Republicans May Block
Appointment of Jessup
To The United Nations
WASHINGTON, (/P)—A retired
Far Eastern army intelligence of
ficer testified yesterday that early
test year ambassador - at - large
Philip C. Jessup told him U. S.
recognition of Communist China
was imminent.
• Brig. Gen. Louis J. Fortier said
*the conversation took place in
Tokyo in January 1950, and
quoted Jessup as saying that re
cognition would not mean ap
proval of the nature or character
of the Red regime.
Fortier testified at a hearing of
the Senate Internal Security sub
committee which is probing for
any subversive influence on U.S.
policies in the Pacific.
Jessup was renominated about
a week ago by President Truman
to be a U.S. delegate to the United
Nations. Some Republican Senat
ors have indicated they may try j
to block the appointment.
Senator McCarthy (R-Wis>, who
has accused Jessup of having “an
affinity for communist causes,”
already has asked to be heard on
the nomination. Jessup has denied
McCarthy’s charge.

Alaska Leads Nation In
Growth of Population
And Tax Payments
Alaska leads all the states of
the nation not only in growth of
population — as demonstrated by
the 1950 census—but also in the
increase of tax payments to the
federal treasury, the Alaska De
velopment Board was advised by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Internal Revenue collections in
Alaska in the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1951 were 122.8 per cent
greater than in the previous year,
the Bureau reported. Collections
of corporation income and profits
taxes, individual income and em
ployment taxes and miscellaneous
internal revenues in the Territory
totaled $38,762,327.11 as compared
with $17,393,930.93 in the pre
vious year, the Development
Board was advised.
The increase of 122.8 percent in
a single year compares with the
nation-wide average increase of
but 29.5 pe^ cent. Delaware, the
state showing the greatest increase
in total internal revenue collec
tions, marked up a 58.9 per cent
advance during the year. Alaska’s
increase, therefore, was more than
twice as great as that of the
leading state.
The large increase in collections
in the Territory was accounted far
mainly by individual income and
employment tax collections which
went up in the single year from
$14,-349,235.78 to $34,940,189.29.
This increase of 143.5 per cent
was not even approached by any
state.
Alaska’s citizens who — includ
ing the military—comprise only
.085 per cent of the nation’s pap
ulation, last year contributed .13
per cent of total individual income
and employment tax collections
by the United States.
Collections of corporation in
come and profit taxes in Alaska
amounted to $1,954,671.84 in the
year, an increase of 34.9 per cent
over fiscal 1950. Miscellaneous in
ternal revenue collections totalled
$1,867,465.98, an increase of 17.1
per cent. Most of the corporations
operating in Alaska, the Develop
ment Board noted, make their tax
returns in outside states and the
amounts thus are not reflected in
the Alaska totals. If they were,
the Board estimated, total inter
nal revenue collections from Al
aska would be found to be in ex
cess of $50,000,000 per year.

furtherance of which drive the
President of the United States has
issued a proclamation in the fol
lowing terms:
“WHEREAS the people of the
United States and the people of
many other countries are striving
together through the United Na
tions to put down unprovoked and
lawless aggression in Korea; and
‘WHEREAS millions of men,
women and children in Korea
have been driven from their
homes and are suffering griev
ously from this wanton aggression
and
“WHEREAS American Relief for
Korea, Incorporated, has been es
tablished by many civic, labor,
and church groups as a national
organization to assist in the nation
wide voluntary collection of cloth
ing and kindred supplies for ship
ment to Korea and
“WHEREAS the Congress of the
United States by Joint Resolution
has expressed deep sympathy for
the plight of the unfortunate Kor
ean refugees and, in recognition
of their desperate condition, has
expressed the hope and expecta
tion that all Americans will re
spond generously to the appeals
of American Relief for Korea, In
corporated, and has authorized the
President to set aside a period of
time for intensive effort to meet
these appeals:
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, HAR
RY S. TRUMAN, President of the
United States of America, do here
by set aside and proclaim the
month of September, 1951, as a
special period of intensive effort
during the course of which, as an
additional sincere and tangible
gesture of American friendship
and sympathy, the clothing collec
tion appeal of American Relief
for Korea, Incorporated, may re
ceive the utmost support of all
Americans. I call upon our citi
zens, our schools, our churches,
and all our civic and patriotic or-i
ganizations to respond promptly
and bountifully to the appeals of
American Relief for Korea, Incor
porated, and its associated agen
cies, for clothing and kindred sup
plies for the people of Korea”; *
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH
W. KEHOE, Acting Governor of
Alaska, commend said appeal to
all Alaskans and urge a generous
response thereto; and I request
all newspapers to give publicity to
this proclamation, and all radio
stations to broadcast it so that it *
may come to the attention of all
Alaskans.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto subscribed my hand and
caused the Seal of the Territory
of Alaska to be affixed.
DONE at Juneau, Alaska, this
17th da}r of September in the year
of our Lord nineteen hundred and
fifty-one.

Oil Struck On Toledo Farm
But Owner Is Not Happy
TOLEDO, (fP)—Henry Weiss, a
farmer of suburban Toledo, had
two acres under oil Monday night,
but he wasn’t doing any celebrat
ing.
The sticky fluid came from a
break in an 8-inch pipeline that
runs underneath Weiss’ six-acre
horse farm. Control valves in the
Toledo area were turned off, but
not before oil covered parts of
Weiss’ farm to a depth of two
feet.
