OPS Opposes Rate
Increases Asked
By Alaska Steam
WASHINGTON, (/P) — (Freight
rate increases proposed for the
Alaska Steamship Company would
“have a very great bearing upon
the stablization program in its
relation to Alaska,” the Office of
Price Stabilization said yester
day.
OPS representatives, appearing
before the Federal Maritime
Board, gave this as one of the
two reasons the agency opposes
the rate hike. The OPS also feels
the increases would be passed on
to the consumer, spokesmen said.
The steamship company told -the
board rates must be increased to
match increased wage and operat
ing costs.
“Without the benefit of in
creased rates,” the company said,
“the carrier’s property will ibe
subjected to public use without
compensation.”
Zzyzz Is Last Name In
L.A. Telephone Directory
LOS ANGELES, (/P)—If oddest-!
sounding names are any criterion
of which of the two cities is the
most cosmopolitan, then New
York can now take a back seat
to Los Angeles.
That is, if you can base such
a distinction on last names ap
pearing in current telephone di
rectories. In New York it’s a com
paratively common John Zyzneski.
But in Los Angeles (you pro
nounce it) it’s: Ricardo Zzyzz.

$50 License Tax
on Fishermen Held
Unconstitutional
SAN FRANCISCO, (JP) — In a
two-to-one decision, the U. S.
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
held unconstitutional Monday a
$50 license tax imposed on non
resident fishermen by the Alaska
Legislature in 1940.
The court ruled that a tax scale
of $50 for non-residents and $5
for residents was discriminatory
and “discouraged, hampered and
burdened interstate commerce.”
The action was brought by the
Alaska Fishermen’s Union repre
senting some 32,000 members re
siding in Washington, Oregon and
California.
They lost an attempt on April
18, 1950, to have the tax set aside
when U. S. District Judge George
W. Folta, sitting at Anchorage,
ruled the tax law valid and dis
missed the fishermen’s complaint.
In a second opinion, the court
unanimously reversed Judge Fol
ta’s order of June 7, 1949, in
which he denied an injunction
against the tax to Pacific Ameri
can Fisheries.
Judge Folta, sitting at Juneau,
issued a summary judgment
against the company, which em
ployed some 400 non - resident
fishermen. The fisheries had
claimed the Alaska Commissioner
of Taxation and his agents had
used “force, threats and coercion”
to collect the license tax.
