TERRITORIAL DEPT. HEADS CRITICIZED
 FOR SPENDING BEE
Didn CurtaiI as 0rdered- Financial Statement
 Being Explained

The Territorial Board of Admin istration today sent letter to all Territorial Boards, departments, commissions an institutions in which department heads were sev- erely criticized for not reducing expenses following the Boards or der of April T. The letter also ex- plsined the Territory's gloomy fi-
 nancial picture
 The Board reported that the Ter
 ritorial Treasury contained only S8,O00 in cash on hand July 3. It stated that the June payroll has
 been met in full plus the payment of $100,00O in other vouchers.
 Anticipated revenues expected to
 be received this month are liquor
 excise taxes accrued during the quarter ending June 30 which
 amounts to approximately S22o.oo0. The Board said that no substantial
 tax collections for the general treasury can be expected until next
 January when pack and other tax
 es are due.
 Current obligations, the Board re- ported, include a S70,000 per month
 summer payroll and school refunds due to incorporated cities amount-
 ing to Sl96,000 with tuition pay ments in the amount of $38667.0 .00. Vouchers for school refunds will be held up until after the quarter ending September 30 The Board
 announced that it is also taking steps sto obtain transfer of S35o,00o
 from the Veterans Fund to the
 general treasury. This is the amount originally loaned by the treasury to the Veterans Fund to get it started. The tranfer will take at least four months to com plete.
 Assurances were given by the Board that monthly payrolls will be met and old age pensions, etc, will continue to be paid. To do this, and meet other necessary op- erating expenses, the Board said
 that some things must wait. The Board stated the Board or der of April met the emergency in part by stopping new construc-
 ton, but the order did not result in any substantial reduction in the cost of ordinary departmental op- erations. Expenses for travel, equip ment, etc, have been going on as
 usual" The Board charged that
 there has been disposition to contract for new office equipment, etc, under the head of necessary administrative expenses.
 The Board pointed out that a contract for new typewriter, for example, would classify as one of the transactions which is prohib- tied by the Auditor, unless abso- lutely necessary. The same mea- sures also apply to vouchers for travel.
 Department heads were told to get permission from the Board ii confronted with a necessity which appears to be barred by the Board order
 The letter was signed by Terri torial Attorney General Ralph J Rivers, who is Secretary of the Board. He said we must tighten cur belts and keep administrative expense to a minimum for the time being

NOTICE GIVEN BYpRE5IDENT
 ON BILL N0.2
Special Session of Con- gress, or Trips, Not
 in Present Plans

WASHINGTON July 1O.-lH- President Truman gave advance mo- tice today that he intends to veto the new Republican-b backed bill to cut income taxes S4,000, 900, 900 an- nually effective Jan. l.
 He told a news conference that he sees no reason to change his attitude on tax reduction if Con- eress sends him the same bill he ve- toed several weeks ago.
 The new measure, which has cleared the House and is now before the Senate, is carbon copy of the previous bill except that the effec- tive date for the tax-cutting is six months late.
 On other domestic matters Mir. Truman said.
 l. He has no thought at this time of calling Congress back into special session this fall to consider European aid legislation. He added, however, that if necessity arises he will take whatever steps are neces- sary.
 Waiting On Par's
 2. He has no intention of sending a special message to Congress on Secretary of State MarshalPs plan for European economic recovery. He said he can not make recommenda- tions until after the Paris confer eaaoes an the .sseif-laeI3p; 5r6posal- 3. He has no plans now for a cross country trip this fall, as urg- cd by officers of the Democratic National Committee. Moreover, he added, he has no plans for trip anywhere.
 4. He still favors the proposed Missouri River Valley Authority patterned after the IVA, but said this would not take care of the immediate problem of food con- trol in the Midwest.
 Confer On DP Problem
 MT. Truman also said he would confer with Congressional leaders Monday, particularly about the pro- blem of displaced persons in Europe. He recently asked Congress to ad- init substantial number of these refugees to this country.
 On other matters:
 He said he saw no reason why Congress could not adjourn July 26, but added Congress understands that better than he and it is none of his business. He smiled as he added he does not intend to adjourn it himself.
 He has no intention of naming John R. SteGlman, his assistant as head of the new Consolidation Ser vice under the Taft-Hartley Labor Act.
 Incident Explained
 Asked about the disappearance of some papers from the Los Alamos atomic bomb, testing grounds in New Mexico. the President said he believed Senator Hickenlooper tR- Iowa. had clearly explained the in cident to the Senate yesterday and he is willing to accept that ex- planation.
 He had no comment on the new wage boosting contract between the United Mine Workers and the soft coal mine owners, saying that 1t was strictly a matter between the negotiators He also told a ques- tioner he dio not know of a gov ernment study of the contracts possible effect on prices. dater, however, he received a report on such a study from his economic advisory council.

The W aShington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON = The weather man may have some effect upon Secretary of State Marshalls for eign policy.
 For the past five years bumper American crops have permitted us to dominate the world food situa- tion-and thereby somewhat in- fluence it's politics. But now, bad weather at home plus good weather in Russia may partly reverse this situation.
 Although the American wheat crop will he a record-breaker oth- CT American grain crops are down. Unofficial studies of the world wheat situation made by the Agri- culture Department indicate that Russia's wheat crop also will be greater than ever.
 In fact, Russia, for the first time since before the war, should be able not only to end bread ra- tioning at home but export about 3OOOO0,O00 bushels of wheat abroad. The Russians also are expected to bring in a rye crop of some 84O,- 100000 bushels, which should give them surplus of about lo0'ooo,ooo bushels with which to play power politics.
 While this may somewhat affect the Marshall plan for aiding Eu- ropean countries which cooperate with the. Western European oloc, actually manufactured goods, par ticularly steel, still remain almost as important as fooc.

 Living in an area where marl- time rates have always been higher than elsewhere, Bartlett said in a statement in the Congressional Re- cord, "Alaskans had pretty well ad- justed themselves to a condition Of legalized plunder.

 Not Comprehend
 !" Iu this hope and this expecta- tion they simply diG not compre- nend the strength and the ruth lessness of their masters, the Se- attle operators of the steamship lines which serve the Territory"
 The Delegate reviewed the gov ernment's action in arranging an interim steamship service to Alaska with rates which he said were in creased 60 percent after the Seattle steamship lines refused to operate the service without the raise.
 He said. M -
 After making incredible wartime fits-incredible compared witt prewar earnings and incredible compared to their insignificant in- vestments in ships afloat, three Al aska carriers decided to try to per petuate those earning levels by crying. that they needed the stupendous increase of 1l8 percent over and above their prewar rates for postwar carrying between Se- attle and Alaska"
 Hearing Denied
 He recited that this plea was re- jected by the Maritime Commission and then Congress approved the interim plan which permitted the Martini e Com. to furnish ships at charter of $1 year to the companies, pay the insurance and recapture 75 percent of the profit after taxes, 10 percent on capital and insurance costs are deducted He described a protest by Alaska against the proposed rates and said the Commission denied the Territory a hearing because of threats by the companies to refuse the service il the rates were suspended pending a hearing.
 Now with the zealous protec- Uion of the Maritime Commission the carriers have one hand in the Federal Treasury for their capital costs" Bartlett said, and the other in the pockets of Alaska for $4,- 100000 more than they justly de- serve.''
 Owner Carrier
 Bartlett said, that the principal owner of two of the Alaska ship lines is a large scale fish canner.
 He has seen to it that he and his fellow canners will pay only a small part of the increases" Bart lett said. He does not have to jus tify rate for canned fish south bound from Kodiak to Seattle that is one half the rate for dry gro- ceries north-bound to Kodiak"
 Bartlett asked the House to keep .he Alaska situation in mind and said he feared that not much could be done to aid the Territory.

Chairman Garland s. Ferguson.
SO, is the dean of the commissioners
in point of service. He was appoint
ed November II, 1927. Elmer L..
Davis, II, was appointed May %,
1888. Robert Elliott Freer, 81. was
named by President Roosevelt in
1885, and Mr. Mason, who is 54, was
appointed by President Truman
October 8, 1945. The chairmanship
rotates among the commissioners
annually. Mr.. Ayres has been the
chairman three times since his
appointment in 1884 and will serve
again before his term expires.
In a decision by Mr.. Ayres in
which "a case was dismissed, his
mind is shown to be both duty
conscious and practical. The COM
mission, in its complaint, had
charged the Jeddo- Highland Coal
Co. in Pennsylvania and three
Providence, r. l., coal dealers with
conspiracy to restrain and eliminate
competition. Mr., Ayres wrote, in
part:
Case Dismissed
"The mere abandonment of an
unlawful practice Is not sufficient
to prevent the issuance of an order
to cease and desist. In many cases
there is no assurance that respond
ent, If it could shake the commits
sion's hand from its shoulder, would
not continue its former course. The
commission has, however, a broad
discretion to determine whether OF
not an order is needed to prevent
resumption of a practice which may
be unlawful, and it must exercise its
discretion in view of all the circum-
stances. Where the practice COM
planned of was discontinued long
before the commissions order, and
there is no reason to apprehend a
renewal, it is doubtful that an order
to cease and desist would be sus-
tanned or enforced. But there is no
sound reason tos believe that the
practice complained of will not be
renewed, a cease and desist order
should be issued even though the
practice has been discontinued. In
such cases the determination as to
whether or not an order is needed
is primarily within the scope of the
commissions discretion.
THE practices complained of have.
been inactive since about the time
the complaint issued. =. it does
not appear that the public interest
would be materially served by the
issuance of a cease and desist order.
1t is for these reasons and not
because of failure of proof that the
commission, in the exercise of its
discretion, has dismissed this
proceeding"
In 1943 the commission ordered
brewer to stop using the word Ca

ly earmarked for the new DEAL in
the FTC, even though in the previ-
GUS appropriation a large sum was
so earmarked which served to build
up personnel within the agency to
carry out those aims. Thus busi-
ness may reason that the reappoint-
ment of Mr. Ayres and the failure
to earmark funds represents swing
OF the pendulum in the other direc-
ton. The Senate committee report
on the bill said
THE committee recommends $3,-
0O0,12 for salaries and expenses for
the Federal Trade Commission.
This amount represents an increase
Of 100000 over the House allow
ance for $2.8O0,120 and is 1920, $50
under the budget estimate of $3,-
82o,7oo. In allocating the increase
recommended, funds should be pro-
vided to carry on effectively the in
dustrial reports program. ''' While
not specifically earmarking a portion
of the money to- be used for stipu-
lation and trade practices conference
work. and for industry-wide surveys
in relation thereto, the committee
urges increasing effort on the part of
the commission to extend these
programs as far as practicable
without change Of existing policy
with respect to enforcement of the
antitrust laws"
In final action on the bill the
conferees raised the amount recon-
mended by the House by 100000.
Conception of Job
Having himself been a member
of Congress and having given con-
slant approval to the objectives of
the statutes under which the COM
mission operates. Mr.. Ayres does not
look kindly upon efforts of his
agency, ,or any agency, to 60 beyond
the functions expressly given by the
law. Certain it is that a motion
by Mr.. Mason, also included in the
Senate hearing-already pending
two months before the commission
and designed to alter its policy
will not be carried without being
Vigorously opposed, amended or sub
stituted.
Although the commissions work
has been handicapped by. lack of
personnel to carry out all it's OBJ
jectives, Mr.. Ayres thinks that the
commission is making good record.
Certainly he is doing his bit to see
to it that the pace of the commits
sion does not slacken. His docket
is always close cropped and the
work expedited. He believes thor
oughly in the new system developed
some two years ago whereby the
commissions divisional work is ro-
tated among the commissioners so
that each retains fresh and over
all viewpoint toward the total work
of the commission. There was op-
position to this plan at first but it
is proving more and more salts
