Special Tax Incentives
Proposed In Tax Bill To
Stimulate Mining Industry
Special tax incentives designed
to stimulate expansion of the
mining industry are proposed in
the 1951 federal tax bill now
being considered in Washington,
the Alaska Development Board
has been advised.
The House Ways and Means
Committee recently reported fa
vorably a bill which would, among
other things, permit mine owners
to deduct for tax purposes money
spent on development work before
production is begun.
Development expenditures in
curred after actual production
commences already can be de
ducted. Similar expenditures made
preceding that stage of develop
ment have never been deductible
heretofore.
The proposed change would per
mit both classes of expenditures
to be deducted, providing the de
ductions are prorated over the
period during which the ore, re
sulting from the expenditure, is
produced.
The change, if the bill passes
in the form recommended by the
Committee, will be effective for
taxable years beginning after
December 31, 1950.

j Supreme Court
Opens Door To
Prosecution Of
Communist Party
WASHINGTON, (lP) — Wide
spread prosecutions of individual
members of the U. S. Communist
party for plotting violent over
throw of this .government, ap
peared certain today.
The Supreme Court opened the
doors for an extensive program of
such actions when it upheld yes
terday the convictions of 11 top
officials of the party charged with
a conspiracy of force against con
stituted U. S. authority.
In an historic 6-2 decision de
livered by Chief Justice Vinson,
the court held constitutional the
1940 Smith Act outlawing plots
of violence, and said the activities
at the Communist leaders involved
“a clear and present danger” to
the United States.
This was the sort of decision on
.Communist designs which the
Justice Department has been
working for years to get from
the highest tribunal. The court
had never previously ruled di
rectly on the issue.
Nugget Ads Bring Quick Resu^s
Democrats Now Believe
Acheson Political Liability
WASHINGTON, (/P) — An ad
ministration senator said today he
expects Secretary of State Ache
son, currently under Republicans*
fire in the MacArthur inquiry, to
remain in the Truman cabinet

didn’t want to be quoted by name,
supports the administration’s for
eign policies in the clash over
President Truman’s dismissal of
Gen. MacArthur as Pacific com
mander.
But he said he and some other
Democrats who also support Tru
man foreign policies, believe Ache
son is a political liability and
Skelton's Operation 2-Man Job
SANTA MONICA, Calif., (/P)—
Red Skelton, recovering from an
appendix operation, was limited
by his doctors today to one pipe
load of tobacco.
Red came up with a pipe his
enough to hold a can of tobacco.
Of his operation last week, Red
said it was a two-man job: “One
guy knew how to take it out
and the other owned the tools.**
must be replaced before the next
presidential election.
Attorney General J. Howard
McGrath said last Saturday in
Providence, R. I., Acheson may
eventually conclude that oourag
; ecus public service exacts a price
!that is not worth paying.”

iVobody wonders what you’re driving
when you roll by in this one.
In the 1951 line-up, its brand-new
iront-end styling stands out with a
beauty all its own.
\ou’re the proud owner of a Buick—
and the whole world knows it.
But you—at the wheel—enjoy a long
list of differences that go far deeper
than looks.
The ride is different—level and true.
\ou sit the road with special assurance
— because Buick’s torque-tube drive
keeps rear wheels firmly aligned—soft
coil springs on all four wheels soak up
the bumps and bobbles—honest weight
keeps you on a steady keel.
’-wm h HENRY JL TAYLOR, ABC Network, every Monday evening.
The power is different—eager and sure.
Buick’s high-compression Fireball
engine does wonders with fuel —and
no matter what you demand in emer
gency, there’s horsepower to spare.
Handling is different—this car seems
to steer itself on straightaway or curve
—and swings lightly into parking spots
inches shorter than you’d think you
need.
Capping it all, there’s the silken versa
tility of Dynaflow Drive,* that takes
all the tenseness out of driving —
responds to your slightest wish with a
surging swoop of power.
No doubt about it, what you get in a
Buick is far more than just a new car
— it’s a whole new experience in get
ting pleasurably from here to there.
So why not explore this difference?
Come, take a Buick over and find out
how very much satisfaction smart
money can buy.
Equipment, accessories, trim and models are subject to change without notion,
