10 Per Cent Levy
IOn TV Sales Goes
Into Effect Nov. I

Prospective sellers and buyers
of new television sets were con-
fused today by provisions of the
new tax bill relating to the 10
per cent excise levy on sets.
The confusion results from a
provision in the tax bill which
applies only to the TV tax. While
most provisions in the bill were
effective Immediately, and the new
withholding levy increase goes into
effect next Sunday, the item relat-
ling to TV excises is different.
It becomes effective on the first
of the month following expiration
of a To-day period following the
signing of the bill. President Tru-
man signed the bill Saturday,

Leaders of Maryland's Communist
Party contend that terrorism

responsible for the resignation of
two party members.
William B. Coleman and Arthur

recently enacted Cumberland law
which requires Communists to
register.
In a statement yesterday, Philip

party in Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, said the resig-
nations were "a sad commentary
on the times we live in" They
added:
courageous men have divorced
themselves from their beliefs be-
cause of the terrorism being exer-
cised over America by the 1850
version of the Spanish inquisition
(the anti-Communist bill passed

Bradley Urges U. N.
Permanent Force 10
Keep World Peace
By L. Edgar Primo

Gen. Bradley last night called
for a permanent United Nations
armed force to keep the peace.
In a brief address before the
Federal Bar Association in the
Hotel Statler, he declared:
For real peace, we must have a
code of laws. international moral
ity to respect it and a body to en-
force it,
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff said he hopes the
q. d. will profit from the mistake
of the League of Nations and give
the world what is lacking for
peace today-an international law
enforcement body.
Chief Justice Vinson, four other
members of the Supreme Court
and most of the chief judges of
the United States Circuit Courts
of Appeals were in the audience,
which gathered to honor the ju-
dicial conference of the United
States at dinner.
Warns Against Appeasement.
Gen. Bradley said that mo one
can foresee how long it will take"
to win the victory in Korea but
added that I'VE hope we can now
see daylight"
After praising the GIs who bore
the brunt of the early fighting, he
referred the twin-pronged U. N.
offensive and asserted: Now we're
hitting back in combined action of
all our services-all working as
one team"
Gen. Bradley sounded a sharp
warning against the dangers of
appeasement and disarmament.
"Appeasement can only lead to
war, because it leads from one
concession to another" he said.
AS for the limitation of arma-
ments, the general declared:
Disarmament can no more lead
to peace than the aboliShrnent of
the police force and courts can
lead to domestic law and order"
World Backing.
Declaring that in Korea com
munism for the first time resorted
to open military attack to gain its
aggressive ends" Gen. Bradley
said our decision to fight has
gained for us the moral backing
of the free world.
Following Gen. Bradley to the
speakers rostrum was Cody Fow-
ler of Tampa. Fla. the new pres
ident of the American Bar ASsoci-
alton. Toastmaster for the eve
ming was John A. McIntire. Fed

Eclipse Disoppoints Scientists,
But PIeuses Casual Observers

at the top part of the shadow
Scientists guessed it was caused
by a clear spot in the earth S
atmosphere.
The smoke blown down from
the North blacked out any view
of the moon in New York, bring
ing disappointment to scientists
and television engineers, who had
set up rooftop cameras to record
the event for video screens.
A woman in Bluef1eld, w. Va,
where the overcast also was thick
called a newspaper Office to ask if
the eclipse had been postponed.
Started at $3.50 PM.
Although the eclipse actually
started at 800 pm, when the
moon started inching into the
earth's outer shadow. no change
could be noticed until 9:S11a.
That was the actual moment when
the first Of the dark shadow could
be seen.
The moon was totally eclipsed
at 1854 pm, and remained in the
earth's shadow until 11:40 pm.
The moon was again in full view
barring cloud obstructions-at
1902 am.
Scientists said early-day astrol-
.ogers started trying to figure the
regularity of eclipses about 500
BIC. Their predictions started
getting accurate about 100 years
later, and it was then the science
of astronomy began. .
The next total eclipse to be Wis
ible here will be on January 20,
1853. The last was in October,
1949.
