Senate Measure Aiso
Wipes Out Exemptions,
Exnense Allowances
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27 — ! —
Tfie Senate voted 77-11 today to
wipe out the tax exemption on ex
pense allowances of the President,
Vice President and members of
Congress, effective Jan. 3, ’■•'.3.
The amendment, described by its
sponsors as in effect a salary cut,
was tacked on to a bill to increase
taxes an estimated $5,500,000,000 a
year. The bill calls for an 11 per
cent boost in income taxe for mo t
persons.
Senator Williams (R-DeP. spon
sor of the amendment to remote
the tax-free privilege on the ex
pense funds, originally planned to
make it effective Nov. 1, this year.
That is the scheduled date of the
boost in personal income taxes.
But Williams told newsmen he
could not get enough vote- to put
it over without changing the effec
tive date to 1953.
The amendment is not in the
House-passed $7,200,000,000 tax in
crease bill and thus would be subjr •
to action in conference between the
two branches.

Fish Hsarinp
The annuel fisheries hearings for
northern Alaska ended yesterday
with a hearing at Yakutat. Howard
Ealtzo, assistant regional director
for the Fish and Wildlife Service,
and Richard Shuman, supervisor of
fisheries management, returned to
Juneau following'the Yakutat hear
ing. Baltzo directed the hearing
at Cordova and Shuman was chair
man of the meeting at Kodiak.
Baltzo stated that the hearing
at Cordova was disappointing as
there were few constructive sug
gestions made by the fishermen on
the proposed rules and regulations
for next season. A ion brief Lhat
demanded that the Territory bo
given control of its fisheries was
presented at the meeting by the
Cordova Fishermen’s Union. The
brief has been forwarded to Oscar
Chapman, Secretary oi the Interior,
The Cook Inlet controversy took
the limelight at both tha Cordova
and Kodiak hearings, Baltzo stated.
For the last four years, the number
of drift gill net boats has increased
in the Inlet and this year there
< was a record number of 510 boat
• engaged in drift gill netting. To
• guard escapement, the Fish and
Wildliie officers required that in
■ midseason the drift nets be cut
from 200 to 150 fathoms. The gill
netters major protest against the
ruling was that there was no cur
taiim nt of traps and set nets op
erating in the Inlet.
In both Cordova. and Kodiak,
• Baltzo and Shuman reported that
the fishermen suggested few chang
es in the regulations that have been
proposed for the areas near the
, towns.
Yakutat Hearing
• The hearing at Yakutat was the
first one ever held there and Balt
• zo reported that the men who
operate set gill nets in the nearby
rivers had many excellent suggest
1 ions.

Taking Tourisis
Pago Pago in the South Seas is
a jump ahead of Alaska with its
Visitors Committee, it was learned
through a Pan American World
Airways press release received here
today.
Pago Pago (pronounced Pango
Fango), is the capital of American
Samoa on the island oi Tutuila, end
for the first time is opening its
gates to tourists. The information
came from Richard A. Greer, secre
tary of the Samoa Visitors Commit
tee.
B. F. Dunn, district traffic and
sales manager here for PAA and on
■ the board of directors for the em
bryonic Alaska Visitors Association,
'pointed out contrasts and compar t -
: sons between the two countries.
■‘Like Alaska, Samoa is lacking
i in facilities to accommodate large
i numbers of visitors at the same
lime, but recognizes the value of a
visitors association,” Dunn said. “It
; also is served by PAA through con
nections at Suva. However PAA has
: made application for a direct flight
to Pago Pago.
“Visas with pass ports are required
I for this South Sea port, while none
are needed for Alaska. Travel and
I living costs are similar. However
'he government of American Sa
moa asks visitors to show return
tickets or make deposit covering
the cost of a return ticket. This
is to prevent optimists from becom
ing stranded in the hopes of liv
ing off bananas and breadfruit. Al
aska has no such provision,” Dunn
said.
Samoa is 4,COO miles from San
Francisco, or twice as far as Hawaii.
