Senate Has Money
Worries While House
Takes Vacation
WASHINGTON. Aug. 27—(/P—The
Senate, with one morose eye cocked
across the capltol to an empty House
Chamber, buckled down to work on
taxes and other ‘must" legislation
today.
The House is on a three week va
cation. It has already finished up
with major legislative items. The
work it has left can’t be done until
the Senate completes action on its
version of a bill to provide billions
in military and economic aid to
free nations; a huge appropriation
bill to finance the Defense Depart
ment; and the measure to boost in
come. corporation, excise and other
taxes by about $7,000,000,000 or less.
The tax-writing Senate Finance
Committee is giving a calculating
look to tax-exempt earnings of r..
variety of cooperatives and mutual
companies.
Committee Chairman George <D
GA) said: “There is no excuse'for
not taxing these sources to some j
extent.” He said he thinks a ma
jority of his committee agrees with
him.
He said there has been some talk
of tapping undistributed earnings
of cooperatives and mutual com
panies by as much as $100,000,000.

Legion Auxiliary
Head Speaks at
Banquet Sunday
Mrs. Reed, Nafl. Presi
dent, Asks Firm Stand
Against Communism
Mrs. Willis C. Reed, national
president of the American Legion ■
Auxiliary, last night voiced the
| same belief in a need for firm
! ness at the conference table “if
the sacrifices of the Korean War
are to bring more secure peace"
i expressed by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey when he spoke at the Ju
neau Chamber of Commerce meet
i ing.
Mrs. Reed, who arrived in Jun
: eau on. the S. S. Alaska Saturday
afternoon, spoke at a banquet
given in her honor by the Juneau
American Legion Auxiliary in the
Baranof Gold Room Sunday night.
“Concessions to aggressors,"
sbe said only lead to renewed
agression which inevitably re
sults in war. There must be no
appeasement of communism."
Mrs. Reed whose home is in j
Vinita, Okla., was elected last Oc- j
tober and has traveled extensively
since that time. With her in Ju
neau was her secretary, Miss
Jeannette Houston of Indianapolis,
executive' secretary of the Auxil
iary through the administrations
of five presidents.
The Auxiliary has a member- I
ship of mure than 900,000 women, j
Nearly 700 belong in Alaska.
Work Performed
Mrs. Reed told of work the
women perform: volunteer hospi
tal work, child welfare work
among veterans’ families; cooper
ate with civil defense committees
supporting the American Legion’s
national security program; prom
ote a better understanding of the
principles of American democra
cy; and sponsor youth organiza
tions.
“We believe that all Auxiliary
activities contribute to the
strength of our country,” she
said, “and we are seeking to
make them more etfective this
year than ever before because
we feel that America must be
strong in spirit as well as in
material things to meet the
dangers of today."
Mrs. Reed recently returned
from a trip to Europe where she ;
visited the Auxiliary group in Par- '
is where welfare work for 1,200
children of veterans in France is
carried on. In England she was
guest of honor at the presentation
of a memorial chapel at St. Paul’s
Cathedral which honored the 28,
