FED. CREDIcT UNION
 PLAN iS PRE5ENTED
 10 MEMBERS OF NFFE

The obiectives and benefits of the Federal Credit Union for fed eral employees in Juneau were pre- sented to members of the National Federation of Federal Employees at their regular monthly luncheon meeting in the Baranof Hotel Gold Room by Don Miller, president of the organization. Miller is the Chief of the Administrative Division, Alaska Road Commission.
 The main objective of the Credit Union is to offer temporary as- sistance available on short term leans through a self help program, Miller said. Membership in the union is open to all federal en- ployees.
 The Juneau Union. Miller said, started out in a small way in 1949, and at the close of the year had 67 members with a total number of 389 shares. At the end of the 1850 year the membership had grown to 80. Total number of full shares were 919 and a four percent dividend was paid on shares held.
 There has been a remarkable fine security in repayment of loans, Miller declared. Of 38 loans made since the Credit Union was estab- lished here only one has been slow in repayment, and it is not yet con- sidered loss.
 President Petrich announced a number o1 applications have been received for membership in the Blue Cross Group Plan of the Washington State Service. The NFFE group must Lave a member ship of 125 to be admitted in the group plan. It was pointed out that St. Ann's Hospital participates in the Blue Cross group plan.
 Petrich also told attending mem- bers that National President Ste wart of the organization is opti- mistic for the outcome of iegislat.on before Congress to provide Q raise in pay rates of federal employees to meet the rise in costs ot living
 The Federation will hold it's next monthly meeting April II in the Gold Room at the Rai 4of.

 COSTELLO

NEW YORK, March IA - R - Threatened with perjury if he didn't answer, Gambler Frank Costello to- day told Senate crime probers he has about $40.00O to $50,000 in his strongbox at home.
 Sen. Herbert R. O'Conor (D-Md, , who issued the ultimatum, told the reputed underworld leader to "be extremely carefup in answering the question.
 When Costello hesitated. Sen. Charles Tobey (R-NH) interrupted to suggest that a policeman be sent to Costello's home ito open that box"
 We've played ducks and drakes long enough with this,'' Tobey snapped. Costello said he also has about $90,000 to $100,000 in two bank &C., counts, but that he isn't sure. T haven't had a chance to look," he said.
 After the three-hour morning session, Costello, his voice croaky with laryngitis, was excused to re- turn for third round of question ing tomorrow.
 Committee Counsel Rudolph Hal ley listed these subjects as still to oe covered with the ex-bootlegger md gambler:
 l. A summary of his legitimate md illegitimate businesses.
 2. A summary of his net assets.
 3. His criminal friends and asso- ciates.
 4. The entire subject of his po- Iitical activities.
 Costello, whom witnesses have pictured as behind-the-scenes po- litical dictator in New York City, baked at telling his net wealth. For that he drew a threat of contempt citation.

Affairs Committee in l947, making certain recommendations regarding Alaska but not recommending the election of the governor. The com mittee was at that time headed by Senator Butler
 Senators Not Wanted
 "The reason Alaska is not gettn9 statehood" explained Rep. Kay, "is that a bloc of U. s. Senators do not want to see two more senators from Alaska. But they do not mind whe- ther we have control of our lands and fisheries CT apout our Organic Act. We will be selling the people of Alaska short if we don't demand everything we can get"
 Rep. Stepovich read memorials passed by the 1943 and l945 sessions of the Legislature and asking the privilege of electing the governor. Neither of these memorials, he pointed out, referred to any other matters, and at least one of them was introduced by Rep McCut- cheon
 After listening to the debate, l am. very much opposed to the amendment" said Rep Franklin. If we get all of these other things we will never get statehood, while an elective governor is one step along the way toward statehood.
 "Senator Butler is not alone Tn opposing statehood" Rep. Johnson pointed out. "The Democrats have a majority in both houses of Con- gress now; the Republicans con trolled both houses a few years ago, but both have so far failed to grant us statehood
 Johnson also warned against ask? ing for more than an elective gov ernor at this time because asking too much would endanger statehood
 Following the defeat of Kay'S amendment and in the interests ol processing other legislation, the memorial was held over to become the first order O. business next Monday

the general appropriations bill passed by the House is slightly above that figure, there are other appro- priations measures and we still have about $3,OOO,O00 of 1949 ap- propriations frozen"
 Erroneous Figures
 Sen. Walter Huntley suggested there are some erroneous. figures flying around" ana ne and knge- breth said the tax commissioner foresees total revenue of around $25, ,0O0.O for the biennium
 Engebreth said that included car marked funds. Butrovich said ear marked funds were $4,000,000 last biennium. That means they are not available to cover legislative appro- priations.
 If revenue should total $25 100000 and $4,OO0,O0O to s5,OO00O0 of it should be in such earmarked funds as the tobacco and motor fuel taxes, it would leave a general fund in take of S20,OO0,O00 to 100000.
 The department of taxation esti- mates in the board of budget report were for total tax collections o1 $22, ,043 ,0O0 for the next biennium, with $4,012,000 of them earmarked and $18,O31 900 likely for the gen. eral fund. However, the estimates included $9OO00O from the property tax and $375,00O from nonresident fishermen's licenses, both of which are involved in court litigation. The property tax was held invalid in district court and the non-resl- dent license was upheld.

Democracy Means Free Choice

ncHE are some interesting
. parallels between the United
States, or Canada. today. and Is.
rael of more than three millenniums
ago.
1t was . little nation, so new it
could scarcely be called nation,
90 small It could be lost in one of
our big cities. But when It was
beginning its time in Palestine, it
was much nearer true democracy
than 1t was in the more famous
and glamorous times OF David and
Solomon.
There was at first no heredi-
tary monarchy. the people had
no precedents 10 % by. they
had 10 pick their way through
an uncertain world, much as
we do only on q smaller scale.
In Joshuas time there had been
Q military government. first Moses
and then Joshua had done most OF
the thinking for the people. But
when he grew old. Joshua knew
that In the future the people would
have to think for themselves. When
The people do think. II Is democ-
racy; when they think only what
they are told to think, II is a police
state. Now Joshua knew that the
main choice before the people was
basically religious. As he put 1t.
