The man pays an income tax to the federal government on $306.50 a month. He also gets commissary privileges, retirement privileges, sick and annual leave.

He Finds Alaska's Tax Heavy
Anchorage Daily Times)


 We are in receipt of an interest ing letter from a railroad em- ployee at Whittier taking rather violent exception to the Alaska law which compels him to pay a school tax of five dollars. He suggests that we might Justify" it.
 The man presented copy of a letter of protest he submitted with his five dollars to the tax collec- tor. In it he made some interest ing comments.
 "1 don't believe this tax applies to me, nonresident, on the ground that it taxes one class for the sole and exclusive benefit of another class. Political economists nave a name for it. However. I intend to get away from Alaska as cheaply as possible so, here it is.

ON-tU.H-Allled DOmD-
ers, starting virtually the mo-
ment Britain declared wa r,
pounded Germany for more
than five years in the greatest
campaign of aerial warfare the
world has ever known.
BY April /, 1945, American
and British heavy bombers OPP
Grating from bases in Britain
and Italy, had dropped nearly
100000 tons of high explosive
and incendiary bombs onto the
Reich--a- bomh-weight hitherto
undreamed Of.
The aerial offensive had
modest beginning. Britain was
not prepared to offer much in
the early days of war. 1t was
not until the later months of the
conflict - long after America
had joined in-that the cam
paign reached its peak.
The Raj carried out its first
attack Of the war Sept. 4, 1899,
and the objective was German
warships lying in Schillig Roads
and at Brunsbuttel. The first at
tack on German soil itself was
made the night Of March 10,
1910, when the target was the
Sylt peninsula. The Raj
bombed the German mainland
May IL, 1910, attacking targets
at Observation-Disclosures.
FIRST 1000 PLANE RAID
Those attacks preluded a
series of blows that gradually
mounted in ctrength. In May,
l941, the Raj made headlines
with its first 81 ,000-plane' at
tack-on Cologne.
The Raj didn't have enough
heavy bombers then to carry
out such attack, but they scrap
cd together an odd assortment OF
Planes including trainers - to
make up force of 1000.
Long before America entered
the war, the Raj also attacked
Berlin a number Of times, but
they were paltry efforts COM
pared to the great blows during
1914 and 1945 by both Raj and
American heavies.
The Raj, profiting by the
Germans losses in daylight
bombing, carried out its heavy
bombing attacks at night when
it was less vulnerable 10 enemy
fighter opposition.
Early in 1942-shortly after
p lrl Harbor America made
its preparations to take part in
the blitz on Germany from
bases in Britain. The year 1912
was largely an experimental
period for the American bomb
ing campaign in daylight.
FIRST l.. S. BOMBING
On July 4, 1912, a dozen Bos-
ton bombers half Of them
manned by American crews -
attacked airdromes in Holland
TO mark the first American
bombing. The Flying Fortress
and the Liberator, however,
were destined TO become the
planes used in the campaign
against Germany.
The first Fortress attack was
made Aug. II, 1912, against
Rouen, France with a dozen
planes participating. On Jan. 81,
l943, the Americans made their
first attack on Germany itself
hitting the port of>Wilhelmshav-
en-.
Within a few weeks from that
time daylight bombing was con-
sidered as having proven itself
American bombers and crews
poured into Britain in ever-in-
creasing quantities and, where
the 9th Air Force had used less
than 100 heavies on missions,
they began employing them in
hundreds at time-an eventu-
ally more than 900.
At the same time me u. s.
18th Air Force began operating
from North Africa. When Italy
was liberated. the 18th moved
its bases TO that country and
stepped up its campaign against
targets in Austria, southern Ger

Cannon Urges Wait
On Pay Raise Bill
b. the Associated Press.

BT The Associated Press.
A Senate-b backed move for nav
raises for members of Congress got
cold eye today from the House side
OF Capitol Hill.
This Is the wrong time" was the
reaction OF Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriation Committee to
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tees recommendation to raise the
lawmakers pay to $4,000 year.
1T was the wrong time" to vote
the $500 expense allowance the
House recently gave its members,
Mr.. Cannon added The Senate
turned down a similar allowance.
Even though the Senate backed
raise would not become effective
until January, 1947, when it is pre-
sumed wartime salary restrictions
such as the Little Steel formula
might be relaxed. Mr.. Cannon said
he is against it now.
Everything is in a state of f1ux
and we should wait until they settle
down" the Missourian asserted.
He indicated that the House COM
mittee won't even consider the pro-
posal-assuming that the Senate ap-
proves it-until after the projected
summer recess.
But If the bill ever reaches the
House, he emphasized, Undoubtedly
we should repeal the $500 expense
allowance"

them. Following through, he sur
missed that if people owned radios

grams so he bought radio station.
The company grew and added re-
frigerators, washing machines and
other household appliances to its
