because some people want to tax it to death"
CAN 1T BE TRUE that taxes threaten the very
life of MinnesOta's iron ore industry? You be the
judge -.
It's fact that the ore industry now pays taxes at
far higher rate than other industries of this state
Indeed the rate is toice high: 1870 occupation
and royalty tax vs.. the 63% state income tax paid
by other industries. And actually the burden is much
more than double because the ore industry is not
allowed to deduct as much for costs as other in
dustries
In other words, this one industry has been
singled out to carry far heavier tax load than
other Minnesota industries. Minnesota people can,
If they wish disregard the unfairness of this But
they cannot escape the possible RESULTS of such
taxation.
Today, you see, Minnesota face mighty stiff
competition from the ores of other areas What area
will benefit most from its resources? What area
will provide the most jobs for miners the most sup
port for other business? That depends produc
ton costs.
Of course taxes, like manpower and horse
power, are part of ore costs. Indeed, today
they're a more important part than ever. For to
develop our leaner Ores-the kind that MUST be
developed to keep ore payrOlls up-the producers
will need to erect great new "Ore manufacturing
plants" The multi-milliOn-dOlar investments
these viii require must come from the same
pocketbOOk that pays ore taxes.
Naturally Minnesota wants its ore industry to con-
tinue yielding substantial tax revenue But the
years it will actually harvest more tax dollars if it
gives this industry, through fair treatment every
chance to survive and expand.
Why we publish these facts
We of the iron ore industry want to stay in Mime
sota-permanently.
We want to insure the future of Mnnesotas iron
wealth by investing the millions of dollars needed
to hasten development of low grade and taconte ores
We want to help make it possible for the people of
Minnesota to enjoy even greater benefits from this
expanded industry-both in dollars and jobs-for
many generations to come.
We publish these facts that no matter who vou
are, where you live what you do for living Won
may rest assured that

IOWA CITY. Ia, April 5--tR . Robert E. Bednasek was found in- nocent today of the charge that he strangled pretty Margaret Anne (Gee-Gee) Jackson in University of Iowa off-campus rooming house the early morning of last Dec. Il.

 Bednasek himself had appeared confident even before he received word that a verdict had been reached. Sheriff A. J. Murphy said he had to wake Bednasek up to give him breakfast, so soundly had the young man slept.

UNION FILES CHARGES IN (ANNERY CASE

SEATTLE, April 5ER-Rivalry between three unions for the right to represent Alaska cannery workers has assumed new tempo as one union filed unfair labor charges simultaneously against another union and the employer group, while a third union prepared to take sim liar action.
 The charges were filed with the National Labor Relations Board by Atty. c. T. Hatten on behalf of Local 7, Agriculture Food and To- bacco Workers. which has had the contract for a majority of Alaska canneries for the past several years.
 Named as defendants were the Alaska Salmon Industry and Local IT, United Clearinghouse Workers, Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions affiliate.
 The charges are based on the con- tention that the industry signed an agreement recognizing the CIO union as collective bargaining agent while an NLRB election to deter mine the bargaining agent is still pending.
 Meanwhile counsel for the Ameri- can Federation of Labor Alaska Fish Cannery Union, Atty. John Geisness. indicated similar charges against the employer group would llso be filed by the A. F. of L. union.
 The A. F. of L. union holds the contract for nonresident workers in eight canneries and resident em- ployees in Southeast Alaska.
 The Clearinghouse Workers Local was chartered here recently after the Food and Tobacco Workers was expelled from the CIO.
 Both the A. F. of L. and the CIO union petitioned the NLRB for cleo tions for bargaining rights in the canneries represented during the past years by the A.F.T.W.

NO EVIDENCE I5 PRODUCED
 BYMc(ARTHY
Asks Further Time to Se. cure Witnesses to Sup-
 port His Charges

WASHINGTON, April 5 = R = President Truman's loyalty review board has asked Senator Mccarthy R-Wis) for "any relevant evidence" he has dealing with his charges ot Communism in the State Depart ment.
 Seth w. Richardson, the Board Chairman, told a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee about the request today. The committee is in- vestigating McCarthy's contentious that Communists and Red sympa- thizers infest the State Department.

 In reply to the committees re- quest for his material, Mccarthy wrote that he could not understand the urgency. He also said that if the committee would promise hear ings next week he would produce witnesses to back up his charges.
 Before Richardson took the stand, the committee received testimony from State Department officers that continuous checks are made on the loyalty of department employees and none are known to be Com munists.

 By DREW PEARSON

VASHINGTON-Uncensored dip- lomatic cables show that an appal- ling famine, plus sweeping epidem- ics and tide of unrest are shaking the new Communist Government of China. On top of this, Russia, under pretext of aiding a sister state in distress-is sending sold- iers and administrators to turn China into complete satellite. It is situation which could play squar- ely into our hands if we play our cards right.
 The famine, now officially ad- mitted by the Communists as a "calamitous situation" affects &C., 100000 people from Shanghai to the south to Inner Mongolia in the north. Two million will die of starvation.
 The famine was caused by floods that cut production in the fertile Yangtse Valley 30 to 40 percent also blocked shipment of Manchur- ian grains to the central provinces and by withholding of crops by peasants. Farmers hid their grains and cut back growing after Com munists grabbed as much as two- thirds of their crops.
 Communist thought" committees are now going through the villages and executing peasants who fail to turn over grain levies. In the cities, an "austerity movement" requires the Chinese to give up stocks of rice on the shelves.
 Epidemics are out of control and rumor so rife that the Communists in Sikiang Province claimed that reports of bubonic plague were ''in-

TO CARRY CASE UP

DAN FNANC1SCO, ApTu o-thl- Harry Bridges CIO Longshore Union laid plans today to carry tc the Supreme Court, if necessary the fight against their leaders con- viction on a charge that he lied to conceal he was a Communist.
 Bitterly assailing yesterdays yer dict of Federal Court jury, the unions officers mapped strategy that would counter possible moves to cancel Bridges citizenship anc have him deported to Australia.
 But F. Joseph Donohue, the spe- cial prosecutor for the government in the stormy 81-day trial. said he felt certain the higher courts would find ID basis for reversal.
 May Lose Citizenship
 Donohue expressed belief tha Bridges conviction of committine perjury at his 1s45 naturalizatio, hearing would result in automatic cancellation of his citizenship, fol- lowed by deportation action. Bridges 48, and two union aides convicted with him of also conspiring to com init perjury will be sentenced Mon- day. Seven year terms and $l5,OOO fines are possible.
 From Sydney, Australia, whence Bridges shipped out in 1920 for 2 tumultuous career as a labor leader in the United States, came word by immigration officials that he probably would be allowed to return if ordered deported. Other govern ment officials took the opposite view but said no decision would ba made until an application required it.

 Its later than we think in the trend toward conformity in this country" Bridges told reporters at q news conference.

 But at the expense of being un- able to speak out-I don't know"
 Asked pointblank if he and CO., defendants, J. R. Robertson anc Henry Schmidt, were Communists Bridges grinned and asked: "What do you think the trial was al about?"
 Then he answered.
 Certainly we denied being con. nected with the Communist move yNellt. We never have been"
 Robertson and Schmidt, Interna. tional Vice Presidents, and two other officers of the Longshoremen's anc Warehousemen's Union, Louis Gold blatt and Germain Bulcke, accom- panied Bridges.
 Speaking for his co-defendants Bridges said:
 They are convinced that if they had kept their mouths shut, they would have kept out of trouble"
 His sentencing has been set fol Monday at San Francisco, at which time Bridges said some legal mo- ton will be made" But he said he did not know yet whether an appeal will be filed at that time.
