I Early approval by the Board
of Public Welfare of a congress
Sional recommendation for a
separate department of correc-
tions under the District Commits
sioners was forecast today when
a majority of the boards mem
bers said they would have no
personal objections to the pro-
posal for divorcing administra-
ton of the penal system from
the Welfare Board.
Edgar Morris, chairman of the
Welfare Board, announced it would
hold public meeting at 2 pm.
Monday to take action on the report
issued yesterday by the Hebert Sub
committee of the House District
Committee after an investigation of
the Districts penal system
The report deserves the appreci-
alton of the entire community" he
declared
Aside from criticism directed at
the Welfare Board for its operation
Of the District Jail, the members
said they thought it was "on the
whole, an excellent report" embody-
ing many of their own recommended
tions for improvement of personnel
and facilities.
| Two First Objectives.
Immediate establishment of the
corrections department and an
| emergency appropriation of 100000
to correct personal and structural
weaknesses at the District Jail are
two of the first objectives of the
congressional committee, which Of
fered long-range program for COM
plete revision of penal practices.
| Speedy action on the appropria-
tlon was made possible when Chair
man O'Mahoney of the Senate sub
committee in charge of the 1947 Dis
trict supply bill invited Representa-
tive Hebert, Democrat, of Louisiana,
chairman of the special investigat-
ing committee, to submit the pro-
posal in time for consideration with
the budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning July l.
Willingness to see the Welfare
Board reduced to an advisory ca
pacity was expressed by A. J. Dris-
coll, chairman of the Institutions
Committee administering the penal
J system, Fred S. Kogod and Dr.
Ethel L. Nixon, members of that
committee, and Mrs. Radford Moses.
A. Harding Paul, vice chairman
of the board, said he would advo-
cate establishment of Department
of Corrections provided the Corpo-
ration Counsel rules that it would
be legal to do so prior to passage
of enabling legislation. An attor-
ney, Mr.. Paul, expressed the opinion
that the Welfare Board could dele
gate its administrative powers to a
responsible department head, but
not to the Commissioners.
Offers to Serve on Committee.
Mr.. Morris said he would be glad
to serve on committee to work out
long range program for the penal
system, as recommended by the Con-
gressional Committee. He preferred
however, not to comment on the
plan for setting up a corrections de-

Chance for 0PA
In Senate Vote
Says Agency Can Be
Saved if 1t Corrects
Mistakes Soon
BY the Associated Press

Senator La Toilette, Progress.
sive, of Wisconsin today gave
OPA a fighting chance for its life
in the Senate, but only if the
price agency speedily correct;
what he termed its mistakes.
Pointing out that OPA has a two.
week breathing spell for this pur-
pose before the Senate takes up the
legislation, Senator La Toilette de-
clared that the agency's past tardi-
ness in inStituting reforms was re-
Sponsible for its present uncertain
plight.
The Wisconsin Senator, who saiC
he wants to see OPA continued with
some reasonable" amendments. tOld
a reporter he is convinced that the
House vote ripping the lid off the
agency'S controls bespoke pent-uL
anger at OPA sloWness in adjusting
individual errors.
Delay in Decisions Cited.
said, 1t established what I call a
defense in depth 1t pushed its
first lines far out ahead of the area
where final decisions can be made.
"As result, when an injustice in
price control is called to its atten-
ton, the case has to crawl upward
through a series of divisions and it
takes months to reach the decision
point. That's one way to hold the
line, but I don't think it's the right
way"
He claimed there were hundreds
of cases where warranted price re-
lief had been unnecessarily delayed
adding:
Il think the House vote can be
explained by the fact that a great
many members just decided that
nothing could be done about it short
of killing off the OPA and taking
the headache that goes with it,
Senator La Toilette said.
Wherry Backs House Amendments.
The Senator predicted that un-
less some strong public reaction de-
velops, Senators interested in farm
meat, lumber and many other prod
ucts will combine to force Senate
approval of a sharply curtailee
measure similar to that which
passed the House.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
Republican whip, served notice yes.
terday that he will make fight
to retain House-approved amend
mentS, which he said were "all righ
in principle" " but might need slight
alterations.
Meanwhile, OPA Chief Porter act
ed to hold his price control staff to-
gether in the face of the House de
ciSion.
Mr.. Porter arranged to make ;
personal 'Stay-on- Job" appea
Monday to 5000 OPA employees here
and for similar meetings next weel
at regional and district Offices.

Statehood and Taxes
Alaska Weekly)

Further proof of the dis-simarty between the for mer Secretary of the Interior and Secretary Krug, if any be needed is his open assertion that Alaska should have statehood at the earliest possible moment It will be recalled that Ickes sought to both extend and per petuae his control the Territory and therefore bit terly resented the thought of statehood.
 The SecretaryS support should prove valuable to the proponents of the idea and that again brings up the question of cost concerning which the Ketchikan Chron icle offers the following editorial suggestion:
 "One of our readers makes the suggestion that the net income proposed and studied for Alaska for era years would be almost as easy way of collecting revenue from transient defense base workers in the next two years it would have been in the and pre-War years of boom activity.
 'The U. $. government plans to spend close to S5O, 900 900 for construction of permanent Notifications in Alaska, chiefly at Fort Richardson, Ladd Field Fairbanks Kodiak and in the Aeutian Islands. As Sen ator Norman R. Walker of Ketchikan pointed out through this paper few months ago. the treasury of Alaska could now have had 15 to 25 millions dollars in its treasury if it had enacted net income tax early in the war, to collect few dollars from transient base workers.
 'The same thing will be true in the next few years While the amount to be spent will be only tenth twentieth what Uncle Sam spent for wartime construc- tion it is still sizeabe And if turns five or six times in each Alaska town where it is doed out in wages, it will create $250 000,000 in bus- ness, all of which would be paying portion into the public traesury. Collections from that much money would probably pay the costs of transition from Ter ritory into the new State of Alaska.
 At any rate Alaskas tax system is messed up one and the per cent sales tax has not helped much It is painful tax where taxes should be neary painless possible. The fact that lot of government money will be spent in Alaska is inducement to tax defense workers whose sales taxes would be low be- their food in most from taX-exempt government mesShas and many of their purchases ar made in government commssaries. This is true in part, even of Alaska railroad workers"

the firm line toward Russia which MT. Byrnes has tablished at Pars-and which indorSement incidental ly he rescinded later.
 By appeasng Mr. Wallace, who would appease Rus sia the President has weakened position on such issues the Polish elections the economic infltration of Germany and the Yugoslav-Italian controversy at Trieste.
 If the United States should have no voice in political decisions concerning Eastern Europe as MT. Wallace in Trieste, and have business asking Russia and Poland to keep faith with the Big Three agreements concerning free elections made at Yata and reiterated at Potsdam
 H as Mr. Wallace implied, half of Germany must be considered part of Red world, the other half part of free world such premise is at odds with the plan for the unificaton of Germany which MT. Byrnes pro- posed at Stuttgart only short time ago.
 It seems ironc that, having achieved substantial measure of bipartisan support for Americas foreign policy, the Democrats should go to war among themselves.
 The internal situation in the State Department pre- sents problem which must be solved at the highest policy level
 When Pat Hurley resigned in disgust from his ambas sadorial post in China complaining his program had been sabotaged by certain in the State De- partment it's Chinese division was headed by John Car ter Vincent.
 Is it a coincidence that this same Mr. Vincent heads the division Far Eastern affairs which is at odds with General MacArthurs ti-Communst pol icy in Japan? The Chinese situation has been permitted Department.
 1t would be caamitous to have General MacArthur's program nuifed by the same kind of slow poison Sec retary Byrnes should give this matter his attention just as it is possible for him to do so.
