a MAN. A WOMAN AND A CHILD

Not 80 long ago. we noticed a couple
in a public gathering. and between the
husband and wife. there sat their only
child. now almost grown.
We wondered at the time IL this young
person fully realized all the importance
of his relationship Co the older people
who had carried hfe's burdens for all
three up 90 that time?
For. the older couple. life b almost a
thing of the past Except for a brief in
terest in few remaining years. all that
life still held for them was wrapped up
in and eentered around the activity and
future of their child
Vet. a. We all know. these parents
and others like them. are powerless 90
affect the childs destiny very much
Unless character had been builded in
earlier youth. no amount of love and IN
terest can inject Il now. The child had
grown out of the parental range Tor all
time.
The moral II this. II any. is two-fold
Parents whose children are young should
not neglect the training Of their boys and
girls. II Is a task which cannot be dele
gated Co others entirely And children
as they enter into life on their own re-
spOnsibilities. should not overlook their
power 10 wreck aud make miserable rhe

CUT BACK ON
 EXCISE TAXES
 I5 5pR0p05ED
legisldiion Would Put Tax 10 Pre-Wdr Levels
 Announcement Made

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-th-- House Republican Leader Martin (Mass) today proposed that Con- gress cut most excise taxes back to pre-war levels.
 These are the levies, sometimes called luxury" taxes on theatre and movie tickets, railroad fares, furs. luggage, cosmetics and tele- phone bills.
 Martin announced he has drawn legislation to cut back these taxes He issued statement saying. Con- gross and the Administration can no longer justify the maintenance of high wartime excise rates on a few products of industry"
 Martins bill skips whisky and to- bacco in the list of excises he would slash. The liquor levy would remain at S9 gallon, instead of reverting to the pre-war $4 gallon. Tobacco taxes would stay where they are.
 Martin made on estimate on how much government revenues would fall if the cuts he asked were made.

Truman -SiaIin Proposed
 Conference Must Be Held
 In Washington; U. }. Firm

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.--LR-- An unofficial gesture by Premier Stalin for get-together with President Truman behind the Iron Curtain found the White House standing pat today on its Wash ington-only terms.
 Offer was not made to MT. Tru- man directly. It was contained in a second exchange of messages with an American newsman.
 Stalin's published reply suggest ed Russia, Poland or Czechoslovakia as the locale for meeting. It said the Premier's health would not permit any long trip by sea or air.
 This was the same reason Stalin had given previously to both Presidents Roosevelt and Truman in rejecting invitations to come to the Uni6ed States.
 As for today's gesture by Stalin, White House Press Secretary c. G. Ross said that all MT. Truman had on it was from newspaper stories and radio broadcasts.
 Standard White House response to such feelers has been that the President is willing to talk peace any time but that the place to do it is Washington. Implicit also has been the suggestion that acts by Russia, rather than talk, would be the best proof of Soviet in- tentions.
 Ross told a news conference that Mir. Truman has not received any word from Stalin himself on the subject.
 His conference with reporters to- day began with a question about the report by the International News Service.

MOB KILLS AMERICAN
 IN MEXICO
Government Livestock In
 spettor, Companions Attacked, Mexi(dns

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 2.-R-Rot- ert l.. Proctor, foot and mouth com mission inspector of Tucson, Ariz. was killed by a native mob Monday at a mountain village 75 miles north west of here.
 Proctor was thought to have es- capped after he and three others were attacked by about 600 men and women as they rode horseback into San Pedro Del Alto, five mles from Tenascaltzingo.
 Proctor, the commission learned today, was killed and buried at the village and later that night his body was taken into the hills and r'eburied. Today, Mexican troops drought the body here.
 Proctor was g and spoke Spanish tluently and apparently got along well with the Mexican peasants. He joined the joint U. S. Foot and Mouth Disease Commission here on Nov. II, 1S48.
 This is the third clash in which men of the joint U. S.-Mexico com- mission fighting the livestock di- sease have been killed.
 Opposition to vaccination con- tinues in some isolated districts but the commission generally finds the farmers cooperating. The slaughter of animals was abandoned year ago except in extreme cases and vaccination substituted.

DEATH TOLL 0FBLIzzARD
 RATED HIGH
Millions of Dollars Dam- age Done 10 Citrus and
 Vegetable Crops
(By The Associated Press)

Weather's wintry elements dashed out over states from Texas to Cali fornia in January, causing at least 112 deaths and millions of dollars damage to citrus and vegetable crops.
 But the final ueath toll, property damage andslivestock losses remains undetermined as the storm-battered western section of the nation still reeled from the January blizzards.
 A survey today unfolded to some extent the widespread damage over the storm belt from the worst weather in several years.
 The death toll in IS states hit by blizzards, sub-zero temperatures and ice and sleet storms was at least 112.
 The damage to citrus and vege- table crops runs into the millions of dollars-$30, 100000 in California alone.
 The livestock loss still is undeter- mined and probably will not be known until spring The job of sav- ing the thousands of cattle and sheep which were snowbound on the western rangelands by January blizzards still is not finished. Neith- er is the huge task of bringing re- lief to the thousands of marooned ranchers and Indians.
 Some communities in the western blizzard area were isolated for days some for weeks.
 The Federal government joined with western blizzard states in the relief and rescue work. Planes and snow-moving equipment moved in Bulldozers and snow blows opened the snow-locked highways and sec ondary roads. Planes carrying tons of hay flew over the isolated re- gions, dropping their cargo to the starving livestock. Planes also took food and medical supplies to snow bound communities and Indian res- ervations.
 In Wyoming out of an estimated 775,000 cattle and 1,50O,0O0 sheep the estimated losses run from 5O,OOC to 6O.0o0 cattle and 105,000 to l1o,- 900 sheep.

REPORTED INVITATION

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.--iR- The National Broadcasting Co. reported from Paris today that Prime Min ister Stalin has invited President Truman to meet withs him in Rus sia, Poland CT Czechoslovakia.
 NEG Correspondent Henry C.. Cassidy said
 In second message to Kings bury Smith, European manager of the International News Service, Stalin today has invited the Presi- dent to come to Russia or to meet him in Poland or Czechoslovakia. Stalin says his doctors forbid him to make the long trip to Washing ton where President Truman has expressed willingness to receive the Russian leader. Stalin dots all the is and crosses the Us of this in- vitation by naming the specific cities in which President Truman would be welcomed The include Moscow, Leningrad, Kaliningrad, Odessa and Yalta"
 "Stalin recalled 1t has long been his wish to meet the President again and be told MT. Truman so long ago as l945 in Potsdam."

PLANS ARE ANNOUNCED
 BY MARINE
Assistant Secretary of h. terior Gives Out His
 Information

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.---lR-A government official told Senate committee today the Aluminium Company of America is consider ing construction of an aluminium plant in Alaska.
 The testimony came from w. E. Warne, Assistant Secretary of In- terior, at a hearing before the Senate Interior Company.
 Chairman O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) asked the witness if ALCOLA is planning a plant in Alaska. Ans wering in the affirmative, Warne added that the plans have hot gone far enough for any public statement as to the details.
 Warne went on to say the plant would be in Southeast Alaska, north of Ketchikan, and would re- quire treaty between the United States and Canada, as it will "in- volve international waters"
 He said he thought plans were to have part of the aluminium mak- ing process in Alaska and part in Oregon or Washington. He said the company was attracted to AL aska by the availability of a pow CT supply.
 Warne earlier had told the com- mittee. which is studying the con- servation, development and use of natural resources, that Alaska s development is being retarded by failure to settle aboriginal rights of the natives. He urged early ac- tion by Congress to settle the prob lem.
 ]. Warne said that trucking service to Alaska from Montana is impor- tant to the Territory. Through such services he said, Montana has become the gateway to Alaska"
 He also urged that Congress ap- prove a railroad connection be- tween Canadian railroads and the Alaska Railroad.

 Atlantic Plan
(By the Associated Pressy

Western diplomats predicted to- day the nations negotiating the North Atlantic Pact would lose no time in making Norway one of their group, despite Soviet pressure.
 The Norwegian reply to a Soviet note asking about her position on the Atlantic Alliance said Norway felt it necessary to seek increased security through defensive cooper ation, such as ties with the Vest ern powers.
 Norway added, however, that she would not grant bases on her soil to foreign powers, unless she is at tackled or threatened with aggres- sion.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-02-02

WASHINGTON Administration spokesmen on Capitol Hill are be- ginning to wonder whether Presi- dent Trumans program may be an- other victim of ''government-by- crony." In this case the crony is good old John Snyder, Secretary of the Treasury.
 The re-enactment of modified excess-profits tax on corporations was recommended by Truman in both his 1898 message on the State of the Union and in his address to the special session of Congress last July. It was recommended, how ever, despite the violent objection of John Snyder, who was so op- posed that the President had to turn to his Council of Economic Advisers for tax advice.
 This year, with corporate profits at an all-time high, such admin istration stalwarts as Rep. John D. Dingell (Mich), Rep. Herman Eb- erharter (Pa0, and Sen. Joseph OMahoney (Wyo) came to the conclusion that another excess profits tax recommendation was certain to come from the White House. So they prepared bills for an excess profits tax to be intro duced early in the 8lst Congress.
 Much to their amazement, how ever, they were left out on the limb when the Truman State of
