lief request. a concurrent resolu-
tion of both houses of Congress
must be passed to allow Miss Til

The District Bar Association
proposals for revising city taxes,
as explained yesterday to a con-
gresSional subcommittee, have
been introduced in the form of a
bill by Representative Smith

The measure went to the House
District Committee.
Mr.. Smith heard the plan ex-
planned yesterday before the Joint

measure, by request.
He said today the bill will be

sized the Bar Associations plan
would make no changes in the
new District sales tax. Amend
ments to the sales tax were tabled

STATEHOOD REQUESTED
 BY TRUMAN
President Urges Action by Congress, Fourth Time,
 Alaska, Hawaii
AP Special Washington Service

AP Specal Washington Service
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-tR- President Truman today urged Con- sress for the fourth time to grant statehood to Alaska and Hawaii.
 He said it is "The duty of the elected representatives of the people" to let these and other civil rights proposals come to a vote.
 The Delegates to Congress from Hawaii and Alaska expressed grati- f.catiOn that the President specifi- cally called for statehood for the two Territories in his annual State of the Union message.
 Twice before, President Truman nas made similar specific appeals n messages opening new session of Congress. In February, 1948, he called for statehood for Hawaii md Alaska in a special message on civil rights legislation.
 Last year, the President urged enactment of his complete civil rights program, without specific mention of statehood.
 The Presidents appeal today was made in these words.
 EXTEND BENEFlTS'
 "As we go forward in achieving greater economic security and greater opportunity for all our people, we should make every effort to extend the benefits of our Demo- cratic institutions to every citizen The religious ideals which we pro- fess. and the heritage of freedom which we have received from the past, clearly place that duty upon us.
 T again urge the Congress to enact the civil rights proposals j made in February, 1948. These arc proposals for the enactment oi federal statutes which VIII protect all our people in the exercise of their democratic rights and their search for economic opportunity grant statehood to Alaska and Hawaii, provide a greater measure of self-government for our island possessions, and accord home rule to the District of Columbia.

 Magnuson said the commission would act as an arm of the State Department in the negotiations. He told a reporter the plan is to join the Pacific and Great Eastern rail- road owned by the province of British Columbia and the U. s. Alaskan railroad
 I'm very pleased that negotia- tions are beginning" Magnuson said
 He sa d the proposed railroad, running about 1,400 miles through Northern British Columbia and the Southern Yukon would be great thing" for Alaskan defense and open the Hast great frontier" on the continent for economic develop ment.

TAIPEH, Formosa, Jan. 4-R- Chinese Navy reports today said parts of the Russian Asiatic fleet, including more than 20 submarines, had moved into ice free Dairen. Red held North China port
 Nationalist leaders here suspect that any attempt by Chinese Com munists to invade Formosa would come from Dairen and Tsingtao, another Communist North China port, instead of from the mainland 100 miles to the west of Formosa.
 Intelligence reports of the Na- tionalists say the Chinese Reds have bought 20 British tank landing ships and numerous motorboat en- zines in Hong Kong.
 Reports say the Chinese Com munists in the north have been concentrating ships for the even- tual assault on Formosa expected soon Russian assistance in tho formation of the Communist am- phibious operation is suspected by the Nationalists.

By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4-Here is the inside story of what happened at the all-important White House conference last week called to dis cuss the crisis in the Far East. President Truman himself presided over the meeting and seemed just as anxious as the military to do something atout the strategic islalfd of Formosa.
 The meeting began with a pre- sentation by the Chief of Staff, Gen. Omar Bradley, and Under secretary of Defense Steve Early. They pointed out that General MacArthur had urgently cabled Washington on the subject of For mosa and recommended the use ot both US. troops and naval vessels to block an invasion of Formosa by the Chinese Reds. It was further recommended that large amount of money be immediately made available to the Chiang Kai-shek group to speed the protection of Formosa
 Bradley read memo from Gen. eral MacArthur in which he ex- pressed the opinion that the United States should take title to Formosa and protect it with American troops from Japan. MacArthur justified this on the ground that there has teen no Japanese treaty as yet, therefore, Formosa technically could still be kept in American hands as part of it's occupation duty toward Japan
 Secretary of state 4 eneson sat calm aiia relaxed thICLgh this dis cussion which seemed to impress President Truman.
 ACHESON ARGUES
 When the other side had finished, however, Acheson opened up with few blunt facts. He pointed out that Formosa was not like Greece where the Truman Doctrine had Teen successful in suppressing Com munism He read detailed reports showing that Formosa was tiny, overpacked island, full of dissident elements, and that, while Japan had mistreated the Formosan people for more than 30 years. the For mosans hated the Chinese even more.

Bridges al Communist
 1884 Meet

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4-tR- A newspaperman who said he was long, time Communist testified today he attended a Communist Party meeting with Harry Bridges in Fresno in 1884.
 The new government witness was Lawrence Ross, 46, who identified himself in his testimony as pres ently managing editor of trade paper in Memphis, Tenn. He didn't identify the paper. He was a Com munist, he said, from early 1892 until 1887.
 Bridges, head of the CIO long, shore union. is on trial in Fed eral Court here. charged with per- jury. The government said he lied when, in his 1945 naturalization hearing, he swore he was not q Communist. He was born in Aus tralia. On trial with him, charged with conspiracy, are Henry Schmidt and J. R. Robertson, both high longshore union officers.
 Ross testified that the Fresno meeting was near the end of 1884"
 The witness said he was notilN,d of the Fresno meeting by Elmer Hanoff, whom he identified as then organizational secretary of the Communist Party for the district.
 He said the first time he heard Bridges speak was in a meeting in San Francisco in 1895. He went there with Hanoff, he testified. The meeting, as he understood it, was for a discussion of the mari- time situation as it affected the Communists. He told the jury that everyone there was known to him to be Communist. Ross said he heard Bridges speak, couldn't remember what he said, but recalls he was rather impress sed."
