 Workers now average from $1.09 to S1.63 an hour.

up in school administration, told Chamber members that he has no quarrel with individual city gov ernments, or with any city council men. He emphasized that his aim is correction of legislation to give school districts financial in- dependence.
 Under present situations" Cald- well pointed out, school boards which were elected by the people to set up school policy are not in a position to carry out their func- ton. They can make policies, but when policies are transferred into dollars and cents in school bud- gets, the City Councils have the right to chop up the budget into what the council sees fit"
 Caldwell told Jaycees that he considers this to be a form of dual control which in effect nullified the work for which the school boards were elected by the people.

Un American Committee Digs Out Chamber Last
 Years Testimony
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-lR-A re-check of files in the Congress sional spy hunt showed today two slender threads linking Russian es- pionage in Japan and in the United States.
 Whitaker Chambers, who says he was a one time courier for @ Red spy ring n America, told the House Un-An,erican Activities Com mittee last year he helped obtain recruits and money for an "appar- atus" in Japan in the mid-80s.
 And one person Chambers says was in contact with the leaders of that apparatus is mentioned in a report the Army released yester- day. The report told of a big Soviet espionage ring in Tokyo that op- erated from 1883 to 1941 and stole secrets from the Japanese cabinet and German Embassy.
 There is nothing in the Chambers testimony to show any definite or close connection between the Am erican ring he served and the net work described by the Army as probably the all-time boldest and best.

COMMUNICATION

Editor, Daily Alaska Empire: Is it not a fact that if the General Property Tax passes and additional taxes are put upon the property owners in the cities, or any other section in Alaska, that the proper ty owners might apply to the Office of Rent Control for a raise in the rents of the tenants? This additional tax will be put upon the tenant in an increase in rent. Tn other words it will go upon the consumer and will make his cost of living higher and put his rent gradually beyond his capacity to- pay.
 Yours truly,
 ALBERT WHITE.
