Visit by Fleet Considered By Admiral

ny FaSskasf 0s
 The Navy, on two separate oc- casions during the past week, has taken action which will be of vital interest to Seward:
 1. Defense Secretary James For restal announced that the Navy will take over all military sea transport, including 260 Army ships.
 2. Mayor Eugene N., Lanier re- ceived letter from Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan that his invitation to the Navy to visit Seward on winter maneuyers had been turned over to Admiral D. C. Ramsey, Commander in Chief, US. Pacific Fleet, for further action. Port Facilities
 Since port facilities as we'll as shipping facilities will be placed under Navy control, it is expected that the Seward Army dock will be turned over to the Navy au- thorities when the decision be- comes effective
 It is reported that a Navy officer was in Seward last week for the purpose of inspecting the Army dock facilities. Unfortunately, rep resentatives of the Record were unable 10 contact him for an inter view. It will take at least a year to complete all changes. To Visit Kodick Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan did say that the vessels to take part in the maneuvers were currently scheduled to visit Kodiak for few days, and that no other visits were scheduled at that time.
 In bis letter to Mayor Lanier the Navy Secretary said in part:
 "As you no doubt realize, these operations are for the purpose of training under cold weather con- ditionS, and the schedule arranged to provide the maximum opera tions at sea during the training period. However, the Chief of Naval Operations has forwarded your invitation to Admiral U. C. Ramsey, the Commander in Chief, US. Pacific FleeG, who, I am sure, will do everything possible to ar range for some of the vessels to visit Seward, and who will com municate with you in regard to this matter"
 The mayor sent telegram yes terday to the Secretary of the Navy, in behalf of the people of Seward, to thank him for his ef- forts, and to assure him that the Navy will receive a hearty well come at Alaska's foremost sea- port.

New Initiation Curbs
| Must Not Cut Jobs,
Flanders Warns

In looking for new ways of con-
trolling imitation, Congress must ex-
ercise care not to create unemploy-
ment, in the opinion Of Senator
Flanders, Republican, Of Vermont,
chairman of the joint Economic
Subcommittee holding hearings on
corporation profits.
The hearings are in recess until
Wednesday, when spokesmen for
one automobile factory and two oil
companies will be heard.
The testimony has given ammu-
milton to the advocates of higher
corporation taxes but committee
members are not agreed on how
additional revenue should be raised.
And in the final analysis the tax
issue will be decided by the House
Ways and Means and the Senate
Finance Committees, which un-
doubtedly will conduct their own
hearings later.
Budget to Determine Taxes.
Senator Flanders told reporters
I'VE have got to have a source of
taxation-the big problem is where
to draw the taxes from without
hurting the economy.
Senator 'O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming and others favor an ex-
cess profits tax on business as the
best means of getting money to pay
for Government costs, military and
defense and aid to Europe.
But Senator Flanders said the in
dividual taxpayer many have to
share more of the burden. He added
the Administrations budget for the
next fiscal year should determine
what the tax structure will be.
Il think 1t would be a mistake"
he added, Ito 60 to an undistributed
profits tax rather than higher reg
ular corporation tax"
The Vermont Senator said in his
opinion an excess profits tax leads
to wasteful spending by business.
Calls Exemption Rise . Mistake.
The Republicans made Q mistake
this year. he said, in raising tax
exemptions for about 1000, 900 low
income wage earners.
Besides creating q new tax prob
lem, he said, the Republicans gained
no political advantage from this
act of kindness to a big chunk Of
the voting public. This was proved,
he chuckled, tn the November elec-
tions.
The committee will look into the
charge by q CIO economist that
business is holding down prcduc-
tion to keep prices up.
Were going to pursue that state
ment," Senator Flanders said. I'VE
don't know that vt Is q statement
Of fact. If 1t is q fact, it IS bad
for-business and for the country"

Mr.. Hoffman was asked at a news
conference whether ECA aid to
China would continue If the Chinese
Communists or a coalition govern

Rehabilitation Projects Continue.
If we are satisfied that the gov

that ECA continue and I think our

projects already approved are con-
tinuing where possible in China, but
that no long-range projects can be
added until the situation clarifies.
He added that If the present gov

would recommend continuation of
ECA in China for the second quar-
ter Of 1949. The present program
Is due to expire April /, 1949.
Asked what the ECA would do
during the interim, If there is a
change of administration, Mr.. Hoff-
man commented:
During an interim, while we
were still not sure what a new
government would be like, I would
recommend continued aid. providing
the new government would permit
us to administer and distribute this
aid in our own way"

He was asked also whether a
coalition government containing 81
per cent Chinese Communists
would be acceptable.

said. I'VE would have to wait to

Demaret Says After
Winning PIayoff
By the Associo,sd Press

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Aug H. - 1t
takes experience and GOODNESS under
pressure to win golf tournaments.
the professionals will tell you.
And Otto Greiner, the compar-
atively youthful Baltimore pro. is
the first to concede cheerfully that
Jimmy Demaret has what 1t takes.
Greiner, who lost by two strokes
yesterday to Demaret in the playoff
for first-prize money of $2,450 in
the st. Paul open, puts it this way:
That Demaret-he's a dandy. He
knew just what was going to happen
all the way. Oh, well, I tried any,
way. And that second money of
$l,750 still looks good to me. I'd
just as soon do that every time"
Greiner and Demaret were forced
into the playoff after they tied SUM-
day with 273s in 70 holes of play.
After the match Demaret paid
tribute to Greiner as "one Of the
coming pros"
After the third hole I wasn't too
much worried about today, he said.
But that Greiner-I don't have to
speak for him. Keep, an eye on
him"
Demaret ended the playoff with
4-under-par 68, while Greiner,
who has been a pro for only Is
months, shot a 10. Greiner said
his 10, the poorest round he shot in
the five days he played, was chiefly
because he couldn't get his putter
working satisfactorily.
Putting troubles cost Greiner
strokes on at least five holes yes
terday. On the 18th green his ball
stopped on the lip of the cup and
just wouldn't go in. He missed puts
on the fifth and 10th holes by a
mere half-inch. Puts on the third
and 18th holes missed by a matter
of inches.
Demaret and Greiner, who is
travelling with Dave Douglas, Will
mington, Del, pro-, left last night
