Alaska Asks U. s. High Court for Fish Trap Ban

JUNEAU, R1Alaska has asked the U. S. Supreme Court to affirm a District Court judgment uphold ing state ban on the use of fish traps.
 The appeal was made in brief filed before the high court in preparation for arguments next Tuesday in the 1859 case involv- ing use of the gear by three Southeastern Indian villages.
 The brief, signed by Alaska Atty. Gen. Ralph E. Moody and three associate lawyers for the state, asked the Supreme Court ito finally lay to rest a contro- versy which by it's nature con- tinues to grow with each passing day"
 The case was brought before the Supreme Court by the villages of Angoon, Metlakatla and Rake, after former District Judge Ray mond Kelly of Juneau had ruled last year against continued use of traps in salmon fishing.
 However, the three villages were able to operate II traps dur ing the 1859 season under a Sup reme Court injunction issued pending final decision on appeal.

Today, Friday 18th, Heralds Good News For US. Taxpayer

PORTLAND = Friday, the 18th, has it's good side this year.
 It makes the first day of 1860 that the average American citizen can start calling his earnings his own.
 To explain - the earnings of MT. Average American up until May 18th just about equal his an- nual local, state and federal tax payments.
 If his total 1860 tax bill was withheld before his take-home pay started, tax payments would have taken all wages earned dur, ing the past four months and 13 days.
 This is on authority of the Free dom Foundation, which sane tions the National Tax Freedom Holiday originated by a Florida man in 1948.
 If there is any ill omen, it is that the holiday was first observed on April 27th. During the past 12 years, the ever-increasing tax bur- den has added 16 days to the aver age Americans tax-work debt.

1858 Republican primary for party control
From all Indications this is not the case.
1t is true that such fight was strong
possibility had General Wedemeyer stayed in
the race for the Republican nomination to
Congress. The local group which helped per-
suade the General to run got several of its
members to file for the delegation to the state
convention, These included James e. Bacon,
jr, Henry K MeTIarg, III, Hal Laclxey and
couple of others who have since denied they
agreed to be on such a slate.
The General withdrew several days after
he had filed, thereby eliminating the star
around whom a group might have rallied in
order to show the strength of a segment of
the Republican Party that has been silent
politically since the spring of 1858. The Wed,
emeyer candidates stayed in the race, anyway,
for various personal reasons. There are no
indications, however, that any concentrated
effort viii be made to form a solid "anti"

issue around which such block could agree
and actually no political enemy to 60 after.
With 10 candidates in the field for seven
ene-day convention seats in Baltimore this
summer, there are bound to be some disap-
pointed Republican leaders. But it seems that
all of them are completely aware of the risks
involved and are willing to be in the race for

1T would be too bad the county council in determining
what action it will take on the highly significant con-
fcts of interest committee report decides place great
deal of credence what the erstwhe county manager
M. L. Reese had to say the subject.
Reese with characteristic forthrghtness warned dur
ing his last few days here that the suggested commission
ethical standards "could carry like the Mccarthy
committee did, And he gave the impression while max
ing the assertion that he thought he was making rather
telling point with his declaration He did not of course
point out that appointing authority under present pro-
cedure at city, county, state and federal levels carry
on as the Mccarthy committee did If it wants to but that
most OF them prefer not to behave in such And
the excouny manager didn't point out why he thought
this particular group might be inclined engage in
McCarthyke activity than do already existing groups
with unlimited authority to inquire nte the backgrounds
of possible appointees.
Mr.. Reese believes apparently, that persons seeking
public appointment should not be required to divulge to
the public those portions of their background facets of
their financial interest that might conflict with their ap-
pontment to the job in question We could not disagree
more. Obviously the public doesn't give heot if per-

On vinson Park

May I be numbered among
those In favor of retaining the
Vinson property as a. public
park. How nice it would be to
be able to relax for just a while
amid the natural beauty while
we are spending an otherwise
hectic day in the midst of build
ings, traffic and parking lots.
1t would not only be a haven
for tired people, but what of
the wildlife? The face of a child
watching the antics of a
squirrel Is a Joy to behold. The
beautiful music of the song
birds would be lost if their
home were destroyed.
Wouldn't it be better to give
the park idea a trial, at least?
1t would be too late for regrets
when the bulldozers, in the
name of progress, begin their
destruction for the sake of no
more than 35 or 40 parking
spaces-which might be UNI
necessary, after all.
