strong reserves, using an entire
new quintet the second quarter
and a combination of the two
teams in the last half, in both
games.

Korean Communists? Why should
they assume that the President
would reverse the Secretary of
States clearly stated policy that
we could not assure the Far East
against attack beyond the line he
indicated?
Third, we withdrew our troops
from Korea and did not give
any substantial arms to the Ko-
reans. Although the President
last year obtained the money to
arm the Koreans against north
ern aggression, he changed that
policy and only undertook to
arm them to prevent border
raids and sabotage, according to
his own statement. OF the mill
lions available, only $500 was
spent even for this purpose. Ger
tainly this fact of our failure to
arm South Korea was one which
invited the attack which has
been made.
FINALLY, the Administration
attitude toward Formosa, so
clearly stated in January of this
year, naturally would lead one to
think that we would not under
take military action in Korea.
Acheson and Connally both took
the position that Formosa had no
military value. Certainly its mill
tary value is greater than that of
Korea. They indicated that we
would not defend Formosa be-
cause it might involve us in war
with Russia. The defense of Ko-
rea is far more likely to involve
us in war with Russia than the de-
fense of Formosa ever was.
Secretary Acheson indicated in
January that we might recognize
the Chinese Communist govern
ment. If the Administration was
contemplating recognition of Com
munist China after they had seized
China, why couldn't the Korean
Communists hope for recognition
after they had seized Korea?
In short, If strong policy had
heretofore been adopted in the
Far East, the North Koreans
never would have attacked. /
welcome the present reversal of
policy, but we should realize
that 1t is a complete reversal Of
Secretary Acheson's entire pre-
vious policy which has so pre-
cipitated the danger of war.
Whether the President chose the
right time for his policy, or the
right place, can be discussed in
the future. At present we must
back with unstinted support
our armed forces where they
have been sent by the President.

TAXES

In the Revenue Act of 1945 re-
ductions were made in corpor-
ate income taxes. The corporate
excess profits tax was repealed
and individual income taxes
were reduced In l948 further
reductions were made in indiv-
idual income taxes. The war ex-
else taxes have been in effect
for nine years during which time
no reductions have been made.
The House, under a closed
rule which forbids the introduc-
ton of any amendments, has
passed a bill to reduce the So
called war nuisance taxes by a
little over one billion dollars. At
the present time there is 20
percent tax on the retail price
of luggage, jewelry, watches,
clocks, furs and toilet prepara-
tions. The House bill cuts this
tax to ten percent or one-half of
the present rate. Testimony be-
fore the Ways and Means COM
mittee clearly indicated that the
20 percent retail tax was having
a serious effect upon the sales
and profits of manufacturers and
sellers of the above item. The

be completely removed from

Lake
Squalter
BY Hank Stern

This is being written in the
middle of the big Fourth of July
weekend. A king-sized thunder
storm just rolled over the lake,
dampening the enthusiasm of the
thousands of holiday visitors.
The quick comeback for which
fishermen are noted, however,
was much in evidence because
they were tossing out their lines
again within five minutes. after
the storm had cleared.
They're catchin' fish, too. The
crappies are still feeding on live
minnows, if you don't fish too
deep. You'll do better if you
keep your bait moving. The blue
gills are hitting worm and arti-
ficial bait in fine style.
DR.. and Mrs. Bill Bryant, OF
Senecayille, fished at my place

They were accompanied by
couple from Newark. The folks
were just starting to get some
encouraging results when Bill
had to leave for his office to see
a patient.

time had to come when we gave
definite notice to the Communists
that further advance would re-
suit in war. believe the general
principle of the Truman policy of
today is right and that we should
back up with every available re-
source the American men in our
armed forces who have been
moved into Korea.
I 1t should be pointed out, how
ever, that the Korean attack is
the direct result of the weak
policy adopted by the Admin
istration in the Far East, par
ticularly in China, Formosa and
Korea.
! AS result we not only invited
attack, but now the President
has to choose an unfortunate time
and undertake very difficult mil
itary operation IN the defense OF
Southern Korea.
/ First, the division of Korea along
the 38th parallel, giving the Rus
SLAMS the northern half OF the
country with most of its industry,
was part of the Yalta-P Potsdam
sympathetic acceptance of Com
munism as a peace-loving philoso-
ply, the great fundamental error
which has made Russia today a
threat to the existence of the world.
| Second, the entire Chinese pol
icy gave basic encouragement to
North Korean aggression. In gen.
eral, Secretary Acheson made II
very clear that our defense line
was Japan, Okinawa and the Phil
ippines, leaving out Formosa and
Korea. If we refused to give mill
tary assistance to Nationalist China
against Chinese Communists, why
should the Korean Communists
think that we would use our troops
to defend Nationalist Korea against
