Air Force ! bases there, and American officers said today that number soon won't t be enough to do the Jobv ' Three of the jet bomber and fighter bases will be finished In the near future at a cost of nearly 5 300 million dollars. U. S. officers say they will need a marked in ) crease In troops, perhaps nearly double the 7,800 now allowed un- der present U. 8. agreements with France. Two more bases are sun 1 to be built.

(R-Neb) announced Thursday he , plans a meeting with Secretary of the Interior McKay this week to ' discuss nrooosed statehood for . Alaska. . - ' Butler heads the Senate Commit tee on Interior and Insular Affairs which has pending an admlnlstra- . tlon backed WU to aanw nawou ' to the union, and a non-administration bill to admit Alaska. . The senator, who supported the Hawaiian statehood bill in the 1953 session of Congress, told newsmen . h. also would vote to aamrc Alaska "If we can get a bill which " I think treats Alaska Jairiy. Such a measure, he said, In , fairness to Its people should pro vide that the new state -snouia comprise practically all of what Is now the territory of Alaska." He "aaid the Interior Department long has advocated keeping most oi me territory under federal control, ex empt from statehood. Butler said ' he expects to tell ! McKav that Alaskans "should have cnnuzh land and resources to -In sure settlement and development of the new state. The whole statehood Issue be- . came ensnsrled in a deadlock In 'Butler's committee last summer. i The committee's seven Demo- (R-Nev), blocked committee ap ' proval of the administration's Ha ' wail bill. Their surprise move forced postponement,, by an 8-7 vote, of action on either bill until hearings had been completed on both. . President Elsenhower, In his Btate of the Union Message to Congress last Feb. 2, said "state hood should be granted promptly" to Hawaii. He did not mention statehood lor Alaska.

This limit will be continued, one author itative spokesman said, until a' "status of forces" agreement can be worked out covering the opera tion' and administration of the bases snd control of the military forces there. The spokesman said France will allow no more men on the bases until a more workable agreement has been reached. That now is be ing negotiated, but the differences have continued for two years. American officials in Paris Indi cated the .negotiations were going on acceptably well. A "status of forces" agreement covers such things as which nation's courts try soldier offenders, hiring and firing of civilian personnel and transpor tation. . American Air Force officers said the . present celling will let Into Morocco only enough U. S. offi cers, airmen and civilians to oper ate two bases and the 6th Air Division headquarters In Rabat. American civilian officials Morocco said the limitation stems from French fears of Increasing American Influence- in the country and a French belief that Ameri cans are Interfering In local pollj "Frenchmen here actually think we want to take over this colony," said one U. S. government official in Morocco. A French official agreed there was considerable antagonism to ward Americans among the French in Morocco. He. said started when Moroccan leaders In terpreted comments by President Roosevelt as assurance that the United Stales would help them get independence from France. Moroc co is one of France's tenderest snots. French officials claim the 7 00 men are enough at present to run the bases: that more Frenchmen and Arabs should do more of the work now done by OIs; that too many highly paid American troops will upset the country's economy worse than ever. Here's a breakdown on U. S. Air Force rnanpowei in Morocco now: Nouaceur 4,200 officers-and air men and ISO U. S. civilians. Sldl Slimane 2,900 officers and airmen and 25 U. 8. civilians. - That leaves 225 officers, airmen and civilians attached to the Air Force for the 5th Air Division headquarters and the big airfields now building at Ben ouerlr.

Tax Office Holds 6,000 Tax Rebates SEATTLE on An estimated 6,000 lederal tax payments are be ing held In the district collection office while attempts are made to determine what they are for. That was the report Wednesday for William E. Frank, district di rector of Internal revenue. ' . He cited the figures In an ad monition to taxpayers - to specify clearly what tax they are paying. The records show that thousands of payments are received each year with nothing more than the check itself, "and It often happens that the signature is not easy to decipher," said Frank. It's an added headache in the Hood of more than 1,600,000 re turns during the year. "The worst example," he com mented, "was the Instance when an envelope was received with no return address, no note of expla nation, but only three $10 bills, two $1 bills and. two dimes. We finally located the account to which the payment applied, but the search cost almost as much as the tax involved." Times Should Reopen Soon .
