 TO-DAY IN INTANGIBLE

The 1853 Red Cross Fund Cam paign starts today in Wrangeu. ac- eording to F. R. Sharnbroich. local Red Cross chairman. and will continue through the month of March The month of March has been set aside as Red Cross month by executive order of President D. D. Eisenhower. Sharnbroich point ed out that Wrangell has never yet failed to meet it's quota in any Red Cross drive and that this year is expected to be no exception.
 The work of the Red Cross is well known to all of you said Mr. Sharnbroich. but perhaps you are not aware how the Red Cross con tinues its vital services to the arm ed forces, veterans and their famil- ies through a world wide network of communications and help at mil itary installations, with field units. at home through the local chapters and in service and veterans hos pitals The Red Cross collects blood to meet the ugent needs of the wounded and the many military emergencies in all combat and hos pital areas.
 Tn addition, the Red Cross has been asked to enlarge its activities in the present year in two import ant areas: First, to provide addi- tiOnal recreational facilities for our troops overseas, and, second, to ex- pand greatly the National Blood program to obtain plasma for mak- ing a serum to protect children a. gainst the paralyzing effects of polio. The result is an inevitable enlargement of the Red Cross bud get, and higher quotas for it's 1853 campaign"
 He recalled that the Red Cross came to the aid of our town when the disastrous fire struck last March. A disaster representative was flown from Seattle to aid in emergency relief and rehabilitation and over $3,OOO was given in Wrangell in these measures alone.
 ANSWER THE CALL - Send in your subscription to the 1858 Red Cross Fund, Sharnbroich urged.

SELF-EMPLOYED MUST FILE TAX RETURN

JUNEAU - James G. Browne. manager of the Social Security Ad- ministration field office in Juneau, reminds self-employed persons that they may be required to file a self-emplOyment tax return. This return may be necessary even though they have not had enough income in 1852 to file a personal income tax return.
 Any self-employed person, who is not a member of one of the ex- cepted professions, is required tC file a self-employment tax return If he has had net income from his trade or business of $400 or more in 1852. The self-employment tax return must be filed with the Bur eau of Internal Revenue by March 15, 1853.
 Browne stated that self-employ- ment income report is credited to the social security record of the person reporting. The total of self employment and wages in the in- dividuals record determine the a. mount of benefits payable to him when he is eligible for payments. Any person who does not have a so- cial security number card can ob- tain an application from his post office or by writing to the Social Security Field Office in Juneau.

MALENK0V TO STEP INTO sTALIN'S SHOES

LONDON - Moscow radio anuounc- ed that Georgi NJ. Melenkov has been appointed chairman (prime minis ter) of the council of ministers of the Soviet Union. This is the post that Stalin had at the time of his death.
 Moscow radio ALTO announced that Marshal Kleemnti Voroshilov had been appointed chairman of the Soviet presidium in place of NikOlai Shyernik. This is equivalent to the presidency of the Soviet Union.
 The broadcast added that L. P. Beria, V. M. Molotov, Nikolai Bull ganin and Lazar M. Kagonoyich have beenap pointed deputy chair men of the council of ministers.
 Beria was also named minister of the interior and has been named the USSR's permanent U. N. representa- tive, while Bulganin also was named minister of war, the broadcast added
 This means that Malenkov succeeds Stalin in at least one of his two main jobs. Stalin's other big job was as general secretary of the Commun- ist party of the Soviet Union.

 THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
Ioe,a Come

Joe's Gone
 Like a great many dietators be- fore him Joe Stalin, Russia's man who was supposed to be infallible, is dead and the myth that had been drilled into his millions of subjects for the last 20 years that he was almost super-human is eN- pIoded. The old butcher of Mos COW" had a stroke from which he failed to rally. He finally met one foe he couldn't send to the salt mines.
 Even as Stalin prevailed by brute force 10 take over after the death of his predecessor Lenin, there probably will be another blood-letting in the Communist high command to see who's going to be boss. According to the reports the men on top are Molotov, the diplomat, MalenkOY. the man re- ported to really run the Commun- ist party within Russia, and Beria. head of the secret police.
 That School Tax
 bieanwn4e, muse waIs or wrath We've peeu nearing the last lew uays nave uoJums Lo uo wlJn the passlng CI UncIe Joe. They are dlr- e,.eu more specifically al the pro- pUsaI that nas been dumped in the leg4sialRe hopper up in Juneau 10 boost the senOOl tax from S5 10 $l5.
 ,othing that we've heard about in the current legislature has caused quite as much stir among the rank and file who have to pay the buI. They feel it is the height oI something or other, especially ln view of he loudly Ter ritorial income tax which was pas sed on IHe theory that nuisance taxes would be done away with. Inc income tax was supposed to be a one-pacAet personal tax deal, coy- erihg all the headaches, such as the nuisance poll or school tax.
 But, Of course, thele only about a four million dollar surplus in the Territorial treasury as the direct result of the income tax, so some tax-eager beaver wants to raise the school tax.
 Typical of the sentiment current at the moment is this comment from one of our old line Republi- can friends:
 That Legislature is sure fixing it for the Democrats at the next election. First, they can't get by on S3O a day so they boost 1t up to SIS. Now to add insult to injury, they plan to raise the school tax, which makes the little fellow who has been digging up his income tax scream, and you cant blame him. The income tax was supposed to cover such things. Economy leg islature, nuts!"
 Our taxpayer was more than little irate, and some of his more succulent remarks we probably couldn't print anyway. Our type melts under heat.
 Property Tax Out

The Senate passed a repealer yesterday, follow ing up previous action taken by the House. The repeal bill now goes to the Governor who Is expect ed to veto it because he was the in- stigator of the original act. and then it will have to go back for re- consideration of the veto. Senator Barnes voted for repeal. Senator Nolan against.
