Hurricane Races For New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (P-The Gulf hurricane roared toward New Or leans today and was expected to strike the Louisiana coast this af- ternoon and reach the Mississippi and Alabama coasts early tonight.
 At 9:3O am. it was centered about 165 miles south-southeast ot New Orleans, the weather bur- eau said.
 Winds up to 95 miles an hour extended outward about 100 miles to the northeast and east of the center. Gales extended out some 250 miles in the northeast quad rant.
 w. R. Stevens, chief forecaster of the New Orleans weather bur eau, said hurricane center is ex- pected to pass a little east of Bur wood, La., this afternoon. Bur- wood is located in Southwest Pass at the mouth of the Mississippi River, some 50 airline miles south of New Orleans.
 Stevens said the hurricanes center would reach the Mississip- pi and Louisiana coasts early to- night.
 He said winds will increase to- day, reaching hurricane force from New Orleans to Panama City, Fla, this afternoon or to- night.

Social Security Benefits----Taxes Greatly Enlarged

WASHINGTON, P-President Truman Monday signed the re- vised social security bill adding approximately 10,OO0,00O persons to the old age pension rolls.
 The, White House indicated there would be statement later.
 MT. Truman has expressed strong objections to one part of the measure as it went through Congress. That is a provision Him. iting the power of the secretary of labor to cut off unemployment in- surance funds from states whose systems he holds do not conform to federal standards.
 The millions of additional work CTS will come under the old age benefit program and begin paying payroll taxes next January 1.
 Persons now retired will start getting bigger checks a few weeks hence, in October.
 The new law also more than doubles payroll taxes over the next 20 years, to help pay for the larger benefits. The payroll taxes will increase from $2,500, ,000, ,0O0 this year to about $7,SOO, 1000, ,O00 in 1870.

a great Arab horse.
"The head" he answered. "The
Arab must have noble head. You
will notice that his eyes are much
larger than those of any other
strain, and are packed with fire
and intelligence. He is much,
much more intelligent than any
other thoroughbred. His ears
must be small. pointed, and
slightly turned in, and he must
have dark coloring under his eyes
and on his muzzle. And the finest
ones have very little hair between

should know. With most of the
world to pick from, the Royal
Society of Agriculture Of Egypt
chose the general to head the
stud for thoroughbred Arab
horses. The Society formed the
stud when it realized that due to
World War II and the changing
conditions of the Bedouins in
Arabia and Mesopotamia, the
Arab strain was threatened with
extinction.
The general. for many years
head of the Hungarian national
stud, fled his native country just
before the Russians entered Buda-
pest, and by a near miracle man
aged to get some 1000 head of
Arab stations and mares into the
American zone of Germany. From
Germany the general travelled to
Switzerland and then came to
Egypt at the Society's request.
They Aren't Pampered.
The stud farm here is right
smack in the Arabian desert and
the horses are being reared under
exactly the same conditions that
the Arab horse has thrived on for
centuries and centuries. They
know the blazing sun by day and
the bitter chill of the desert by
night. There is no pampering.
One Of the chief reasons for the
decline Of the Arab horse in this
section of the world is mechanical
ton and more stable frontiers.
The Bedouins now have jeeps,
tractors and passenger cars and
are not solely dependent on their
horses. Too, with the frontiers
more stable, they do not have to
wander as much as they once did,
or fight as much, and their lives
are not so closely linked with the
quality Of their horses.
The society sends out expedi-
tions into Arabia and Mesopotamia
in search of great stations and
mares. The last expedition was
gone eight months, into the far
reaches Of the desert, travelling
mostly by camel. and returned
with only two horses, although
dozens Of tribes had been visited.

After establishing themselves az

Seoul government interesting bits
of information that proved accu-

creating a false sense of security
in the south during the weeks

Southern Forces Shaky.
From the very start of the in

South Korean forces, which had
never had combat training under

They abandoned important posi-

OGllIllGe CASUALTIES.
Prior to the Korean crisis Re-
publicans were optimistic about
their chances to capture control
of Congress, at least the Senate.
Now they frankly don't know.
Prior to the Korean crisis, Dem
ocrats had planned a hard-fought
Fair Deal attack with President
Truman leading the charge. Now
they can't see the President cam
paigning at all. except possibly
in Missouri.
Issues Look Impractical.
Republicans had thought their
best issues were Senator McCar-
thy's charges of communism in
the administration, peace, eco
nomy and lower taxes. These now
seem impractical.
Democrats had expected to
shoot the works for the Brannan
Plan, health bill, aid to educa-
ton, more public power and all
the other trappings of a bigger
and better America as outlined
by the President last spring. They
presently concede that the Bran
nan Plan is out in a war eco
nomy and that people will be
concerned chiefly with how that
economy is run.
The primaries so far appear
contradictory. Senators are wor-
ried. Four incumbents have bit
the dust: Senators Graham, Pep
per and Downey Downey did not
choose to run when faced with
determined opposition) all Demo-
Gratis, and Gurney, Republican.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma is
going into a run-off in second
place and Senator Johnston, of
South Carolina, is in a tough fight.
But Democratic headquarters
reports that all House incumbents
who have sought denomination
have succeeded. This is most un-
usual.

which spent more than a year
in the desert without finding one
superior horse. But the expedi-
ton was suspected of spying and
so had to buy several inferior
animals to keep from being ar
rested.
Tribe Name Entered.
incidentally, each Bedouin tribe
raises a slightly different breed
of thoroughbred and the tribe
name is always included along
with the thoroughbred's dam and
sire. For example, Nazir was bred
by the Hadban Anzah tribe. and
in the stud book his breeding
reads: "Nazir-Hadban Anzah-by
Mansoor out of Samiha."
The world in general thinks of
the Arab thoroughbred, particu-
larly the stations, as vicious.
They aren't at all. For centuries
their home has been right in the
tents Of their Bedouin owners
and so they have become accus-
toned to humans. and are great
pets. When we left the stud farm
scores of the mares and stations
followed us like dogs, nuzzling us,
wanting to be patted and given
sugar. The general said the
American and English thorough
breds were the mean animals.

1t may be hard for our people
to see the possibilities of such a
program because, with all the i'm
proved living conditions that we
enjoy we have taken for granted
for so long things that are not
even known in many parts of the
world-and that may be reflected
IN Congress. Their introduction
thus far has made friends for us,
as 1t will continue to do. Likewise,
economic improvements will open
markets for us and other highly
industrialized nations in the North
Atlantic community, and give us a
well new sources of supply for
raw materials with improved
methods Of producing them else
where.
This is long time process, no
quick salvation. But, in the end,
it should help immeasurably to
save our sort of free civilization.
Congress surely will override the

columnlStS VINO USED their posi-
tions to help the invaders.
We cannot be too critical of this
condition, since the Army high
command during World War II
removed the ban on using Com
munists in the sensitive branches,
such as intelligence and cryptog-
raphy.
AS soon as the South Koreans
were driven back. the fifth COL
umnists went to work. They
shouted defeat everywhere and
caused whole units-which might
have delayed the enemy until
American forces could reach the
battleground-to desert en- masse.
They urged surrender because
Seoul, the capital. had been cap
tured and the government had to
flee.
How u. S. Troops Were Trapped.
Units which had been ordered to
blow up bridges to retard the
Northerners' advance ran away or
surrendered without accomplish
ing that mission. When a few
American troops reached the
front. fifth columniSts and spies
in South Korean uniforms passed
to the Reds information on the
numbers and positions of Ameri-
can troops. Our weak units Thus
were trapped.
American counterespionage, now
active in South Korea, faces great
difficulty in cleaning up these
spies and fifth columnists. 1t is
impossible to differentiate between
North and South Koreans, be-
tween the quislings and loyal per-
sons.
The bulk of the South Korean
army has dispersed. Many of
the troops have taken to the
mountains and the woods. But it
is a trying job to discover the
spies when they are dressed in
South Korean uniforms, speak
the same language and can claim
to be returned soldiers" who were
cut off from their units and were
returning to fight. Others pre-
tended to be workers and farmers
rushing to enlist for the defense
Of their country.
A similar condition is expected
to arise in Indo-C China, Iran and
other parts of Asia where Mos
cows agents have inflltrated since
the end Of the war and have laid
the foundation for wholesale trea-
son and sabotage in preparation
for "the day"
The experiences in the war be-
tween the Chinese Nationalists
and the Communists have shown
clearly the deadly effects of we'll
organized fifth columns.

to communism and weakens their
resistance to Communist inf1ltra-
ton as well as to fragrant ag-
gression such as that in Korea
which may happen again in
cloaked operations of Russia
through Communist stooges.
Program to Be Balanced.
To check the threat of aggres-
sion we have our own military
program, which is to be stepped
up, and our military aid to the
North Atlantic pact nations and
others. For the corollary, long
term job of improving economic
conditions among the free nations,
which we share also to a degree
with the United Nations, we have
undertaken other enterprises. The
two form a balanced program, and
we want to keep it in balance.
Among economic measures, aside
from the familiar and vast ECA
program, there is the so-called
Point -Four program. That is for
technical assistance Of all sorts
to undeveloped nations to help
them improve living conditions by
undermining agricultural and in
dustrial methods, providing new
food facilities, stamping out dis
ease, in short, to make their lands
more livable. AS one high official
here puts it:
you've got to give people some
thing to live for"
A man whose work carries him
all about the world. he said that
nothing had so raised the spirits of
people elsewhere as the Point -Four
program, its aims and its poten-
tialities.
Relatively inexpensive.
1t is a relatively very inexpen-
sive program. President Truman
asked Congress for $45, 900, 900 for
it. In the authorization bill Con-
gress reduced this to $35, 900 900.
But now, in the necessary bill ap-
propriating the funds, this was
slashed to 10000, 900 by the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee.
Why, it is hard to understand.
The United Nations has a SIM
liar program of its own in which
SIC, 100000 was to be spent, of
which the United States had
pledged so per cent or $12,O07, 500.

Dated Dollars
 Prove Nemesis

That old joke about "you can have the coin l found if you give me the date on it" isn't so funny to three youths of Kodiak who Sunday stole some silver dollars from a home only to learn too late that the owner had memorized the dates on almost every piece.
 ] The robbery occurred Sun- day at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. T. T. Jackson, while they were attending an after noon show. On their return they discovered the loss of about $50, a fountain pen, 8 packages of cigarettes and a f1ashlight.
 When reported to the Mar shal's office and city police, Mrs. Jackson. who had made no special effort to learn the dates, was able to supply most of them from memory. Lists of the dates were made and, supplied to local merchants. On Monday a dollar showed up at one of the local stores with a corresponding date, but nothing was done until a sec- ond dollar appeared also with a date on the list, passed by the same youths.
 Taken into custody, police said one of the boys had the fountain pen on him and more of the dollars. They at first denied knowing anything a. bout the theft but when con- fronted with all the evidence
