PRES. SIGNS
 20 BILLION
 DOLLAR BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6--tR-Pre- sident Truman today signed $19,- 84l ,412,938 emergency apprppria- tion bill, boosting to approximately $ll8,0OO 100000 the total appropri- ations of the 81st Congress.
 Most of the money in the emer- gency measure is for defense needs arising out of the invasion of Korea by Chinese Communists. Of the total, 7,0OO,OO0,ooo was earmarked for the Army, Navy ard Air Force, boosting to around $45,000. .000. .000 the military appropriations for the fiscal year ending next June 30.
 Also included is contract authori- zation up to $224,O00.O00 for the maritime administration to build 34 more high-speed cargo vessels. The administration previously was authorized to build 16 of these 20- knot ships.

30 BILLION ; BUDGET E
 SUGGESTED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 = R = Senators Douglas D-IlD and Humphrey D-Minn) called today for an $800O0, 100000 federal budget to help block Communist aggres- sion. They proposed stiff new tax increase to avert any borrowing.
 Both lawmakers termed made quate and unrealistic a suggestion by Senator Taft (R-Ohio) that it might be possible to hold the bud get for the fiscal year starting July 1 to within $65,O00, 0,000.0OO.
 Taft, chairman of the Senate Re- publican Policy Committee, men, tioned that figure yesterday in a Senate speech in which he attacked administration plans for defense of Western Europe.
 He said that in his opinion it would be possible to raise tax rev. enue to meet, ultimately, the bud get he suggested.
 Douglas and Humphrey said in separate interviews that Taft trained his sights about $15,000,- 100000 too low to provide the kind of military protection they feel the country should have.
 The budget President Truman submits to Congress about the mid- dle of this month reportedly will call for around $75,0O0, ,0O0,O 900. He already has said higher taxes will be needed to pay for the contem- plated program.
 Under the current tax program, revenue will run about $45,000,- 100000, government officials esti- mate. That compares with the pre- vious record collection of $43,900,- 100000 in 1945.
 The proposal of Douglas and Humphrey to put an $80, 900. .000, 900 budget on a pay-as-you-go basis would call therefore for almost doubling tax revenue.
 Both Senators said they are con- vinced that sufficient taxes can be raised to avoid deficit financing under an $8o,OOo. 100000 budget.

ALASKA MAY GET CONTROL
 OF FISHERIES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 = R - A House subcommittee has recom- mended that Congress give serious consideration to placing control of Alaskan fisheries in the territorial government if it does not grant statehood to Alaska this year.
 The subcommittee of the House Fisheries and Merchant Marine Committee held hearings in Alaska on the fisheries problems in the fall of 1949. Its report to the old 81st Congress, was made public to- day.
 All the subcommittee members, Reps. Wickersham D-Okla), chair man, John Allen Jr.. CR-Calif), Tol- lefson (R-Wash) and Delegate Bartlett of Alaska, are also in the 82nd Congress now sitting. The Alaska statehood bill ex- pected to be introduced next week would turn over control of the fisheries to the territory.
 The subcommittee reported that Alaska is the only territory which does not have control of its own fisheries.
 Alaskans have sought to eliminate fish traps in the territory and Delegate Bartlett has introduced legislation which would do this over a ten-year period.
 Your committee recommends that the next Congress (the 82nd, as the report was prepared two weeks ago) should give careful study to the question of vesting control of the fisheries of Alaska in the territorial government in event statehood is not achieved the committee said.
 Recent developments of all kinds in the territory, including the estab- lishment of the Territorial Fish cries Department and tEc Alaska Fisheries Board, seem strongly to justify a ce-eful rcview of the ter ritoria coctrni of the fisheries"
