the year could prevent 1855 from
boosting the United States econ
omy to a new peak.
This was so because the previ-
Gus peak year was 1858, when
the full years gross, national
production - total output Of
goods and Services-came to
$364.9 billion. First-quarter pro-
duction that year was only
1851, $50, 000, 900, some $7,250.-
100000 below the f1rst-quarter
pace of this year. The peak
quarter of 1858. which was also
the all-time high for any quar-
ter's economic activity, was $369.9
billion, or less than a billion
dollars above the opening-quar-
ter rate this year.

planned that DR.. Seckinger

The disclosure was made by Or.

The opening test also is sched-

The device probably will be

House Bill Would Tighten Cigaret
Tax Collections While Removing
Tax From Other Forms of Tobacco
BY JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, lR - After TWO days
/ of debating and some minor
amendments, the House approved
Friday 20 to a bill Tightening
up tax collections on cigarettes
and removing the tax from other
forms of tobacco.
/ The House also passed a bill
to allow veterans benefits to men
who served 80 days in the Korean
fighting, instead Of requiring a
years service, and to relieve a
man who fought in both World
War III and in Korea from having
to pay back his World War III
bonus before he could get loan
as a Korean veteran.
The vote on final passage was
p to after a brief but lively
debate on the floor.
The Senate, meanwhile, passed
an even dozen bills during its
busiest afternoon burst of bill
approving. All were non-contro-
verSial. The bills now go to the
| House.
One calls for creation Of a
Territorial Library Service, with
a library board and a territorial
librarian. The purpose of the bill
is to provide territorial assistance
in getting federal or other grants
for library facilities for outlying
areas.
Create Territorial Library Service
The Senate also passed bill
by Sen. Frank Barr D-FairbankS)
to create a fire marshal within
the territorial police organization.
He would have the pay of a police
captain and would have extensive
authority to crack down on any
conditions or institutions which
he Judged to be fire hazards. He
also would cooperate with fire
department authorities in the
cities.
Other measures approved I'M
animOuSly were routine bills
which came from the Legislative
Council.
Taylor Opposes cisaret Tax Bill
Before final passage Of the
cigaret tax bill in the House,
Warren Taylor warned the House
'the bill is all hashed up" the
penalties for violation of the
licensing provisions are too Sc
we're and it covers too many SUBJ
jectS.
1T won't collect as much taxes
as we do now" he predicted. IF
the question ever comes up, I'll
advise my clients not to pay the
tax"
It would provide for license
fees on vending machines as well
as on all types of cigaret handlers.
Rep. Ken Johnson D-Anchor-
age, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee that sponsored
the bill replied tartly: Il think
Mr.. Taylor has convinced the
House it is a good bill"
Johnson said the legal counsel
had approved the penalties as
being in line with most states
and much lighter than some.
1 Johnson cited figures to show
that 80 per cent of the tobacco
tax comes from cigarets-$754,026
last year, while pipe and chewing
tobacco and snuff produced only
$28,607 and cigars only $34,694.
i He said the tax commissioner
considered the collection on the
other forms of tobacco as toe
| troublesome for the amount OF
/ revenue involved and predicted
| the tightening of the loopholes
would add close to a million

Cabinet Post
For Atomic
Energy Asked
ATOMIC ENERGY. BY David

ATOMIC ENERGY. BY David
Shea Teeple. tDuell. Sloan
and Pearce-Little. Brown;
so.
Mr.. Teeple represents what
President Eisenhower might
call a "parochial" interest. He
has worked on atomic matters
In the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, Congress. the Army. the
Air Force and the State De-
partment.
He proposes that a cabinet
post for atomic energy be
established so that the United
States atomic policies can be
more directly controlled by the
electorate. The present COM
mission, he fears. stands in
danger of making too many
mistakes in its clustered at
mosphere.
Mr.. Teeple also claims that
the commission hasn't enough
authority-'a position less i'm
portant than that Of the Post
Office" Yet, he points out,
atomic energy is having vast
effects on our national secu-
rity, our foreign relations,
health and welfare, agricul-
ture, the political structure Of
some thinly populated States,
the domestic economy, mining,
civil defense and education.
Others say that cabinet
members responsible for these
areas should adapt atomic
energy to their fields.
But some revision Of the
Aces position in our Govern
ment is now being advocated
by increasing numbers of men
on Capitol Hill. Mr.. Teeple's
ideas should hRve a place in
the re-appraisal which Con-
gress apparently contemplates.
