KaIorama Unit Weiqhs
Mrs. Wubnig' S Motion
To Quit Federation

The Kalorama Citizens Associa-
ton today has under consideration
a proposal to withdraw from the
Federation of Citizens Associations
because of the latter groups effort
to draw up an enforceable substi-
tute for restrictive covenants.
Mrs. Sylvia Wubnig, when a dele
gate to the Federation last winter,
temporarily was refused a seat
when other delegates protested she
had been a member of the League
of Women's Shoppers. This organi-
zation was among groups listed as
subversive by the House Committee
for the Investigation of Un-Amer-
ican Activities.
Foreman Backs Stand.
In her resolution, Mrs. Wubnig
declared the Kalorama group should
"disassociate itself from any action
designed to circumvent and evade
the supreme law of the land" In
approving a substitute covenant
proposal, she said, the Federation
and its newspaper, the Citizen, are
encouraging such action. Mrs.
Wubnig is secretary of the Kalo-
rama association.
Clark Foreman, vice president,
supported Mrs. Wubnig. He said
he does not want to be part OF an
organization that seeks to under
mine the social structure of the
United States and its policy as
avowed by the Supreme Court and
that actively opposes the Consti-
tuition"
One member, opposing the resolu-
ton, said Mrs. Wubnig lis just wag-
ing personal battle with the Fed

ground" II am net ashamed of my
background, and do not consider
it the members right to make any
insinuations," !" Mrs. Wubnig retorted.

action on the resolution pending
further study.

chairman for the observance is Sec
retary of National Defense Forrestal.
The President wrote: TN these
times, the inclusion of all our peo-
pie in the study of the things which
must be done to guarantee our ma
tional security is very important.
I hope the ROA can bring into this
program every State and community
National security is the obligation
of every citizen. Its responsibilities
know no social, economic, religious
or partisan lines"
Mr.. Truman added: "We must
continue to give everything that is
needed to win the peace. The price
Of victory was lives, dollars, and
materials. The price Of peace calls
for application of our minds, hearts
and our resources, just as we ap-
piled them in war. I believe that
the people of our Nation have the
character to go ahead with the tasks
which are ahead of u.s."

President Truman handed Congress
a S39.7-billion dollar war budget, an
increase of nearly S2-billion dollars
over current estimates. He told the
Congress that conditions the "basi-
cally different than we have ever
faced before" and that as per cent

Government-Former Partnership
Uncle Sam has not attempted to
conceal the fact that he has created
the greatest farm income boom in
history by the simple process of fix
ing prices for farm crops and pro-
duce while at the same time the
government actually purchased the
farm products. The result has been
"price-fixing' by the government
that has assured the farmers of top
notch prices No body kicks on that.
But the same fellows that fixed
the prices for the farmers are top
notch officials of the Federal Gov
eminent, A few of them used their
own official knowledge of what was
sure to happen in the grain exchange
markets, and made personal profits.
An Abundance OF Money
There IS plenty of money to keep
the wheels of industry and labor
whirling around. The money surplus
is now three times the pre-war sup
ply. We don't know Just who it is
that has counted it. but estimated re-
ports in Washington show the volu-
me of money is above $l11.000,000,-
000-and still going up slowly. The
fly in the ointment is that prices are
almost double pre-war-and still
going up"
Nctioncl and International Matters
Notwithstanding the fact that
President Truman vetoed the two
Republican tax-relief measurse in
l947, the prospects are that tax ex-
emptions probably will be raised by
Congress. Taxes will be reshaped on
percentage point basis for all tax
payers. Corporate rates will not be
lowered. The corporations will be
satisfied if their tax rates are not
increased.
Remember that the Republicans
passed tax reduction bills in 1947
President Truman vetoed those mea-
sures. He hos been trying to find
some new way to make reductions
in taxes-and get the credit for it
But up to date he has been unable
20 suggest practical way for any
reductions.
President Truman proposed a RI
diculous scheme for taxation, sug'
costing $40 rebate to small tax
payers. He would automatically col
lect that extra $40 from heavy tax
payers. A business man has observ-
ed that the Truman offer is nothing
more or less than a $40 bid fol
