investigation held during the last
session of the legislature. He
stated the results were good and
healthy and the exodus of state
highway employes who did not fit

election of judicial officials instead
of the present method of appoint

Russia Has Los!
Grip oil Neighbors
By J. M. Roberts
.Associated Press yews Analust j
Soviet Premier Khrushchev al
ways has the answers to any ques- i
tion — even if he has to ignore or i
change the context to make his
reply fit.
He would solve every point of
East-West conflict in one way— 1
by having the rest of the world |
accept the Kremlin view.
He never gives the one definitive j
answer to all of the questions— j
which is for the Soviet Union,
which started the shoving, to quit
Shoving hasn't really done the
Soviet Union much good since the
war.
The cold war isn't over. Nor is
the danger of hot war. The ideo
logical alignment of many coun
ries in Africa, the Middle East.
Asia and Latin America is not yet
determined.
But look at the map.
At the end of the war the Soviet
Union dominated North Korea,
Albania, Yugoslavia and her troops
remained in Austria and Iran. She
still holds a net dominance over
her neighbors as compared with
pre-war days, but has suffered a
loss since 1945.
Red China now dominates North
Korea after the defeat of the
Stalinist effort to expand into
Souh Korea by force.
Soviet troops are gone from j
Austria and Iran.
Albania has shaken off Kremlin j
rule which Red China is trying
to replace — a serious thing for'
the European perimeter of the So
viet sphere, which so dangerously
abuts the Chinese sphere in the
East.
Yugoslavia is one of the leaders
of a group of Asian, African and
Middle Eastern countries which
seeks to play off the Western
sphere against the Eastern, with
the West better able to bear the
resulting cost.
The most important result of the
cold war has been to shove Western
Europe more closely together than
any historical philosopher would
have predicted 15 years ago.
The Communists have believed
the balance of power was shifting
there way. But has it?
It seems far more likely that a
new center of power, now going
through some pretty rough birth
pangs but nevertheless sufficient
ly recognizable to cause the Com
munists great worry, will arise in
Europe.
Europe and the United States in
partnership show promise of being
able to largely control the flow
of the world’s raw materials and
the trade in its manufactured
goods, provided only that they are
willing to pay the cost of all-out
economic and political war.
It was Samuel Johnson who ob
served, “Nothing flatters a man a
much as the happiness of his wife
he is always proud of himself a
the source of it.”

111KI ST \ I I INCOME TAX
JtJNKAU T - Alaska’s financial
condition would permit the state
to absorb the loss of any revenue
eccurrin if Congress reduced the
federal income tax. Gov. Win.
Egan said yesterday.
Because Alaska's net income tax
is based on the amount of federal
income taxes paid, any reduction
in the federal levy would mean an
automatic reduction in state in
come taxes.
Egan said he believes a cut in
federal income taxes seems “virtu
ally certain" this year or next.
“This possibility has been given
careful consideration in the pre
paration of state state budget re
quests." Egan said.
“We have made allowance for it
and I am confident that a cut in
taxes on the federal level and the
subsequent reduction in state
revenue can be absorbed without
need for increased state taxes.’’
"D. DEDUCTION" . . .
DETROIT dp* — Someone who
signed himself “D. Deduction’’
wrote to the city regarding De
troit's one per cent income tax:
“You ask on the withholding
form what proportion of my work
is done in Detroit.
“I was all set to fill in 100 per
cent. But I had a long talk with
my boss about my work.
“He made it very clear that as
far as he can see I have not done
a lick of work all year.
“So I have put down ‘zero’ on
my withholding statement. If you
want to argue, argue with him.”

In Official Script
MOSCOW (if) - The Id American
editors who interview Soviet Pre
mier- Khrushchev last Friday com
plained that the Russians mode
numerous changes in editim. the
official transcript of the proceed
ings. “Yes” even came out “No.”
At one point during the inter
view. Khrushchev asked the Amer
icans, all members of the American
Society of Newspaper Editors:
"Were you restricted in any v ay
during your tour of the Soviet
Union?”
"Yes." they replied with one
voice.
“No," was the way the answer
came in the transcript they re
ceived Monday.
The questions were written,
then read aloud at the Kremlin
session. The Americans said they
believed the questions were re
phrased to fit into the Communist
party line when they appear in
the party newspaper Pravda to
day.
The Americans said they found
the average Russian citizen woe
fully lacking in information of the
West. They said they found virtu
ally no one who had eve: ; card
of the Telstar commw.icat; ms
satellite, only a few who had heard
of the Soviet nuclear test scries
last fall and almost no one who
knew that the United States drop
ped the first two atomic bombs
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki while
at war with Japan. Instead, the
editors said, many Russians, be
lieve the United States was just
testing them on two peaceful
cities.
