TAXES AND EISENHOWER

minded Of the steepness Of taxes recently when Con-
gress refused to make his $50000expense allowance
tax-free. Though former President Truman had re-
ceived his expense allowance taxfree and though
he recommended to Congress that the same exemption
be granted to Eisenhower, Congress refused to make
Ike's expense account tax-free.
President Esenhower's $4,000 expense account
is thus reduced from 5000 to 81 000 since about
$50 900 of will be paid to the Federal government
in taxes 1t seems fairly obvious that $4,000 tax,
out of $4,000 sum is excessive. With American boys
diving in Korea such tax rate temporarily be
justified However in ordinary times, there is JUST
fcation for such rate and the danger in establishing
such rates is that removing them always proves
difficult than establishing them.

FAIR TAXATION FOR ALAsKANs
Fairbanks News-Miner)


We have heard good deal about tax incentive
legislation but Byron Gillian, Of the Fairbanks Cham
Der Of Commerce. introduced note when, at the
AlAlaska meeting at Juneau last month"; he called for
fair taxation for all Alaskans
He alertly pointed out that Alaskans were paying
extra penalty tax-wse, because Of the graduated
tax that applies here where costs are compounded
thereby putting Alaskans in the higher dollar volume
brackets
He cited higher costs in living and construction
and stated that Alaskan had to make two three
times than stateside resident in order to build
home commercial building. Because Of the differ
entail in living costs many workers take their earnings
and migrate to lower cost Of living for the win
ter instead of remaining in Alaska This does not tend
to build toward permanent population.
We agree that Alaskans are not asking for special
concessions only those that will give an even
break in order to compete with other and present
opportunity to develop the territory
Puerto Ricans pay no federal income tax. Special
tax privileges have been given to residents of the
Virgin islands and Guam The Old industry is allowed
a Is per cent forgiveness for depletion.
Why not FAIR taxation for Alaskans?

EisenhOwer'S Failure To
Endorse Alaska Statehood
Is Labeled Partisan Move

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska
Delegate Bartlett views the fail
ure of President Eisenhower to
endorse statehood for Alaska in
his state of the union message
Monday, while approving it for
Hawaii, as a partisan political
move.
Naturally I am previously dis
appointed" Bartlett told a re-
porter. "That disappointment will
be shared by all Alaskans, Repub-
licans and Democrats alike, who
are for statehood.
"For the first time in all the
years Hawaii and Alaska have
worked together, it has been made
partisan issue"
Sen. Magnugson D-Wash), said
hes was disappointed the President
singled out Hawaii for statehood,
but not Alaska.
He added that he thought the
speech was ga good appraisal of
our natural resources and how
they must be handled, which
showed the President has changed
his ideas somewhat since the cam
paign speech on resources he
made in Boise"
The Presidents speech spanked
a new drive in Congress on the
Hawaii Statehood Bill.
Senator Gordon R-Ore) told a
reporter the Hawaii Statehood
Bill will be Item No. - on the
agenda of the Territories sub
committee of the Senate Interior
Affairs Committee.

Old Leipzig Fair Masks Scars
Of June Revolt Against Reds

was publicly burned.
Revive Old Anthem.
At the shrine commemorating
the rout of Napoleon in 1913
speakers harangued the crowd.
Up came the mighty roar of I'VE
want freedom!" The crowd took
up the refrain of Deutschland
Ueber Allies" the old national
anthem.
Cheered by thousands, the
marchers headed for midtown,
overturning police cars and rout-
ing the occupants.
But by now the Russians had
moved in. Nine truckloads of
Soviet infantry cruised about the
crowd, soldiers firing in the air.
Tanks, their ugly guns revolving,
numbered forward. Several per-
sons who would not give way
were reported crushed to death.
Emboldened by the Soviet
troops. German police attacked.
They fired not in the air, but
into the crowd. For the Leip-
zigers that was the bitterest
thing of all.
The arrests began that night.
Possibly $50 Leipzigers were put
behand bars. Reports received
in the West said at least three
Leipzig men fell before Soviet
firing squads.
Resentment Still Prevalent.
Now it seems calm, but the ar
rests are still going on, and, be-
meath the festive air of the trade
fair, the city seethes with re-
sentiment.
Despite the presence of foreign
visitors, East German army
squads openly display machine
pistols and police patrol only in
pairs. The Soviet troops are not
much in evidence, but Leipzigers
say several battalions are in the
area, ready to move again If
necessary.
Shabby, tired Leipzigers, once
proud of the tradition of their
fair, watch the ancient festival
being transformed into a propa-
ganda stunt by the Communists
The food in the restaurants is
for visitors only. The shoes and
clothes on display are only bait
for foreign currency.
Above all, for Leipzigers, it is
life of fear. Red police, smart
ing from the humiliation of June
II, are constantly on the prowl.
The slightest i-Communist re-
mark will bring the dread mid
night knock of the secret police.

Army Private Loses His Fight
For Commission or Discharge
U. S. District Court
At Alexandria Rules
Against Dentist
By the Associated Press

Pvt. Herbert L. Nelson went
back to his basic training at
Camp Pickett, Va, today after
failing to win an Alexandria
court order that he be discharged
or given a captains commission
in the Dental Corps.
After listening to day-long
arguments, U. S. District Court
Judge Albert v. Bryan ruled that

which Pvt. Nelson was inducted
May % doees not prevent the
Army from keeping him in serv-
ice as an enlisted man.
Pvt. Nelson, a 6-foot 200
pourder who practiced dentistry
at Marysville, Wash, for more
than six years before his induc-
ton, was denied a commission
because he is an admitted former
Communist.
Through his attorney, David
Rein of Washington, Pvt. Nelson
contended a 1853 amendment to
the doctors draft law made ii
mandatory that the Army give
him commission or discharge
1t. Col. Howard o. Husband
of the Judge Advocate Generals
Corps said Pvt. Nelson was in
eligible for a commission because

Judge Bryan agreed with Col
Husband. He said the doctors

change the rule laid down by
the Supreme Court in the case
of a doctor who was inducted
under it and was denied a COM
mission. The high court held

Youth Organizations
Of West Germany
To Help Guard Polls
BY the Asseeiotsd Press

Four million Of West Germany's
youth girded today to battle
Communist invaders threatening
to upset their nations crucial
parliamentary elections Sunday.
Police had nabbed over 1000
sabotage-bent toughS from the
Soviet east zone, but the influx
continued unabated.
A spokesman for the Bonn
government announced last
night that two big youth or
ganizations have volunteered to
help combat what he said was
a Kremlin plot to sabotage the
balloting by creating chaos. The
two volunteer groups are the
Federal Youth League (Bundes-
jugendring) and the German
Sport Association (DeutSche
Sport Und).
The government has turned
up proof, the spokesman said,
that the troublemakers have
been ordered across the border
in droves to raid voting booths,
steal ballot boxes and beat up
election officials. Captured
agents have even confessed as
sassination plans, officials
claimed.
Red Agents Evade Police.
Despite tight frontier checks.
mass arrests and an emergency
police alert throughout West
Germany, thousands of the Red
agents were believed to have
evaded the police blocks.
The chief tarket of the Com
munists. from Moscow down
through the ranks, is the Chris
tian Democrat Regime of Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer and it's
policy of cooperating with the
West to build up military de-
lenses against possible Com
munist aggression.
Vigorous political campaigning
by 4,040 candidates for 484 seats
in the lower house of parliament
was carried on without disorders
yesterday.
In the Bavarian border town of

and several fist fights broke out
before the club-swinging police
moved in.
Hundreds Seized in Trains.
The number of agents that
may have slipped across the 800
mile frontier in unguarded areas
could not be determined. But it
was known that thousands had
boldly tried to ride into West
Germany by train. using forged
travel permits. About 1000 were
arrested on a single train at the
border city of Helmstedt last
night, 400 more on a train out
of Berlin and $50 on train in
Bebra.
The hastily modified squads
of volunteers from the youth and
athletic organizations will back
up the police in guarding polling
places Sunday. Standing by, also,
will be the manpower of anti
Communist political parties. The
parties have volunteered to help
out if it appears that the police
and civilian helpers are being
engulfed.
West Germany's two leading
political opponents Mr.. Ade-
nauer and his socialist rival,
Erich Ollenhauer-centered their
campaigning today in Boon and
the densely populated key Ruhr
industrial area.
Mr.. Adenauer was to address
a big rally of his Christian Dem
ocrats in the West German cap
