GIANT CABBAGE MAY GET
 NATIONAL PUBLICITY

The winner of the Matanuska Valley Fair giant cabbage con- test may get nationwide public ity in mid-Septenlber.
 The challenge that giant cab bage growers in Alaska put out 3 month or So ago is getting re- suits. According to work receiv- ed this week by fair manager, Al V. Hagen, stateside competition is in the planning stages at For reston, III. where an annual Sauerkraut Day will be celebrat- ed September15. Perry s. Me- Lain of Anchorage, and former FoITeston resident, made the sug- geStion to the American Legion post in that city that prize be offered for the largest head of cabbage presented for competi- tion. The far-reaching competi- tion would draw entries from every state in the Union. When the winner of the Matanuska Valley Fair cabbage contest is announced, that entry would be sent to Forreston to compete against the largest cabbage grown in the States. Alaskans have been producing the worlds largest cabbages the past several years and this year are being of fered $50 for a 50 pound cab bage, plus a dollar a pound for every pound above the 50 pound mark.

PARTNERSHIP POWER POLICY is
BANKRUPT, SENATOR MORSE SAYS

said 27 such projects had been built
in the past so years.
Davis didn't name the dams, tell
where they were, or tell how much
power they produced, Morse noted.
So Morse asked Davis for the list.
Largest is Ohio Falls in Kentucky
with 80,320 kilowatts of installed
capacity Smallest is Rocky Ford Dam
in Washington, generating 1877 kilo-
watts. The first partnership" dam
was authorized in 1879, the last in
1887. Together they produce $4,000
kilowatts.
Morse contrasted this with the
100000 kilowatts now installed
on. the Columbia River, with an
other 100000 kilowatts being
available by 1960-61-"22 times
as much" He noted that Tennessee
Valley Authority will have 9,000,-
600 kilowatts on the line in 1856.
Morse spoke at the annual meet
ing of Columbia Basin Electric Co

Nary, former Oregon senator who
battled for public power, cit was not

YELL0WTAIL DAM SHOULD BE BUILT

"The breakdown of the negotia-

Coop Refunds Taxable When
Cash Redeemed, Court Saws

SAN FRANCISCO-(CNS)- When
co-op's refunds add to a PERSONS
income, they're taxable when they're
redeemed in cash-not the year
they're earned. The U. S. appeals
court here has so ruled. in the case
of Moe VS.. Earle.
An Oregon farmer, Moe, earned
coop refunds in 1912. Instead of
cash, he and other members took
Certificates of contribution TO re-
volving capital funds" The coop re-
deemed these in cash during 1919
and 1851.
Moe didn't pay a tax on the re-
funds. He says they were taxable in
1912 and the u. S. can't collect the
tax now. The internal revenue col
lector disagreed. He says the refunds
were taxable in 1949 and 1851 when
Moe got the cash.
A district court upheld the collec-
tor, and now so has the appeals court.
The q. S. took exactly the oppo-
site view in Florida case. In its suit
against B. A. Carpenter, the govern
ment held that similar coop refund
certificates were taxable the year
issued.

LESS Than Honorable" Stigma
EIGHT CTS CHALLENGE ARMY DISCHARGE PRACTICE WHICH
HAS BLACKLISTED HUNDREDS OF VETERANS


Eight privates last month brough
the commanding general of the u.
First Army into Federal Distric
Court in New York in the first majo
legal test of the Arny's right II
blacklist men whose service record
are above question.
The eight CTS are challenging pro
cedures which have victimized hun.
dreds of veterans by sending them
out of the Army with ''less than
honorable" discharges. The witch
hunt works this way: On induction
a CT is handed an oath form listing
the organizations prescribed by the
Attorney General Ga list originally
compiled exclusively for use in hiring
civilian employees in sensitive govern
ment positions). He is told he may
invoke the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution and refuse to sign.
If he refuses, or if the Army's
loyalty board receives "derogatory"
information from .'faceless inform
er," the CT is kept at private's rank,
given limited ''non-sensitive" work.
Before his hitch is up he is given a
hearing" in which his beliefs and
the beliefs Of his family are probed.
VICTIMS FATE
Al least one CT was charged
with reading the NATION and THE
NEW REPUBLIC. The bill of particu-
lars said that:
"both (nlagazines) have long
records as liberal publications. That
they cannot be described as Com
munist, but they are SO infiltrated
with Communist Party policy that
they serve the interests of the
Communists and confuse liberals
on many issues"
The same CT was suspected because
his mother invited Negroes into her |
home for tea. Still others have been
with "associating" with their
suspect parents and only few, like |
Eugene Landy, have sur
Tived such associations in their serv-
zee careers.

The full court test came when the
eight GIs opened suit before Federal
Judge David Edelstein on Oct. II
against 1t. Gen. Thomas w. Herren,
commanding the First Army.
The eight privates, all stationed at
Fl. Dix, are: Theodore Bernstein,
Stanley Hauser, Bertram Lessuck,

eight said:
