RODEN SEES
CLEAR SAILING
FOR FINANCES
With something coming in every
day on quarterly tax and license
payments, Alaska will weather the
last lean financial period of the
year, in the belief of Henry Roden.
The Territorial Treasurer said
today, “We expect to take in
enough dming the present quarter
to manage until the first of the
year. Money is coming in every
day.’’
Chief sources of revenue available
to the General Fund are from fish
trap licenses, and liquor excise and
net income taxes. Motor fuel oil
tax revenue is earmarked, as are
monies from the tobacco tax.
A simplification of the Treas
urer’s report at close of business
October 31 shows this picture of
the General Fund:
Bank Balance $ 3,185,870.33
Less
Outstanding Warrants 1,053,171.83
Balance .$ 2,132,698.50
Less
Earmarked, invested 1,779,800.89
Balance available 352.897.61
After calling attention to the ^
federal and other earmarked funds, i
Roden said, “Perhaps you'd like to
know how the Territory’s $360,785.21
is invested in bonds?”
“A little over $260,000 is for the !
Teachers’ Retirement Fund; ap
proximately $90,000, Public Employ
ees’ Fund, and $10,000, Uniiversity
of Alaska.
“Besides,” Roden pointed out,
“we have collected almost $170,000
in real property taxes. This new
law was ruled invalid and now is
before the Court cf Appeals. There
fore, this sum is being held in a
special fund, and thus is not in
cluded in the General Fund.
Another sum that does not show
in the net balance, although it does
in the earmarked summary, is
some $60,000 collected under the
new business license tax law. “We
consider,” said Roden, “that this
money does not belong to the Ter
ritory, as approximately 60 percent
is to be refunded to individual
cities.”
Average monthly expenditure of
the Territory, according to Roden,
is $800,000.
Serum Is Rushed to
Warren's Daughter
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Nov. 8—tP!
—A serum which may save Gover
nor Warren’s youngest (daughter,
Nina, from further ravages of polio
arrived today via mercy plane from
Chicago.
The pretty, honey haired, 17-year
old Nina was hospitalized with polio
yesterday.
Four specialists said today she
was in “very critical" condition. Her
legs are paralyzed.
The tragedy turned what might
have been the -day of greatest polit- ]
ical rejoicing for Warren into a day j
of sadness, prayers and anxious 1
waiting. He made political history
by becoming California’s first three
term Governor.
WORLD WILL SEE
SEVEN PLAGUES,
SAYS EVANGELIST
»
“Seven terrible plagues are im
pending and will be poured upon the
world before the second coming
of Christ,” declared Evangelist Vor
ies last night in the Prophetic Light
auditorium on the corner of Second
and Main.
"Under the sixth plague the na
tions are gathered at Armageddon
for the battle of that great day of
God Almighty. It is definitely point
ed in this prophecy that the ‘kings
of the east’ are to have a part in
this battle. Who knows, but the fric
tion now in the far eastern count
ries is the rumblings of the war
chariots to the battle of Armaged
don?" Vories says.
Closing the lecture, the evangelist
appealed to the people from Isa.
48:18, “Oh that thou hadst hark
ened to my commandments, then
had they peace been as a river, and
thy righteousness as the waves of
the sea.”
The lecture topic tonight will be,
“Unraveling the Covenant Snarls.”
Mr. Vorhies says this will be in
tensly interesting. Music begins at
7:30. All are invited.
UP TO OOP! GOES
BAROMETER, AND
NOW WE KNOW WHY
For any other amateur observer
who noted, as did Frank A. Met
calf, that the barometer took a
startling leap in 24 hours, Claude
V. Brown has the simple explana
tion.
To go back—Metcalf said this
morning, “I’ve never seen the baro
meter go so high, and so fast. Here
in my office, it jumped from 20.G0
yesterday to 30.60 today, probably
a good 31 at actual sea level."
“That,” said Brown, “indicated
the extreme intense high-pressure
area which moved across Alaska—
part of what caused our high winds
Sunday. Moving toward British
Columbia, where it now centers, it
caused pressure to rise rapidly yes
terday.
"We are now on the west side
of the extremely tense high, so we
are getting wind from the south.”
Brown is meteorologist-in-charge
of the Juneau Station, U. S. Wea
ther Bureua.

Leftist Marcantonio
Ousted by NY Voters
NEW YORK. Nov. 8— UfI —Vito
Marcantonio, for years Congress’
most zealous and unswerving leftist,
was toppled from office last night
by the power of a three-party coal
ition.
Backed by the Republican, Dem
ocratic and Liberal Parties, James
G. Donovan, 51, defeated the vet
eran American Labor Party Cong
ressman by a thumping 50,391 to
35.835 votes.
The outcome smashed Marcan
tonio’s 14-year-old political reign in
the 18th Congressional District—
Manhattan’s predominantly Italian
and Puerto Rican “Spanish Har
lem.”
Marcantonio, 48, conceded defeat
early. Standing on a desk in his
campaign headquarters, he told a
gathering of 1,000 followers:
“It just goes to show' you can’t
beat a gang-up, and those who be
lieve in real Democracy must learn
a lesson from this."
