OLD-TIMER PASSES ON
IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, (/P>— Funeral serv
ices for John Charles Thomas, 68,
retired Alaska hardware store
proprietor, were held Saturday.
He died Thursday after a long ill
ness.
Thomas, a native of England,
came to the United States in 1906,
settling first in Pennsylvania and
later in Spokane. He went to Jun
eau, in 1912 and was a hardware
store employee until 1917 when
he joined the W. P. Mills Corp.,
and moved to Sitka. In 1927 he re
turned to Juneau and operated his
own store, the Thomas Hardware
Store, until he retired and came
to Seattle three years ago.
Mrs. Tucker and son from St.
Michael, are in town for a few
days for dental work.

Truman Gives Up
Multi-Billion Tax
Increase Request
(Continued from Page One>
defense and foreign aid. ‘‘Nothing
could represent greater economic
folly,” he said.
Mr. Truman urged businessmen
to lower prices where possible, to
keep sales and production high.
But don’t cut wa^es in order to re
duce prices, he advised; that crip
ples the worker’s buying power
and everyone gets hurt.
These were his requests to Con
gress—they are of ‘‘vital import
ance,” he said:
1. Shun any major tax boost.
Repeal the transportation tax, ex
cept on passengers, liberalize the
carry-over of losses by corpora
tions. Raise estate and gift levies.
2. Lengthen the time limit for
repayment of loans made to busi
ness by the reconstruction finance
corporation.
3. Launch a study of the invest
ment and development needed for
an expansion of the economy.
4. Adopt “an improved pro
gram’’ of farm income supports.
(Congress is badly split on the
farm program; House Democrats
will discuss a stand tomorrow*.
5. Raise the minimum wage
from 40 cents an hour to at least
75 cents. Broaden its coverage.
(Such legislation is still in com
mittee on Capitol Hill*.
6. Bring more industries under
unemployment compensation. In
crease the benefits. Lengthen the
period of idleness covered.
7. Extend for one year—to July
25. 1950—the veterans’ readjust
ment allowances, or so-called “52
20” program. This program got
its nickname from the provision
for unemployment pay to veterans
at the rate of S20 a week for a
maximum of 52 weeks.
8. Raise social security benefits.
Extend coverage to more persons.
Increase direct public aid grants.
(A social security bill may come
from the House ways and means
committee in about a week*.
9. Let federal agencies speed
the advance planning of federal
works and acquire sites. Help
States and localities to do the
same.
10. Provide technical aid to de
velop the world’s backward areas
and encourage foreign investment.
11. Restore the reciprocal trade
agreements act, to bolster world
commerce. (The House has passed
such a bill; a Senate fight awaits).
In general, the message was cal
culated to reassure business. No
where was there mention of the
array of anti-inflation pow ers
which Mr. Truman demanded of
Congress in his January report—
demands which Congress has
largely ignored.
Now dead for certain, they in
cluded standby price and wage
control authority; allocation of
scarce materials; extension of
bank credit controls and install
ment-plan buying curbs; regula
tion of grain nad other commodity
exchanges to curb inflation. Nei
ther was there mention of the
government building industrial
plants when private capital fails
to do so.
