u. ). 10 Insist Russia,
Other Countries Pay
More OF u. N. Costs
By Ernie Hill
Foreign Correspondent of The star and
the Chicago Daily News

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Aug
8.-The United States is going to
insist that a number of countries
particularly Russia, bear a larger
share of the costs of supporting
the United Nations.
A budget committee now at work
revising U. N. contribution sched-
ules is being urged to increase
many Of those paying extremely
small amounts and cut down the
United States ALLEGATION.
For 1851, the United States is
paying 1892 per cent of the U. N.
budget against 11.37 for Britain,
6.98 for Russia, 6 for China and
France and as little as .04 per
cent for Costa Rica, Haiti, Hon.
duraS, Iceland, Liberia, Nicaragua,
Paraguay and Yemen.
The budget donations are sup
posed to be based on each coun-
try's annual productive wealth.
Russia pays less than one-fifth of
that paid by Washington.
Budget revisions will be made at
the Paris General Assembly meet
ing in November.
The American effort to reduce
its load is due partially to congress
sional complaints. Representative
Williams of Mississippi has sue
ceeded in getting an amendment
to the State Department approp-
riations bill limiting the amount
of United States contributions to
one-third of the total budget in
all international organizations.
The United States now pays 35
per cent of the costs for the World
Health Organization, 35 per cent
for the U. N. Educational, Scien-
tif1c and Cultural Organization
and more than so per cent for the
U. N. technical assistance program
for underdeveloped countries.
The American delegation is TAX
ing the position that costs must
be shared more equitably as a
matter of principle.
The q. N. budget is only SAT
million a year. That is a drop
in the bucket compared with
President Truman's proposed $s.5
billion foreign aid recommended
ton.

II think that Britain is the best

cerely, as someone passed him
another heap of soup plates. But
would it not be possible to find
a more suitable occupation?"
The colonel has known nothing
but soldering all his life. They
only teach them how to fight in
the Polish regular army. No one
will deny that he has done that
job well.
Now he is plain JoSeph-"the
finest dishwasher in the country"

among them Sir Archibald Sim

A Fair Request
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

On their own face, the sensational charges made last February by the so-caled Alaskan Task Force of the Armed Services Committee of the united States Senate were worthy of serious credence
 In the first place, the members of the task force" Sens. Lester c. Hunt Leveret Saltonstall and Wayne Morris-spent only week on their entire study"
 And secondly they themselves admitted they had been unable to authenticate reports they had re- ceived that Seattle business concerns were unfairly and even illegally exploiting Alaska.
 Noneheless they passed these unsubstantiaed stores along and made them part of official Senate docu- ment.
 Now the falsity of these reports has been oem- onstrated by the Alaska Division of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce-which devoted as many weeks to the subject as the task force" did days
 Under the circumstances, the Chamber IS amply Justified in memoriazing the Armed Servlces com nittee to expunge the false allegations rom the record
 As the Alaska Division pointed out in it's report, it is important to the good name of Seattle ana ol the whoesaling and manufacturing industries ln thls city that proper steps be taken to secure the WI- drawal of those parts of report which are eotaAy out of line with the facts of the business relations between Seattle and Alaska"

 KODIAK 10 PLAN NEW SCHOOL BLDG

The Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington has approv- ed an advance of $24600 to the Kodiak Independent School Dist rict to allow planning to start inn mediately for a grade school to re- lieve the present overcrowded con ditions in the Kodiak Schools. It is expected that the new structure will have eleven classrooms and the plans will include future gymna- um-auditorium, it was announced by the Alaska Public Works office here today.
 The estimated cost of the project is $800,000. The school district has applied for construction of the first unit of construction under the AL aska Public Works Program.
 The growth of the Kodiak Naval Base, along with the normal growth of the community, has caused the school enrolment to increase from 280 in 1846-47 to 355 in March of this year. The normal capacity of the Kodiak School building is ITS. The construction of large housing development in Kodiak in the near future is expected to throw an ad- ditional burden on the present fa- cilities.

DOCTOR HEADED FOR PETERSBURG
 WITH KIT, RIFLES

SEATTLE, June Is, = R = A Wisconsin doctor is on his way to Petersburg, Alaska, with his medl- cal kit and a firearms collection
 which he values at $75,000. He hopes the hunting will be
 good-and the medical practice not
 so good that he can't fully enjoy the hunting.
 Dr. Russell Smith and his wife are heading by ship for a new life after his 18-year practice ir Bar row, Wis.
 "Ill be the only doctor" he eX- plained. We've bought a new build ling. with space for offices on the first floor and large apartment upstairs"
 The ardent hunter said he had a private rifle range in his Wlscon- sin home on which to try out his 278 rifles.
 The Smiths have been north be- fore. The doctors rifles have not
 ches for black, brown and polar bears.
 It was correspondence with Ho-
 sea R. Sarber, a Wildlife Service
 agent, that gave Dr. Smith the idea of moving to Petersburg.
 Maybe it seems crazy to pull up stakes and head north" the soft spoken physician commented. But we have no children, Petersburg
 needs doctor and it's the greatest
 hunting country in the world. We'll make out fine"

Ex-Governor of Georgia

Georgia's ex-Gov. M. E. Thomp- son is now making lot Of money out of his dramatic exit from the office of Price Stabilization when he claimed he was given nothing to do and didn't believe in drawing his pay for pure idleness.
 Since then Thompson has spent most of his time lecturing and writ ing about how he quit the govern ment, and is even publishing a monthly newspaper in Metter, Ga.- the Georgia Democrat" is devoted largely to attacking the price con- trol office.
 However, the ex-GoVernor doesn't tell his readers and his lecture au- diences the full story.
 He has never mentioned, for in stance, that he signed false claim in order to draw the OPS salary which he said he didn't earn. He was on the OPS payroll for 12 weeks, during which time he stated publicly that he didn't do lick of work. What he didn't tell the public, however, is that he put in voucher, claiming his full pay of S5348 per day, plus expenses, total ing $2,88792 for only 12 weeks work
 In order to collect this pay, Thompson signed the following statement. T certify that the above account is just and true in all re- spects. My statement of services performed, correctly sets forth my services on official business"
 Yet, when Thompson resigned in a huff, he announced that he had heen given mo assignments to do anything" In other words, when he signed a claim for s2,887.92 pay for services performed" he did not tell the truth.
 Thompson also hasn't told his lecture audiences how he used to annoy price boss Mike Di Salle by telephoning him at and o'clock in the morning. When people get addicted to telephoning other peo- pie after am. in Washington it's generally considered that the tele- phoner has had too much to drink though, of course, habits may be different in Metter, Go.

Biggest Companies Involved

In the Arabian American Oil Company scandal, some of the big est oil companies in the country gre involved originally Texas and Standard of California, with Stand ard of New Jersey and Sunoco buy ing 40 per cent interest in Aramco later.
 In 1948 the Senate Investigating committee found that Arabian American oil had overcharged the Navy millions of dollars by charg- ing it $1O5 a barrel for oil, after originally promising President Roosevelt to sell oil for 40 cents a arrel. It was on the basis Of this cheap oil pledge to FDR that he gave $99,000,O00 of lend lease to Caudi Arabia in l94l.
 ITO induce the grant of aid to the Saudi Arabian government" says the Senate report which has been gathering dust with the Justice De- Dartment, the Arabian American oil company offered to sell to the United States under proposal to the President dated April Is, 194l, at prices based on fuel oil at 40 cents per barrel.
 When the United States needed oil because of its war demands, not withstanding these prior proposals, the companies offered the Navy fuel cil at $105 barrel on a take-it-or- leaye-it basis. The Navy was forced to buy the oil on these terms.
 'sThe oil companies were under moral if not a legal obligation to disclose to the Naval Procurement officers their previous proposals for the sale of oil submitted to the President continues the Senate report.
 The oil companies exploited the government by exacting high prices for their products despite the as- sistance granted to Saudi Arabia at the companies beheSt to protect and preserve the companies con- sessions"
 The Senate committee goes on to tell how the oil companies claimed they had doubled their royalties to the Arabian government, and ob- serves: The U. s. government clearly was defrauded because the royalty payments were not doubled '
 It has been nearly three years since the Senate committee made this categoric charge of fraud Nevertheless, the Justice Depart nlent has. made no move, and the statute of limitations will expire in a few more days.
