A LOOK BACKWARD

elizabeth City independents Starr
History is always interesting
and sometimes it makes sad
reading.
Take, for instance, the history
of the individual income tax. In
1929, the tax on $4,000 income
was So, and for a married person
with two children and $4,000
income it was a mere $40.
Now the tax begins at 20 Der
cent on the lowest taxable income
levels. From there it goes swiftly
up the ladder, reaching 81 per
cent at the top.
It's no wonder that people still
talk, wistfully and nostalgically. of
the good old days. Who dares to
predict what taxes will be 25
years from now, with government
functions being expanded like the
proverbial green bay tree?

ON THE BANKS, Z
LEGEND COMES EASY
Charlotte Observer)

Charlotte Observer)
No one really has seen North
Carolina until he has seen Hat
teras, its turbulent cape, its tall
lighthouse and it's native stock
living in picturesque and wind
burned isolation.
Nor has he really known North
Carolina until he has heard the
lore and legend of the Banks, that
fragile reef of sand that juts out
into the Atlantic to separate sound
from sea.
Here lives, in quaint villages, a
little tribe of fishermen, Coast
Guardsmen, weather observers and
increasingly of late) the caterers
to the growing herds of tourists.
The sea dominates all. It's smell
and it's sound are forever in the
air. 1t is at most times a comfort
and at all times a source of liveli-
hood, but when the hurricanes and
the "nor'easters" roll, it is a men,
ace, a menace, however, more re-
spected than feared.
1t is no strange thing that leg
end should pile up in a place
where, in the old days of sailing.
20 miles of shallow quicksand be-
came known as the Atlantic's
graveyard.
One such legend popped into the
news a few days ago. 1t was the
legend of "Old Quawk's Day." p
day that, in the tradition of the
islanders, means sudden squalls
and dangerous waters.
And, if you are a wise seafarer,
an extra helping of caution.
The Bankers were not surprised,
we are told, when the Weather
Bureau hoisted small craft warn
ings along the cape on such a day
last week. They had remembered
the 18th Century story Of the
blasphemous sailor who cursed

RED HERRING
(U. S. Press Association

(U. S. Press Association
The care-free British tour of
jolly-boy Georgi Malenkov, the de-
posed successor to the mantle of
Stain who is now in charge of
proletarian kilowatts, appears to
have gone sour. The high-voltage
smile has been turned off and his
unaccountable gloom perceptibly
thickened with the arrival in
England of the USSR's chief killer,
head of the secret police and sue
cessor to the lately done-in Law
remit P. Beria.
While the British received their
latest visitor coldly, and without
the ceremony accorded the chubby
power-house pundit, it is under
standable that the latter may be
even more disturbed by the ma
cabre presence. And, as of this
writing, it is an open question
whether the official throat sitter
is in not-so-merry England to pro-
tect Comrade Malenkov POSSIBLY
against any idea of seeking
asylum) or to arrange for the Sc
curity of Comrades Khrushchev
and Bulganin on their Forthcoming
visit.
Whatever goes on with Britain's
present guests fits in somehow
with the latest Soviet ferment, the
reputation of the demi-god Stain
by his former lieutenahts. This
latest Kremlin coup was planned
it would seem, to confound the
free nations with Russia's new
morality and to enable the Com
mics, pinkos and fellow-travellers
the world over to make common
cause with the socialists who, in
most countries, are slightly less
suspect. That this breath-taking
switch may backfire, is a good
possibility. That it can be consum-
mated without some further purg-
ing contradicts the Soviet pattern.
Certainly the challenge to "the
present surviving Communist HER
archy", delivered in the Senate by
CALIFORNIA; Senator William F.
Knowland, has the endorsement of
all those whom these leaders would
impress:
"These men," he said, "were the
partners in crime of Stain in the
mass murders, slave labor camps,
and destruction of sovereign ma
tons. They were accomplices in
the crimes. They share the loot.
"Now they want to cast off the
evil acts, but not the benefits de-
rived. They want to get cloak of
responsibility before going to Lon
don and calling on the Queen.
II would be more impressed if
the Kremlin would free the mil
lions in the slave labor camps of
Siberia; if they would agree to
restore independence to Latvia,
Lithuania and Estonia; if they
would agree to free elections in
Eastern Germany and would free
their hold on Czechoslovakia, Po-
land, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria
and Albania.
at is my belief that the Voice
of America, Radio Free Europe
and other agencies should chal-
lenge the Kremlin's rulers to per-
form deeds repudiating acts of
Stain, rather than use mere words
of reputation. The dead can not
be brought back to life, but the
enslaved can be freed. The SOW
ereignties of captive nations can
be restored. This would be the acid
test as to whether there has been
a basic change in Soviet policy"
There will never be better time
to call this colossal bluff.
