rules, commerce and public works.
On the vital appropriations
committee there will be thirteen
Democrats and eight Republicans.
Under the GOP the split was
Twelve to nine.
The Democrats decided on a
seven to six lineup in the six other
Senate committees: armed serv
ices, expenditures, interior, post
office and civil service, District
•>f Columbia, and finance.
Maintaining the seven-to-six fi
nance committee ratio puzzled
some Republicans who had ex
pected a bigger Democratic edge
to help put through Mr. Truman’s
tax revision program.
The Democrats’ decision to
abandon the seven to six ratio in
the foreign relations committee
came as a surprise. There had
been talk it would be maintained
in the interests of the bi-partisan
foreign policy.
Senator Vandenberg tR.-Mich.),
chairman of the committee during
the GOP-dominated 80th Congress
J and now ranking minority mem
ber, called the decision “regretta
I ble and not particularly impres
! sive in its bi-partisan hospitality.”
Senator Lodge «Mass.>, another
Republican member, declared:
‘‘It’s a pity. It’s certainly too bad.”
The sharpest criticism came
from Senator Morse (R.-Ore.),
whose application for membership
on the .committee was voided by
the decision.
He termed the step “a shocking
repudiation of the bi-partisan for
eign policy in the Senate," and
added:
“It is obvious that the decision
of the Democrats will make it pos
sible for them to play partisan
politics with the issue of war or
peace.”
And a Republican who asked
not to be named said:
“It is the worst thing the Demo-1
crast could have done. They have
picked themselves a fight on for
eign policy. This means that from
now on we Republicans will go af
ter the key boys in the state de
partment, something we have re
frained from doing.”

Both Connally and Senator

steering committee until he is in

fused to say why the seven to six
ratio is being abandoned. One rea

about 17 Democrats, in addition to
those already on the committee,
have applied for membership.

special session.
In general, they conform to tax
proposals made by Governor
Gruening to the 1947 legislature.
The first three — business, in
come and property taxes—are cov
ered also in measures which at
torney general Ralph Rivers dis
closed he has drawn for presenta
tion to the special session.
The four-point program ap
proved by the four legislators here
was presented to them as a recom
mendation of the Junior Chamber
of Commence legislative commit
tee.
The four also said they would
vote for a sales tax “if there is no
other way out” of the Territory’s
financial dilemma. They all, how
ever, expressed disapproval of a
sales tax “in principle.”
The four were Sen. Andrew
Nerland, Republican president of
the 1947 Senate, and Reps. Frank
Angerman, Essie R. Dale and
Warren Taylor.

did not participate in the confer

Taylor declared that “opposi
i -ion of 1945 and 1949 to a general
income tax is pretty well dissi
pated. 1 think that if we start out
with a moderate bill, we can pass
it.” He predicted “a lot of opposi
i tion” to a general property tax.
Angerman expressed the belief
that “anyone doing business in
Alaska should be taxed, and, if
anything, those whose headuar
1 ters are outside of Alaska should
be taxed more heavily than resi
dents of the Territory.”
Transportation companies, such
as shipping firms and major air
lines, are viewed as the leading
potential sources under the pro
posed business taxes.
The proposal on income taxes
on transient workers is for with
holding from wages, payments to
them in the Territory.
In frowning on the sales tax
proposal, Mrs. Dale summed up
the situation: “I may not like
spinach either, but if I’m starving
I'll eat it.”
Lyndon Funk, a farmers’
spokesman, expressed concern at
the tax conference over the possi
ble effect of the proposed general
property tax.
“If I am taxed two per cent on
farm will go on sale tomorrow.”
