TAX BILL VETO DUE
 ON FRIDAY
President Will Reject Leg isIation Same as He Did
 Previous Measure

WASHINGTON, July l5.-tRT The White House said today. Presi- dent Truman's message vetoing the new S4,000. 100000 income tax re- duction bill will be sent to congress this week-probably on Friday
 In advance of final congressional action on the Republican measure, MT. Truman had given notice that he intended to reject it as he had a previous similar till. He also gave assurances that the veto would be forthcoming promptly after he re- ceived the legislation.
 Press Secretary Charles G. Ross, in discussing plans for the veto message, told reporters that the bill is expected to reach the White House some time during the day
 The possibility of putting the bill into law over MT. Truman's veto has virtually disappeared despite the 60 to 32 vote by which it pass ed the Senate yesterday. Although this gave the tax cut advocates a 28-vote margin, it fell two votes shy of the two-thirds needed to override Presidential rejection.

WASHINGTON. July l5.-tR- A Senate Small Business Subcom- mittee voted today to visit Alaska to study the possibilities of pro duc!ng newsprint from timber on government owned lands in the Territory.

 In statement issued after closed meeting, Capehart said, the committee agreed to invite the In- terior, Agriculture and Justice De- partments to send representatives and to invite publishers and others interested in the problem to make the trip. They would pay their own expenses.
 The Committee has been studying ways of easing shortage of news print-the paper used in printing newspapers. Capehart said an end to the scarcity is not expected in the foreseeable future and the "long-range solution to the problem neccssitates the investigation of in- creased production potentials.'
 We are convinced that Alaska can play an important part in such program ne added.

PITTSBURGH, July l5.-lR-Soft coal production increased today and so did soft coal prices.
 Walter R. Thurmond, Secretary of the Southern Coal Producers Asso- ciation, said consumers will be re- quired to pay about $800,000,0 900 ad- ditional during the next 12 months. :"
 Thurmond said the recent $l.20- a-day wage increase granted to John L. Lewis AFL-United Mine Workers will cost tthe operators) more than $125 ton. so coal will sell at the mines from $l.25 to Sl50 higher at once"
 However, Lewis said in an editor ial in the UNIV Journal that in creased cost to consumers of coal and other products would be in finitesimal."
 The Journal estimated the new contract added only 65 to CT cents to the cost of producing ton of soft coal.
 Anthracite prices were also ex- pected to rise-about 70 cents ton-because of the Lewis-won wage hikes.

Says New UNIV Contract Will Aid Production,
 Against Initiation

WASHINGTON, July 15.-R- George M Humphrey, Pittsburgh coal and steel executive, said today the new coal wage contract will do more to stabilize the economy and retard inflation' than settlement of any controversy in the industry in several years.
 Humphrey, who played a major role ln negotiation of the agree ment with John L. Lewis United Mine Workers, told the joint Con- gressional Committee on the econ cmic report that the contract will spur output of coal, and added:
 Production and only production which creates a balance of supply and demand is the only sure cure for the increasing wage and price spiral"
 Humphrey said the contract re- tards inflaticn "by avoiding a strike and all of the resulting damage that would surely follow from dead- lock-
 Humphrey testified after Earl Bunting, President of the National Association of Manufacturers, told the committee that the nation should be able to absorb this years second round' wage without going on an inflationary spree.

NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR TOURISTS ON
 ALASKAN VESSELS
Businessmen, Resid ents Occupy Much of Avail
 able Room on 4 Ships

SEATTLE, July 15.-lR-Only one thing is holding back the ocean, tourist travel between Seattle and Alaska and that is lack of steam ship space for passengers.
 Officials of the Alaska Steamship Company and the Northland Trans portation Company said that all passenger r-carrying ships are leav- ing Seattle this summer with all accommodations taken and with tourists clamoring unsuccessfully icr chance to go north.
 The total number of tourists, however, is less than it was before the war, since only four ships in the Alaska trade carry passengers now, compared with l3 before the war
 Three of the passenger carrying vessels-the Aleutian. the Baranof and the Denali-are operated by the Alaska Steamship Company. They have a total capacity of something over HOO passengers. 'ihe steam ship Alaska, operated by the North land Transportation Company, car ries 204 passengers.
 Several ships which carried pas sengers to Alaska before the war were sunk after Pearl Harbor and others went into other services.
 With the accommodations for passengers decreased, larger pro- portion of the space available is used by Alaskans or other persons travelling on business, further cut ting down the space for tourists.

 Current Fiscal Year

WASHINGTON, July 15.-IR- The House passed and sent to the Senate today compromise bill giv- ing the Navy $3,433 ,046, 100 in cash appropriations for the current fis- cal year.

WOULD OPEN DEVELOPMENT
 OF PULP MILLS
Measure Now Goes to U. 5. Senate for Ifs
 Consideration

! WASHINGTON. July l5.--lR-- The House of Representatives has 1 passed House Joint Resolution 205, legislation which permits the De-
 partment of Agriculture to sell tim
 Der from the Tongass National For
 est in Southeast Alaska, and the measure now goes to the Senate. However, an almost identical bill was acted upon favorably by Sem
 ate committee July 3 and it is be-
 lieved that the Senate will adopt
 the House resolution, perhaps with
 out reference to committee.
 The bill, in addition to authoriz-
 ing future timber sales, validates
 timber sale contracts previously
 made by the Forest Service with
 private lumbermen
 The legislation, if approved by the Senate, would open the way
 this year for at least two huge pulp and paper concerns who have immediate plans for building plants in Alaska, one near Ketchikan and
 one near Petersburg. The invest
 ments for each mill might run as high as s30,000,O0o
 Support Six Mills Secretary of the Interior Julius
 A. Krug recently testified that Southeast Alaska could support six
 such mills on perpetual basis, each employing 1000 workers, but
 supporting towns of l2,00o pop i ulation.
 ! It is estimated that if work could Ee started on the mills at once. it would take three years to build each mill This would mean the employment of many in construc- i, ton almost at once even though the mills would not go into pro duction until 1850 or 1851. Under contracts proposed by the Forest Service and said to be ac- ceptable by the industry, a 50-year
 contract would be drawn up with the stumpage price agreed upon in the beginning standing for 10 years
 to be reopened for adjustment at
 the end of that period and every
 five years thereafter. Cutting would be under Forest Service
 supervision to insure a perpetual
 supply. It is estimated that each mill could produce GOO tons a day. The pulp operator, with the CO., operation of the Interior Depart ment, could obtain title to the land on which the mill is located and the surrounding town. The pulp
 operators also would be required to
 recruit labor from Southeast Alaska as far as practicable.
 Indians Protected Under HJR 2O5, money taken from the sale of timber would be placed in a special fund to be
 held until the final determination of Indian claims to much of the land involved.
 The legislation was opposed by a delegation of Indians from South east Alaska, three of them mem
 bers of the Territorial Legislature: Senator Frank Peratrovich. Reps. Frank Johnson and Andrew Hope. and Fred Grant of Hydab1rg. The Indians had demanded that 10 per- cent of the funds from the timber
 sales be paid to them immediately
 because their claims have been recognized by the Interior Depart ment. This stand was supported |, by Alaskan Delegate E. |. Bart | lett until efforts for such com
 promise failed, after which he threw
 his full support to the present <. leSgislatiOn
