Grueningg States Statehood Bill
 Has A Lot of Room For Improvement"

Continued from Page One) whelming percentage" of the peo- pie of New York want Alaska to have statehood.
 AlaSka's Governor Ernest Gruening, not a scheduled wit ness, took the stand briefly to dis cuss a disputed point involving the right-of-way along the Alas kan Highway.
 Senator Eckton R.-MontD had asked whether statehood would remove federal control of this "most desirable" frontage land along the highway.
 Gruening said the 600 foot right of way was typical example "of what might not happen" if Alaska had voting membership in the House and Senate.
 "When that issue came up," he said, field agents of the interior department recommended a 300 foot right-of-way for Class A roads, 200 for Class B and 200 for Class C.
 But the interior department in Washington overrode this re- commendation. It imposed "blan- ket" 600-foot right-of-way which he said, is unfair to roadside ho- tel and restaurant operators.
 "This is exactly the type of bur- eaucracy we don't want" he said. It would not continue, he added, if Alaska were a state"
 Gruening said Alaska has al- most twice as much coaStline as the Continental United States. When it came to cutting out a coast guard station, he said, the one cut out was the only one Alas ka had.
 "The Representatives and Sen ators of all the States having coast guard stations descended on the commandant of the coast guard" he said-and added that Alaska

"SOyiets and U. :. Accommodating
 The Others Coast

Continued from Page One) the SoViets of shooting down the unarmed American plane over the open Baltic Sea.
 MoScoW'S version is that a U. s. plane of the B-29 type appeared over Latvia, disregarded Soviet warnings to land, exchanged gun fire with Russian planes and dis appeared toward the sea.
 Young, in saying Russia and the United States are each en- gagged in coastal reconnoitering, recalled the loss of an American submarine in Arctic waters last year and the recent frequent re- ports of unidentified submarines off the Pacific U. S coast. He said: Russian submarines have appear ed off our coasts"
 AS for the plane, Young said: "It is significant that there were three radar experts in our plane. It is highly important that this nation test the effectiveness of the Russian radar net.
 Our aviators may be said to be making routine practice flights but you may be sure they are ren- dering important service to our country and they are risking their lives for us on every mission they make"
 The navy, advised of Young's statement, said. "Th navy will continue to fly it's planes where international law permits, and will fly unarmed."
 The American submarine lost last year was the Cochino. The navy announced Aug. 26 that it exploded and burned while en- gagged in cold water training ex- ercises. Six navy submariners and a civilian technician were lost. Af- ter the rescue, the Tusk put in at Hammerfast. That is a port at the northern tip of Norway.

TALE OF THE RUBLE
Washington Post)

(WaShlngtOn POSt)
 The rube does not circulate outside Russia, and the dollar sterling which is tied to the dollar at the pres ent of $280 to the pound used the basis of measurement in foreign deals with Western countries Thus the revauation of the rbe will have little effect Russias trade with this part of the world. However might that in future the U S. S. R. intends to put it's barter trade with satellite countries ruble basis If that happens the terms of trade will be altered to their disadvantage, since the Russians by keeping ruble prices for exported goods unchanged could de- mand more goods of their satellites in exchange.
 The announcement that the special diplomatic rate of exchange fixed eight rubes to the dollar is to be changed to a six-rube rate and abandoned after July

wil however, result in large boost in the already tremely high costs of the United States Embassy in Moscow That is way of fleecng foreigners The in creased value of the ruble in terms of gold may also porend cuts in Russias gold production since gold mining is being carried at great cost at the present time It is surmsed that Russia may be planning to ob tain additional gold supplies at the parity rate for rubes from Roania and other satellites But that is sheer speculation.

THE CASE OF THE VANISHING $500

(By Fred c. Clark and Richard Stanton Rimanoczy) Many people trying to do something to cut. down this tax bll and they getting exactly nowhere.
 We believe that it is because most of them going at it the wrong way.
 Every time they get in argument about it, they are stopped cold in their tracks with this kind of question: ing: What Government expense would you cut down? Would you take any of the money from national de fense, starving Europeans, veterans un- der privileged farmers etc., etc., etc.,"
 As long economy y-rnnded people go at it this way, they can't win they put in a position of being against something, particularly against the "we- fare of the people,"
 There are always lot of tears shed for the need of social welfare heath and security yet no seems to notice that only 6o of the Federal budget for these purposes.
 Our mistake arguing with the politicians instead of telling them.
 What do you do at home when your taxes go up and your spendable income goes down?
 You tell your wife Honey, this is all there is, there isn't any more. 'Ths is what going to live on, and it's up to us to figure out how.
 You don't say: We can't cut off the 5000 month we have been sending Uncle Joe" or We cant get along without car.
 You just sit down and sweat it out
 The Governments money problem is different from your money problem.
 You live within certain income because you have to-
 The Government doesn't live within any certain n- come because it doesn't have to.
 But if it did have to-, you would be amazed at how much more efficient and economical Government could be.
 Nobody watches the pennies because they want to; they watch them only when they have to.

Mystery Blast Wrecks Seattle Apartment Bldg.

CContinIed from Page One' known. Police Capt. R. F. Ma honey said several firemen re- ported a strong smell of illumin- ating gas throughout the struc- ture.
 Ray Sonnenberg, who occupied a third floor apartment with his wife, likened the blast to the shock of an earthquake. The cou- pie was among those temporarily trapped when the rear of the building caved in.
 Bremen raised ladders to the windows, but the couple reached the ground by clearing a way down a flight of debris-covered outside steps.
 i've been ill and this is my first trip outside since Septem- ber," Sonnenberg said. 'I don't like it."
 The two most seriously injured were listed at the hospital as MT. and Mrs. s. V. Jones. Both were suffering from head and internal injuries. Their small daughter, Kathleen, between two and three years old, also was hospitalized with burns.
 Fire chief William Fitzgerald said the owners were Mir. and Mrs. Oren Diamond. Both were out of the city. He said Diamond was fishing in Alaska and Mrs. Diamond was visiting friends in Port Angeles, across Puget Sound.

 He said the bill before the com mittee, already passed by the House, has lot of room for inn provement.
 But we'd rather take it as it is and then solve it's defects," he told the committee, quoting the old saw about a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
 "The basic thing we want is self-rule," he said. "We now have two masters-the federal bureaus and the Congressional commit tees"
 Zachery Loussac, mayor of An chorage and former Alaskan busi- nessman, testified that the war brought new era to Alaska.
 He estimated the Territory's present population at l27,OOO, up from 92,OOO in 194O.
 Senator Anderson D.-N. MD acting committee chairman in the absence of chairman O'Mahoney D.-Wyo) questioned the 92,O0O.
 He said census bureau figures show that Alaska's 194O popula- ton was about 72,000. Loussac said he was aware of that, but that he felt 92,O0O was a truer fig ure.
 "We are entitled to statehood" Loussac said, land we shouldn't have to beg for it."
 Irene Ryan, mining engineer, told the committee that many of the Alaskan opponents to state hood are not permanent residents.
 A l946 vote showed two Dis tricts for and two against state hood.
 "The ones who voted against it won't stay in Alaska" she said.
 Senator Butler CR.-NebD said Monday that one of his major ob- jections to the Alaska statehood bil is the land provisions.
 He favors giving the Territory half the public land instead of four sections in each township. He has offered an amendment for such a provision.
 He reiterated his position on the land issue in explaining his ex- pressed belief that the people of Alaska have not yet been offered "an acceptable proposition"

Subcommittee Also
Will Take Up Omnibus
Fund Measure

Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee plans
to appoint an executive subcom-
mittee to handle the separate Dis
trict 1851 supply bill and all chap
ters of the big omnibus appropria-
tions measure for the Federal
Government.
Returning today from his home
State of Missouri, Mr.. Cannon said
he will make the appointments

cedure set up for the one-package
1851 appropriation bill, will con-
slider the Districts budget. After
the District bill is agreed to by the
full Appropriations Committee, it
will be sent to the House floor.
Under plans previously an
nounced, the District appropria-
tions bill will not be added to the
omnibus measure, but will be de-
bated by the House as separate
piece of legislation.
The District measure will not
include the Federal payment to-
ward city costs as it has in the
past. This payment of $12 million
will be put in the omnibus bill
as charge against Federal
revenue.
The District budget went to
Congress early in January at a
figure of about $119 million. After
hearings by the Bates subcommit-
tee, it is reported to have been
cut by SIS million or $6 million.

Virginia Milk Agency
Unlikely 10 Act Before
ApriI | on Price Cuts

The three-man Virginia Milk
Commission today faced the pros
pect of going through some $50
pages of testimony, plus rebuttal
briefs. before deciding whether to
cut the price of milk for Washing
ton area consumers.
Acting Chairman Virgil P. Ran
dolph. jr.. of Richmond, who
presided at yesterdays hearing
in Alexandria. gave producers and
distributors until March II to
file briefs.
He declined to say when the
commission might reach it's deci-
sion. but it appeared unlikely
that any price change would be
made before April /.
Day-Long Hearing.
The day-long hearing drew a
large number of producers but
only a sprinkling of consumers.
Three dairies, Chestnut Farms
Chevy Chase, Alexandria and
Thompson's. asked for an i'm
mediate reduction of w cents a
quart for retail milk.
The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association re-
quested a wholesale reduction
equivalent to about one cent a
quart and asked that it become
effective April /.
However, it developed that some
of the associations members
don't go along with the coop on
cutting prices. w. Lawson King,
a large Montgomery County dairy
farmer, said a price reduction
would not be "fair" to producers
and would cut the milk supply.
Montgomery County Agent o.
w. Anderson testified that, if the
commission is going ito be so
kind-hearted" as to cut milk
prices, then steps should be taken
to eliminate unlicensed milk from
entering the market. The asso-
citation estimated between 12,200
and $4,000 gallons of milk are
coming in daily from outside this
area.
Dairy spokesmen conceded this
milk, which is being offered at a
lower price, is hurting their busi-
ness.
Conflicting Testimony.
Much of the questioning of wit
nesses dwelt on the subject of the
unlicensed milk. There also was
conflicting testimony on the
farmers cost of producing milk,
with producer witnesses insisting
costs are still high and distribu-
tors saying they have dropped.
Near the end of the hearing,
B. B. Derrick. secretary-treasurer
of the association, complained the
dairies have been liberal with
testimony on producer costs but
that they have failed to submit
any figures on their operations.
Mr.. Derrick sought in vain to
be given Is days in which to pre-
pare briefs, but Mr.. Randolph
stuck by his ruling of 10 days.
Sitting with Mr.. Randolph was E.
E. Millner of Newport News, dis
tributor representative. Mark
Turner. farmer representative, Of
Herndon, was not present.
