Appeals Court Upholds Diem;s ;ssal of Suit Against Alaska Fish Packers

SAN FRANCISCO R-The US. Court of Appeals yesterday ruled in favor of eight Alaska fish pack ing companies in their fight against paying the territory S175,- 900 in taxes.
 The appeals court in 2-1 deci- sion affirmed the dismissal of the territory's suit against the com pe'lies by Federal District Judge Walter H. Hodge at Juneau on Dec II, 1856.
 The territory claimed legisla- tive mandate of 1853 which re- pealed the territory's property tax of 1949, contained a saving section which would require the companies to pay taxes due for four years before the repeal.
 The companies argued the re- peal exempted them from pay ment for those years 1949 thru 1852. The appeals court majority decision said the repeating act "completely wiped out any tax liability except as to municipal, school or public utility district taxes" which were not involved.

Watch How You
Walk Says Chief

Safety hints from Police Chief
H. S. Weaver:
Walkers have many opportunities
to become accident victims, or to
stay out of the statistics. Much of
it depends on the way they walk.
Crossing streets at intersections,
preferably where Stop sign or
traffic signal controls traffic, is
ten times safer than crossing in
mid-block.
Stepping from between parked
cars is most dangerous. One must
see that no vehicles are nearby,
and seeing is impossible when a
car blocks your vision.
Getting out of the left-hand door
of car is worse. Few persons look
to the rear before alighting; most
of them are facing away from
traffic.
Drivers have an obligation to do
everything possible to avoid strik-
ing a pedestrian, even when the
pedestrian ignores his obligation by
walking illegally and imprudently
Some motorists believe they ar
free to proceed the moment the,
have the green light. Actually, the,
must wait until all traffic, vehicle.
and pedestrians, have cleared the
intersection.
