get 100 per cent freight rate increase requested by the War Shipping Administration in l945
 Sundborg states in this letter that the advice of this newspaper that the Territory should lie down and let the steamship companies have whatever the Maritime Commission lets them take away from the public"
 This is a silly question, but it represents atti tude on the part of Territorial officials and their expensive experts which has done the people of Alaska no good
 It is predicated upon the belief that the Mari time Commission exists only the purpose of bleed ing the people of Alaska and giving as much as possible to the steamship companies unless someone objects
 It seems to us that the Maritime Commission has been very fair with Alaska and also with the steam ship companies.
 Unlike our Territorial officials the Maritime Con- mission recognizes that steamship operators should be allowed to make profit their investments But the Maritime Commission also admits that because of the high costs the rates too high to aid the development of Alaska. As attempt to operate under more reasonable rates while permanent solu- ton is worked out the present interim agreement was put into effect under which rates increased s5 per cent an dthe operators subsidized 50 per cent
 In other words, the Maritime Commission recog- nized that if the operators to make reasonable profit rates would to be increased 85 per cent.
 So far no other solution has been offered A brief filed by Maritime Commission attorneys the hearing suggested should be lowered through an additional subsidy.
 However the latest move the part of the Terri tory has been ask that the present operating agree ment be canceled. This would mean, unless another solution is found that rates would automatically be raised another 50 per cent.

EISENHOWER MAY
 NOW GET LINEUP
 IN PENNSYLVANIA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-tRl- The daring young men on the Eisenhower for President political trapeze today threatened to upset Republican party calculations with flyer into the April 27 Penn sylvania primary
 Unabashed by the Generals newest but secondhand disavowal of political desires, the Pennsyl- vania draft Eisenhower league an- nounced at Harrisburg that slate of delegates will be entered for the retiring Army Chief of Staff.
 Thus Pennsylvania, with 73 na- ticnal convention votes. offers possible second testing ground for those who think Dwight D. Eisen- hover ought to he the Republican nominee and insist they intend to proceed along that line, come what may.
 A Democratic National Commit tee official who didn't want to be identified by name said he thinks Eisenhower is flirting with the idea of running, but may not have made up his mind.

MORE ON SHIPPING

We are in receipt of a letter from George Suno- borg Alaska Development Board consultant' pointing out that we are in error in stating that the rate nyestigations have cost the Territory approxmately S5oOOo so far.
 Sundborg points out that according to his figures to date the Alaska Development Board has spent S2z 4los8 the Attorney General $51s3o7, and from the Emergency Fund S25o or a total of S27S44O5 on rate cases of all kinds
 It seems to us that this figure is too low In checking vouchers paid by the Territory we find that the following three experts hired by the Territory III the rate cases were reimbursed as follows
 Davd Scou s22520O0
 Donald J. OConnor .~.-. l,275.oo
 Malcolm Miller .....-.... 1,50OO0
 Scoll and O'Connor it seems were paid at the rate of s85 per day for services Of course they may have been movie stars in disguise Miller on the other hand has been engaged as special counsel and has received three flat payments of $500 each to date
 scon is a Washington, D. C., attorney. OConhof is an economist and Miller attorney, also both or Washington Miller and OConnor were with the OpA in Alaska during the war and are well known by our local businessmen.
 Other costs which might be charged to the rate hearings are difficult to segregate but must exist
 Sundborg also claims that the hearings over the last three years have resulted savings of S132875t to Alaskans in rates for steamers terminal charges and lighterage rates
 Of this figure S1200O000 is the estimated saving from the fact that the steamship companies didn

BATTLE OVER FILM RIGHTS

The battle over film rights to Davis and Blanchard never leak cd out, but it ragged over the Ar my's head for several weeks, While the two backfield aces were still at West Point, Astor Pictures filmed some of their football adventures under Army Navy jurisdiction. The shots were blown up into two reel short, called, Game of Games"
 Later Bro-Rog Pictures produc- cd the Spirit of West Point" fea- turing Davis and Blanchard with out benefit of the Army's bless ings When both pictures hit the box office about the same time, Bro-Rog fired a sharp letter to Astor.
 The right of commercial motion picture exploitation, wrote Bro- Rogs lawyers, "of the activities of Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis
The Daily Alaska empire., 1948-01-14

is owned exclusively by Bro-Rog Pictures Corporation. The at- tempted release and advertising of the so-called Game of Games is completely unauthorized and must be ended forthwith
 Astor shot back a countercharge, demanding to know how Bro-Rog picked up scenes from the 1946 Army Navy game which was sup posedly filmed by official cameras. Identical scenes, taken by the Navy Athletic Association cameraman for Astor pictures, appeared in the Bro-Rog production, said the Astor lawyers.
 The fur is still flying, but the Army has it's own troubles. It is short of second lieutenants-with or without trick knees.

THIRD PARTY

Like little hoys who whistle passing a graveyard. Democratic chiefs still pretend they have mo- thing to fear from Henry Wallace s third party movement, though the defection is bound to hurt the par ty in such key states as New York and California.
 Taking their cue from the Pres ident, who refused to dignify Wal lace's bolt broadcast by listening to it, White House aides affect yawns when interviewed on the subject. Privately. they comfort each other with the hope that the Democrats will pick up enough new middle of -the-road support as result of the Wallace break to offset the leftist vote they will lese in the next election.
 To White House callers, Truman has been deftly noncommittal How ever. Democratic Representative George Miller of California crack ed the ice a little the other day when he visited the White House to confer on the new Folsom Dam to be built near Sacramento.
 T think l know the California situation pretty we'll declared Miller, and in my opinion the Wallace threat won't mean much there"

Af- ter all, the taxpayers didn't send him to the Academy to train for a career with the Los Angeles Rams.

Congress and the DPS
(NeW York TimesD

If we are going to do anything, we should do it promptly The next step to be taken IS Legislation by Congress" The crucial word in this statement, by Ugo Carus former Immigration Commissioner, who has just completed a survey of the DIP camps of Europe is the word if For it is not at all clear what Congressional intentions toward the DPS. The story which MT. Carus brought back-his survey was requested by the Presdent-has long been known to Congressmen of both Houses Speedy plans must be made he said by immigrant-receiving countries to absorb the million-odd homeless men women and children for morale is low and getting lower" A logical move felt passage of the Sratton Bill which would admit 100000 a year for four years.
 The DPS themlseves well challenge the ltl- ness" of Congress course. Their protagonlsts from labor government religions civic and industrial groups pleaded their case eoquently before House hearings last June and July. And the hearings-6e3 pages ot them-have been printed for all to read It is docu- ment that puts squarey before Congress the needless suferngs in peace of people who were abused Tn war It is a reminder also of the delaying tactics which hampered consideration of the Stratton Bill by the whole House in the last session If America IS truly "a sanctuary for the persecuted, there can be no if about the next step. That step is action-on the Stratton Bill responsibilities to the forgotten people in the DIP camps

Independent Farmers
Face Income Tax
| DeadIine Wednesday

Bureau OF Internal Revenue ex-
poets a lot Of taxpayers who are
not completely covered under the
"pay-as-you-go" plan to make their
final quarterly income tax payment
for 1s47.
At the same time, farmers, who
were allowed to skip filing declara-
tions Of estimated income last
March, must file their completed
return and pay the 1947 tax in full.
The bureau reminded any citizen,
who may have forgotten, that 1t
works this way:
Taxpayers who filed declarations
Of estimated income last March
were those who expected to have
incomes Of $500 or more and to owe
tax either because their incomes
were not subject to the withholding
tax, or were expected to be in the
higher surtax brackets so the
amount withheld would not meet
the tax obligations or because they
had other income In excess Of 500
from which no tax was to be with
held.
Can Amend Estimate.
When they filed the declaration
In March, they paid the first quar-
terly installment or the whole es-
timated tax. January IS is the
deadline for making the fourth and
final installment and also of max
ing amendments to the estimate.
The ordinary wage Garner, who
has no income other than what he
gets from an employer, need not
worry about January IS. His big
date is March Is, which is the dead
line for filing his 1947 tax return.
This he may do either with the
withholding tax receipt to show the
amount of tax deducted from his
salary or by filling out a longer
form, know as 1040.
March Is is a double-duty dead
line for others including doctors
and lawyers who are not on sal
ary basis. BY that date they must
file the complete return for 1947.
In addition they must file the dec
laration Of estimated income for
1948, accompanied either by the tax
payment in full or the first quarter
ly tnstallment. The complete re-
turn for 1947 also must b. accom-
panied by payment for any tax
still due from last year.
Farmers. incidentally, don't have
to file the declaration of estimated
income on March IS, If they so elect,
because the bureau recognizes that
their income depends on what the
sun, rain and storms do to the
crops.
Brings Earlier Payments.
The "pay-as-you-go" system was
devised by Congress in 1943. The
keystone Of this was the with
holding Of part Of a workers sal
airy. This kept the average man
current in his tax payments through
the year. But it also meant pay
ing tax a year earlier than other
people who were not on a payroll
To get this latter group on the
"pay-as-you-go" plan, 1t was de-
cided they should make all esti-
mate of their tax and make ad
vance payments during the same
year as the income received.
Under this plan, the Government
gets the tax earlier and the man
not on a definite payroll Is on
basis somewhat similar to that OF
the wage Garner whose tax had
been nicked from his pay envelope.
One other thing, the bureau re-
minded, nearly all citizens or resi-
dents of the United States, mar
ried or single, minor or adult, who
had gross income Of $500 or more
in 1947, must file a Federal in
come tax return. Only exceptions
are members of the armed forces,
whose active-service pay is exempt
from tax.
