Alaska Road Com mission Program For 1850

The work of the Alaska Road Commission for 1850 will include a large program of road mainten- ance, reconstruction, and new construction in most of the inhab- ited regions of Alaska. Funds for carrying out the program are con- tained in the department of the in- teriOr appropriation act (not yet passed by Congress-, together with Alaska Territorial road funds un- der a cooperative agreement, and funds contributed by private in- terests for specific road purposes.
 The program contemplates an increase of approximately thirty six per cent maintenance over last year. As the mileage of roads is increased year by year and as the standard of the roads is improved, more money is required for their maintenance. Also, traffic has greatly increased and most of the roads must be kept open in winter as well as in summer. Year round maintenance is planned for the Alaska Highway, Glenn Highway, part of the Richardson Highway, and many local roads.
 Maintenance and snow clear ance on some of the local roads cannot be assumed with Federal funds of the Alaska Road Com mission, because of lack of money.
 The largest single improve ment now under way is the paw ing program. Tn 1949. 145 miles

tBY O. H. P. King)

TOKYO, (P)-A leading Japan csc commander of World War II said yesterday that plane-carrying submarines crossed the Pacific at will early in the war.
 Meiji Tagami, a former subma- rine commander who made three such trips, told the Associated Press in an exclusive interview that the submarines and planes made attacks all the way from Alaska to southern California.
 The main purpose, he said, was to sink as much U. s. shipping as possible, harass West Coast ports, and stir up the citizens. But at least one mission he described as a retaliation for the Doolittle bombing of major Japanese cit ies."
 Tagami claims his submarine sank a heavy cruiser and shelled Port Stevens at the mouth of the Columbia River, while his subma- rine's plane flew over Oregon to attempt to set forest fires.
 (The forest service in Oregon said one fire was set and easily put out The shells aimed at Fort Stevens landed far from any in stallations).
 He declared at least 12 other Japanese submarines carrie d planes to the West Coast and at tempted missions.
 Tagami said the Doolittle re- taliation mission required the con- struction of six special incendiary

Nationalist Chinese predicted today mainland communists will soon reach for two vital islands -Chusan and Quemoy-as step ping stones to Formosa, Chiang Kai Shek's last major bastion.
 The Nationalists at Taipei, For mosa, charged yesterday that the Russians are supplying warplanes and airmen to bolster the Chinese communists air force. They ex- pressed fear the Reds would have an effective air umbrella when they start their long threatened invasion of the islands still in Ma tiOnalist hands.
 Indonesian soldiers who revolt ed against the federal Indonesian government at Makassar, Celebes, appeared today to be still in con trol of that famous spice island port. East IndOneSia'S Premier Diapari has been ordered to Ja- karta to report to the federal gov ernment on the revolt in which l5 federal soldiers were killed yesterday.
 The outbreak is due to the in- ability of the federal government and the Dutch-spOnsored state to reconcile their differences and share authority.
 The United States has turned down a Czechoslovakian request that eight fliers who engineered a mass escape of Czechs in three planes that reached the American zone of Germany be returned for trial.
 In a note to the Czech foreign ministry at Prague the U. s. em- bassy said the eight are legitimate political refugees and have been given asylum in the west lin ac- cordanCe with humanitarian prin- ciples."

Can business stand an excess prof
its tax? Certainly
Look at these official statistics
from the Commerce Department:
In the 9-year period from 1910
through 1949 the total amout of
money paid out in the United States
for wages and salaries increased 164
per cent. But in that same period
corporate profits before taxes shot
up 220 per cent. The after-taxes
figure is 1914 per cent.
In 1889 wage-salary total was 500
billion. In 1949 it was SAG billion.
Right now it looks as if the 1850
total will be STAT billion.
Corporate profits, after taxes
amounted to SIS billion in 1889 and
S17.5 billion in 1949 The 1850 fig
ure probably will be $40 billion.

Well friends, let's not kid ourselves

is rapidly approaching. And when /
say Bust, I'm not referring to female
wearing apparel I'm referring to our
capitalist economy of waste and scar
city. America is going socialist. simply
because there is no other way to go.
oh, not this year and possibly not next
year but we are on our way and it is
strictly up to us as citizens to determ-
inc whether we are going to arrive at
our destination through the peaceful
democratic, American way, which has
characterized all permanent progress
or whether through apathy we permit a
coterie Of warmongering profiteers and
financial feudalists to force US into
fascist dictatorship which we will
eventually be compelled to overthrow
before we can adopt a sane, economic
and peaceful life
The cards are stacked against us I'm
willing to admit. The Korean debacle
is the first hand dealt out but it still
isn't a pat hand" our war-mongers
and their spineless syncophants are
playing every trick at their command
to involve our country in third world
war. They induce rabble-rousers to
point with alarm at Red China and
Russia. Thus far we have seen no |
evidence worthy of consideration to be- |
lieve that either Russia or China is |
