u. ). Personal Income
Smashes All Records,
August Figures Show
BY the Associated Press

Personal income of Americans
smashed all records in August. 1t
was up to an unprecedented annual
rate Of $2l5,o0o, 900 900. the Com
merce Department announced to-
day.
Pay raises for factory workers and
Government employees, plus an in
crease In the number of persons
working in farming and trade, were
the chief causes of a $4,000, 900 900
jump over July's previous record
rate
Wage and salary payments, them
selves at an all-time high, account
ed for $136, 900 900, 900 of the annual
rate total for personal incomes.
Owners Receipts Counted.
Also counted in personal incomes
are receipts Of landlords and owners
Of farms and unincorporated busi-
nesses, dividend and interest re-
ceipts of stock and bond owners,
bonuses to veterans, social security
payments, etc.
Farm owners income went count
er to the general tide. 1t dropped
because their marketings fell of.
Nevertheless, farmers were not
doing badly.
The department said farmers net
income for the first eight months
Of this year was at an annual rate
Of $1s,4o0, ,000, 900, or 1S' per cent
higher than in the similar period of
last year.
Pay Increases Biggest Item.
In summary, the department
said:
Since May. wage and salary dis
bursements have increased from an
annual rate Of $12S. 800, ,o00, 900 to the
$136,900, 900 900 rate in August.
This movement in effect repre-
sents the increase in total personal
income for that period, since
changes in the other components oi
personal income have been largely
offsetting."
Incomes of owners of unincor-
porated businesses were an exam
pie of what was happening among
the other components. These re-

minimum wage from 40 cents an

At the end he warned that this

War With Russia May Come,
State Department official Saws
But U. S. Proceeds
On Belief Peace
Is Possible Yet
By Gornett D. Homer

The American people had
solemn warning from a. high
State Department official today
that it may not be possible to
avoid war with Russia.
Aims Of double dealing" Soviet
rulers for world domination" are
"a direct threat" to American Sc
curity, Assistant Secretary of State
Charles E. Saltzman declared last
night.
"Forewarned by this knowledge, !"
he, added, I'VE must be fore-armed
by an alertness to danger and a
readiness to preserve our security
and freedom at all cost
Mr.. Saltzman sized up the situa-
ton this way:
1T Is now perfectly plain" that
Soviet policy Is based on "the dog
matte doctrine that conflict between
communism and the rest of the
world is inevitable and must con-
tfnue until one OF the two rival sys-
TENS utterly destroys the other. 80
I'VE are eXerting our utmost
effort to avoid war. We hope to
win this conflict this side of war,
by patience, calmness and spiritual
fortitude. Perhaps this will not be
possible but We shall proceed on
the assumption that it Is possible. !"
The last phrase-"but we shall
proceed on the assumption that 1t
is possible"-was inserted by Mr..
Saltzman at the last minute in the
prepared text of a speech he de-
livered last night at the University
of New Hampshire at Durham, N. H.
Copies of his speech were made
available in advance here by the
State Department Wednesday. Re-
porters seized Immediately on his
warning OF war danger. The depart
ment last night issued some amend
ments, which it said were prepared
by Mr.. Saltzman on his way to
Durham, stressing the idea that
this Government still hopes for
peace.
Another major amendment in
serted after his call for q readiness
10 preserve our security and free
dom at all cost" this sentence:
If we do so, the prospects OF
peace will be much greater since
it would then be less likely that
any foreign power would attempt
to coerce this and other countries
by force
Perhaps Most Forceful Yet.
The speech remained perhaps the
most forceful warning of war danger
and harshest denunciation of Soviet
leaders yet to be put on the record
by a responsible American Official.
Mr.. Saltzman described the Berlin
crisis-with which he is directly
concerned as Assistant Secretary of
State for occupied areas-as "the
most dangerous threat to world
peace that now exists"
He reviewed efforts of the United
States, Britain and France to nego-
tiate with Moscow an end to the
Russian land blockade Of Berlin
before referring the matter to the
United Nations Security Council as
threat to peace. =
Il wish could give you some as
surance' that the critical situation
in Berlin will be resolved peacefully
| and soon," Mr.. Saltzman said. 81
