Income Tax Bureau
Announces Settlment of
Claim Against Amarok
WASHINGTON, UPt—1The Inter
nal Revenue Service has settled
for $2,000, a tax claim against a
Nome, Alaska, laundryman to
taling, with interest and penalties,
$4,499.42.
The settlement is the only such
compromise reached with an Al
aska resident this year.
The offer was made by Joe
Amarok, Nome, for income taxes
which the government said were
unpaid for the years 1943 to 1946
inclusive.
Records of the Revenue Service
state that the $2,000 offer ap
peared to be more than could be
obtained by seizure and sale of
Amarok’s present assets or by
installment payments from future
income.
The report said Amarok has op
erated a home laundry in Nome
for a number of years but that
in the past few years his business
has “declined considerably due to
competition of laundries estab
lished by Caucasians.”
Russian-Manned Mig-15s
Fought American Sabres
During Korean War
SEOUL, iff)—The commander of
the U.S. 5th Air Force -said Sat
urday whole formations of Rus
sian-manned MIG-15 jets fought
against American Sabres during
the Korean war.
Lt. Gen. S. E. Anderson said
Russia used Korea as a testing
ground for its pilots and the su
periority of U.S. air power was
clearly established.
There have been many reports
of Russian MIG pilots in Korea,
but Anderson’s report was be
lieved to be the first of Soviet
formations fighting as units.
The 5th Air Force chief said
generally Russians flew with Rus
sians, Chinese with Chinese and
Koreans with Koreans because
“different nationalities couldn’t
understand each other and take
orders in the air.”
Anderson estimated that Soviet
pilots man about 425 of some 1,600
Red jets stationed in North Korea
and Manchuria since the armis
tice. He said the Reds have an
air force of about 2,300 planes,
including jets.

Too High Ranks
In Armed Services
Says Rep. Norblad
WASHINGTON, Rep. Nor
blad (R-Ore) protested to Secre
tary of Defense Wilson Saturday
that the armed services have too
many high ranking officers.
A “classic example,” Norblad
said is that the Air Force has
one general for every three sec
ond lieutenants whereas “the pro
per ratio” should be about one
general for 3,000 second lieuten
ants.
“The continuing policy of the
department in materially reduc
ing the officer strength of the
various services, while at the
same time anouncing a series of
promotions in higher ranks, frank
ly has me very puzzled,” he wrote
Wilson.
Norblad said he noted that
while the Marine Corps was cut
ting its strength to conform with
the new budget, it was promoting
22 new generals at the same time.
He also called attention to an
article in a service publication
stating the Air Force officer re
ductions had reached 16,500 Vhile
a companion article reported the
Air Force had promoted 151 of
ficers to colonel and lieutenant
colonel.
“I fail to see what is accom
plished by reducing the overall
strength of both officer and en
listed personnel of the services,
while at the same time many high
ranking officers are added to the
rolls of both services,” Norblad
said.

Bartlett Raps GOP
Record In Alaska,
Sees Demo’sReturn
JUNEAU — After 20 years in
the wilderness, the Republican
Party in Alaska is moving “with
the terrific speed of a caterpillar,”
Delegate E. L. Bob” Bartlett, a
Democrat, declared to cheering
members of his own party at a
Jefferson - Jackson banquet last
week in Fairbanks.
“In 1952,” Bartlett said, “it was
the decision of Alaskans that the
time had come for 9 complete
change. As a result this year’s
legislature was for the first time
in 20 years clearly controlled by
the Republican Party.
“The people of Alaska will have
their opportunity in the next gen
eral election to pass judgment on
that legislature. Their memories
as to what happened at Juneau
and what did not happen will be
freshened. We, as vigilant mem
bers of the minority party, will
see to that.”
The delegate questioned wheth
er the Republican legislature “did
not move 9 bit precipitously in
easing the burdens of big industry
in the territory” instead of “pav
ing-the way for new industry.”
“The budget hasn’t been bal
anced and taxes haven’t been re
duced,” Bartlett said, “but Alas
ka is feeling the withering effect
of the new policies,”
Reviewing the efforts which
Democrats, including John W.
Troy, Anthony J. Dimond and
Ernest Gruening made for a great
er share of home rule, Bartlett
said: “Above all other things, let
us continue to work for true poli
tical equality, for statehood no
less.”
“We Democrats do not pretend,”
he said, “that we and we alone
stand for statehood an<J for the
other good things toward which
we aspire. Many many progressive
Republicans are with us. But time
after time from public platforms
in this territory in the days before
the political upheaval, while ac
knowledging a common allegiance
between us Democrats and that
branch of the Republican Party, I
always predicted that a Republi
can victory would discover them
to be out in the cold with the ad
ministrative control in the hands
of those who would turn the clock
back. The events of today serve
only to confirm that prediction.”
Bartlett predicted that “the time
when the people will demand our
party’s services again is not so
far distant as some of us might
have imagined back in the autumn
of 1952.”
