The W asnington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-T members of the House Armed Services Commit tee who called on Pope Plus came away with healthy respect for the Pontifi's grasp of world politics and his earnest desire to help in Eur ope. The Congressmen found that the Pope knew all too we'll what they had recently discovered in their inspection trips.
 The Pope opened the meeting by reading in English-which he speaks well, but slowiy-a statement on the importance of a strong and compassionate United States if Europe is to survive COP Con- gressman Dewey Short of Missouri a former Baptist preacher, elo- queltly replied.
 A half hour of discussion fol- lowed, during which one Congress man tried to put the Pope on the spot. He was Republican Repre- sentative Runt Bishop, a former tailor and coal miner from Carter vile, H. A conscientious Congress man while in Washington, in Eur ope Bishop was forever buying trinkets, until by the end of the trip he was known as "The Mer- chant Prince"
 One thing bothered Bishop.

lax SIashing Bill Is 10 Be Ready for introduction on
 First Day Congress Meets
By FRANCIS M. LEMAY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-R- Brushing aside a recommendation by President Truman's economic council that taxes he held where they are to help Europe, Rep. Knutson (R-Minn) announced to- day a S4,0OO,O 100000 tax slashing bill will be ready "at high noon November IT."
 That is the day Congress re- convenes at MT Truman's call to consider assistance abroad and ln- flation curbS at home.
 Knutson, chairman of the House Ways and Means committee and Republican manager of tax legisla- ton, voiced hope the tax cut will be passed ahead of any aid-to- Europe measure.
 I'm afraid the Presidents ad- visory committee is as badly con fused as he is,' the lawmaker said
 MT Truman's economic council reported Saturday that, with pres  ent tax rates and partial readopt- ion of wartime imitation controls the United States can help Flu rope and at the same time reduce the national debt.
 Said KnutSon
 'The councils recommendation to the contrary notwithstanding will in no way deter us from go- ing ahead in our fight to give the harassed taxpayer relief
 The new bill will be a two phase tax cut" Knutson said, em- hodying nationwide application of the community property principle along with percentage cuts in the various income brackets.
 MT. Truman twice used his veto earlier this year to kill a Repub- lican-backed S4,OOO,O 100000 tax cut These measures would have eased income levies by 30 percent in the lowest brackets, 20 percent foI middle incomes and 105 percent for any income over S302 900.

ECONOMIST
 GIVINC0UT
 HIS VIEWS
Attorney General Rivers Also Makes Statement
 Regarding Tariff

SEATTLE, Nov 3-lR-Donald U. OConnor, Washington. D. C., economist, declared at a Maritime Commission hearing on Alaska freight rates today that steamship companies serving Alaska recently made three voyages where two would have carried the same amount of cargo less expensively. OConnor, representing the Ter ritory of Alaska, testified that in some cases vessels sailing between Alaskan and Puget Sound ports have been loaded to only F per- cent of capacity@
 Steamship lines involved are the Alaska Steamship Company, the Northland Transportation Company and the Alaska Transportation Company.
 The Maritime Commission grant, ed 35 percent increase in rates to Alaska shipping last summer un- der an interim Alaska shipping plan. The Territory has contended the rates are too high. The agree ment expires June 30, l948.
 Examiners C. w Robinson and Robert Furness said the hearings which started Oct 27, should be concluded by noon tomorrow. Rob- inson said night secession may be held tonight if the steamship companies offer many rebuttal witnesses.
 salmon Canncries Favored 1 A Territorial representative as serted at Maritime Commission hearing here Saturday that salmon eanneties have been given prefer ential steamship freight rates at the expense of the average Alaska shippers.
 Donald J. OConnor economic consultant for the Territory. testi- fled to this as Alaska started pre- sentation of it's argument for low CT height rates.
 Fer years on end the people of Alaska have been subject. as they new are. to higher rates for general cargo than the salmon industry is fer cahned salmon" O'Connor said.
 These rates are, i'll effect. de- cree penalizing the resident Alas kan for living in Alaska, the lower rates are. in effect. a decree re- quifing the Alaska resident to make up for whatever deficits accrue from the cost Of shipping canned salmon and salmon cannery needs"
 Steamship company witnesses said previously that rates for or ainary Alaska freight would be much higher if it were not for the heavy volume of business provided by the salmon industry.
 Rates Too High
 Ralph J. Rivers, Alaska Attorney Gene ral, sad the Territory would attempt to prove that freight rates are "too high and that inequities exist.
 The Territory feels" he said, that even if .he steamship com panies have to get that much re- venue Ca 35 percent mcreasel they should shift some of the burden to the industrial cargo moving both north and south, so that it won't De such a burden on the Alaska consumer"
 Rivers said an analysis of the rates by the Territory indicated to him that the steamship lines had increased their rates slightly over 50 percent on northbound non-in- dustry cargo, and only about 10 percent on canned salmon south bound" He added the Territory also hoped to show that by effecting economies. the companies could reduce their entire rate schedule.
 The hearing, being conducted to determine rcasonableness of rate increases put into effect last spring, was adjourned at noon Saturday until today

Truman's Economic Advisers
 Seek Parkway Return, Controls
 Of Wartime; Drastic Measures

gress should provide "at least the minimum powers" to attack rising prices directly, if less drastic mea- sures fail.
 And even the less drastic mea- sures it recommends, the council said, add up to a vigorous pro- gram to protect all our peo- pie against the disaster of demor- alized business and uncontrolled in flation."
 Recommendations
 The steps-virtually the only outright recommendations made since the Council was created in 1946 to promote full employment and production include:
 l. Allocation Of grain, scarce foods, steel and other world short age commodities among U s. in dustrial users.
 ?. The "curbing of speculation and hoarding of goods"-which presumably means Federal power to govern down payment require ments on the commodity exchanges, plus inventory control of the war time type.
 3. Export controls, which will expire February 29 unless Congress renews them.

ALL BODIES RECOVERED,
 MT. TAMGAS
Bad Weather, Difficult Ter : rain Experienced by
 Rescue Groups

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. 3.-lR Bodies of the l8 passengers and crew members killed in the crash of a Pan American World Airways plane a week ago all have been recovered from the w-buried wreckage atop Mount Tamgas and only two remain unidentified. res cue parties reported.
 Pan American headquarters on Annette Island, where the ill-fated Clipper met disaster Oct. 26, said three of the canvas wrapped bodies have been brought down the rugged $500 foot peak to Tamgas Lake. From there they will be flown to the Annette airport or Ketchikan.
 The task of carrying the bodies to the lake will be long and diff ficult the group reported, because of the precipitous terrain and bad weather. Intermittent snowstormS have swirled around the mountain top since the shattered DC-4 was first sighted from the air last Thursday.
 Camper Makes Report
 As a sidelight to the intensive five-day search for the missing skyliner, the Coast Guard disclosed that a Ketchikan camper, Joe Will Hams, saw the big craft headed to- ward cloud-covered Mount Tamgas apparently few moments before it crashed
 Williams told the Coast Guard early last Thursday he heard the roar of planes engines the pre- vious Sunday while camped at Reef Point on the northeast tip of An nette Island Looking up, he sighted the low-flying transport moving southward between Spine and Mar rows Mountains in the direction of Tamgas peak.
 Search Was Started
 On the strength of Williams re- port, the Coast Guard ordered out an 11-man ground party under the direction of It. Comdr. Fred J. Scheiher, only an hour after the group had left ketchikan for Mount Tamgas the planes wreck age was spotted from the air.
 As an indication of difficulties encountered during the search, the Ketchikan Weather Bureau said 4.O7 inches of rain fell during the five days from the time the Clip per disappeared until it was found. The Sunday it went down the rain fall around Ketchikan measured l.83 inches and steady winds were recorded on the ground up to 26 miles an hour. The October mean wind velocity of 94 miles an hour was the highest for any month since the Bureau has been in oper- atioE
 Down Draft While various opinions have been advanced as to the cause of the crash, a general one is that down draft may have been responsible.
 A Ketchikan Air Service Sea bee plane chartered by the Daily News to take pictures, hit an "air pocket" and dropped between 1000 and 1,500 feet near the mountain, according to Pilot Charlie Barnes.
 A big Army plane is reported to have dropped rearly 2,000 feet i'll the same place and it is believed that the big PAA Clipper may have struck a similar downdraft just before it crashed.
