 More than Is local fishermen showed up at the marine company shop yesterday to work on the boat and work progressed so well that it was estimated the repair job-minus painting g-would be finished by Wednesday.

DAV!D5 BEAT SITKA
 BUT WEATHER
 THE WINNER HERE

The House of David cage stars were chewing their boards today. The Alaska weather had done what few basketball teams had been able to do-it had them stopped.
 They had beat the Alaska Native Brotherhood team in Sitka by a cool 24 points Saturday night--th didn't remember the exact score. The game was played before the biggest crowd they played before in Alaska and on the best floor, they said through their whiskers.
 But they wanted to leave for the south. They have played 93 games since November 5, losing only three, and there are more games waiting for them in the states.
 We cancelled out three games down there so we could play at Ju- neau and Sitka," H. Witte, their business manager, said today. Now it looks like we won't be able to play our game tonight against the Harlem Globe Trotters at Tacoma"
 He pulled some strings and tried some angles.
 Then he said, with a look of dis appointment: Tt doesn't look like we'll get out today, either. No planes going south from here"
 It's not that the be-whiskered hoopmen like flying. They don't, Witte pointed out. They'd rather ride a bus.
 They seem to get airsick," he said They're lot better at bas- ketball than flying"
 He looked at the sky. It didn't look good for flying. The ceiling was so low his tall hoopsters had to bend to keep their heads out of the clouds.
 We've got another game sched- uled against the Globe Trctters in Seattle tomorrow night We'll prob ably have to cancel that, too, , Witte said sadly. Are there any busses going south from here?"

Hike Taxes Or
Cut Costs Is
Nation Problem

To help American families
solve their money problems the
United States Government is cur
rently issuing as least one pam
phlet showing people how to keep
household spending within the
bounds of family income.
But here is what the Council
of State Chambers of Commerce
finds Uncle Sam is doing in his
own Federal household:
The Federal Government will
spent about SIS u billion more this
year than the S3612 billion it will
collect in revenues. 1t is expected
to do substantially the same thing
in 1851.
In only two years out of the
last 20 lin 1947 and 1948) has the
Federal Government balanced
its budget by living within its in
come. In that time the public
debt has risen from SIT billion
to $3.50 billion.
To return to a balanced budget,
the Council finds the Federal
Government may do one of two
things: either increase taxes or
reduce spending.
But taxes of one kind or an
other are already taking more
than a quarter of the peoples in
come.
And as to reducing Federal
spending, the question always
asked is, "Where?" Two senators,
Harry F. Byrd of Virginia and
Paul Douglas, of Illinois, have Of
fered some detailed answers to
that S64 question with respect to
the 1851 Federal spending bud
get.
Senator Byrd, among other
things, would eliminate $50, 900
civilian jobs in non-military a.
gencies, lop off another 10000
civilians from Military Establish
