LIONS CLUB HAS NEUBERGER AS
 GUEST SPEAKER

Richard L. Neuberger of Portland, author of a number of articles on Alaska. spoke before the Lions Club noon meeting today in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel.
 He referred to the lack of an adequate tax system as one of Alaska's greatest tragedies.
 He reminded AlasSans Of the schools, roads and other public bene- fits which could have been supported by modern tax system.
 Income and industry tax as a detriment to new business was dis counted by Neuberger who observed that Oregon and California, though having the highest tax of the var
 ious states, have had in recent years the biggest increase in new industry
 Forming himself an absentee writer" with great admiration for an interest in Alaska, Neuberger said he believes Alaskans generally have feeling of hostility and sus- picion toward their fellow Ameri- cans. He said his studies indicated Alaskans are very eager for pulp mill development but are upset with the prospect of incoming population inevitable from such industry. A interesting first-run colored movie produced by the Forest Ser vice and titled "Tongass Timberland was shown. B.

5oyieis Jump Gun on Teather's Statement;
 Attuse U. }. Officer
By The Associated Press)

By The ASSoclateQ fTeSSJ
 Radio Moscow is trying to de- nounce in advance whatever Mrs. Cksana Kosenkina says about her jump from the third floor of the Russian Consulate in New York. According to Jne Soviet radio, nothing the Russian woman teacher says can be accepted as fact. The broadcast, quoting Tass News Agency dispatch from New York, claims Mrs. Kosenkinas life or death now depends on what it calls arbitrary actions and plans of Amer ican police and intelligence agents And it goes on, all statements by Mrs. Kosenkina are being made through the police and intelligence agents and are therefore suspect.
 Actually, Mrs. Kosenkina has made no public statement since she jumped from the Consulate beyond simple statement that she jump ed to escape from Russian hands and that she did not want to see any Russian officials.
 She is still listed on the critical list at the hospital where she was taken. But New York Police and our State Department have made it clear that she is free to leave the hospital any time she sees it, that she can go anywhere she wishes and can make any statement tc whenever she wishes.
 The Russians, of course, antici- pate that whatever she might say won't be in their favor, so they're trying to break it down in advance
 Incidentally, former Czech dip- lomat has an explanation tor Mos cows excitement over the Kosen- kina case. Juraj Slavik the Czech 1 Ambassador to Washington who quit when the Communists took over his country, says it reflects a weakness in the Soviet system. He says two generations of Communism haven't entirely obliterated the Democratic ideals of many Russians He also thinks the Russians may be ballyhooing it as build-up foI some bigger international action they may take, or in order to break down the current Moscow negotia- tions on Germany.
 Moscow's own spy charges againsi an American Navy officer have re- ceived an icy rebuttal from the Amer. lican State Department. A spokes. man says the charge leveled by Mos ,cow against Lieutenant Robert Re. her was a frameup by the Soyie Government and that Ambassado Walter B. Smith said so to the Rus
 sian Foreign Ministry at the time The incident happened four month fTn,ntit,r.a1 n,, pa0a T>wA1

ONE B00kkEEpER
 NEEDED IN WASH.
 FOR BIG ACCOUNT

WASHINGTON. Aug. l6l-tR'-- President Truman's forecast that the government will be $l 500, ,000,- GOO in the red next June, loosed an angry flood of Republican charges today that he had delib- lerately juggled his figures for poli- tical effect.
 COP lawmakers insisted the Treasury will wind up between five and six billion dollars to the good. They said there definitely will be money left over to pare down the national debt and possibly to cut taxes again. s-f
 He said Federal spending in the year ending next June 30 will hit a near peace-time record of $42,- POO 0,00O, 900, more than $6,000,000,- 900 over the outlay last year.
 And instead of the record $8,- 400 ,O0O ,0O0 surplus of last June, Mir. Truman declared, the Treas- ury faces an operating deficit of $l, 800 100000 and return to de- ficit financing
 Actually, even if his figures pan out, the Treasury's books will show an adjusted surplus" of $l l,500, ,000,- 900. That's because Congress speci- fled that $3,OOO, COG, 900 of last years excess funds should be shifted to this years accounts to help cover foreign aid costs. Mir. Truman call ed this a convenient bookkeeping device" to yield paper surplus.

L WASH1NGTON Chances tor the success of the all-important Mos COW talks now look very slim. In fact, they have just about flound- cred.
 After starting out on a highly optimistic note following the Sta lin conference, the debate has bog ged down in a maze of Molotoy details. Western diplomats have concluded that Stalin served merely as a genial diplomatic front, and that, behind him. the Russians do not really want to reach any agree ment.
 Simultaneously, Allied intelli- gence has picked up the informa- tion that all Bulgarian and Ru- manian nationals are ordered to be back inside their respective borders by Sept. l. This can mean either that Russia Is planning te annex Bulgaria aud. Rumania out right or it could nssan preparation for war.
