The December issue of "The Am erican Legion Magazine" contains an article by Dr. J. B. Matthews which every American parent should read and ponder. It is en- titled, The Commies Go After the Kids" and begins with this dog gerel, issued by Peoples Songs, Inc, whose national director was Peter Seeger. On the national board of di- rectors were Tom Glazer, Horace Grenell, Willard Lampell, Earl Rob- inscn, Kenneth Spencer, John Ham, mond, Jr., Alan LomaX. Peoples Songs, Inc, has now gone out of

the Chinese grapevine on November that they had landed in Commun- ist territory, were alive and in good health. This was confirmed by ad- ditional reports on January IT and March g, 1949.
 A Communist agent, representing
 the pairs captors, got in touch with the Navy by letter and offered to negotiate their freedom. He re- ported that Bender and Smith had been moved from Hsia Tien to Nan Tsun, China, about February 15 The Navy delivered a written document, asking for their release, received an answer that the Navy would be put in touch with the highest authorities" However, no further further word came through, so the Navy turned the matter over to the State Department. That began the series of notes to Chin csc Communist officials.
 Finally Mrs. Smith on July 23, 1949, appealed to Congress.
 AS the Navy has evacuated China, my husband has been left behind without supplies and medi- cine" Mrs. Smith pleaded T have never been able to correspond or send him supplies. have two small children, one his father has never seen. My children need their father as I need him."
 Can't Even ssrite Families On August, 4, Ernest A. Gross, Assistant Secretary of State, in- forming Congress:
 ed Congress:
 Our diplomatic and consular of- ficials in China are doing everything possible to secure information concerning the welfare of Mir Smith and MT. Bender and to secure their return. A message just received from the American Consul General at Peiping states that he has at tempted further approach to the authorities there"
 One month later, Gross promised again: "The matter is again being brought to the attention of the highest Chinese Communist au- thorities at Peiping"
 Another month passed. On Oct ober 18, Gross reported sadly: "The Consul at Tsingtao on October 10, 1949, addressed an informal mem orandum to the local Communist authorities stressing the humanitar- ian aspects of the two eases. This approach was without satisfactory response from the local authorities who were instructed to inform the Consul that they no longer knew the whereabouts of MT. Smith and Mrs. Bender"
 Latest word from the State De- partment said: On November 25, 1949, our Consul General at Pelp- ing sent a letter to Chou en-Lal who is in charge of the foreign re- lations of the recently established Chinese Communist regime request ing that he cause an early lnves- tigation of the matter to be made to the end that the men be per- mitted to communicate with their families regarding their personal welfare"
 Note-What the State Department is up against, of course, is the impossibility of sending armed force into China to rescue two men. However, it would seem that It should not have required year to ask the Communist Foreign Min ister that the men have the priv ilege of writing their families.

taxing purposes as means of bring
ing greater equity and justice in the
property tax system. (See SB34 un-
der Gerald Hughes, Page 81.
These improvements are offered
as sound alternatives to the regres-
sive sales tax still being pushed by
few people as the way to get the
several millions of additional needed
dollars.
The Committee recommends chang
ing the tax rates on the present state
personal income tax law from l to
per cent on the first eight thous-
and of net income to to per cent.
The suggested change would apply
as follows: a tax of 1 per cent on
the first thousand of net income;
tax of 2 per cent of the second thous-
and of net income; a tax of per
cent on the third thousand of net
income and so on to per cent on
the eighth thousand and over of
net income. The present law applies
per cent of tax on the first two I
thousand of net income; 2 per cent |
on the next $4,000 to $4,000 of net
income; per cent on the next $4,-
600 to $4,000 of net income; and 4
per cent on all net income over that.
In the new proposal, exemptions

The annual production is therefore
now considerably lower than be-
fore the war. During the same
time the population has increased,
and while the cattle products be-
fore the war normally covered the
whole demand, there is now a rel

pecially meat and other cattle

Health Insurance Societies

1t is up to the citizen himself
whether he wants to enlist as
member of one of these societies
or not, but membership is a nee
essary condition for the eventual
receipt of old age or invalidity
pension. One condition for the right
to share in the benefits granted
by the health insurance societies
is. that the members income does
not exceed the average yearly in
come of a workman, that is at
present about 5000 Kr. Other
persons may enlist as passive
members. being then entitled to
be transferred to the list of regular
members, if their economic cir
cumstances are altered. They may
also become members of the So
called Health Insurance Associa-
tons which function on strict
insurance principles, and fro m
these associations, members whose
incomes fall below the above men,
toned limit may be transferred
to one of the societies. About "a
million are at present active MEM
bers; this number corresponds to
some 500 of the population over
Is years of age. Health insurance

duced prices. Daily allowances to
