Hundreds ot thousand! of acres in the Western states have never been stuck with a tripod. Arizona alone has 24,000.000 acres of public land on which the boun daries have never been established.

The President's views were out lined in an interview obtained by Arthur Krock, Times' Washington correspondent. Krock, in a dispatch from Wash ington, said the President told him: He no longer haa any hope that the Soviet Union will keep any agreements with the United States which it now would be good policy to seek. When the Russiana blocked east west trade, he began to lose none that the good peace prospects ap parent at the founding of the United Nations would survive. The last vestige of hope vanished when he learned that the Russians were hiding from their people the facts about the war assistance we had given them. The President was quoted as say ing that the same situation would now prevail in Japan aa in Ger many if he had not demanded an American as the allied general for the signing of the Japanese sur render. Otherwise, Mr. Truman was re ported as saying, the Russians would have divided that country as they have Germany and the situa tion in the far east would have been so much worse than it is that one can take comfort from it. The real trouble with the Rus sians is that they are still suf fering from a complex of fear and inferiority where we are concerned Mr Truman was quoted as saying Mr. Truman is reliably informed that the Russians have 16,0O0,uuv people in concentration camps, Krock reports, adding that this is the way of the police state, whici the President finds utterly ab- horent.

Liquor Industry Union Urges Cut In Excise Taxes WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 (-ft Brewery end distillery union work- ers have asked Congress for a ' CS2ft 000 Onn-a.vear rut in excise taxes on liquor, beer and wine. The CIO United Brewery, Flour, Cereal, soft Drink and Distillery workers told the House ways and means committee that the pre sent tales are partly to blame fur the spread of bootlegging and moonshining - "Illicit operators," the union saia in a statement, "are enjoying a steadily expanding business at the expenses of the government, the industry, and the workers." The union said that the excise tax on alcholic beverages is 42 cents out of every dollar. It ask ed that these levies be rolled back to pre-war levels along with the excises on such things as furs, toi let preparations and jewelry. President Truman, in his Jan uary 23 tax message to Congress, recommended reductions in some excises but did not mention whis key, beer and wine levies. Congressional tax experts esti mate that the tax on alcoholic beverages now is yielding about $2,197,000,000 a year, but if cut back to rates in effect prior tj the 1943 wartime boost, the yield would be $-,669,000,000. the gravel stock piles at Elkton this week.
