U.5., RUSSIA
 SPLIT OVER
 JAP PEACE
Disagreement Threatens to Destroy Unity of
 Great Powers
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON, July 24.-R-A new split between the United States and Russia-this time over draft ing Japanese peace treaty threatens today to destroy what little unity remains between the two great powers.
 Another prospect is that it may delay indefinitely work on a peace settlement for Japan.
 Up to this week there had been considerable hope that Washing ton and Moscow would be able to devise some means for fashioning the Japanese treaty which would eliminate many of the frictions that have beset peace making in Europe.
 Russias rejection yesterday of American proposals along this line greatly dimmed, if it did not kill off, these hopes.
 Some officials said the major question now facing the American and other governments interested in early progress on the Far East peace settlement is whether they should go ahead with separate peace" - that is, treaty without Russia.

SAYS ALASKA
 | SHIP SERVICE IS OBSOLETE
FIakne Describes Ancient Equipment, Urges Govt.
 to Build New Ships

WASHINGTON, July 24. Rl- Joseph T. Flakne told the House Merchant Marine Committee today that sea service to Alaska is "so poor" and the ships "so obsolete , that costs are bound to be high" The committee is considering means of lowering Alaska freight rates and improving the service. Flakne, chief of the Alaska Branch
 of the Division of Territories, said he believes the Maritime Commis- sion should build special ships for
 the Alaskan trade and sell them to private operators at low costs. Rep. Wills Bradley (R.-Calif) said , that we are all sympathetic and
 know your needs, but it all comes back to the United States putting up the money"
 When Flakne described one ship
 as being so antiquated that the
 crew had to try six different times to dock her in an Alaskan port, 1, Bradley, former Navy Captain, ob- ! served:
 T think you should get competent seamen instead of different ships.
 I never saw ship on the seas all
 over the word that good man can-
 not handle" George Talmadge of
 the Maritime Commission said that lifting restrictions against Canadian vessels would provide somewhat cheaper service" He added. But this might defeat its own ! purpose because Canadian ships might just go into the profitable trade area and leave the less profit {, able to American ships. The costs {, of the latter then would be even higher"
 , He said lower operating costs of Canadian vessels were due in part to lower pay for their crews.

REHABILITATION OF
 ALASKA R. K. WILL BE STAGGERING JOB

FAIRBANKS. Alaska, July 24.-tR --Alaska's Seward d-to- Fairbanks railroad line was compared yester- day by the wartime head of the Army railway service to rotten and demolished railroads" the American Armed Forces found when they started moving wartime freight in Italy, Germany and Iran.

.5.S. TAX BILL IS
 APPROVED BY LOWER HOUSE
Senate Approval Expected To oFreeze al i Per Cent
 for Next Two Years

WASHINGTON, July 24-tR- The House quickly approved with out opposition today compromise bill freezing the social security payroll tax at one percent for an- other two years.
 Speedy Senate action is expected to send the measure to President Truman for signature, thus fore stalling a S2,OOO, 100000 increase in the tax Jan. l.
 The House voted shortly after House and Senate conferees broke a deadlock on conflicting versions Of the bill. Without the freeze" action, the tax would automatically go up from one percent to 2.5 per- cent on employees pay and en- ployers' payrolls.
 The compromise provides that the levy-imposed to pay old age and survivors insurance-will in- crease to IS percent in 1850 and to two percent in 1852.

HOPE FOR ALASKA
 TIMBER BILL
Time Is Too Short : Two Senators Against
 Measure

Hopes for the passage of the an- i important timber legislation at this session of Congress were dim med today upon receipts by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce of telegram from Juneau represen- tative Norman Banfield, now. in Washington.
 Banfield reported that objections by Senators Chavez of New Mex ico and OMahoney of Wyoming to the passage of the measure on the consent calendar in the Sem ate probably will spell doom for the legislation.
 Our Senator friends" Banfield reported, "are attempting to put the resolution to vote by special request to majority leaders. but this seems a remote possibility of success because hundreds of inn portant measures must wait until next January because of the press of time, and other Senators would resent such special c0nSlderatlon.
 Banfield said that Senators Chavez and O'Mahoney claimed Alaska Indians would be dipos- sessed of, home and farms. even though the legislation specifically limits the timber sales to vacant and unappropriated lands, and they know this" but refuse even to discuss the merits of the reso- lution with other senators because Indian representatives have re- quested them to kill the bill.
 Former Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes had long editor ial in the Washington Star on the subject, Banfield reported.

WASHINGTON Bull-headed Ways and Means Chairman Harold Knutsori, who has habit of act ing first and consulting his Con- mittee afterward, recently stepped out too far. Without word to the Committee or authorization from anyone, he appointed special tax study group. largely composed of Wall Street lobbyists, and gener- cusiy promised that the Govern ment would pay all their expenses.
 But at closed-door meeting the other day. the bumbling Minneso- tan awkwardly begged the Com mittee's forgiveness.

 Then he asked the Committee to approve resolutions belatedly au- thorizing both his appointments to the tax-study group. and $25,00O Tor their expenses A few stubborn Democrats, however long annoyed over Knutson's arbitrary manner baked
