Bullitt Insists On Military Aid For China

WASHINGTON, (P) - William c. Bullitt, former ambassador to Russia, advised Congress yester- day to vote $1O0,OOO,OOO for mil itary supplies to China"
 Bullitt testified to the House foreign affairs committee which is considering the administrations request for $57O,0OO,OOO aid for China.
 The administrations program contemplates only economic help for the Chinese-money to finance food and other consumer imports and for improvement of railroads, roads and factories. Some Con- gress members have urged that the program be broadened to in clude weapons the Chinese gov ernment can use in fighting com munists.
 Bullitt accused the state depart ment, which drafted the aid pro- gram, of "blindness and apathy" toward China.
 "China is the key to the entire Far East" he said. "If our govern ment should permit the Commun- ist to take over China, it would have failed to bar the way to at tack on our country by over whelming masses of Stalin-driven slaves"

Reds Prepare To Take Over Finland
tBy Edwin Shanke)

HELSINKI (P)-Finland's Com munists yesterday began organiz- ing factory and trade union meet ings to support a military pact with Russia.
 The Communist organ Tyoekan- Sas Sanomat said workers favor friendship and assistance treaty with the Soviet Union because it is the best way to guarantee the interests of Finland and the cause or peace.
 The first of the factory meetings being organized by the commun- ists were held Monday at Turku and Tempere, two of Finland'S most important industrial centers.
 Political leaders held closed ses- sions to discuss whether Finland should negotiate with the Russians and what the consequences would be, particularly in the west. They hoped to have their answers ready for President Juho Paasikivi to- day.

British To Battle Either Aggressor In Palestine

JERUSALEM, (P) - Britis h troops battled beside Jews yester- day against Arab snipers dug in on hillsides commanding the Jeru- salem-Jaffa road, a Jewish agency source said
 The British vowed last night to use their weapons henceforth "im- partially against whichever side is firing"
 The informant said both British police and Tommies moved into the area, about 12 miles outside Jerusalem.
 A large-scale battle appeared to be under way. Heavy automatic weapons and grenadeS wer e heard, and the Jews were believed to be bringing up mortars.
 The British crack-down order in Jerusalem came from Brig. C. P. Jones, commander of the Brit ish garrison, who declared that force must be used impartially against whichever force is firing in the area.
 His statement followed one by the British Mandate government which charged the Jewish agen- cies with condoning terrorism.
 The governments charge all but severed relations with the Jewish agency, political representative of Palestine's 100000 Jews.

Rep. Jackson Says Alaska Freight Rates Too High
(BY Charles D. Watkins)

GAP Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON (P)-Rep. Jack son O.-WashD said yesterday Alaskan shipping rates are too high and the maritime commission should find way to reduce them.
 He wrote the commission that it should make careful study of the capital structure of the various shipping companies operating un- der the Alaska interim steamship service law.
 This law provides three Seattle companies shall operate the serv- ice to Alaska with ships chartered to them at nominal rate by the government.
 Jackson said:
 With the government provid- ing practically all of the invest ment for present operation of dol lar-a-year ships, it is quite evident that the only investment required by the companies, with the eXcep- tion of a very few vessels owned by the Alaska Steamship company and The Alaska Transportation company, is furnishing operating capital in an amount necessary to carry on the business.
 "The amount of capital for rate making purposes therefore should be held to an absolute minimum.
 Tn addition careful investiga- tiOn should be made of the operat- ing efficiency of the various com panies.
 "A substantial saving can be made by modernization of loading and unloading facilities. With the reduction of operat- ing costs and a careful determina- ton of capital structure for rate making purposes, I am sure there

Seeks Greater Taxing Power For Territory

Delegate Bartlett has introduced legislation, H. R. 5477, which would allow the Territorial legis- lature to alter, amend, modify or repeal a 48-year old law of Con- gress which he believes is out worn and should be discarded.
 In 1899 and 1900, trade and oc- cupation license tax acts were passed by Congress, with later amendments, allowing only certain businesses to be taxed by license fees. Such taxes as levied and col lected by the federal government are now deposited in what is called the Alaska Fund and are disbursed by the federal govern ment for construction and repair of roads, school maintenance and relief of the indigent in the Terri tory.
 Delegate Bartlett in presenting H. R. 5477 to Congress reiterates his belief that the Territorial leg islature should be allowed increas- ed power in taxation matters now curtailed by existing federal laws, including the Organic Act.

Situation Tense In Costa Rica
tBy Reginald Wood)

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, (P) - President Teodoro Picado ordered all Costa Rica's banks closed yes terday and today as tension neigh tened in the nations political cri- sis.
 Gunplay broke out here Monday night shortly after Congress had annulled the victory of newspaper Otilio Ulate Blanco in the Feb. 8 presidential elections. Yesterday the nation awaited a general strike order by Ulate's union na- cional party.
 Picado said he would suspend civil rights and invoke martial law if the party goes through with the strike.
 The government bank said it had sent 100000 colones ($200,- 0OO) to Limin, on the Atlantic coast, to check heavy withdrawals there.
 Two customs guards were slain in a gunfight at the home of Car los Valverde, a newly elected dep uty and an ardent supporter of Ulate. Valverde was said to have been wounded so seriously that he is not expected to live.
 SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, (R) - Otilio Ulate Blanco, whose cleo tion as president was voided by Congress, is in jail today charged with complicity in the killing of two customs guards.

POSTAL RATES
But Second Class Remains
UNCHANGED.

Washington-Increased pos
tai rates will go into effect on
January l, but they won't af-
feet second class mail. There
is talk among congressman
about voting an increase dur
ing the next session, however.
The increases authorized by
the House of Representatives
bill No. 6916 include:
One cent more on airmail,
making the new rate six cents.
One-half cent increase on
the first two ounces of third
class mail with the bulk rate
under permit up to two cents
a pound although the present
minimum of one cent per piece
is retained.
Parcel post rates increased
about 20 per cent.
Catalogue rates up about SO
per cent.
Book rates increased from a
flat rate of four cents for the
first pound and three cents for
each additional pound to eight
cents for each additional
pound.
Special delivery goes up to
Is cents and money order fees,
registry, insurance, and COD
services are raised in each
bracket.
The post office committee
estimates the increased in
come will be about $124,0O0,-
600 annually.
Indications that second-class
rates may be reviewed in the
next session were given in a
statement by Sen. Robert Taft
(R-O.).
Senator Taft said: ct may
say that there should be a fur
ther increase in postal rates
but the house committee ap-
parently prepared these fig
ures for increases very rapidly 9
and our committee thinks with
some lack of discrimination,
