EMERGENCY
 FOOD PACKAGES


 A check in the amount of $3326.40 collected by the Fair banks unit of American Women's Volunteer Services will be pre- sented to the President of the United States on September 30 in connection with sending emer- gency food packages abroad.
 The gift will be given the Pres ident by Mrs. Ogden L. Mills, Ma tional President of AWVS and widow of the former Secretary of the Treasury. A CHILKOOT BARRACKS W
 Chilkoot Barracks, consisting of some 70 buildings and the area, including woodland and covering 400 acres, has been awarded to the Veterans Alaska Cooperative Company, reversing an award made by lot on August to Kenneth E. O'Harra of Anchorage, opera tor of the O'Harra Bus Lines.
 The decision, rendered by As sistant Secretary of the Interior Warner w. Gardner, was made following hearings brought about> by an appeal of the Veterans or ganization that MT. O'Harra's company was not qualified under the regulations of the Surplus Property Act since it did not meet the requirements of small busi- ness"
 Both parties bid $1O5, ,OOO, and the property will be turned oveS to the Veterans group by the dist posal agency, the Bureau of Land Management of the Interior De- partment, for that amount.
 Assistant Secretary Gardner's decision that the O'Harra Bus Lines was not small business was based on the facts submitted at the hearings that the company controls almost 75 percent of the highway motor transportation, business in the Territory and has no competition in many parts of Alaska.
 In his concluding remarks, MT. Gardner stated that if Chilkoot Barracks 'Were awarded to O'Harra under veterans prefer ence and added to the already ex- tensiVe properties of the dominant bus operator in Alaska, do not see that there would be produced the maximum of independent op- erators', 'an equitable distributioA of surplus property, or strength ened competitive position of small business concerns as provided in the Surplus Property Act"
 The Veterans Cooperative Com pany contemplates establishment of varied small independent enter prises at Chilkoot Barracks, in cluding grocery and drug stores, filling stations, hardware stores, dairies and other similar busi- nesses in plans designed to aid several hundred veterans and their families. Many of the mem bers of the organization served in Alaska during the war.

Income Taxes And Federal Payrolls
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Secretary of the Treasury Snyder was speaking as New Deal politician when he declared in an address before the American Bankers Association in Chicago that income tax reduction will be feasible in the near future
 For our common good, he said, "Our present tax levels must be maintained for time. This is ines capable if we to achieve balanced budget and surplus to be used to reduce the public debt
 In arriving at that conclusion Mr. Snyder overlooked an obvious fact
 Continuance of the present burdenSOme and cOnfSca tory income tax levels is unacceptable only the main tenance of the New Deals present swollen army of po litical payrollers is also "mescapable.'
 Reducing the payroll army obviously would make it possible for the government to lower income tax rates and still meet it's obligations to balance the budget and make payments on the public debt
 But the New Deal administration is steadily expand ing the payroll army.
 In it's September report the joint Congressional com mtee reduction of nOneSSentlal federal eXpendl- tures of which Senator Byrd of Virginia is chairman, pointed out that 21 372 employees added to the payros of civilian government departments and ager cies in July Only the and navy departments re- duced their civilian payrols.
 In it's preceding report made public in August, theI Byrd committee revealed that in the year since VI Day permanent peacetime government agencies expanded| their payros from 957 683 to 1213974 and that agen cies created since VJ Day had added 1l5O more pay roll names
 Senator Byrd reported also that through the liquda ton of emergency agencies by Congressional or  der the number of employees In such agencies had de- creased from the end of the to 54 4O9 last June but that only few of the 105,364 displaced en- ployees actually went off the federal payroll
 The New Deal merely transferred then-67,881 toI established peacetime bureaus and departments and Al, 300 to the newly created postwar agencies.
 In many of the departments and agencies there less work to do than there under the pressure of war; but the New Deal has nevertheless added 318633 employees to the payrols
 As Senator Byrd observed
 ''The conclusion that jobs have been manufactured in order that they can be retained is nescapable''
 Republican members of Congress have asserted that if Republican majority is elected to Congress in Mo- vember income tax rates can be reduced next year.
 Referring to those assertions Secretary Snyder said in his address before the Bankers Association:
 'I think it is pure fantasy, if not plain demogogy, to talk of tax reduction and debt reduction in the breath"
 However it is entirely feasible to reduce income taxes without interfering with the process of reducing the public debt
 All that is necessary is to reduce government spending enough to offset the loss in occasoned by the income reduction and the treasury would be exact ly able to make payments against the debt it is

Justice Prettyman said that be-
cause the controversy concern
Ing agency ran persistently
through the entire course of the
case, I'VE think the error was
substantial and reversible"
Justice Bennett Champ Clark
dissented. "In my opinion the
facts in this case justified the in
struction on the agency question, /"
he said. II do not think the in
struction unnecessarily limited
the jury in it's deliberation, and
feel that their determination
should be upheld"
The case was remanded to the
District Court for further trial.
On it's original trial, a jury re-
turned verdict for the railroad.
Attorneys George E. C. Hayes,
James A. Cobb and Leon A. Ran

SUPREME COURT HAS SET
TIED QUESTION OF SEGRE-
CATION IN BUS TRAVEL
Continued from Page u

(COntlnued from rage -
ing that decision, as the writ of
certiorari was granted in that
case shortly after this case was
argued. We see no valid distinc-
ton between segregation in buses
and in railroad cars"
The decision of the case turned
on an instruction of the trial judge
that the burden of proving the
police officer at Lynchburg acted
on behald of the railroad on the
plaintis and that if the jury found
that he, in requiring the plaintiffs
to leave the train, was acting sole
ly as a police officer and not Will
ly or partly as an agent for the
railroad, they should return a YER
dict for the railroad.
The opinion, delivered by AS
sociate Justice E. Barrett Pretty
man, declared that ut was not
necessary that the policeman be
the agent of the railroad COM
pany in order that the company
be liable. The court, therefore,
erred in telling the jury that if
it is found that the police officer
was not acting wholly or part
ly as an agent of the defendant,
