This Night
Truman Expected 10 Tell Us
10 Prepare for Great
er Sacrifices
BY JACK BELL

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is = Up
President Truman calls on Amer
leans tonight to unite in greater
sacrifices behind the critical effort
to build up the free worlds military
might.
The tempo of that effort was al
ready being speeded up rapidly, but
members of Congress and others
were demanding definite manpower
and production goals.
Mr.. Truman, speaking at 7:30 pm.
PST) on radio and television, plans
to outline the home front sacrifices
he thinks are necessary to meet
the grave crisis of military defeats
in Korea and the threat of new
Communist aggression elsewhere.
A declaration of national emer-
gency-to speed up military con-
tract letting and put the country
nearer to war basis-seemed GER
tain either as prelude or after
math of the Presidents speech.
This could be accompanied or
followed by selective price and wage
controls. Most speculation was that
their application would be gradual
while personnel lis being built up
to administer them.
President Truman outlined to his
cabinet today what Attorney Cen
eral McGrath called the general
tone of the speech. Aside from say
ing the subjects in the speech are
important, McGrath would not dis
cuss it,

By DREW PEARSON

w ASHINGTON-A Senate COM
mittee will take the hide off the
munitions board next week Off fail
ing to stockpile WOOL SO urgently
needed for shivering troops in
Korea.
In a blistering report, the Sem
ate preparedness subcommittee
headed by fortnight Lyndon john
son of Texas, will charge the NUM-
tons board with "shortsightedness
that will cost the taxpayers min
imum of many million dollars"
Two months ago this column
warned of the wool shortage and
revealed munitions board failure
to stockpile.
While the munitions board was
obviously doing plenty of wool
gathering" says the Senate COM
mittee, none of it was for the
stockpile. Today the United
States--faced with the prospect of
long winter campaign in Korea
and the maintenance of a three
million-man armed force-has no
wool in stockpile, no wool in inven-
tory and less than enough vol in
prospect through domestic produc-
ton. Training men with wooden
guns in 1910 and 1941 was tragic.
But the prospect of outfitting
men in clothing inadequate to pro-
tect them from the elements is a
greater tragedy still.
1.-THE munitions board was not
created to underwrite complacency,

Territorial Tax Collections
ForFirst11 Months Of 1850
Reported Over Nine Million

Territorial tax collections for the
first IL months of 1850 totaled &c.
027,601.10.
The figures were given out by
M. p. Mullaney, Territorial Tax
Commissioner, who said full re-
port would be made in booklet
form after the first of next year
Mullaney called collections the
highest in Territorial history.
Largest single source was the in
come tax, with $3,180,205.92 paid
through November 20. Second larg-
est was the tax on raw fish, net
ting $1,399,913.05. Third was the
excise tax on liquor, 81 1857 ,59l.69.
BY Divisions
Totals by divisions were:
First (JuneaU 1925. 4l1.92; Sc
cond (Nome) $203, 1886; Third
(Anchorage) $4,l58, 1902; Fourth
(Fairbanks) $1,400,31990.
Collections this year, with those
of 1949, bring the total thus lar
in the biennium to $l5,193, 725. IA.
Mullaney predicted an additional
$2,500,000 would be collected, bring
ing total revenues to near $l8.000.-
900.
The Anchorage division paid
more than half the total revenue
for the territory from the motor
fuel tax, automobile license plates,
drivers licenses and school tax.
The division paid almost half the
total from tobacco and business Ii
cense taxes.
Tax records reflected the dif-
ferences in the economy Of the var
ious divisions.
Lead in Sc. Alaska
Southeast Alaska led all divisions
in revenues from Fishermen's Ii
censes and fish license taxes. An
chorage and Fairbanks provided
virtually the entire $l7.844 in driver
licenses. The Panhandle produced
only $2,187 and the Nome division
only 1888 under this item, while
Anchorage paid more than $4,000
and Fairbanks more than $1,000.
Revenues from license plates
showed the same geographical dis
tribution.
From Punch Boards
Collections of $685. were made
from punchboards. which are illegal
under existing laws. Most punch
board revenue came from south
east Alaska. Punchboards were vir-
tually eliminated in Anchorage af-
ter authorities confiscated and des-
troyed those they found in several
raids.
Mullaney said heavy collections
are due on Jan. Is under the raw
fish taxes for 1850. and additional
funds will come from income tax
and the business license tax due
March is.
Compilations were based on the
calendar year, although the Terri
tory's fiscal year does not coincide.
