Quoddy Power
Coming

A 40-year dream of harnessing the
tides off the coast of Maine may gain
the green light when the Corps of
Engineers reports October 1859.
Thirty 10000 XIV generators would
produce 1.9 billion XVIII annually un-
der the two-pool plan utilizing the
almost entirely landlocked 100 square
mile Passamaquoddy Bay and the
adjacent 38 square mile Cobstock
Bay.
Tides ranging from Is to 28 feet
would provide an average head be-
tween the two bays of 10 feet. Ninety
filling gates would permit water to
enter one bay while seventy emptying
gates would permit water to escape
from the other bay. The powerhouse
would be locate between the two
bays.
Five miles of rock-filled dams. four
navigation locks and the powerhouse
would complete the project.
The problem of fluctuating output
could be handled by construction of
the Rankin Rapids Dam on the Saint
John River with 28 million acre-feet
OF usable storage feeding eight $4,000
XIV generators to produce IL billion
XVIII to complement the tidal power
plant.

Profits Undersfafed

A special audit of $4,000 repre-
sentative tax returns for 1949 made
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue
showed what has long been suspected
both net profits and taxable income
of professionals are understated.
The audit indicated that profits are
understated by at least 20 percent.
Had business establishments and pro-
fessionals paid their proper share of
taxes in 1949, the U. S. Treasury
would have gained an additional S2.7
billion.
The audit showed that hotels under
stated profits by an average of 36
per cent, amusement services by 81
per cent, auto dealers by 25 per cent,
transportation, communication and
utilities by 25.9 per cent. construc-
tion by 1876 per cent, and profession
ais an average of IL per cent.
Profits were probably understated
even more significantly than the audit
of 1949 returns showed, since the re-
suits were obtained by only fairly ex-
perienced examiners who had limited
time. 1t is also likely that there were
"errors" that even the most exper-
fenced examiners could not have de-
tected given all the time in the world.

Unemployment Fund Balance Rose in June

JUNEAU - The Unemployment Compensatin Fund balance as of June 30, 1859, rose as compared to either April or May, due to in creased contributions and de- creasing benefit payments.
 The fund balance as of June 30 was $1,540,00O, according to Mer- Till E. Weir, Director of the Elm ployment Security Division of the Department of Labor. This asset balance is offset by liability of $8,265,000 due to money borrowed under the Reed Act.
 During the month of June, $288,000 was paid out in current benefits as compared to $514,000 in May, 1859, and $398,O00 in June, 1858. This shows a substan- tial decline in benefit payments as compared to either the pre- vious month or the same month one year ago.
 During the month of June, 1859, $22,306 was paid out under the Alaska program of temporary un- employment compensation f o r workers who have exhausted their benefits under the Alaska Act. This brings the amount of benefits paid under the Alaska temporary unemployment com pensation plan to a total of $869,- 000 Since this TUG program end ed June 30, 1859, additional pay ments under this program should be small.
 In addition to benefits paid un- der the act as listed above, the Employment Security agency also paid benefits under several other unemployment insurance pro- grams. During the month of June, $72,000 in unemployment insur- ance benefits was paid to persons formerly employed by the federal government, and $2,000 was paid to unemployed veterans under the regular federal program. The to- tai cost of, paying benefits under these programs is paid by the fed era1 government and such pay ments do not affect the Alaska fund

President VetOes
 Housing Measure

WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower yesterday vetoed the omnibus housing bill. calling it extravagant and inflationary. He asked that Congress produce a less costly measure.
 In a special message to the Sen ate, Eisenhower expressed dis appointment that Congress had sent him a bill 'so excessive in the spending it proposes, and so de- fective in other respects, that it would do far more damage than good"
 His message attacked several key provisions of the $1 ,375, ,000, ,000 measure but he made imitation his basic objections to the measure.
 This was the fourth major veto by the President this session.
 House Republican L e d e r Charles Halleck of Indiana had told reporters earlier that he had recommended a veto.

Gruening g Calls on Seaton to Square Campaign Promise
By FRITZ WITH

WASHINGTON, LR - Senator Ernest Gruening O-Alaska has asked a meeting with Secretary of the Interior Fred A. Seaton to clarify Seaton's position on min eral rights of certain Alaska home steaders.
 Gruening made his request in letter in which he told Seaton- it should be determined whether what you said then Gin Alaska last November about this subject squares with the position you are taking now that the campaign or atory is over"
 The controversy involves oil and gas rights on certain land on the Kenai Peninsula, where oil has been discovered. Legislation to deal with the question is being considered by the Senate Interior Committee.
 Opposition to a bill by Gruen- ing was expressed by Seaton at a news conference last week.
 The Gruening bill, on which hearings were held recently would give oil and gas rights to certain settlers who were completing homestead requirements prior to discovery of oil on the peninsula in June, 1857.
 Under present homestead laws, the federal government would re- tain the subsurface rights to land on which homesteaders had not submitted final acceptable proof of fulfilling requirements prior to the oil discovery.
 Those who completed the home stealing process prior to that time received mineral as well as sur face rights. The intent of Gruen- ing's bill is to give oil and gas rights to those who were on the way to completion.
 in his letter to SeatOn, made public Monday, Gruening quoted the Secretary as saying the Gruen- ing bill would take 90 per cent of Aloska's revenue from mineral leasing on public domain and give it to the homesteaders in the Ke- mai Peninsula.
 T think those who entered on the land in good faith to home stead it prior to discovery of oil should be entitled to oil and gas rights with surface rights" Gruen- ing wrote. That is what my bill would accomplish and it is all that it would accomplish.
 The senator referred to a Sea- ton news conference in Kenai last November, at which he quoted the Secretary as saying "the only remedy is to get the homesteaO law changed. That is the way we do things in America"
