The eighth promise of a good cit-izen: I will try to make my com-munity a better place in which to live. The Pilgrim fathers "got togeth-er" to come to this country. From other countries came groups which settled together at a "good bend in the crick." Neighbors built cabins near each other, leaned on each other, worked with each other, protected each other. Man has always liked someone to talk to; someone else to walk 3 with, to learn j with, to 8 ship with- - to &tJrv"& run races 4&3U( JL against, to wrestle, to gue politics IM Iff Wll If f 1 with- - and ri J wth whom to Hnlri je fjtylt!:, deplore the - weather. ' " Men early found that by their joint efforts they could achieve something far greater than they could hope to accomplish singly. The more things that people working together in a community can do without depending upon the federal or state government, the more our individual rights will be preserved, the stronger our nation will be. YOU HAVE cast your vote and paid your taxes. Don't stop there. There is also an intangible obliga-tion to make a community a little better for the time you have lived in it. You don't have to be a profes-sional to be a good citi-zen. No matter how busy he is. In addition to church and school, near-ly everybody can find time for at least one community activity. It may be the Boy Scouts, r Girl Scouts, the Club, the Red Cross, the Future Farmers of America, the Community Fund, the Campfire Girls, slum clearance, a new park, a public swimming pool or golf course, or merely your family helping another family. The spirit which motivates these groups is what makes one commu-nity so much better to live in than another town the same size which doesn't have the spirit. These things call for your time and ability rather than your mon-ey, and they will give every good citizen an inner glow of pride and satisfaction for having done them. "IN THE MAKING OF A TOWN," William Allen White said of Emporia: ". . . the material the brick and stone and mortar and lumber that make this town, are but a small part of it. Hun-dreds of towns in the country have just as much brick, stone, lumber and lime as Emporia has, that are not nearly such good towns. "Those who have lived during the half century now passed, put some-thing besides houses and streets and trees and material things. They put practical work in politics, in religion, in education, in business, in the social organization to make this a good town. Emporia did not just grow. To have a clean town meant a fight, every day in the year for someone; it meant sacri-fice for scores of men and women sacrifice of time and money and health and strength. To have all these schools and churches meant that thousands gave freely and in a great faith without material re-sults in sight, that we who now en-joy what we have, might reap where we have not sown. "This town is the child of many prayers. This town is the ideal real-ized only after those who dreamed the ideal, laid them down to rest with the dream still a dream. This town is the fruit of a great aspir-ation, and we who live here now, have a debt to posterity that we can pay only by still achieving, still pursuing; we must leam to labor and to wait, even as they learned it who built here on this townsite when it was raw upland prairie . . ."

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS J I Showdown Battle Looms in Korea; Jacob T.lalik Stops U. N. Action; House Votes Home-Fro- nt Controls (EDITOR'S NOTE: When opinions ire expressed In these columns, they are those of Western Newspaper Union's news analysts and not necessarily of this newspaper.) American Armor WALLACE: Makes Up His Mind Henry A. Wallace resigned from the Progressive party. In a short (only two paragraphs) letter to his former political aide, C. B. Bald-win, he wrote: "In view of actions recently taken by the national committee of the Progressive party and the various state committees, I am convinced I can more effectively serve the cause of peace by resigning from the national committee and the executive committee of the Pro-gressive party. "You will, therefore, take this letter as my formal resignation from the party." It was the third time that Wal-lace has broken off political affilia-tions, and, some observers pointed out, a confession on his part that the Progressive party is too left wing for even his tastes. He started his political career as an Iowa Republican. When the New Deal came into power in 1933, Mr. Wallace became a Democrat, first as secretary of agriculture and then of the United States in Franklin D. Roosevelt's third term. In 1946 he quit the Democratic party and his cabinet post. In 1948 he was the Progressive party's candidate for president. His candi-dacy, polling 500,000 votes in New York, cost Mr. Truman the empire state but not the election. In recent days, the question has been whether Wallace would accept the Progressive's foreign policy line, obviously dictated by Commu nists in the party. TAXATION: Cost Will Be High KOREA: Showdown Near On the fifth anniversary of the liberation of Korea from Japan, Communist and United Nations troops were involved in a series of maneuvers and probing thrusts that indicated a showdown battle was near. In the north the Communists made their most important gains with the capture of Pohang and lorcing U.S. troops to evacuate an important airfield. American and South Korean forces were in action against a Red unit west of that city. In the west, the Communists had crossed the Naktong river at two points, north and south of Taegu. At one point 12,000 Red troops had crossed the river and counter at-tacking Americans attempted to throw them back with some suc-cess. The Communists were reported to have 60,000 men massed in that area "for the all-o- drive to push United Nations forces from Korea. In the south, U.S. marines con-solidated their positions just four miles outside Chinju and continued to mop up isolated Red groups cut off by the American drive. Military observers reported the Communist time-tabl- e had been up-set by the stubborn defense of U.S. and South Korean, forces. The Reds had set August 15 as the date for final victory and their "lib-eration" of South Korea. A final and desperate attempt to gain that victory seemed but a matter of hours. Meanwhile, American jet fighters and bombers continued raids on North Korean installations and ground positions.. One striking force dropped 625 tons of bombs in a raid on an oil refinery. The Navy announced the first combat use of a new rocket-typ- e missle, the. Tiny Tim, a 11.75-inc- h armor-piercin- g rocket. The rocket was credited with knocking out 13 Communist locomotives and de- - A sight to cheer the GI's who fought the first holding actions against the North Korean Com-munists was the line of medium tanks, shown as they moved up the front lines to add their weight to the battle. Such tanks are often dug in and used as pillboxes. UNITED NATIONS: Anger ond Frustration Delegates to the U. N. security council watched with disgust as Russia's Jacob A. Malik blocked every move of the organization to continue with its business after two weeks under his chairmanship. delegates were angered and frustrated by his tac-tics, but were resigned to waiting it out until his chairmanship ended today, August 31 and Sir Gladwyn Jebb of Britain takes over. Malik's strategy had been de-signed to stall any action of the or-ganization on the Korean situation and to create as much propaganda as possible for the Communist cause. Some quarters believed that Malik scored some success along that line. Hq continued to drum the theme that South Korea started the war and accused the United States of using "inhuman and barbarous methods of waging war in Korea." The western delegates hit back The senate finance committee served notice that the cost of war in Korea would be higher with its unanimous approval of increased individual income taxes amounting to about $3 billion. The senate and house were ex-pected to approve the legislation. Main points of the bill: 1. Dig deeper into the pockets of more than 50,000,000 individual tax-payers October 1. Withholding of wages and salaries, after personal exemption, will jump from the pres-ent 15 per cent to 18 per cent. 2. The actual increase in taxes will be around 20 per cent for mil-lions of persons in the lower income brackets. For 1950, the present tax would apply on three-fourth- s of in-come, and the higher rates on In 1951 and thereafter the higher rates would apply on all in-come. 3. GI's fighting in Korea would pay no tax at all, and their officers would get reductions in their taxes, too. The tax exemption would not apply to servicemen and service women outside the war zones. PROPAGANDA: Straight to Cemetery Russian propaganda at times has been ridiculous. The newest blast was directed against American foot-ball '. Radio Moscow said recently: "Football players at the University of Michigan are often carried from the football field to the hospital or even straight to the cemetery." Moscow pictured American ath-letes driven to slaughter by greedy promoters. In fact, Moscow cried that it all was inspired by Wall Street to get the American public conditioned for war. In retaliation, the Voice of Ameri-ca offered to buy a season pass for any accredited Russian correspon-dent who wants to see the Universi-ty of Michigan football team play. Said the U. S.: "The voice will gladly offer a sea-son's pass to all games of the Uni-versity of Michigan to an accredit-ed U.S.S.R. correspondent to see for himself. We can assure him that he'll have no expenses for flowers or wreaths." All-O- ut Battle stroymg a bridge. HOME--FRONT: Truman Gets Power The house voted, 383 to 12, a broad home-fron- t mobilization bill that gave the President power to control prices and wages, ration consumer goods and impose indus-trial curbs to speed up the war ef-fort. The senate also had a similar bill under consideration. Some kind of control bill had been expected for some time, but there were several surprising aspects to the one the house voted. In the first place, the vote of 383 to 12 was startling. But even more startling was the fact the house, which us-- ually jealously guards its authority and power, left it entirely up to the President when to invoke the and other control powers contained in the bill. Mr. Truman insisted he was not ready for severe restrictions upon civilian economy. And although the bill gives him that power, it is not believed that such broad scale mo-bilization is in sight. However, the administration is reported anxious to use some of the industrial con-trols, particularly the power to al-locate scarce materials to war in-dustries. If and when the President invokes controls, the bill stipulates he must peg wages at the May 25 level. For prices he would have to give only "due consideration" to the period as a base.. The bill would: much more forcefully than ever be-fore. U.S. delegate Warren Austin pi.,ned the responsibility for the North Korean invasion on the Rus-sians as the men behind the men behind the guns. Sir Gladwyn made biting attacks on the entire philoso-phy under which the Kremlin operates. The western attack seemed to hit home. Malik seemed a little har-assed at times and talked much faster and gestured more often. Malik stated during one of the rounds that the only Russian arms possessed by the North Koreans were those "we sold to them when Soviet forces withdrew from Ko-rea". It was the first time Malik or any other Soviet leader has ad-mitted that North Koreans were us-ing Soviet weapons. The statement exposed Malik as a liar before the world because late model weapons have been captured from the Communists that were not even developed at the time the Russians were supposed to have withdrawn from North Korea. One such weapon was a late model mor-tar shell. POLITICS: An Issue Found Four important Republican sena-tors, members of the foreign rela-tions committee, issued an indict-ment of Democratic diplomatic failures, charging the administra-tion's policy invited Russia "to grab whatever it could in China, Korea, and Formosa." Senators Wiley of Wisconsin, Smith of New Jersev. HickenlooDer to impose wage and price controls and rationing at any time he deems necessary. (2) Make it a criminal offense, punishable by a $10,000 fine and a year in jail, to hoard food, clothing, automobile tires and other "neces-saries." (3) Authorize the President to exercise consumer credit controls ' similar to those used during World War II. (4) Authorize the President to requisition materials and factories necessary to the defense effort. . (5) Let the President set up a sys-tem of priorities and allocations for getting strategic and critical materials to defense plants. (6) Authorize the government to make or guarantee loans for de-fense purposes. The total of loans outstanding at any one time could not exceed $2 billion. ESPIONAGE: Suspect No. 7 Mrs. Ethel Greenglass Rosen-berg, 34, mother of two children, was arrested by the F.B.I, as sus-pect No. 7 in the Harry Gold-D- r. Klaus Fuchs atom spy case. She was held under $100,000 bail. Her husband also Is under $100,000 bond. The F.B.I, said when he was arrested July 17 that he belonged to a spy ring financed by Anatoli Yakovlev, former Soviet vice consul in New York. of Iowa and Lodge of Massachu-setts signed the statement that demanded the United States take immediate steps to "regain the in-itiative and the power for the or-ganization and preservation of last-ing peace, which it threw away in 1945." The senators charged that the administration was responsible for "the disintegration of our armed forces in 1945", evidently forgetting that Republicans and Democrats both answered the screams of mothers and fathers throughout the nation to let their boys come home. Republican leaders said they will discuss this issue in the congres-sional campaigns and expect their national committee soon to lay down a documentary "white paper" to support their position. In other words, the Republicans believed they had found an issue for the coming political campaigns. Income Up The national production of goods and services boomed up to an an-nual rate of nearly 270 billion dol-lars in the second quarter of 1950, the commerce department an-nounced. It is the highest quarter on record. The mark represented a sharp climb from the annual rate of 254 billion in the last quarter of 1949, and 263 billion in the first quarter of 1950. Capture of Pohang (1) and U. S. last ditch defense of air strip highlight Korean war news. Reds mass tanks (2) for attack near Waegwan. A bat-tle raged at the Pugong-n- l (3) bridgehead. In the south (4) the three-pronge- d U. S. advance stopped at outskirts of Chinju. CHURCHILL: The Old War-Hors- e Winston Churchill roared again in the consultative assembly of the Council of Europe, warning of Eur-ope's weaknesses and stating flatly that America's atomic bombs shield-ed Europe from Communist aggres-sion. He proposedi a unified army for Europe and the council approved by a vote of 89 to 5. A number of critics said the old war-hors- e had gone too far, but oth-ers considered it a major victory. rCBDSSWDHD PUZZLE t y ACROSS DOWN 18. Color !?b$i I Eager 1. Maxim 19. Merry .

She has a terrific part in "The Furies", soon to be released, but talked not about her own role but about the late Walter Huston, whom she admired and liked so much. "The Furies" was his last picture. When It was announced that Bill Boyd, star of Mutual's "Hopalong Cassidy" radio series, is to co-st-with Bing Crosby in a film, every-one began speculating as to wheth-er the Western star would sing with Bing. Boyd settled that question in short order; his reply was a definite "No! Leave that to all the rest of them." And to Bing's sons. Gloria Swanson Is likely to be known as the Iron Woman if she continues her current routine, f Recently she completed a three-mont- h tour of 31 cities in the United States and Canada, on behalf of her Paramount picture, "Sunset Boulevard", a trip which she began not long after a similar one to publicize "Sam-son and Delilah". Ruth Roman, while working in "Three Secrets", paused long enough to order a swimming pool. "Just put it anywhere." she told the contractor.

BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Show Business Offers Heart Break to Stage-Struc- k Girl By BILLY ROSE As everyone and his Aunt Esmerelda knows, there's no business like show business for the fortunate few who make the grade But In 1946, a stage-struc- k lass from Nebraska named Judy Peters moved into a boarding house off Times Square and began looking for work in the theatre. As per usual, she was average bright, round of face, figure and eye, and determined to make her mark on the 45th Street marquees. A few months later, thanks to a mer stock company. He asked her to bone up on the part of Judy Linden-S-- a typical farm girl whose accent was pure Midwest, and whose face and figure were more silo than sex. - - stage manager who took a shine to her, she got her first part a three-lin- e rnle in a two- - act play that last-ed four perform-ances. For a solid and sobering year after that, Judy made the rounds, eating the usual health sal-ads and waiting on tables to pay for hfr f urn i ch a rl Jean Nathan singled her out for mention in his review the farm girl figured it was all over but the mov-ie offers, i One swell notice, however, doth not a star make, and when the play closed after a run of three months, Judy had to go back to reading the casting notes in Actors' Cues. By this time her family, fed up with her show business shenanigans, had put her on notice that the only further money she could expect would be train fare back to Nebraska. And so, to keep body and hopes alive, the would-b- e Helen Hayes went back to waiting on tables. Last April, after three grim years of was handed Judy the script of Keith Winters' old hit.

He told her he'd let her know definite-ly the following day, and she went back to her to wait. The next night the landlady smelted gas, but by the time the police arrived Judy was dead. On the bed by her side was the script of "The Shining Hour" opened to the scene in . Act Two where Judy Linden, tho farm girl, takes her own life.
