Did Roosevelt Give Alaska to Stalin?
(San Francisco Argonaut)

Alaska, where the New Deal and it's bureaucrats are marking their last stand is the biggest pool of untapped resources left to the American people. Under the cuse Of conservation, the lumber IS rotlng, but ServatOn is only SemantciSm for jobhOlding. Should Alaska, which has better claim to statehood than Ha- Wali be freed for private enterprise, 1t would fill up with people eager to supply East Asia and western North America With coal and lumber. There IS water power there to reduce pulp and relieve the paper short age largely caused by Russas cornering the Scandi navian supply.
 But Alaskans are worried The Russians are claiming Alaska and there IS more than suspicion that when Franklin D. Roosevelt making presents to Stan at Yalta he promised Alaska He probably agreed that the folly in Stewards purchase that Seward had not paid the Czar enough for the Territory However the Army fields in Alaska covered with planes and if they kept the alert 1t is unlikely that Russia will claim Alaska Certainly there would be less danger if Alaska invited to become State of the Union and not colonial possession of the Department of the h. terior, as it is
 There are 100000 Americans in Alaska but they have few rights. They not allowed to vote for the President of the United States
 But as John E. Manders, former Mayor of Anchorage said recently there three fundamental things which must be done if Alaska is to take it's place the forty ninth State
 G) An enabling act of Congress enabling the people of Alaska to form constitution and State government and to be admitted to the Union equal footing with all of the other States;
 "(2) The forming of State constitution in accord with American principles of government by con- stutona convention of elected Aaskans in session for that purpose; and
 "(3) Ratification of such constitution by at least majority of the qualified electors of Alaska
 Alaska has been Territory of the United States since 1867 Since that time the States of Nebraska Colo rado, South Dakota North Dakota, Washington, Mon- tana Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma Arizona and New Mexico have been admitted to statehood.
 The way to convince Russia, no matter what said during the cocktail parties at Teheran and Yata that Alaska is part of the United States is to let the Aer in Alaska enjoy the full rights of American citi Then, if Henry Agard Wallace should be- President of the United States, Alaska will not be given back to Siberians

 fcdera, gCve. nment gives up nuis- ance taxes in exchange for the exclusive right to tax incomes" An agreement between the states and federal government upon their respective fields of taxat;on surely would be desirable. Ger tain sources of tax revenue should be reserved to the states, thereby eliminating the overlapping winch results in double taxation
 Seven of the thirty-two Presi- dents of the United States have died in office, but no vice presi- dent, after succeeding to the pres idency, has died in office. So it is no experience of the , past, bat what may happen in the future, that explains the new succession law voted by congress on recon- mendation of President Truman. With the advent of atomic age and recognition of the possibility that in a future war the White House would be bomb target, it is pru- dent to make ample provision for Presidential succession. Under the new law succession after the vice president, will be through the speaker of the House, the presi- dent pro tenn of the Senate and then through members of the cabinet.
 No one should begrudge the coal miners the wage increase which John l.. Lewis squeezed out of the operators. What causes widespread worry is the fear this may touch off another inflation- ary price spiral. After all, the wage increase will come out of the pockets of the public, rather than the mine owners. Coal prices are expected to go up from 67 cents to SIPS ton. Iron Age has predicted an average increase of $5 ton in steel prices. That will advance prices on automobiles and steel products generally.
 There is one way to increase wages without boosting prices, that is by cutting taxes. Every tax reduction increases the takehome pay of American workers. It gives them the spending of more of the money they earn Without a fed eral tax cut, the miners will have to share their increased pay with Uncle Sam's tax collectors.
 There's considerable merit in former President Hoover's Sug- gestion that Congress, in revamp- ing federal tax laws, should diff ferentiate between learned and unearned" in come, and tax ac- cordingly As a general thing, it is reasonable to give tax payers some credit for learned income" AS Hoover points out, "the man who works for wages finds it difficult to build up savings account while a person receiving his live lihood from annuities, or similar income, usually is in a much bet ter financial position"
 How to avoid injustices in tax ing learned income" at a lower rate than income from invest ments, annuities, etc, is a diffi- cult problem, however. Take the case of people who have retired,

It's all part Of q unique pro-
gram of summer training for ex-

college lie thrown in-announced
recently by Dean Dudley D. Car
roll, of the University Of North
Carolina School of Commerce.
Operating through its bureau Of
business service and research and
the university extension division,
the school of commerce will offer
at least ten institutes of intensive
training between June 16 and
August 20. The institutes are
clearly set apart from the usual
business mems conference. The
University will throw open its
doors, even to providing dormitor-
les, and the Observation-Disclosures
will live much as regular students,
