MAUNA LOA
 ERUpTING

HILO, Hawaii, Jan. 7-lR- The big volcano of Mauna Loa erupted violently late yesterday, and three streams of molten lava are flowing down the slopes of the snow-capped mountain. The streams are esti- mated to be 12 to 15 miles long.
 Air Force Captain Orval D. Col lings of Los Angeles says if the lava maintains its present pace and dl- rection it will reach the western coast of Hawaii slightly north of Keokea late today
 Unless the flow is blocked or slcw- ed, the highway along the coast will be cut. Keokea is about 20 mics west of Mauna Loa's summit and about six miles southeast of the Captain Cook monument.
 Ceilings, who flew over the vol cano during the night, says the lava flow across the brilliant white snow was a beautiful spectacle.

CONSTRUCTION MAN SURVEYING JUNEAU
 APARTMENT SITES

Gerald Field, representative of the Pacific-Alaska Development Cor poration, is conducting survey in Juneau preliminary to the con- struction of 100 apartment units. He has been inspecting possible build- ing sites and comforting with gov ernment officials and private busi- nsssmen on the project.
 The Pacific-Alaska Development Cooperation, which was formed by a group of Seattle contractors and businessmen. has definitely decided to construct 600 apartment units in Anchorage. For employees of the Alaska Railroad, 250 units will be constructed on Government Hill and 374 units will be put in at Fort Richardson. Field said that one third of the apartments are expect cd to be ready for occupancy by fall. In constructing the buildings, the Corporation will utilize the credit facilities of Federal Law sos.
 MT. Field said that his firm was not interested in the construction of emergency facilities but will tuild for permanent usage. At the present time his company is con- structing a large apartment devel- opment in the Laurelhurst District of Seattle.
 Field accompanied K. c. Kadow, Lirector of the Alaska Field Staff, to Juneau on Wednesday. If trans pcrtation is available he will leave for Seattle tomorrow.

es on corporations declined $64 billion yearly, taxes on consumers in the form of levies on sales, use and gross receipts increased ap- proximately s3 billion yearly. Dur ing the same period the cost of liv- ing index rose from 128.4 to 1885 while the corporation profits in- creased from $89 billion to S16.9 billion after taxes.
 "'The two successive reductions in the personal income tax which chiefly benefited these in the up- ger income tax brackets also com bined with the cut in corporation tax to increase the proportion of total tax revenue secured from tax es on consumption :"
 Moore concluded his statement by pointing out that MT. Elder says that usually the substitute tax proposed is not based on the ability to pay and bears more heavily on the workers than would a moderate increase in real esta>e tax or a state GOT territory imposed locally shared income tax that provides suitable exemptions"
 Moore added that he had no specific recommendations to make until such time as the planned tax bills were introduced and could be studied by his and other Labor and progressive organizations.

'ticn Bureau of America and written by Arthur A. Elder, Consultant to the American Federation of Labor's Committee on Taxation, Moore made the following points:
 'Alarmists are all too ready to point to this huge tnationaD tax bill and declare that our economy is going to the bow-wows. h. telligent members of organized Labor, however, raise only two per- tinent questions regarding the de- sirahility of one-fourth of our present national income being de- voted to defraying the costs of government. They ask first wheth- CT the present tax burden is nec- essary. Their second very natural question is how the tax burden af- fleets the economy. It is obvious that a tax policy that unduly bur dens one sector or another of our economy can be one of the major contributing factors to future. de- pression.
 We cannot escape the conclu- sion that taxes should remain high, certainly as long as the pres ent inflationary trends continue and income and production con- tinue at a high level. And it fol- lows that any shifting of the tax burden to the low income groups over a period of time, therefore, will result in decreased purchasing power that will be reflected in a falling of consumption and pro- duction that will invite depression.
 "TThis shifting sanctioned by the Seventy ninth and Eightieth Con- gresses has already reached danger ous proportions. The decline in corporation income tax collections of from S155 billion in l945 to S3.1 billion in 1947 has been accom- panied by steadily rising prices. Whether the rising prices we're or were not stimulated by the cut in taxes is beside the point. The
 important fact is that while tax

 Rent Control Extension
 The President demanded rent control extension flor at least two years.' Today's legislative recom- mendations followed in the main his Wednesday program, with this additional tax proposal:
 Some new excise taxes may be desirable,' along with the rise in corporation, gift and estate levies and the possible boosts in middle and upper bracket income taxes. But the oleomargarine tax and some others should be repealed"
 Material Allotment
 Mir. Truman also asked extension of the law under which steel and other scarce materials are allotted to vital industries by voluntary in dustry agreement.
 But he added: There is grave danger that the problems of acute shortage cannot be adequately met by voluntary agreements. I there fore recommend that the use of mandatory allocation powers be au- thOriZed
 Mir. Truman opened his message on note of high optimism. The people of the United States have just enjoyed another year of bcuntiful prosperity" he reported But he soon moved on to. a warn- ing tone:
 Let US all remember that our unparalleled prosperity has not been maintained by chance, and that we can lose it if we leave the future to chance

AIR SAFETY RULES MAY
 BE CHANGED
Plan 10 Increase Control Over Unsch eduIed
 Commercial Flying
By JAMES J. STREBIG

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-tR-
 Two chartered plane crashes cost ing 45 lives within a week may bring changes in air safety rules
 desig.-e| to increase control over
 unscneduled commercial flying.
 Both the Civil Aeronautics Board
 (CAB) ard the Civil Aeronautlcs Administration (CAA) have been studying safety regulation in non- scheduled and charter flight opera
 tions. Revisions of rules to bring
 irregular flying under closer sup
 ervision is part of the study.
 Both CAB and CAA officials said
 today the two crashes, one in the
 Caribbean area and the other at Seattle, have focused attention on the need for action.
 The CAB, an independent agency,
 makes economic and safety rules md sits as a court for violations.
 The CAA, a Commerce Department
 agency, certifies the fitness of pi-
 let's and aircraft, controls traffic
 on airways and around airports, and acts as policeman to enforce safety rules.
 However, in most circumstances involving safety violations, the
 CAAs authority is not effective un- til after the rule has been broken. It is difficult to prevent an ille- gal flight. Furthermore, the agen- y has only small policing force compared with the size of the job,
 and the penalties it can impose are relatively minor The maximum is S1,0OO fine and revocation of license.
 Scheduled airlines, under close safety supervision by the CAA, must conform to high standards of fit ness The large irregular carriers come next in approach to maximum standards, but the nature of their operations does not call for the same around-the-clock checking. The smaller irregular and chart CT air services are presently caus- ing the most concern. In three accidents last year they killed "A passengers and seven crewmen, compared with 83 passenger and IA crew fatalities on scheduled airlines, although the latter per- formed hundreds of times as much service.

ONE IND OF UN EUROPEAN HDUS.
 HAUNTED, CLAIM

GFNEVA.-lR-One end Of the United Nations European headquar- ters building here is haunted. In 8 small room with heavy carpets just off the library is the League Of Nations museum. There are no cobwets, no rustling curtains, no long shadows. But here, in the be- ribboned documents, the fading photographs, in the one told, now meaningless autographs, lie buried the high hopes of another genera tion.
 A modest, almost meager, display Of husts, paintings, photographs and papers portrays birth, slow stran- gulation and death of the League of Nations. Woodrow Wilson and Paul Boncour look down from their frames on the wall. There :s Leon Blum, looking young and active and Paul-Henri Saak looking still younger. Maxim Litvinoff, once the Soviet Unions foreign commissar, now retired, shares a spot with frowning Gustav Streseman, Lord Halifax and Dino Grandi.
 One photograph shows Litvinoff talking over a table with the late Pierre Laval of France. Haille Se- lassie, looking frail and Mustered, is shown during one of his visits to the league to plead for sanctions against Italy. There is a picture ot B nito Mussolini receiving the leagues economic committee in 1927. One could not picture this man with the jutting chin, the stern eyes and folded arms hanging by his heels in front of an Italian gasoline sta- ton.
 In one glass case is the yellowed telegram protesting about troubles on the Greek-Bulgarian frontier in 1925. There are still troubles there.

ROCKET SHIP
 FLIES UNDER

 This rate of climb exceeds pre- vious records, but the Air Force said no official claim will be made.
 The flight took place at the Muroc Air Force base in California, Janu- ary 3. Capt. Charles E. Yeager, the first pilot to exceed the speed of sound in the plane, was at the controls.
