There have been many instances of late where other motives-f they existed-have been darkly hidden But in the case of Palestine it would seem that Russia had much to gain by supporting the Arabs opposition to partition Had the Krenlin simply re- maned silent on the issues, the democracies par tcuarly the United States and Brtain-would have been placed in most delicate position Outright back
 ing of the Arab probably would have brought to Russia some valuable political strength from Arab nations in the Middle East probably would have added material advantages in the way of oil and trade con- sessions These concessions in the main are held by British and U S interests.
 There are othei ways in which the Reds could have benefited by refusing to accept the partition way to the Mediterranean has been Russian ambi- plan For centuries control of the Dardanelles gate ton. Today, with her plans for expansion, Medl- terranean outlet is important Turkey, long satellite of Britain, holds the channel-and Turkey has been sympathetic coward the Arabs in Palss tine. Opposition to partition would have won for the Communists considerable support among the rank and file of the Turkish people
 The Russian action throws much weight behind the partition plan that the weak Arab states prob ably will not pursue seriously any military opposition to it. Russian refusal would have encouraged such opposition not only in Palestine but throughout the Middle East and into the Near East where mil lions of Arabs are living Military activity on the part of these people would have forced increased military activity on Britain and America Britain, now distressed, hardly could have afforded such increased expenditures
 Stalin recognized each of these advantages when he made his decision. Perhaps he saw others, even more impressive which won him to the side he chose These things cannot definitely know For the mo- ment at least we can be encouraged by this single point of agreement between two political deaologleS which, for many months have been growing farther and farther apart We hope that, in this action are the seeds from which may better feeling and a permanent peace.

HINDER THE DOME

With one or two exceptions, the Congressmen who went to Europe to study conditions last summer have come back feeling just about the same toward helping Europe as when they left. Whether originally for it or against it, they were able to convince themselves that they were right.
 Although September is usually the month when cattle eat best, Rep. Bob Poage of Texas saw Nor wegians feeding COWS from huge rolls of wood celluloSe. If they're eating paper now. can you imagine what theyl. be eating in the wln- ter?" Poage remarked. He was told that the cows that survive the winter in Norway will do it largely on dried fish What their milk will taste like is another question.

SENATOR WHERRY'S SON

One of the biggest economy cla- morers in Congress is COP Sena- tor Kenneth Whcrry of Nebraska, sometimes known as the merry mortician"
 The gentleman from Pawnee City, Neb., is always talking about saving money and how much he has contributed to such saving.
 However, Navy Department ex- perts estimate that it costs about s10,00O a year to rut boy through he Naval Academy. It is one of the most luxurious educations obtain able in the USA--free to the lucky ':oy who manages to get in.
 Economy minded Senator Wher- ". however, didn't mind getting his son an appointment to Annapolis md then, after the Government had invested s2O,0OO in two years of LIS education, letting his son drop Ut.

LOBBY INVESTIGATION

There is report that the Department of Justlce is undertaking an investigation of lobbyists in Wash- ington Suspicious have been voiced that some lobby sts have not compiled the terms of the Loooylne Act of 1e46 If the law has been evaded, certalnly the violators should be prosecuted
 The Lobbying Act is not designed to prevent any citizen or group of citizens from bringing pressure on legislators nor does it apply to persons who conne their lobbying to open and frank appearances before committees of Congress It does apply to persons who collect money to initiate or influence the course Of national legislation The law requires registration o these lobbyists and the filing of information showing how much they are paid, the source of funds, etc The basic purpose of the law to bring the lobbying out in the open not to deny anyone the right to lobby which is one of our constitutional liberties
 It is doubtful if the investigation will reveal anything startling. But if the Justice Department really wanted to uncover something it could well look into the lobbying that has been carried on by Federal officials using public funds to stir up sentiment Tor or against legislative measures This is common practice in Alaska. We even have complete oe- nartment devoted to the task of swinging votes and influencing legislation the Development Board Neither has it been uncommon during legislative sessions for administrative heads to dispatch wires throughout the Territory soliciting support or con- demnation for particular legislation.
 It is probably too much to expect the Justice Department to do anything about this type of lobby which is more of a threat to democratic government than the other.

much for the big miners pride.
 AS Scrappy Lynch of the AFL Pattern Makers Union expressed it:
 John L. never pays money into anything he can't boss. Not for long He broke with the New Deal when he found he couldn't control FDR with miners funds
 And unless l miss my guess" continued Lynch, Lewis won't con- tinue paying per-capita dues to the AFL after that licking he got in San Francisco.
 Lewis is sore at practically ev- erybody in top AFL councils, in cluding his erstWhile crony, Bill Hutcheson, the carpenters boss, who deserted him in the crucial battle over Lewis stubborn refusal to sign a Communist disclaimer on behalf of his union.
 The miners boss went to San Francisco intending to demand a roll call on thls issue, but changed lally support from Hutcheson and others.
 Lews accuses Dan Tobin, astute president of the Teamsters' Union, of being the chief factor in his downfall. Real fact is, however, that all the leaders, big and little, were fed up with the mine boss's bulldozing. with the exception of Max Burns of the paper workers and Philip Randolph of the Pull man porters They supported Lewis down the line. Tobin's main effort against Lewis was on the question of whether the . mine leader should remain on the AFL Executive Council Tobin hit the ceiling when he heard that AFL President Bill Green had been trying to persuade Lewis not to quit
 If he's sore and wants to quit let him quit" Tobin angrily in- formed Green. T want harmony myself, but not if we have to crawl on our knees to get it. There will be no more of this catering tc Lewis, if you want my support"
 That ended that, and probably will mean that Lewis walks again

By jones MARROW
Associated Press Stoff Writer
Eighth of q Series OF ~

The pay Of enlisted men In the
armed services is tax free. Don't
report 1t. It's tax free dating back
to January /, 1o41. It will remain so
until the war oficially has been de-
clared over.
II you've paid any tax on enlisted
pay since 1s41, ask the Internal
Revenue collector for a refund. Do
so on form 843.
Any enlisted man who received.
$500 or more civilian income in those
years going back to 1941 must file a
return on it. just as any civilian
would have to do.
There's difference with commits
stoned officers:
The first $500 Of their service pay
Is tax free dating back to January !,
1943, and doesn't have to be reported.
With that first 1900 tax free, they
don't have to report any additional
service pay unless 1t Is $500 or more.
Example O6ered.
SO commissioned officers don't
have to file return on their service
pay unless 1t was more than 81
999,99. For example:
An officer received $1,000 service
pay and 500 civilian income from
dividends on stocks. He forgets the
first $500 Of service pay but must
report the next $400, plus the 500 in
dividends, since the total income
over $500 was $500.
+ Here is tax-exen1pt Government
pay-which doesn't have to be re-
portfolio servicemen, veterans and
their families:
Federal mastering out pay; State
bonuses to veterans; all benefits
under the CT Bill of Rights, such as
for education and subsistence; ter
minal pay; Government contribu-
tions to family allowances and to
dependents: disability pay; disabil-
ity retirement pay for service
connected disability; allowances for
uniforms, substance, travelling,
quarters; pensions to veterans or
their families for war services.
Further Check Urged.
Check further-if you must file a
return-on the various items a
serviceman can deduct or need not
report.
Here's a point for a serviceman's
wife to remember:
If her husband, because his serv-
ice pay is all exempt, is not filing
return but she is, because she has
civilian income of $500 or more, she
can claim him as an exemption.
Here's another point:
Suppose you, parent, support a
daughter who's husband is in service
and who sends her some Of his
service pay.
Can you, In making your return,
claim her as dependent? Yes, 30
