INCOME TAX CUTTING BILL INTR0DUC
Delegate Bartlett Opposed
 10 Large Reservations in
 Alaska for Use of Indians

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18-lR- Delegate Bartlett of Alaska said today he is against establishment of large reservations i'll Alaska for the exclusive use of Indians and added that in his opinion the Wheeler Howard Act of 1886 never was intended to permit such prac- tices.
 In a letter to Mrs, Josephine Peele, president of Camp IA of the Alaska Native Sisterhood at Ketch- ikan, Alaska, he said he will dc everything he can to get a final settlement of aboriginal rights in the Territory.
 Mrs. Peele had asked him to op- pose enactment of a bill by Sena- ter Butler (R-Nebl, chairman of the Senate Public Lands Commit tee, to take away from the In- terior Department the right to es- i tablish Indian reservations in the Territory and to cancel those al- ready established
 Bartlett said that as long as he is in Congress he will actively op- pose any movement intended to deprive Alaskan Indians of fair and impartial hearings on their claims.
 The delegate said he believed es- tablishment of Indian reservations means more and more government control and less and less individual initiative and right"
 With reference to the Indians Of Southeast Alaska he said, T maintain that our economic re- sources are sufficiently great to permit them to gain better liv- ing than they now can without resorting to a system which cer- tainly has not been a shining sue cess in the states. Admittedly, the Indians in the states were oft times placed on the least desir- able and productive lands and that is one reasen for their inability to prosper"

PROPAGANDA OF RUSSIA SPLIT MEET
British Foreign Secretary Bevin Makes Charges
 Against Soviets
By ALEX SINGLETON

LONDON, Dec. Is. = tR-BrltlSh Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin said today Russias hostile propaganda during the London Conference of the Big Four Foreign Ministers Council had made it impossible to get to grips with the fundamental principles involved.'
 In a formal report to the House of Commons, Bevin also charged that Soviet opposition to participa- ton by her neighboring countries in the Marshall Plan lis violating the free choice of free states and IS an interference with their independ- ence and sovereignty
 Just as he told Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov himself near the close of the talks Monday, Bevln reported to the House that we were met with a number of long speeches and unjustified and false accusa- tions"
 Bevin said unfortunately, ever since it's creation" the council has alternated between carrying out it's original purpose of drafting treaties for submission to peace conference and being used for entirely differ ent purposes"
 There is no doubt that this has created despondency in the world" Bevin said.
 He asserted that any government to be set up in Germany must be representative "and not a tool in the hands of the occupying powers. :"
 In discussing separations - the immediate issue upon which the conference collapsed - Bevin said that the Western Powers could not be expected to commit themselves without having all the facts on the Russian zone of occupation.

Water Soaked Rice Swell ing Against Cracked Hull
 4 Ships Rush to Aid

HONOLULU, Dec. 18.-lR- The freighter Simon Benson was breaking up in heavy midPacific seas today with her cargo of water soaked rice swelling against the cracking hull. Four vessels were speeding to her aid.
 The Benson's crew of about 45 began jettisoning the sacked rice and her skipper radioed he had turned the stricken vessel head-on into the waves in an effort to diminish the buffeting The Liberty ship-a wartime troop transport was about l,40O miles north-north- west of Honolulu
 Steaming to the Benson's aid were the Army hospital ship Com fort, Coast Guard Cutter Iroquois, the Navy tug Tekesta and the SS Henry Austin.
 Comfort Is Near
 The Comfort radioed she was about 30 hours away from the Benson after turning back on her inbound trip from Yokohama to San Francisco The Coast Guard reported that the Tekesta had left Dutch Harbor with orders to tow the stricken vessel to Adak in the Aleutians, but that it might take three days for the tug to reach the Benson because of rough seas.
 The Henry Austin was reported 150 miles from the Benson, appar- ently the least distant.
 The Cutter Iroquois departed from Honolulu late last night in such haste that at least four Of her crew members were left ashore. It is estimated the cutter would require about 70 hours to reach the Benson.
 Ship May Blow Open
 A Coast Guard officer here said the rice cargo of the Benson may blow the ship wide open" if it swells appreciably. An earlier dis tress call from the Benson had in dicated only that she was breaking across the deck but was proceeding toward Honolulu.
 The Coast Guard indicated the Iroquois would require 72 hours to reach the distressed ship, but said two other vessels were within one days steaming and could be call ed if needed.
 The Benson, of 7,176 gross tons, is operated by Sudden and Chris jensen, Inc, out of Portland, Ore.

SEATTLE VISITOR
The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON One of the most well-meaning but left-handeo of American Ambassadors IS the big St. Paul shipbuilder, Bob But Ter, U. s. envoy to Australia. ALSO he is one of the unhappiest. In fact, he is so unhappy that ne would be quite willing to swap posts and become U. s. envoy to the Court of St. James. Failing this, he would even compromise TOT Mexico City or Havana.
 Ambassador Butler is unhappy because diplomacy just ain't what it's cracked up to beat least not for him, in Australia. In short, he finds it without fanfare or gilt ter, even just plain dcwdy and dull.
 And thereby hangs a sad, sad story of an American businessman turned loose in the Elysin fields of diplomacy, desperately trying to make a boring job unboring. His efforts to dress up the job have been Herculean-but to no avail.
 One of his first was to decree that The Star-Spangled Banner be played by Embassy loudspeakers every morninng at sunrise in Can berra. The idea sent shivers down the spine of career diplomat H. Earle Russell Not only does the diplomatic game require late sleep

MILLIONS 10 BE GUT FROM
 PAYING TAX
Over Billion Dollars Would Be Stricken from Gov-

By FRANCIS M. LEMAY

! WASHINGTON, Dec 18. - P - A S5,600, 100000 income tax cutting bill which would strike 7,400,0 low income and elderly persons from the tax rolls was introduced today by Rep. Knutson tR -Minn)
 For the 4700O,00o other taxpayers the measure, referred to by it's author, as veto proof" proposes tax reductions ranging from 58 per cent in the lowest bracket to 10 per cent on higher incomes.
 Knutson Chairman of the tax writing House Ways and Means Committee, said he expects the bill to be the first major business when Congress reconvenes in January. The reductions would be retroactive to January 1.
 They would slash tax revenues by Sl600,0000 900 more than the S4,- O0000O,000 Knutson measure which President Truman twice killed with FCtOID Cfll tlti llllN NGdI.
 New Bill Proposals
 Here is what the new oil would do
 l. ..leerase the present $500 per- sonal exemption to $500. thus freeing 6,000000 low income persons from tax paying and providing some re- ductions for all other taxpayers. This would reduce revenues by about $2 GOO 900, ,000
 9 Apply the community prop erty" principle to all States, per- hitting married couples to split the family income equally for tax re- porting purposes in order to take advantage of lower surtax brackets This principle now is applicable in a dozen States by local law. Gen. eral application would cost the treasury about S600,000 900.
 Community Property
 3. Provide, in addition to the $l00 added exemption and community property" split, 10 to 30 per cent graduated reductions as follows.
 A. 30 per cent for those with in- comes after deductions and exemp- tions not exceeding $1.000. There are 9,200 taxpayers in this group.
 B. 30 to 20 per cent. on sliding scale, for those with taxable incomes between sl,000 and $l,396 This would affect 14.500000 persons.
 c. 20 per cent for those with in- comes between S1,396 and s4,000. There are 9,l00000 such taxpayers.
 D. 20 per cent on the first s4.000 of taxable income for all others plus 10 per cent of the tax applicable to the remainder of their income. There are l,70o,00o taxpayers in this group.
