Dovid Lowrence:

Premier Malenkov is en-
gagged in a dramatic attempt
to outsmart the leaders of the
West.
BY shooting down allied
planes, the Soviet ruler warns
the non Communist world that
it must not tread on his toes
and they get scared and pull
back. Orders, for example,
have been issued by the Brit
ish to keep their air units at
least 80 miles away from the
Soviet zone line.
Coincidentally, Ma1en k ov
says in his inaugural address
at Moscow that all trouble
some questions with the
West) may be resolved by
peaceful negotiations"
Why should Malenkov make
any such statement If it Is not
that he feels the Soviet people
fear a big war and need some
reinsurance?
News, of course, of how Ma
lenkov acts tough and warlike
by shooting down allied planes
is suppressed inside Russia or
minimized to give the impress
sion Of border incidents in
which allied airmen have
strayed across the boundaries.
If Malenkov really wanted
to start a peace move with the
West, he doesn't have to an
nounce it from the housetops.
He has ambassadors in London
and Washington, and the free
governments have ambassa-
dorS in Moscow.
But there was a propaganda
value in broadcasting to the
West that peaceful negotia-
tions" could ensue. It was
promptly seized upon by in
fluential elements in all the
free countries as a sign that
peace is just around the corner
and as something new. Again
and again, such peace gestures
have been proved transpar-
emily empty, but the peace

How long can such a chal-

will involve a very clear pat

in the recent series of episodes

basic differences within the

Aside from the ruckus over
timing of tax reduction, for

Free Pine Scet!i....-s
Still Available

Several thousand free loblolly
pine seedlings are still available
to farmers and landowners in
Holmes County, Any farmer who
would like to plant pine seed
lings this year should contact Bill
Jackson, U. S. Forest Service in
the Beall Building in Lexington
or phone ITS. The seedlings will
be given out on first come first
served basis as long as the sup
ply lasts. Dibbles for planting the
seedlings are available for loan
to the landowner.
Because of the warm weather,
the trees will be putting out new
growth within a few weeks;
therefore they should be planted
by next week if possible.
Loblolly pine is the fastest grow
ing tree in this area. On good
sites it will sometimes produce as
much as 212 cords per acre per
year. Because of its rapid grow
tn and its ability to cast an abund-
ant supply of needles to the
ground, loblolly pine is the best
available erosion control plant in
this area.

able period. The law is more
liberal in its application to in
dividuals. It requires a return of
net income from individuals if
O the net income exceeds the
exemption and credits, or ~
if the gross income exceeds &c.
10000. II either of these conditions
are satisfied, a return should be
filed in order to comply with the
statute.
The second condition is consider
ed first in that it is disposed Of
more easily. Gross income is
gross sales less cost Of sales, and
even though a net loss my be
sustained during the taxable
period, a return must be filed if
the gross income exceeds So
10000.
The first condition set forth
above requires a more extended
discussion. The specific exemp-
lions are married persons Goint),
100000 and single individuals;
100000. These are annual exem-'
ptions. They are specific in that
they are fixed at a certain sum.
Married persons may divide the
specific exemption and credits in
any manner they choose, if Sc
parate returns are filed. The con-
ditions as of the last day of the
year determines the status inso-

cerned except that the death Of
a spouse during the year will not
change the status for that year.
From and after January /, 1852,
the State Income Tax Law con-
tains no reference to dependent,
head of family, medical expense
insurance premiums, and these
exemptions, those allowed mar
ried persons and those allowed
single persons.
The returns filed by partner
ships and fiduciaries are informa
ton returns only. This also ap-
plies to returns filed by trusts
and estates, if the entire income
is distributed to the beneficiaries
thereof. If, by the terms of the
trust instruments or the will of
the decedent, the trustee or exc
cutor is required to withhold the
income and pay the tax thereon,
the return will be filed by such
trus; or estate on the Individual
form. No exemption is provided
for trusts or estates.
The Commissioner of Incomc
Tax urges every individual, who
meets the above requirements, to
complete return and mail it to
the Tax Commission, Box $50,
Jackson. Mississippi so as to avoid
the annoyance of correspondence,
at a later date, concerning liza
bility to file return or pay a
tax. The more information on
file in the Tax Commission, the
fewer will be the letters written
relative to probable deliquencies
and income tax liabilities. The
district service offices or the COM
mission and the office in Jackson
are always ready to give advice
and information, and assistance
is available at any time, with re
spect to preparing and filing re-
turns required by the Missis.-

How ironical that the church

Those people who expect TIT

Of Stain are engaged IN a
form Of wishful thinking-ac-

There is little hope of over
throwing that power IN Russia
or its satellite countries as lou
AZ the people remain unorg
anized and unarmed-as long
as the Communists have con-
troll Of all means of communica-
ton snd transportation. The
Communists can and do tell
the. people Of Russia only
what they want them to know.
This Is easy to do when you
control the press and the ra-
do and all other means Of
communication.
There are many Americans
today who do not recognize the
true menace Of Communism
people who do not believe that
the Russians have a well con-
structed plan for capturing
America for the Communists.
1t seems that with all that
has been revealed within the
past few months this would
not be the case--Ibut II Is.
Those people who think along
these lines 40 do not think
America is in any danger,
should certainly take note Of
the findings Of the Snbversive
Activities Control Board, an
agency of the u. S. govern
ment. This agency has prepar-
ed three million word report

blueprint for destruction OF
Che United States.
This Board has spent more
than two years seeking the an
swer to the question of control
of the Communist party IN the
United States and the evil
dence given m days Of endless
questioning, including nearly
three million words OF testi-
mony, is indisputable.
We can no longer, if we ever
did, think the Communist par
ty in America is a group OF m
rational malcontents, ne'er do
wells and idealfstic intellec-
tuals.
The American Communist
party is direct branch OF the
Communist party that rules
Russia with an iron hand-and

their orders from the Kremlin.
