Judge Pratt Issues
Injunction Against
Property Tax Law
(Continued from Page One)
Territorial property tax law on
the basts of 15 points charging
the law is faulty and inconsistent
with U. S. statutes and the Alaska
Organic Act.
Faulkher opened the motion
for the temporary injunction with
the allegation that the law is in
valid and only an injunction
would save the plaintiff irrepar
able injury. He said that no ade
quate statute exists providing re
covery of taxes illegally collect
ed, other than discretionary power
of the court. He further said that
in the event of successful tax re
covery, the statutes fail to pro
vide proportionate interest on the
recovered amounts.
Faulkner also said recovery of
taxes illegally collected would be
exceedingly difficult in view of
the Territory’s current insolvency.
Atty. Gen. Gerald Williams
claimed invalidity of the tax act
was not sufficient ground for a
temporary injunction. He denied
the ‘irreparable injury” charge
and said Territorial law adequate
ly provides for payment of taxes
collected under protest.
Williams also denied insolvency
of the Territory, saying the tem
porary lack of fluid funds is not
the same as insolvency.
Complaints against the new
law charge it lacks uniformity in

Resolution

WASHINGTON, (/P)—The Sen
ate labor committee Saturday
pigeon-holed a resolution asking
that President Truman invoke the
Taft-Hartley law to restore full
coal production.
A motion to postpone action in
definitely was approved 6-5.
Senator Aiken (R.-Vt.), who
was on the losing side, said the
decision amounted to killing the
resolution.
But Sesator Elbert D. Thomas
(D.-Utah-, the committee chair
man, and Humphrey <D.-'Minn -
disagreed.
Humphrey argued that action
should be deferred because “ne
| gotiations are underway” look
ing toward a settlement of the
| coal dispute.
Maneuvers toward tnat possi
bility are underway. Their results
may be to get soft coal workers
back to work, at least part time,
and perhaps help John L. Lewis
in his legal complications.

taxpayers living outside munici

and self-contradictory.”

Antonio, Texas.
As the long Arctic night called
a temporary halt to the gigantic
search armada lasf night, officials
anxiously awaited word from a i
ground party sent to investigate a
lone clue to the plane’s where
abouts.
It came from a forest ranger in
an almost inaccessible spot ap
proximately 40 miles to the south- j
-A ■ . . * ’
west.
The ranger said he saw a large
plane overhead late Thursday,
then heard an earth-shaking thud,
an explosion and saw billowing
clouds of smoke.
Air commodore Martin Costel
lo of the Royal Canadian Air
Force, search coordinator here,
described the report as the “most
highly probable” yet received.
Parachute crews stayed ready
for an immediate take-off should
the ground crew report back it J
I has found the craft.
I Nearly 50 U. S. and Canadian
planes scoured the 1300-mile long
search area yesterday from Great I
Falls, Mont., to Snag. Thirty ad
ditional planes were to be thrown
into the search today from Great
Falls where 28-below-zero wea
ther grounded all but a half dozen
planes yesterday.
U. S. airmen, flying out of the
Montana base, are concentrating
on the 800-mile long stretch to
Fort Nelson, B. C. Canadian
planes cover the remaining 500
mile distance to Snag.
Air force officers estimated
that “Operation Mike” already in
volves more than 5.000 men at
Great Falls and another 2,000 men
in Canadian and Yukon Territory
bases.
The vast armada not only must
battle the sub-zero cold which
penetrates both men and ma
chines, but also must conduct its
operations within a span of about
seven hours o$ daylight each day.
Fred—Too bad about old Jones
being convicted of embezzlement.
Did he take his misfortune like a
man?
Ned—Exactly. He blamed the
whole thing on his wife.
