OPPOSITION EXPRESSED

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-(R The Senate's two top-ranking fore ign aid policy leaders today said they are opposed to committing this country to any moral obligation ito go to war.
 The declarations came in Senate debate from Chairman Connally tD-Tex) of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee and Senator Van denberg tR-Mich), the past chair man. They were discussing the pro- posed North Atlantic Security AL liance.
 This is treaty the United States is working out with Canada, Britain. France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
 Details of the proposals under study have not been disclosed, but the Connally and Vandenberg state ments served notice, in effect. that the Senate is unlikely 10 approve any treaty which would bind the United States automatically to go to war under any circumstances.
 Vandenberg said, however, that the pact offers infinite assurance" against World War III.

N0N-5kED5 TO CARRY FIGHT TO CONGRESS

SEATTLE, Feb. 14-tR-A spokes- man for the National Independent Air Carriers asserted today the Civil Aeronautics Board is attempt ing to regulate them out of busi- ness. and said it would ask Con- gless to investigate the CAB.
 Amos E. Peacock, Seattle. chair man of the MACS executive com mittee, asked for congressional inquiry in a brief he said would be presented at a CAB hearing in Washington, D. c. tomorrow.
 He said the hearing is upon a CAB plan to impose regulations that will be a death knell to in dependent air-carrier service.
 Heacock said the independent carriers are asking Congress not only to. investigate the. CAB, but also to re-examine the Civil Aero nautics Act of 1888.
 Congress, he said should investi- gate Why we do not have univer- sal first class mail by air"
 Since mail can not be trans ported for IS cents a ton mile by air." he added, why is it that many, many times this amount is paid for the service? Why, indeed are the nations mails transported by rail at 28 cents a ton mile?'
 Want Better Service
 Heacock traced development of independent air service to Alaska and said it had been proved con- clusively by testimony of persons Of many diverse Alaskan interests that what the people of Alaska want is more and better non- scheduled service"
 Ncn- scheduled carriers, he said. brought a new standard of living to Alaska by their rate competi- tion."
 The kangaroo court which the CAB will hold tomorrow, which will satisfy due process under the ad- ministrative procedure act but which will not do us justice, will not be the last round,' Heacock added.
 "Congressmen are aroused, and l hope for and expect congression- al Investigation that will take the controversy out of CABS hands and give us hearing where we can face the CAB with our charges un- der equal conditions-where the CAB will not have the advantage of being prosecutor, judge, jury and legislator all in one . !"

PROPERTY TAX PREDICTED TO PASS SENATE
10-6Vote Forecast by Sen- dtors # Further Exemp-
 lions Not Made
By JAMES HUTCHINSON

Indications were strong, as the general property tax bill came back to the Senate floor today, that it may be enacted into law
 The controversial measure was considered as special order of busi- ness in the afternoon session.
 Increasing numbers of senators from both parties expressed the opinion the bill will pass this week, if it does not become loaded down with amendments for special ex- emptions.
 As now drawn, the bill would levy the territory's first general prop erty tax of 10 mills with a personal property exemption of $200 and a special incentive exemption up to one-half the tax for as many as 10 years for pulp mills and other new industries.
 The house-adopted version carried a $2,500 personal property exemp- tion as a concession primarily to fishboat owners.
 REVENUE NEEDED
 One of the administration most consistent critics. E. B. Collins, Fair banks Republican, said:
 There is no doubt that the Ter ritory needs more revenue. l still Fovycr o ca1oc fov oc v,,,,oh oo oc;ov and less expensive to collect. But since it seems sales tax has nc chance, am willing to go along on property tax. It will make every body tax-conscious by making them help foot the bills
 The Senate decided last week that the proposed tax was of such far reaching import that all interested parties in the Territory should have chance to testify at an open hear ing.
 Senate President Gunnard Enge- breth, Anc horage Republican, is among those who expects the meas ure to pass if it remains in its present form. But, he added
 If other exemptions are tackled on some Senators might refuse to support it. The temper of the Sen ators is strongly against granting exemptions to any cIass-miners fishing or any other"
 1O-6 VOTE PREDICTED
 Two Democratic Senators, Howard Lyng of Nome and Frank Peratro- ivich of Klawock, predicted that the tax would be approved in the up- per house by vote of 10 to 6.
 Most other Senators were cagier about forecasting the specific vote.
 Victor Rivers of Anchorage, Dem ocratic leader in the Senate, also foretold the bills passage. He said, however, that opponents are trying to put the kiss of death" on the measure ty amendments to make it unpalatable for some Senators and for House members, if it eventually goes to conference committee for ad- justment on points of Senate and House disagreement.

The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

By DREW PEARSON Copyright, ls4s, by Bell Syndicate. Incl WASHINGTON = An obscure lawsuit brought in High Point, N. C.. may air some of North Caro- linas dirtiest political linen. It involves a near practice whereby North Carolina lobbyist politicians use high-placed friends and rela- tives, including the Secretary of the Army, to get REC loans and Army contracts.
 Secretary of the Army Kenneth Royal, who comes from Colds boro, North Carolina, and Gordon Gray, assistant Secretary of the Army, from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, appear to have been the unwilling tools of the lobby istS
 It also appears conclusive that in order to get loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation it was wise-perhaps even neces- sary-to apply through ex-Con-
