 MT. McNeil has not regained his sight, but he has received a new talking book machine, to- gether with four books on rec ords. Under a borrowing plan provided by the Library of Con- gress, MT. McNeil will receive, on loan, three books each month through the Seattle Public Lii brary.
 The books, each of which has a Braille title imprinted on the rec ords, are a part of free service for the blind. The talking book machine is also sent through the Seattle library.
 This service is given without charge to all blind persons of the United States who care to avail themselves of the opportunity to use the equipment and to borrow books.
 MT. McNeil received his ma chine through the efforts of Del. Bob Bartlett, when the delegate became interested in his case after reading his story in an An chorage newspaper last winter.
 Although nearly totally blind Che is able to distinguish day from night, MT. McNeil lives alone, cooking his own meals and caring for all his daily needs. He has been known to travel the en- tire length of the Valley and even as far as Anchorage, without as- sistance.

COP Will Slash Truman Budget

WASHINGTON, P-Republi- cans set out today to chop some five billion dollars out of Presi- dent Truman's $39,669, 1000, ,00O budget for the year starting July first.
 The Foreign aid program ap- peared likely to be the main tar get of the money saving drive.
 A five billion dollar slash was the tentative goal set by chair man Taber R.-N. YD pending a meeting of the Senate-House bud get committee to go over details of the unprecedented peacetime spending estimate MT. Truman sent to Congress Monday.
 While Taber declined to specify just what items most likely would be singled out for cuts, he noted that the Presidents estimate of actual foreign aid outlays during the year and his requests for funds to finance other projects not authorized by law run we'll over five billion dollars.

ample 58 calls made at Juneau in four months to discharge only 5,912 tons and take aboard 1889 The brief notes that Alaska is confronted with heavier freight costs than other possessions and territories" and states that Alas kan trade appears to constitute a startling exception to the usual rule that carriers by water is mile-for- mile cheaper than carri- age by rail"
 Revenue of the Alaska Steam ship Company in the four-month period under study was found by the commission attorneys to be S5,40O,000 while operating ex- pense was $3,7OO,OOO. Northland revenue was $1,7OO,OOO and oper- ating expense $l,28O,OOO; ATCO revenue $779,OOO and operating expense $572,OOO.
 Adjustment of schedules, elim- ination of over emphasis on pas senger service and the possible elimination of some vessels from the rate bases are declared by the commission observers to be mot only practicable but advisable" The result, they say, eventually would be reflected in lower rates"
 The commission staff critcizes the interim contract under which the three Alaska carriers are op- erating as without adequate pro- visions binding operators to use ships to secure the most economi- cal transportation for the Alaska service" and as 'hog-tying" the commission in the matter of mak- ing ships available to other carri- CTS who might be interested in en- tering the trade. "The contract does not contain the adequate pro- lection to the interest of the Ter ritory of Alaska which the chair man of the maritime commission felt and intended it should con- tain," the brief continues. The commission observers declare that the contract results in territory division and ship-allocation of questionable equity and merit" and "of itself discourages the in. vestment of private capital in a long-term shipping enterprise and keeps rate structures in the Alas ka trade upon temporary and generally unsatisfactory basis"
 After all briefs are studied, the commissions examiners will make recommendation to the maritime commission itself, which will issue an order in the case.

 December 29, l947 My dear Associate Collectors" of Withholding Tax:
 AS l947 draws to a close, I wish to extend New Year greetings to all of you (and there are 49,678 of you employers in the Washington collection district who withhold from employees and make remit tances which apply toward their income tax liability. Also, I wish to report that we've been doing pretty well this year, and at the same time offer a proposal. During the first II months of l947 you helped our staff collect $l66,954,0 ,000 in withholding taxes. This is $15,762, ,OOO more than the collections for the corresponding period in 1946.> A considerable portion of that money will be re- funded to individual taxpayers or credited to their account as quick as it can be done in l948. These refund and credit dollars have been piling up all this year. Mil lions of 'em, there are! Just wait ing to be claimed by those who are entitled to them.
 So, let's get those refund dol lars rolling! How can it be done? We'll, first, the picture:
 This year we refunded approxi- mately $27,OOO,OOO to 538,OOO per sons. Since withholdings have in creased substantially, it is pre- sumed that refunds and credits will be greater in 1948. Handling of nearly million re- turns has been a tremendous task in recent years. In the coming fil- ing period the work load will be staggering in view of our greately reduced personnel. But there's one way to get considerable amount of refund dollars rolling early! That is through cooperation of employers, employees and taxpay- CTS generally in filing returns promptly.
 1 We need cooperation from en- ployers-you Associate Collect ors"-in early preparation of Forms WIZ and W-2a. giving em- ployees their wage and withhold ing figures as early in January as possible
 We need cooperation from tax payers in two respects: CD Great CT numbers should file in the slack period from about January 20 to February 25. This would provide a steady flow of work for our special crew of 72 employees and for the regulars assigned to refund duties. @ More taxpayers should prepare their own returns and seek less assistance from dep uties, thus freeing them for other work.
 With such cooperation we can get more dollars rolling in Febru- ary March and April. And it is with hope of realizing that accom- plishment that I address this ap- peal to you. I am aware that most of you are burdened, but won't you please do your part and urge all your employees to do theirs?
 Very truly yours,
 CLARK SQUIRE,
 Collector.

Territory Asks Reductions In Steamship Rates
Continued from Page One)

maintained as fair and reason able" The industry brief makes no argument with respect to the general Alaska rate level, but does contend that "the present rates have dangerously approach ed the breaking point whereby the canned salmon industry can no longer afford to follow a pol icy of giving its business to the Alaska carriers"
 In a brief presented on behalf of the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, Norman C. Stines con- tends that the 1947 rate increases were made in such manner as to discriminate against Fairbanks. "The rates now in force are very high," he says, "and only add to the number of difficulties under which shippers over the Alaska Railroad conduct their business eS."
 The Fairbanks brief urges that the Alaska Steamship Company and Northland Transportation Company, which "are really owned by the same interests, . :. should be made to consolidate" and the resulting savings in over- tapping costs be applied to all Alaska rates. It also advocates use of mechanical equipment for more rapid and efficient handling of cargo and suggests that confer ences might be held between car riers and shippers so that frequen- cy of sailings from Seattle can be altered to "inSure a full load to each freight vessel" The Alaska Development Board has presented an exhibit showing that more than two-thirds of the northbound sail ings were with vessels loaded at less than 50 per cent of capacity
 The brief by Alaska Steam Northland's attorneys terms the whole proceeding ''premature" and asks that it be dismissed with a finding that mo unlawfulneSs or unjust or unreasonable dis crimination" has been shown by the carriers. This brief comments the testimony presented at the hearing by w. C. Arnold, director of the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc, and quotes its own witness Dr. Henry A. Burd, professor of marketing at the University of Washington, that he found in Alaska mo effect of freight costs upon retail prices"
 While joining the other carriers in arguing that the four-month period under study in the case was inadequate to determine whe- ther rates were just or unreason- able, the Alaska Transportation Company, unlike Alaska Steam Northland, asked that the pro- ceeding be held open until more experience is available for study Land the effect of new legislation by Congress can be appraised The ATCO brief, signed by Albert E. Stephan, contends that operat ing results of the other companies are distorted "by Alaska Steam's permitting Northland to pick up their combined share of the mili- tary cargo" It also asks the com mission to deduct from Northland accounts the revenues from alleg- edly "illegal operations" by that company outside the territory aS-
