TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION
FORMED
We are Alaskans. We are business, professional
men, laborers, fishermen, cannery workers,
miners and men and women who are interested
in the future of Alaska.
We are strictly non-partisan and interested only
in the most efficient government at the lowest
possible cost.
The Territorial Taxpayers Association has been
formed to:
1. Study and present in plain language sta
tistical information on governmental ex
i
penditures and Alaska’s basic tax struc
ture.
«
2. Advocate tax laws which will create a
favorable “climate” for new industry
coming into the Territory.
3. Support taxation programs which will
foster the growth and development of
Alaskan industry.
4. Protest legislation designed to destroy
present tax resources.
5. Remove divisional differences from plan
ning for Alaska's taxation program.
6. Formulate plans for equitable tax distri
bution consistent with the economic de
velopment of Alaska.
Our organization is Territorial wide. We wel
come suggestions which will help us to carry
out our program.

had been held a prisoner.
Consulate officials, however, j
claimed she was trying to commit
suicide and was under great ner
vous tension because of the ac
tions of the White Russian anti
communists and American offi
cials.
The U. S. demand for Lomakin’s i
ouster was the latest in a series
of charges and counter-charges in
the case between Washington and
Moscow.
Meanwhile, Dr. Grant Penoyer,
hospital resident physician, said
Mrs. Kosenkina, who suffered
multiple fractures and internal!
injuries in her plunge, is improv
ing right along.”
NEW YORK, (/P)—Jacob M. Lo
makin, Soviet consul general,
booked passage on the liner
Stockholm about six weeks ago, a
Swedish-American line official
said today.
Lomakin, his wife and their two
children will occupy a $1,400
suite on the Stockholm, the line
official said.
The discredited consul general
spent the week end on Long Is
land. Vice consul Zot I. Chepurn
ykn said he was expected to re
I turn later today.
Asked earlier whether Loma
kin definitely would return to
Russia, Chepurnykn said, “I can
not tell you.”
Chiefs Of Staff In
Secret Meeting
WASHINGTON, </P>—'The na
tion’s top military commanders
returned to their desks today af
ter a second closely guarded hud
dle away from Washington.
As in the case of his March ses- i
sion of the joint chiefs of staff at
Key West, Fla.; secretary of de
fense Forrestal delayed any im
mediate word of decisions reach
ed over the weekend at Newport,
R. I. The two-day meeting of the
naval war college there closed
yesterday in the same tight-lipped
secrecy that surrounded it ever
since the first announcement that
it would be held.
Forrestal and his uniformed
aides flew back to Washington
late last night, but newsmen were
told in advance that no one would
have anything to say.
While these top-secret meetings
were in progress, however, the air
force let it be known that one of
the things it would like to have
most of all is a guided missile
capable of carrying an atom
bomb to a target 5,000 miles away
—and faster than the speed of
sound.
Such a weapon was labeled a
must in the final report of Gen.
Carl Spaatz, who turned over his
job as air force chief of staff to
Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg several
weeks ago.
Spaatz said that since there is
no existing defense against a wea
pon of this type the United States
Picket Tarred
And Feathered
HOLDEN, Mo. OP)—A man was
grabbed out of a picket line and
was tarred and feathered Friday
night, marshal Paul Snare said.
The victim was Norman W.
Bailey, about 24, of Holden. Six
of the Holden Mill and Elevator
company’s 33 employees have
been on strike since Wednesday
night. Bailey was considered a
leader of the strike movement,
Snare said.
The marshal said Bailey did not
recognize his assailants. One of
the marshal’s six deputies said
they were white men with black
ened faces. *
Sheriff Alex Nichols at War
rensburg, 20 miles east of here,
said Bailey’s brother, Clarence
Bailey, told him they were not
ready to sign a complaint. The
sheriff said he would take no ac
tion until a complaint is signed.
WASHINGTON, (/P)—1The U. S.
air force said Friday that Cpl.
Herbert Lee Linville, son of Mr.
and Mrs. O. M. Linville, Valrico,
Fla., was drowned in Alaska on
August 15. No other details were
immediately available. His par
ents have been notified.
I
must be the first to develop it.
■ He said it has been a prime ob
jective ever since the guided mis
siles program was launched. But
he gave no hint what, if any,
' progress has been made.
