Zeus lor Claims
Associated Press I
Story Misleading
“The story reported by the As
sociated Press out of Washington,
D. C., December 2, purporting
that the Alaska Steamship Com
pany complained about competi
tion in the Alaska trade is most
misleading,” Admiral F. A. Zeus
ler, executive assistant to the pres
ident of the company stated in
Seattle this week.
“The Alaska Steamship com
pany is not opposed to fair com
petition. But when by tonnage
guarantees the government in-'
duces a carrier to come in and |
serve exclusively the two major j
revenue ports of the Alaska trade
to the detriment of the rest of the i
Territory—that we consider un- j
fair competition and unwarranted!
government interference in pri- \
vate industry,” he said.
“Since the government-freight
subsidized carrier’s rates are the
same as The Alaska’s Lines,” that
is not the consideration.” Zeusler
I pointed out.
“The Alaska Steamship com
pany is offering complete trans
! portation service to Alaska gener
ally,” he stated. “And we would
welcome competition on that basis
or any other fair basis.
“Insofar as the government car
goes are concerned, they should
be distributed among the carriers
on the basis of total number of
voyages in the Alaska trade. That
is indicative of the comparative
service actually given the Terri
tory by the respective compan
ies,” he said.
According to a government re
port, from January 1, 1949 through
September 30. The Alaska Line
made 91 voyages to Alaska and
the tonnage-subsidized line only
13.
“Despite this differential,” Zeus
ler stated, “that line received
practically the same government
tonnage as we—out of all propor
tion to the service rendered Alas
i ka.
“In the interests of fairness be
tween carriers and in considera
tion of the future development of
the Territory, this inequality
should be corrected immediately,”
he declared.

Truman Must Have
More Taxes To
Balauee Budget
KEY WEST, Fla. (fl*)—Budget
director Frank Pace said after a
conference with president Tru
man today he saw no prospect of
a balanced budget next year with
out an increase in taxes.
Pace told a news conference:
“The probability of a balanced
budget in 1951 is not great—lack
ing new taxes.”
Pace said he was not aware
whether Mr. Truman will ask
higher taxes in his “state of the
union message.”
The administation’s budget,
which goes to congress in Janu
ary, this made clear, will require
continued deficit financing unless
new taxes are levied.
Mr. Truman has said he saw no
way of wiping out the prospec
tive deficit for this fiscal year of
$5,500,000,000 without higher tax
es.
He is being urged to recom
mend increased levies on corpor
ate profits.
Pace flew here to discuss with
the president the prospective bud
gets for the defense department,
“large scale policy matters per
taining to foreign aid program”,
expenditures for the next year
and the budget for the interior de
partment, including the big re
clamation projects.
Pace would not forecast the size
of the new budget—saying a final
but he said it would not exceed
figure had not been arrived at—
$45,500,000,000 compared with a
revised budget of $43,500,000,000
for the current fiscal year.
LOU CORNWELL DOESN'T
BELIEVE HER GOOD LUCK
“I don’t believe it, you’re kid
ding me,” gasped Lou Cornwell
when she learned she had won
one of the twelve turkeys given
away by the Nome Hardware, and
U S. Mercantile, on their daily
drawing.
But we weren’t kidding. Mrs.
Cornwell was one of the lucky
ones to receive a turkey with No.
8328. Earle Coulthard was a lucky
i winner with No. 5397. There are
j still three unclaimed numbers.
No. 4158, No. 4091, and No. 601
being held for three lucky people.
Seven more people are going to
be pleasantly surprised when they
receive their free Christmas tur
key from the Nome Hardware.
