ALASKA S FILES
INJUNCTION SUIT
ON INCOME TAX

The Alaska Steamship Company
today filed an injunction suit in
District Court to enjoin the Tax
Commissioner of Alaska from col
Letting income taxes withheld from
the pay of the crews of vessels OPP
Grating between Seattle and Alaska.
The complaint alleges that the
District Court for the Western Dis
trict of Washington has enjoined
the company from payment to the
Territory Of taxes withheld under
the Alaska Net Income Tax Act,
but that this court order, although
binding the company in Seattle, is
10 protection to the company IN
Alaska where the Tax Commissioner
could take action against the COM
pany's property to collect the tax
es.
The Washington court had order
ed the withheld taxes to be placed in
a special trust fund pending de-
termination of the validity OF the
act by the court in Seattle.
The company further alleges that
it has been withholding such taxes
since January 81, 1949, but was
unable to pay the same to the
Territory because of the temporary
injunction issued in Seattle.
The complaint asks for hearing
on whether a temporary inJunc-
tion should he issued, and the court
has set April % for such hearing.
When the case comes on Tor fl
nal determination, the company re-
guests that a permanent injunction
be issued. Seven possible reasons
for the invalidity of the act are
alleged.

TAIL SKI REVERSE
PUTS FW5 PLANE,
$1,000 CRA(kUp

Clarence j. Rhode, Alaska direc-
tor of the us. Fish and Wildlife
Service, sadly reports that the third
of the three Cessna airplanes ever
used in Alaska figured in an aero
batic crackup resulting in serious
damage, last week at McGrath.
With only 40 hours flying on it,
the F.WS. Cessna Model 1876 was
damaged in an accident which left
the pilot, Leonard (SlimD Bragg,
uninjured, but hurt the ship
$4,000 worth.
A tail ski reverse in flight caused
the ship to ground loop while land
ing on the McGrath runway, ac-
cording to Bragg, F.W.S. agent at
McGrath and the only pilot to
have flown the new airplane. The
$4,000 airplane was purchased re-
Gently for use in the F.W.S. preda-
tory control program.
From preliminary estimates, it is
believed the damaged ship can be
back in service, after repair, in GO
days.
Meantime, two additional air.
planes have been moved into the
area, for the intensified
spring program in the Alaska
and Kuskokwim areas.
When the Kuskokwim breaks,
the two ships will be moved north
to Arctic coastal regions, to take
advantage of the ski conditions.

Establishment OF
F5C IS PROTESTED
BY SEATTLE {. OF {.

SEATTLE, April 8-R-Opposi-
ton to the proposed establishment
of Fisheries Sterilization Corpo-
ration by Congress was voiced
Thursday by John H. Perry, chair
man of the Seattle Chamber OF
Commences Alaska division.
The cham-er opposes formation
of the body because of the "dicta-
tcrial" powers it would have in
controlling the price OF fish pro-
ducts through loans, purchases,
payments and other operations,
Perry said
THE corporation would have the
power to regulate the price OF fish
and fish products through loans,
purchases, payments and other
operations L. the powers are
so dictatorial in their nature that
private enterprise would soon be
compelled to withdraw entirely
from the field" said Perry.
