Hungary Says voge|er
Turned Electric Firm
Into Espionage Ring
ky the Assoeioted Press

BUDAPEST. Hungary. Dec. "a.
The Hungarian government to-
day accused American business
man Robert A. Vogeler of being
the professional chief of a spy
ring and of turning a subsidiary
OF the International Telephone
and Telegraph Corp. here into an
espionage organization.
A communique by the Ministry
of Interior charged that Mr..
Vogeler, a vice president OF
I. T. & r. and its representative
here, headed a ring of II Hun
garians. It said he was assisted
by Edgar Sanders, British &C
countant of the subsidiary, and
1mre Geiger. its Hungarian man
aging director. All were arrested
on November 18 and the govern
ment declared they have con-
feSSed.
Currency Activity Charged.
The ministry declared all three
acted on instructions of company
shareholders and superiors. It
charged they not only engaged in
the continuous and widespread"
activity of collecting secret indus
trial and military information.
blueprints and maps, but also in
illegal currency operations and in
running an underground rail-
road" to spirit out of the country
spies who were about to be caught.
(The inclusive character Of
the charges appeared to be
aimed at International Stand
ard Electric Works Corp, the
Hungarian subsidiary of I. T.
& T., as well as at the three
- officials. The allegation could
be the forerunner of an effort
by the Communist-dom dominated
government to take over the
property. I. T. & T. officials
have pointed out the parallel
between the case and that OF
Paul Ruedemann and George
Bannantine, American repre-
sentatives in Hungary Of the
Standard Oil Co., who were
arrested in September 194s. and
released only after signing
statements admitting sabotage.
Ruedemann and Bannantine
later said they had to sign the
statements under pressureo
u, s. Accused of Insult.
At the same time, the Hungar-
ian government in note to the
United States legation charged
the American Government with
''rudely insulting the sovereignty"
of this country by its ban on travel
by American citizens to Hungary.
The government rejected the
American note which advised that
the ban had been imposed earlier
this week because of the arrest
of Mr.. Vogeler and the arrest
q little over a week ago OF Israel
Jacobson, American director IN
Hungary of the American Joint
Distribution Committee, a Jewish
welfare agency. The American
Government demanded their re-
lease. Mr.. Jacobson, 37-year-old
resident of Chicago. also is being
held on suspicion OF spying.
The British government an
nounced yesterday also that 1t had
suspended negotiations with Hun
gary for a $4,000, 900 trade agree
ment because Hungary had re-
fused to let the British consul
general interview Mr.. Sanders IN

TAX ON BOATS EXPLAINED

Several boat owners have asked The Empire to give the low down on the boat tax and here it is:
 l. Owners of pleasure and n-commercal boats do pay 1o-mill tax to the city school district Cor if not in either, to the Territory not on tonnage basis but on true and full value
 9 Owners of fishing and commercial boats may elect to pay the 10-ill tax do city, school district if not in either of them to the Territory either a tonnage basis (mnimum of $20 but avoiding ne- cessty of assessing for true value value basis.
 The rate per ton is $4 commercial boats of 5 tons and over The minimum tax small commercial and fishing boats however, is not $20 per boat but merely 10 mills assessed the true value of the boat boat worth $500 would pay $5 tax; one worth S10OO pays $10
 Even boats of 5 tons and over may use true value dnstead of tonnage) basis if the owner thus saves on taxes and still lists true value.

ment's property to U. s. Steel. S1- simultaneously, Secretary of the Treasury John Snyder good friend of U. s. Steel President Ben Hairless, was given credit for talk ing to the White House.
 At any rate, President Truman personally directed Attorney Gen. eral Tom Clark to overrule his anti trust division and decree that there was no objection to selling the gov ernment's Utah steel plant to U. s. Steel.
 Thus the steel corporation has been in the fortunate position of being able to thumb its nose at President r1ruman's, fact-finding Board and at the same time get President Truman's help in tight ening it's monopoly hold of the steel industry.

Debt Pattern Is Same
(Ketchikan News)

(Ketchikan News)
 The pattern is the same from Washington D. C.. to Juneau Alaska.
 Nothing but debts
 The President, according to press dispatches, ac- knowledged that he had overestimated tax revenues in his budget estimate and underestimated how much money he would spend.
 So he missed out by about four billion dollars on he wrong side of the ledger, mistake that will be passed on to taxpayers.
 Territorial Treasurer Roden shows that the AL aska fund is short $644 94396 meeting obligations That, despite the many which the Gruening gang imposed One is that the Territory,

 salared boards and hordes of tax collectors positions for his "favorites"
 These along with loosely drawn tax laws many )f them attacked through the courts, are hanging round the necks of taxpayers.
 And this same bunch of characters through its subsidized press already is shaping up with more double ongued propaganda to alib its mistakes and trv and gain confidence for future elections.
 While the few hundred thousand dollars with which the Alaskans are soaked peanuts compared with the billions passed to the taxpayers by the Truman national government, the general pattern is the
 It is too bad that there isn't some way to inn peach both the National and Territorial governments for deceving the public and creating unnecessary debts in furtherance of political fortunes.

ression that his opponent was an- ti-semitic. Tn spite of the defense Of Dulles integrity by such Jews as Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver and Ber- nard Baruch, the charge stuck suf- ficiently to show in the votes in the largest concentration of Jews anywhere in the world.
 Similarly, the Democrats inhu- manly made use of the fact that while Dulles is an important Pro- testant churchman. his son has become a Jesuit. They gave the inn pression that the father had ne- jed the son. This lie died hard, as such lies do, and cost Dulles many votes. In this sense, the cam paign was indescribably indecent but not decisive

The combined Democratic and So- cialist vote for United States Sen | ator Lehman was 1,579,624 in the same city. It is not clear how the
 Communists voted in the Senator 1! ial race. But the Daily Worker" 1 fought Dulles and hailed his de- Ifeat. The combined Democratic, So- cialist and Communist vote for Lehman should have been l,936,O47, which it was not. All these parties opposed Dulles. Actually, 2,577 l93 votes were cast for mayor; s2,375,- /! 331 for United States Senator. The missing POI ,862 votes, cast for may or but emitting the United States
 Senator, will be variously interpret
 ed. They probably represent the humber of Communists who voted flor Marcantonio and no one else. Some Democrats may not have vot- ed for either Lehman or Dulles.
 The Republican Party in New York State fell apart after Thomas
 E. Dewey's defeat in 1948. In Ne"
 York City, the Party, as an or
 ganized apparatus. hardly exists. IL .made no attempt to run it's own I ticket and resorted to fusion with I the Socialists Giberal Party on | local candidates while the Social | ists fought Dulles most vigorously. jThis added an element of the rid.- Iculous to the campaign.
 The Socialists, however, did not produce any outstanding results. In a year when the Communists are more unpopular than they have eyer been, when even a friendly gesture to Soviet Russia is ana thema, shortly after the end oi { the trial of II Communists in Judge Medina's Court, Vito Marcantonic, who no matter what he may say about it, represents to the voters the full Com m u nj S t political strength, boiled 356, ,423 votes, while the Socialists, as the Liberal Party produced 372,281 votes. The differ fence is 15,858 is too small to notice. The Liberal Party then has pro- duced no important results. How ever, the combined Communist Socialist vote, 728,7O4, larger than the Republican vote, 57l,07l, is sig /, nificantly indicative of left wing strength in this city. It is also in- teresting that while the Republi- 'cans were poverty-stricken, both the Socialists and the Communists were able to spend enormous sums, as- tonishingly large for non-presi- dential election.
 The repudiation of the Commun- ist candidate in Harlem, Benja-
 min J. Davis, is significant. Davis
 has been convicted in conspiracy charge; his election would have branded Harlem as Communist area All anti-C Communist parties combined on single candidate,
 Earl Brown. Both candidates are Negroes

 Air traffic tickets-CAA Chief Del Rentzel has called in Navy and Air Force leaders to iron out air traffic problems in the hope oi preventing future disasters. The CAA is in charge of patrolling the airways, and can hand out traffic tickets for air violations. But it is up to the Navy and Air Force to punish their own fliers. One problem, therefore, is to make sure military pilots are properly pun ished for reckless flying. Another problem is the close proximity os military and civilian fields. Busy fields, such as Washington's Ma tional Airport, are forced to hold up traffic several times month, while some military pilot on a training mission hunts for his bear ings.

PRELUDE TO 1850

Too much can be made of the victory of Herbert Lehman over John Foster Dulles. President Tru- man, for instance, takes this el- ection to mean an endorsement Of the welfare state. While any victory could be so interpreted, other fac tors in this election are more pres sing.
 Frist of all is the fact that the shameless charge of bigotry against John Foster Dulles did not die down, nor did it boomerang as some anticipated. Governor Leh- man pulled a sentence out of con- text and twisted it to give the imp

U. S. Steel vs U. s. Government
 While the U. S. Steel Corpora ton was using its influence against a settlement of the strike, 1t was also trying to increase it's tremen- dous hold on the steel industry through the U. s. Government.
 It's latest proposed acquisition is a government wartime shipyard at Orange, Texas, which it plans to convert into factory for making steel pipe for the oil industry. The shipyard was purchased by U. $. Steel's wholly owned subsidiary, Consolidated Steel, upon whose pro- perty the yard was built Then al- ert Herbert Bergson, head of the Justice Departments antitrust di- vision, ruled that this would in- crease U. s. Steel's monopoly po- sition and would be against the best interest of the U. s. A.
 However, this didn't please Con- gressman J. M Coombs and other Texas politicos who thereupon pushed a resolution through both houses of Congress authorizing the shipyard facilities to be sold to U. s. Steel.
 Once before, Congressional and White House pressure was used to  increase U. s. Steels hold on the industry. After the war, when the government advertised its Geneva, Utah, steel plant for sale, once again the Justice Departments an- thrust division ruled that any sale to U. s. Steel would be against the best interests of the nation.
 However, then Senator Abe Mur- dock of Utah, now a Labor Rela- ticns Commissioner, pulled every wire possible to sell the govern
