told how the Republicans were at- tempting to slash several impor- tant Federal projects in Pennsyl- vania; also how Pennsylvania Re- publican Senator Martin was as- suring voters that the projects would not be cut, particularly one proposed dam in the Pittsburgh area.

REPORT ON STATEHOOD

The Governor of Alaska has charged that the Alaska LegsIatre Eighteenth Session just adjourned, has violated the Federal Organic Act by approprat- ing several million dollars than will come into the Treasury in taxes during the next biennium
 The Organict Act provides that no indebted ness for actual running expenses shall be created or assumed in excess of the actual income of the Terri tory for that year.
 Apparently the Legislature did one of two things
 Either appropriated too much money, or;
 Didn't pass enough tax measures.
 It's all in your point of view.
 However this is by the first time the Organic Act has been violated in this connection
 Two years ago the Territory had S5000OO or $500 GOO in bonds which spent during the last two years in addition to the Territory's income for any one year. The Board of Administration also last year apparently authorized the borrowing of around S15OOO0 also in violation" of the Organic Act
 Of course the present Governor has charged be- fore that sessions of the Legislature failed to provide sufficient revenues but only to find out that he wrong.
 However, we are inclined to believe that the ends won't meet this time. It will be interesting to what is done about it. Will the Board of Admin istration make budget that will fit the expendi lures if the Territory goes broke? Or will we have another expensive special session of the Legislature and let the legislators work it out?

CHICAGO VICTORY

Truman himself really seemed to enjoy the meeting. He'd order ed a dozen chairs arranged in front of his desk and as the group entered, he shook hand and es- corted the women separately to these favored chairs.
 Ex-Senator James Tunnell of Delaware opened the discussion by remarking that the President should feel pleased with the results of the Chicago mayoralty election, which returned the Democrats to office with a humping majority. Republican efforts to minimize the national implications of the Chi cago Democratic victory, Tunnell added, sounded rather thin to him.
 Truman agreed. Then he pass ed around a Baltimore Sun car toon by Edmund Duffy showing the COP elephant huddled under the Capitol dome, viewing with alarm the Chicago election.
 If you look at those results and the results of the various survey" Truman said, T think you can safely conclude that the Democratic party is on the up - He paused. then added and up"
 Pennsylvania's national commit teeman David Lawrence then ask ed about the reaction to the "Tru- man Doctrine" speech which call ed for aid to the nations threat ened with Russian domination.
 I've been delighted by the re- sponse." the President said, eX- blaming that it was overwhelming We've all got to work to make the peace We've all go to make the peace work"

COP BUDGET CUTTING

Delaware's Tunnell then dissect- ed the Republican Congressional objections to the Truman pro- gram, pointing out that men like Michigan's Congressman Crawford and New York's John Taber, came from rock ribbed Republican dis triets where they didn't have to explain their actions to the voters to win reelection.
 T think the people aren't being fooled" replied Truman. T sup pose you noticed Sam Rayburn's speech in the House yesterday. Sam certainly called the turn. The Republicans have made a lot of promises they can't live up to. But what's even more surprising is that they made lot of prom ises after election that. they did not have to make.

Summer Trouble Brewing In Iran

TERRAIN, (P) - An Iranian source who has returned from a tnree-month tour of the north said Saturday that remnants of the Azerbaiian province parti n army. estimated unofficially at l5,C00 men, were organizing in he mountains for a summer cam oaign against the central govern ment.
 The informant said he was told hat the rebel groups were direc- ed from across the Russian from ter by Azerbaijan officers who fled from Iran after the fall last December of the Self-declared au- tonOmous government which had been set up by Jafar Pishevardi in Azerbaijan.
 The Azerbaijan movement be- gan at a time when the province still was occupied by Soviet troops and collapsed after the Soviet withdrawal.
 The informant said he had seen armed units formerly connected with the Azerbaijan rebels mak- ing headquarters in isolated viii lageS and caves in the Lake Urmia and Astara regions. He added that a leader told him, We plan to start fighting this summer exact ly as the partiSans now are fight ing in Greece" The leftist parti- sans in Greece practice guerrilla warfare against the Greek gov ernment.
 This source, who could not be identified by name, recalled that only 300 officers and 4,000 men of the former rebel army were known to have been captured or killed in the fighting with govern ment troops last year, although the fighting force was estimated officially at about 24,000 during the revolt.

Senate Votes
 Income Tax Cut
(By Francis J. Kelly

WASHINGTON, (P) - Senator George D.-GaD declared Satur- day a s4,OOOOOO, ,OOO-a-year income tax cut approved by the Senate finance committee would leave no surplus to pay on the $258,OOO,- 000,O00 public debt.
 The measure, slashing levieS 30 to l0.5 per cent, was voted over Georges protest that action should be delayed until Congress has a better idea what next years gov ernment spending will be.
 It would be effective July in- stead of retroactive to last Jan 1, the date fixed in the House bill, and would limit the cut on in comes in the range of $79,728 to S302,3 to Is per cent instead of the House versions 20 per cent.
 George was defeated in a mo- tion to delay the effective date until next Jan. 1 and finally join ed the committees seven Republi- can members Saturday in voting to send the bill to the Floor where he reserved the right to oppose it..
 The other five Democrats on the committee voted against the bill.
 The measure is an amended yer sion of House bill No. l, which started out as 20 per cent across the-board reduction sponsored by ways and means committee chair man Knutson R-MinnD. The House finally approved bill with graduated reductions ran g i n g from 30 to l0.5 per cent, and re- troactive to last Jan 1.
 The most important change made by the Senate committee was delaying the effective date six months.

Only two men now living have
the slightest idea OF what is con-
tanned in the papers Of Abraham
Lincoln which will be opened at the
Library of Congress Saturday.
These are employees of the library
who, under a special provision IN
the deed of gift of Robert Todd
Lincoln, son of the Civil War Presi-
dent, have been engaged for several
wears in indexing the collection.
They have worked under a pledge
of strict secrecy and have not been
allowed to make any notes of any
kind.
Despite this extreme secrecy. how
ever, disclosure of any hitherto un-
told chapter in Civil War history
is quite unlikely, Lincoln experts at
the library believe. The most TO be
hoped for are some curious sloe-
lights on the personalities OF public
figures of that time.
The papers, which number be-
tween $1,000 and 10000, probably
will contain many personal letters
to and from Lincoln. Probability
of important new information, how
ever, is discounted from the fact
that Lincoln's two secretaries, John
G. Nicolay and John Hay. had ac-
cess to the papers before they came
into the hands of Robert Lincoln
and almost certainly would have
published in their biography OF Lin
coin anything which would seriously
affect history.

Pension Fund Withdrawal
Bill Goes 10 President

President Truman's signature was
all that was required today to enact
into law the Jones bill. allowing
dismissed Government employees to
Withdraw their money from the
Federal retirement fund.
The Senate passed and sent TO
the White House yesterday the
measure sponsored by Representa-
tive Jones, Democrat, of Washing
ton. which is expected to alleviate
the financial plight OF thousands
of Federal employees now losing
their jobs.
Under terms OF the bill, dismissed
|Goyernment workers with less than
10 years of service may withdraw
the money they have contributed
to the retirement fund. At present
only those laid-off workers with
less than five years of service may
withdraw their money. Otherwise
the money remains in the fund un-
til the employe reaches the age OF
81, when annuity payments begin.
With Federal employees denied un-
employment compensation rights,
many workers who entered Govern
ment service in 1910 and 1941 will
benefit under the Jones measure
The s4o0 to $500 average refunds
they will get will help tide them
over until they find new employ
ment.

sailors at the next table. The four

came for paying the tab, when the

This struck the sailors, quite ma

lose that one, either. The man who

what they deserved and gave the
