When the American Mining
Congress, . national organization
Of mine operators, recommended
early this year that Tom Lyon Of
Salt Lake City be appointed di-
rector Of the Federal Bureau Of
Mines, Senator watkins, Repub-
lican, Of Utah agreed 1t would be
q pretty good idea. Mr.. Lyon Is q
mining engineer and . division
chief In the Federal Defense Ma
terials Procurement Agency.
When the Utah Senator recon-
mended Mr.. Lyon to Secretary Of
the Interior Mckay, the Secretary
agreed It would be = fine idea.

Daniel A. Reed Of New York, head
of the House Ways and Means
Committee.
Representative Reed and his coll
leagues gained their positions Of
power solely by being reelected
regularly by the party in power.
They need have no other qualifica-
ton than the consistent support
Of their constituents.
When Mr.. Reed, an upstate Re-
publican, took over as chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee
this year, he automatically was
given almost unlimited power to
block all legislation on tax matters
including such related things
as customs regulation, reciprocal
trade agreements and social secu-
rity-all Of which he does not like.
This negative power carries with
it great positive power to send to
the House floor bills he does like.
Burst Of Power
Last week, however, 1t was dem
onStrated that Mr.. Reeds power
had its limits. The combined
strength of the White House and
the Republican leadership in the
House was turned on full force,
and "Syngman" Reed-as wags
were calling him-waS beaten.
Mr.. Reed believes the Republic
cans are pledged to lower taxes,
and he insists they be lowered
now. The President, on the other
hand, wants taxes to stay where
they are until q balanced budget
Is in sight.
Early this year Chairman Reed
showed through his committee a
bill to cut income taxes by about
10 per cent at the end Of this
month-the same date when the
excess-profits tax on corporations
is due to expire. But the Presi-
dent asked approval of a bill to
extend the excess-profits tax until
December 81, when both corporate
and individual taxes could be cut
back.
Mr.. Reed sent his tax-cut bill
on to the House Rules Committee
to be cleared for floor action. He
refused even to consider the Presi-
dents tax-increase bill. Despite
pleas and threats from the House
leadership and two talks with the
President, Mr.. Reed held fast.
Down Goes the Boom
Then last week the boom was
lowered. In a move almost never
used on a major bill and never
before used on q tax measure, the
Rules Committee, under pressure
of Republican leaders, voted to by
pass Ways and Means and send
the tax-increaGe bill directly to
Lne HOUSE uOOr.
There were many miSgivings in
the House over the action. A COM
mittee chairman is only a little
short of sacred in his own field Of
authority. To strip one Of preroga-
tives held by chairmen since the
First Congress ran contrary to the
body of tradition built up in 81
subsequent Congresses. And fur
thermore, every member Of Con-
gress hopes some day to be COM
mittee chairman, and most want
all rights and privileges Of chair
manship to remain intact.
So there is a question Of how the
tax bill will be treated on the
floor. First the action of the Rules
Committee will be put to vote.
That will be the crucial test:
Democrats and some Republicans
claim they support the Presidents
tax bill but will vote against the
Rules Committees deviation from
the usual order Of business.
II the Rules Committee action is
approved, however, the bill should
have relatively clear sailing, both
through the House and Senate.

The Big Issue

BY his own lights, and those of
his people, Syngman Rhee was
absolutely right. The only man in
Korea with nerve enough to dis
pute hinl-a leader of the opposi-
ton Democratic National Party
named Pyung Ok Chough-said
he believed DR.. Rhee would finally
"See the light" and 60 along with
the U. N. on q truce. On the way
home from the Office, he was set,
upon by plug uglies and roundly
beaten. The next day the National
Assembly branded Chough a
traitor" and demanded his exile.
He has now been placed in PRO
tective custody"
Letter to Clark
On Wednesday, the Korean
government released the text of a
letter DR.. Rhee had sent to the
U. N. commander, Gen. Mark
Clark, outlining his views on a
truce. Though it rambled, though
its facts were sometimes less than
factual, though its logic was not
without holes, it was a fortnight
enough letter. It ended:
eve have no choice but to say
no. We say no now with deep hui
mility, not out Of defiance"
One of the basic points in DR..
Rhee's argument is that the
United Nations, by making a truce
now, would be abandoning its
stated aim of unifying Korea.
There is wide disagreement In the
West with DR.. Rhee's interpreta-
tion of U. N. aims. AS usual, both
sides have grounds for their state
mentS.,
Here are the four pertinent
actions taken by the U. N. in the
Korean affair, on which both
arguments are based:
. June IS, 1850. The Security
Council called for the end Of hos
tilities and the withdrawal Of
North Korean forces beyond the
38th Parallel.
. July z, 1850. The Security
Council set up the United Ma
tions Command under United
States leadership for the stated
purpose of repelling the armed
attack and restoring international
peace in the area.
. October 2, 1850. The General
Assembly voted, ATS, to unity and
rebuild Korea; to set up a 7-na-
ton commission on the unif1ca-
ton and rehabilitation of the
country, and to hold elections
under U. N. auspices throughout
the country.
. October IL, 1850. The U. N. In
terim Committee on Korea ap-
proved an Australian resolution
that the Syngman Rhee govern
ment has authority only south Of
the 38th Parallel, and that the
Republic Of Korea government
is the legal regime only in areas
that were under It's effective con-
troll when the war began.
Proof for All
To support his side of the argu-
ment, DR.. Rhee points to the Octo-
ber Z resolution calling for unifi-
cation. To support the other side
of the question, q. N. spokesmen
advert to the June and July
resolutions calling for the repul-
sion Of aggression.
AL right, says Dr.. Rhee, you
came here to unity Korea; don't
desert your posts with the job still
undone.
All right, says the D. n. we came
to Korea to repel aggression; we
have done so; now we can have q
truce and talk over unification.

ore llmlnary examinations on a large number of additional title insurance policies m con-
 nection with Kodiak property and loans. He expressed plea sure at the interest which has
 been shown iR Kodiak in bet tering title conditions.
 The basic titles in Kodiak compare favorably with those
 in other towns of the third di- vision except for the Leite and Altman additions" Kelleher said. He added that his inves- tigation shows the Leite ad- dition was sold without physi-
 cal survey and until the tract is surveyed his company is un able to issue policies in that
 area,
 Kelleher said the residents of that area could correct the impairment Of their titles by deeding all the property to a common trustee. Then the land could be surveyed, as was done in Kodiak in 1940 by the Townsite Trustee, and deeds can be issued upon correct property descriptions.
 Marshall Crutcher, presi- dent, of the Bank of Kodiak, said that it will not be possible to finance FILA loans in the Leite Addition until the resi- dents of the area see fit to carry out some such plan as Kelleher suggested.

 pany expects to expand this type of record coverage to the Kodiak area.

Title Insurance Man Checks Local Property

A representative of the Title Insurance and Trust Company of Alaska was in Kodiak re- gently to record papers in con- nection with the mortgage is- sued by Aleutian Homes on the new Housing project.
 To meet FILA requirements the mortgage was covered by title insurance, amounting to $4, 230,000.
 Thomas P. Kelleher, vice president of the Title In- surance and Trust Company of Alaska, also delivered to the Bank of Kodiak the first policy of title insurance ever isaued in Kodiak. It was to Nick Me- keferoff covering a FILA loan on Mission Road. Until 1853 such policies had to be pur- chased in the states.

If we could Judge by the name,
a certain tree might provide us
with meat in time Of need. I am
thinking of the sausage tree, a

The sausage tree has wide

grows to a height Of IS or 40
feet. It makes an excellent shade
tree, but can get along only in a
climate which is warm the year

Reddish-brown flowers, shaped
somewhat like bells, appear on

fruits take the place of the flow
ers. The fruits have the shape OF
long, thick sausages; many of them
have a length Of more than a foot.

may fail to give proof of what is

of this tree taste nothing like the

Several readers have asked Tor

using the authorizations AM and

for post meridian and ante meri-

then, that noon should be that

Most people write midnight as
IL PM. Dictionaries say simply
that midnight is IL o'clock at

The bidding:

I spade Pass 3spades Pass

Pass Double All Pass
OF course, Miss Brash's blind
stab at seven spades was very
bad bid. And as you see Mr.. Muzzy
could have taken the first trick
against that contract, with the
ace of hearts. Thus he would have
scored 100 points on a hand in
which his opponents had prac-
tically all of the high cards. Could
you ask for better result?
Mr.. Muzzv could. He wanted 200
points on the hand. So he doubled.
Without the double there would
have been no reason for Mr. Dale
10 disturb seven spades. He had
everything promised by his jump
raise, with something to spare.
But after the double came in,
Mr.. Dale did a little thinking.
First. it seemed certain that Mr..
Muzzy didn't have a spade trick.
And if not, then he must have
an ace. Mr.. Dale had an ace in
his hand. Miss Brash., then, could
have only two aces. Even she is
not wild enough to jump to a
grand slam, off two aces.
The only answer seemed to be
that she had a void suit. And 1t
was not hard to determine where
that void was. 1t had to be in
clubs-the only suit in which she
could not have first or second
round control in high cards.
Therefore, Mr.. Muzzy had one of
the red aces-and it was winner.
Mr.. Muzzy knew what to lead
to defeat seven spades. But if Mr..
Dale bid seven no-trump, the open
ing lead would be shifted to Mr.
Abel. And he would have to guess.
Since there were four suits to
choose from. the odds we're to l
against his choosing the right one.
On this reasoning, Mr.. Dale bid
seven no-trump, and after some
heavy thought Mr. Abel led dia-
mond. Thirteen tricks were laid
down. Trying for an extra 100
points, Mr.. Muzzy saw Mr.. Dale
score 2690 points.
Don't double a contract you feel
sure you can set. when there is
a chance the double may drive
your opponents into a contract
they can make.
