Will Further
Claims Service

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March
ia change in the national JACL
policy of evacuation claims services

nounced this week by National Pres
ident Hito Okada after consulting
with members of the JACL Nat
onal Board.
In the policy established at the
National Convention last September

I'll, the minimum local services to

the forms available (2) making
available general public informa-
ton relating to the filing of such
claims and necessary TRANSACTIONS
of this information, and 90 pro-
viding necessary stenographic SER
vices for the filing of the claims.
In the light of six-months actual
experiences by the chapters In help
ing to service evacuation claims. in
most instances chapters have found
the present national policy has been
inadequate In assisting most claim
ants. especially on the West Coast.
In making the announcement,
President Okada said,
Many of our chapters have al
ready gone beyond the established
national policy with expanded SER
vices to claimants because of urgent
request from the people. We feel
that our chapters should be of the
greatest assistance to their local
and hence IL was nee
essary to review our original policy.
Dur National Board now feels that
Ill our chapters should set up ex-
banded services according to the
needs of their communities in con-
iultation with the various commu-
lity leaders"
The other aspects of the program |
Will remain the same as far as the |
office and regional Of
ices be concerned.
Where chapters find themselves
Unable to service claimants, a rep
'esentative of the JACL will con- |
'ult with local community leaders

TERRITORY WILL APPEAL RULING ON
 NONRESIDENT TAX

J. Gerald Williams, Attorney General of Alaska, plans to appeal the decision of Judge George w Folta in the matter of the nop- resident fishermen's tax.
 Judge Folta ruled last week that the license fee for nonresident halibut fishermen = increased from $25 to $50 by the 1949 Legislature is unreasonably discriminatory and invalid.
 Asked by Tax Collector M. P. Mullaney for an opinion on col lection of similar fees from salmon fishermen, Williams said today, There has not yet been a decision on Chapter 66, S.L.A 1949, as it applies to salmon fishermen, so I have advised the Tax Commissioner to continue collections as pro- vided therein.
 "A case is pending" he added. which will require such a ruling, but it has not yet Teen heard"
 The reference is to the suit brought May 26 by Oscar Anderson and the Alaska Fishermen's Union, on behalf of members of the union, against the Alaska Tax Commis- sioner Anderson is secretary treasurer of the union.
 Discussing his intention to ap- peal the decision that concerns halibus fishermen. williams men toned g paragraph from Judge Folta's opinion, which reads in part "If there were showing by stipu- lation of facts or otherwise from which it would appear that the dis elimination is not clearly unrea- sonable or that at least it is shrouded in doubt, in which event the rule is well-settled that consti- nationality would have to be pre- stunned. the validity of this act would have to be upheld :"
 Judge Folta's decision was in the case brought ty two Seattle mas CTS of halibut vessels and Ket- chikan processing firm.

 Repeal N Noi
 Coming Yet

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-tR- House Democratic leader McCor- mack (Mass.) said after a White House conference today he sees no prospect for repeal of any of the wartime excise taxes at this ses- sion of Congress.
 Mccormack, in addition to his party post. is member of the House Ways and Means committee which originates tax legislation.
 Mccormack and other Democrat ic congressional leaders discussed the tax situation and other mat ters at their regular Monday morn- ing session with President Truman.
 Other conferees were Vice Presi- dent Barkley, Speaker Rayburn and Majority Leader Lucas.
 When Lucas was asked about the possibility of tax legislation, he referred questioners to Mccormack, asserting the matter was in the jurisdiction of the House commit tee.
 Everybody is for repeal Mo- Cormack said, but when you open up the question of repeating excise taxes, you open up the question of repeating them all and raise the possibility of another $1,7o0, ,OO0, 900 loss in revenue.
 You can't loose this much rev. enue without further unbalancing the budget and without levying other taxes to replace the excise taxes"
