Walker In Support of
 Income Tax
Ket(hikan Reports Senfi- menf for Special Ses-
 sion Growing

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Dec. 20.- iR-Territorial Senator Norman R. Walker today offered to stake his political future on his ability to get the Legislature to adopt a net in- come tax if special session is called before the l948 primary election.
 Stating he had written promises of support from Senators Joe Green and L. P. Dawes, who opposed the income tax bill which Walker and Senator Vic Rivers of Anchorage sponsored at the last session, Walker said he would not run for office again if unable to get the measure passed.
 Meanwhile. the demand for a special session of the Legislature, is growing here with the prospect that several groups will wait on the Gov ernor regarding the matter here next week. The local teachers as- sociation has endorsed a special session and has asked Supt. of Schools J. E. Danielson to request it.
 Several labor groups are preparing similar requests and local news paper has suggested that a special session could transfer back to the general fund of the treasury part of the S350,000 loaned to the Alaska veterans agency by the special ses- sion two years ago to pay the im- mediate bills.
 Walker also has wired to Com missioner of Taxation M. P. Null laney to see whether enough gas tax revenue is on hand to borrow some of that to pay for a special session and keep the payroll oper- ating until net income taxes are available through withholding.
 Walker agreed with an editorial in a Ketchikan newspaper that cities must be given rebate from gas taxes to keep up their streets and said the formua of payment should be on population and cost of street upkeep Walker said he also favors up to a $25,000 fund for the statehood fight. especially since Congress then might extend to Alaska full authority to issue bonds or tax anticipatory warrants to avoid future emergencies.

SOMETHING
 TO HAPPEN
 RIGHT SOON
Anderson 10 Give List of About 14,OO0 Spetu-
 Iators in Commodities

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. - tR - Secretary of Agriculture Anderson today prepared to make public on a let the chips fall where they may basis a list of some l400J specu- lators in such commodities as wheat, corn and butter.
 Backed by a Congressional reso- lution bearing President Truman's signature, Anderson told Agricul- ture Department workers to get the names together as quickly as pos sible and said he may be able to give them out within the next week.
 He already had made it plain that the list will include the names of Congressmen, if any, as well as officials in the government execu- tive department, if any, who have fattened their bank accounts by large-scale gambling in commodities during the upsurge in the cost of living.
 Washington interest was whetted by the fact that Anderson himself, during a speech Oct. g in Chicago denouncing spectators. said he could name names" and that some of them are public figures"
 This was followed by Republican demands that. he hand over to Con- gress the names of any government officials who might have used in- side information to play the com- modity markets. Anderson insisted on getting formal authorization from Congress first.
 He said the Commodity and Ex- change Act required him to keep confidential the information he regularly receives on large scale transactions, involving for instance 100000 bushels or more of grain, 1000 tons of feed or 25 carloads of butter, and other data obtained in occasional spot checks of commodity exchange records.
 After an unsuccessful attempt by the Senate Appropriations Commit tee to get the list by subpoenaing Anderson Thursday, the Senate passed the resolution he asked.
 The House followed suit yesterday and President Truman promptly signed it.
 Anderson said identifications on the speculator list will be checked closely to avoid mistakenly listing persons with similar names who are not in the market.

 Over Christmas Dole

ROME. Dec 20.+R-A nation wide strike began in Italy's food industries and violence broke out over a Christmas dole among Ma pies jobless today, even as Pope Plus XII warned in a Holy Week message that class hatred threat sned the very foundation of the nation.
 Indications were that the food strike latest leftist-led labor cri- sis to harass the newly reshuffled Christian Democratic government Of Premier Alcide De Gasperi, night be settled by nightfall
 But in Naples five persons three of them policemen, were wounded n rioting and gunire touched off when an unemployment office handed out Christmas doles to a crowd of jobless Some of the crowd argued they were being giv- en less than they were promised. Seth police and persons in the crowd used firearms. Reserves were called to restore order
 In Vatican City, the Pope issued l Christmas encyclical, "Optatiss- ma Pax" Most Desired Peace). Against a background of prolonged labor strife in Italy and France, it said.
 Those who. with a premeditated plan, thoughtlessly raise up the crowd, exciting it to tumult, to ssdftion and to offenses against he liberty of others, without a doubt do not operate to mitigate the poverty of the people, but ather increase it and provoke ex- treme ruin, aggravating hatred and lnterrupting the course of the works of urban life
 The Pontiff urged Catholics of he world to pray for peace.
 Italy's food strike-its second stoppage in nationwide industry n two months-was called after long efforts to reach solution failed.
