It Happened in Georgia
Washington Post)

Mass jail breaks occur in all parts of the country wounded But the attempted escape of 27 Negro con- vcts from prison Brunswick Ga. resulting in the death wounding of l3 Negroes cannot be dis missed as just another planned escape followed by swift retrbution In the first place it happened in State that has acquired unenvable reputation for mistreatment of it's prison populations reputation that Georgia has neen trying to live down by i'm proving her penal institutions. There certain features of his particular indicating that it not ordinary jail break, but pancky stampede of prisoners facing punishment for aegedy refusing to work a road job. Whether the warden intoxicated, whether the guards opened fire with intent to kill questions that call for answers Clearly a searching impartial probe is required to determine the original causes of the outbreak and place responsibility for it's tragic outcome.
 coroner's investigation of the shootngs at which Association for the Advancement of Colored People were present has already been held and grand jury investigation is scheduled to begin soon. Here is proof if proof needed that Negroes, these who are social outcasts, longer without strong defenders that their rights respected in State where racial prejudices strong and the political machinery for maintenance of law and order conspicuously defective.
 Progress toward the goal of equal justice under the law is slow, but it does appear that progress is being made Striking evidence of public awareness of the problem afforded by the widespread publicity given to these Georgia shootings and the insisence upon a thoroughgoing investigation. When the facts are known Georgia will be answerable to an aroused public demand justice the basis of those findings regardless of where the onus may fall

cers. Today his Department of State is trying to win the battle of peace with some of the older and best-trained officers retired from the battlefield. The exit of Dean Acheson as Under Secretary of State, for instance, leaves a hole which cannot soon, if ever, be filled by Wall Street banker Bob Lovett, charming and likeable as he is.
 Training new men takes time. Training a new Secretary of State also takes time. And time today in the battle of peace is just as important as in the campaign Of war-just as important as the split seconds between an artillery bar rage and an infantry charge, or the crucial days wasted while sup ply trains bring up ammunition.
 Thus the time list between the exi. of Jimmie Byrnes and the education of George Marshall may have it's effect on history three or four years hence.

TAX OVERLAPPING

The problems growing out of the overlapping of Federal and State up for serious discussion at the recent annual conference of Governors.
 Governor Dewey of New York, with considerable support favors a gradual segregation of State and Federal taxes which would give the Federal govern ment exclusive right to levy income taxes and speci- fled excise taxes, but the State governments would have exclusive rights to levy other excise taxes
 For many years, tax experts have been urging reforms in our system which would eliminate such Feedra-State conflicts overlapping In the search for more tax money. often both governments tap the same sources
 Taxes by the Federal government on incomes already are the highest they have ever been, yet some in Alaska urge adoption of overlapping Territorial income tax.
 Dewey suggests that the Federal government withdraw from the field of taxing alcoholic beverages nheritances gasoline. luxuries and amusements. In return the States would abandon the personal and corporate income field to the Federal government
 Certainly something should be done to attempt to eliminate the evils of the existing uncoordnated systems.

Wages and Prices
(New York Times

On many occasions in the past high Admnistra- ton officials have recommended wage increases while insisting that no price changes should take place It has often appeared that they believed that such wage could be completely insulated from the price structure. In his Midyear Economic Report, however, President Truman admits that the recent wage increases have affected the price level He points out
 With the wage adjustments already made
 and those still needed in special wage areas,
 it follows that the patterns of workable price
 relations ultimately arrived at will be
 somewhat higher price level than would other
 wise have come about
 The President also suggests that wage increases should not be made a basis which forces price increases or PREVENTS PRICE REDUCTIONS needed to assure sale of increasing supplies Our captals) While recent wage increases have necessitaed some price increases for example, coal and electrical equipment) in most instances they have been ab- sorbed within the prevailing price structure The net effect has been to prevent price reductions which otherwise would have been possible Higher wages, therefore meant higher prices despite the many reassurances to the contrary.
 There is no fixed relationship between wages and prices But major upward adjustment in the wage structure such have witnessed since 1889 mu>5 necessarily have a permanent impact upon the price level These wage increases have meant sub stantial higher unit labor costs because productivity has increased much less rapidly and in instances has actually declined. At the time, they have meant substantially higher consumer incomes which made possible the sale of goods and services at the higher prices required to cover higher costs This substantial in wage rates represents one of the important reasons why return to the pre-war price level is improbable.

HIGH COMPLIMENT TO CAP

General Eisenhower Army Chief of Staff, paid high compliment and deserved to one of Alaska builders when he paused during a speech at Fair banks on his inspection Alaska military posts to pay tribute to Captain Austin E. Lathrop.
 General Ike described Lathrop representative of a man who had faith in an idea and place.
 "Alaskans enjoying many conveniences today which they would not now enjoy if he had not been living for the future Eisenhower stated.
 If all of the men who made good in Alaska had the faith in the Territory which Cap Lathrop has expressed his investments for the future, Alaskas future would indeed be bright.

CONCENTRATION

Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 10, 1947. Editor, Daily Alaska Empire, Juneau, Alaska.
 I have read carefully Mir. Ban fields report on Senate Bill POS, Alaska Pulp Measure, I fail to find any great difference between the Alaska Native Brotherhood speak ing for the Native people and those who advocated passage of this bill
 The bill No. 118, advocated put ting aside 10 percent of the funds from the sale of timber in spec ial fund in event the Alaska Ma tives won a suit against the Gov ernment. This the Alaska Native Brotherhood objected to and had to go to Washington, D. c. in per- son to object to this bill. On ar irving in Washington, D. C., the hearings on this matter were found to have been closed but Representative Frank G. Johnson was able through Republican con- nections to arrange that Senator Peratrovich, Representatives Hope and Johnson and Fred Grant Of Eydaberg be allowed to give voice for the Native people of this Dis trict, which I feel is certainly the proper way to conduct a matter of this importance with the result a bill was finally prepared that all lowed all the funds from the sale of timber in the Tongass Forests be set aside until the matter was settled as to Indian rights. I con- sider this fair if they win the suit they receive the full amount and not ten percent of the hold ings that have been sold and no redress.
 MT. Banfield lays stress on the fact that a bill allowing Puerto Rico to elect it's own Governor was passed on trade if the Pulp Bill POS, was also allowed to pass, this is indeed an odd procedure that the bill was not allowed to stand upon its own merits but had to be traded off for a governor ship for Puerto Rico.
 In any event no bill was passed to allow Alaska to vote for it's own Governor and that much we know so Puerto Rico can vote for its own Governor and Alaska has 8 prospect of pulp mill, but will continue to refuse it's people to vote for Governor which is a right that Puerto Rico has but not Alaska.
 As to the Lempke bill that will be more and more said about be- fore next December our people have not seen as I recall any pub lication of the bill that is before Congress The mere opposition of this bill without any of us even having read the bill is like going into blind alley, why not print the bill, it might be a good thing 1 for us to have more residents in the territory or it might not be advisable. At least let the Alas kans be the judge.

POSTMASTER BYRNES

Byrnes was postmaster at ne- gotiation. And his many jousts with Molotov at Moscow, London, Paris and New York had given him an instinctive feel for fc.elgn affairs. He did not have to lean on lis advi CTS He led and they followed.
 To some extent Marshall has had to reverse this. He has had to learn the ropes all over again, could not entirely pick things up where Byrnes left off, has had to lean heavily on advisers, and has lacked the experience to be able to challenge their decisions Sometimes the results have been .xcellent-as in the Marshall Plan where Marshall leaned heavily on able George Kennan and was wise enough to adopt his recommenda- tionS.
 But the results have not been good in Argentina and Latin Am erica. where the new Secretary has leaned on other advisers.
 Greatest setback the State De- partment has suffered is the exo- dus of top, trained personnel Here. the turnover has been so rapid that the oldest Assistant Secretary of State, in point of service, now is William Benton in charge of propaganda and cul- tural relations. in office less than two years.

They were jailed for violating veterans hous- ing preferences It wasn't re- ported in the papers, but another shooting incident" took place in the Capitol this one about 3 a. m. A sharp report echoed through the still, marble corridors, coming from the direction of a public rest room. Jumpy capitol police, re- membering Senator Bricker's re- cent encounter with a gunman, rushed to the scene with drawn pistols. Inside, they found a fluS- tered visitor struggling with a screen. With loud bang, he had kicked it to the floor.

 This fear has proved entirely unjustified. Marshall has leaned over backward to be civilian; he has run his department on civilian basis There can be no criticism of him on this score.
 Chief criticism of Marshall IS that he has lacked confidence in himself, therefore has moved too cautiously. Unfortunately he had to take over a field which-eX- cept for brief experience in China he was absolutely green. He had spent his life studying warlike matters; suddenly he was shifted to the. problems of peace.
 Therefore, Marshall has not nov ed with the same surefoo ,edness as Jimmy Byrnes.
