Spend With Care
CAnchorage News)

Anchorage News) The City Attorney has handed written opinion to the City Manager which if followed by the Council will hold the assessment real and personal property within the city to two per cent or 20 mills
 The City Attorney has ruled that despite an act of Congress permitting Alaskan municipalities to in- crease their top mage rate on assessable property from 20 to 30 mills that there is still the Territorial law which fixes the rate at the 20-rni ceiling There must be new enabling legislation passed by the Ter ritorial Legislature and since this cannot possibly happen until sometime next year the Anchorage City Council according to its legal advisor must abide by the existing tax law
 This precludes the advent of increasing the mill age rate, the Council, in endeavoring to find sources of revenue, was seriously considering
 Now that this expedient is no longer feasible we see only alternative in balancing the budget. This, of course, is to decrease expenditures any operating firm corporation would do when revenue is cut off.
 Because there expenditures that cannot be avoided-those that fixed by the very nature of carrying on of the business of the cityit becomes increasingly apparent that the most careful planning to see that the city is operated an economical and conservative basis is highly essential
 There must be mistakes like the Fourth Avenue paving. Nothing but essentials within the departments must be considered There must be no fourishes until we get paving and power system completed
 These responsibilities lie directly with the city administration, the experts the Council has hired to do the jobs. The of the Council not en- gineers financial specialists experts They depend solely the people they have employed and it be- hooves everyone of these people to do his job this next year.
 Levying more taxes even if it could be done is not the way to build for the future. Sound manage ment is

This particularly point with of the main instgators of the West Coast trouble Harry Bridges
 Although the tieup of shipping involved catas- trophic losses to shippers and trouble and incon- venience throughout the world (affecting our armed forces as well Marshall Plan shipments) the strk ers-partcuary the West Coast strikers-hardy could be said to have victory Their strike has lasted just few days short of three months So even the attainment of their demands is hollow triumph at the end of so long period of unemployment. No body ever wins in a long strike-unless it is some one concerned only with weakening American labor and employers alike.

en route to Panama and could not get back to Washington before Wednesday. If so, the Justice De- partment reckoned without its sister department, the Treasury.
 The Treasury Department, ap- parently not wanting to belle the critics who claim that Truman Cab inet members never let one man know what the other is doing, promptly took Congressman Nixon off his boat en route to Panama and flew him back to Washing ton by special Coast Guard plane.
 Immediately, COP Congressman Nixon scheduled hearings of his Un-American Subcommittee for Tuesday one day ahead of the Justice Departments Grand Jury meeting in New York.
 By this time, however. the Jus tice Department was shaking off weekenditis and really hitting the ball. Overnight, it stepped tip it's Grand Jury session from Wadues- day to Monday This would put it in the headlines one day ahead of the Un- American Committee hear ings.

BASIS FOR PEACE

The recent strike of longshoremen on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts that caused millions of dol lars of loss both sides the subject from time to time, of many newspapers. The settlement also caused editorial expressions and one of the best perhaps, was the following made by the Cincinnati Enquirer
 Although they were based pretty much the strikers terms the settlements of the East and West Coast longshoremen strikes highly welcome development, paving the way for the ending of a general stagnation of maritime The effects of the long tieup of imports exports being felt throughout the nation and the differences of opinion which existed between the longshoremen and the shipping made the tremendous economic less of the stalenate foolish to continue
 The East Coast shippers and longshoremen have not been far apart for time although the nego- tated wage is well below that demanded by the AFL
 bone of contention on the West Coast was the retention of the union hiring hal-osensiby outlawed by the Taft-Hartley Act Both sides agreed upon the apparently reasonable of continuing the hiring

NIXON STEALS HEADLINES

Congressman Nixon, however, is a resourceful gentleman. With the Justice Department holding its Grand Jury investigation on Mon- day, he proceeded to call a press conference and issue a statement which completely stole the head lines.
 1e read part Of Chambers hith- crto secret testimony, given in his Baltimore deposition, in which Chambers accused Hiss of giving him State Department documents fer the Russians.
 This was considered so secret that both the Justice Department k the Baltimore attorneys had ref ,.s- ed to admit such testimony exist ed.
 Nixon also issued a stinging blast against the Justice Department.
 "The Committee is concerned" he said, lover the apparent lack of interest by the Justice Depart ment in getting to the crux of this case"
 After holding this sensational press conference, Nixon and his fellow Republican, Congressman John Mcdowell of Pennsylvania, climbed on a train and went to New York.
 Awaiting them at the Pennsyl- yania Railroad Station were U. S. District Attorney Jack McGohey and special U. S. prosecutor Tom Donegan, who has been trying to track down Communist agents be- fore the N. Y. Grand Jury for more than year.
 McGohey is mild-mannered man. He doesn't talk much. But, smarting from COP election-cam- paign criticism that he failed to prosecute Communist spies and from Nixon's latest diatribe, Me- Gohey said plenty. Behind clos ed hoted-roon doors with Congress- men Nixon and McDowell, he pounded on the table and demand ed that the Un-American Activ- ities Committee not reveal testi- mony that was supposed to be sec- ret. It must not, he said, jump the gun on the Grand Jury. The closed-door session lasted
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-12-10

for some time. After it ended, the two Congressman appeared-meek and modified. Nixon, who few hours before had accused the Jus tice Department of apparent lack of interest" now proclaimed:
 The Committee is cooperating with the Federal attorneys and the Grand Jury 100 per cent. It is our intention to work together" 1"
 Just to make sure, however, MT. McGohey put the two star wit nesses, Alger Hiss and Whitaker Chambers. under Federal subpoena This prevents them from making more headlines for the Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee until the Justice Department is entirely fin ished.

MIDNIGHT RIDE TO
 MARYLAND

Meanwhile, counsel Robert Strip ling, real brains of the Un-Ameri- can Activities Committee, heard about the Baltimore deposition and, never one to let grass under his feet, scurried up to the Chambers farm at Westminster Md.
 Ee and Chambers were old friends, and the ex-Communist agent was not adverse to giving Stripling some additional micro film documents which he had not given to the Baltimore lawyers. ex- cept that the lawyers had told him to say nothing and to cooperate with the Justice Department, which had already started to probe the case
 So Stripling returned to Wash ington, got subpoena, and sped back to Westminster, arriving there at l am. Friday. It was then that Chambers led him to the now famous pumpkin.
 Incidentally, between Stripling's two trips, Chambers had transfer red the microfilm from a squash to a pumpkin Apparent reason for the switch was his own love of mystery, plus the fact that Strip ling, on his first trip, had remark ed on the big pile of squashes in Chambers barnyard So Chambers switched the microflim from a squash to pumpkin, putting a row of squashes in the shape of an arrow pointing to the special pumpkin

 When ex-Communist agen Whitaker Chambers first testified in secret deposition in Baltimore that he had received confidential documents from State Department official Alger Hiss, attorney Rich ard Cleveland, youngest son of the late President Grover Cleveland, acting for Chambers, immediately notified the Justice Department. So also did Hess attorney, William Marbury.
 The Justice Department then pro- ceeded with the case as if it did not live in @ goldfish bowl and as if there were no Un-American Ac- tivities Committee to stir up the animals. It began careful, pain- stalking investigation.

CHAMBERS GUT TECHNICAL
 SECRETS

Whitaker Chambers, the ex- Communist agent, has revealed that, in addition to diplomatic doc uments from the State Department. the Russians also got highly im- portant American technical secrets. These came from the U. s. Bureau Of Standards. the agency which has dealt with atomic energy.
 Investigators for the House Un- American Activities Committee who have examined the record, indicate that these technical secrets were SO important that even today-ten years later-they are still carefully guarded Because of this, it is lot possible to reveal their na- tlue.
 However, Dr. Edward '. Condon,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-12-10

present Director of the Bureau Of Standards whom the Un-American Activities Committee has criticized in the past, is in no way involv- ed.
 Committee investigators said that the technical secrets were given to Chambers in l938, and pr. Con- don did not join the Bureau of Standards until 1945.
 Most significant aspect of the latest Chambers revelation is that the Russian underground, which he says existed at that time, had ac- cess not only to diplomatic infor- nation inside the State Depart ment, but to technical data inside the Bureau of Standards which comes under the Commerce Depart ment.
 Chambers made his revelation in his deposition in the Hiss Chamb- CTS slander case in Baltimore.

BEARDEN HERO OF

 Roundup Given
By JACK HAND

BOSTON, Get. 12.-tR- Gene Bearden, a carefree rookie with ice water in his veins, is the un- disputed hero of Cleveland's first world series title since 1920.
 We owe it all to Bearden," said Manager Lou Boudreau after yes- terday's tingling 4-3 victory over the Boston Braves for the cham picnship. Give him all the cred it. That goes back to the playoff game, too"
 What else could the boss say?
 The handsome southpaw, con- querer of the Boston Red Sox in the pennant playoff game, had just sauntered in from the bull pen to save the series finale.
 A mere ball game can't bother a 28-year- war vet who spent two years in hospitals after the Japs torpoeded the U. s. s. Hell ena. He still carries aluminium plates in his head and left knee.
 Double Play Combine
 The Tribe double play combi- nation of Joe Gordon and Boudreau is the best in the game Time af- ter time that pair around second base choked off Boston uprisings.
 The Braves played poorly afield but in the final analysis, it was the failure of the Boston hitters in the first four games that gave the championship to the Indians.
 Larry Dolby, fleet Negro outiield- CT, lead the new champs at bat with a 3l8 average. He had to yield series honors to the Braves Earl TcrgeSon with his .389 mark. The only other regulars to make the 300 class were Bob Elliott of the Braves, .333, and Eddie Rob- inson of the Indians, 300
 Money Attendance
 In years to come, probably the most important thing that this series will be remembered for are the money and huge attendance. Sundays Cleveland game attract ed 86.288, the largest throng ever to see a ball game. The day be- fore they had 81,897. A final check of the cash box showed an accumu- lation of 1,633 ,685.56, new series record.
 Each Cleveland share is worth about $6,772.05, and each full Bos- ton share is $4,65151. The In- dians split theirs 34 ways to the 53 by the Braves.
