New Alcoholic Clinic

Judge Walter j. Casey, Of the
Municipal Court told q meeting OF
the Washington Committee for
Education on Alcoholism IN the
Force School yesterday that he
hoped the alcoholic clinic which
would be set up under the Hebert
bill will not be top-heavy with pro-
fessional personnel.
He said he feared the clinic would
be composed of too many doctors,
pschiatrists, lawyers or social work.
ers.
Judge Casey said he believed
commission should be appointed to
study the problem OF alcoholism
and make recommendations to
Congress. He conceded, however, he
is minority OF one for scrapping
the provisions Of the present bill
and substituting a commission.

'but I take the position that the
appointment Of commission such
as propose would be doing some
thing for the problem now. II this
legislation passes, we will, to large
extent, be forced to carry out its
provisions by trial and error. It
goes without saying that, however,
If the Hebert bill becomes law, it
will have my whole-hearted sup
port"
In expressing his hope that the
clinic would not be top-heavy with
professional personnel, he said this
was because of his experience for
the past year and half with the
Alcoholics Anonymous, working with
the probation Office of the Munich
pal Court.
"Up to the time this group became
actively associated with our Office
in handling alcoholics, that Office
had very indefinite success with
probationers who were alcoholics" !"
he said. Apparently they regarded
the sincere hard-working probation
officers as just another official group
prying into their jurnbled lives.
Qualified workers could not win
their confidence.
Food for Thought.
''The AA group succeeded because,
in that so-important first contact,
they recognized a fellow-sufferer.
There may be food for thought, too,
in the fact that the group repre-
sentative has no official job in court.

agreed that the alcoholic is a SEN

Unfair Taxation
(The Denver POSt)

REVISION OF THE nations tax structure, which the house ways and committee is undertaking is job that has needed attention for long time It is ad mtted that the federal income tax system is unfair in respects But to nothing has been done to remedy these njuStices because in many of the the remedy would cost the treasury money.
 Double taxation of corporation dividends is practice which has been under fire for years corporation pays income tax it's profits Then when these profits distributed in the form of dividends the sockholder is stuck for another tax on them.
 There's agitation for credits for earned income The theory of this is that income which is earned should be taxed at lower rate than income which is received from investments From 1924 to 1942 credit was a- lowed for earned income but this principle was viru- ally nulfied by arbitrary classification of all income under certain amount earned and all certain amount unearned.
 Probably the most glaring injustice is in federal tax ation of the income of married couples In nine com muny property states, married couple reduce its tax by credng one-ha of the income to each spouse But in the other thrtynne states couples cannot split their tax total income into two halves for income tax purposes The result is that married couples are taxed more heavily in the noncommunty property states
 The system of taxing capital gains and losses also has been under fire. While net gains taxable income net losses can be deducted from other income only to the extent of $1O0O although they also may be carried forward against net gains of following years As long as capital gains taxed it reasonable that capital
 losses should be deductible up the amount of other income.
 Congress is in process of making tax cuts now If re- visions necessary in the tax system to remove inequa ties and nuSticeS reduce revenues those can be Ist fled as additional tax relief If the tax system isn't strengthened out when collections are so high then perhaps it never will be done -r7-

Give Them The Truth
(BV Barnet NOVer)

(By Barnet Nover)
 IN THE COURSE of a week. recently a not untypca week, the people of Europe and Asia were fed the fol- lowing facts about the United States
 That the aim of the United States is to capture key political and strategic positions in Europe"
 That the United States is launching race in arma- ments ":'
 That the Turkish army is secretly being by Amer ican and British agents.
 That General Marshall in his recent radio address, did not tell the truth about the Moscow conference
 That the United States is making colony out of the Philippines.
 That the income of American workers has declined by 50 per and that thousands American families are dwelling in old wagons and deserted military billets That American policy in the Far East one of world conquest"
 That the United States heading directly into se- depression.
 That the presence of American warships in the Med iterranean that "he United States has decided to resort to threats of violence"
 That the great majority of Americans strongly op posed to the Truman policy with respect to Greece and Turkey. That American policy in Germany aims to bring about an mperalist peace based on the enslavement of nations"
 That is the picture of America which the people of Europe and Asia got if they listened to radio broadcast from Russia and Russian-domnated areas in eastern Europe in the course of one week.
 It is the picture which they have been getting of America over period of many months. The purpose, obviously is to denigrate the United States picions to this cOuntrys motives create fears its aims. ..ft .-t.r nrtsftFr,4. }' 1 Can afford to be complacent about this anti Amer ican propagandist campaign, sit back and assume that the untruths, haftruths and exaggeratons will do harm since WE know they wide of the mark.
 That to be the attitude of large number of the House of Representatives, judging by the action that has been taken in wpng out the appropriation needed to continue the state departments information program.
 We have spent billions in relief for foreign countries The House itself has just approved the Senate did earlier an appropriation of 400 million dollars to aid Greece and Turkey
 It is in defiance of all logic and to ap- propriate that money and at the time the small appropriation needed to present the world true picture of America.
 Such an information program is needed not merely to combat the vicious antiAmerican propaganda with which many being assaled in many coun- tries of the world It is needed to hold up the world undistorted mirror of American events American thought, American policies.
 To slight extent this essential task is being done by private agencies and individuals But there is vast which private enterprise cannot and does not reach in this battle for mems minds

walkouts. To a degree, these means have bettered the lot of American workers. Circumstances have forced paths of action.
 In some cases, inconsiderate employers have worked hardships upon employees. In all fields of endeavor there are persons and groups oblivious of anything save their own inteersts. Often these few must be budged from their positions. It would be folly to say that workers rights never need protection. But likewise foolish to draw a hard and fast dividing line representing employers as ex- ploiters and unions as benefactors. Wage Paradox
 One fact which forms the key stone of the exploitation" thought trend is the huge increases in wages of labor during the past 25 years. Union groups point to this as the hard-won booty of a con- tinuous war with greedy em- ployer army. True, wages during this period have skyrocketed to levels unthought of in 1919. But, surprisingly enough, there has been no incerase in labor's share from the income of industry dur ing this period.
 Actually, the share of labor out of the income of industry has not risen or fallen measurably during that time. It has been steady re- gardless of the ups and downs of unions. In 1909 among manufac- turing industries g per cent of em- ployees were unioniZed. In l945 the total was 45 per cent. How ever, during this period the wage earners' portion of the gross value of manufactured products remain ed almost stationary - about l6 per cent. Production Regulates Wages
 Production makes the differ l ence. Workers were wretchedly paid a century ago. They were paid, however, in the same pro- portion to what they produced as our workers today. Wage earners can get only a definite share of what industry produces. When a mans productivity is low, his pay must inevitably be low. When his output is increased, he benefits by higher pay. A larger income to in- dustry means the workers share is larger.
 Production per man hour in creased greatly in the last cen- tury. The workman's pay jumped. This increase came about through investment by American people in those factors which would raise
 production. Superior plants and better tools were setup for lars- CT production and higher income. Some of the most important fac tors that bettered labor's position !; were contributed by the employ CTS and investors-the so-called "exploiters." r Tools Make Raises
 Tools decide between high and low production. Production makes 1 the difference between high and
The Nome nugget., 1947-06-11
Tools Make Raises

AOOAD A'@oAS AeoseSS
 Tools decide between high and low production. Production makes the difference between high and low wages. Tn free competitive market, business survival depends upon efficient production by using more and better tools. It is not hard to recognize the high wages of Americas workmen today as the logical offspring of society which encourages competition and individual initiative.
 By continuing to give business initiative the go-ahead signal. we are setting the stage for greater gains and benefits to labor. By permitting too much power to fall into the hands of irresponsible union groups and government bureaus, we are defeating our own purposes. Brains, precipitation, and initiative given free rein in democratic society represent the only real approach to workable Utopia.
