Coffee Is Harmless
To 97% Of Drinkers,

NEW YORK, July 20.-Coffee
is the most popular beverage in
the world. We in the United
States consume half Of the worlds

If yours is one Of the 90 of every
100 American homes where cof-
fee is a daily beverage, you are
probably drinking between ~ and

Is 1t good for you? Bad for
you? Doctors give conflicting
answers:
Coffee keeps you awake; helps
you to sleep quietly: stimulates the
circulation: has no effect on the
circulation: stimulates the ap-
petite; satisfies the appetite: aids
digestion; has no effect on di-
gestion: removes surplus acid from

by joining with one another in q
common effort to provide this de-
fense. This is our best hope for
peace.
The things we need to do to build
up our military defense will require
considerable adjustment in our do
mestic economy. We have a tre-
mendouSly rich and productive
economy, and 1t is expanding every
year.
Our job now is to divert to de-
Tense purposes more Of that tre-
mendous productive capacity more

Fuller Use of Plants.
Some of the additional production
for military purposes can come
from making fuller use Of plants
which are not operating at ca
pacity. But many Of our industries
are already going full tilt, and un-
til we can add new capacity, some
Of the resources we need for the
national defense will have to be
taken from civilian uses.
This requires us to take certain
steps to make sure that we obtain
the things we need for the national
defense, and at the same time guard
against indationary price rises.
The steps that are needed now
must be taken promptly.
In the message which I sent to
the Congress today, I described the
economic measures which are re-
quired at this time.
First, we need laws which will
insure prompt and adequate sup
plies for military and essential
civilian use. I have, therefore,
recommended that the Congress give
the Government power to guide the
flow Of materials into essential uses,
to restrict their use for non-essential
purposes, and to prevent the accu-
mutation Of unnecessary inventories.
Second, we must adopt measures
to prevent imitation and to keep our
Government In q sound financial
condition. One Of the major causes
Of imitation Is the excessive use Of
credit. ] have recommended that

from Gen. Macarthur a few hours
ago:
General Macarthur says:
''It is, Of course. impossible to pre-
dict with any degree of accuracy
future incidents of a military cam
paign. Over a broad front involving
continuous local struggles, there are
bound to be ups and downs, losses as
well as successes. -. But the issue
of battle is now fully Joined and will
proceed along lines of action In
which we will not be without choice.
Our hold upon the southern part of
Korea represents a secure base. Our
casualties, despite overwhelming
odds, have been relatively light. Our
strength will continually increase
while that Of the enemy will rela-
lively decrease. His supply line is in
secure. He has had his great chance
but failed to exploit it. We are now
in Korea in force, and with Gods
help we are there to stay until the
constitutional authority Of the Re-
public is fully restored"
These and other reports I have
received, show that our armed forces
are acting with close teamwork and
efficiency to meet the problems fac
ing us in Korea.
These reports are reassuring, but
they also show that the job ahead
of us in Korea is long and difficult.
Warning of Other Acts.
Furthermore, the fact that Com
muniSt forces have invaded Korea
is a warning that there may be
| similar acts of aggression in other
parts of the world. The free ma
tions must be on their guard, more
than ever before, against this kind
OF sneak attack.
1t is obvious that we must in
crease our military strength and
preparedness Immediately. There
are three things we need to do.
First, we need to send more men,
equipment, and supplies to Gen.
Macarthur.
Second, in view Of the world situ-
alton, We need to build up our own
Army. Navy, and Air Force over
and above what is needed in Korea.
Third. we need to speed up our
work with other countries in
strengthening our common de-
fenseS.
To help meet these needs, have
already authorized increases in the
size of our armed forces. These
increases will come in part from
volunteers, in part from Selective
Service, and in part from the Ma
tional Guard and the Reserves.
have also ordered that military
supplies and equipment be obtained
at a faster rate.
$40 Billion for Arms.
The necessary increases in the
size of our armed forces, and the
additional equipment they must
have, will cost about $40 billion,
and I am asking the Congress to
appropriate the amount required
These funds will be used to train
men and equip them with tanks,
planes, guns, and ships, in order to
build the strength we need to help
assure peace in the world.
When we have worked out with
other free countries an increased
program for our common defense, I
shall recommend to the Congress
that additional funds be provided
for this purpose. This is Of great
Importance. The free nations face
a worldwide threat. It must be
met with worldwide defense. The
United States and the other free
nations can multiply their strength

ment to set limits on installment
buying and to curb speculation in
agricultural commodities. In the
housing field, where Government
credit is an important factor, have
already directed that credit re-
straints be applied, and I have
recommended that the Congress
authorize further controls.
Increases In Taxes.
As an additional safeguard against
imitation, and to help finance our de-
tense needs, it will be necessary to
make substantial increases in taxes.
This is contribution to our ma
tional security that every one of us
should stand ready to make. AS
soon as a balanced and fair tax
program can be worked out. I shall
lay 1t before the Congress. This tax
program will have as a major aim
the elimination of prof1teering:
Third, we should increase the pro-
duction Of goods needed for national
defense We must plan to enlarge
our defense production, not just for
the immediate future, but for the
next several years. This will be
primarily task for our business
men and workers However, to help
obtain the necessary increases, the
Government should be authorized
to provide certain types of financial
assistance to private industry to
increase defense production.
Our military needs are large, and
to meet them will require hard work
and steady effort, but I know that
we can produce what we need IL
each Of us does his part-each man,
each woman, each soldier, each civil
liam. This is time for all of us
to pitch in and work together.
I have been sorry to hear that
some people have fallen victim toI
rumors in the last week or two and
have been buying UP various things
they have heard would be scarce.
This is foolish-and it is selfish, be-
cause boarding results in entirely
unnecessary local shortages.
Calls Hoarding Foolish.
Hoarding food is especially fool
ish. There is plenty of food in this
country. I have read that there
have been runs on sugar in some
cities. This is ridiculous. We now
have more sugar available than
ever before. There are ample sup
plies of our other basic foods also.
I sincerely hope that every Ameri-
can housewife will keep this in
mind when she does her daily shop
ping.
If I had thought that we were
actually threatened by shortages of
essential consumer goods, should |
have recommended that price con-
troll and rationing be Immediately
instituted. But there is no such |
threat. We have to fear only those
shortages which we ourselves arti-
f1cially create.
Every businessman who is trying |
to profteer in time of national
danger-every person who is sell
fishly trying to get more than his
neighbor-is doing just exactly the
thing that any enemy of this
country would want him to do.
If prices should rise unduly be-
cause Of excessive buying or specu-
lation, I know our people will want
the. Government to take action, and
II will not hesitate to recommend
rationing and price control.
Resources To Meet Needs.
We have the resources to meet our
needs. Far more important, the

is the Soviet Union. The Soviet
Union has boycotted the meetings
of the United Nations Security
Council, and it has refused to sup
port the actions of the United Ma
tions with respect to Korea.
The United States requested the
Soviet Government, two days after
the fighting started, to use its in
f1uence with the North Koreans to
have them withdraw. The Soviet
Government refused.
The Soviet Government has said
many times that it wants peace in
the world, but its attitude toward
this act Of aggression against the
Republic Of Korea is in direct con-
tradiction of its statements.
For our part, we shall continue
to support the United Nations ac-
ton to restore peace.
We know that it will take a hard
tough fight to halt the invasion
and to drive the Communists back
The invaders have been provided
with enough equipment and sup
plies for a long campaign. They
overwhelmed the lightly armed de-
fense forces of the Korean Repub.
lie in the first few days and drove
southwark.
Now, however, the Korean de-
tenders have reorganized. and an
increasing number of American
troops have joined them. Our forces
have fought a skillful, rear-guard
delaying action, pending the arrival
of reinforcements. Some of these re-
Inducements are now arriving;
others are on the way from the
United States.
Reads Part Of Report.
I should like to read you part of
report I have received from Gen
Collins, Chief of Staff of the United
States Army. Gen. Collins and Gen,
Vandenberg, Chief of Staff of the
Air Force, have just returned from
an inspection trip to Korea and
Japan.
This is what Gen. Collins has to
say;
United States armed forces in
Korea are giving splendid account
of themselves.
"Our Far Eastern forces were Or
ganized and equipped primarily to
perform peaceful occupation duties
in Japan. However, under Gen,
MacArthur's magnificent leadership,
they have quickly adapted them
selves to meet the deliberately
planned attack of the North Korean
Communist forces, which are we'll
equipped, well-led, and battle
trained, and which have at times
outnumbered our troops by as much
as 20 to l.
"Our Army troops, ably supported
by tactical aircraft of the United
States Air Force and Navy and our
Australian friends, flying under
most adverse conditions of weather,
have already distinguished them
selves in the most difficult of mill
tary operations-a delaying action.
The fact that they are preventing
the Communists from overrunning
Korea which this calculated at
tack had been designed to accom-
plish--iss splendid tribute to the
ability Of our armed forces to con-
vert quickly from the peaceful duties
of occupation to the grim duties of
war.
''Tne task that confronts us is
not an easy one, but I am confident
of the outcome"

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 20
R.-Mayor Hugh Wasson said
yesterday if this city has no legal

The Mayor said he will confer

The move to outlaw communism

at that time. They were here for
other reasons; they came volun-
tarily before Hitler had anything
to do with the present world war.
In many cases some had come
more recently. When possible, for
obvious reasons we tried to get
persons who had left their home
lands recently. We felt they would
be familiar with every phase of the
! idiom and know what happened
6 months ago :. That may have
given rise to the statement that
our personnel was largely composed
of refugees"
The nearest figure can find
is that Short Wave Research, Inc,
brought into the United States 400
aliens in time of war. These aliens
were given positions as writers,
translators, commentators and even
censors on radio. In fact, Amer
leans were put off the air to make
room for some of them
Short Wave Research. Inc, and
the owl were so closely attached
and affiliated that on occasion al
lens and in some cases citizens
were sent by the Owl to Short
Wave for employment by the Owl.
This may sound screwy, so give
you an explanation from the rec
ord:
| q. Because they (OWr wished,
logically enough, to test the value
of man over the air before they
hired him for keeps. AS you know
| if you are employed by the Civil
Service you have tenure, and you
hesitate to deprive a man of his
| job if he is hired permanently so
persons on a trial basis or purely
for part time were frequently sent
| to us. This didn't develop at first,
but only after they required Amer
lean visas. At first they needed
| foreign Language translators. When
the volume grew they wanted nat
urally to test out the suitability
of script writer's, and so forth, and
they asked us if we would pay
those people. f. y
So, here is quiet organization
about which Congress knew moth
ing and the public knew nothing
which set itself up to bring in
aliens-and to give them immed-
late employment on the public pay
roll.
| Here is another index to the
queer things that happened-sc
queer that they are unbelievable
Yet they did happen.
