TAXATION:
Cost Will Be High

The senate finance committee
served notice that the cost Of war
in Korea would be higher with its
unanimous approval Of increased
individual income taxes amounting
to about So billion.
The senate and house we're ex-
pected to approve the legislation.
Main points of the bill:
l. Dig deeper into the pockets Of
more than so, 900, 900 individual tax
payers October 1. Withholding Of
wages and salaries, after personal
exemption, will jump from the pres
ent Is per cent. to IS per cent.
2. The actual increase in taxes
will be around 20 per cent for mil
lions of persons in the lower income
brackets. For 1850, the present tax
would apply IN three-fourths of in
come, and the higher rates on one-
fourth. In 1851 and thereafter the
higher rates would apply on all in
come.
8. GI's fighting in Korea would
pay no tax at all, and their officers

women outside the war zones

Straight to Cemetery

Russian propaganda at times has
been ridiculous. The newest blast
was directed against American foot
ball.
Radio Moscow said recently:
Football players at the University
Of Michigan are often carried from
the football field to the hospital or
even straight to the cemetery"
Moscow pictured American ath-
letes driven to slaughter by greedy
promoters. In fact, Moscow cried
that it all was inspired by Wall
Street to get the American public
conditioned for war.
In retaliation, the Voice Of Ameri-
ca offered to buy a season pass for
any accredited Russian correspon-
dent who wants to see the Universe
ty of Michigan football team play.
Said the u. S.:
1.-The voice will gladly offer a sea-
sons pass to all games Of the Uni
versity of Michigan to an accredit-
ed U.S.S.R. correspondent to see
for himself. We can assure him that
he'll have no expenses for flowers
or Wreaths."

UNITED NATIONS:
Anger and Illustration

Delegates to the U. N. security
council watched with disgust as
Russia's Jacob A. Malik blocked
every move of the organization to
continue with its business after two
weeks under his craftsmanship.
n-Communist delegates were
angered and frustrated by his tao
tics, but were resigned to waiting
it out until his Craftsmanship ended
today, August 81 and Sir Gladwyn
Jebb Of Britain takes over.
Malik's strategy had been de-
signed to stall any action of the or
ganization on the Korean situation
and to create as much propaganda
as possible for the Communist cause.
Some quarters believed that Malik
scored some success along that
line.
He continued to drum the theme
that South Korea started the var
and accused the United States of
using "inhuman and barbarous
methods of waging war in Korea"
The western delegates hit back
much more forcefully than EVER be-
fore. us. delegate Warren Austin
pinned the responsibility for the
North Korean invasion on the Rus
sians-as the men behind the men
behind the guns. Sir Gladwyn made
biting attacks on the entire philoso-
ply under which the Kremlin
operates.
The western attack seemed to hit
home. Malik seemed a little har-
assed at times and talked much
faster and gestured more often.
Malik stated during n Of the
rounds that the only Russian arms
possessed by the North Koreans
were those I'VE sold to them when
Soviet forces withdrew from Ko-
rea". It was the first time Malik
or any other Soviet leader has ad-
mitted that North Koreans were US
ing Soviet weapons.
The statement exposed Malik as
a liar before the world because late
model weapons have been captured
from the Communists that were not
even developed at the time the
Russians were supposed to have
withdrawn from North Korea. One
such weapon was a late model NOR
tar shell.

Museum Determines
Value of Pictures
By X-Roy Methods

NEW YORK-Every year nun
dreds of people throughout the coun
try dig old pictures out of their at
tics and many of their finds are
taken to the Brooklyn Museums
restoration department to determine
their value.
Fifty percent of the master
pieces examined by the museum
are found to be practically worth
less.
The restoration service is offered
at cost, Sheldon Keck, head of the
department. reports. The charge
ranges from So to as high as 500 a
painting, depending on the amount
Of work involved.
people think an X-ray will tell
them everything about a picture,
but it's not so simple as that" he
said. Technical evidence must be
weighed together with stylistic
analysis and a historical study Of
the picture.
The department has some strange
requests, too. A delicate situation
was presented by a man who
wanted to find out If the clothing
in a portrait Of a woman had been
added after the picture was original
ly completed. The mans fiance. an
artists model, had given him the
picture after telling him she had
never posed in the nude. The
museum reported laconically that
the costume was Of a later date
than the rest of the picture and dis
creetly closed the case.
Even the most exhaustive study
will sometimes produce only mega
tive results, Keck reports. Recent
tests of a picture said to be Raphael
disclosed that one of the colors
used was Prussian blue, a pigment
unknown until 200 years after
R~aphael's death. The identity of the
real artist is still a mystery.
In considering modern works Of
art, the artist himself is not to be
trusted always. Renoir once swore
he was not the painter Of n OF
his own pictures. The painting had
been stolen and the artist did not
want the thief to profit by it.
A forged Picasso Of the artists
''blue period" was an exception. x
rays showed the picture was paint
ed over an abstraction. Picasso's
'blue period" is known to have pre-
coded his abstract painting. The art
ist later bore out the evidence by
denying he had ever seen the pic
ture before 1t was submitted to him.

Truman Gets Power

The house voted, 1888 to IL, a
broad home-front mobilization bill
that gave the President power tc
control prices and wages, ration
consumer goods and impose indus
trial curbs to speed up the war eff
fort. The senate also had a similar
bill under consideration.
Some kind of control bill had been
expected for some time, but there
were several surprising aspects to
the one the house voted. In the first
place, the vote of 383 to IL was
startling. But even more startling
was the fact the house, which U.s.
ually jealousy guards its authority
and power, left it entirely up to the
President when to invoke the price
wage-rationing and other control
powers contained in the bill.
Mr.. Truman insisted he was not
ready for severe restrictions upon
civilian economy. And although the
bill gives him that power, it is not
believed that such broad scale mo-
Utilization is in sight. However, the
administration is reported anxious
to use some of the industrial con-
trolls, particularly the power to al
locate scarce materials to war in
duStrieS.
If and when the President invokes
controls, the bill stipulates he must
peg wages at the May 24-June Is
level. For prices he would have to
give only due consideration" to
the period as a base.
The bill would:
Cd Give the President authority
to impose wage and price controls
and rationing at any time he deems
necessary.
(2) Make it a criminal offense,
punishable by a $40, 900 fine and a
year in jail, to hoard food, clothing,
automobile tires and other 'neces-
saries."
(3) Authorize the President to
exercise consumer credit controls
similar to those used during World
War II.
() Authorize the President to
requisition materials and factories
necessary to the defense effort.
go Let the President set up a sys-
tenn of priorities and ALLEGATIONS
for getting strategic and critical
materials to defense plants.
CO. Authorize the government to
make or guarantee loans for de-
tense purposes. The total Of loans
outstanding at any one time could
not exceed 81 billion.

POLITICS.:
An Issue Found

Four important Republican sena-
tors, members Of the foreign rela-
lions committee, issued an indict-
ment of Democratic diplomatic
failures, charging the administra-
TONS policy invited Russia ito
grab whatever it could in China,
Korea, and Formosa."
Senators Wiley Of Wisconsin,
Smith of New Jersey, Hickenlooper
of Iowa and Lodge of Massachu-
sets signed the statement that
demanded the United States take
immediate steps to regain the in
itiative and the power for the or
~ganization and preservation of last
ing peace, which it threw away in
1945."
The senators charged that the
administration was responsible for
''the disintegration Of wi armed
forces in 1945". evidently forgetting
that Republicans and Democrats
both answered the screams OF
mothers and fathers throughout the
nation to let their boys come home.
Republican leaders said they will
discuss this issue in the congress
sional campaigns and expect their
national committee soon to lay down
a documentary white paper" to
support their position.
In other words, the Republicans
believed they had found an issue
for the coming political campaigns.

WALLACE:
Makes Up His Mind

Henry A. Wallace resigned from
the Progressive party. In a short
(only two paragraphs) letter to his
former political aide, c. B. Bald
win, he wrote:
'In view of actions recently taken
by the national committee of the
Progressive party and the various
state committees, / am convinced
I can more effectively serve the
cause of peace by resigning from
the national committee a the
executive committee Of the Pro-
gressive party.
"You will, therefore, take this
letter as my formal resignation
from the party"
It was the third time that Wal
lace has broken off political affilia-
tions, and, some observers pointed
out, a confession on his part that
the Progressive party is too left
wing for even his tastes.
He started his political career as
an Iowa Republican. When the New
Deal came into power in 1888, MI.
Wallace became a Democrat, first
as secretary Of agriculture and then
Vice-President of the United States
in Franklin D. Roosevelt's third
term. In 1916 he quit the Democratic
party and his cabinet post. In 1913
he was the Progressive party's
candidate for president. His candi-
dacy, polling 500, 900 votes in New
York, cost MIR. Truman the empire
state but not the election.
In recent days, the question has
been whether Wallace would accept
the Progressive's foreign policy
line, obviously dictated by Commu.
nists in the party.

KOREA:
Showdown Near

On the fifth anniversary Of the
liberation Of Korea from Japan,
Communist and United Nations
troops were involved in a series OF
maneuvers and probing thrusts that
indicated a showdown battle was
near.
In the north the Communists
made their most important gains
with the capture of Pohang and
forcing us. troops to e~vacuate an
important airfield. American and
South Korean forces were in action
against a Red unit west of that city.
In the west, the Communists had
crossed the Naktong river at two
points, north and south Of Taegu.
At n point IL, 200 Red troops had
crossed the river and counter at
lacking Americans attempted to
throw them back with some sue
less.
The Communists were reported
to have $4,000 men massed in that
area for the about drive to push
United Nations forces from Korea.
In the south, us. marines con-
solidated their positions just four
miles outside Chinju and continued
to mop up isolated Red groups cut
off by the American drive.
Military observers reported the
Communist timetable had been up
set by the stubborn defense of us.
and South Korean forces. The Reds
had set August Is as the date for
final victory and their so-caIed lib
Grafton" of South Korea. A final
and desperate attempt to gain that
victory seemed but a matter of
hours.
Meanwhile, American jet fighters
and bombers continued raids on
North Korean installations and
ground positions. One striking
force dropped 625 tons of bombs in
a raid on an oil refinery.
The Navy announced the first
combat use of a new rocket-type
missile, the Tiny Tim, a 11.75-inch
armor-piercing rocket. The rocket
was credited with knocking out Is
Communist locomotives a n d de-
stroying a bridge.
