12 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Ore Tue., July 19, 1949 No Tax Increase Requested In Economic Report Of President By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON (NEA President Truman'l latest economic report to Congress looks considerably different from the report of last January. The new report has two things in it which hadn't been unveiled when the January report was made. One is the Brannan farm plan. The other is the President's "Point IV" program for economic assistance for underdeveloped countries, first presented in the in augural message, The President is still for both of these things, though he doesn't refer to the farm plan as being Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan's. The President merely calls it "an improved pro gram of farm Income supports." He doesn't stress any possible savings to consumers. In January the President rec ommended an increase in taxes to raise an additional $4,uuu,uuu, 000 a year. He advised raising the money by increasing taxes on corporations, on upper Income brackets, and by some unspeci fied additional excise taxes. In the new midyear report the President says: "No major in crease In taxes should be under taken at this time." He goes even further by proposing the repeal of taxes on transportation of goods, the liberalization of tax laws to permit corporations to carry over their losses from one year to the next. It would be wrong to say that these proposed changes in fiscal policy represent a complete re versal of the President's January position. In the January report, the President gave himself an out . hv savlne: "The national tax pol- lev should be flexible and should be promptly adjusted to the changing needs of business " The main themes of the Presi dent's January economic report were how to combat inflation and how to protect the victims of in flation. Most of that Inflation still seems to be here. But the new midyear report doesn't repeat the January requests for selective price and wage controls. In the interval, Congress has extended only rent controls. The President will probably be ridiculed for -what appears to be backing out on some of his rec ommendations of six months ago. But in this new report he pre sents arguments seeking to Justi fy those recommendations as having been sound at the time they were made. "Our position (today) would be stronger if we had taken ade quate steps to control Inflation be tween 1945 and 1949," he writes. On a number of other legisla tive recommendations in the President's new midyear report, he is merely repeating proposals from January and previous mes sages. He still favors increasing the minimum wage standard from 40 to 75 cents an hour. It now looks as though he might get it. "He still favors increasing un employment insurance payments to $30 a week, lengthening the time they shall be paid to 30 weeks and extending benefits to many workers not now covered. The President also recommended extension for another year of the veterans' readjustment unem ployment benefits. He likewise repeats previous recommendations for Increasing social security benefit payments to the aged, the blind, the needy. The main theme of the new re port, however, is on the avoid ance of a possible future depres sion. The President says the country can't have prosperity by cutting employment or wages or essential government programs, so he doesn't propose to cut them. Instead, he rcneats his January requests for public works plan ningthough no greater con struction and for surveys on the development of Industry in an ex panding economy. The President was severely beat over the head when he proposed such steps be fore. He may be In for further beatings for proposing them again,, even though he does not overemphasize them.

Officials View' Fire Hazards In Umpqua Forest Two top forest service officials were impressed with the increas ing fire dangers of the Umpqua National forest, Forest Supervis or M. M. "Red" Nelson reported today. Nelson and Fire Assistant Ray Hampton accompanied C. A. Gus tafson, chief of the division of fire control, Washington, D. C, and Kermit Llndstedt, fire control chief for Oregon and Washing ton on a tour of the forest area last week. Nelson said both Gustafson and Llndstedt were outspoken about the difficulties of fire prevention in this area. The two visiting for est ofliclals were especially con cerned with the dangers which would be encountered in fighting fires in old burns and logging slash areas. Because of the Increasing dan gers caused by logging activities, Nelson said his office will be charged with more protective and preventative measures in the fu ture. The visiting officials left Nel son and Hampton at Diamond lake Tuesday night when reports of the Malheur fire indicated the severity of that blaze. The tour was to have taken the men along the North Umpqua and Little rivers, and Into the Bohemia dis trict. Nelson said he and Hampton remained at Diamond lake to make a thorough Inspection of the lookouts in that vicinity and to check the future sales area. Th6y returned to Roseburg Friday. Bug Sends Leading Lady Screaming Off Stage DALLAS, Texas, July 18.-OP) The final performance of "Bloomer Girl" at the Starlight operetta stopped abruptly last night when the leading lady ran screaming off the stage. - The cause of It all was a bug, which hit Miss Nanette Fabray in the face and then fell' down her bosom.

They heard Gov. Thomas E. Dewey urge that western Europe be made into one large area for the free exchange of goods and services as in the United States. Admiral W. H. P. Blandy, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, told the delegates that "the atom bomb will not destroy civili zation." Registrations for the five-day convention indicated an atten dance of at least 30,000 delegates. Families, in many instances, ac company the delegates to lions conventions and the program in cludes special entertainment fea tures for the women and chil dren. One of the colorful numbers on Monday's program was the an nual presentation of flags of all 26 countries in which there are Lion clubs, with young women dressed in native costumes repre senting each country. Governor Dewey, in his address of welcome, said it was important that the senate "with real enthu siasm," ratify the North Atlantic treaty. Admiral Blandy, speaking on the subject "is the atom bomb overrated?" drew these four main conclusions in his summary: "1. The statement that 'there is no defense against the atom bomb' is an exaggeration. "2. The atom bomb will not de stroy civilization. "3. The atom bomb is a major deterrent to war; but it will not retain this distinction Indefinitely. "4. The atom bomb is an im mensely potent engine of destruc tion; but It Is not the absolute weapon of decision." Janice Harvell, 17-year-old school girl of Carolina Beach, N.
