Young Tells President
D. {. Hasn't Room for
Inaugural Visitors

Prospective visitors for SATURDAYS
inaugural ceremony were on notice
today that it would be a good idea
to forget about the trip.
A letter from j. Russell Young.
president of the Board of Commits
sioners, made public at the White
House, pointed up two good reasons: !:
Hotel capacity already is more than
"a per cent occupied, and the man.
power situation being what it is,
prospects for eating are none too
good.
Commissioner Young wrote Presi-
dent Roosevelt to- explain that re-
ports indicate the general public
does not understand the traditional
ceremonies have been abandoned,
and that he believes it would be
well to call attention to "the lack
of hotel and restaurant accommo-
dations."
Mr.. Young said that the hotels
are giving priority in reservations
to Army, Navy, members of Con-
gress and the air transport, and in
addition, limit the stay of guests.
As for food - most eating places
close at least one day week"
The commission head expressed
the hope that not only inaugural
visitors but all persons planning to
come here for other than necessary
trips postpone these until existing
conditions are greatly improved"

D. {. Taxpayers
Line Up TO Pay
Income Levy
Crowd Gathers
Nearly Hour Before
Office Here Opens

The crowd of anxious taxpayers
began forming nearly an hour before
the doors opened at $50 am. today
at the local income tax ONCE, with
prospects that hundreds would seek
help there before the day was over.
This is the last day for paying the
final quarterly installment on 1914

ing out returns. Most callers were
working out and filing their final
returns, and many were also filing
their estimates for 1945.
In preparing to pay the remainder
this year on last years income,
however, officials warned that an
other bill will be forthcoming for
many taxpayers. This will be for the
one-half of the so-called "unfor-
given" tax, which was not paid last
March. This balance is a leftover
from the change-over last year to
the new "pay-as-you-go system"
Several changes were made by
Congress In the revenue law last
year. One Of the main ones was q
shift in exemptions, which will i'm
pose heavier taxes on married peo-
pie without children, and lighter
taxes on couples with several chill
dren. Exemptions for single people
remain the same at $500; married
couples without children who for
merly could get exemptions of 81 200,
were cut down to only $1,000, which
Is $500 apiece; but the exemption
for each dependent was raised from
$3.50 to $500. Exemptions for all
people are $500 each.

The Maritime Commission has postponed the Alaska marine rate hearing which was scheduled to be held in Juneau on June 8, 1946, "to such time and will be held at such place as the Commission may hereafter direct" according to in- formation given Delegate Bartlett
 This action follows representa- tions urging postponement made by Governor Gruening, Delegate Bartlett and numerous govern ment agencies and individuals.
 The Office of Price Administra- ton, one of the government agen- cies requesting more time for pre- sentation of its views at the sched- uled hearing, stated that more time was necessary to compile evidence which was desired to be presented. The OPA hopes to be able to present data concerning revenues, expenses and revenue needs of the steamship lines, prices and price regulations in Alaska and the relative level of rates to and from Alaskan ports.
