REDUCTION IN INCOME TAX

ASGOOOA4O4N A4N A~N0ONAA~ 4%A@@
 Uncle Sam started the new year off right by giving everybody a break on his withholding tax. You know what withholding tax is. That's where you get your pay check, and then play "Eenie Meenie Minee" with the Gov ernment until there aint no mo!
 It's the same thing this year. The only difference is that now they let you feel it a little before they pull it back.
 They lowered the withholding tax about two points. That means that from now on Margaret o. Brien pays the salaries of only five senators instead of six.
 Of course, we all got a tax re- duction. I saw one guy open his paycheck and start crying. I said, "What's wrong? Aren't yoi happy about more take-home pay?' He said, No. I can't find a hom' to take it tol"

Churchill Threatened
To Destroy Germany,
Ribbentrop Charges
by the Associoted Prsss

NUREMBERG, Feb. 23.-Two OF
Hitler's cronies asked today that
Winston Churchill and Edouard
Daladier be summoned to testify
that NaI leaders had tried to pre-
vent war, and quoted Mr.. Churchill
as having declared that England
would destroy Germany If she
should become too strong"
Through counsel, Hermann Goer-
ing and Joachim Won Ribbentrop
requested the International Mill
tary Tribunal to bring 54 persons
including the former British and
French Prime Ministers, to Nuern-
berg as defense witnesses in the
war crimes trial of % ranking
| NaziS.
If all their requests were granted
which seems extremely unlikely
the distinguished witnesses would
include former Allied foreign min
listers and ambassadors, the cream
Of Germany's military commanders
and even some of Won Ribbentrop's
old associates in the liquor business
/ Cites Talk With Churchill.
/ Goering's counsel is expected tc
open the first case for the defense
within 10 days.
Won Ribbentrop's request said hi
| had talked with Mr.. Churchill al
an unspecified time in the 1896
about the necessity of the creation
Of friendly relations between Ger
many and England"
He said he told Mr. Churchill thai

"a strong Germany. which was now
about to become a reality, repre-
sented the strongest support for
England's empire"
"At that time" Won Ribbentrop's s
request continued, Churchill re-
piled to these statements that Eng
land was intelligent and experienced
enough to get other powers on Eng
lands side If Germany should be-
come too strong. On this occasion,
Churchill stated unmistakably that
England would destroy Germany if
she should become too strong"
DR.. Otto Stahmer, counsel for
Goering, said the defense would at
tempt to prove that Goering had
tried until the last minute to avert
war with Britain in 1899. He asked
as witness Swedish engineer,
Birger Dahlerus of Stockholm, who
was described as an intermiary be-
tween Goering and British leaders
Just before the war broke out.
Defense Move Sought.
Defense counsel also challenged
the prosecutions charge that Ger
many had violated the Versailles
Treaty, and demanded an oppor-
tunity to seek to prove that German
infractions of the treaty were in
"retalia ton" for those by Allied
powers.
Immediately the Soviet chief
prosecutor, 1t Gen. Roman Ru-
denko, objected: This is a trial of
the main Nazi war criminals. 1t
would indeed be gross violation
of the tribunals charter to dwell
on problems which have nothing to
do with the charges we are investi-
eating"
Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, acting
chief British prosecutor, declared
For the defense to say other peo-
pie did the same thing is entirely
irrelevant. Standards are laid down
by the Hague Convention and
it Is no answer even If true, that
someone else committed breaches u

Cure for Sleeping Sickness
Believed Discovered by U. S.
By Thomas R. Henry

An apparent cure for African
sleeping sickness--the highly fatal
disease spread by the tsetse f1y-has
just been announced by the United
States Public Health Service. The
disease has made large areas of the
dark continent extremely dangerous
for white men and seriously deferred
development,
The Public Health Service treat
ment is an arsenic containing acid
developed by the Governments We
nereal disease research center at
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore
and tested with the cooperation of
the sleeping sickness services of the
Belgian Congo. French Equatorial
Africa, the British Gold Coast and
Nigeria colonies, and the Firestone
Rubber Co.'S plantations in Liberia
The remedy developed originally
from research studies in the arsenical
treatment of syphilis. The germs
of the two diseases belong in the
same general group, but sleeping
sickness has no venereal implica-
tions.

the Johns Hopkins laboratory, has

labor-Management
Conference Call by
President Urged

President Truman was asked
to call a new labor management
conference today in an open letter
signed by prominent engineers,
economists and publicists.
Last Thursday the CIO Execu-
tive Board called on Mr.. Truman to
summon Immediately such a con-
ference to consider immediate wage
increases" in view Of rising prices.
CIO President Philip Murray said
he would ask the President to have
the conference take up means for
establishing adequate guarantees
for stabilized national economy"
Today's letter said in part:
When the United States elected
10 adopt technology as its particular
field of activity and to develop large
scale business with mass production
as its particular form, it also elected
to submit to certain compulsions,
These compulsions--or conditions
for success-are:
q. Wages must be increased pro-
gressively with increase in produc-
ton.
Consumer Must Benefit.
20. The consumer must share In
prosperity with lower prices.
g. There must be clear-cut rules
Of the game scrupulously obeyed.
q. There must be well-tried team
play between labor, management
and other economic groups.
The fourth condition-team play
is the most important prerequisite
to prosperity, simply because nothing
toward accomplishing the other ends
can be done without the co-opera-
ton of all economic groups The
shortcomings of the Presidents la
Dor management conference in the
fall of 1945 presaged the present
hour of trouble and confusion II
was evident there that traditional
opponents were squaring off for a
free for all"
Bargaining Demanded.
After condemning strikes and
stating that facts are the substance
of bargaining; nothing must be
kept back" the latter concludes
with. We believe that if the fore
going facts and principles become
the substance of new conference
between labor and management, it
would be constructive"

the central nervous system which
causes the extreme drowsiness which
usually ends with death.
IL seems probable, says DR.. Eagle
that more than 90 per cent of ali
cases can be cured if sufficient
amount of the drug is administered
Early infections, he says, can bt
cured by six or seven injections giver
each day for a week If the treat
nent is spread over longer perioc
it apparently is just as effective, bu1
more time is required for a cure.
Most cases occur among natives
in areas where there are few doctors
The suggestion is that travelling
teams make a circuit of villages
visiting each place where the disease
is reported every week or so unit
it is cleared up.
The treatment, Dr. Eagle reports
does not seem to have any of the bat
effects of arsenical treatments ir
syphilis.
Within the limits of present ex-
perience." he says, the therapeutic
efficacy of the compound has beer
independent of the amount per in
lection or the number of injections
their frequency, or the total tiura
ton Of treatment. The important
consideration has been solely the
amount OF the drug received"

they gave the offers of sale They neither accepted nor rejected it. They paid the bill and that was all Then they called in Mir Stuart who has been on the cty's payroll for nearly year, with his office and other assistants and they proceeded to lower the rate schedules for electric light and power In doing so, they placed value the property of the electric light company muo.l one-quarter of the Black and veatch values.
 The whole proceeding to date has cost the city more than S20,00000 We have a rate schedule pro- posed by the council which the electric light company says it cannot possibly accept, and which, the com- pany has announced, they will take into court.
 It would seem that all have far for the expenditure of more than $2000o00 of the ciys money Is law suit.
 Furthermore, the claim is being made that if the city owned the utilities it could from the earnings, reduce taxes, build library, recreation center and make many improvements Just how this could be done if the values established by the council should be upheld by the court it is difficult to If that value is correct, the rates based on that value must according to the reasoning of the mayor, Mir Stuart and majority of the council, be low Then where is the city to make the large amount of profits it claims 1t will make? Do they intend to increase rates if the city buys?
 It all seems a bit puzzling when the record is examined

examined.

In the campaign period leading up to tomorrows city election this newspaper has supported neither ticket over the other It intention to offer an endorsement for any candidate at this time.
 But we cannot allow certain statement made by one ticket which does not the election issue one way the other but does directly insult this newspaper to pass without comment
 Ernest Parsons, and his Progressive Ticket, in one of the coored circulars being distributed around town accuses The Empire supporting the side other than his and the inference is that this is so because the Alaska Electric Light and Power Company buys adver- Using space in The Empire
 This Is false statement How would MT Parsons feel if we said that the only reason he is plugging fer municipal ownership is because by carrying such a program he would put his chief competitor in the merchandising of electric equipment out of business? Such statement would be as true as his contention that The Empires policy is swayed by the light com panys advertising.
 This newspaper sells advertising to all who would buy including Mir Parsons That is our business Be- cause Mir Parsons sells vacuum cleaner to the Gov ernor do we accuse him of being controlled politically by the Governor?
 We resent these mud-slinging tactics to which we did not think Mir. Parsons would stoop-but he has and it is our right and privilege to take exception to them.

THE PURCHASE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES

There seems to have been much confusion and misunderstanding created in the minds of the public over the proposed purchase of public utilities of Juneau that it might be beneficial look at the record itself disregarding for the moment, political propaganda C Last April the voters of Juneau signfed their desire to purchase the properties of the water company and the electric light and power company The present mayor and a majority of the council were elected on that platform.
 Almost immediately after election they employed Mir Walter Stuart at salary of $4o0 % month and furnished him with stenographic accounting and other engineering help, at cost which has not been made public MT Stuart proceeded to appraise these prop critics.
 Then later in the summer, the council and mayor employed another firm of appraisers in Kansas City, namely Black and Veatch to make an appraisal at cost in round figures of $12O0o0o.
 Before the Black and veatch report was received, the mayor insisted on receiving offers of sale from the electric light company and the water companies. These offers were given in advance of the Black and yeach report only the nsstence of the mayor for the utilities owners wanted to see the Black and veatch report before Submitting offers
 The record shows that majority of the council considered these offers too high. That would seem to be natural when is negotiating to sell property he usually does ot make his first offer too low It is generally higher than is later agreed after argu- ments are advanced both sides. That was pointed out at the the offers presented by Council John Young.
 The record shows that of the offers were ever acted upon by the council They did not vote on any of them They neither accepted nor rejected them nor did they submit any counter offers.
 The Black and veatch report was received in due time and the mayor and majority of the council seems to have accorded that the treatment that

Cardinal Von Galen of Germany, the second of the newly appointed cardinals to die, had planned to visit the United States this year. :. When Herbert Hoover was Food Administrator after the last war, he worked closely with Cardinal Achille Ratti, then Papal Nuncio to Poland, later Pope Plus XI. That was one reason why Hoover conferred with the present Pope on food relief. David Dubinsky, head of the Information Ladies Garment Workers, says he isn't putting up any money to take the United Auto Workers away from the CIO. The money he contribut- ed-$75, ,000-was for the relief of General Motors strikers families who, he felt, helped carry the ball to win wage increases for all labor .s. Incidentally, music. czar Pe- trillo also contributed $5,000a to General Motor strikers families, while one of the best money raisers for them was John L. Lewis enemy John Marchiando, head of the Progressive Miners Union. Lewis himself didn't contribute red cent, though several Senators and even some employers did The return of Maxim Litvinoff to top Soviet councils may be ore reason for a more cooperative policy in Moscow. Litvinoff, ex-Ambassador to Washington, has an English wife, was real believer in interna- tional cooperation. For the past two years, however, he got slapped around by Soviet intriguers.

II u U are puzzled as to why re- tulred veterans can't buy suits, the confidential Government figures on woolen and worsted goods will give you the answer.
 Briefly, it boils down to the fact that more woolens and worsted are being woven than almost ever be- fore-but they are all going to the ladies. Women's clothing bring hioher prices, so the poor veteran is being left out in the cold.
 II you don't believe it. look at the figures. During the last quarter Of l945, the production of woolens and worsted shot up B percent over the previous quarter, and 3l percent over the 1889 average. In ether words, we were making more wcolens at the end of 1945 than be- fore the war started.
 However, here is the pay-off. During the same closing months of l945, 20.000,000 additional yards of woolens and worsteds went into vcmcn's clothing. The amount used fer mems clothing did not increase at all
 This 20,00O,000 additional yards of woolens was enough to make nearly 6,O00,0O0 mems suits in three months. However, the men didn't get 'em; the women did.
 Here is the reason. During the war, woolen looms were required to
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-04-01

make fabrics for uniforms. This was required by the Government. But as looms were released from war production, they shifted to light woolen fabrics suitable for women's clothing, where .here is higher profit.
 Government officials point to Jack Small's Civilian Production Administration as the guilty outfit. Instead of setting aside more wool en cloth for mems suits, last week the OPA actually reduced the set aside. Why, remains mystery that cnly MT. Small can answer.

The scientists had their own rea- son for postponing the atomic bomb test, and this was the one which finally controlled-namely, the impossibility of measuring the underwater atomic explosion until a machine is perfected.
 At the last Cabinet meeting, however, President Truman brought up an additional reason-the fact that he couldn't spare the Demo- cratic Senators and Congressmen who wanted to witness the test in mid-Pacific.
