.Anti-Press Bias
10 FEC
BY the Associated Press

A spokesman for newspaper
publishers contended yesterday
that newspapers seeking radio
or television stations are hand
cuffed" by a Federal Communi-
cations Commission policy of
discrimination"
Elisha Hanson, Washington
attorney, speaking for the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION, urged at a congress
sional hearing that the conmu-
nications law be amended to
prohibit what he described as
an anti-newspaper policy by the
FEC.
"A newspaper has three strikes
against it" if it completes for a
radio or television station against
a non-newspaper applicant. Mr..
Hanson told a House Commerce
Subcommittee.
Reminded by committee
member that FEC spokesman
vigorously deny" any such dis
elimination, Mr.. Hanson re-
torted:
Most law violators usually do
vigorously deny"
You think the commission
has violated the law?" he was
asked.
Il certainly do he replied.
He said that up to January 81.
1856. the commission had enter
ed final orders in IL contested
cases in which one or more APP
plicants had newspaper associa-
tions. In 10 of those. he said,
lit invoked its so-called 'di-
versifictaion policy'-I prefer to
call it its discrimination policy
to tip the scales against the
newspaper applicants"

Dulles, Back From Far East, Says
US. Must Meet New Communist
Tactics With Foreign Aid Program

WASHINGTON, R-Secretary
of State Dulles said Friday night
new Communist economic tactics
in Asia "are a danger" which the
United States must challenge thru
its own program of aiding free
nations.
Dulles told the American people
he was encouraged" about the
future of Asia but believes that
eff we wish to see the free world
preserved and enlarged, we must
help, or forces of despotism will
take control
He thus left in doubt that the
administration plans an about
fight for its embattled foreign aid
program as a vital" weapon in
the new conflict with Commu-
niSm.
Dulles reported to the American
people by radio and television on
his first-hand impressions of con-
ditions in Asia where he visited
10 countries during the past three
weeks.
His report generally was an OPP
timistic one. He said he was ZEN
couraged" about the future of
Asia even though Soviet and
Chinese economic tactics are a
danger"
The one spot in the Far East
where conflict most threatens"
he said, is in the area of Formosa,
the Nationalist Chinese stronghold

WHO is HIT HARDEST?

The federal income tax begins at 20 percent, on
the lowest taxable incomes From there it rises fast
until it reaches 81 percent in the high brackets.
You might logically judge from this that people
of large means, because of progressive taxation, pay
most of the bill But they don't Eghty-fo percent
of all individual income taxes collected come from the
basic 20 percent rae-and only Is percent from the
surtaxes AS Graham Patterson puts it in Town Journal
$50 the high rates actually destructive of
income than productive of revenue"
Excessively costly government hits everyone
and it hits people of moderate means hardest There
aren't enough rich people to carry the load.

Women of Italy Gave
200 Pounds of Their Hair
Fer Wigs for Quo Vadis

When M-G-M's giant Technical
or production of "Quo Vadis' was
filmed in Rome, the women of
Italy gave up their hair for the
movies!
Not only did the spectacular
film, starring Robert Taylor and
Deborah Kerr and coming soon to
The Theater in Nome, make use
of more actors, more sets, more
costumes and more props than
any other motion picture ever
made, it also used more hair.
An estimated 5000 wigs were
fashioned from several dozen
bales of hair weighing total of
200 pounds. And all to adorn the
heads of the actors and actresses
who portray ancient Romans in
the thrilling story of the birth of
Christianity in a pagan world.

long sought by the Chinese Reds.
He noted the United States is
working patiently and persist
entity" to obtain agreement with
the Communists on a identification
of force there.
Dulles said he came back from
his trip more than ever con-
WINGED of the vital importance" of
American foreign aid, both past
and future.
But he said this country has no
desire to dominate other nations,
and docs not seek ties of mutual
defense with any country whatso-
ever" unless that country wants
such ties. 1t wants only the indie
pendence and improvement of the
free nations, he added.
His speech thus was designed
in part as an appeal for American
support of administration foreign
policy-particularly the foreign
aid program now in Congress-
and in part as reinsurance to
the Asian peoples of American re-
spect for their aims and their way
of life

Presented at
School Ceremony

An impressive ceremony at the
Nome School Friday evening was
held for the purpose of presenting
original, signed copies of the Al
aska Constitution to the Nome
School and the Kegoayah Kozga
Library.
The presentation TO the school
was by NJ. J. Walsh, Constitution
al Convention delegate, who re-
called a similar event 40 years ago
when Alaska was granted terri
torial status. Presentation to the
Kegoayah Kozga Library was
made by Mayor Steffen Andersen
to the president of the group, Mrs.
Robert Heath.
The program was we'll coordin-
ated by Master Of Ceremonies
John McNees, who told the audi
ence many of the events during
the convention which now are
history.
In presenting the speaker of the
evening, Judge Walter Hodge,
Jim Won der Heydt paid tribute to
him for his work as juriSt
throughout the territory and ex-
pressed his own admiration of the
way he has conducted his office.
Won der Heydt also voiced the
opinion that the Second Division
will gain more than any other
part of Alaska by the step forward
when statehood is attained. 1t is
his belief that the fact we are now
the retarded area with the great
est potential on North America,
means that we will make the
greatest strides when we are no
longer controlled from Washing
ton
Judge Hodge gave fine adj
dress on the several phases of the
constitution, called special atten-
ton to the fact that it is one of
the shortest state constitutions,
and yet is very complete.
The special music provided by
the Nome School Band under Rob
ert Heath and the singing of al
aska's Flag" by the High School
Chorus under Mrs. w. Cameron
was enjoyed by all.
