WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. - The people of the United States owe bil- lions of dollars on debt that is going to be hard to pay. That is the debt of the Federal government which, including contingent liabili- ties, by the end of this fiscal year will amount to a billion dollars or more for every state in the union. It is debt that has got to be paid if the government is to survive.
 Fiscal experts again are discussing increasing taxes. Various schemes of taxation have failed to produce sufficient revenue to finance ex- cessive spending programs. New and heavily increased taxation must be enacted to pay the stupendous cost of government and the interest on the greatest debt in our history
 The only alternative to increas- ing taxes at great rates is reducing the cost of government. But 10 date none of the administration leaders has mentioned reduction of govern

 In the first car was the British Prime Minister and von Ribben- trop, and Major Schmudt, Chief Military Adjutant.
 Hitler stood at the broad doors of the retreat as the cars ap- preached and then walked down the spacious steps and greeted his guests in a most cordial manner.

 BIG QUESTION
Hearing Reveals Challenge Between Two Labor.
 Groups at A. J.

Question of supremacy between and the Committee for Industrial Organization among the workmen of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company was brought to its first official test today when Trial EX- aminer Martin Raphael of Seattle, representing the National Labor Re- latiors Board, held hearing in the Territorial Senate chambers to gather information for the final decision of the Board
 The mooted question was still un- answered as the hearing drew to a close this afternoon and probably will not be unless the Board after reviewing the testimony taken at today's hearing decides to order an election among the unions, it was pointed out.
 Three Issues
 Trial Examiner Raphael said that the NLRB could do one of three things after going over the testi- mony: It can order an election, It can name a bargaining agency or it can let the matter rest without further action Representative of both AFL and CIO organiza tions testified at the hearing today that he would not be opposed to an election to determine the bargain ing agency
 Today's hearing was participated by Local 203, International Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers, it was brought out at the hearing, after its request to the company to rec ognize it as the sole bargaining agency for the workmen had been rejected A letter written by the company, dated March 28 of this year, and which was offered in evil dence gave the company's position and indicated the reasons for to- days hearing Addressed to Local 203, it read
