side of that primary. Ike's name has been entered on both the COP and Demo tickets, which makes oregon the most significant test of political strength in the country namely, Eisenhower vs. Taft and Eisenhower vs. Truman.
 Inside Washington Dictator Franco may be scratching the bar rel back in Spain, but he seems to have plenty of dough to spend on lobbying in Washington. Chief Franco lobbyist Charles Patrick Clark sometimes passes out $20 tips to Mayflower Hotel walters when ordering sandwiches and coffee. Down in Texas, they are not feeling so lush. The City of Houston has been struggling for some months to raise S8,51055 to pay it's enter tainment bill for Douglas MacAr- thur. Glenn Mccarthy, the Houston hotel owner, is even putting the bite on San Antonio, Ft. Worth and Austin to help out, while in Athens, Texas, (noted for peaches, peas, potatoes, peanuts, pigs, pot tery, petroleum and phiddling) the folks auctioned off one can of blackeyed peas to help Glenn Mc- Carthy. The can sold for Sl.93. Chief expense of the MacArthur trip was a special airplane rented from Eastern Airlines. Taft forces don't seem one bit impoverished. They have retained Julius Klein, who fin- essed the rank of Brigadier General in the army and the presidency of the Jewish war veterans, into luc- rative public relations business. Klein, also retained by Pan Ameri- can Airways, has been headline hunting for Taft.
 Cuban Thanksgiving-Four days before our Thanksgiving, the people of Cuba, for the first time in their history, will celebrate their own Thanksgiving Day on November 18. While Cuba does not have over three hundred years of tradi- tion behind their celebration as do we, the basic idea of Thanksgiving Day should not be limited to any one country. For the Pilgrim Fathers established Thanksgiving Day to thank God for helping them sur viye a difficult year in a free world The Cuban people share our Democratic birthright, and it is an important step toward the uniyer- salty of Thanksgiving that they should wish to count their bless ings of free thought and free speech on a.. day set aside for this specific purpose. So this year they start a tradition that should live for ever with the freedom loving people of the Republic of Cuba.

Chicago Sun. Reactionary Cong ressmen didn't like Fields liberal newspaper, hit back with a tax amendment banning deductible loss es of more than $50,000 for five straight years. First man to get hit by this was not Field, Demo- crat. but the former Republican National Committeeman from Cal ifornia, movie mogul Louis B. Mayer. His racing stable was in the red by more than S50,000 and he got hit with big tax bill. Now it looks as if Louis B. Mayer has staged a comeback with a tax am- endment all his own. Latest tax bill permits capital gains tax for in come when a former employee sells his right to future profits to his former employer. This fits Mayer, now retiring from MGM, right down to the button. The tax bill even provides that the retiring employee must have worked for his company twenty years, with profit rights for 12 years, and be entitled to profit right for five years after retirement. Few people outside of Louis B. Mayer, fit this picture. .(Mayer's tax lawyer in the past has been as- ute Ellsworth Alvord, close friend of Senator George of Georgia, who largely writes the tax bill)
 Kansas Missouri Floods = The TrumaniteS have thrown up their hands once more regarding Missouri Valley Authority flood control in- tegrated with public power. .In- stead, Democratic leaders will en- deavor to get compromise through the next session of Congress, calling for a limited system of flood control dams and some power development in the Kansas River basin. This is a piecemeal plan recommended by army engineers who want to get the money out of Congress in driblets. The tragic losses caused by the MiSsouri-Kansas floods last sum- mer could have been used to pass an overall flood control-power plan for the Missouri Valley, but Secretary Of the Interior Oscar Chapman didn't have the courage to get out and lead
 Monty and Ike-Field Marshal Montgomery of Great Britain has sent message to General Eisen- hover urging him to continue as supreme allied commander. Mont gomery said he had heard Ike plan ned to quit in February, return to the United States and run for Pre- sident. Warning that western de- fense would fall apart when Els enhower left, Monty urged that he reconsider. Eisenhower hasn't ans wered the message yet but I predict he will say no man is indispensable :. Interesting thing about Mont gomery's message is that he was partly sidetracked by Eisenhower when the British army failed to keep up with General Bradley after the Normandy invasion. Later Eisen- hover gave Monty two of Bradley's armies during the battle of the bulge-a move bitterly resented by Bradley. (Perhaps Monty fears Bradley might replace Ike in Paris.

Better Social Security
Seattle Post-Intelliger)


 Canada has adopted an old age security program which almost every respect is superior to ours
 Under the American plan, federal old-age pen sions are financed by payroll taxes partly deducted from wages and salaries.
 Only employees who contribute to the fund may share in it's benefits.
 This is discriminatory as among workers
 The experimentation plan is impracticable in some fieldsand consequently many employed persons are excluded from participation.
 Moreover, the American plan is basically de- fectve
 It ignores the principle that, if old-age insurance is governmental obligation then it is due equally to all citizens and the costs should be borne by the government directly out of it's general revenues.
 Besides correcting social injustices, acceptance of the principle would eliminate major deficiency in our system which makes it virtually swinde.
 Our socal-security taxes are called a trust fund" but are actually spent by the Treasury cur rent income.
 The social security fund receives federal l. O. Us which must someday be redeemed by more taxes
 And obviously, the federal government cannot alter this condition by becoming an investor ln private industry, like insurance companies without soon owning all the industries and specializing the nation.
 The Canadian plan avoids these faults by simply adhering to the basic principle described
 With some minor safeguards it's benefits VIII be payable, beginning next year to every person reaching pension age without regard to previous employment unemployment
 The only qualification required is old age
 Canada meets the argument that some od folk are more needy than others
 For these, 'old-age assistance" remains available in addition to the pension and in the same amount but with means test" to prevent fraud
 Furthermore, the Canadian system does not ln- volve payroll taxes
 Costs are covered out of the existing sales tax with small increases in income taxes.
 Thus the Canadian program puts itself on sound annual yougo" basis at its very start
 If the purpose of social security is to aVolo poorhouses and permanent breadlines for the aged the Canadian plan is vastly preferable to ours-aho could easily be adopted in the United States.

Applies For Bus Line

A franchise to operate bus system in and around Kodiak will be given to Mrs. Tenora Rockney. owner of the Shop per, if it is approved by the. citizens of Kodiak at the Octo- Der 2 election.
 The franchise was okeyed by the city council at a special meeting Tuesday evening, but must be approved by 55% of the electorate before it can be granted.
 In her application for the franchise, Mrs. Rockney said that if it is granted, she will purchase a new, larger bus, with twice the seating capaci- ty of the present Shopper, will give better service to Mill Bay road, and will be able, with the addition of more buses, to serve the projected housing unit.
 The Shopper is currently op-. erating under a for-hire lic- ense. The requested franchise would not interfere with the Kodiak Transit bus line, Mrs. Rockney pointed out. Several years ago a request for a franchise was made by John Gibbons, but he with drew his application in favor of Mrs. Rockney.

Will Geer Won't Tell
Probers Whether He
Now IsaCo Communist

Will Geer. Broadway and Holly
wood character actor, today re-
fused to tell the House Committee
lon Un-American Activities wheth-
er he is now member of the
Communist Party.
The leathery-faced witness, who
approached the stand quipping,
which one is the hot seat" based
his refusal to answer on the
grounds of possible self lf-incrimin-
alton.
Committee Counsel Frank Tav-
enner. jr., interrupted his pre-
pared list of questions when the
witness prefaced his refusal to
reply with such phrases as that's
ancient history" and that's out
lof date"
well, I'll ask you this. then,' .
the counsel said, ARE you now a
member of the Communist Party?'
The witness refused to answer,
citing the Fifth Amendment.
Before Mr.. Geer was called to
the stand, attorneys for two other
Isubpoenaed witnesses, Actor j. Ed
ward Bromberg and Mark Law
renee, explained the non-appear-
aace of their clients.
Mr.. Bromberg's attorney said
the actor was suffering from a Sc
rious heart condition and asked
that the subpoena be vacated
The committee decided to hold the
subpoena in continuance for 80
days while it made it's own inquiry
into the state of Mr.. BromDerg S
health.
Mr.. Lawrence's attorney said
that the witness is suffering "a
mental and physical breakdown
and asked for a delay of a few
weeks. Again the committee said
lit would make its own investiga-
Ition.
