Truman Declares 15%
Tax Cut Impossible
For Any President
WASHINGTON, (JP)—President
Truman said Thursday the steel
strike is creating a serious situ*
ation, Gen. Eisenhower is still
a friend of his and no President
can cut taxes 15 percent.
■
Truman raced through those
subjects—and a few other—at his
news conference. He said that he
isn’t running lor office, so he can
give the facts about cutting taxes.
Actually, he said, they ought to
be increased in order to meet
the deficit.
Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio
said Wednesday he would put in
a 15 percent tax cut if he became
President.
Eisenho*wer has not gone as far
as Taft in promising a tax reduc
tion but he has said a reduction
would be possible in about two
years.

For Column Criticism

Kepner Knows
Of No Plan To
44Abandon Alaska”
(The Anchorage Times)
Lt. Gen. William E. Kepner,
commanding general of the Alas
kan Command, recently reiterated
that Alaska would be defended,
in replying to an Anchorage
Times request for comment on a
recently published statement in
the Wall Street Journal.
In the June 6 issue of the Pa
cific Coast edition of the Journal
an item from the publication’s
Washington bureau declared that
the U.S. plans to abandon Alaska
if Russia ever attacks there.
“Deciding it can’t be defended,
the military will station only a
few regiments and fighter wings
in the area,” the article stated.
“Present strategy would let the
Reds grab western Alaska and
most of the Aleutians; Nome
would fall last. The U<S. would
retreat, but drub the Soviets from
the air to keep them from fully
using their new bases,” the arti
cle . continued.
“But this harrying would be
difficult against MIGs or newer
Red fighters. With air bases,
weather and refueling stations,
the Soviets could still bomb the
northwestern U.S. with short
range but fast jet bombers.
“Alaska’s loss would mean oth
er headaches: A poorer U.S. radar
net to warn of Russian raids, few
er advanced fighter bases for in
tercepting long-distance raiders,”
the article concluded.
As he has on other occasions,
Kepner asserted that the territory
would be defended.
“Since the strategy for the de
fense of Alaska is determined by
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I cannot
comment on the content of this
article except to say that I know
of no plan to abandon Alaska,”
the general stated.
“I do know of a plan to defend
Alaska. I am so directed and will
.do so to the best of my ability.”
