Gov. Gruening Expects Money To Start "Rolling In"

JUNEAU (AP). Governor Gruening returned to office yesterday after an absence of three months. He admitted that Alaska's financial situation is acute, then said that in a short time he expects the money to begin to "roll in."

The tax collection problem was discussed by the governor at a conference with tax commissioner M. P. Mullaney and atty. gen. J. Gerald Williams.

Revenues have fallen far short of expectations due to the tying up of funds while three major tax measures are contested in the courts.

Confident that the legality of the measures will be upheld, Gruening said:

"There is no reason to doubt that after brief opposition is taken care of by the courts, the money will begin to roll in."
