Rep. King To Ask
Tax Considerations
For Alaskans

WASHINGTON, R-Rep. King
O-Calif) said Saturday he will
ask the House Ways and Means
Committee to consider the posi-
bility Of special tax considerations
for Alaska.
He said in prepared statement
the considerations would be SINH
lar to those in Puerto Rico, where
generally speaking, income de-
rived within Puerto Rico is not
subject to federal income tax and
there are other aids granted by
federal tax law which by some
are held to be primarily respon-
sible for industrial advances"
made there.
King, the ranking minority
member of the tax-writing COM
mittee, said there is a question
among attorneys as to whether
Congress can grant tax conces-
sions to- an incorporated territory
such as Alaska. Puerto Rico is
commonwealth
This point, he said, is a consti-
tutional question which "could
only be settled in the courts, not
in Congress.
King said "a real argument" can
be made for Alaskans that a wage
Garner automatically is thrown
into a higher tax bracket simply
because costs Of living in Alaska
are higher. A worker receives
more money but the wage may
buy him no more, he said

<nowland SAYS Senate
COPS Will Combat Efforts
To Tie in Alaska Statehood

WASHINGTON, R-Majority
Leader Knowland, California Re-
publican, said today that Senate
Republicans will combat efforts
to tie statehood for Alaska to a
bill to bring Hawaii into the
Union.
Know1and said in an interview
he believes there is a better
chance for statehood for both if
their cases are considered separ-
ately
The battle over statehood is
just beginning on the Senate floor
and may run on for weeks-with
occasional breaks. A House-ap-
proved measure for granting
Hawaii statehood became pending
business in the Senate Friday
night when a five-week battle
over treaty making powers ended.
Sen. Anderson promptly moved
to amend it by adding statehood
for Alaska, which has not been
approved by the House.
Most Republicans are expected

theory it would add two more
COP senators to their present
slim ranks. The party now has At

For the same reason, many
Democrats favor statehood for AL
