 STATEMENT ON COST OF

JUNEAU - When asked Tor comments on recently published charges that during the last two years the Territory has thrown a. way approximately S50,00O on rate investigations, to the advantage Of the experts, without showing any results for the people of Alaska. Attorney General Ralph J. Rivers, in charge of rate matters for the Territory, made the following statement:
 "The charges are false in fact and distorted in presentation. To- tai expenditures by the Territory so far are $27,844.O5 and not 35O.- 900.

Senate May Trim Bill.
Republicans figure that the tax
cuts voted by the House Monday
would use up $500, 90, 900 of this
surplus. Democrats argue it will
be closer TO $1,000, ZOO, 900.
Actually, the Senate Finance
COMMITTEE may scale the House
tax bill down substantially, thereby
leaving more leeVay for unfore-
seen Government obligations.
For instance, the Senate could
cut the cost of the tax bill below

the House, refunds would be made

Kuter Heads Combined Navy,
Air Force Transport Service
New Organization
Merges Air Facilities
OF Both Branches
By John A. GiIes

Secretary of Defense Forresta
today announced establishment Of
"a Military Air Transport Service
by combination OF Air Force ane
Navy facilities and named Maj
Gen. Laurence s. Kuter as its COM
mander.
The new service combines the
Naval Air Transport Service anc
the Air Transport Service of the
Air Transport Command. This Is
the first merger Of armed forces
facifities since Mr.. Forrestal took
office last September.
Rear Admiral John p. Whitney
was named deputy commander, and
will report for duty Immediately
Gen. Kuter will report on March /
Service Under Air Force.
Gen. Kuter recently vas selected
by President Truman to be chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Board.
However, Congress refused to pass
special legislation to permit him to
keep his Air Force pay and rank
while holding the civilian job.
Mr.. Forrestal said the combined
transport service is under the Air
Force and will maintain and oper-
ate substantially all air transport
required by the armed forces and
the military establishment, as well
as a large proportion of the nom
scheduled air transport"
The Navy, however, retains, re-
sponsibility for operation of air
transport essential to naval opera
tons.
Mr.. Forrestal explained this Navy
responsibility as such as naval air
transport essential for internal ad-
ministration and air transport over
routes of sole interest to the naval
forces, where the requirements can
not be met by MATS"

Democrats, Fearing New Cuts,
Drop Fiqht Over I rumon Fund

statement for the Congressional
Record that the 100000 recon-
mended is 5000 900 more than the
President had for the same purposes
this year. ....
Representative Andrews, Demo-
crat, of Alabama, member of Mr.
Wigglesworth's committee, took issue
with the New Highlander, telling
newsmen:
Certainly the President has the
right to say how much he needs for
his emergency fund and Congress
should give him any amount he re-
quests within the bounds of reason.
But Mr.. Andrews and other
Democrats said they will depend on
their Senate colleagues to try to
raise the allotment. Some said they
feared that If they offered an In
creasing amendment Republicans
might counter it with one to reduce
the item further.
I'VE just don't have the votes,
one party member said.
There was little controversy over
other allotments in the bill. The
largest sum, $3.50 ,588 1854, is for the
Public Roads Administration.
