NEWS REVIEW
Truman Asks Tax Cut;
Brazil Gusts ALI Reds

Whether President harry Iru-
mans state of the union message to
congress was "socialistic, as Re-
publican partisans dubbed it, or
fortnight and courageous, as in
the eyes of loyal Democrats, re-
mained a matter of opinion, but it
was fairly obvious that in making it
the President had cast loving
glance toward next November's
election day.
He proposed a combination tax
cutting-and-raising device that man.
ifestly has no chance of passage in
the Republican dominated congress
but one that sounds good to lot of
voters.
His plan, embodying tax-rehef to
the little man." would give each
individual taxpayer an immediate
$40 tax cut for himself and for each
dependent. To offset that reduction
in federal income he proposed that
corporation taxes be raised by 80
billion dollars.
Mr.. Truman presented the scheme
as ''cost of living credit designed
primarily to relieve the small tax
payer.
In a phrase certain to be quoted
with relish by Democratic orators
during the coming campaign, the

revenue collections where they are
and still help those who need relief
to buy the necessities of life
Supplementing the tax proposals
he called for 75-cent-per-hour min
imum wage, representing 35-cent
increase over the present Accent
minimum. Although in the past he
has favored raising the national
minimum wage, the 75-cent figure
was the highest fiat demand he has
made.
General tone of the Presidents
message to the joint session led
most observers to believe that he
was swinging his administration
back to "a little left Of CENTER"
point which generally is identified
with New Deal PHILOSOPHERS.
Some saw in the speech a per-
ceptible bid for the left-wing and
liberal vote that Henry Wallace's
third party is threatening to take
away from the Democrats.
Republican reaction to Mr.. Tru-
mans speech was bitter and intense
and the COP. went ahead more
determinedly with its own tax-re-
duction bill.

were fairly heavy), he incurred
some displeasure from the regulars.
if not from the spectators.
This year the political field will
take on a similar appearance. The
owner of one of the sombreros
tossed into the arena in December
is going to cause considerable con-
cern to the rest.

ing Hank, the Iowa Whirlwind,

comes to throwing as well as

aid of a lot of wishful thinking,
Mr.. Wallace is going to get in

Certainly there is no gloom exud-
ing from the White House. Sure,

WET AND DRY
WET AND DRY
Factions Fight Over Statistics

Those irreconcilable enemies. the
wet and dry forces in the U. S.,
fought out the legal liquor question
in 769 local option elections in 81
states last year. then went at each
other hammer and tongs in battle
of statistics.
Distilling industry spokesmen
claimed that 1947 brought ''the first
wet gains since repeal"
Prohibition groups countered that
the past IL months produced new
victories for their campaign to dry
up the country by taking one COM
munity at time.
Outcome of the statistical fight
may never be clearly defined be-
cause the vets used population fig
ures to back up their claims while

AND FURTHERMORE 80.

Taxes were not the only cOntrO-
versial issue touched upon by
Mr.. Truman in his message to
congress. He also asked for:
1. The Once-rejected 1O-pOint
anti-inflatiOn program with power
to impose wage and price con-
trolls and ratiOning.
2. Universal military training.
3. Authorization of the four

4. Stronger and extended rent

S. Public housing for low

action to cut building costs.
6. MOdernizatiOn of farm price

ance.
Z. Extension of unemployment
compensation, old age and sr--

8. Admission of European refu-
gees into the u. S.
8. Statehood for Alaska and

THIRD FORCE:
Socialism?

Latest voice from among the less
potent nations of the globe to rise in
protest of the cold battle between
Russia and the U. S. was that of
Leon Blum, French Socialist leader
and short-time premier Of France.
He called for third force of the
world to stand between the Big
Two, even as such a middle group
has stood between the Communists
and DeGaullists in France.
Blum said the international third
force would oppose American CAPT.
talism and expansion as well as
Russian Imperialism and extinction
of human rights. That force, he pro-
posed, ought to be headed by France
and Great Britain.
Blum was espousing on a world
wide basis an old and eminently
workable theory - the balance of
power. While Russia and America
are battling it out on fairly even
terms, Blum would have the two
lesser nations step in to take control
of the slight power balance that is
left over and thus possibly be able
to steer a course more to their
liking.
Between Russia and the u. S.,
said Blum, 'there is room for ma
tons which want at the same time
personal liberty and collective econ
omy, democracy and social JUS
tice." It was another plea for
middle course, and to Blum a
middle course meant Socialism.

A net gain of about $4,000 per-
sons in the ''wet population" those
living in the areas where sale Of
hard liquor is legal-was reported
by the Distilled Spirits institute. It
said it has official figures from state
governments showing that the
steady dry progress of the past IA
years was halted. and even reversed
in 1947.
"'In 1945," said a spokesman,
'clocal option elections dried up
areas in which 81, 1,293 Americans
lived. In 1916 there was gain in
the total dry population Of 285, 300.
But this year, the tables were
turned and the wet population
showed an increase for the first
time since 1888"

KNOCKOUT:
Brazil

Brazil, which severed diplomatic
relations with Russia in a huff last
October, now has administered
what looks like the coup de grace to
Red activity within its own borders.
It came in the form of a law,
signed amid great furor by Presi-
dent Enrico Dutra, virtually abol-
ishing every vestige of Communist
action in Brazil by removing all
Communists from elective posts
throughout the nation, including
congressman.
The process of outlawing the Reds
was far from calm one, marked at
times by dramatic displays of Latin
American verve and temper.
Fist fights broke out frequently on
the floor of the chamber of deputies,
and at one point during the debate
the session was suspended tempo
rarily when three deputies pulled
guns from their pockets and waved

Saloon league. were no less vehe-
ment in reporting dry successes
during 1947.
Mrs. Colvin estimated that the
number of legally dry areas
Jumped about 5O0' during the year
as result of local option elections.
Miss Lindley said the Anti-Saloon
league had not yet completed it's
survey of liquor election results, but
added that a preliminary report on
IS states showed a net gain of 259
dry communities.
The opposing factions were agreed
on only one point-that the current
year would bring more hard-fought
battles in states. counties, town.

almost bubbled. Once in a while,
Mr.. Truman would jerk little when
the reportorial needle hit a political
nerve, but for the most part, these
meetings, where the questions be-
come sharper and sharper as the
Ides of November '48 approach,
have been a feast of wit and flow
of soul.
And there is no moaning at the
bars where other Democrats gather;
Wallace will drive all the liberals to
active support of the Democrats,
they'll tell you; he will shear away
the lunatic fringe of Democratic
support; drain the party of the last
tint of that which might incarnadine
its record; will garner the middle
of-the-roaders who will feel less
danger of communicating their bal
lots with a New-Dealish radicalism; !;
it may mean Mr.. Taft may be Mr..
Truman's opponent, and an easier
battle can be fought and won
against Taft, say the Democrats,
than against other presidential hope
fuls who might be better Repub-
ican vote-getters.
And so on-you've heard the story
before from many optimistic lips.
If the Democratic tepee ex-
udes joy, the Taft wigwam
shakes with CHEEKY mirth. Rea-
sons are obvious. In a nutshell,
Republicans say: The issue is
left and right. The left is split.
And so the rooster crows trium-
phantly without waiting for No
vember dawn.
Likewise, each hopeful favorite
son finds something to cheer him.
But the canny observers are plac-
ing no bets yet, and those who had
their money down have had to do
very little hedging. There is only
one thing certain and that is: It's
going to be a grand show.

Lo. the Noble Horse

The year 1947 ended with new
sea serpent story which you un-
doubtedly read about. 1 mention it,
because myself saw strange and
terrifying beast as walked to work
one late December morning, and 1
believe the two tales worthy of repe-
tition.
AS to the sea serpent: The Asso-
ciated Press carried signed story
by the master of the steamship
Santa Clara, J. Jordan, in which he
described the monster sighted in the
Atlantic 118 miles due east of Cape
Lookout. He named the first and
third mates and the navigation Off
Ger as witnesses.
According to their testimony, the
monsters snake-like head was about
two and one-half feet long, there
was about 35 feet of cylindrical body
some three feet in diameter visible.
The water about the beast was
stained red and the animal was
thrashing around in apparent agony,
causing the skipper to believe that
the ship had cut it in two. The
beasts skin was brown, slick and
smooth, there were no protuber-
ances, fins or hair on the head, neck
or visible parts of the body"
That's the shippers story.
Mine is equally terrifying.
actually saw in the early morn
ing, moving down New Hamp-
shire avenue, huge creature,
whose body, like the shippers
sea serpent, was without fins or
prOtuberanceS, but unlike it,
was covered with hair. The head
was more than two feet long,
the barrel-shaped body was sup
ported on four long legs which
made the creature higher when
it threw up its head, much
higher than a man.
It's feet were not large compared
to the great, powerful body, and
they terminated in great claw, or
nail-like substance, which would
give the creature terrible weapons
Of offense or defense the teeth were
large and blunt, and the mouth.
though not large, plainly could in
fiict damaging wounds.
Human beings looked puny beside
this creature which appeared as out
of place on Washington city street
as a hippopotamus or an elephant.
Strangely enough, it did not cause
any great commotion except among
the younger people who stared in
wonder, obviously never having
seen anything like it, except in pic
ture books. 1t did pose considerable
problems for motorized traffic.
Horns honked, drivers Uttered,
back-seat orders thundered.
Finally the monster turned off the
street and went up an alley. That

Outside the building private citi-
zens argued vociferously and ex-
changed blows. Leftist crowds
shouted vengeance or the deputies
and police sirens screamed through
downtown Rio de Janeiro.

turbulent legislative session ever
