~ Korean Crisis May Force Tax
|i‘ . 9 . 8
" Revision, New Appropriations
‘ ; BY PETER EDSON
’ t NEA Washington Correspondent
"1 WASHINGTON. — (NEA) — A complete reap
preisal of American requirements to support the
Korean war effort is now underway in Washington.
It will be made public through President Truman’s
mid-year Economic Report to Congress,
This report was originally drafted for releasa
Fune 26, On June 25 the North Koreans attacked.
The report was hastily held up.
1t wag at first thought that the report might be
changed slightly and issued in amvended form about
' July 10. That was when it was thought that the
' North Korean sggression could be put down in
{ short order, as a simple United Nations police
! action,
{ As the situation became mora eritical, as the
| North Koreans advanced, and as the need for larger
U. 8. commitments became apparent, this estimate
! was changed. A fairly complete revision of the re
'i port, covering business conditions and prospects for
i the rest of the year, was decided upon. It is now
| being built around future foreign requirements and
their effect on the U. S. economy.
A Korean mop-up action of short duration could
of course be supplied without undue strain. But the
surprise strength of North Korea may nmrake neces
sary the stepping-up of military assistance to other
danger spots.
INFLATION CAN RESULT
That is one reason why a new survey mission un
~ der former Assistant Secretary of Treasury Daniel
| W. Bell has been rushed to the Philippines. If aid to
, Indochina, Iran, Yugoslavia also has to be increased,
| combined requirements will provide considerable
' strain,
It will require increased appropriations from
i Congress—llike the $260,000,000 President Truman
i has requested for atomic weapons development, or
| the $2,000,000,000 additional military appropria=
tions suggested by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of
Massachusetts.
If such money is not to be raised by borrowing,
further increasing the national debt, revision of the
tax bill might have to be considered. One way to do
that would be to leave the law the way it is, with=
out reducing excise taxes on luxury goods.
Still greater will be the effects on raw materials
supplies, There are few real shortages of materials
<% now, But supplies of some forms of metal products
and building materials are extremely tight.
Any new demands for national defense would
make supplies still tighter. A scrambie for mate
rials or a little old-fashioned hoarding and inven
tory building could easily shoot up prices and start
inflation all over again.
What this would do to the present building boom
and the high demand for everything from automo
biles to iceboxes is something else that government
economists are contemplating.
CONGRESSMEN MAY STALL
Few congressmen, however, will want to vote for
increased appropriations, increased taxes, or re
sumption of wartime controls of any kind, just be~
fore election., So a decision could be put off.
Things are a good bit like they were 10 years
ago, This is where a lot of people come in. Presi
. dent Roosevelt was then talking somewhat grandly
about the United States being the “arsenal of dem
ocracy.” The idea was that this country could sup
ply Burope'’s war without feeling the strain. This
country was going to have both guns and butter,
automobiles as well ag tanks, dishpans as well as
airplanes. It took a while to discover how wrong
that was. But there was sloth in applying the
bragkes and converting.
President Truman’s forthcoming economic mes
sage to Congress is expected to nrake specific rec
ommendations on what he thinks should be done to
put the sountry on a Korean war basis.
The Council of Economic Advisers’ longer re
port, drawn up by Chairman Leon Keyserling, will
give supporting background in more general and
guarded terms,
It somewhat drastic measures are recommended
by the President, there will be a lot of yelling. It
will be sald that the planners in Washington are
glmly using the Korean crisis to rush the country
ack under eontrols,
I the Senate 1g not willing to cut for foreign aid,
there is Uttle hope it will eut anything in domestic
programs.—Senator Robert Taft (R.), Ohio.
Fhe finel phase of our experience with Russia is
n belated realization that this is not one world,
twa worlds.—Merbert Hoover.
. _J would be foolbardy to pontificate about the
faced by the Americun press . . .if we do
fight back against the calculated assault on our
freedoms.—Edwin 8, Friendly, vice presi
of the New York World-Telegram and Sun.

mo make some blunder. —— Senator Tom Con-
Athens Fire Protection
Facilities Augmented
Opening of the Five Points area Fire Station here
tomorrow will give Athens a strengthened fire pro
tection organization which it has needed for some
time.
The Five Points area is one of the largest resi
dential sections of the city, if not the largest, and
there has been a need for some time of a fire station
in that vicinity.
The City Administration merits the appreciation
of the citizens for having gone ahead with construc~
tion of the station and for making provisions to
have it adequately manned.
There has been considerable discussion favoring
the county government joining with the city in
maintenance of fire-fighting facilities that will
serve both the residents of Athens and beyond the
city limits,
We believe that it would be well for the county
to join with the city in working out a plan under
which lives and property beyond the city limits
can be better protected from fire than they are at
present.
It would seem that the county would fare better
by joining with the city in maintaining proper facil
ities to protect lives and property from fire than by
setting up a fire department of its own. But
whether this will prove to be true, or not, there is
no good reason, insofar as we can see, why the cit
izens outside the city limits should not be provided
with such facilities.
If investigation should point to the advisability
of a separate county-operated department that
course should be followed, On the other hand, if a
city-county fire department is found to be the best
plan, it should be adopted.
Civilian Defense Programs
Lag; Now’s Time for Action
Governors all over the nation could well copy the
initiative of Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New
York in the civilian defense field. He’s been having
emergency talks with his cabinet on defense plans
for the whole state.
As Dewey points out and national authorities
concede, the states up to now have received virtu
ally no guidance from the federal government in
preparing an adequate civiilan defense, They have
no choice but to take matters into their own hands
and plunge ahead,
W. Stuart Symington, chairman of the National
Security Resources Board, is the key federal execu~
tive in this field. But until he was named to the job
a few months ago the post had been vacant for
months.
And no one in Washington apparently took civ
ilian defense seriously until last September when it
was learned Russia had the A-Bomb.
The truth is that though some cities have test
programs under way, no community is ready now
to face an A-Bomb attack. The lack of efficient civ~
ilian defense could be, in Symington’s view, the
difference between a serious and a fatal disaster,
“It is estimated that with only 12 minutes’, warn=
ing as against no warning, and under efficiently
planned civilian defense, the casualties in a city hit
by an atomic bomb could be reduced 50 percent,”
he said recently,
Unfortunately for such plans, no one has even
decided yet whether the cost of civilian defense
staffs and equipment should be borne by the fed
eral government or the states and cities.
One need not be an alarmist about the prospects
of the Korean war spreading into general war to
realize the time is long past for feeble action in this
field. Harsh reality, uncolored by hysteria, requires
us to be prepared for the worst in a world that
contains the Soviet Union. g
No A-Bomb attack may ever come; but if it does,
it will then be too late to talk about combatting its
results with effective defense.
In New York a State Civil Defense Commission
has been created and provided with SIOO,OOO to get
going. State officials have been working on prelim
inaries for nearly a year, and Dewey's emergency
cabinet sessions were the signal for the commission
to nrove ahead at top speed.
Some states may already be taking similar
strides. Certainly none which would be likely tar
gets in an atomic war can afford to delay further
the making of specific civilian defense plans. And
perhaps if they begin showing the way, the federal
government will be spurred at long last to estab
lishing an effective over-all program.
Congress not only has shown no disposition to cut
appropriations; it actually is talking of raising
them.—Dr, Edwin G. Nourse, former chairman of
Council of Economic Advisers.
We should look at world government as some
thing we must be ready to take on instead of
merely something we give up. — William L. Batt,
president, SKF Industries, Inc.
Reporters and editors bear greater responsibili
ties. Much of today’s news is loaded with ideologi
cal gunpowder.—President Hugh Baillie of United
Press.
Europe must form a single large market within
which quantitative restrictions on movement of
goods, money barriers to the flow of payments and
eventually all tariffs will be permanently swept
away.—ECA Administrator Paul G. Hoffman,

FRIENDS OF THE LAND
Columbus 1, Ohio
HOW OUR LANDS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — “The de
mand for great quantities of food,
feed, and fiber to feed and cloth
the war-torn world has caused
farmers in many areas to plant
more soil-depleting crops than has
been good for their land,” said Dr.
Jonathan Forman, vice president
of Friends of the Land and emi
nent Columbus, Ohio physician.
“Consequently we can be certain
that for some time in the future
the production of such lands will
decline.” :
Intensive eropping without pro
per rotations and the failure to ap~
ply minerals in proper proportions
to replace those sold off to the
cities and to foreign countries in
crops, has lowered the productiv
ity of much, if not all, of our farm
lands, according to this eminent
physician - author - conservation
ist. Under this war time pressure,
more land has been plowed and
more land planted to cotton, tobac
co, corn, and potatoes with the re
sult that erosion has taken a
greater toll of the topsoil than ever
before.
“Many people in all walks of
life have come to be concerned
about the preservation of our
land,” Dr, Forman pointed out.
“They recognize the fact that
from the soil comes the food to
support the industrial plants and
the people of our towns and cities.
Friends of the Land is a society
whose membership is made up of
such persons. In many commun
ities throughout the nation, groups
of the members are spearheading
an effort to get all of the people
aroused to the importance of get
ing our soil in good physical shape
