House Group Issues
Reports on Statehood
For Alaska, Hawaii
By me A,,eeia,sd Pea,

Statehood for Hawaii and
Alaska would strengthen the
United States and complete an
historic pattern dealing with ter
ritories. the House Interior Com
mittee said yesterday.
The committee released a ma
jority report favoring the COM
bined statehood bill, a minority
report favoring .postponement for
both Hawaii and Alaska, and q
minority report opposing state
hood for Alaska.
The committee on February Is
approved the combined bill on q
l9-to-6 vote.
The majority report said state
hood for Hawaii would be a prac-
tlcal demonstration that the
United States practices what it
breaches" in government of, by
and for the people.
Communism Discussed.
: Concerning the issue of COM
. munism. the majority report con-
tends that:
l. The general public in Ha-
. wall has become "far more alert
to the Communist menace dur
ing the past several years."
2. Communist influence and
: power have strikingly declined
during the past few years"
3. Communism in Hawaii "is
no more Of a threat to the pres
ent territorial government or the
proposed State government than
/ IT is in any OF the existing
States"
Alaska and Hawaii, the ma
, Jority added, ARE the only re-
naming incorporated territories
under the American flag which
have not achieved the historical
destiny of incorporated terri
tories, namely statehood"
Pioneers In Democracy
Alaska, along with Hawaii,
has been a pioneer in establish
ing and realizing the dream Of
our founding fathers for true
democracy and equality of OPP
portunity." the report said.
One minority report-by Rep
resentatives Walter Rogers, DEM
ocrat, of Texas; Haley, Democrat,
of Florida; Shuford, Democrat,
of North Carolina: Pillion. Re-
publican. of New York. and Ruth
erford. Democrat. of Texas-said
statehood for both territories
should be deferred.
Representative Hosmer. Re-
publican. of California, gave mi
nority views against admitting
Alaska.
THE entire population of
the territory of Alaska" he said,
sis far less than that of any of
the 435 congressional districts in
the existing 48 States. Under
the circumstances, there simply
does not exist in the territory of
Alaska the basic minimum num-
Der of people to warrant or sup
port statehood status"

NewlCeneral Property Tax Would
 Tax All Property Outside Cities
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-Alaska's contro- versial General Properties Tax of 1949, which ran onto legal shoals and was finally repealed two years ago, is just off the legisla- tive stage, ready for another entry
 A new bill, embodying the same general plan to tax all property in the territory outside munich palities or incorporated and inde- pendent school districts, is being worked on by the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Ken Johnson O-Anchorage) chairman, disclosed Monday.
 Some changes may be made in 1t, however, before actual intro duction, he said The term prop erty'' would be virtually all-in- elusive, including money.
 His disclosure came as both House and Senate settled down to committee work. Only the Senate held a brief, general session be- fore adjourning to the committee rooms.
 In brief, Johnson said, the new bill would create what would be known as a rural school district, covering all property, with some exceptions, which is not taxed Y,0xxy L>x1 o,+ioc o,- J;c+,;o+e rrl,o ov,o percent tax imposed would go into rural school fund
 The measure is drawn, he said, in such way as to attempt to avoid charges tossed against the 1949 law That applied in cities and organized districts along with the rest of inc territory, but tax payers in those areas escaped a double tax if the city or district itself had a property tax of an equal amount.
 To meet possible objections, the new measure states that it is aimed to 'equalize the financial burden of public school education as between property in rural areas and property located in in corporated areas"
 The 1949 tax was assailed by, among others, the territory's min CTS. The Board of Budget lists S1,200,000 as still uncollected or involved in litigation for the four years the law was in effect.
 In contrast with the 1949 law which put a flat value of $500 on each 20-acre claim or part thereof of unpatented or patented but un- improved mining property, the new proposal is for a valuation of $10 an acre This would mean a $2 tax on standard 20-acre claim, instead of the previous $5, Johnson said.
 Stiff penalties would also be set up for swearing falsely or fraudulently to property holdings. That would be a felony, with a fine up to S5,000 or five years in prison, or both. Failure or refusal to make reports on property would be a misdemeanor, subject to a fine up to $1,O00 or six months in prison, or both
 Property which would be ex- cluded would include that of the federal government, the territory or it's subdivisions, and that owned by nonprofit associations for public utility, or by religious, educational or charitable groups and veterans organizations, and unpatented homesteads.
