Another Test Of Alaska Property Tax Is Started

JUNEAU, (P)-Another test of AlaSka's property tax started in Federal court here Thursday.
 Attorneys for Luther Hess of Fairbanks argued his action against w. P. Mullaney, Territor- ial Tax Commissioner, for recov- cry of taxes paid under a law passed by the last Legislature.
 An earlier suit was dismissed by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on a technicality. Hess had obtained an injunction halting collection of the tax but the higher court ruled an injunction was not the proper remedy.
 The General Property tax law was enacted by the 1949 legisla- ture, and Senate Finance Commit tee estimated that it would raise about 212 million per biennium. The challenge of it's leality has booked 1t as a revenue producer almost from the start. It was enacted as part of the "basic tax program" advocated by Governor Gruening.
 It provides for a one per cent tax on all property, real and per sOnal, in the territory.
 A main point of challenge has been a provision that collections in cities would revert to the cities in lieu of the municipal property tax. That was included in the law to prevent residents having to pay the territorial property tax on top of local one.
 Attempts were made in the 1851 legislature to repeal the tax law. Such a bill passed the House but didn't come before the Senate because the session was so near it's end. Opposition was mainly from mining district legislators the Second and Fourth Divisions.

Alger Hiss Asks Retrail Based On New Evidence

NEW YORK, (P)-Alger Hiss has asked for a retrial based on what he says is new evidence that he can prove he told the truth when he says he did not give American secrets to a pre- war Russian spy ring.
 The one-time top State Depart ment aide appealed Thursday for a third trial. The jury in his first trial was dismissed when it could n't agree. The second trial re- suited in a five-year sentence.
 Hiss said he had new facts to back up his defense that he was convicted partly by typewriter forgery.
 At both trials the government contended Hiss used a battered old Woodstock typewriter to copy State Department documents and give copies to Whitaker Cham bers, Self-Styled courier for the spy ring. It was generally &C., cepted there at the trials that each typewriter h ad unmiStakable traits of its own.
 But Hiss motion said an engi- neer had built him a special type writer that would type just like the old one.
 He said this indicated that Chambers, his principal accuser, could somehow have forged the documents.

Alaska RR Losing Money Due to High Tariff Freight Going by Plane or Truck

SEATTLE, (P) - Col. J. P. Johnson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, says the line is losing money because interior merchants are using other means of transportation.
 Johnson said in an interview firms are shipping high tariff freight by truck or airplane, leav- ing the railroad only low-revenue items.
 "For the past five years, the railroad has spent considerable money to provide the railbelt cities with fast service and mod ern rolling stock" Johnson said. "It has spent $75,000,000 on re- mobilization. Yet the railroad is losing money because we are not getting the cooperation needed to operate in the black"
 With faster rail service to the interior, he said, 'There is ab- solutely no need for shortage of perishables anywhere in Alaska, whether or not the highways and air lanes are open"

Allies Suggest Airfield Question Be Set Aside
 By ROBERT B. TUCKMAN

MUNSAN, Korea, (P) Allied truce negotiators suggested Fri day that the thorny question of airfield construction be set aside temporarily and staff officers start work immediately on other details of policing a Korean ar miStice.
 Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang promised to study the proposal and reply later He did not say when.
 "Basically, this is another effort of the U. N. Command to achieve a realistic armistice as rapidly as possible" said Brig. Gen. Will liam P. Nuchols, Allied spokes- man.
 The issue of whether the com- munists have the right to build and repair military airfields in North Korea during an armistice has deadlocked truce supervision negotiations since Jan. g.
 Rear Adm. RE. Libby emerged from a stormy two hours and 40 minute session of the prisoner ex- change subcommittee to tell news men: eve caught he'll"
 There was no progress, but the Allied spokesman said tat least the communists began today to talk about specifics rather than broad generalities."

US. Sabre Jets Shoot Down 10 Red MIG-15s

SEOUL, Korea, (P) - Daring American Sabre jet pilots shot down at least 10 Red jets in four flaming air battles over north west Korea Friday.
 Two communist MIG-15s ex- ploded almost in the faces of Am erican pilots. The blast blew out the jet power in two Sabres, and the Americans had to go into long dives before their jets famed into action again.
 It was one of the biggest jet victories of the war.
 The biggest toll in an all-jet battle was Dec. 13 when 13 Red jets were reported destroyed, two probably and three damaged.
 American loss, if any, in Fri days four battles were not an- nounced.
 The air war grew in fury as the day wore on while the ground war lay relatively quiet under a blanket of fresh snow

SYDNEY, Australia, (P)-More than a dozen people collapsed in Sydney Friday as the city's tenn pertature scared 23.7 degrees in five hours to a ten-hour record high of 105.1 early in the after noon.

 In Victoria, which also has been sweltering in a more than week-old heat wave, the Mel bourne temperature reached no degrees.

Alben Barkey is also being thrown into he battle The question is Do the Democrats have the stuff to pull even with Ike this late in the game?
 The Republicans don't think so.

Stevenson Accuses Ike of
 Riding 2 Political Horses
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss,

Stevenson campaigned Thurs day by auto in the San Francisco area. He was reportedly flushed with enthusiasm after his recep- tion there Wednesday night.
 The thoroughly partisan audi ence at the Cow Palace cheered lustily as he accused Eisenhower of attempting to ride two political horses in California, and sarcas- tically referred to Sen. Nixon's campaign fund disclosures.
 Stevenson's audience was esti- mated at 23,0OO persons, com pared with 21, 1000 which greeted Eisenhower in the same hall last week.
 He echoed the COP time for a change" slogan, but his version was: "It is time for a change = time for the independents and understanding Republicans :, to recognize the real nature of the generals candidacy"

Communist Party Retains Joseph Stalin in Top Jobs

MOSCOW, P) M The Soviet Communist party named it's new high command today and kept Joseph Stalin firmly in all the top jobs.
 The party's new central com mitee announced election of presidium of 25 members and II alternates to replace the old Polit- buro and a l0-man secretariat to supervise party administration. Stalin was named head Of both key groups.
 The presidium is more than twice the size of the old Politburo of II members and one alternate. The secretariat also was enlarged. 1t formerly had only five mem bers. Although both were greatly increased, there was no doubt that Stalin remains the supreme au- thority in the Communist party as well as in the Soviet government.
 His top rank in the party was emphasized by the placing of his name out of alphabetical order at the head of the announced listing of both the presidium and secretariat. All other names were given in their Russian alphabeti- cal order
 One significant point was the promotion of presidium alternate of foreign minister Andrei Vish- insky. Vishinsky, now at the United Nations Assembly in New York formerly was a member of the central committee, to which he was reelected, but he never was a member of the politburo.

When Jones first had noticed them

brusquely:

Old Jones Immediately took a
strong dislike to him, and decided
he liked the other, taller young
man, who stood in silence, half
smiling. Jones lifted the two OBJ

them out, one in each palm.
The first was incredibly ugly,
with face contorted in mad rage.
The second was Of a girl incredibly
