enemy that finally was being
pushed back beyond her own
borders after her crime against
civilization. Even then she was
plotting that final desperate coup
which ended in the CORY Battle OF
the Bulge. A sad Christmas sea-
son it turned out to be for many
American families.
Today, as the result Of diplo-
matte negotiations over pro-
tracted period. step by step, West
ern Germany is about to be ad-
mitted again to the family OF
nations on our side. The division
between "our" Germany and Rus
sia's Germany, zones which orlgl-
nally were to be one Germany
that both Of us would watch care
fully, was the inevitable result OF
the rift between two war allies,
ourselves and Russia. It is far too
late to go over all that again now.
It has happened.
Other Things Happened, Too.
Some other things have hap
pened, too.
To size them up we must 60
back to our war aims and those
of our allies. They were. simply,
to prevent Germany ever from be-
coming again such a menace to
the peace Of the world and civili-
zation as she had been twice IN
quarter Of century-in 1914
and 1899. To accomplish these
aims, our policy was, first, to
destroy the war potential Of Ger
many and to break up the giant
industrial monopolies or cartels,
with their ramifications all over
Europe and the world. that had
supplied the munitions for the
Nazi onslaught, and which.
through their tie-ups with our
own industry and that Of our
allies, had restricted our own war
preparation. Second, to try the
criminals, both military and in
dustrial, before the world and
through these trials. which were
held subsequently at Nuremberg
to establish q new principle Of
international law that those guilty
of aggressive war must be held ac-
countable.
In keeping with the first aim
German war plants were to be dis
mantled and moved to Allied ma
tions-except oursto provide re-
parations for the destruction in
those nations by the Nazis, which
seemed fair and sound policy. 1t
was subscribed solemnly by us and
our allies. The dismantling,
which proceeded sluggishly, was
successfully limited and the num-
Der Of plants listed for disman-
ting reduced - always over
French and British protest-until
now it is apparently to be abruptly
stopped, largely through our In
fluence.
OF course any such disman-
ting Of productive facilities can
come to appear ill-advised. espe-
cially after the passions Of war
have cooled. A kindly reception Is

being in a convoy and the skipper
Of my LIST was an actors agent
from Hollywood. When I con-
graduated him on the fine course
he was steering, he said:

 Wallgren, former Governor of Washington state, is a close friend of MT Truman. The President has nominated him to be chairman ot the National Resources Board. Cain is fighting against Senate con- firmation of the appointment.
 Cain made public letters to the President and to John R. Steelman, Q presidential aide In his letter to steelman, Cain expressed hope that the President will come to under stand that his appointee is not the man to protect America against war, or the man to win il. it comes"
 In substance, that amounted to Gains saying he hoped the Presi- dent would withdraw the nomina- tion.

 Maj Gen. Stanley L. Scott said in event of an attack the Army would put up fight, but results would depend on the nature of the at tacK."
 He said every man is trained, bas his weapons and knows his emergency station during monthly alerts.
 But you can't expect complete combat work from men who are not specifically trained for that as- signment,' Scott said.
 The special troops could no. launch and maintain counter-at- tack against an invading enemy

STATEHOOD
 BILLS ARE
 TAKEN UP
House Territories Subeom Ritiee Acting on Hawaii
 and Alaska Measures

WASHINGTON, March 3.-lR- The House Territories Subcommit- tee today approved statehood for Hawaii.
 The subcommittee acted favorab- ly on a bill by Delegate Joseph R. Harrington R-Hawaii, after a brief hearing and review of prev ious Congressional Investigations.
 Chairman Redden (D-NC) told reporters the subcommittee's action in closed session was unanimous.
 The subcommittee voted to urge the full Public Lands Committee to approve the bill for House ac- ton.
 A bill to admit Alaska to the un- ion as 2 state will be considered tomorrow q am. PST) by the same committee.
 No opposition witnesses appeared at the Hawaii statehood hearing today.
 Reps. Larcade (D-La), Mansfield D-Mont), and Hale (R-Maine) spoke briefly in support of Hawaii's admission as the 18th state. Hawaiian statehood was approv- ed by the House in l947, but the bill died without action in the Sem tate.
 Alaska statehood was approved last year by the House Public Lands Committee, of which the Territories Subcommittee is part, but the bill failed to reach a vote in the House.
 Chairman Redden tD-NC) weeks ago urged subcommitte members to read the record of hearings con- ducted on the statehood question in the past Congress. He said he felt that no purpose would be serv- ed in duplicating testimony al- ready in the committee files.
 Delegate Joseph H. Harrington (R-Hawaii) was prepared to sum- marize Hawaii's plea for statehood which began in 1903.
 Delegate E.. L. Bartlett D-Al- aska) will speak on the Alaska bill.
 Hawaii, with a population in ex- cess of 500,000, has more people than any other territory at the time of admission to the union. ex- cept Oklahoma.
 Alaska became a possession of the United States in 1867 and an in- corporated Territory in 1912.
 Voters in Alaska in 1945 approv- ed statehood by vote of 3 to 2.
 The Puhlic Lands Committee com- cluded last year that the Territory, having population of about 85,000, is ready to assume the responsi- bilities of statehood.

 kd University Board
By BOB DeARMOND

The appointment of four men to the Board of Regents of the Uni yersity of Alaska were confirmed this morning by the Senate and House of Representatives in joint session.
 The four are. Walter T. Stuart ot Kechikan, reappointed, to serve un- til February, 1947; Leo F. Rhode of Hawk Inlet, to fill the unexpir- ed term of the late O. D. Cochran of Nome and to serve until Febru- ary, 1855; William A. O'Neill of Anchorage, to fill the unexpired term of the late Thomas M. Don- ohue of Anchorage and to serve until February, 1857; Dr. c. Earl Albrecht, Territorial Commissioner of Health, to fill the unexpired term of J. w. Gilson. Valdez bank CT, who recently resigned from the Board. Dr. Albrecht will serve un- til February, 1851.
 A roll call of the 40 members of the Legislature was made on each of the appointments. Three of the appointments were unanimously ap- proved; Senators Jones and Munz voted III the negative on the ap- pointment of Dr. Albrecht.
 To Ratify Agreement
 Senator Andrew Nerland, presi- dent of the Board of Regents. requested the joint session for con- firmation of the four appointments.
 In answer to a question, Senator Nerland explained that it is urgent that the full Board hold an early meeting to consider and ratify an agreement between the University and the United States Department of Agriculture.
 The selection of new president for the University, Senator Nerland said, is of secondary consideration at this time, although applications recently received will be studied. He pointed out that the term of Dr. c. E. Bunnell as University presi- dent doesn't expire until July l.
 Governor On Taxes

 The letter, in reply to one re- gently received hS the Governor from Johnson. The engineer had labeled present. and contemplated taxes in Alaska "a hazard to the investment Of capital in the Terri tory" and expressed the belief that the present tax program lis ex- tremely inopportune.
 The Governor, in his reply, called Johnson's impressions of tax legis- lation in the Territory wholly er- roneous' and said they may have been based upon statements issued by the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce which were entirely false and verged on the hysterical

REVISED ACT HAS ! MAIN
 x(HANGE5
Ship Crews Section CIari- fied-Hope 10 Avoid
 Legality Tests
By JIM HUTCHINSON


 Alaska's new graduated income tax law came back to the legisla- ture today for re-enactment and tightening.
 The principal revisions are to clarify it's application to personnel on ships in the scheduled Alaska trade and to clear the way for wage earners to make, claims for overpayment in withholdings from i: their paychecks.
 1t was reintroduced by Rep. Will jam Egan. Democrat from Valdez. He and Speaker Stanley McCutch- | con said the reintroduction also in- i intended to insure against any court challenge of the legality of it's ori- ginal enactment by the special ses- sion.
 The tax remains at the same 10 percent of a persons or firms Fed aral income tax payment. .
 Qualification
 The clarification of the ship per- scnnel tax was dictated by court challenges filed by unions in Be- attle. The revision is intended to make more certain of tax collec- tions from the ships personnel, by company withholding. despite the attempts of the unions to have the courts rule against it. The ship crew clause reads that the tax shall apply to that por- ion of the voyage pay of vessel personnel of interstate or foreign i carriers engaged in Alaska trade which is earned in waters of AL aska, including the continental sheli. The tax shall likewise apply . to that portion of pay earned in Alaska of personnel of carriers op- erating vehicles or airplanes on land or in the air on routes to and from Alaska
 Another change exempts the mili- tary pay of armed forces personnel who are not legal residents of the territory.
 The bill contains section re- pealing the law enacted by the special session, but declaring: Tax withholdings effected and other ad- ministratiye steps taken hereunder are hereby ratified and confirmed and made applicable hereunder so far as conformable." An emergency clause would make the new act effective immeditely upon passage by the legislature and signing by the Governor. Both are taken for granted. The ship clause reference to foreign carriers would mean the inclus.cn of Canadian ships plying in regular Alaska trade. That would cover the ships calling at Skagway on the supply run for Whitehorse. Rivers Explanation Attorney General Ralph Rivers said the ship personnel clause was revised to make 1t definitely and specifically applicable only to ships in scheduled Alaska trade. exempt ing vessels which are only ''cas- ually" in Alaska waters. Rivers explained that the clause allowing claims for overpayment through withholding of the tax is intended to allow wage earners equality with persons who are not subject to withholding. It is de- signed to eliminate any chance of legal challenge of discrimination.
 If workers from the state make pig money for few months in AL aska. with consequent large with holding tax, and then have low in comes in the state for the rest of the year, they would be able to file returns and ask for overpayment refunds on the basis of their fed sral Income tax for the total years earnings
