Pulp Industry Objects Greatly
 To Property Tax

JUNEAU, (P)-The president of a firm planning a $32,000,000 pulp, plant in Ketchikan told the Sen ate taxation committee here yes terday he believed a proposed one per cent property tax on full value would "put any proposed project right out the window"
 The statement was made by Lawson Turcotte of Bellingham, Wash, president of the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper Co.,, in a discus sion with the committee on plans for the big industrial project and the possible effects of the tax bill which passed the House last week.
 He told the Senators the most of building an Alaska plant and get ting an adequate water supply would compare to a S20,000,00O layout in the Southeastern states
 And if taxed one per cent of full value, no one would come into Alaska on that basis" he declared
 "It's a question we have to set tie before we go ahead"
 He said such a tax would add $3.20 per ton to extra Alaska costs which he described as "already formidable"
 And he estimated the total ex- tra costs of financing, shipping and Canadian rail transportation via Prince Rupert, B. C., would make the cost about SIS per ton above similar Mississippi produc- ton.
 ITO offset this partially we hope we can put bigger logs into the mill cheaper than in the States or British Columbia"
 Mississippi, he said, offers sites

Rocket Plane Goes Faster Than Sound

WASHINGTON, (P) Govern ment officials familiar with the air force Vi rocket test plane said yesterday it has reached more than half way to its ultimate goal of 1,700 mile san hour and 8O,OOO feet altitude.
 They were inclined to question the interpretation given in Cleveland speech by Lawrence D. Bell, president of the company which built the plane, that it has gone the whole way
 The only official statement of the X-1 from the air force is that it has gone hundreds of miles (an hour) faster than the speed of sound" At the high attitudes (above 50,00O feeO where the X-1 performs best, the speed of sound is only 600 miles an hour.
 Unofficial information is that the little planes best speed has been just under 1000 miles an hour, and its best altitude some thing over 60,000 feet.
 The limiting factor thus far has been available power.

U. $. Develops New Atomic Bombs

SHIN GTON, (P) - The United States has new atomic bombs which have much more ex- plosive energy than the old ones, said the atomic energy commis- sion, which has hinted previously that it had developed more pow erful weapons than those dropped on Japan or at Bikini, announced it outright today in its fifth semi annual report to Congress.
 And it said further develop ments are now in progress"
 It related for the first time that the three weapons tested at Eni- Wetok atOll last spring demon strated "a substantial gain in (ex- plosive) energy release" over pre- vious models.
 Chairman David Lilienthal made it clear at a news confer ence that as used in this report" the term atomic weapon means bomb"
 But he declined comment when asked whether the United States is seeking to obtain atomic wea- pOns other than bombs.

Internation1 News At A Glance ---
(By the Associated Press) Monday. January 3l. ls4s

Diplomats studied with wary eyes today prime minister Stalin's latest expression of willingness to discuss an Americana u a n peace pact" with President Tru- man.
 It was not new idea. The Rus sian leader has said similar things before and MT. Truman has of- fered to meet him any time, in Washington.
 One main question buzzed throughout the world capials. Was Stalin's statement prompted by propaganda or a genuine desire for peace?
 In Washington, the state de- partment said no formal approach for a Truman-Stalin meeting had been made by Russia. Many ob- servers wondered if one would be. Stalin's latest pronouncement was made in answer to four questions submitted to him by an American newsman. It is a method he has often chosen to put his ideas be- fore the public.
 It was a busy weekend for the Russians.
 Reaction was still re-echoing in the west over the Soviet foreign office blast against the North At lantic Alliance and the specific

"Luxury'' Taxes May Be Cut

. WASHINGTON, (P) - House Republican leader Martin CMassJ today proposed that Congress cut most excise taxes back to pre-War levels.
 These are the levies, sometimes called "luxury" taxes on theater and movie tickets, railroad fares. furs, luggage, cosmetics and tele- phone bills.
 Martin annuonced he has drawn legislation to cut back these taxes. He issued a statement saying, Congress and the administration can no longer justify the main tenance of high wartime excise rates on a few products of indus try"
 Martins bill skips whisky and tobacco in the list of excises he would slash. The liquor levy would remain at g a gallon, in stead of reverting to the pre-war $2 a gallon. Tobacco taxes would stay where they are.
 Martin made no estimate of how much government revenues would fall if the cuts he asked were made.

JUNEAU, lf)-lne AldSKd Leg iSlature heads into the second week of it's regular session with continued debate on the raw fish tax bill scheduled for the House.
