Assembly Move 10 Tax
Plane Gas Jeopardizes
D. {. Boundary Pact
BY ALEX r.. PRESTON,
Star Staff Correspondent.

RICHMOND, Jan. 9.-If Virginia
ratifles congressional legislation
establishing boundary between the
District and this State, airlines
operating from the Washington Ma
tional Airport would not be exempt
ed from proposed fuel tax, meas
ureS now pending before the Gen.
eral Assembly reveal.
The Assembly, which convenes for
60-day session today, is expected
to ratify the so-called Randolph bill
recently approved by Congress. That
measure seeks to settle the long dis
puted boundary issue by establishing
the District line at the existing high
water mark of the Potomac River
on the Virginia shore
Arlihgton's legislative delegation,
State Senator William D. Medley
and Delegates j. Maynard Magruder
and George Damn are unanimous in
their determination to settle the
boundary dispute at the current
session.
Opposing Stipulations.
A complication has arisen, how
ever, II the Federal Government S
stipulation that aviation gasoline
sold at the airport shall not be taxed
by the Commonwealth, and other
pending Virginia legislation that a
5-cen>-a-gallon tax be levied on all
gasoline consumed in flights across
this State.
The congressional act which Vir-
ginia now is expected to ratify,
places the airport in Virginia but
gives it the status of a Federal res
ervation. The States alcoholic bev-
erage control laws will prevail but
taxing of aviation gasoline is spe-
officially exempted.
The assembly's anticipated en-
actment of parallel legislation would
at first glance. preclude the COM
monWealth from making any levy
against the fuel. However, the Vir-
ginia advisory legislative council
has recommended to Gov. Darden
passage of other legislation, which
would place a 5 centS-a- gallon tax
on all aviation gasoline consumed
In flights over this State, whether
or not stops are made here or the
fuel was purchased in Virginia.
Would Improve Facilities.
A study committee of the council,
headed by Delegate Willis Cohoon,
Suffolk, has proposed the levy which
would be earmarked specifically to
improve aviation facilities in Vir-
glnia, just as motor vehicle gasoline
taxes are used exclusively for high
way construction and maintenance.
Charles R. Fenwick of Airing
ton, who was a member of the
council and now is here in con-
nection with State matters, said
Virginia's ratification of the boun-
dairy dispute might have to be made
with some reservation in connection
with proposed new levy which, in
cidentally, would apply to all opera
tions over Virginia and was not
specifically aimed at the Washing
ton National Airport. Those COM
panies which operate out of Wash
ington, but do not cross Virginia
territory, would be untouched byI
the proposal.

Soldiers in Switzerland
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Heartening comes from Switzerland. Resi- dents of the tiny Alpine confederation have gone record approving completely most of the actions the hundreds of thousands of CT visitors who have swarmed across their country during the last year In fact say the Swiss, the boys, generally more gentlemanly than their peacetime touring counter parts.
 Months ago, when plan was broached similar to the one in force after World War which allowed soldiers vacatoning, many of the Swiss doubtful They had heard vague-and terrible-tales of the damage which American troops could do both in war and in fun. But those who remembered the pleasant relations which grew out of that former venture had their way CT tourists accepted, at small over all vacation rae-S35 for eight-day tours, including meals rooms and transportation. To date more than million officers and enlisted men have taken advantage of the offer.
 Instead of being disappointed result of the decision Switzerland now seems delighted. The add- tional rtvenue is welcome The initial costs of those 1000 trips total almost S900O000 And to that must be added considerable sum, for each doughboy is allowed to take with him $50 for additional spending money But more important than the revenue is the political effect of the visiting. The Swiss say American soldiers, on their good behavior, do to pro- mote international friendship than any State De- partment Each touring GI they say is goodwill ambassador. And be certain that these same boys returning to the United States will bring with them friendly memories which will preclude the pos | sibility of war

many large indusriasts in the States with the ad- vantages of investing money in Alaskan ventures. Director Clark is doing excellent job in carrying out the purpose for which the Alaska Legislature of 1945 appropriated $120000 The Board has issued several excellent publications Alaska and Clark has made many personal contacts with Outside industrialiSts
 But all the same, Alaska finds itself in strange position On the one hand because it is apparent that the capital for any large scale development of Alaska not in Alaska, capital investment is sought from the States. And at the same time vicious campaign is being carried on against the capitalists from who have already invested their money in Alaska
 Hand in hand with this goes a continuous effort, in spite repeated defeats the part of the Inter for Departments chief representative the Governor to tax higher and higher in Alaska especially the absentee owner"
 No frontier land developed high taxes
 The threat of high taxes, official criticism against the absentee owner and the cloud flung Alaska land titles by former Secretary of the Interior Ickes are the three major baricades to largescale devel opment of Alaska.
 Secretary Krug is tackling the latter with gusto is up to the Territory take of the first two but Secretary Krug help.

PROGRAM FOR ALASKA

Secretary of the Interior Julius Krug, who will visit Alaska next month to talk residents and government officials about what be done by his department for Alaska has outlined a seven-pont program for discussion during his trip and for development after
 The first point concerns in addition to presenting reliable information about Alaska program to settle questions concerning the availability of public lands and campaign to invest capital in Alaska.
 The settlement of the land question and the cam- paign to induce capital investment in Alaska go hand in hand The sooner the courts given the chance to determine what land any, will be reserved for Indians under aboriginal rights and what land will be open to development on permanent basis by industry the quicker will be the development
 At the same time believe campaign should be conducted to inform the capitalist in the States that Alaska wants his investment of capital and Aaskans will welcome him. The chief official of the Interior Department has been very critical of the absentee owner" who is in reality Outside capitalist who has invested money in Alaska. This criticism has the effect of discouragng investment by others
 Meanwhile the Territory devotes a large chunk of its budget for financing the Alaska Development Board whose director, Henry Clark, has impressed

MAN IN STREET DID NOT SEE
 WAR

I came back to Europe i'll 1880 for the London Naval Conference, when it became distressingly clear that Mussolini was planning to stab France in the back; and again in 1886, when Hitler was betting his money on Franco in Spain and had buffalowed France by sending his troops into the Rhineland
 Each time it seemed obvious to trained observers that the first sparks of war were flying in Eur ope. But it was also impossible to convince some people of the danger. Even Franklin Roosevelt, far sighted as he was in other diplomatic matters, either did not see or else chose to ignore Hitler's rehearsal for war in Spain. On occasions when I discussed Spain with him, he seemed totally un- concerned.
 The French Cabinet, more alert to what was happening, debated all day of the day Hitler invaded the Rhineland.
 More recently the German gen. erals on trial at Nuernburg re- yealed that Hitler had no troops and no supplies; that he was gambling on French indecision. AL so he knew the British would not support France He was right Word from the Bank of England that there would be no British support for France was the final straw for the French Cabinet.
 It did not act.
 Next day, Hitler's forces were in the Ruhr and Rhineland for keeps.
 The same thing happened when Hitler moved into Austria Testi- mony at the Nuernburg trial shows that the Germans were not pre- pared, were gambling on Allied in- decision.
 Likewise in the Far East. When the Japanese war lords moved into Manchuria in September, 1881, the United States could have nipped an Asiatic war before it started. Sec retary of State Stimson, who knew what was happening, tried to send the fleet But Herbert Hoover backed by COP isolationists, re- fused.
 The same thing happened tc Roosevelt in 1888 when Adm. Will liam D. Leahy urged that Japan be stopped by iong-distance naval

PEOPLE MUST BE ALERT
 FOR WAR

Moral to be drawn from all this is that peace conferences some times can be deceptive. Vigorous action to prevent war depends on public opinion. So it is vitally im- portant that public opinion not be lulled to sleep. The Kellogg Pact to outlaw war was a great and worthwhile step. No word in it should have been changed. But it should have been interpreted for what Kellogg meant it to be. And for that Stimson tried to make it a goal toward which the world must work, not a panacea or cure all for war.
 The above ideas are set forth not because the writer happens to be in reminiscent mood, but be- cause the present peace conference may be interpreted by some as the cure all and the end all, the stopping point between World War II and new era of peace. Unfortunately It isn't. It is not even a full-fledged peace confer ence. No conference can be com plete when the most important bel ligerent, Germany, is a taboo sub ject and when another important belligerent, Austria, is also banned
 But even more tragic than that this conference in a sense high lights the fact that new trouble maker, a new possible belligerent has taken the place of Germany ! and Japan and is using exactly the same tactics.
 Just as Hitler counted on French indecision when he invaded the Rhineland, so Stalin counted or Allied war weariness when he started to take over Iran. He did not figure that the United Nations would become such a powerful mcbiliZer of world opinion, that American diplomacy would rush tC Trans defense. And just as Hitler for months waged a war of nerves against Czechoslovakia, so Moscow for months has kept Turkey or tenderhooks and was on the verge of invading two eastern Turkish provinces last spring.
 By this time the United State was more alert than in the pre- war days of Hitler. The battle ship Missouri was rushed to Istan bul and it was made quite clea that the United States was on tn, side of peace.
 Today the American public i more alert and better informed than ever before. Today, also, tn U. $. government is more alert ant better prepared to act. But even tually people get weary. Eventually the war of nerves tears then down. Therefore one thing to b kept firmly in mind is that thi peace conference is merely nibblin at the edges of peace. It is mere ly one milestone along the road.
 And if peace is to be won finally there must be many milestone

with nerve-racking crises in be- tween and with the American people prepared to take a firm stand against a former ally if we are finally to attain the great goal set for us by Frank B. Kellogg Is years ago this month.
 Though it takes much time and great patience, in my opinion that goal eventually can be won.
