Mines Still With Us

Transatlantic passengers hardly need be alarmed about current reports which tell us that here and there in the open seas mines still floating. While a total of 200 ships have been sunk damaged by floating weapons since the close of World War II, major disaster has taken place. And, with each passing week. the possibility of such accident be- comes more and more remote.
 Ships which have been completely disabled have been smaller craft Most passenger liners large and constructed that the impact of simple mine, while it might bring considerable damage probably would not be fatal" Radar detecting apparatus in on most of the larger liners, also makes such accident most improbable
 But the fact remains that mines still are afloat- and probably will be for time Fact is sweepers not long ago up with mine built for World War I-provng that these weapons have considerable endurance.
 It is good to know, then that most of the western powers continuing almost unabated their efforts to seek out and remove from the high each and every, explosive weapon. Most of them of course were taken up as soon hostlites ceased The ones causing trouble today those which broke away from their established moorngs and went off little explorations of their own, currents acting as their means of locomotion.

NO SALES TAX? WHOSE FAULT IS TT?

During a weekend busy with speech making Gov Gruenng at Stka and Fairbanks repeated again that Nowhere else under the flag does there exist a political entity which has neither property tax nor an income tax sales tax for State or Ter ritorial purposes
 s Tn Fairbanks his deniinciation of members of the Territorial Legislature whose performance he term ed shocking was centered their failure to enact Territorial tax legislation he recommended.
 He directed his sharpest attacks says the Fair banks Miner of September 8, at representatives of the Fourth Division
 On March lO 1947 the forty-third day of the eighteenth session the Territorial Legislature Rep resentative Maurice Johnson of the Fourth Division introduced House Bill l16 entitled An Act evying tax on gross from retail sales services per- formed and gross wholesale sales, defining violations, prescribing punishment therefor; and declaring an emergency
 Follow the bill through the Journal of the House, and one finds that the 48th day of the session it was reported out of committee with the recom- mendation that it do pass with amendments The report was signed by Maurice Johnson chairman Of the Judiciary Committee and concurred in by Messrs Hoopes Laws Vukovich and Dewey Anderson. Mir Egan did not concur.
 On the 5oth day, the Sales Tax Bill was read the second time and the Judiciary Committee amend as ments adopted s4sfss etft

GENERAL MOTORS MEN
 INVOLVED

Meanwhile, this columnist has secured photostats of cancelled checks indicating that Michigan businessmen thumbed their noses at the Corrupt Practices Act in raising money for the Republican Party. Two General Motors off cials are implicated, plus eleven General Motors dealers in Genesee County and Arthur Summerfield himself
 One photostat is check No. 402- 99 for $500 by the lGenesee Motors Co., signed by Ralph Burgess, Pres ident, and dated Aug. 29, 1946. It is brazenly made payable to the Republican State Committee. This is an open-and-shut violation of both the Federal Corrupt Prac- tices Act and of the law of Mich igan. MT. Burgess is a Cadillac and Pontiac dealer.
 Another check is even more in- teresting. Dated Oct. 30, 1946, it is signed by Otto P. Graft of Flint. Mich. Ford and Lincoln dealer. The check is for $500 and is payable to the Ford Motor Co. On the back, the check is endors- ed in longhard Ford Motor Co.,, H. Lincoln
 A comparison of this check and
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-09-13

others signed by Otto Graf to the Ford Motor Company show that the endorsement is an obvious forgery. Furthermore, investigators have obtained an admission from Mir Graft that the $500 went not to Ford but to the COP campaign chest. The Ford Motor Company never endorsed the check, never saw the check, and was not involv- ed.
 But by making the check payable to Ford, the $500 was tax-deduct- ible as business expense, whereas a campaign contribution from a corporation is not only illegal, but not tax-deductible.

 One case they nave unearthed is against William Muller, a Penn sauken, N. J. real estate dealer, accused of overcharging veteran George McCann for a home. An appraisal value of $5,0O0 was plac- ed on the home by the Veterans Administration, but Muller charged

RUSSIAN ARMS TO PALESTINE

There was little talk about Pal estine when President Truman met with leaders of the Jewish war veterans the other day. Nation al Commander Julius Klein of Chicago and his associates were chiefly interested in promoting ac- tion on Federal public-housing program and other vet-aid mea- sures.
 The President, however, again stressed the responsibility of the United States in settling the bit ter. conflict between Jewish and Arab forces. Pointing to a world globe in his office, he remarked l:
 Unless we- can. prevent further hostilities in the Near East, it may be the starting point of an other war that could easily spread all over that. globe
 Truman also told Klein that the United States was running into a little Russian competition in Palestine. He referred to news paper reports that satellite Czecho- slovakia was secretly sending arms to the Israeli army.
 MT. President" replied Klein, my organization is not a Zionist group. Its members are Jews whose chief purpose is advancing the welfare of the United States. As such, we hate like the devil for the Jews in Palestine to be getting arms from g nondemocratic source.

one of the most controversial figures in Republican politics. COP Mich lean leaders have -poohed this probe. but nevertheless, the aver age Michigan voter has an uneasy hunch that something is rotten high up in COP officialdom.
 Not only is the Federal Govern ment Investigating. but Michigan's Attorney General, Eugene Black, himself Republican, attempted to nvestigate-until he was ham, strung by Governor Sigler and the local courts. Many other Repub- licans quietly agreed with Black that a cleanup is due in Michi- gan's Republicanism.

HOW COP WON CONGRESS

Through this and other means, Michigan Republicans raised a huge campaign chest in the Con- gressional campaign of l946. It is interesting to note that this was the year which won COP control of Congress.
 One of the most active COP money raising committees was that in Genesee County, where General Motors Bucks are built. Main springs of this committee were COP National Committeeman Ar thur Summerfield, w. F. Huff steader, general sales manager for Buick, who was a COP delegate to the Philadelphia Convention, plus Harry Gault A General Mot ors lawyer.
 These three raised thousands of dollars for the COP campaign. But examination of their bank records shows that in many cases they Jailed to file With the State or Federal Government stating where the money came from. This again was in violation of the Corrupt Practices Act, both State and Federal.
 These are few of the facts which some Michigan Republicans have tried to bring out, but have been squelched by the COP mach inc. These are also some of the facts which will rock the nation with major political scandal if the Justice Department has the courage to dig into them. MORE HOUSING FRAUDS

The House Public Lands Com mittee has reported favorably to the House on Delegate Bartletts bill, H. R. 5244. which seeks to liberalize existing provisions of law allowing credit in connection with certain homestead entries for military or naval service ren- dered during World War H.
 Through law enacted four years ago, any person who served in the armed forces not less than 90 days and was honorably dis charged is entitled to have a per iod equal to the term of his ser vice, not exceeding two years, de- ducted from the three years resi- dence and cultivation require ments under the homestead laws This privilege also extends to 5 acre tract settlement Delegate Bartlett's bill would extend that benefit to veterans of World War II in settling on homesite and headquarter sites.
