Tax Changes
 Proposed for Tobacco, Fuel Oil
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-Tobacco and motor fual oils, with tax changes pro posed for both, vied for attention in Alaska's House of Representa- tives and Senate yesterday.
 The suggested changed cigaret taxes promised to generate con siderable smoke but the real fire developed in hot House debate over t4ae motor fuels. Half the members got into action.
 Finally, leaders decided that it would be wise to sleep on the matter overnight and the bill was made the first order of today's business. 1t proposes a Scent in crease in the present 2-cent tax on fuel for highways users, T. cent increase for aviation gasoline and no increase at all for boats or stationary engines which do not use highways.
 The biggest debate, almost ex- ploSive at times, came over pro- posed exemptions to the fuel tax increases.
 Earlier, on the tobacco front, House Ways and Means Commit tee measure was introduced which proposes ways to tighten present tobacco tax law evasions. Plug ging such holes, Chairman Ken Johnson said, should bring in an additional million dollars bien- nium for the school fund but he admitted it was controversial subject.
 Under it, wholesalers would be made responsible for the tax col lections and thorough licensing system be set up to catch anyone who bought from other sources
 The tax would be 212 mls a cigaret, or five cents pack as at present, but inasmuch as it is the system used by federal agencies, Johnson said, it should enable the territory to get a double check on how many cigarets are being shipped into Alaska.

He announced there will be a joint military command for the European nations Moscow leads. This is an Outgrowth of the recent Moscow security conference, and is a Russian answer to plans for the rearming of West Germany.
 A gallery packed with intent diplomats in the great palace of the Kremlin heard Molotov ar raign the United States. His bitter address must be regarded as major statement of foreign policy
 He backed Red China to the hilt on the FormOsa issue. He accused the United States of having cap tured F'ormosa and the PescadOres and said this must be considered as aggression. He also accused the United States of being intent upon world domination through the capitalist system, "and this means preparation for war"
 MOlotov's speech came in the afternoon session after Bulganin received the premiership. The session was marked by great ovation for Khrushchev. personal ly, the biggest of the day.
 It was Khrushchev who nomin- ated Marshal Bulganin for the premiership, presenting one of the most remarkable displays of per- sonal influence since the Soviet "collective leadership" took over after the death of Stalin. Malenkov, stepping down from the post he assumed l2 hours after Joseph Stalin's death in March 1853, confessed himself a failure in the field of agriculture and announced that the only cor rect course for the Soviet Union is concentration on the develop ment of heavy industry.
 In a statement to the parlia ment, he acknowledged the need to turn over his post to another comrade with greater experience in state work"
 He expected this would provoke "slanderous inventions' in the West. He expressed faith in the ''monolithic" unity of the Com munist Party.

 The new Premier, white beard ed Bulganin, was the Communist in direct charge of Soviet armed forces-under Stalin-during the World War II. He is 59 Khrush- chev is so and Malenkov 5.
 Some western diplomats saw in the choice of Bulganin further evidence of the growing strength of the Army in the Soviet govern ment Others speculated that Bull ganin would serve as sort of chairman of the board rather than a personal leader. All of those present took due note that the nominating speech was snade by Khrushchev and that he had been greeted by a big. standing ovation at the outset
 Khrushchev said Bulganin was the unanimous choice of the Com muniSt Party Central Committee and the Council of Ministers.
 The Parliament gave it's unani- nous approval to the designation of Bulganin.
 Immediately after that Molotov launched into a speech on Soviet foreign policy The 53-year-old Malenkov, seated between Presi- dent Klementy VoroShilov and Khrushchev, listened intently as the foreign minister bitterly and repeatedly accused the United States of trying to impose "an iron curtain and an iron heel" on the Western Hemisphere.
