At the risk of it could be contended that there was still hope to stop the Communist surge In China, or there was not.

The first figure was 12 billions. What Mr. Truman asked for, Instead, was one thus wins her cooperation in the continuing battle. Her aid and understanding are essential helps.

TRUMANS proposal Included both tax cuts and tax increases, but, overall, it would hike the nations tax bill by a billion dollars. Evn so, there was no the hospital Th way begins to look and shining now for bright John as his wife and children greet him outside the hospital (left) where the medical phase of his rehabilitation has been completed. John is getting back his confidence, a vital factor to the alcoholic, for "A. A." reports that it is fear of the future that accounts for the 25 per cent failures. With his family to help, and with new knowledge of how vicious is alcohol as an enemy, John won't hove to turn to the bottle for a false "lift." & Question The average American could not help but discern strange and disturbing ramifications in the Alger Hiss perjury trial verdict. Hiss was found guilty on two counts. The Jury found that he had passed secret documents to Whittaker Chambers and that he had seen Chambers after January 1, 1937. Hiss had denied both allegations. In a rambling expose of what now seems to have been juvenila intrigue with infantile overtones of cloak-andagger hue, the one big fact that came out of the trial is that somebody lied somebody lied in such colossal fashion as to be unmatched in any recent instance in American jurisprudence. CHAMBERS, former Communist courier by his own admission, and a former senior editor of Time magazine, said Hiss passed the secret state department papers to him and that he turned them over to the Russian. Hiss said he didnt do any such thing. However, the Jury, as a second trial of the case, chose to believe Chambers and convict Hiss. Naturally, Hiss will appeal; but if the verdict is upheld, he faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 years Imprisonment and fines of s, wage-earner- s. 14.000. The disturbing element in the case is how the Communists could so pervert the Americanism of abindividuals normally intelligent like lllss and Chambers, if Chambers story is true, to the point where they would actually serve the interest of the Soviets against the interests of their own country.

In reject ing the applications, the commlS' sion ruled the Mansfield Journal used its position in the community "to coerce its advertisers to enter into exclusive advertising contracts with the newspaper." The commission added that since both newspapers were owned and controlled by Samuel A. Horvitz and Isadore Horvitz, it took the view that what happened In Mansfield was indicative of what might occur under similar circumstances in Lorain. In appealing to the court, the newspapers contended the FCC had gone outside its province and had acted under antitrust laws. assurance the President would get that much. That he trimmed his tax proposals at all was due to mounting sentiment within his own administration ranks that appreciable tax Increases would be unwise at this time, and that the effort should be toward stimulating business as much as possible, rather than retard or discourage it by added tax burdens.
