The following editorial re-
Gently appeared in a Seattle
President Truman is asking
congress to provide S1O,486. 976,e
o0O IN new" military funds.
and to meet part of the reuui-
Sltlon by leVying 5 billion dol
lars In new or increased taxes.
The President wants the 10
billion dollars because, as the
little war" in Korea suddenly
demonstrated, our national de-
tense is inadequate, although
we have expended in four
years of peace so billion dollars
Tor military purposes.
Our unreadineSs to meet
promptly a so-called police
action" in an area as limited
as South Korea indicates that
the administration has made
no wise use of the immense
funds it has already had.
SO the administration wants
more money. to do what it
should have done before.
And, of course, Congress will
assign the funds, if no better
way can be found.
But there is a better way
or at least one that should
have priority.
For how has it happened
that the administration now
calls for war taxes to meet
its military needs?
Actually, we have continued
on a War-taX basis all during
the peace-or cold war;
period.
The excise war taxes have
never been repealed or reduced.
The personal income and cor
poration taxes have remained
at high levels.
Payroll taxes still flow into
the treasury.
Consequently, new war taxes
must be added to the war taxes
already in effect, which have
been retained ever since the
last war ceased.
This happens partly because
of the New Deals gross mis-
management of defense eXpen-
ditureS.
1t happens more largely be-
cause of the New Deals eX-
travagant expenditures for non
military purposes.
ObviouSly-and in view of
the administrations current def
icit-the primary defense need
is to eliminate all unnecessary
expenditures" and put to de
Tense uses the sums retrieved.
If this be done, no tax in
crease would be juStifiable at
this time, since the adminiStra-
ton would have in hand the 5
billion dollars which it seeks
in new taxes.
If the job were well done, the
admins ration might have even
the whole 10 billion dollars de-
sired for military requirements
and perhaps enough besides
to balance the budget.
Until the administration is
willing to make some political
sacrifices for the national Sc
curity, it's demands for sacri-
fices by the public are made
with very i'll grace.
A letter this week from A. J.
Boath of Bremerton, Wash,
former Hardin resident, renewS
his subscription and contains
the following note:
Mrs. Boath has had major
surgery and, too, our son ar
rived this early spring so I've
had much to do.
I'm working at Fort Lawton,
an army post, and like it ex-
tremely well. We continue to
live in Bremerton, however, as
it's quite nice here.
Regards to old friends and
keep the paper coming. We en-
Joy it so much"

Grave Danger COnfrOnts NatiOn'' Says Truman

WASHINGTON, E-An hour of "grave danger" confronts the nation, President Truman told the American people Friday night. He outlined this four-point plan as one to help preserve freedom:
 1. This country will uphold and defend with arms, if necessary, the principles of the United Na- tions."
 The U. S. believes in settling disputes by peaceful means, the President said, but cannot yield to aggression; will not engage in ap- peasement.
 If negotiations are possible, the U. s. will try for settlement to make Korea united, independent and democratic country.
 2. The United States will con- tinue to work with other free na- tons to strengthen joint defenses.
 By working together, the Presi- dent said, free nations can offer a common front, backed by strength and that is necessary if America is to be in a position to negotiate successfully wit hthe Kremlin for peaceful settlements.
 3. The armed forces of the United States will be built up. The U. s. will make more weapons for itself and its Allies. MT. Truman said expansion of American mii- tary power is going ahead very rapidly.
 The country will expand train ing and production facilities to make possible a very quick expan- sion to full mobilization if that be-

Nome To Have Good Roads Assn. Chapter

A special meeting of the Cham Der of Commerce was held last Friday for the purpose of hearing the details about the organization which is forming all over the Ter ritory, The Alaska Good Roads Assn.
 It's aims, according to Herb Hil- scher, public relatios man for the University of Alaska, who brought the information and mate rial for the formation of the local chapter are:
 1. To advocate and encourage the continued improvement of a highway system which will serve adequately and equitably all phases of the commercial, indus trial, agricultural, education l , tourist and recreational activities of the people ofeAlaska.
 2. To cooperate with all agen- cies, groups, and individuals dedi- cated to the advancement of high way ideas and ideals.
 3. To support all worthwhile ideas and activities that contribute to improved safety, economy, and integrity in the construction main tenace, and use of the highway system.
 4. To gather information from available sources concerning high way matters and to disseminate such information.
 No part of the Territory is more conscious to the need of adequate roads than the Second Division, and the group which met Friday noon at the Boring Sea Club soon grasped the significance and im- portance of such an organization here. Steps were immediately taken for the formation of the Nome Chapter. Don Lyle, chair man of the roads committee of the Chamber was elected president of the group; Grant Jackson, vice

Truman PrOclai1ns State of National
 Emergency

WASHINGTON, (R-President Truman Saturday proclaimed a state of national emergency, sum- moning the nation to marshal its strength against the threat of communist world conquest"
 The proclamation called all Americans to a United effort to build up the nations armed forces and throw the "full moral and ma terial strength" of the country into the protection of its freedom. The White House released a long list of laws, carrying extra ordinary powers, which it.said au- tomatically became effective upon signing of the declaration.
 But many of them were merely assertions of powers already held by Mr. Truman under the defense production act and other postwar legislation.
 Further it is uncertain whether Mr. Truman will use some of the emergency powers.
 The proclamation is a part of MT. Truman's effort to get pro- X - ~ duction-speeding, inflation-curb- ing machinery in motion behind a re-armament program aimed at forcing Russia to choose peace in- stead of war.
 In major address Friday night MT. Truman heralded the proola- mation as intended to call on "ev- cry citizen to put aside his per sonal interests for the good of the country"
 He called 1t a first step toward rapid expansion to full mobiliza- ton if that becomes necessary"
 The White House said powers available in an emergency include authority to lengthen hours in army arsenals, to requisition ships, call the coast guard reserve to ac- tive duty make temporary pro- motions in the armed forces, waive competitive bids on defense contracts, and authorize war-risk

Korean Situation
 At A Glance -.
Saturday. December le. 1850 (By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 United Nations forces abandon ed Hamhung today and pulled their northeast Korea beachhead into a tight semi-circle ringing Hungnam, port of the Sea of Ja- pan sim miles southeast of Ham hung.
 The Allied defenders shook off furious Red Chinese assaults, de- scribed as "sea waves" attacks, against their shrinking toehold- The Reds blew bugles and whis- ties as they struck ferociously in great numbers.
 Terror and destruction were ap- parent as the still withdrawing U. S. 10th Corps pulled out of Ham, hung into the crescent-shaped perimeter around Hungnam. The dull thunder of demolition charges was accompanied by huge smoke plumes as the strategic heart of Hamhung was blown up by army engineers.
 Army staff officers said the biz Chinese Red offensive aimed to knockout the 10th Corps may come within the, next 48. hours. While doughboys fought off the communist probing thrusts to find a weak spot, the navy's big guns offshore pounded Red troops swarming along coastal roads con- verging on Hungnam.
 The warships moved up and down the coast, hurling steel at the enemy. Carrier-based war planes buzzed out in murly wea- ther and hit front waves of 1l2, 900 Chinese massed against the beach chad.
 A 10th Corps spokesman said the Chinese attacks were being contained" and described the sit- uation as ssnot disastrous" Army engineers destroyed great stores of supplies to keep them from faIl- ing into communist hands.
 The two-week Hull on the U. S Eighth Army front in West Korea continued, but there was light ac- tion between South Koreans and North Koreans 45 mi .aS northeast of Seoul. The South Koreans re- ported their line .s,;1clfized five miles south of the 38th parallel.

Army Screening LIST
|ToIssue Permanent
Commissary Cards

Increase of military personnel
in the Washington area since the
outbreak of the Korean war has
forced establishment of a wait
ing list for permanent cards at
overcrowded commissaries in and
near Washington.
Maj. Gen. Thomas Herren, COM
mander Of the Military District
of Washington, announced that
current lists are being screened
to eliminate ineligible names, and
new permanent cards are being
issued as rapidly as possible.
Navy Officers Complain.
Meanwhile, there were COM
plants from naval officers that
they can make no purchases at
all until there are vacancies in
the Navy quota, although Army
personnel receive temporary cards
Immediately.
An official Of the Military Dis
trict, which operates five military
stores here, said all services are
treated equally, and that new
comers, whatever their service,
must wait their turn for perma-
nent permits.
These permits can be issued
soon, it was said, although the
task of screening the lists is ex-
tensive. All commissaries are
operating at capacity now and q
further influx is expected, accord
ing to Gen. Herren.
Temporary Cards Issued.
In a formal statement, he said
new applicants must be placed or
waiting lists for cards, but in the
meantime are receiving temporary
cards for purchases on one spe-
cific day a week. Temporary
cards will be replaced as rapidly
as openings become available, he
said.
Congress this year passed a law
authorizing all service personnel
to trade at the five Army COM
missaries, which had been issuing
courtesy cards in the past. Un-
der unification, the Navy was
stopped from operating commits
saries for its own personnel.

as criminal lawyer that led to
his appointment as Roanoke S
commonwealth attorney in 1917
Two years later he was named
tc the bench of the Hastings Court
for the city where he presided un-
til 1922 when he resigned to enter
the race for Congress against the
incumbent, James P. Woods. He
won and was reelected to 10 sue
.ceeding Congresses.
The veteran politician was tall
pleasant looking man, with a
sonorous voice and a rather solemn
manner which did nothing to in
terfere with a friendly personality
AS a congressman, it was his habit
to keep an electric grill and a
coffee pot in his Office, to give him
an early morning start on his col
leagues and his Office staff.
He had a reputation for taking
good care of himself. At one time
his relaxation was golf but that
was discarded in favor of long
walks and occasional workouts in
the gymnasium, which, he said
took up less time. He liked an
occasional movie, was something
of an authority on classical music
and possessed a superior baritone
voice.
He also enjoyed the reputation
of being an able legislator, careful
in his study of prospective laws,
shrewd in committee and impress
sive on the floor. He was accepted
early as a member in good stand
ing of the intimate circle of the
most influential Representatives
led at the time by Nicholas Long
worth and John N. Garner. From
them he learned much of his
political know-how.
When he first entered Congress,
he was appointed to the Civil
Service and Public Buildings and
Grounds Committees, compare
lively minor assignments. In De-
cember. 1929, he won his transfer
to the major assignment of the
Appropriations Committee.
Representative Woodrum was
married in 1905 to Miss Lena
Hancock of Bedford County. They
had two children, Clifton A. Wood
rum, jr., and Martha Anne, who
survive with his widow. He was
a member of the Greene Me-
mortal Methodist Church of Roa-
noke, a 33d degree Mason. past
potentate of the KAHN Temple
and a member of several other
fraternal orders.

Representative Sasscer. Demo-
crat. of Maryland. said today he
favors the principle of pending
legislation to enlarge the scope of
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The measure passed the Senate
more than a year ago and now is
scheduled to be considered by the
House District Committee after
Congress returns from recess
November 27.
Mr.. Sasscer explained he long
has sponsored move looking to-
ward more practical methods Of
linking up action among the Dis
trict of Columbia, and nearby
Maryland and Virginia counties.
Fire Bill Now Law.
One of his bills, for mutual aid
in fire protection became law at
the last session of Congress.
Mr.. Sasscer said he has decided
to support the Senate-passed bill
to expand the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
as it would be helpful in inte-
grating the Metropolitan Area.
It would apply more particularly
to Federal building projects, PLAN
ming and other matters in which
the Federal Government was con-
cerned, he said.
Some questions were raised in
his congressional district of nearby
Maryland, when the park and
planning bill was considered ear
lier, the legislator said. But some
helpful amendments are pending
before the District Committee, he
said, which he feels would improve
the measure to his satisfaction.
Affects His District.
While not a member OF the
House District Committee, Mr..
Sasscer is vitality concerned with
problems Of Washington, particu-
larry as they affect nearby Mary.
