 0fDr. Ruth Gruber Is
 Given 0ufin Testimony

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Rep. Jed Johnson (D-Okla), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Inter- for Department appropriations, ques- toned witnesses at length, during hearings on the Departments ap- propriation bill, about Dr. Ruth GruEer publicist, $6,000 a year employee of the Alaska Railroad
 Testimony from Department and Alaska Railroad witnesses indicat- ed that until she left the railroad last December she was the highest paid employee of the road except the general manager.
 Col O. F. Ohlson, former gen. eral manager of the railroad. testi- fled pr. GruEer was assigned by Secretary Ickes in l941 to make a study of Alaska and assist in it's development.
 Ohlson said she went to Europe during the time she was on the payroll and arranged to bring refugees to Oswego, N. Y.
 You might be surprised, Colon el,' Rep. Johnson told Ohlson, that the. Secretary of the Interior act ually had the gall to ask President Truman to give the lady Presi- dential decoration for bringing those refugees to America"
 Col. John P. Johnson, present general manager of the railroad, told the committee he would not put anyone on the railroads pay roll unless that person performed services.

ASSERT FAXES ON
 ALA5KA! INDUSTRY NOT HIGH ENOUGH
Two Largest Businesses in NorihIdnd Pay "Inade-
 quate Sum, Claim

WASHINGTON, May 7.--Alaskan taxes on industries were termed inadequate" during hearings on the Interior Department Appropri- ations Bill.
 Ike P Taylor, Chief Engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, tes- tified that the territory's principal source of income was taxes on the 'almon fishing and mining indus tries The record of the hearings was made public today.
 They tsalInon packers) do about s60,0oo,o00 business in fishing and contribute S1,0o000o in taxes" Rep.- Kirwan said
 At least $l0,000,0o0 should go back to the Government in taxes, the same as would be done in the states. If they levied taxes in AL aska as they do in this country, Alaska would have almost all the money she wants to develope that country
 Question Asked
 Taylor said that was true but the companies also paid income taxes to the Federal government. He said gold mining companies paid less than a million dollars a year in taxes, in answering ques- tion by Rep. Rooney D-N.Y)
 "But the fact still remains that these are the two largest, business es or industries in the territory and that the people of Alaska have failed, Through their legislature, to make them pay their way. is that no4 right?" Rooney asked { lHYes, that is true" Taylor re- piled, but I am not qualified to say what they should pay. am only a Federal Bureau official up there"
 Tax On Liquor
 Rep Johnson tD-Okla) said he believed there should be local tax es on liquor and asked Gov. Ernest Gruening to explain what was be- ing done to raise taxes in Alaska.
 Gruening replied the territory had only 75,000 people.
 T think you will agree that I have tried and will continue to try to urge that the territory contri- bute more" Gruening continued, but submit that the development of that area is beyond the capacity of 75,000 people. of which three sevenths are poor Indians and Es- kimos."
 Money Goes Out
 The Governor said the Federal Government mad collected sl6.000.- coo in income taxes from Alaska and had poured nearly s3.000000, ,- 900 into the national economy in it's 75 years of existence. He said very little of that amount had stay ed in Alaska.
 T think we should keep more of it there," he said, 'and blow it back. ,"

 WARNINGS

LONDON, May IT. Winston Churchill declared today The su- preme hope and prime epdeayora' toward achieving lasting peace lis to reach good and faithful un- derstanding with Soviet Russia through the agency and organ ism of the United Nations"
 Only in this way can catastrophe be avoided he said.
 The wartime Prime Minister spoke at ceremony giving him the freedom of the city of Vest minister, the section of London en- bracing the houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey.
 Churchill asked the world to ponder What happens if the United Nations themselves are sundered by an awful schism, clash of ideal ogies and passions?"
 Failure to find the answer" he said, may lead the whole human race into new period of misery, slaughter and abasement more ag- onizing and fatal than those which have twice been endured in the lifetime of most of us"
 He spoke of the possibility that the British Empire might pass away and recalled that some voices bid us quit Palestine and quit India'.'
 All the world should consider deeply what the consequences would be should the Empire die and thus leave void,' said Churchill, who, during the war, declared he did not propose to preside at liquidation of the Empire,

WANTS ALA5kA TO
 MATCH FED. FUNDS
 0NR0AD BUILDING

WASHINGTON, May 7.--Alaskan officials were told by Rep. .John- son D-Okla) during hearings on the Interior Department Appro- priation bill that some members of the House Appropriations Commit tee feel it is time the Territory matches, on some basis, Federal funds furnished it for road work
 Johnson, chairman of the sub- committee handling the Interior Bill, recalled that the House Roads committee, after investigation of the Alaska highway system, said it did not feel like being liberal with Federal funds in the Territory un- til Alaska is ready to match those funds as is done by the States. He added the matching need not be on the same basis as in the States Tt is the feeling of some mem- bers of this committee that here after the Territory must match on some kind of basis any Federal funds that are expended in Alaska, Johnson said. And it occurs tc ne should the Territory decide tc do that, is might be an inspiration to this committee to be much more liberal so far as road consCruc-lon is concerned"
 The record of the hearings was made public today when the bill was reported to the House.
 No Discrimination
 Witnesses brought out that Alas ka is not included in distribution of Federal Road Funds as are the States and Gov. Gruening said the Territory would have received 8 much larger sum If it had been included. Johnson replied he did not want to see either Alaska or Federal government discriminated against.
 Gruening said Alaska was the only State or Territory which has been excluded from division of the road funds. He asserted 1t had been uniquely discriminated against
 If Alaska is road minded" Johr- son said, and is ready to embark ion program of road building and road improvement, then the Terri tory evidently will be willing to dc more about it before it calls on the Congress to build additional roads.
 Appropriation Sought
 Alaskan officials asked for s. 79O, 400 for road work during the next year. The current years ap- propriation is $2,75l 800.
 Ike P. Taylor. chief engineer ol | the Alaska Road Commission. tes- tified that the Territory has con- structed l09 miles of road entirely with funds appropriated by the legislature at cost of $583.465 He gave data to show that from 1905 to June 30. 1945, total oi $52, ,353, ,648 had been spent on tho Territorial reads and that of tht total the Federal government hae put up $4l. .643,99o.
 | Gruening urged more liberal ap- propriations for road construction in the Territory and said the las session of the legislature had ap. propriated s575,oo0 for such work

ALASKA RAILROAD NEVER BUILT FOR
 SPEED IN TRAFFIC
General Manager Johnson 1estifies al Hearing
 on Appropriations

WASHINGTON, May T = Hopes of Alaskans for a modern railroad are "out of the question and will never be possible because the AL aska Railroad was not built to handle high speed traffic, Col. John P. Johnson. General Manag- CT of the road, told the House Ap- populations Committee durin g hearings on the Interior Depart ment Appropriations Bill.
 In testimony made public today Johnson said the road was con- structed at the cheapest possible cost and followed the lines of least resistance. Curves along bays and rivers, he said, run 10, 12 and l4 degrees whereas those on railroads in the United States run not more than three and in some cases four degrees.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
(Note-This is the second in the series of Drew Pearson's expose of the behind-t -the-s scenes lobbying against price control)

WASHINGTON-For some time Maj. Gen. Graves Erskine, ex-Mar- inc fighter on Two Jima and now mead of the Labor Departments Unemployment Administration, has been trying to get more clothes for veterans. To this end he asked Civ ilian Production Administrator John Small to shift wool manufacture from making so much fabric for women to produce more for men Fabrics for women's clothing bring higher profits, and the wool indus try has been concentrating on them.
 General Erskine thought he had it all arranged with OPA Admin ,strator Small to issue an order re- garding this. But he didn't count cn charming wool lobbyist Arthur BeSse. Besse, head of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers Is net only a New England blue blood and Treasurer of the North American Yacht Racing Union, but a smooth and convincing talker He talked MT. Small right out of the order transferring more woolen fabrics to mems clothing.
 General Erskine was only train ed to fight Japs on Two Jima. He hadn't reckoned on the wool lobby -'he veterans were out of luck.

ROAD FUND TRIM N D
 IN REPORT
House Committee Presents Allofmenfof ofMoney for
 Northern Agencies

WhSHlNGlON, May [. - c House Appropriation Committee has trimmed funds for road con- struction, repair and maintenance in Alaska from s3.790,4 400, as re-, commended by the Budget Bureau. to $2.252. 900 and added an amend ment which would require the Ter ritory to put up one-fourth of the cost of it's road surveys, plans and new construction.
 The Committee so reported to the House today in bringing in the Interior Department Appropriations Bin for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
 The action was taken after Com- mittee members had complained during hearings that Alaska was not contributing fair sum to im- provement of it's road system. Gov ernor Gruening had testified the Territory had contributed one fourth of the cost in the past and the Committee said it accepted his figures.
 Equipment Transfer
 The Committee authorized trans fer to the Interior Department of War Department buildings and equipment now in use by the Alas ka Road Commission for mainten- ance of the Alaska Highway. It said 1t considered the primary need for development of tife Territory was construction of additional roads to open up areas where agli- culture. mining and other enter prises may be undertaken. It said of the total appropriation 1902, 900 was for surveys, plans and new roads and that no part of the funds was for use outside of the Territory.
 For Law Enforcement
 The Committee approved appro- priation of S8,060 for two additional law enforcement employees of the Indian Bureau and recommended that one of them be assigned to cover the area in which the Indian village of Circle Is located. It said 1t was advised that one large store in the village sold more liquor to the natives than 1t did groceries. wearing apparel and other neccssi- ties of life.
 The Committee which eliminated all funds for surveys by the Gen. eral Land Office. except s5o,000 for work in Alaska said veterans and others who wished to homestead there should have the benefit of prior investigations into land use. It refused funds of s1.250,00o for construction of a lodge. dock and warehouse in the Bartlett Cove area of Glacier Bay National Mon- ument but approved $33i 400 for commercial fisheries in the Terri- tory and $3.o8400s for the Alaska Native Service which was $l8o,000 less than requested The amount included funds for additional ser- vice pay allowed in Alaska, educa- tion of Natives. conservation of health, welfare and relief and con- servation of resources. They pre- viously had been carried under separate headings
 For Winfield Home
 The Committee recommended that the Indian Service extend such aid and assistance to Minnie Field who operates an orphanage near Juneau and said the Bureau should encourage and assist this kindly and motherly matron" to continue the institution where 45 children are cared for. It paid high compliments to Don c. Foster. General Superintendent of the AL /(sOUffuHed on pa0e T1f1
