Demand Reduced Spending Before Adding MoreTaxes

WASHINGTON, (P)-The U. s. Chamber of Commerce called on Congress yesterday to cut govern ment spending for non-military purposes by at least six billion dollars before it considers taxing excess profits of corporations.
 Ripping into administra t i o n proposals for a 75 per cent tax on abnormal business profits, Ells- worth C. Alvord, chairman of the chambers finance committee, de- clared it was impossible to devise a workable excess profits tax to produce the four billion dollars yearly asked by President Tru- man.
 Alvord set forth the chambers views in a statement for the House ways and means commit tee, which is winding up hearings on the profits tax proposal which MT. Truma nsays is necessary to finance the expanding defense program.
 As business wheeled it's biggest guns into the hearings, Democrats on the tax-writing ways and means committee continued to hold firm rein on Republican ef- forts to discuss substitutes for the administration plan.
 COP committee members are plugging for a rise in the corpo- rate income tax rate or a combin- ation of that with an excess pro- fits tax. But the Democrats are sticking by a mandate from the House to draw up an excess pro- fits tax bill.

 Ut was fine old competitive spirit" decalres C. S. Reed, who operated a store at Dillingham;.
 Now things have changed. Many ESkimos have begun mail ing their furs to the big money or der companies in the States. Air mail being what it is they soon have their checks in hand.
 Local traders have reS-r.ed 10 a new strategy. When Wassilie Snowfall or another trapper turns up to cash his check the trader tells him nothing doing.
 "No good?" queries the Eskimo.
 Sure, it's good. Send it to the mail order company and let them cash it for you," the trader re- ttrts.
 After a few such experiments the hapless trapper is happy to Geal with the trader on the old competitive scale, if he can get

"Why, one man worked in the cannery several years and ended up with three social security numbers, With So many names my books are a mess. and now l have 70 compete with the mail order firms and cash their check to boot"
 The trader, who has to pay high air freight costs on the marchan- disc a,ld supplies flown into his remote home must make a higher profit on the furs to get by.
 The Outside mail order firm has no such problem. But if they want western Alaska pelts they may have to dispense with checks and send the Eskimos hard cash for their furs.
 More important to Wassilie Snowfall than high prices is his winter grubstake. That's one thing he can't get by mail, no matter how many beaver he traps.

WASHINGTON, (R - Front line soldiers are going to look more like that rival outfit the Ma rines.
 The army announced yesterday it has ordered new combat uni forms of dark olive green to re- place present olive drab ones as they wear out.
 A spokesman, without the flick of an eye toward the Marines greens, said the new army uni form has a better design and bet ter camouflage properties than the present battle dress.
 The army is also working on new garrison uniform for inspec- tions, parades and desk work. It hasn't made up it's mind on whe- ther to have blue-grey or grey green.

WASHINGTON, (R) - The air force reported today that B-29 su- perfortresses dropped 3.500,000 fire bombs on ground support tar gets in North Korea during inten- sive air preparation for the cur rent United Nations offensive.
 An air force spokesman said the long-range bombers had pre- viously eliminated strategic tar gets in Korea. Like other United Nations planes, they are forbidden to cross the Manchurian- Korean border to reach more distant sources of communist military supplies.
 Since Nov. 5, the air force spokesman said at the regular Pentagon briefing, the B-29's have eliminated 18 tactical targets. These including enemy supply centers, troop concentrations and command posts.

Atlantic Pact Council
Called Plan.
For European Defense
BY the kssocioied Press

The 12-nation Atlantic Pact
Council was called together today
to give final approval to a secret
defense plan for protecting West
ern Europe against possible ag-
gresSion.
Secretary of State Acheson,
representing the United States.
was to preside at the session which
opens at $3.50 pm. in the State
Department.
The meeting marks the third
time the council has convened
since the IL Western governments
banded together in a formal de-
tense alliance last April.
Government officials forecast
quick approval for the defense
plan, which was to be the main
order Of business. Top military
leaders of the Allied governments
gave it their approval last
December in Paris.
Defense Pool Reported.
Generally the plan is reported
to call for alf pact governments
to pool their defense forces to
fight off any Russian attacks
against the North Atlantic area.
The French Army, the biggest of
the Western land forces on the
continent, is reported assigned
the primary defense role in the
initial stages of any possible con-
f1ict. The British and American
navies are to control the sea lanes
and to join in strategic and tacti-
cal bombing support.
AS soon as the council gives its
final approval to the document.
it will be sent to the White House
for President Truman's consider
alton.
The President must be satisfied
that the defense plan gives proof
that the Western European gov
ernments are prepared to fit their
defense forces together before he
can use American money to send
arms and equipment to them.
Funds Ordered Frozen.
Congress provided that $780,
100000 of the 81 ,000, 900 900 1t ap-
propriated to rearm Western Eur
ope is to be frozen until the
Atlantic pact governments formal
ly promise to pool their fighting
strength on a co,ordinated scale.
No weapons, munitions or sup
plies of any kind have been
shipped to Western Europe under
the pact. The main reason for
this is that Britain has baked at
the terms proposed for American
military aid.
Government officials said Brit
aims objections now appear to
have been overcome and that an
arms aid agreement with the
British can be expected within
the next week or 10 days.

features at comparatively low cost.
The milking parlor has stalls for
six cows at time and three milking
machines are used. The other three
cows are either being prepared for
milking or stripped while three are
being n1ilked.
The barn cost about $4,000 with
about $1,000 of this for labor on
the concrete work. The concrete
floors are four to six inches thick
and have built-in cutters and drains.
A water type cooler is used, but
walk-in refrigerator is planned in
the future. The rate of milking in
the barn is about "a cows an hour.
So the herd of 81 are taken care of
in about 20 minutes. The cows are
MIXED at $40 in the morning and
4:30 in the afternoon. They produce
about 20 gallons of milk per. day.
The rate of pay at the time of this
visit was $1.3S per pound of butter

A family of four with an income
of $500 paid Sl,79892..
In addition, these family groups
paid out Federal taxes for other

These totaled little less than $4
billion and included such acti-
vities as arms to friendly nations,
stockpiling of raw materials and
atomic energy projects. But they

Electric Power
Supply is Ample

The Miami Valley has plenty
of electric power to meet any
foreseeable demand because OF
stepped up production for nation
al defense. This statement was
made today by Kenneth c. Long,
president of The Dayton Power
and Light Company.
The construction of the o. H.
Hutchings generating station IL
miles south of Dayton, since the
end of World War ii has already
brought 100000 additional kilo-
watt capacity to the d. P. & L.
system. Another 10000 kiloWatt
generator will go on the line in
late fall and will be followed by
a fourth early in 1851.
At this time the utility COM
pany's engineers estimate a peak
demand of 325,000 kilowatts for
1850. Capacity by the end of this
year will be $4,000 kilowatts-
10000 kiloWatts at Hutchings
station and 10000 kilowatts at
the F. M. TAFT station. This leaves
a reserve of $4,000 kilowatts
which will be increased in early
1851 by the installation of an
other $4,000 kilowatt generator.
Leaders of the electric utility
industry throughout the nation
generally report their ability to
meet the increased demands of
industry. Electric generating
capacity for the nation is today,
67-12 million kilowatts, nearly
double that available in 1941. Of
this amount eighty percent is pro-
vided by private companies. A
12-billion expansion program will
add Is million more kiloWatts by
1853.
Many industries now operating
on a one-shift basis will not re-
quire a greater generating capa-
city when they go to two or
three shifts.

Farm Products Go Into Candy

Your sweet tooth should be
getting some fancy new taste
treats pretty soon.
Candy makers and the U. S.
Department of Agriculture are
turning out mountaineering new
kinds of candies using many diff
ferent farm products.
Among them are a new honey
and-skim-milk powder, oat flour,
and products from soy beans, cot
tonseed, sunflower seed, wheat,
peanuts, rice, and whey, About
3 billion pounds of farm products
are used each year to make
candy.
The candy industry and USDA
are seeking to further improve
the taste, texture, and keeping
qualities of candy, using farm
grown ingredients. Since this
work began in l943, about 35 diff
ferent new kinds of candy-mak-
ing materials have been tried out
experimentally for a wide variety
of candies by USDA scientists
cooperating with the National
Confectioners' Association.
One recent discovery is a new
powder made of 55 percent honey
solids and the rest dried skim
milk. Hand-rolled creams con-
tanning 10 percent of this mix
ture proved suitable for choco-
late dipping. The powder also
made good brittle candy, and
scientists now are trying this pro-
duct in other kinds of candy.
They find that oat flour helps
the keeping quality of caramels,
with S percent of the fine oatmeal
giving best results.

At THE TIME this is written,
some of the more astute men,
bers of our congress are begin
ming, at long last, to recognize the
wisdom of enlisting the services
of Japan and West Germany in
Democracy's fight for life.
The str ronge 1t arguments
against arming large forces in
these nations are that they
may turn against us later on.
or that they may be conquered
by the Red armies which
would then acquire all the arms
and equipment with which
these forces had been supplied.
but opposed to this danger. is
the fact that right today. if a
large force of Chinese Reds
joined the North Koreans. they
could probably push us out of
Korea and invade and conquer
Japan. Also it must be remem-
bered that a comparatively in
significant force could take
over west Germany without
much difficulty. The Germans
are unarmed and the u. S.,
British and French forces there
are small.
We must-some day - realize
that a vast army of Russians and
Chinese could conceivably attack
Canada and the u S. through
Alaska. With a militarily power
full Japan on our side, and OF
course a strong u. S. and Canada
such an attempt would not even
be considered. But with Japan
on the side of our enemy it would
be considered.
Now comes the big question
Would rejuvenated and strong
Japan remain a Democracy, or
would it eventually join the Com
munist world? That is anybody's
guess. But the Japanese are an
extremely Independent people
they would abhor Kremlin dom
ination, and they don't like the
Chinese. They probably don't
love us, but their independence
could be maintained only be sid
ing with the Democracies.
It would seem a risk which
must be taken; otherwise we
must maintain a huge army in
Japan to fend off certainly
contemplated invasion from the
mainland.
The japanese are an unbelieV-
ably industrious people.

One high school course that
pays immediate dividends in
dollars and cents Gas well as
sense) is the driver training
course which has been established
in many Ohio high schools with
the cooperation of the American
Automobile Association.
The dollars and cents pay-off
comes in the form of savings in
auto insurance premiums if the
teenagers have learned to drive
by taking the approved course in
high school.
The Farm Bureau Insurance
companies in Ohio found after q
careful study of accidents in
which automobiles insured by
their company were involved
that the group of drivers under
the age of 25 were having more
than their share. AS a result the
company recently announced {
rate increase in those cases where
anyone driving the car to be in
sured was in the 25-or-under age
group.
At the same time the com
pany's research showed that those
teenagers who had taken the ap'
proved driver training course ir
high school had achieved an en-.
viable safety record. Thus if the
car to be insured is to be driver
by someone who learned to drive
by taking the course in schoo
then the increased premium i!
waived and only the regular rate
is charged.
The driver training course il
Ohio's high schools is usually
established by cooperative effor
of the school board, the AAA, anC
the local automobile dealers as
sociation. The school supplies th'
instructor, the students, and in
