statehood hearing. Mrs. Hermann, it will be remem- bered, suggested that Alaskans could go on a diet of beans if ne- | cessary to pay the costs of state- | hood. Governor Gruening, in a new re- port quoted by the committee, of- fers a solution in somewhat differ- ent terms but one that might end with Alaskans on a diet even skimpier than beans. DOUBLED TAXES would take care of the additional costs of state- hood, the Governor said in this report, which is dated April 10, 1951. Governor Gruening says that doubling the gas tax would bring in an additional $1,850,000; doub- ling the property tax an additional $900,000, and increasing the income tax rate from 10 to 15 percent would net $3,250,000 additional for the biennium. “This could making rates Gruening says. “ A Library of Congress study cited in the committee’s report sets $4,- 200,000 as the minimum and $9,- 500,000 as the maximum additional annual cost of state government for Alaska. TAX INCREASES suggested by the Governor would bring in only $3,000,000 more each year, which would be $1,200,000 short of the minimum the Library of Congress believes necessary. Future tax yields, says, without Dr. be done oppressive,” the Governor may be greatly increased by pulp and paper plants, an alum- inum reduction plant, oil fields ‘mdw continued construction programs. | Most of these sources, however, are 1ull of “ifs” The Library of Congress study of Alaska’s financing problems con- cludes that if av ge tax rates, us found in the 48 states, were ap= duction, the necessary would be forthcoming.
