New Tax Bill Faces Real
Opposition on House Floor
Minority Report Explains Issue
But Supports GsnsraI Tenor

the minority report said some
of its authors would have pre-
ferred to have seen the income
tax base bruadened, instead of
confined to present taxpayers.
The new tax bill would impose
the heaviest levies in this coun-
try's history, virtually trebiins
the taxes Of persons in the lower
and middle income brackets. It
would raise approximately. ST.
l52, 1000, 900 from individuals
through q drastic system Of sur
taxing starting at Ave per cent
on the hrst dollar of taxable in
come; 1892, 100000 from cor.
porations through higher excess
profits levies and surtaxes;
5000, 100000 from 4 variety Of
new or increased excise taxes
and l6l.o00,000 from higher
estate and gift levies.
House passage by the end Of
next week was freely predicted
by members Of both parties, and
there seemed to be little likeli-
hood Of any major changes.
Chairman Doughton (D.-N. CO.
said he would ask Monday for
approval Of procedure under
which only committee approved
amendments would be permitted
when the measure reaches the
floor. Republicans planned to
oppose that procedure but some
Of them conceded their opposi-
ton would be futile.

Report that Trader's Store
al Yukon River Out
post Burned Sunday

Baked by bad flying weather
and an ice filled river, the Office
of Indian Affairs has been trying
vainly all this week to get delayed
supplies in to TanacroSs on the
Yukon River, it was revealed today
by Fred r. Geeslin, chief clerk in,
the Juneau office of the Indian
Service.
That a critical need of medical
and food supplies may exist at
Tanacross it was believed by Gees
lin, as the result of a wire received
here last Sunday, notifying the o.
flee of Indian Affairs that the
traders store there had burned.
Meantime, Is tons of freight for
the outpost are on a river boat
owned by c. E. Gordon, frozen in
the Yukon River, about 80 miles
from Big Delta. Gordon, who took
the contract TO deliver the. sup
plies to Tanacross, got started with
/ his first load Of the goods too
late in the. season and was caught
I in the freeze-up Geeslin said.
Tho supply contract has now
been transferred to the Vein AL
4 aska Airlines, Geeslin declared, and
| immediate flight of some OF tbs
goods, still warehoused at Big Del
i ia, will be made as soon as
weather permits. Reports from the
airlines pilots, however indicate
that it would be almost impossible
4 to land their planes at the spot
I in the river where the boat load
4 of supplies is frozen in. Plans were
under way today to use small
4 airship to transport the goods from
/ the river boat TO Tanacross.

AMOS BERG
Well Known Explorer Tells
Oriental Adventures
10 {. OF {.

A keen sense of smell supplants
radio beams in the daring flights
made by commercial Chinese pilots
over the war torn country between
Hongkong and Chunking, members
of the Juneau Chamber of Com
merce were told this noon by Amos
Berg. National Geographic Society
explorer and photographer who was
guest speaker at meeting at the
Baranof Hotel.
THE planes spiral to an eleva-
ton of about 10000 feet above
Hongkong." Berg declared, then
level off for Chunking They al
ways fly at night and I asked the
pilot how he knew where he was.
He told me it was partly by watch
ing the stars and partly by smell.
He said he could always smell Can
ton on the left"
Berg, who has had an enviable
variety of experiences as repre-
sentative of the National Geogra-
phic Society, Library of Congress,
newsreel company and other organ
izations, entertained the Chamber
members with amusing, exciting
and out-of- the-way incidents for
good 20 minutes.
On Last Legs
Japan, Berg declared, seemed
staggering on its last legs when
he was there last year. He de-
scribed the nation so short on
gasoline that few automobiles ap-
peared on Tokyo streets and taxi
drivers took routes which would
allow them to coast as much as
possible. In the countryside, out
side OF Tokyo, he said he found
the people living in primitive
state, with no modern farming
methods.
Berg spoke of some 1900 Mai
military technicians who hang
around the Imperial Hotel in Tok-
20, giving Japan advice in her war
tactics"
At Chunking. Berg stated, there
are accommodation for around
100000 persons underground. He
said that during bombing raids
i there. when he realized that the
attacking japanese planes were
flying with American gasoline and
dropping American scrap iron On
the Chinese city, it was sometimes
! hard for him to decide whether 10
be angry at the Japanese or the
Americans
Pal Stays Here

lowed the course of the Colorado
River, and who accompanied him

work here.
Berg first came to Alaska in
1923, when he made canoe trip
from Juneau to Taku Glacier, then
up to Skagway and took the frail
craft down the Yukon River. Dur
ing the past summer he has made

The attack on Emden was said to

Nine of the night bombers failed
to return, it was admitted. but
there was no indication whether

Staple Cotton 10 Be Tested
In Making of Powder
~ the Associated Press

~ bne Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, July ga new
process for using staple cotton in
stead OF cotton linters in the manu-
facture of SmokeleSs powder, the
first project to be completed at the
Southern regional research labora-
tory here, will be given a plant test
soon at Hopewell. Va.
Cotton linters are the short. hair
sized fuzz clinging to the seed after
the staple cotton has been removed
by ginning. In peacetime they are
used chiefly as a basis for plaStics,
synthetic tiberS and lacquerS.
DR.. F. j. Lynch. director of the
laboratory, said two machines were
built to cut the long cotton fibers
into short lengths for chemical proc
essing and subsequent use in max
ing the powder.
At HopeWell the process will be
tried on a plant scale. The treated
cotton then will be sent to the
naval ordnance plant at Indian
head, Md, for manufacture into
smokeleSS powder.
