Peiping Troops in North Korea Remain
Major Bar to Security Council Bids

United Nations but "still is,
due to the fact that its armies
are in North Korea"
This, in the Presidents
view, gives neither the United
States nor the United Nations
any other choice but to bar
the way to the admission of
Red China. 1t is a consistent
position. 1t means that adj
mission is being denied not
on the basis of the kind of
government established ideo-
logically by the Communists
at Peiping but on the kind
of government that exists as
an external menace-a gov
eminent that not only has re-
fused to honor international
obligations in the treatment
of foreign nationals but also
has refused even to acknowl-
edge that it sent its armies
into Korea.
The specious claim is still
made by Peiping that only
volunteers" went to Korea
and intervened-more than
100000 of them. Since that
claim was made. the Soviet
Union, a member of the U. N.
has publicly stated that it
supplied arms and ammuni-
ton to the Red Chinese to help
fight the war in Korea.
A little more than a year
ago, a Big Five conference was
held at Geneva at which Red
China'S foreign minister. Chou
En-Lai, was present. He made
a speech denouncing the U. N.
and declaring emphatically
that Red China would not ac-
cept U. N. auspices in holding
elections in Korea. He char
acterized the Western nations
as "aggreSsors"-a view Incl
dentally which the supposedly
neutral and disinterested
Krishna Menon of India ap-
pears to share. Small wonder
he is popular in Peiping.
Mr.. Eisenhower has dra-
matically called attention to
Red China's status as a con-
tinuous aggressor. Most peo-
pie may have forgotten that
originally a United Nations
commission was sent to Korea
and recommended that an in
dependent government be set
up and that the Russians as
well as the United States

CONSTANTINE BROWN
Adenouer Faces Very Difficult Situation;
Shall He Yield or Resist Red Proposals?


The German people are in
terested primarily in unity
and trade. They know that
the Russians alone, and not
the allies, can decide whether
the former Reich shall be re-
united. They remember that
it was Russia, and not the
allies, who made possible the
Austrian treaty after Chan
cellor Raab visited the Krem-
lin and accepted Moscow's
terms which the Western allies
merely rubber stamped.
Hence. if the price for unity
is an agreement resembling
even vaguely the political fea-
lures of the Austrian treaty,
the Germans do not see why
they should not accept them
and end the present uncer-
tainties of a divided Germany.
The S. billion-a-year trade
package is regarded skeptically
by German industrialistS and
businessmen. They do not be-
lieve that the USSR and her
European satellites can absorb
that amount of trade even on
a liberal barter basis. But the
reported offer would give the
German industries a real jump
ahead of their British, French
and American competitors.
Throughout Europe there is
a feeling that the worst" is
over; that the cold war is
thawing and that Europe has
before it at least 10 years of
real peace. The nightmare
of another war is fast dis
appearing.
The smiles of the Soviet
leaders, their cordial invita-
lions to all European states

capital in formal state visits,
the ease with which the Iron
Curtain is now being pene-
trated by political, scientific

conditions contribute to the

Planting Site is Held Important
To Future of Living Yule Tree

Buy a Christmas tree for
planting on the home grounds
after the holidays?
Then you'd better listen to some
advice about locating it properly.
Chances are your earth-balled and
burlapped evergreen will have to
suffer through the excessive heat
of your home for a week or ten
days. If it survives this hurdle
there is still the problem of Sc
Letting a sunny, well-drained
planting site where it won't
drown before spring.
L. V. Newton, field representa-
tive of The Davey Tree Expert
Company, points to the fact that
poor planting sites plus mid-win-
ter planting are certain to cause a
high mortality rate among these
double-duty Christmas trees.
Sandy or gravelly soils drain
naturally and present no special
problem. Planting in heavy clay
is another matter and may re-
quire the installation of drainage
tiles.

Foster Says Many Paying
More i'm Income Tax Than
Required by Federal Laws

Many Montgomery County
farmers pay more income tax
than they should, says agricult-
ural agent, Delbert T. Foster.
Almost every year a few farm
ers in the county get into COM
plicated negotiations with the
Internal Revenue Service be-
cause they unintentionally pay
too little income tax. In both
cases, the errors can usually be
traced back to a lack of informa-
ton on how to file income tax re-
turns.
Foster says one of the best
sources of income tax informa-
ton is a bulletin recently re-
leased by the University of Mary
land Extension Service. He has
just received a supply of these
bulletins, "Your 1854 Income
Tax" Authors of the bulletin are
George A. Stevens, University of
Maryland Extension Service agri-
cultural economist, and E. P. Cal
lahan, Extension Service, U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
AS an example of the type of
information contained in this
bulletin, Foster points to the
sections on depreciation and the
sale of capital assets.
The bulletin explains the diff
ferent methods of figuring de-
probation, and gives examples
that will help farmers decide
which method is best for their
particular operation. 1t is also
pointed out that revisions made
in the income tax law during
1854 allows farmers to use more
liberal methods of figuring de-
probation on property construct
ed, reconstructed or erected after
December 81, 1853.
Farmers are urged to give
particular study to- the methods
they use in figuring depreciation.
Farmers should claim everything
depreciab1e, because depreciation
is the same as farm operating
expense-it subtractS from farm
income. Many farmers are pay
ing more tax than they should,
because they do not take full
advantage of depreciation allow
ances.
Many farmers have not been
making full use of Schedule D
in reporting the sale of capital
assets. A common mistake in
this respect is reporting the sales
of capital assets as ordinary in
come. This means the sale is tax.
able as ordinary income, when
only one-half the gain from the
sale would be taxable if reported
in Schedule D as the sale of a
capital asset.
