Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
 There are many ways to honor the dead and to pay tribute to their memory and unforgettable deeds, but none that would be more sincere, useful and appreciated than to help the living, especially the unfortunate and underprivi- legged.
 It is with this thought in mind that l wish to extend the thanks of the Alaska Crippled Children's Association for the generous contribution of Emil Knudsen and any others so de- string to pay tribute to the passing ofo our friend and A. laska's pioneering citizen, Cap" Lathrop.

to unity the entire country.
The election would be for q
constituent assembly empowered
to draw up a constitution for ali
Germany. The voting would be
supervised by all four occupation

The proposal grew out of a re-
cent suggestion by the American
high commissioner. John J.. Nc
Cloy, that free and democratic
elections should be held through
out Germany, including the Rus
sian zone. Gen. McCloy's sug-
gestion was supported by the Brit
ish high commissioner. Sir Brian
Robertson.
The German proposal expressed
confidence the French also would
back such q plan and said the
Russians have made it clear On
several occasions that they, too
want a unified Germany.
October Is Date Suggested.
Gen. McCloy suggested the cleo
ton be held October 15-the date

ocratic Union, largest non-Com-

1aber Urges New Cut
OF 81 10 s. Billion in
Omnibus Budget Bill
Asks House Members
To Back His Proposal
To Reduce Deficit
BY the Associotsd Press

A new cut of from two to three
billion dollars in an omnibus $29
billion appropriation bill was pro-
posed today by Representative
Taber of New York.
Top Republican on the House
Appropriations Committee. Mr..
Taber called on all members Of
Congress who want to support
a balanced budget" to join him
in chopping down the bills total.
Chairman Cannon Of the COM
mittee retorted that he doesn't
see how such a cut can be made
lin. view Of our obligations at
home and abroad"
Cites Previous Cut.
Mr.. Cannon pointed out that
the $29,045,03o,164 bill financing
nearly all Federal activities ex-
cept foreign aid for the next fiscal
year already has been cut by the
committee from $3o,612,930, ,668,
a reduction of $1,567 ,900, ,504.
Thos figures include both cash
and contract authorizations re-
quested by the President.
On the basis of the committees
action and the Presidents esti-
mates Of revenues next year, the
Federal deficit for the fiscal year
beginning July / would be S.
153 3,682,31z.
Mr.. Taber hopes to reduce that
to around 81 billion through cuts
he wants the House to impose on
the omnibus bill when 1t starts
considering it next week.
The biggest single allotment in
the bill is $13,911,127, 800 for ma
tional defense. The .Appropria-
tions Committee reduced the de-
fense budget by more than 5000
million and said that is all that
could be safely trimmed.
Items Called ''Untouchable."
Largest ether items are S., ,801, :
782,795 in Veterans Administra-
tion spending and almost a bill
lion for the Atomic Energy Com
mission. Those two. along with
national defense. have long been
regarded as "untouchable."
Mr.. Taber's plan Of action re-
portedly will be to try to return
the bill to the Appropriations
Committee with instructions to
slash out some more money, per-
haps as much as several billion
dollars.
He voted against approving the
bill in committee yesterday, say
ing it twas too big"
Mr.. Taber said it is up to Con-
gress to take positive action to
hold down the national debt. now
around $3.50 billion.
"Our people are being taxed
beyond endurance" he said in 4
statement. "and we are headed for
uncontrolled imitation and bank
ruptcy unless a brake is put to
unnecessary spending"
Mr.. Taber said his cutting pro-
posals when the bill comes up for
a House vote will permit the
Congress to go ON record on the
question Of whether they want
to support balanced budget"

bar employees dismissed on loyalty
grounds from Federal service fol

"punishment." which the Presi-

While the finding against the

ceivably could affect future pro-

technical significance in this par
ticular case.

James Proctor concurring.
The decision that Miss Bailey
had been properly dismissed from
her $8.000-a-year job as super

Henry w. Edgerton.

cusers or to know their identity,

Of any employe under this order.
