WASHINGTON, April 24 lP- Secretary of the Treasury Nor genthau asked Congress for three billion and half in new taxes for greater defense production; to reduce non-dsfense spending; and for safeguards against pro- fiteering.

 Morgenthau made no specific recommendations about how the new taxes should be raised. II was said by other present that ths Treasury's viewpoint on these Treaesury proposals was reported to provide steep increases in in- come taxes and surtaxes and may force many persons to pay six times as much income tax as be- fore. Also to put either new or additional taxes on soft drinks, liquor, cigarettes, gasoline and many other commodities.

DUCK MIGRATION BEGINS TO SHOW UP AROUND JUNEAU
Shooting Restriction With-
 in Half-miIe of Roads for Big Game Only

Despite rumors around Juneau. the "half-mile provision in game laws will not apply to duck shoot ing, which opens Wednesday, Oc- tober l, it was announced today by Frank Dufresne, executive officer of the Alaska Game Commission.
 The provision, which restricts shooting within half mile of highways, applies only to big game animals, Dufresne explained. Only highway provision affecting duck shooting prohibits the killing of the fowl within 33 feet of the highway centerline, he declared
 Storms of the past few days have started the ducks flying from the north, Dufresne remarked, and a nice bunch of ducks are now feeding around Juneau. Some real duck feeds are likely to result when hunters shotguns begin spraying lead at the birds after sunrise the first day of October.
 Will Cheek Licenses
 Game commission patrolmen, who have been patroling shooting grounds since the birds started to arrive here, will be on hand when the season opens to check licenses and bag limits, Dufresne declared He warned hunters that besides their s1 resident hunting license or $10 nonresident license, they must also purchase duck stamps for $1 at the post office.
 Bag limit is a daily total of 10 ducks of all species, and three geese. Only one daily bag limit of ducks may be in the possession of hunter at one time, however the hunter may have two bag limits of geese, or six of the big birds in his possession at one time, thus allowing goose hunters to go out over a weekend and shoot their limit on each of the two days.
 Sunrise to 5 pm.
 Seasonal shooting will extend from sunrise to 5 pm. each day, Dufresne said. This year, he cau- tioned, there will be no open sea- son on Wilson snipe.
 Ducks now showing up around here represent birds which nest ed locally and some from along tbe coast up as far as Yakutat, Du- fresne stated. Ducks which nestled in the Interior fly up the Yukon and Panama rivers and go south to the States east of the moun- tains, he pointed out. Although Southeast Alaska gets only abol;t five percent of the total migratory i flight of ducks, there are plenty of birds through this section every year to provide pretty good shoot ing, he declared
