the world to overthrow the gov
ernment of the United States, the
government of France, th govern
ment of Italy or, indeed any gov
ernment which is not already
communistic." The principel argu
ment against denying the com
munists political party status is
that this would drive them under
ground. They already are operat
ing both underground and above
ground.
Requiring communists to regis
ter as agents of a foreign power,
as proposed in a bill introduced
by Congressmen Mundt, would be
a wise move.

May Extend
Interim Shipping
Plan Three Years
(By Charles D. Watkins)
<(/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, i/P)—Plans for
a permanent steamship service to
Alaska may not reach Congress
until after March 25.
Rep. Tollefson <R.-Wash.). mem
ber of a sub-committee, told a re
porter he did not expect the plan
to be submitted by the maritime
commission until after that date.
He said quarterly reports of
steamship companies operating
the present temporary service to
Alaska will not be available until
then and the commission wants to
study them before submitting its
plan.
Congress authorized the present
interim service with government
ships until June 30. It was hoped
a permanent plan would have
boon approved by then.
Tollefson said the maritime
commission and the interior de
partment have discussed a perm
anent solution.
The interior department pro
posed a two-year extension of the
interim service, the allocation of
Alaskan territory to three ship
companies and a requirement that
nnv company operating in the
Alaska service be required to get
-> c°rt:ficate of convenience and
necessity from the commission.
TTnder this plan one company
would be given the right to oper
+o Southeast Alaska, another
♦o Southwest Alaska and the third
to serve the smaller ports. All
would be given the right to carry
military cargo.
“I found the commission did not
favor the interior department’s
suggestions,” Tollefson said, “ex
cent as to the requirements that
all companies operating in the
service get certificates of conven
ience and necessity.
“The commission also felt that
if the interim law is extended it
should be for three years, to give
the operating companies full op
portunity to carry out their
plans.”
Tollefson said the requirement
that operators be required to get
certificates of convenience and
necessity would stabilize the trade
and prevent “fly by nighters”
from trying to get some of the
business.
