A FEAR OF IDEAS

The tragedy of age is ear-not of things but of men and ideas-declares Althea K HoteI Dean of Wo- at the University of Pennsylvania who points out that our fear of Russia is producing negative rather than positive foreign and domestic policies.
 The lady points out that the Marshall Plan, which be- gan as courageous and positive proposal responsive to the realities of the world situation became in the present Congress definite operation under the influ ence of our fears"
 There be doubt of the correctness of the gt of the deans remarks The people of the United States exhibiting fear of ideas, and things and because they do not understand everything fall easy prey to propaganda that leads them like flock to conclusions that to say the least are not established by proof.

ADVOCATE SECOND JUDGE FOR THIRD DIVISION

Hearings will be held on April g by a subcommittee on the House judiciary committee on Delegate Bartlett's bill providing for a sec ond fedora ljudge for the Third Division.
 An additional judge was recom- mended by the 1947 Territorial Legislature and has been endors- ed in 1949 by the Judicial Confer ence of the Ninth Circuit, of which Alaska is a part, and also last year by the Judicial Confer ence of the United States. Dele gate Bartlett's enabling legislation has the support also of the Ad- ministrative office of United States Courts and the Justice De- partment.
 Records indicate that in the fis- cal year 1940, 198 civil cases were begun in the Third Division, l93 terminated and the number pend- ing at the end of the year was no. Nine years later, during the 1949

Alaska Statehood Hearings To Start Monday, April 24

'(4') Special Washington SerVice)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of the Interior Chapman is eX- peCted to be the first witness Monday when the Senate interior committee begins its study of bills to grant statehood to Alaska.
 Committee attaches said today that since Chapman is to be the only cabinet officer to testify in the hearing, he undoubte d y would be called first.
 They said the second witness favoring statehood will probably represent the defense or state de- partment.
 But those opposing Alaskan statehood plan to present their side of the case too.
 Committee officials said they do not yet have the names of all those favoring or opposing state hood who will testify. The list of proponents is being prepared by Gov. Ernest Gruening, who will support the bill himself.
 Committee officials said some persons who wished to testify have written they fear coming to Washington because they have been summoned as witnesses be- fore a federal grand jury investi- gating monopoly at Anchorage.
 The committee took that up with the justice department, the officials said, and was assured that any witness for or member of the grand jury who makes af- fidavit that he is to testify before the Senate committee will be ex- cused from grand jury proceed ings.
 The committee plans to devote all next week to witnesses on the bill,
 The following week it will hear witnesses for and against state hood for Hawaii.

THE CASE OF THE VANISHING $500

(By Fred c. Clark and Richard Stanton RimanOcZy)
 For all of who not rich, tax bill is like an iceberg the part we can see is the smallest part the part that is hidden is real danger
 The total income tax bill of the A million of us who get less than $5000 is about billions dollars this av- erages about $2O0.
 But we 45 million pay an average hidden tax bill of at least $500.
 The case of the rich is different. The 174,000 rich" taxpayers, whose income is over $25O00 pay average income tax bill of about 15OOO
 They also pay the hidden taxes that pay, but instead of these hidden taxes being two and one-hat times great their income tax they only about one-tenth
 So in spite of all the talk about getting taxes out of the rich, the total hidden tax paid by the rich IS chckenfeed compared to the hidden taxes that we pay
 AS matter of fact it could not be otherwise because their total income is chicken feed compared to total income.
 To be specifc the rich only get about 70 of the national income and if the Government took 1t all the amount would pay less than three weeks of the Govern ments expense.

Aliens Charges Badly Twisted, Says SS. Official

SEATTLE - We were cer- tainly amazed and embarrassed by the fallaciouS and wholly un- founded report by Robert s. Allen from Washington last week, at tacking our president, MT. G. w. Skinner, and the Alaska Steam ship Company" Admiral F. A. ZeuSler, executive assistant to the president of the line said in Seat tie.
 However" he continued, i've imagine the secretary of the inte- rior and the attorney general were as much embarrassed as we were to find their names in Al lens column"
 Zeusler pointed out that al though frequently disproved, the charges published by Allen have been voiced again and again by those who give lip service to Alaska development, but who take every opportunity to destroy , the very basis on which that can be achieved.
 "Water transportation has for years been political football in Alaska" Zeusler sadi. "The emo tional charge of exhorbit n freight rates has been made ire quently. And certainly no one wants to pay cent more than he must for services, and so this charge has general appeal. But this charge was fully explored by the United States Maritime commission in the Alaska rate in vestigation No. 3, Docket No. 66l in 1947 and 1948 and completely disproved."
 Reporting on their findings in this investigation, the Maritime Commission examiners, sta e d ''The record reveals an element of bitterness between the respond ents on the one hand and The Territory on the other. No service can attain high degree of eff cient and economical operation without a cooperation and good faith between labor and manage ment, the support of public off cials and an atmosphere of good will on the part of the general public. Unless such destructive antagonism disappears, the possi- bly of better operations at lower rates is remote"
 Notwithstanding this objective report certain elements continue to show strong antagoniSm," Zeus- Ter charged "This antagonism has not been limited to transpor- tation companies, however. In fact it has persisted against all lab Sentee corporations doing buSi- ness in Alaska. While maligning the present industries on one hand, this element has invited new industries to come into Alaska on the other. That they have not responded in mass is not remark able. However, the fact that they have avoided the Territory has prevented the development of a two-way haul for water trans portation companies-an import ant factor in determining the present rate structure about which Allen complains" Zeusler pointed

Further Study Of
 Aboriginal Rights

 of the interior Chapman in his an nual report called for further in- vcstigation and study of the ques- ton of aboriginal rights in Alas ka.
 There is not yet unanimity of opinion on the method of hand iling this problem" Chapman said, and further investigation and study of native rights undoubted- ly will be required"
 The secretary said the fiscal year ending June 30, 1949, saw greater progress in and for Alas ka than for many years. He re- viewed President Truman's re- quest for development of the Ter rltory and its admittance to state hood.
 Chapman said the most signifi- cant development during the year was the revising of the Territory'S tax system. He said it could not be put into effect until Congress approved it. This lag, he said, faced the Territory with short age of funds until actual collec- tions started after the first of the nnI nI@nI fhot sure on the Territorial treasury now will be relieved. Chapman said that while 7,500 vehicles crossed the Alaskan bor- ] der on the Alaska Highway dur ing 1948 'it may still be said that the tourist potential is almost un- developed" He said the great bulk of people arriving are either new settlers or workers looking for jobs.
 He said facilities along the highway are not adequate to ac- l commodate any sizeable number of tourists.
 "It seems likely that the lead in developing such accommoda- tions may have to be taken by the government" he said.
 Chapman said that road build ing has been accelerated. He hail. ed the Alaska Housing program as means of improving living conditions and the public works program, now threatened with re- duction by the House as another step toward aiding communities to improve community facilities.
 He said he believed actual work toward construction of pulp and paper mills in the TongasS Forest area should begin this year and bring to the Territory it's first year-around payroll.
 He said that for the first time isolated sections of the Aleutians are getting regular mail service while use of Canadian vessels has improved transportation between Alaskan towns.
 He said the Alaska Railroad re- mobilization program is progress ing well and the civil aeronautics administration is planning to con- struct additional airfields in the Territory.
 The agricultural program, he said, is of great importance. His report estimated there are 12.O00 acres of crop lands in the Terri tory and last years agricultural

Three more new cookery books
have come my way-and I'd like
to share them with you.
1.-THE Salad Cook Book" by Louis
P. De Gouy, author of the now
famous Gold Cook Book" and
others, published by Greenberg,
$3.50, is beamed at the housewife
in the hope of improving her
salad technique. In general M. De
Gouy does a good job at this, but
admit he shook me badly by in
cluding a few such ladies lunch
con horrors such as "The Dripping
Candida piece of banana stuck
in a slice of pineapple, the banana
artistically dripping whipped
cream to represent wax, plus an
orange peel wick" - Banana
Stuffed with Peanuts" and a
terrific combination of marsh
mallows, pineapple. cherries and
EngllSn WdlnuCS.
In a book so full of really cpl
curean salad recipes. these and a
few others like them have nc
place, in my humble opinion
Housewives do need "refreshers'
on salads, and the book offers
many unusual and delightful ideas
but why encourage the gals in
their misdeameanors? M. De Gouy
defeats his own purpose when he
permits such items to slip into his
pages.
The Mennonite Community
Cook Book of Favorite Family
Recipes" by Mary Emma Showal-
ter is a gem. Authorized by the
Mennonite Community Associa-
ton, Scottdale, Pa, it is published

doodles, Snitz and Knepp-all of
the old timers you have wanted to
know more about. The book is
handsomely presented, and would
make a wonderful hostess or
shower gift.
Cooking for company" by Ruth
Mills league, is a party" cook
book of menus and recipes that is
practically a MUST if you go in
for entertaining. Published by
Random House. Inc, $3.50. it is
intended as a practical help to the
woman who likes to give parties

domestic staff to do it for her.
