ALASKA'S INTERNAL U. s. TAXES

ALASKAS INTERNAL U. S. TAXES-$1S, 1885, ,O47 52
 Taxes collected by Uncle Sam in the Territory of Alaska jumped by than $30O0,000 in fiscal 1948 over the previous year acordng to figures released to the Alaska Development board by the Collector of In terna Revenue for the Washington and Alaska district at Tacoma
 In the year ending June 30, 1948 total internal rev. enue collections in Alaska were $18885 47 52 These compare with total of $15, ,827, ,37O49 in 1947
 Income tax totals reported for the Territory of Alaska include only those paid by corporations adn individuals within Alaska They do not include the very substantial payments by outside corporations or individuals who conduct all part of their activities in the Territory Most of Alaskas salmon canneries, for instance would fall in this category and thus would not be included in the figures given
 The large increase in Alaska collections came despite tax rate reductions during the year and evidence o increasing activity and prosperity in the Territory the Alaska Development Board believes. Increases were noted in all classes of collections including corporation individual withholding and other The largest increase however, in the withholding tax which went up by almost $2, 100000 over the previous fiscal year.

 fire safety committee has not been formed in your community, now is the time to promote fire safety committee within each group or segment in your com munity.
 Nearly every man. woman and youth in the nation is member of some organzation,-such veterans post, service club womens club, insurance agents sociaon, Scout troop, fraternity church One ndi vdua entirely on his own may do good job of preach ing fire safety but he will make very small dent in the wall of public indifference By using this drive and effort among the members of his group he may be able to organize fire prevention committee. repre- sentative of that committee work with members of similar committees of other groups and eventually working community fire safety committee will evolve.
 Since last year, scores of effective community fire safety committees have been organized result of the recommendation of the Presidents Conference Fire Prevention.

 ' The United States indicted Rus sia today before the United Ma tions security council on a charge # menacing peace with the "starv- ation" blockade of Berlin.
 Surprisingly, Russia's Andrei Vishinsky attended the session, which he had asserted was illegal and indicated he would boycott. He first took copious notes as -,hilip C. Jessup ran up the charges against the Soviet Union; then he took out a French Socialist news paper and started to read as if bored. He left the session raging at newspapermen.
 Jessup, a Columbia university professor, declared the United States is determined "to take such measures as may be necessary to insure the safety and subsistence of our forces in Berlin and of the 2,500,000 population committed to their charge by the four power agreement"
 He accused Russia of trying to force the western powers from Berlin. He said the blockade pre- vents free negotiations but that the U. s. is willing to talk on all points about Germany "the moment the blockade is lifted" Russia blocked the land routes in June but has as- serted several times of late that here is no blockade.
 Jessup accused Russia of starv- ing Berlin. He called her offer to eed the western zones propagan- da. He accused the Soviets of ere ating organized and inspired mob violence" and with welshing on a directive agreed upon with Prime Minister Stalin in Moscow for lift ing the blockade, by making a fresh demand for permanent con- trol of traffic, including the air lift, from Berlin to the west. WASHINGTON - Presi d t Truman summoned Secretary of State Marshall home from Paris by Saturday for a report. John Foster Dulles, another U.

(Fish and Widlife Service)
 This chart demonstrates the appalling decline of re- that can be worth 10 million dollars year to Southeastern Alaskas fishermen and 40 millions year to it's packers It reveals alarming drop in the indus try that has been the chief support of the region.
 During the last years when the Southeastern salmon
 fishery has been subjected to the heaviest pressure by vessels and other gear the lowest packs in history have been recorded The economy of the entire Territory has been seriously affected and unless something is done restore the pink salmon fishery of the Panhandle to healthy fully productive condition, the various munities will suffer immeasurably
 This fall the Fish and Wildlfe Service will once again hold public hearings in Alaskas fishing villages Local people will be asked to advise how the fisheries can be effectively managed. They will be counseled to look ahead probably to make temporary sacrifices in order to bring the pink salmon back to former levels. In previous hearings effective action has been ham, pered by contrasting and conflicting opinions. This year the gravity of the situation demands constructive action.
 Albert M. Day, Director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, says "No be interested in the fu- ture of the salmon resource than the people who make their living from them No group should be better qua flied to recommend of bringing the salmon runs pressure the pink salmon fishery since the beginning of the war; the inadequate biological and enforcement stas that have been available to the Service and the public apathy which has led violations of the regua ons have all combined to bring about the present sorry plight This fishery can be rehabated but only if we squarely face the situation Adequate spawners must reach the streams at the price of temporary losses This can be accomplished only through the close coop eraon of the packers the fishermen and the Fish and Wildlife Service"

Pope Reaffirms Stand
AGAINST .TotaIitarianism
BY the Associotsd Press

VATICAN CITY, Nov. /. - Pope
Plus XII reaffirmed yesterday the
Roman Catholic Church's opposition
to totalitarianism.
He spoke to 1000 automobile
workers from Turin and Rome at
the summer apostolic palace at
Castel Grandolfo. The Vatican re-
leased the text of the address today.
The Pope assailed those who. in
declaring that their own system is
the only one truly social, do not
defend the personal dignity of the
worker, but make of his productive
capacity a simple object of which
society disposes at its will"
He said religion is the true guar
antee Of the dignity of the worker, -
The Pope said the church holds
that human liberty has its limits in
divine law and In the multiple duties
that life brings with it; but at the
same time it endeavors, and will
endeavor to the end Ito see) that
each. in the happiness of the home
and in tranquil and honest condi-
tions, may pass his days in peace
with God and men,"

were not included in the social Sc
curity system. He promised that
they and the other groups not now
in the system would be included In
social security under his admins
ttration. -
The tone of Mr.. Dewey's remarks
was very friendly, leading several
Government union officials to sur
mise that he wouldn't do anything
to decrease Federal workers retire
ment and dependency benefits. They
hopefully point out that Gov
Dewey's theme was that old age de-
pendency benefits must be strength
ened, not weakened.
But they want to make sure that
Mr. Dewey, If elected, fully under
stands the situation and is sympa-
thetic to their cause That is
why they plan to contact Mr.. Dewey
and his aides on the matter as
soon as possible, If the Republicans
win the election tomorrow.
Government employees groups
have always felt that inclusion of
Federal workers in social security
benefits would be the first step in
the eventual undermining of the
civil service retirement system.
They point out that, If Government
employees were included under social
security, it would be the signal for
future Congress to rescind their
civil service retirement benefits.
Social security officials severai
times have attempted to have Fed
eral workers brought under the So
cial security system, but Govern
ment employees have always success
fully fought this move.
FEPC-The first cases to come
before the Governments Fair En-
ployment Practices Board are likely
ito result from the Bureau of Print
ing and Engraving's action in re-
fusing to give Its lower-salaried
employees chance to take examina-
tions for printers apprentices jobs.
These jobs would have given the
employees chance to become even
tually full-fledged printers. The
BPE originally scheduled the exam,
then suddenly reversed itself after
the powerful printing unions OBJ
jected to the plan The unions
asserted there were enough outside
journeymen printers available to
make the exam unnecessary.
Some of the employees who had
planned to take the exam are
Negroes. Consequently, the ,CIO
United Public Workers of America,
to which some of them belong, plans
to take the case to the Federal
FEPC board. UPWA will contend
that, since this will be the only
opportunity for these employees to
become regular printers. it is dis.
