JENSEN CLARIFIES MI5UNDERSTANDINC ON FlSHERIES TAX

Macus Jensen, First Division Democrat who introduced House Bills 3, and pertaining to tax ing and licensing of commercial fisheries, fishermen, fish traps n fact all phases of the fishing in dustry finds himself in the middle of controversy over the bills.
 To ease doubts about the bills, Representative Jensen today made this statement:
 "To clarity any misunderstand- ing among the fishermen, as to the Fisheries bills introduced, I'd like say this These bills are merely 1asic bills from which to start. The ime being short. it was impossible to incorporate all the problems of he industry in these bills. It is gery possible that many amend nents will be made to equalize the tax, and make adjustments where they are needed. It is our intent to make the component parts of the tax structure balance, or the result ,ould be as harmful to the Terri tory as too heavy taxation. I will make a personal effort to see that no part of the industry is overtaxed.'

BOND ISSUE FOR
 ADDED PAVING
 CARRIES 223-45

Juneau taxpayers yesterday vot- ed 233 to 45 for S260,000 bond issue to provide paving besides that for which a contract has been let in the amount of S173.250.50.
 The combined contract will mean nearly 100 blocks of new paving.
 This will provide virtually com- plete street paving within the city limits. from the Thane road on the south to the northwest boundary and the Glacier Highway, on which extensive paving will begin about the same time in the spring.
 By their vote, Juneau citizens added $260000 to the S322, ,000 ex- isting bonded indebtedness. to make a total of S582,000.
 Proceeds of the bond sale will be used for additional street sur facing and sewer repairs and inn provements, and for additional sur facing and resurfacing of streets and sidewalks within the city
 
 Some l,200 taxpayers were quail fled to vote, but the total number of ballots cast was 269. (One vote was irregular and had to be re- jected)
 Yesterdays vote gave a wide mar gin of certainty, as 65 per cent in this case, 174 votes-of the votes cast were needed to pass the pro- poSal
 At the last previous special municipal election, the vote was 194 for and five against a S50,000 bond issue for the municipal air port building, which is nearly com pleted Before that, on April 29, Juneau voted BOA to 60 for S150,0O0 worth of street paving.
 With Jack Popejoy, City Clerk, to check the taxpayers list and registration records, judges and clerks had a slow day. One of Popejoy's unpleasant tasks was to turn away about 50 persons who thought they could vote, but were not eligible to do so.
 Promptly at 2 pm. the polls closed, and by 7:22, the count was completed.
 Judges were Mrs. Beatrice Albe- golf, Mrs. Robert Burns and Mrs. Jensen.

FACING FISCAL FACTS

Neither President Truman nor
Congress is facing up to the act
ual financial position of the United
States.
The President has just declared
that he stands on h is January
proposal for $4,000, 900, 600 in new
taxes. In his press conference
Mr.. Truman put the emphasis on
debt payments, and at first only
said that the amount of taxes
would depend on ''how things
worked out" But when pressed
he refused to retreat from the
81, 900, 900, 900 figure. In doing so
it seems to us he fails to recognize
the danger in piling on taxes at
a time when business is declin-
ing. His own economic advisers
are reported in favor of some tax
cuts.
For its part, Congress blithely
goes ahead adding to the costs of
government. The Senate has just
voted a SO, 900, 900. 900 appropria-
tons bill for the Treasury n d
Post Office, not merely rejecting
pleas for a S per cent reduction
but actually lacking on $40, 000,-
600 more than the House had ap-
proved. A couple of weeks ago
the House added more t han q
billion to the bill for armed ser
vices. In all this it seems to US
Congress is failing to recognize
the danger of an unbalanced bud
get.
For federal expenses are being
pushed up at the very time fed
eral revenues are declining. And
even without Congress buying"
any hew spending projects costs
ar e mounting. The decline in
farm prices adds to the bill for
supporting farm prices. Slower
business is sending more service
men back to college-and lifting
the expected bill for CT benefits.
The cost of arming Americas
allies is likely to u n to another
billion.
1t may be that Mr.. Truman is
not looking backward to imitation
days in sticking to his tax plan,
but rather looking ahead to defla-
ton days. He may have advance
notice that tax returns are not
coming up to estimates for this
year, and that next years rev.
enues will be sharply down. We

Gas Station Worker
Injured by Woman

A 6-foot gas station attendant
went to the hospital last night with
eye and nose cuts which he received,
he said, when a woman motorist
hurled a gas tank cap at him after
dispute over gasoline prices with
another attendant.
The victim was Leonard F. Cox,
q, of PAIL North Capitol street. A
Government employe, he was as
sisting regular attendant at the
station at 424 Rhode Island ave-
nue. NE.
He described the woman as small
and dark haired. Police of the 18th
precinct questioned her after she
was apprehended by College Park
police on lookout, but placed no
charge against her after she gave
Mr.. Cox IS check to replace his
glasses. They said she lives in Bal
timore.
Mr.. Cox said the woman threw
the tank-cap after picking it up
from another car being serviced in
the station. He took no part in the
argument over prices, he added.
Mr. Cox said another factor in
his decision not to press assault
charges was because the woman
said her two children, who were in
the back of the station wagan, were
"on the verge of pneumonia"

Truman MESSAGE
To Israel Delayed
By Postage Error
Ry the Asseeiofed Press

TEL AVN. Israel, Jan. 7l.-A
story going the rounds among high
officials here is that postage stamp
economy in Washington delayed for
weeks an important statement Of
President Truman on Israel.
No high official will say the story
is true. But all agree they heard
the story and that it goes this way:
President Truman sent a letter
replying to greetings Of Israels pro-
visional President, DR.. Chain Weiz-
mann. on Mr.. Truman's reelection.
The letter was said to have prom
ised that the President would carry
out all his campaign pledges re-
garding Israel, including an Amerl-
can loan, complete de jure recogni-
ton of Israel as soon as she holds
elections and support Of 1srael's ter
ritorial claims to all she was given
by United Nation partition.
The letter was posted immediate
ly after Mr.. Truman's election. but
reached DR.. Weizmann only this
week. A clerk had put scent
stamp on the envelope and 1t came
by slow boat mail.

Man Fined on Drunk Charge
Brought in April by Wife

A 37-year- -old man was fined $15
in Municipal Court today on a
charge of drunkenness brought by
his wife last April and held in abey-
ance until last night.
In imposing the fine on Bernard
c. Snellings, 4600 block of Hilltop
terrace Sc, Judge John P. NC
Mahon called the attention Of police
to the fact that they should serve
warrants within reasonable time u
Mrs Snellings said she had OBJ
tanned the warrant after her hus-
band became intoxicated at home
April 81, but had asked that the
warrant not be served until I need
it."
She said her husband misbehaved
against last night and the April
warrant was served by 14th precinct
police.
Judge Mcmahon pointed out that
under such circumstances, COM
plainant should withdraw the war
rant and institute new complaint
when action is considered necessary.
When a warrant is issued by this
court, it Is the duty of the Police
Department to serve 1t within a
reasonable time, not hold it up SIM
ply because some one asks them to
hold it up," Judge Mcmahon said

assistance for the second year of
the Marshall Plan in Europe, but
also a plan for giving military arms
and equipment to friendly nations,
particularly those in Western Eu-
rope.
Finally is the detailed plan for
raising living standards by increas-
ing production in the backward
areas of the world.
!, officials who have been doing
sdr11e spadework on this project
foresee the possibility of moves in
several directions. In the next
few weeks they expect responses
from industrialized foreign nations
such as Britain and France. to Mr..
Truman's call for joint action.
Several Methods Available.
While Mr.. Trumans own views
on guaranteeing capital investment
are unknown, several methods
seem to be under study in the State
Department and elsewhere in the
Government.
One would be Tor the Government
probably through the Economic
Cooperation Administration and
the Export Import Bank-to guar
antee that income earned in a for
eign currency would be paid to an
American investor, for example, in
dollars.
ECA has limited authority of that
kind now and the President might
ask Congress to expand it: he could
also ask that such authority be
granted the Export Import Bank.
Another guarantee could be for
those American Government agen-
cies to assure the investor against
losses resulting from civil strife,
appropriation or other hazards which
may be encountered in many areas
of the world. This also would re-
quire action by Congress.
The investor for his part would
have to assume obligations, accord
ing to the Presidents message, to
develop his enterprise for the bene-

About midway was Senator Taft,

investments abroad which he
stressed must go along with the pro-
jected furnishing of capital.
It is taken for granted that Mr..
Truman has something definite in
mind, and that in good time this will
be disclosed.
In returning to the State Depart
ment which he left 10 months ago,
Mr.. Acheson will be faced with three
immediate problems which the Pres
ident outlined yesterday.
Security Treaty First.
First comes completion of the
draft Of a North Atlantic security
treaty binding the United States
and Canada in a military alliance
with the key nations of Western
Europe. This treaty should be ready
to 60 to the Senate by the middle
of next month.
Next is final development Of an
overall foreign aid program. This
would include not only economic
