Commuters Tell ice
Heat Was Above 100
In Brunswick Coache!

A Baltimore g. Ohio railroad
commuter on the Brunswick-to-
Washington local complained to
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today that the tempera-
ture in coaches often registers
"over 100 degrees" in summer.
Miss Galinda E. Baker of Bruns-
wick a secretary to Senator
O'Conor, Democrat, of Maryland,
told hearing examiner that even
in the winter commuters either
suffer from too much heat or
freeze because there is no way
of regulating the heat"
The witness was one of group
of commuters who are charging
the B. & o. with discriminating
against them by not providing air.
conditioned cars.
Air Conditioning Sought.
Bernard S. Barton, DurWood
Md, told the hearing that he anG
his fellow commuters would be
satisfied" if air conditioning was
provided on the Brunswick line
equal with that of the Baltimore
local.
MI. Barton said that he under
stood that special coaches to the
Laurel race track are air condi-
toned, but A. P. Donadio, attor-
ney for the railroad, said that was
not a fact.
Both witnesses said they want
ed the line to restore air-condi-
toned coaches which they said
were removed for wartime troop
use.
DR.. Hugh P. Brinton. also of
Durwood, an employe of the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice, commented that the heat in
the coaches makes my head swim
sort of fainting sensa-
ton"
Lawyer Told to Take Trip.
Mrs. Helen K. Kiefer of Pooles-
vile, administrative assistant to
Senator Morse, Republican, Of
Oregon invited Attorney Donadio
to make the trip sometime.
Mrs. Lydia Hef1in, also of
Poolesville, a Senate employe. ex-
pressed the view that the B. g. o.
revenues would increase if it add
ed aforementioned coaches to the
Brunswick line.
ICC Examiner w. D. McCloud
heard nine witnesses and received
a petition signed by $50 COM
muters supporting the charges.
The group was represented by S.

Herb HiIscIler Blasts CAB For StiflinG GAlaska

 Herb Hilscher of the Alaskan board told the University of Mary land air transportation class that the CAB has forbidden independ- ent, unscheduled air carriers to continue in business.
 By it's legal action" he said, "the board is saying, in effect, that the two large air carriers certified to fly between the United States and Alaska are sufficient for the Territory's needs"
 He said the independent carriers last year hauled 73 per cent of all air cargo into Alaska and 83 per cent of all air corga out. The rates of the independents are much less, he said and a passenger can make a trip to Seattle on tn non-sched- uled lines for S60 as compared to $50 for the scheduled lines.
 "The CAB is deying to Alaska the same air policy consideration given to each of the 48 States"

Eleven Communist Leaders Behind Prison Bars

NEW YORK, lPD-Eleven of the nations top communist leaders were behind bars Saturday with their communist party in America facing a fight for it's life.
 They were convicted Friday as plotters of violent revoI u tion against the country they professed to love.
 The historic verdict, which de- fense lawyers said would be promptly appealed, cast a heavy shadow over the future of the community party in this country.
 The Communist Daily Worker, of London, England, said the yer diet has virtually made the party illegal in the United States"
 For the first time in the his tory of the U. s." said the Worker, ''it has been declared / a crime merely to be a member of the communist party"
 However. the Community Daily Worker. in New York. said the party "has not been outlawed'' and that the American people would defend it's absolutely con- stitutional right" 10 continue to function.
 Miss Elizabeth Gwley Flynn, a party national committee mem Der, denied that the verdict would drive communists underground. She said htat the party will still operate as usual"
 But some reaction in Washington was that the verdict put the party outside the confines of law. There also were demands for stronger crackdOWns on communism.
 Rep Harrison D.-VaD, of the House unAmerican activities com mittee, said the verdict confirmed that the "communits party is an illegal conspiracy"

Failure To Make Tax Return Will Bring Penalties

MT. M. P. Mullaney, tax com missioner for the Territory of Alaska, arrived here yesterday on his first visit to Nome, although he has been with the tax depart ment since 1945. He is on rou- tine trip during which time he will consult with Paul Dryden, Divisional tax collector whom he states is doing a commendable job in a very efficient manner. He will also confer with Ted Duffield, U. s. Commissioner who collects other taxes for the department.
 MT, Mullaney stated that the Territorial tax department has collected so far this year S41O2,- . 92O.54. This is up to and including Sept. 1949.
 This amount includes funds earmarked for special purposes, such as the construction of roads Motor Fuel Tax which so far this year is S489, ,438.83; tobacco tax (earmarked for school which is $177,182.88.
 The Net Income Tax cOllec- tions total $556,935.74 and the Li- quor tax for two quarters is S868,- 626.16.
 MT. Mullaney stated that con- trary to what newspaper releases would have the public believe that the Territory is not solvent, he be- lieves that the Territory may be badly bent but not broke," that the Territory is a going concern that may be a little slow right now in meeting obligations, but with out a doubt will definitely meet them all" He realizes, he stated, that the delay in payment has worked a hardship on those giving credit to the Territory, but the problem will adjust itself.
 MT. Mullaney will meet with the members of the tax board who are in Nome with an informal meeting to discuss problems which have arisen. The members of the board who are in town are Bert Bell and A. CaStell.
 MT. Mullaney leaves Wednes- day with Pan American.
