battles for shares of available
funds.
The move also could open the
door to further attempts to
readjust the city's fiscal struc-
ture. One of the principal
aims of the 1887 act. which
created the highway fund, was
to minimize such shifts.
The general fund, into which
go real estate, income anc
numerous other taxes, supports
most of the city's government
tai activities, including schools
welfare. health, libraries anc
the fire department along with
general police functions. The
highway, sewer. water anc
motor vehicle parking fund:
are earmarked chiefly for theil
respective special purposes.
Faces Deficit
While the higway fund is
slated to have S930,000 surplus
in the next fiscal year, it is
facing a sizeable deficit under
the city's long range road
building program. But the gen.
eral fund is already in Difficult
ties and faces an even larger
long-range deficit.
According to latest esti-
mates, the highway fund ma!
be some S88 million short of
planned construction in thu
next 10 years. But a general
fund deficit of 5000 million has
been mentioned for the same
period.
In the pending budget, this
highway fund is scheduled fol
a S3.5 million loan, but the
general fund is scheduled fol
loans of $3.50 million.
To bolster the general fund
the commissioners have asked
for some Sl2.7 million in ta1
increases which now are await
ing Congressional action. Tit
general fund difficulties havt

Opposition Lets
Z Tax Bills Pass,
Prepares to Fight

evidence indicates that the Al
mond-oppositlon bloc in the
Legislature is honing its prun-
ing shears to trim about $50
million of the appropriations
bill when it comes up for debate
next week.
Critics of what Gov. ALMOND
calls his "bare-bones budget
are harmonizing, II don't want
her, you can have her, she's
too fat for me-"
Opponents, led by State Sen
ator Harry F. Byrd. jr., of Win
chester. showed a surprising
lack of resistance to two tax
bills that swiShed through the
House of Delegates this week
And at least two Of them have
switched position on a third
revenue bill to assure its clear
ance from the House Finance
Committee tomorrow afternoon
This is the committee that
voted 9-8 to kill Gov. Almonds
sales tax program and regis
tered the same margin against
the administration in two sub.
sequent test roll calls.
Decisive Battle Awaited
The question here is: Where
is the fight coming?
Neither Senator Byrd nor any
of his allies have retreateo
from their charge that the Gov.
ernor's budget contains toe
much fiat"
The appropriations commit
tee yesterday reported the bud.
get bill that sets essential State
needs at S498 million in the
next two years. This is $1t
million more than Gov. ALMOND
requested in his original budget
request.
AS reported, the bill call!
for more than $50 million II
new tax revenue.
Friends and foes of the saleI
tax have coalesced into a group
referred to unofficially al
friends Of the budget" Earl!
in the week, they came up will
a flexible Seven-point tax pro
gram, which could be cut of
or varied at any point, depend
ing on budget requirements.
2 Steps Taken
Two of the measures in tina
package already have cleared
the House with virtually no op
position.
The first. by Delegate Kossel
Gregory of Roanoke would cap
ture a $40 million windfall b,
moving up the collection dat
Tor the tax on capital and in
tangible property of businesses
The second, cleared yester
day with only one vote agains
it, called for 10 per cent lev,
on whisky and wine to brinI
in $23 million in the next bien
mum. The patron, Delegat
Robert Whitehead of Nelson
County. amended it to limit tn
tax to two years.
The House Finance Commit,
tee is believed ready to report
by an ll-6 vote tomorrow
afternoon another Whitehead
bill placing a 3-cents-per-pacl
tax on cigarettes and a cor
responding levy on other to
bacco products. This woult
yield $25 million.
These are the first thre,
items in the coalition group
program. Together. they woulC
raise $50 million of the needed
$50 million.
From this point on, however
the Almond opposition is ex
pected to fight additional ia!
measures in the House. Thei
strategy is to have only $5I
million in revenue available
when the budget reaches tn,
Senate.

Through another parliamentary maneuver Shore
legislators today able postpone action until Mon

the change. The general fund
is more hard-pressed than the
highway fund.
Involved in the fund shift is
$2.356, 1000. The sum, about Is
per cent of the uniformed police
cost, is expected to grow in
years to come.
The Senate and House Dis
trict Committees were not con-
suited about the shift, aides
said. Normally. District revenue
matters must be cleared through
these units. In addition, traffic
policemen were expressedly as
signed by a 1887 law to the
city's highway fund, which
comes from gasoline and motor
vehicle revenue.
Amending Not Requested
| The commissioners have
made no request to have the
law amended.
Senator Pastore, Democrat OF
Rhode Island, Chairman of the
Senate District Appropriations
Subcommittee, questioned city
officials on the fund change
during a hearing on the $24O
million city budget.
Schuyler Lowe, general ad-
miniStration director, testified
that the aim was to keep up
with expanded requirements
for highway construction. No
mention was made of the
procedural question.
The fund change is not men
toned in the pending APP
preparation measure or in the
reports of the appropriation
committees. However. custom
airy appropriation language
charging part of the police cost
to the highway fund has beer
omitted.
Mr.. Pastore said yesterday he
had not been aware of any
legal impeachment to the change
Congressional rules permit
points of order barring ap.
preparations measures from in.
vading the territory of legis.
lative committees, however, anc
Mr.. Pastore said he intended tc
look into the matter.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc.
Laughlin, questioned about the
change, told a reporter he felt
the city had acted properly. He
also reaffirmed the stand of Of
ficials that the change is
desirable.
Doubt Voiced
One legislative source, after
reviewing the language of the
1887 statute, voiced strong
doubt about the procedure
however. Unless some other
statutory provision has been en-
acted changing the effect Of
the law, the language would
seem to require continuing traf.

highway fund until the law is
modified, the source said.
There also appeared to be

 Before the people of Alaska can have an unemployment insur- ance program, this deficit condi- ton must be recognized as fed eral problem. It must be recog- nized, and corrected, by the Con- gress of the United States"

 Sen. Ernest Gruening urged in his prepared talk that the fedora ton be ever alert for any attempt on the part of out-ofstate con- tractors or employers to bypass the use of Alaskan labor.
 "The importation of outsiders and discrimination against resi- dents," Gruening said, has been a historical practice in virtually every field of labor activity.
 Gruening said Alaska needs more industry and the cooperation of the federal government to pro- vide the essentials which Alaska as a territory was denied.
 Specifically, Gruening said, Al aska needs federal cooperation in the development of low cost pow CT, in the initiation and comple- ton of highway, airport and har- bor projects and in the rehabili- tation of the states fisheries.

SITKA, LR - The federal gov ernment should assume the res possibility for wringing the red ink from A1askas unemployment insurance fund, R. L. Rettig said Tuesday.
 Rettig, Republican candidate for the US. House of Representa- tives seat now held by Rep. Ralph Rivers, told the State Federation of Labor federal activities showed the fund in the hole and the fed eral government, therefore, should bail it out.
 Rettig's speech, on the second day of the 14th annual conven- ton of the federation, came as actual business of the meeting re- mained at a virtual standstill.
 Speeches were the order of the day. Sitka, in fact, took on the air of a political carnival as a parade of candidates and non- candidates-at least for this year dropped to the rostrum.
 Gov. William Egan and Blake Mckinley of Palmer, son of pr. Lee Mckinley, COP candidate for the US. Senate, got in the first licks Monday.
 Egan told the some 70 conven- ton delegates Alaska'S great need was a federal reinsurance pro- gram in employment security, to spread the risk among the various states, (which means the adoption of national rather than a region al insurance base"
 Blake Mckinley
 Young Mckinley, called in to pinchhit for his father who found it impossible to attend, told the convention:
 ''Dr. Mckinley stands, with the Republican party, for security for old age, adequate medical care, better education, better housing, protection for the rights of labor and aid to agriculture.
