of revenue used by the congressional
committees.
The Congress proposes to extri-
cate itself from this situation by
charging $4,000, 900 900 Of 1s49 ex-
penditures under the European Re-
#covery Program against the 1913
revenues. This might avoid deficit
in 1949. But the facts cannot be
obscured by the fiscal sleight-of-
hand by which prospective deficit
in 1949 is made to appear as q
surplus. Actually the surplus avail
able for debt retirement for the two
years 1948 and 1949 would not be
affected in the slightest by such
shift in accounting.
The public debt is $3.50 billion.
repeat what I have so often said
before-if we do not reduce the
public debt by substantial amounts
during a prosperous period such as
the present, there is little prospect
that 1t will ever be materially re-
duced.
vascillating Policy Opposed.
am aware that some hold the
view that 1t would be proper to re-
duce taxes now, and that 1t will be
time enough to restore adequate
federal revenues when the full ex-
tent and cost OF our commitments
are more definitely determined. I
cannot subscribe to such an erratic
and vacillating tax policy. We al
ready know enough about the gov
ernment's financial outlook to DEM
onstrate the serious effects of re-
ducing revenues now by S. billion.
The additional expenditures which
are in prospect, although not ex-
actly determined as to amount, are
OF sufficient size to make clear the
shortsightedness of cutting taxes at
the very time our obligations are in
creasing. If endorsed tax reduc-
tion now, knowing that to do so
would in all likelihood mean in
creased taxes next year, I would not
be dealing fairly with the American
people.
This bill would undermine the
soundness of our Government
finances at time when world peace
depends upon the strength Of the
United States.
1t would also gamble with the
dangers of further imitation. I have
urged on many occasions that steps
be taken to relieve the distressing
effects of high prices. Since these
steps have not been taken, the most
important force restraining imitation
has been the Government surplus
and the use of this surplus to reduce
/ the public debt. This bill would re-
duce or eliminate this important
weapon against imitation.
1t has been argued that tax re-
duction now would furnish incen-
tives for more active investment and
business enterprise and, conse-
quently, more production. The plain
facts show that neither funds nor
profit incentives are lacking for in

1948 have substantially maintained
the very high level of 1947.
From the viewpoint of the average
family which spends most OF its in
come to buy the necessities of life,
the kind of tax reduction which
this bill provides would be an evil
in disguise. Imitation is still here
and the cost of living has not de-
scended to reasonable levels. The
consumers price index-which was
159 for 1947 as whole, was 1878 in
February, >1948, and premliminary
figures indicate that it was even
higher In March. A large tax re-
duction at this time would help
drive the cost OF living still higher.

BY STANLEY BAITZ

WALTER McCREERY BENT over one of
w half-dozen cups of coffee, arranged
semicircularly, and shifted heavily
"A sniff is all you need" he said. I'VE lay
$4,000 on the line with just that much to
60 on"
Mr.. McCreery, slim, dapper, is coffee
tester. He has been a coffee man for Is
years, and is secretary and general manager
of one of the Oldest If not the oldest, coffee
roasting houses in Washington. One of his
more important chores Is testing the various
samples sent in by New York importers and
coffee agents. From his appraisal the firm
makes its order.
The sampling ritual would horrify any
serious disciple of Emily Post. Like other
coffee testers, Mr.. McCreery's table manners
are something less than urbane. With nose
almost in the cup, he sniffs. Then, with
spoon, he slurps up bit and swishes it
around in his mouth. Then, effete reader,
he spits 1t out into a great brass gobboon,
especially designed for the purpose. Yes,
actually! You see, if coffee testers swallowed
all the coffee they tested they would soon
lose their sense Of taste-at least, for coffee.
Mr.. McCreery says man who knows his
business could get by all right simply with
shifting. But to make sure he usually tastes
as well as sniffs
Preparations leading up to the testing call
for almost laboratory precision. All the
various samples of green bean must be
roasted the same length Of time at the same
temperature in order to insure uniform con-
ditions This is done in little sample
roaster. When roasted, each sample is
ground very fine and carefully weighed out
on small scale before it is put into the
cup. The water is brought to hard boil
and poured over the coffee in each cup
When the filed cups are arrayed on a
revolving table Mr.. McCreery begins his test
ing. What does he look for? Well, aroma,
OF course. And piquancy It should have
body, too. Also, in the trade vernacular, is
the coffee soft? That is, is it free from
Objectionable flavor?
you take strictly soft coffee from
Brazil" says MIR. McCreery, "and zip it up
with some of the sharper coffee from, say
Guatemala, Mexico, Arabia or Abyssinia
until you get what you think is Just the
right blend"
Straight washed coffee is usually too sharp

CONTRIBUTIONS MADE FOR
 HEALTH COUNCIL BENEFIT

l The Health Council held is reg ular meeting last Thursday even l ing with l2 representatives of To- ] cal organizations attending This, executives of the Health Council said. was a gratifying response to an appeal for active interest in l health work of the Wrangell Health Department.
 Miss Anette Jacobson, local Pub l lie Health nurse, spoke of the need for a telephone in her office and George Fabricius, Superintendent of Schools, stated that il would al so be advantageous to be able to contact the nurse from the school by telephone. The Council voted to have a telephone installed in the nurses office as soon as possible Since Territorial and Federal funds are used to extend services through salaries only, the Council sibility of local communities to provide and maintain the Health Centers. It explained that Wran- gell is fortunate in having excel lent rooms in ahe Federal Building and therefore, the maintaining eX- penses, alone, must be taken care of by the community. Approximate ly'$10O will be needed annually. h addition to the telephone service, stationery bills and laundry bills must be met.
 The executives said that Wran- gell community has realized and met this need very graciously and there is now about S65 in the Health Council account.
 The following organizations have contributed $500 each to date: B.P.O.E., American Legion Aux Hilary, Order of Eastern Star, Am erican Red Cross. Order of Red Men, Wrangell Womens Civic Club, Chamber of Commerce. Alas ka Native Brotehrhood, Alaska Ma tive Sisterhood, St. Philips Guild, Presbyterian Ladies' Aid, Seventh Day Adventist church, Missionary i Society.
 Attendance of any citizen who wishes to submit suggestions, ask questions or just learn of the health problems in the community is welcomed at meetings of the Wrangell Health Council which are held at the Public Health Gen. tr on the last Thursday of every month at D. m.

RIVERS ANSWERS sEMAR

This is certainly a case of placing an unfair and ar bitrary handicap on the small fel- low who is least able to pay.

Open Letter to Standard Oil and Union Oil:

We find it necessary by this means to explain to the public the unfortunate position which your recent drastic increases in gasoline prices has placed the trollers in.
 Delegates of this Union from the various Alaskan communities have gotten together during the past few months and have worked out plans whereby they expected 10 avert repetition of the fisher mems strikes which caused to much unpleasantness during the preceding seasons. Heeding Presi- dent Truman's plea to labor to a. void anything that would curtail production or arise prices, the troll lers have wished to do their part in the fight against imitation. Accord ingly, negotiations are now or soon will be in progress with the vari- ous fish buyers to work out agree ments that will stabilize prices at present levels and insure against work stoppages
 However, engine fuel is a major expense of all trollers and the re- cent severe price raises will i'm pose an unexpectedly heavy burden on fishermen during the coming summer. Since our operating mar gin of profit is too narrow for us
