HELP OFFERED IN
INCOME TAX
BOOKLET

For the third successive year,
Uncle Sam is coming to the res
cue of Florida income taxpayers
with booklet describing what
should and should not be paid to
the United States next year in the
form of 1850 income taxes, ac-
cording to information received
here from the Miami District Of
flee of the u. S. Department Of
Commerce.
The booklet, entitled "Your In
come Tax-195O", available at the
u. S. Department of Commerce,
947 Seybold Building in Miami,
will be a welcome asset to Flori-
dians this year, because of the
heavier "bite" the Federal Gov
ernment has taken, and is taking,
out of their incomes received this
year and their desire to cut all
corners possible in theri 1850 pay
ments, Marion A. Leonard, Com
merce Department district mana
ger in Miami, said.
"The United States Govern
ment wants every penny due it
from income tax payers under the
Federal income tax law, but it
does not want one single penny
not due it," Mr.. Leonard explain
ed. "This booklet just issued will
incorporate the amendments to
the income tax law adopted at last
summers session of Congress, and
it would be advisable for all tax
payers to know just where they
stand before paying their 1850
taxes"
The Federal Governments
booklet "Your Federal Income
Tax" has been a 'best seller" ov-
er the nation for the past three
years, and the Government Print
ing Office in Washington, the
worlds largest printer, is prepar-
ing for another heavy demand
this year by ordering some 2OO,-
900 copies of the publication.

about complete. They have sue
ceeded in generating a wave OF
unpopularity for gallant Harry
Truman that he will be powerlesS
to overcome. He and his support
ers will have to be content with
the consolation of knowing that
he tried valiantly; but the tides
were against him.
The anti-Negro elements in
Congress were too powerful to be
denied. But their victory is prov
ing to be disastrous one. While
killing off Truman attention was
being diverted from the threat of
communism. So it has come about
that disaster is facing our gallant
boys in bloody Korea which dis
aster might have been averted
had our congressman concentrat-
ed on the Russians and commun-
lists as they concentrated on hap
less Harry Truman and the Ne
groeS.
Killing Harry Truman was the
best way to kill off the civil
rights program he had projected
and espoused so manfully. The
real stab was at the Negro and
the slaughter of Truman was in
cidental. But what a price the
nation is being called upon to pay
for the political reckleSsness that
eventuated into the political des-
truction of Harry Truman and the
retardation of the Negro in his
struggle against a second rate cit
izenship.
The moral disaster here at home
is equally as distressing as on
disaster abroad. The ma
ton not only is unprepared, but
it is divided. Everybody is COM
ing forward with bitter criticisms
of the Truman administration.
They are not only willing to kill
Truman but they want to "kill
him dead" Taft and company will
never cooperate for an all-out
against the Russians for fear the
truman administration Will get
the credit.
1t is just as well for us to know
that while they are busy killing
Truman they are exposing our
great nation to irreparable disaS-
ter. This writer has said many
times before that this country
cannot hold the Negro down with
one hand and hold the Russians
back with the other. Beating back
Russians and their communism is
a two-handed task and the SOON
er this nation wakes up to this
solemn fact the sooner are we
ready for that all-out mobilization
without which we are doomed.
The dixiecrats and their Taft-led
collaborators should be warned
that it is later than they think.
Their victory could be disastrous.

a DISASTROUS VICTORY

President Truman has fought
gamely, but the cards seem stack
ed against him. It is becoming
more and more apparent that his
traducers and hecklers have sue
ceeded in putting him on the de-
fenSive. The anti-Truman forces
have rallied behind the dixiecrats
and led by Robert Taft the re-
dictionary republicans and their
abetters have made common cause
In the general defeat of Truman.
Even a casual observer need no
longer doubt that Truman's presi-
Dental sun is in eclipse to be to-
tai ere the coming of 1852. Tru-
man has tried hard and to his
credit it must be said he is not
q Quitter; but the battle he was
fighting was a losing one. He
dared to stand up and be counted
as favoring the civil rights of Ne
groes and this spelled his politi-
cal doom.
Truman is one of the worlds
martyrs! He died politically for a
principle that will distinguish or
destroy our country. He took his
constitution seriously and herein
lay his downfall. Had he been
political two-timer and turn-coat
and opportunist, his way would
not at present be so rocky. There
can be little doubt left that those
who are seeking his political life
are about to gain their sordid OBJ
-iective.
The once confident and cour-
ageous Truman is definitely ner-
vouS and irritable as his OCCASION
al verbal outburStS so definitely
indicate. But his real friends will
understand. They will not hold
his present embarrassment as of
his own making. He tried bravely
to stem the tide but it is running
too strong against him. His great
crime was his stand on civil rights
as they pertained to Negroes. De-
manding civil rights for the Ko-
reans and the do-Chinese would
have been perfectly safe or even
for the Germans our erstwhile
enemies.
but when it comes to civil rights
Tor Negroes this nation will have
none of it. 1t must be said in fair
ness, however, that the nation
showed how it felt on the matter
when it voted him into office in
1948. But when the dixiecrats and
reactionary republican congress-
men went into a huddle, the goose
was cooked forthwith.
Their victory over Truman is

The political differences which
exist between west and east are
heightened by, and perhaps even
derived from mutual fear, sus-
picion and recrimination. This is
no atmosphere in which to bring
about agreement.
Mutual Trust
The United Nations seeks peace
in the only way peace can be Sc
cured in the presence of sharp con-
flicts among nations; by attempt
ing to create those minimum con-
ditions of mutual trust and conf
dence which are indispensable to
the peaceful dissolution Of differ
ence by negotiation, mediation and
Cancellation.
In this growing enlightenment
the United Nations has played an
important role with it's cardinal
principal Of equality of peoples and
its great emphasis on human dig
nifty.
The wise and realistic statesmen
who helped to formulate the char
ter of the United Nations were
| acutely aware that in order to
build peaceful world it would be
necessary to accord sympathetic
support to the aspirations of the
subject and colonial people.
Colonialism is being liquidated;
the trend is striking. Ten years
ago the total number Of subject
peoples in the world was in the
neighborhood of 750,0O0,OOO. To-
day that figure has been reduced
to less than 200,OOO,OOO.
Further reduction is in the i'm
mediate offing, with firm and
concrete promise already made by
the United Nations to the peoples
Of Libya and Somaliland, and with
strong nationalistic movements.

The regional education program

upon this year only by A. B. Bonds.

disclaimed that the aim of the plan
has ever been to get around the
Supreme Court rulings and cited
the Improvement of the social and
economic level of the southern re-
gion as the motivating factor.
Any thought of creating equal
out-of-state facilities for Negroes
even If it were contemplated, he
asserted, would be killed by the
courts before the first brick could
be laid" Of course, he continued
the Board of Control obviously
must serve in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the states
and institutions in the area if il
is to serve at all.
In the first years operation of
the plan places for 1888 students

vlded under regional contracts, Mr..
