During World War II at its
peak" it explained, I'VE allocated
more than 40 per cent of our total
output to primary military pur-
poses; and yet. we emerged from
that terribly costly struggle with a
more powerful and productive
economy than we had ever known
before.
I'm contrast, at the present
time, we are devoting only about
7 per cent of total output to
primary military purposes. If
other outlays related to the inter-
national situation are included,
the percentage rises to only about
812 per cent.
THE concentration of our pro-
ductive efforts upon defense OBJ
jectives could rise far above this
point, and we could still maintain
a vigorous national economy

mands upon IT.

The Council stresses that we

we must make far more rigorous

'Cominform Journal
Intimates Battles
Lie Ahead in Europe
By the Assoeia,ed Press

VIENNA, Austria, Dec. 30.-
Are> the Russians planning ag-
gressiye acton in Europe in 1851?
Certain Western diplomats in
Vienna said today the latest issue
of the Cominform's weekly jour-
nal appears to be preparing West
European Communists for pos
sible Soviet action.
A trend toward militancy was
noted. But the diplomats stressed
it is difficult to discern the true
meaning of some Communistic
double talk in the journal, which
Is issued in is languages.
Articles referred repeatedly to
"the tasks and struggles" that lay
ahead for the Communists.
Austrian Predicts Battles.
Typical was a piece by Johann
Koplenig, chairman of the Aus
trian party, saying:
"All the facts of international
life. as well as the situation in
Austria. show that we are on the
eve of big battles, of battles on a
greater scale"
Koplenig said Austrian Com
munists must be ready in all
respects to meet these battles" :"
It has not been unusual for
the journal to refer to the tasks
ahead" Previously, they always
have been found to refer to local
jobs of the Communist parties in
organizing and propaganda.
The Western observers cited
repeated references to battles of
the future in articles dealing with
the December 30 commemoration
of the 30th anniversary of the
French Communist Party.
Thorez Forecasts Victory.
Prominently displayed were quo
tations from an inner-party speech
made by Maurice Thorez, French
Communist chief. before he left
Paris November II for medical
treatment in Moscow. A para
graph regarded as possibly signi-
ficant was this:
I'VE are moving forward into
great battles which will decide
the fate of our children, our coun-
try and all mankind. Let every
one display firmness and initiative.
The ever-growing and countless
forces Of all peoples, the forces
of democracy and peace, will COM
pei the retreat of the forces of
Fascism and war. Life will tri-
umph over DEATH"
Other articles reiterated the
pledge of French Communists
never to fight against the Soviet
Union. The French and Italian
Communist Parties - similarly
pledged-are West Europe's larg-
lest.

could be justified by the restric-

explained.

Pilot Dives Low
Saves Farm Family
In Burninq Home
BY the Associosed Press

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 30
An unidentified pilot apparently
saved five persons from a burning
farmhouse late today, and mad
vertently caused a false report of
a plane crash. re
Mrs. Bert Powell and her four
children heard a plane zoom low
over their house, Mrs. Powell said
she heard an object strike the
roof. apparently thrown out by the
pilot to give the alarm.
Mrs. Powell rushed out of the
house to find it in flames. She
got the children cut safely.
Meanwhile, neighbors saw the
low -circling plane and the flames
from the house. They jumped
to conclusions and notified the
Evansville Airport that plane
had crashed.
The airport control tower said
the pilot of a CAT plane flying
over the scene reported a big
blaze with so much smoke he
could not determine the cause.

horns and many off-key rendi-
tions of Auld Lang Syne.
In scores of churches, hoWever,
thousands will gather before mid
night to mark the passing of the
year with prayer and reverent
meditation. Catholic churches
will celebrate midnight masses
under the special privileges ex-
tended by Pope Plus XII because
of the gravity of world situation
Many Protestant churches also
will hold special watch night
services for meditation over the
past and the prospects for the fu-
ture.
Many Started Last Night.
With three-day holiday before
them. many people decided to
start their New Years celebration
last night. But the majority of
these celebrations seemed to CEN
ter around private homes. Crowds
downtown were neither much
larger nor louder than on a nor
NAL Saturday night.
Travel through Union Station
and bus and airline terminals
picked up during the day, but it
did not approach the Christ
mas holiday exodus.
Union Station officials said
many of the thousands who left
before Christmas had arranged to
spend the holiday week at home.
They predicted a huge traffic load
late tomorrow when the rush to
get back to work reaches its peak.

The Council stressed that while
expanded production may coun-
teract inf1ationary impulses in
specific areas, it docs not and
cannot remove the general in
fationary problem in period OF
very high and constantly rising
defense spending" Here, it was
said. both direct and indirect con-
trolls must be employed, with con-
sideration given to such weapons
as personal and excise taxes:
credit curbs, ALLEGATION of raw
materials and rationing, price and
wage controls, and investment in
government bonds.
Pay-AS-YOu- Go Taxes Urged.
While bearing down heavily on
the importance of new taxes with
the declaration that without ade-
quate taxation. the other efforts
to control imitation rest upon
quicksand." the Council said the
Government should do its part by
reducing non-esSential expendi-
lures ito the largest extent
feasible"
There were no specific sugges-
tions, however. The report in
dicated that the Council is not
prepared to recommend anything
drastic, saying that sit should not
be assumed that no Governmental
expenditures except those made
directly for the military program
are important to the defense
effort"
Supporting President Humans
inSistence on pay-aS-you-go tax
alton. the Council said "the posi-
tive Importance of paying the cost
of the defense effort from month
to month as it is incurred is
based on the anti-inflationary ef-
fects of taxes. The alternative
method, borrowing, presents seri-
Gus dangers of present or future
inflation.'
Detailed Program Later.
Disputing the contention that
"the burden of pay-as-we-go tax
alton will be greater than our
economy can stand over the next
few years." the Council said that
"the tax program must be adj
justed to the cold fact that longer
hours and harder work will swell
the volume of personal income,
while for a year or two at least
the total volume of consumer
goods cannot be expanded and
may have to be reduced"
The Administration, which is
pushing for an excess profits tax
in excess of SO billion right now.
will offer an additional tax pro-
gram to the new Congress, but
the size still is to be determined.
Promising more detailed wage
price program in the report to
Congress next month, the Council
said that "prices and wages will
have a bearing on whether we
achieve the most efficient uses of
pure resources for the purposes at
hand"

the report emphasized the dis
ruptive" effect of advances, and
added:
THE comment we made a year
ago that almost all important
prices were high enough to provide
adequate funds and incentives
without further increases is even
more valid today"
On the subject of wages, the
Council backed away from its in
dorsenent last year of escalator
clauses in wage contracts based
on increased productivity and liv-
ing costs, asserting an excess of
wages over available goods aggra-
vate imitation. Wage earners get
ting the advantage Of this system

consumers who constitute a ma
jority of the population, and most
of whom are relatively less fortu-

"It is certainly not too much
to ask that wage earners in gen.

living standards, during a time
when the economy simply cannot
produce more civilian goods and
also carry the burden of rearma-
ment," the Council argued.
