Alaska Steamship
Promises Service;
Reduced Rates
FAIRBANKS, (/P) — Promises
came in pairs yesterday to Alas
kans, fretful over war-deteriorat
ed transportation services, when
two leaders in services vital to the
Territory spoke of improvements
and better rates.
“We don’t do business anywhere
else and we value the Alaskan
business,” said L. W. Baker, gen
eral manager of the Alaska Steam
ship company, who came here
with a view to reopening the
Alaska line’s local office, aban
doned during the war.
He asked Alaskans to “be pa
tient a little while longer—give
the company credit for enough
common sense to take an interest
in reducing rates and improving
service.”
He called the new rate structure
set up under the maritime com
mission an interim operation plan
and said it was “only an experi
ment. If we find it’s too high
shouldn’t we be expected to take
the initiative in reducing it?”
At the same time Col. John P.
Johnson, manager of the Alaska
Railroad, said a special survey
board headed by former Maj.
Gen. Carl A. Gray, Jr., wartime
chief of the army railway service
board, would arrive next week. It
will check on the necessity of a
projected $34,000,000 Alaska Rail
road rehabilitation program. John
son also announced plans to inau
gurate a new streamliner service
between Anchorage and Fair
banks in mid-August.

House Overrides
Truman's Veto Of
Income Tax Bill
(Continued From Page One
“I am unequivocally committed
to the right kind of tax reduction
at the right time.”
“The right kind of tax reduc
tion must be based upon a careful
consideration of all elements of
our tax structure,” he added.
Just before the House began its
roll call on whether to override
the President’s veto. Chairman
Knutson (R.-Minn.) of the House
ways and means committee, au
thor of the bill, told his colleagues:
“It is highly probable, if this
bill is killed, that another effort
will be made to pass it. The issue
will be submitted to that great
tribunal—the American people—
in 1948, and we will let them de
cide whether they want tax re
duction.”
Mr. Truman said “there has
been no lessening of the need to
make substantial payments on the
public debt.”
