DELINQUENT TAX
STORY IS DENIED

The article carried in the An
chorage newspaper and carried by
the Associated Press, stated that
the Anchorage office" had a stack
of delinquent tax notices covering
an estimated 100000 to 100000 in
: overdue taxes. This statement is
incorrect as the records of the De-
partment of Taxation, Juneau,
Alaska, from which the delinquent
notices from A to z were prepared
and sent to the Anchorage office
for collection, covered the Federal
employees having an address within
the Third Division, which includes
Anchorage, says M. P. Mullaney,
Tax Commissioner.
Our records reveal that the
maximum Alaska Tax that may be
due from the above delinquencies,
based on 10 percent of the Federal
Income Tax reported withheld on
earning over $3.50 during the year
1949. would amount to $38, 5T1 81 ana

W WASHINGTON - There is no
part of the world where the United
States has battled harder to pre-
vent Communism than in Germany
whose military minded people and
vast iron and steel resources can
turn war into. victory or defeat
for Atlantic Pact nations.
Yet the biggest propaganda boost
for Communism and against the
U.SA. ever given the German
people came from the man who
sets himself up as the great enemy
of Communism-Sena Mccarthy
of Wisconsin.
Supporting this grave statement
is evidence locked in the secret
files of the Senate Armed Services
Committee, evidence which sub
committee went all the way to
Germany to collect.
1t shows that Mccarthy allowed
himself to become the mouthpiece
of a German Communist agent
probably without realizing 1T. 1t
shows that Mccarthy charged the
u. s. Army with torturing Ger
man prisoners in order to extract
confessions. And finally it shows

A NORTHERN NOTEBOOK
Fifth of a Series)
BY BOB DE ARMOND

Fifth of Series)
If there have been a somewhat
disproportionate number of An
dersons, Jensens, Gundersens and
Johnsons in the Alaska Legislature
during the past 38 years, it is q
phenomenon as natural to this
country as northern lights or ptar-
migan turning white in the fall
Take, for example, the Johnsons,
of whom there have been four in
the Legislature, in addition to a
Johnston.
A careful assay would probably
show more Johnsons per ton of
population in Alaska than in any
place west of Minnesota.
1t is doubted, in fact, that Alaska
could have been explored. settled,
prospected, mined, logged, fished
and built to its present estate
without the Johnsons.
It was a Johnson. those Of you
who can remember back as tar as
your school, book days Will recall
who on June 20. 1867, proclaimed
one of the greatest real estate
deals in modern history-the pur-
chase of Alaska. That was Andrew
Johnson, 18th President Of the
United States.
Whether or not the Presidents
name had anything to do with it,
Alaska soon became the land OF the
Johnsons, as is amply evidenced by
The map of the country.
There are johnson Greeks almost
beyond counting and they are scat
tered from Dixon Entrance to the
Arctic Circle, or beyond. johnson
River is in the Tanana Valley and
johnson Mountain is near the
head of Portland Canal. Prince OF
Wales Island has a Port johnson
and Sannak Island Johnson Bay.

WAStlNGloN, Jan. 10 -- W
President Truman today sent Con-
gress a ST.. 594 10000 spending bud
get for the government next year
and said a tax boost of S16.456,-
100000 is needed to balance it.
The President told reporters at a
budget preview session that he will
ask a tax hike of at least that
amount--and perhaps as much as
$40 000, 900 000-in special message
to Congress he hopes to have ready
in about three weeks.
He said he would like Congress to
make all tax increases retroactive
to last January l. But he showed no
confidence that would really hap
pen.
For National Security
In his message to the new Con-
gress today, the President said:
This is a budget for our national
security in a period of grave dam
ger"
The unprecedented "peacetime'
spending program Mr. Truman pro-
posed for the fiscal year starting
July 1-nearly three-fifths of it for
military services - figures out to

some 100000 men. women and

On taxes, just about that same aver
age amount VIII be collected from
citizens although some OF it. Of
course. will be in the form of hid
den taxes or indirect costs.
Congress Has Say-So
The new Congress Will have full
say-so on whether taxes should be
raised and by what amount. But it
can block or control part of his
spending program, unless 1t repeats
past laws on a big scale
The President told newsmen that
actions by past Congresses authorize
$50 ,462 100000 of the funds to carry
out his plans. He needs to look to
the new Congress only for the re-
naming SAL 1872 100000
Controversial Document
Mr. Truman's bulky budget mes
sage was more controversial docu-
ment in some respects than his
state of the Union" address last
Monday.
He called in it for many of his pet
flair deal" measures such as the
civil rights program, federal medical
insurance and major part of the
Brannan farm plan. That seemed
certain to arouse ire in some Con-
gressional quarters.
Outcries Tor Economy"
Fierce outcries from economy
advocates also appeared so sure
that Mr.. Truman anticipated them
by laying down a defense of his
spending program in advance.
Observing to reporters that opin-
ions differ on what are defense
and mon defense outlays, he
dropped the heading Of defense

I've Been Thinking
Oy Cab Galloway

Have YOU ever been attracted by one OF
those radio, newspaper or magazine contests
.one OF those things that offers you a
new car every day, sixteen karat diamond
ring with puhlatinum down drift carbure-
tors, a twelve course lesson in how to do
the rhumba with Lena Horne as instruc-
tress, and a pound Of filet mignon without
4 mortgage?
I'll have to admit that l have. Why
some Of the prizes offered make my old
Riri friend, Minnie the Moocher, look like
q piker with her million dollars in nickles
and dimes and her diamond studded car
With platinum wheels.
A friend, knowing Of my weakness for
such things, has just sent me a gift SUBJ
scription to a publication called Prize l.
IDEAS" which tells us subscribers about
every contest going and giving timely sug-
gestions on how to 60 about winning.
Hand me my pen with the lifetime sup
ply Of ink and that stack of soap wrappers
and box tops, I'm going to get me some
loot.
And il you don't think there are peo-
pie who go at this thing seriously, let me
tell you that this publication is sent to a
lot OF people who wouldn't miss an issue.
They get together in contest clubs and
discuss ideas and trade tips. They
also trade wrappers and boxtops. You
know, you might want to enter
some contest several times and you need
more boxtops. Maybe a club member is
entering another contest and needs soap

Some Of these contest enthusiasts real
ly go to town. II they go week without
winning at least Ronson lighter or five
dollar prize for a recipe Ia friend of mine
confesses that she often makes up recipes
without even trying them!) they get way
down in the dumps.
Let me sci you straight, though, these
contest people don't work together. They
simply look upon contests as hobby and
they enter them all. There is nothing pro-
fessional or unfair in the way they work.
And very often it is the first entry
that wins a major contest.
I'll never forget the lovely little old
lady who won me and my band on stop
the Music" when my enterprising press "a
gent Dixon Gayer offered me as one of
the prizes on that show
Not only had the lady never entered
a contest before, she had hardly been out
of the house in years and there she was
in a tiny house. crowded to the rafters
with prizes. She won so much stuff that
her kids and grandchildren Clipped in the

they'd have room for their stuff.
