Schools, Roads Are Borough Problems Says Judge Gilbert

Freedom begins with local government" emphasized Judge Hubert Gilbert, speaking at the P-TA meeting held last night in the School Multipurpose Room.
 Speaking to a packed roomful of 75 members and guests, the 45- year-old, newly-appointed State Superior Court Judge told how the State government is now overburdened with local prob lems and local projects that have no place in the handling of strict ly Alaska affairs. Foremost is the proper apportioning of tax money for local schools and local roads, which, he pointed out, could be handled more effectively on a local basis.
 Briefly outlining the history of free local government, the former Alaska Senator spoke, in mild and easy manner, of how diff cult it was, in ancient times, in England, France and, Germany, for the monarchs of Europe to allow free and unrestricted gov- ernment on a local level, because these shires, or boroughs, would overburden themselves, exceed local authority, isolate themselves from their neighboring districts, and want to handle all matters of government. With the passage of time, Judge Gilbert showed, it was necessary for the national governments to restrict the free dom and maintain, departments" which would oversee local affairs, but still be tightly bound to the one central ruler.
 In our own country, the Judge related, the township form of local government took shape early in heavily settled areas such as New England, while the County" type was formed to handle local affairs on broader scale in less popu-

Measure of Need

CAMERON THOMPSON, of the Committee for N Economic Development suggests six pragmatic tests to apply to every demand for new increased federal expenditures. Here they are:
 l. Does the request fill real need?
 2 Is it need which only government supply?
 g. Must the need be met by the federal government?
 A. Will spending by the federal government meet the need to degree to make it worthwhile
 ,. If it is extension of an existing program, has the spending on this program been efficient?
 G. Must the spending be done now?
 If these tests were applied, and the honest answers firmly acted upon, we'd a startling drop in the federal budget
 The same tests could be applied to spending bills now in the Alaska Legislature

Committee Demos Rake Presidents
 Economic Policies
By JOE WALL

WASHINGTON, R-The Dem ocratic majority on the Senate House conomic Committee charged yesterday that Eisen- howed Administration policies had stunted the nations economic growth since 1853.
 Describing them as inadequate to meet the nations needs, the Democrats said the policies also had led to unnecessary unemploy- ment and price increases.
 Republicans on the committee fired back that the majority re- port was "unbalanced and evas- i've, and marred by partisanship."
 The majority said it would not support removal of the interest ceiling on long-term bonds = one of the Presidents major requests of the session = unless the Ad- ministration made ''major reforms in fiscal, monetary and debt man. agement policies"
 This the minority report de- scribed as nothing but political blackmail."
 The majority report was pep pered with numerous recommen- dations for alternative policies to those followed by the Admins tration in the last seven years.
 The report summed up the con- mittee members views on a year long $200,000 study of the prob lems of imitation, unemployment and economic growth.

the widespread use of Salk vaccine.
 Although the house-to-house poll is in no way planned as a statistically valid survey, the sum of information taken in the door count will provide a working estimate of the num- Der of persons suffering from arthritis; the number born with birth defects and the number who have been vic tims of paralytic polio. This tabulation will help guide Ma tional Foundation county chap ters in formulating local pro- grams to aid the disabled.
 Mothers making the house. toulouse door count will also seek contributions to the New March of Dimes for its attack on birth defects, arthritis and polio. The New March of Dimes is combating these dis abling disorders with the same effective weapons used to con- quer paralytic polio: medical scientific research to find causes, cures, preventives; pa- tient aid for medical care; and training for medical workers needed to treat the sick and disabled.

lated sections, such as in the South, where large plantations kept the population more spread out
 Pointing out that in the last 100 years, very little change has been made in the size or shape of the thousands of counties, in America, Gilbert said most legislators and Alaska officials feel that an "un- organized borough" type of con- trol would better suit the present needs, because of the inflexiblity of the county system, and the lack of population.
 Of course, the Judge said, form ing an "unorganized borough" would be the same as appointing the State as a local guardian" but committees could later be formed, naming the area repre- sentatives from villages, which could gradually determine the functions, duties and responsibili- ties in regional control, and even tually levy borough taxes.
 In pointing up the need for prompt action, the Judge told how suburban roads are being furn- ished, schools are being main- tained, and other benefits are being financed by the State in heavily populated areas, rich areas, which could we'll afford to handle those functions, while in less populated districts, there is little local development. With local matters in the hands of borough officials, he pointed out, the State could provide for inter-city roads, along with other strictly State government functions.
 He explained how borough can later be defined, and boun- diaries determined, tying together areas economically dependent on each other in mining, farming, school districts and similar interests.

Stand on Sales Tax
Stated by Fenwick
Says 1t Moy Be
Only Answer
For Virginia


State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick Of Arlington said yes
terday that "a sales tax seems
to be the only answer" for
meeting Virginia's revenue
needs. but he did not take q
final stand pending study of the
Governors tax program.
II will not, however, close my
mind to the necessity of meet
ing the needs of the citizens
of this commonwealth" said
Senator Fenwick in a statement
he sent to the Governor.
The Senator, long an advo-
cate Of improved conditions In
the States mental institutions,
increased appropriations for,
teachers salaries and public
health, said:
Il refuse to advocate in one
breath improved facilities and,
in the next, refuse to appro-
pirate necessary money for
these purposes"
A withholding tax, as sug-
gested by some, will not pro-
duce sufficient funds and a
sales tax is the only remaining
source without increasing pres
ent taxes" he added.
Unmet Needs Cited
To increase the income tax,
Senator Fenwick said, would
project Virginia from a medium
income tax State to one of the
highest"
He noted the windfall of two
collections of income tax in one
year under the tax acceleration,

Stanley administration has
been spent and Gov. Almond Isl
now confronted with requests
for $l12 million in recurring
obligations over and above the
appropriations for the last bien-
mum and $89 million of new
money for capital expendi-
lures"
He calculated that a surplus

million Of unmet need" with

cilitieS. fS -
Senator Fenwick said many
arguments can be advanced
against a sales tax, but it must
be remembered that most of
the needs of Virginia that are
unmet are those that will do
the most good for the low in
come people, namely, educa-
ton. mental institutions, well
fare and public health"
Consequently. he said, they
will receive the greatest bene-
fit from such a tax"
Transients Singled Out
There are many transients In.

little or no tax to the commu-
nifty or State" and a sales tax
would force these people tol
make a contribution in accord
ance with what they buy" he
said.
Senator Fenwick said hd
would like to see a sufficient
amount of sales tax revenud
to the localities so thew
could remove either a part OF
all of the personal property
tax" Also, he said, he would
like to see the exemption perj
child increased from 500 to-
5000 for State income tax pur-'
poses.
"All of these suggestions de-,
pend entirely upon the amount,
of money needed to meet thel
essential needs of the Common

he reserved "all comment as to-
my final position until / have

NLRB Rules
Against Area
LoborGroup

BALTIMORE, Jan. / (AP)
The National Labor Relations
Board has told a labor council
it cannot force closed-shop
agreements through secondary
boycotts.
The NLRB told the Baltimore
Building e. Construction Trades
Council yesterday that the So
called standard or stabilizing
agreements used in organizing
building trades are not en-
forceable.
What the ruling means, in
effect, is that the council can
not require a contractor to deal
only with subcontractors who
hire union labor.
The case centered on a 1855
strike by the tile and terrazzo
workers of Selby- -Battersby &
Co., a unionized subcontractor.
As a result, Selby- Battersby
g. Co. and the Associated
Builders g. Contractors brought
suit to overturn q previous
NLRB ruling against them. The
United States Circuit Court of
Appeals upheld them and the
United States Supreme Court
In turn denied the labor coun-
Gil review of that decision.
The builders and contractors
group represents 665 firms in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and
the District of Columbia.

THERE Is NO PARAL-
LEI" he said, "for such a
sequence of mild-or such a
sequence of brief-contrac-
tions, at least during the
past 100 years in our own
country"
DR.. Burns named as causes
for this relative stability
changes that most people
deplore; the growth of cor
porations as compared with
individual proprietorships,
high taxes, big Government
spending, the shift of the
preponderance of our ma
tional income from agricul-
ture to commercial sources.
Also Social Security, which
everyone is for but most of
US don't want to be on-yet.
Better let him explain the
stabilizing influence of cor
porations in his own words:
while profits normally
respond quickly and sharply
to a change in sales and pro-
duction, the behavior of
dividends is tempered by
business judgment. In prac-
tice, dividends tend to move
sluggishly and over a much
narrower range than profits.
Corporations have therefore
come to function increasing
ly as a buffer between the
fluctuations of production
and the flow Of income to
individuals. The ad-
vantages of a stable dividend
especially its bearing on a
firms financial reputation
have gained increasing rec
ignition from business man
ayers" .....-.

The Small FRY RESOLVES
Children Guido GrownuDs

The children of the WASH
ington areas distinguished citi-
zens have some high-minded
New Years resolutions which
their elders might well copy.
Many Of us would be wise
to heed l2-year-old Ann Hart,
daughter Of Senator Hart,
Democrat of Michigan. Ann
has resolved to lose weight.
However, it must be pointed
out that political deal brought
about the resolution.
MY mother made a deal
with me-" Ann reported. "She
said If I lose weigh, ( can 20
to the Democratic Convention
next summer"
Ann said no goal was set.
and her mother is the sole
judge.
Mrs. Hart, who stays trim by
chasing around after her other
seven children, conflded that
8 to 10 pounds might do the
trick.
I'm very happy that she's
eager enough to go to the con-
vention that she is willing to
exercise her willpower. Mrs.
Hart said.
Another youngster with plans
for self-improvement is 13-
year-old Doug Rogers, son of
Attorney General William p
Rogers.
Doug hopes to improve his
school work. help more around
the house, and sharpen Up in
performing his duties as head
keeper of a menagerie of three
parakeets and two dogs.

mind me to feed them" he
confessed.
Mrs. Rogers thought Doug
was a little hard on himself.
Hes a good boy, and a lot
of fun" she said. "One thing
he does not have to resolve
and that is to be more generous.
He saves his money to buy
things for other people"

think up some resolutions.
He strove manfully, and An

Expert Predict T.
By GEORGE KENNEDY.
Happy New Year!

D.
Happy New Year!
Two years ago in this
space the r ambler at
tempted some predictions.
He has Just checked on
them.
The first one, made after
consulting the Highway De-
partment, was that before
the endeof 1858 construction
on the Constitution Avenue
Bridge would be well under
way and that several ap-
proach bridges over park
ways in the neighborhood of
the Lincoln Memorial would
be completed.
AS this is written on the
last day of 1859, work is Just
starting on construction
of the approaches and not a
pile has been driven in the
river.
That suggests an easy New
Years resolution. The Ram
bier is hereby resolving not
to predict anything during
1960-not even the presi-
dental candidates and the
winner.
He is going to turn this
column over to an expert
(who will be somewhat re-
written-and tn at without
his permiSSion).
The expert is Arthur F.
Burns, president of the
American Economic Associa-
tion.
+ DR.. Burns, who was born
in Austria, and is professor
of economies at Columbia,
was chairman of the Presi-
dents Council of Economic
Advisers throughout Presi-
dent Eisenhower's first term.
