DEWEY: Hitch-Hik- er Breaks With Top Men The hints at a serious riff In policy within the Republican party during the past few months took on definite form when Gov. Thomas E. Dewey took sharp issue with such top G.O.P. leaders as Taft of Ohio, Wherry of Nebraska, and former president Herbert Hoover over the defense of Europe. In one of the bluntest statements ever made by Dewey, the New York governor said it would be utmost of folly' to depend upon sea and air power to protect the U.S. against Communist aggression.

The proposed peace treaty hinged on future security measures in Japan. The security guarantee includes stationing of U.S. armed forces in and Bbout the country. No time limit will be specified and U.S. troops might be stationed in Japan for many years. And while the arrangement lasts, an attack on Japan would be considered the same as an attack on the United States. American policy has leaned heavily toward a free and strong Japan as a balancing factor in the Pacific. The United States does not want to place heavy economic or financial burdens or major commercial disabilities upon Japan. In this respect, however, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand may not agree fully with the United States. Publicity make-believ- e ture. The new avalanche began to roll activiwhen the house ties committee announced plans to investigate certain Hollywood actors that would inevitably lead to a revival of the communlsm-in-Holly-wood case. In 1947 the committee investigated Communist influences in the movie capital in long and sensational hearings with the result that 10 writers and directors were convicted of contempt of congress for refusing to say whether they had ever been Communists. All went to jail. The new hearings may do considerable good, but as in all such investigations, some innocent people can expect to be hurt. Eighth army officers reported elements of nine Chinese divisions and six Korean divisions were used in the counterattack. At full strength this would mean as many as 150,000 to 200,000 men However, heavy casualties had been Inflicted on the Communists since the U.N. offensive began. Officials claimed Red casualties, by ground action alone, totaled 80,121. Some military observers believed Communist armies in Korea had been hurt so seriously in recent weeks they could not continue an offensive for a long period of time. Others, however, were cautious with their predictions, remembering the overwhelming manpower available to the Communist cause. Morale was reported high among U.N. troops during recent weeks as they pushed slowly toward the 38tb parallel.

With an th Congress Accepts Dare President Truman in presenting his budget to congress said it was a good tight one and dared the legislators to trim it Evidently congress is going to accept Mr. Trumans dare. Several Democrats and Republicans at least have promised to do so. Senator George of Georgia, chairman of the powerful senate finance committee which will handle the tax bills to pay for the budget, said it could be cut $5 to $6 billion without harm. Senator Bridges of New Hampshire, ranking Republican on the senate appropriations committee, termed the Presidents program as full of water as a field of melting He urged the senate to snow. squeeze the water" out On the other hand.

The U.S. public health service has worked out treatments for all these inhuman forms of modern warfare in the biological and chemical field. The point is in learning how to combat it; what treatments to give in emergencies and in the long pull for recovery; to pile up stocks of the right kind of medicines, particularly atrophine and tridlone, plenty of gas masks, protective clothing; how to prevent contamination, hospitalization and a dozen other necessities in case of such an attack. Doctors and veterinarians must take special courses in how to combat the effects and this professional manpower must come from the private ranks.

That Is an important question to each American. The President asks for a tax that will produce a total of $71 billion. That is the highest total amount the nation has ever been asked to pay, but the President estimates that the total earnings of Americans for the next fiscal year will be not less than $240 billion, and of that amount we will pay, out of each dollar we earn 25.9 cents. As a tax, that is mild compared with what we were charged in 1945, when the government took 52.42 out of each of our earned dollars, and at that we were a long, long way from paying the war cost of that year, and added more than 70 billions to our national debt. WHAT Josepb H. Fitzsimmons, engineer of the Pennsylvania railroad commuter train that met disaster at Woodbrldge, N.J., was recovering from Injuries received In the crash. He reportedly admitted that he was speeding at 50 miles an hour at the time of the wreck over a stretch of track where speed was supposed to be a maximum of 25 miles per hour. The wreck death toll was 83. Approximately 500 Injured. Gilt to Royalty billion that 25.9 cents out of each dollar will produce the $71 billion he says must be raised. It all depends on what we, collectively, earn during the next fiscal year. The President presented to congress a statement of what percentage of each earned dollar had been paid to the government as taxes in other years: in 1939 we paid as taxes 12.8 cents out of each earned dollar; in 1945 it was 52.42; in 1948 it was 16; in 1949, 17.9; in 1950, 18.3; in 1951, 18.7. Except for the year 1949, the tax rate on each earned dollar has not fluctuated as radically as we have thought, bat the number of dollars we have earned, the total of the national annual income baa fluctuated greatly if the Presidents figures are correct, and bis figure for the next fiscal year is estimated at the high Let ns point of $240 billion. hope we make it, and if we do we can easily afford to pay the 25.9 oat of each of those dollars, keep the nation out of the red, and still pay the rearmament bills. The President gave to congress some idea as to who would pay the additional taxes. He would collect 35 per cent of It from Individuals, that is, from workers, farmers, professional people and merchants, twenty-seve- n per cent from corporations, 11 per cent from additional excise taxes, and four per cent from customs.

I was staring at Otto, I hooked a stool with my toe and pulled it out where I could sit down and still see what was going on. Otto turned around with a hamburger in bis hand. He reached across the counter and banded it to me. Maybe this will keep you out of mischief for a while, he said, grinning at my bewilderment.

These nerve gases are more toxic than any previously known GRASSROOTS IRAN: EDUCATION Then there is biological warfare against crops in the spread of insect pests and plant diseases which constitute a threat to our food supply. It would be comparatively easy for low flying planes to spread such crop and animal diseases across the vast stretches of the country's great plains where wheat, oats and the meat animals are raised and where population is comparatively meager. The department of agriculture knows about many of these foreign pests such as Japanese beetle, European corn borer, Mediterranean fruit fly, citrus canker and other pests. Our most successful method of keeping down losses is development of strains resistant to specific diseases, which takes time. But it is likely that new organisms which present crop varieties cannot resist, may be introduced, even in peace time, and herbicidal chemicals might be disseminated openly over these vast crop areas where hostile planes might gain access.
