Snyder Talks On ux Rates In Broadcast
 Honest Arithmetic Shows Actual

Raymond E. Snyder COP mayor atty candidate last night conducted what he termed to be brief course in "honest arithmetic" when in a brief radio address he charged the administration with attempting to conceal the fact that taxable property has increased in the city since i940 by 13 percent.
 Although our tax rate went down by 2 percent" Snyder said, it is evident that percent balance re- mains which is the actual increase of our payable taxes in the past four years"
 MT. Snyder also attacked what he termed to be the tension pension bill". The tension and strain of the last few days of the General As sembly were so great, he said, that the city hall sponsored pension bill was rushed through at the last min- ute.

Politics
 -M- 

There was considerable eyebrow lifting in Democratic circles after the big COP rally Thursday night when 1t became known that among other things Candidate Ray Snyder and his conferees were taking pot shots at the Park Department. Or dinarily this governmental agency is regarded as more or less outside of the political sphere. It is not cer- tainly subject to changes by virtue of switches in administration, as the membership of the Park Board is self-perpetuating and seldom if ever can any claims of partisanship be raised in connection with its ac- tivities. So far as policies of the board or department are concerned neither Mayor John s. Monagan nor his predecessor, the late Vincent A. Ecully, ever tried to influence them one way or the other, although both evinced keen interest in the de- Felopment of parks and play grounds. There will have to be some thing more specific on this subject before the public can be led to be- tieve that the department is not do- sng a good job.

However, one other bill is already before Congress, Bartlett said, the measure sent to the Senate by Lam ger, who with Senator McCarran, introduced bill last year

Gordon presides Over Secret Meeting

Fresh from the floors of the legis- lature where Senators and Repre- sentative alike, eloquently expound- ed the American ideals of equal rights, group of legislators this afternoon expelled two reporters from a joint committee meeting on coming Alaska taxation problems and continued in secret session.
 The joint committee was to con- fer with tax consultant Alfred Harsch and Interior Department counsel Ira Silverman on an income tax bill 100 pages long that will shortly be introduced to the Seven- teanth Legis sure
 That it salght be necessary for reporters to fully understand such a bill from it's conception and the Alaskan public thereby better ad- yised was considered unimportant by Chairman of the meeting, Senator Frank Gordon
 This is a private meeting" the Rohert Burns quoting solon declared without the gratuity of smile.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 - In rapid order today the House of Representative rejected the con- troversial "anti-closed shop" and the fair employment practices am- endments pending on the Man power Utilization legislation.
 The anti-closed shop amendment was showed under by a vote of ITS to 142. A standing vote of 148 to 1l3 defeated the amendment to give statutory backing to the pro- gram of the Presidents Fair En- ployment Practices Committee, set up to discourage discrimination in employment because of race, creed or color.
 These two amendments when cancelled out removed virtually all controversy from the bill designed to require men between IS and 4o to work in essential jobs under threat of fines or imprisonment.

BILL INTRODUCED
 BARTLETT
Would Extend Time for h. dians 10 File Cases
 in Court

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Alaskan Indians will be given an extension of three years--to June 5, l943-in which to file their tribal claims before the U. S. Court of Claims, under a bill in the House today by Alaskan Delegate E. L. Bartlett.
 T believe that these matters should be settled by the proper compensation being made to the Indians said Bartlett
 The Delegate told a reporter that the Haida and Tlinget tribes de- manded settlement and claimed aboriginal rights to the tidewater lands and fishing waters Of the Alaska coast from the Interior Department.
 The Merchant Marine and Indian Affairs committees of the House made separate investigations of the situation last summer, and Rep. Holmes recommended that the h. dians be allowed compensation for any rights they could establish. He declared that to give the h. dians the tidewater lands and any control over fishing waters would interfere seriously with the valuable commercial fishing industry.
 Other reports are being prepared.
 Bartlett also filed bill to in- crease from Sl00 to $500 the amounts that may be spent by any department or independent estab- hshmeM without specific appro- priation.

WASHINGTON, Jan 31.-Speech- es on Capitol Hill are dime doz- en and most of them aren't worth it,
 But when Sen. Arthur H. Vanden- berg (R.-Mich.) took the floor the other day, he hadn't spoken three paragraphs before his colleagues and those in the press, radio and public galleries knew that here was a speech with far-reaching implica- tions; one of these modern rarities in the chambers of Congress, a speech that could well have an ef- feet on the destiny of the United States and it's now so vital foreign relations.
 When the big Michigander sets his mind to it, he can be one of the most eloquent and logical men n the Senate. On this occasion,

there was no doubt that he had set his mind to it.
 Here, I must unfairly but neces- sarily strip away that eloquence and logic and say simply that Sen Vandenberg called for an immediate and fortnight alliance of the Uni ted Nations. with the primary and avowed objective of keeping the Axis out of piracy for keeps
 He pleaded for an end to dal- liance and distrust among the AL lied nations and an end to quib- bling here at home over minor de- tails of that alliance.
 Even in bare essentials, there was much more to the speech than can be briefed here. It must have been heard or read in full text to be appreciated.
