City Licks Snow
(Anchorage NeWs)

Apparently Anchorage ites like New forkelS cai take their snow in big gobs and when we were ueluseo with an unprecedented fall for this part of the country the reaction on the part of residents was very oeVeS fled. ,,, A,. o,d
 Most got busy with the broad billed shoVelS anu h,rrowed out but some especially those III outylls areas became stymied both mentally ana pnySlcaiiy and annealed to the road commission, the city, tne army and any other agency that couio concelV"oiS blow snow ,, .o,,, +ovod
 Snow removal equipment was Immediately IaAeo to it's limits and with each agency having cel'ai nrescrbed duties to perform there was no tiiie oi em1ipment left for answering calls rom .iie populace even if the various agencies hao tie eauip ment and the authorization to do It.
 On the whole we think the snow sltualon was ndled nicely and speedily considering the 1act that this is a light snow and budgets ana machinery usuallv go for what is considered more necessary apparatus in the construction business.
 We think the city engineering and street depart rent deserves especial credit for the way Ill WHICH It oo, uev and freed the streets of snow The Joo lsn done vet and Engineer Charley Tryck will admit that hut consider again the equipment for removing Sno" if consists of one loader and few trucks ana two oraders After all snow is not usually considered problem in Anchorage. ~ es,o
 But a campaign mapped, the buslest Ualllc or+erias were attacked first and snow removal got underway wtho,t fuss or fanfare until by thls week od the citv expects to have fairly well cleared all over town.

kindness to a little man who had just suffered a slashing political defeat.
 In November, 1946, Harry Tru- mans party lost control ot both Houses of Congress. The blow was so great that most observers pre- dicted Truman could never be re- elected. Even some Democrats, es- pecially Senator Fulbright Of Ar Manassas, suggested that Truman re- sign.
 Truman's trip back to Washing ton from Independence, Mo, where he votes, was almost like a funeral. When he arrived at the union station here, only one mem Der of the cabinet was on hand to meet him, and he wasn't really a member. It was acting Secretary of State Dean Aeheson.
 Acheson rode with the President back to the White House where Truman read over the singeing edl- torial comment and asked Acheson what he should do Acheson was bold and courageous. He advised Truman to issue a dignified, diplo- matic statement urging cooperation between Congress and the White House, pointing to other preced- ents where Presidents had faced hostile Congresses.

MARYLAND FARMER

Despite high position, Acheson has never put on any airs, still likes to do chores around his Mary land farm in old clothes on Sun days. He is up early every morning, despite the fact that he sometimes works well after midnight. At the State Department he juggled his own tray at the government cafe- terra along with clerks and steno- graphers.
 Acheson entered the State De- partment pro-Russian-that Is, In the sense that he felt the United States should do it's best to cooper ate with Russia and that the peace of the world depended on the two countries.
 It was not long after PotSdam, however, that he began to be dis illusioned. Ever since, he has been a consistent, vigorous, bitter non- appeaser.
 Some Senators will doubtless look askance at Acheson's appoint mant because Alger Hiss and oth- CTS. charged with purloining State Department documents, serve d with him, and because Donald Hiss, brother of Alger, is now in the Acheson law firm. That law firm, incidentally, has represented such clients as J. P. Morgan, the Soviet government and the anti-Soyiet Iranian government.
 No one who knows Acheson, however, would even remotely sus- pect him of any toleration of or connection with subversive influ- ences.
 1 Shortly after Byrnes became Secretary of State, Acheson, be-
 lieving the new secretary should have right to pick his own assist
 ant secretary, walked into Byrnes'
 outer office and handed the clerk
 his letter of resignation. Then he
 took a plane up to Saranac, N. Y,
 to visit his sick daughter. ] When he arrived his daughter
 said: Daddy, a man named Byrnes has been trying to get you on the
 phone all day"
 1 Acheson picked up the phone
 called Washington, was asked to
 return to his job, but replied that
 he was in debt and had to devote
 a few years to his family. 1 That evening Byrnes was on the phone again, told Acheson he had

any move that may be based on false premises The income tax bill might well be one that should De halted
 When it was introduced at the last Legislature it was said that the Alaska was based on the income tax law of West Virginia. The Repuohcans contend there is little similarity. They have learned that West Virginia repealed it's income tax ln l94l and does not have any law based on percentage or gross income In fact, the Republicans declare that the West Virginia tax laws just as hodge-pooge as the present Alaska tax laws
 We don't mean to champion the Repuohcah tax measure uneouvocay over the Democratic proposals If the Republican measure would fail to accomplish the ends for which it designed, the Democrats are in position to prove it. If there are oblectlon- able features which have not been brought to lght' the Democrats must do effective job on that score
 But we do not contend that Alaskans want poUh the Republican and Democratic proposals eValuateo obiectively without partisan ferver.
 Alaska must have more revenue The DeihociaOS

 would tan only the business interests ln the lerr!- torv leaving the individuals virtually tax-free
 If there is way for Alaskans to operate thelr oovernment without taxing themselves, the plan Is most attractive to every John Bananas who makes his residence in the north. If such a program IS in,nossibe then the Democratic proposal must De enacted But John Bananas has to be sold on It.

FDR FIRED ACHESON

Acheson is one of the few men ever fired by Franklin Roosevelt who has staged a comeback.
 His mentor throughout the years has been Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who ono e taught him law at Harvard, recom- mended him as secretary to the late Justice Brandeis, and urged FDR to make him solicitor general.
 Instead FDR made Acheson un- dersecretary of the treasury where he was out-of-step and miserable. Dean was more miserable when, one day while waiting in an ante room of the White House, news men came out to tell him that Roosevelt had just announced his resignation.
 He did not know until that mo- ment that he had been fired.

to indict this columnist-a propos- al which Acheson took up ln cabl- net meeting without success.
 Acheson first joined the State Department in 194l as assistant secretary in charge of congression- al relations. He was an immediate success. Congressmen like Speaker Sam Rayburn swore by him. Later as undersecretary, he ran the State Department during the long per iods when Jimmy Byrnes was in Paris, London and Moscow. In that period the State Department prob- ably reached it's peak of efficiency.

 Early next morning Byrnes was again on the phone.
 "Dean," he said, T simply won't take no for an answer. The Presl- dents plane is flying up to Lake Saranac now to pick you up and bring you back here. You've got to come back. We both need you
 Acheson did He remained until General Marshall was appointed to fill Byrnes shoes, and six months later he finally stepped out Of the State Department to which he now returns.

HAS
GREAT DAY
FOR CIN(Y
BY JACK HAND

All Walker Cooper needed was
/ change of scenery-or was 1t a
change of managers?
Big Coop, who popped off pub
licly ABOUT his trials with the New
York Giants under Leo Durocher
sounded off with his big bat yes
terday for his new boss-Bucky
, Walters-at Cincinnati.
Six straight base hits, including
| three three-run homers, added UP
to a big 10 runs batted in Tor the
ex-Giant who went to Cincy for
catcher Ray Mueller on June IA.
Since Coop left the big town he
has been nothing short of sensa-
tional, boosting his average 122
points and increasing his RIBS by
10.
All this humping doesn't make
much difference at Cincy where
the Reds have dipped into seventh
place and are in danger of falling
into the basement. In New York,
a Cooper hitting at that pace
could have made a contender out
of the birthplace Giants.
The big fellow who cost Horace
Stoneham $175,00O in January OF
1916 had the biggest day of his long
career against the Chicago Cubs
yesterday afternoon. 1t was also
the biggest day for the Reds IN
many a day as they rolled up a
23-4 landslide for Ken Raffens-
berger's ninth victory.
REMNANT RACE
The heavy firing in Cincy over
Swallowed the pennant race which
almost-but not quite-resulted in
first place tie. Brooklyn's one
game lead was cut in half when
the Dodgers lost to the Boston
Braves, Us, but the runnerup st.
Louis Cards blew a 81 lead in the
last of the ninth and bowed to
Pittsburgh. 4-3. AS a result the
Brooks still lead by full game.
Tommy Holmes sank the Dodgers
with his third homer in the last
three days. 1t came in the eighth
with Jim Russell on base.
Johnny Hopp was the hero of the
Pirates ninth-inning rally against
the Cards. His single with the
bases loaded scored two runs for
Pittsburgh's fifth straight victory.
Murry Dickson, the ex-Cardinal
who was sold to the Pirates for
$125,0OO, accounted for his third
victory, two owe, ST. Louis, by an
eight-inniing relief job. Dickson has
lost IL.
BIG GAME WASHoUT
Rain washed out Philadelphia
New York games in both the Ma
tional and American. 1t was a
tough blow for the AS who had a
sellout crowd of 1886 IN the stands
! when the game was called after
IL innings with Philadelphia lead
ing the New York Yankees Tommy
Byrne, 10.
Both Cleveland and Detroit lost
ground in the race by dropping
night games but the distanced Bos-
ton Red Sox pulled up over the
500 mark by shutting out Wash
ington, SO, in a game called in the
sixth due to rain.
Ellis Kinder held Washington,
beaten in IL of it's last IA games,

and Jolson is not one to bypass
the fine print in a contract. The
quarter million was his for six

the network strike a deal with a
