Reds Charge
 Another Allied Siie Violation

MUNSAN, Korea, Sept. 10-R- United Nations officers swapped sharp words with Reds in Kaesong today after Investigating a Con- munist charge that an Allied war plane strafed the cease-fire con- ference city this morning.
 The U. N. officers refused to give the Reds an on-the-spot re- port of their investigation. They also refused to concede that an attack had occurred or that U.N plane was involved.
 They acknowledged that dur ing a four hour checkup of the alleged neutrality zone violation they found one bullet mark and dozen 50 caliber slugs in and around group of stone houses. The houses were about three quarters of a mile from the site of the Suspended armistice talks.
 The Investigators said the bull lets appeared to have been firec from several directions and al different angles.
 This would conflict, they said with the Red assertion that tht plane made a pass over the house
 When the investigation was com pIeted, the senior Allied officer re. fused Communist demand fol a reply to the charge.

t,romyko loads 10 Wreck Treaty; Separate Red Peace May Be Planned

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1o-tR
 a~S, -ver1rl-a ;e gains ',0v~e from the San Francisco confer ence with Russia's worst postwar diplomatic defeat on his record and with ammunition in his poe ket for a new wrecking campaign against the Japanese peace treaty
 American diplomats, winding IF their affairs in the Conference city today, predicted Russia will do it's utmost to undermine popular support for the treaty with a mas- sive propaganda attack through out Asia and the Far East.
 Gromyk0, who left by train for New York yesterday, prepar- e9 the ammunition for that as sauIt in his speeches and actions at the peace conference.-the ably by his charges of American "dictation" and his repeated forecasts of a new war" in the Orient. He also made much Of Red China'S exclusion.
 Separate Block
 At some point, it is considered probable that Russia will put forth in collaboration with Red China plans for a separate Communist nloc peace treaty with Japan Presumably this would embody provisions which Gromyko advan- ced here in his vain efforts to get the British-American sponsored pact rewritten.
 Forty eight nations signed the peace treaty with Japan in 63- minute ceremony Saturday. Fol three tense days of debate Grom- yko had cried his warnings of war and had tried to get accept ance of amendments which would have rendered Japan defenseless when the treaty becomes effect i've.
 But when the document was put on the table for signing the Unl- ted States scored clean sweep. Not one nation was held back ny Gromyko's arguments.

Russ Pilofs Thought Flying Migs-Missiles Cause No Damage

U. s. EIGHTH ARMY HEAD. QUARTERS, Korea, Sept, 10--iR- Rockets Of the type used by tn Russians in World War II hay, landed behind Allied lines on tn east central front, it was official ly reported today
 There was speculation they might have been brought to Eo- req by Communist caucasian troops recently reported near the battlefront.
 No Allied installations were hit Official sources refused to disclos, the number of rockets that landed Tn the air war, 30 American FS6 sabre jets tangled with aI Russian-type MIG-15s over north west Korea in one of history biggest jet battles. Two Conlmun- ist planes were damaged.
 1t was the second jet battle in two days. Sunday the Allies shot down two MICS and dam aged another. There were no Allied losses in either scrap.
 Russ Flying?
 Army sources said unofficialll they have reliable but not con elusive evidence that Russian pilots have been flying some of thu MICS in battles against the Uni ted Nations.
 Since rockets, to be effective must blanket an area, it is pos sible those which landed on tht east central front were fired ac cidentally. They apparently wer, not aimed at any specific target Reports indicated only a smal number were fired.
 The Allies have used rockets in frequently in the Korean wal primarily to blanket an area whicl infantrymen are going to attack.
 Mondays jet air battle range from attitudes of 10000 feet dow to tree-top level.
 The Allied warplanes were lei into battle by Col. Francis Cab reski, Americas top ace.

By KAY J. KENNEDY

Territorial tax collections are up approximately 25 per cent over last year at this time, Alaska Tax Com missioner M. P. Mullaney revealed today.
 As of Sept. 1 gross collections amounted to s9,5O5,96268, he said Last year at this same time $7040,- 58516 had been collected.

 The cost of collecting S1 tax is only 1.9 cents, Mullaney said. The department has an average of 60 employees to mar the Juneau headquarters office and four field offices. Recently installed new bookkeeping machinery has greatly aided in facilitating the handling of records.
 Record show that the income tax is the greatest source of Terri torial revenue. As of Sept. l income tax collections exceeded the entire total for last year when $3,302, ,077.76 was garnered. The first eight months of this year has dumped $3,4l2, ,326.- 27 into the Alaska treasury.
 According to the U.. S. Internal Revenue Department at Tacoma, Alaska's income tax ratio increase is higher than any state in the union.
 Raw fish taxes (Chap. 82) are al- so ahead of the 1850 total with cur rent collections reaching the ST. 426, ,40851 mark. Last year the entire total was $l 399,913.05.
