Nobel Prize Winners
Among zoo Arriving
For Chemist ConcIave

Several Nobel Prize winners are
among 200 of the worlds leading
chemists in town today.
They arrived in Union Station
In special train from New York
last night, to participate in the
year-long celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the National Bu-
reau of Standards.
One of the Nobel Prize winners
was Prof. A. !. Virtanen, of Hell
sinki, Finland. who took the COW
eted honor in 1945 for his re-
search in agricultural and nutri-
tional chemistry. His work has
turned out to be of great i'm
portance to civilization.
The scientist particularly has
worked on the relationship be-
tween nitrogen and leguminous
plants, with the result that he
has dispensed with fertilizer.
Own Garden Thrives.
Prof. Virtanen has put his re-
search to use on his own expert
mental farm with such favorable
results that he has never yet had
to buy nitrogen fertilizer for his
crops and, he added with some
pride, they are among the best in
Finland.
The chemists came to Washing
ton after attending the joint con-
clave of the American Chemical
Society, which has just celebrated
its 18th anniversary. and the In
ternational Union of Pure and Ap-
piled Chemistry.

Is it the drift to distaster?"
This is the perilous question

British press today following I'M
animous Egyptian Parliamentary
action in calling for exclusion of
British troops from the Suez Can
al zone and an end to joint rule
in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
The situation remains packed
with dangers. The riots that have

Of rising Egyptian nationalism may
be only the forerunners Of far
more bloody episodes.
But the British-and in this case

millionaire Amendment
Will Raise Your Taxes

A supporter of the "millionaire's
amendment" admit it will help
only the rich.
Under this proposed amendment
to the Constitution the U. S. could
take in taxes no more than 25 per
cent Of a PERSONS or corporations
income.
The AFL has pointed put that
this amendment would make
the rich richer and the poor
poorer. And on September 18
Rep. Noah Mason (R., Ill.,, a
supporter of the amendment,
showed in a House speech how
right the AFL is.
"The Treasury now has a yearly
tax take of about $24 billion from
the personal income tax" said Ma
son. "a rs per cent tax ceiling
would reduce this take only $2.5
billion ....
"The Treasury now has a yearly
tax also of $24 million from the
corporation income tax. A Is per
cent tax ceiling would cut this tax
take in half 49,.
"The Treasury now has a yearly
tax take of $500 million from Fed
eral estate and gift taxes. A 25
per cent ceiling would cut this tax
take to 5000 million -"
Mason admits three things:
1. The present income tax set
up is unfair to working men and
women. The "millionaire's amend
ment" wouldn't cut into the Treas
ury's income tax take very much
simply because the poor are al
ready saturated with taxes.

Michigan reveals that "a percent

years, that Britain will not put up
with being pushed around" in
definitely either by Communism
or any other political fanaticism
of the moment.
The Suez Canal and it's history
have a unique place in British his
tory.
Many books and stories have
told Of how Benjamin Disraeli,
silk-suited and monocle in hand,
approached the aging Queen Wet
oria and told of how the British
treasury could buy into the stocks
Of the company operating the
waterway and acquire a vital link
between the British home islands
and the Near and Far East.
| 1t was in 1875 when the British
madethe move that waste strength
en- immeasurably on already pow
erful empire-a not very difficult
move.
1t needed the nod Of approval
from the Queen, who at that time
Of her life and living in seclusion
had little use for most statesmen,
British or otherwise.
And the then reigning Khedive
Of Egypt was badly in need of
funds and in the course Of short
negotiations was happy to part
with a large share of the canals
controlling shares, giving Britain
a dominant position in the eastern
Mediterranean, not to be matched
by bases onsMalta or the Island Of
Cyprus or in north Africa.
Throughout the years, Suez has
been a virtual symbol Of British
power and prestige.
It was invaluable to the western
Allies in both World Wars; it is
still a bastion Of democratic
strength. And through the arid
stretches of 1O7 miles along the
Arabian desert from Port Said to
the Red Sea it still is a major
component of defense against
Communism in the Middle East.
The canal has had a checkered
history. Revolutions, tribal war
fare, and intense political agitation
have ragged along it's banks 70,
decades. And now, with Britain
facing perhaps the worst crisis she
has e confronted in this area
Of the world, the threat is more
pronounced that ever

In turning down a tOur-poWer
proposal tor participation in the
oe1ense OF Europe and approving
a decree designed to evlcr the Bri-
tlSh from the Sudan, the Egypt
ans have taken on a heavy re-
sponsibility.
Critics OF prime minister Clement
Attlee's British Labor Government
hold the socialists responsible on
the rounds that it has been weak,
vacllIatlng and dilatory.
But not even the strongest op-
ponents deny that he has been
right in attempting to seek a
peaceful solution, however late,
and now the ultimate decision lies
with the Egyptians.
Ever since the government in
Tehran decided to nationalize the
Anglo-Iranian Oil company and
therby touched off the present
wave Of anti British sentiment in
the Near East, the British have
been preparing for all eventuali-
ties.
1t was generally conceded that
the case of Iran was not one for
the use of force. Britain herself
had set a precedent in nationalist
ton and was hardly in a position
to be much more than highly in
dignant over Trans action.
For that reason, it was decided
to evacuate British personnel from
the Abadan oil fields in the hope
that the United Nations eventually
would solve the issue.
