Every S4.1O Earned
Is Taxed Total Of ST,
Senator Byrd Says

The average American is paying
out 81 in Federal, State and local
taxes for every $410 earned, it
was estimated today by Senator
Byrd. Democrat, of Virginia. as
the Census Bureau reported that
the Nations tax bill hit new
high of 500, 100000 for the
fiscal year ended last June 80.
This. it was pointed out,
averaged $372 for every man,
woman and child in the country.
Meanwhile, Chairman Thomas
r. McCabe of the Federal Reserve
Board, suggested that Congress
might consider easing the taxes
on corporations and the wealthy
as part of a program to raise
production and beat a depression
Aided by Department.
The tax figures offered by
Senator Byrd, economy advocate
and strong opponent of the Tru-
man fiscal policy, were prepared
in conjunction with the Treasury
Budget Bureau and Commerce
Department.
If President Humans proposal
for more spending to ward off a
depression went through. the Viz
GINA Senator said, the average
PEI capita payment for all kinds
of taxation would be 81 for every
$3.50 earned.
The Census Bureau said that
the previous high for taxes was
$4,000, 000,O 900 for the year ending
in mid 1945.
Federal taxes last year were
$274 per capita; State, $50, and
local, $45.
Increase Over 1948.
The Federal tax bill was $40
100,Q00,000. an increase of $3,000,-
100000 over fiscal 1948, but below
the 1945 peak of SAB. 400,000,000.
In the order of their proves
as revenue producers were:
/. Taxes on individual incomes
which took in S19.800,000.000. or
more than third of all govern
mental revenue for 1948. Most of
that amount was collected by the
Federal Government.
2. Sales and gross receipts taxes
and customs. They provided
$12,100.000,o00 in 1948. which was
a gain of 7 per cent over 1947
and lib per cent over 1912 The
figure includes selective sales taxes
such as those on gasoline. liquor
and cigarettes as we'll as general
sales taxes.
Property Taxes Up.
3. Corporation income taxes,
which yielded $10,300,000,0 600
lettering their ls47 mark but fall
ing one-third below their record
in l945, when the excess profits
tax was still in force.
The biggest single source of
local government revenue was. as
usual. property taxes. These took
In $6.100,000,000, with local
governments getting nearly So
900,000,000 of it and States the
rest. Property tax revenue was
up II per cent from 1947 and So
per cent from 1912.
Social insurance taxes account
ed for six per cent of all Federal.
State and local government rev.
enue in l948.
Risk Capital is Lacking.
Mr.. McCabe's proposal for cas-
ing taxes. he said, represented his
own and not the Reserve Boards
views.
The Pennsylvania Republican
cited high taxes as one cause of
the lack of risk capital for bust
ness ventures.
Because the Government is now

Truman Cracks Down on Telling Defense Secrets

WASHINGTON, (H) - A high government official said privately Saturday that a Senator's televi- sion discussion of atomic weapons helped touch off a Presidential craCkdOWn on talk about defense secrets.
 But the Senator - Edwin C. Johnson D.-COlOD - denied em- phatically that the broadcast had any part in President Truman's action. And Johnson reiterated that he thinks there has been too little secrecy - not too much - about the atomic energy program.
 The President late yesterday directed attorney general McGrath to tighten up the safeguarding of atomic and other national secur- ity information. McGrath and Sen ator McMahOn D.-COnnD, chair man of the Senate-HouSe atomic energy committee, told newsmen about the order after comforting with MT. Truman for more than an hour.
 Neither McGrath nor McMahon would say what prompted the di- rective. They declined to answer questions about Johnson.
 But an official entirely familiar with the reasons for the crack down order told reporter:
 There has been a series of in- cidents endangering ecurit y which disturbed the President, but it is safe to say that the whole thing was brought to a head by the Johnson telecast."
 The television program to which he referred originated in New York on Nov. l. The subject of the panel discussion was: "Is there too much secrecy in our

Violent Storm Hits Northwest: Fifteen Killed

SEATTLE, (H) - Battered ana reeling, the Pacific NOrthWe { fought today against the peril of flood in the wake of a violent wind and rain storm that left IS known dead as it slugged halfway across the northern half of the nation.
 Damage already was in the mil lions of dollars.
 The storm whipped across north Idaho and Montana with gusts of hurricane force, and Veered north during the night. The weather bureau at Bismarck, N. D., report ed the storm hit Manitoba, Can ada, today instead of moving into the central plains states.
 Peak wind velocity was report ed yesterday from Cut Bank, Mont, where gusts registered 105 m.p.h.
 The storm struck on a 1000 mile front Saturday-from British Columbia into Oregon.
 Hardest hit was Washington State. Hundreds of families were evacuated as the rolled waters of the Skagit River in northwest Washington isolated five towns in the Skagit Valley. Four other communities were threatened as five inches of rain fell during a 24-hour span in the upper valley.
 At Mount Vernon, residents and 1-ain-drenched Sandbag crews of from 300-500 men kept their fin gers figuratively crossed as the normally placid Skagit reached 26.05 feet-barely foot below the top of the city's dikes.
 At am. PST, w. R. Whitnall of the Skagit county engineers office reported the river had risen only half an inch in the last three hours, but heavy rains were said to be falling upstream at atConcrete. Whitnall said if the river contin- ued at the 26-foot level it was feared the dikes might soften and burst.
 Water lay six to eight inches deep over eight square blocks of the city which lies about six feet below the level of the river. Mer- chants moved their store goods to second-story levels.
 Approximately 250 per n were evacated by army and coast guard crews from nearby Hamil- ton.
 Across Puget Sound on the Olympia Peninsula, flood waters receded in the Skokomish River Valley after forcing 50 to 60 farm families to flee. Several bridges were washed out.
 Seattle and King County es- capped relatively unscathed al- though utilities poles, trees and high tension wires weer leveled Saturday night and early Sunday. A Is to 20 foot section of blacktop street collapsed on a main thor oughfare to West Seattle.

Russia gave the silent treatment today to Nationalist China's at tempe to stop worldwide recogni- ton of the Chinese Communist re- public
 Dr. T. F. Tsiang, Chinese Ma tionaIist delegate to the United Nations yesterday asked the world organization to find the Soviet Un- ion guilty of having voilated the U. N. charter by aiding Red China.
 As the representative of the Ma tionalist government began a IT, 900 word indictment of Russia and the Chinese Communists, Soviet Russia and the other members of the Soviet bloc announced they would take no part in the debate on the Chinese question.
 Soviet foreign minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky took a walk, an nouncing he was going home to rest. He motiOned to his deputy JakOb A. Malik to serve as acting head of the Soviet delegation.
 The debate continues Monday when the Chinese NatiOnalists will attempt to get binding agreement from U. N. members not to recOg- nize the new Communist regime nor give it aid nor encouragement.
 France took the lead today in giving bones and sineWs to a Un- ion of Western Europe. The French national assembly became the first European parliament to endorse recommendations that the 12-natiOn Council of Europe be- come a real government, and in- clude Western Germany. The Council, which met at Strasbourg last Summer is only a consultative body. The French assembly voted 327 to 249 in favor of the fedora ton plan.
 The assembly also endorsed the Wetser Allies policy of relaxing occupation controls on GeI0any.
 Frances 24-hour general strike ended as quietly as it began. It caused little hardship and hardly affected everyday life.
 In Washington, state depart ment officials expressed concern over frequent political upheavals in Latin America, particularly over the anti-U. s. political views expressed in the past by Panama's self-proclaimed President, Arnul- fo Arias.
 A spokesman said the United States was profoundly shocked by the latest Panama coup. "These events in Panama cannot but be a most serious blow to democratic procedures and to the inter-Amer- ican system in general" the spokesman said.
 The United States announced it had no diplomatic tie with the new government. Arias, who was called on by Panama's strong man police chief Col. Jose Antonio Re- man to take the Presidency, said non-recognition by the United States should cause no alarm. He
