WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. = After President Roosevelt urged quick &C., tion on his vast lease-lend plan, Administration leaders asked Con- gress to give him sweeping powers to transfer American made military equipment to Great Britain and other warning "democracies'
 The President told the newsmen at today's conference. just before legislation was introduced in both houses of Congress. that the powers it gave are needed to avoid delay.
 The bill would permit the Presi- dent when he deems it in the inter- est of national defense" to-

 4. Communicate to any such gov- ernment any defense information pertaining to any defense article and furnish such government, under paragraph two of this subsection five. release for export any defense article to any such government
 Leaders Statement
 A statement issued by Congress sional leaders said the bills pro- vision permitting the President to test, repair. outfit or otherwise place in good working order any de- fense article" means repairs could be made on defense articles whether they were manufactured in the United States or not.
 The statement said: Tt could con- ceivably mean for example, that tho British cruiser Renown, could be re- paired in the Brooklyn Navy Yard if the President considered it to the best interests of our national de- fense to do so
 Broad Provisions
 The provision is broad enough to permit use of any of our mili- tary naval or air bases for outfit or repair of weapons of countries whose defense is vital to the defenses of the United States
 The measure authorizes the ap- propriation of funds in such amounts as necessary to carry out the provisions.
 Estimates of the eventual costs have reached ten billion dollars.
 Senator Alben w. Barkely. ma- jority leader, estimated that two to five billion dollars may be appro- priated this year.
 The details of the legislative meas- urc were worked out at confer- ence called suddenly late yesterday afternoon by the President and Sen- ate and House leaders.

NGTON-Despite the buzz of speculation it evoked, Vice Presi- dent Jack Gamers call at the White House was purely social.
 It was the first time Garner and Roosevelt had met since Garner, in high dudgeon against the third term nomination, left for Uvalde last October and remained there throughout the campaign, refusing even to vote. However, there was no trace of rancor when the two men shook hands.
 The outgoing Vice President was in gay spirits as he related how a White House guard nearly failed to recognize him because he was wear ing a snappy new gray fedora, in stead of his usual wide -brimmed hat. He took me for a sissy" '" grinned Garner. T guess that's what I get for being lame duck"
 The one serious interlude during the visit was when Garner com mended the Presid St on his aid- to-Britain speech and assured him of wholehearted support.
 If worse comes to worst, Chief" Garner added, T might do lit tie fighting myself. My shooting eye is as keen as ever. I bagged a mighty big deer on my last hunt ing trip"
 Jack chuckled the President, every time you come here your deer story gets a little taller"
 On the level, Chief. I didn't weigh this boy, but he was the biggest critter ever bagged in Texas. if not in the whole coun- try. And I nailed him with the first shot"
 All right, all right" laughed Roosevelt. But I'll believe you when I see a picture of the ami mal."

A preliminary survey Of taxation in Alaska, prepared to supplement the 1938 study made by James C. Rettie and John E. Pegues, was sub mitted to Gov. Ernest Gruening to- day by the Alaska Planning Council.
 Tt is purely factual survey the letter of transmittai states. and it is the sense of the Alaska Plan ming Council that it is not intended as a specific recommendation for the enactment of laws covering any of the subjects therein contained
 The study declares that the qles- ticn of whether or not the Territory should increase its revenue is not a question of whether taxes are now too high or too low" in compari- son with taxes elsewhere It is a question of whether or not by an increase of Territorial revenues. the people of Alaska, through their CO., operative agency called government, can more fully utilize their produc- tive resources and provide at the general welfare. If this objective is obtained, the survey states, taxa ton will not be burden in the long run but rather an avenue toward so- cial and economic progress. Despite all contentious to effect that taxes are a necessary evil to be restricted to the lowest minimum. we feel well assured that this is not so; if it were, modern government would have broken down long ago. and the gen. eral standard of living which has been gradually going up in the last century would. instead, have been going down.
 Step Gaps
 The survey declares that reliance placed on one or two taxes is un- wise Unless the entire structure is devised with regard for it's ef- feet upon industry, business, finance and it's effectiveness in providing needed funds for necessary public services-schools, public assistance, construction of highways--the Ter ritory's share of Alaskas defense re- quirements. recreation, and all the other services which go to make up the thing which, for the sake of convenience we name government it is not system.
