In the Gulf of Mexico and the Carib- . bean Sea. These are breeding grounds j of violent tropical storms like the one 1 last week that struck Jamaica and ! Yucatan. .-' What is a hurricane? It's a tropical storm of circular pattern. Its revolv ing winds often reach speeds as high as 125 to 150 miles an hour, with gusts 1 even faster. i Wide Range - . j The diameter of the storm varies; from around 25 to as much as 400 to ; 500 miles. In the center is a relatively calm area, called the "eye" of the storm. - While the hurricane swirls it moves forward but at a much slower pace. Often only 10 to 12 miles an hour, j Hurricanes are born in the doldrums on either side of the equator. In the; northern hemisphere t they revolve, counter-clockwise; in the southern hemisphere, clockwise, y i ; l ;i J What we call the hurricane is : called the typhoon in the China Sea; and the baguio in the Philippines. - j Peak In September ' - - s .

He wants his group to get down to brass tacks and write a new tax bill in time for presentation to the Senate by September 1. j They 'are studying a House-passed tax boost which would add about five billion dollars for the rest of this year and 12 billion annually thereafter. Some committee members hope to prune another billion lor two off the House-approved total, even though President han requested an increase of 10 billion dollars, J None of the committee can estimate how much of a tax increase finally will be recommended. Sen. George said they were not approaching the tax problem from a fiye, six or seven billion dollar basis.

RUSSIA: Offensive Peace Offensives GNE school of I experts, study ing current Soviet diplomatic moves, is almost; convinced that Premier Stalin Would like to reach a broad understanding with the westat a" price. This is the basis for a growing suspicion among these observers that the cold war, which Russia initiated, has become too hot for Red tastes. No Soft Spots Left . Moscow, intent on expanding Com munist frontiers by all means short of full scale war, may now have con cluded it has absorbed all the soft spots in the European and Asian periphery. ; ' - The latest Red attempts at expan sion have been met by forthright opposition and, in each case, Moscow has backed off from the ultimate showdown. Russia, it would seem, is in no postion to risk all-out war now. A study cf events since the break down of Big Four conferences on Ger many shows an almost uninterrupted sequence of Soviet, diplomatic and semi-military reverses, These include the Berlin blockade, circumvented by the Allied airlift; failure of -he guerrilla revolt in Greece; political defeats of Commu nist parties in France, Italy and west Germany; Tito's defection In Yugo slavia and a spreading wave of unrest in the satellites. , !.

Industry Converts IN THE three months before the Korean invasion, the , annual rate of U.S. production was 275 billion dolars. In the first three months of this year it rose to 319 billion dollars. During the second quarter of this 'year, it rose to; an annual rate of 325.6 billion dollars. -This last increase is accounted for primarily by government spending in the defense . program. During .the April-May-June quarter, spending by federal, state and; local government agencies rose from an annual rate of 53 billion to 60 billion dollars. 4 Highest In History If" Actually, the nation is producing more in goods and services than ever before in history. But much of this is for arms and the related tools of war and the taxpayers is going to have to foot the bill. i ' The President's Council of Eco nomic Advisors disclosed that Indus trial production dropped sharply in July and August The board said the drop was caused by a decline in pro duction of civilian goods to make way for increased production of defense needs. r. The Commerce Department survey ; shows that government spending rose during the second quarter and con sumer .buying dropped. i .' Civilian Spending Off During thr first three months of 1951, the public was buying at fan annual rate of 208.2 billion dollars. During the second quarter this spend ing' was cut back by three per cent to 201.7 billion, statisticians found - This cutback in private spending apparently does not come from any slump in national income. The De partment found personal incomes in creasing more than two per cent dur ing the second quarter to reach the record annual rate of 251.1 billion dollars. I S ? The increase in wages and salaries, on a yearly scale, is put at five billion dollars. Government payrolls "made the greatest proportionate advance. reflecting the steady shift from civil- Ian to defense production. 4 - Aerial 1 1 Records Fall The book of American and world speed records had to be rewritten after the National Air Races at De troit. . . it' Only one record, civilian or mili tary, withstood assaults In whit ex perts agreed was the greatest dCmon- rtration of air power in histort. f .
