 Shortly after the presidents message was read in the house and senate, the house appropria- tions committee disclosed that the treasury department has added the third major point in the ad- ministration's tax program: a crackdown on tax dodgers of the middle-income brackets who do not report all their taxable in- come.
 Reaction to MT. Truman's tax ideas was sharp.
 It indicated:
 1. The tax bill congress finally whips together may slash excises wen beyond MT. Truman's recom- menoations-possibly as much as $1,O0O,OO0,OO0 to $1,5O0,O00,000. The president said he couldn't sign any bill reducing excises un- less it provided for replacing tine lost revenue.

 Bartlett told the house that the same arguments that were used to oppose statehood for Alaska were used 100 years ago to oppose statehood for California. He said Alaska has served an 80-year ap- premiership and was entitled to become a state. He said that under territorial law citizens of Alaska were not granted the same privi- legeS extended to citizens in the United States and that they were just as much entitled to all privi-. leges of citizenship as any other
 He said the territory was ready for statehood. that the people had voted two to one for statehood and were ready to assume the addi- tiOnal expense of it.
 Rep. Miller, California demo- crat, agreed with Bartlett that the same arguments used to oppose Alaska statehood were used to op- pose California statehood.
 Bartlett said that Alaska had approximately 10000 population which he said was more than that of many of the states when they were granted statehood.
 Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska said he is extremely gratified" that the house has finally agreed to vote on the Alaska statehood bill.
 He told a reporter that. until yesterdays decision, there was m assurance of action on the state hood measure at this session of congress.
 He said he does not regard as serious the dispute yesterday on whether the FEPC bill should have been considered ahead of the Alaska bill.
 "I can hardly imagine that he situation will be used against AL aska," he said. "I assume that the FEPC bill will be considered on it's merits in due course"
