Dear Neighbor:

Dear Neighbor:
One Of the surprises Of your Con-
gressman's "sidewalk-survey" was
provided by the answers received
to the question about reducing in
dividual income taxes.
The fourth question on the ''side-
Iwalk-survey' was: IF by next
January it appears that the budget
still cannot be balanced, would
you nevertheless favor individual
income tax reductions?" This ques.
ton was prompted by the fact that
under the law, which was enacted
a few years ago, such reduction
was to automatically 60 into effect
IN January 1854.
Tabulation of the survey thus
far indicates that sixty percent OF
the people participating in the poll
would not favor individual income
tax reductions if it appeared that
the budget could not be balanced.
Thirty-seven percent Of those in.
terviewed and who mailed in their
opinions would favor such an in.
come tax reduction, while only
three percent failed to register an
opinion.
Such a reaction Is of course sur.
|prising in itself. One is led by self.
styled experts of human nature. tc
believe that ''the people" want
their income taxes reduced. Ger.
tainly, We all desire any easing Of
the individual tax burden that car
be had, but there may be condi
tons under which we will forsake
such action. Balancing the budget
seems to be one of the condition:

They eyed him frankly. curl

evidently was one.
JEFF pulled out a chair and sat
down, rolling cigarette while he
talked. His words were casual,
one cowboy to another. II didn't

THE FAR EAST POLITICAL CONFERENCE

The United Nations met recently to plan for the Far
Eastern political conference which all peace-loving cti
hope will resolve the Korean issue without further
bloodshed. South Korean President Syngman Rhee has
announced he would give the political conference ninety
days to solve the Korean problem after which time his
delegates would walk out.
The United States has indicated it would walk out
with the South Korean delegates if the Communists used
the conference to employ stang tactics and for propa
ganda purposes However the United States has not said
it would hosties in Korea if the peace confer
ence did not solve the Korean problem.
The Korean problem is the worlds No. l problem at
the moment and will give hint to the effective
ness of the United Nations peacemaking body AL
though the u N has attempted to stop before and
has failed and succeeded in several tries the record of
the Far East political conference set up by the United
Nations will have much to do with the future prestige of
the world organization.
If the majority of U. N members exhibit pacfist
attitude and fail to make concrete moves. while al
lowing the Communists to the United Nations organ
cation propaganda sounding board then public opin-
ion in the United States might approach the attitude of

who thought that the United Nations great idea,
with Accomplishments to its credit, but without the
power or force to solve major issues.
