THE cease-fire talks droned on in Kaesong as the shooting war
continued elsewhere in Korea. United Kations pressure increased
along most of the front with artillery and naval guns pounding the
foe in "line-straightening" operations. Air strikes continued on Pyong
yang, the North Korean capital,
: for the front i
The truce talks still appeared dead-
: locked on the subject of a buffer zone.
. The Communists want it on the 38th
Parallel, old political dividing line
between North and South Korea. The
Allies want it generally along the
present battle line, much of which; is
north of the parallel. '
f Armistie Notes
While official negotiations went on
-' In Kaesong, it was learned the Chi
' ztese Reds have been sending notes to
- small Allied units inviting them to
snake an informal armistice of their
own. The Red notes suggested that
. they meet together under white flags
for a friendly party' in No Man's
. Land.
In ah effort to find a compromise
- on the location of a buffer zone, offi
cial negotiators on both sides agreed
- to the appointment of a subcommittee
to study the problem. It was hoped
, Informal discussions by a smaller
- group might find room for agreement
' where full dress discussions had
- failed. ., . , ;, . .
Ambush In Neutral Zone
But a new crisis developed which
threatened again to disrupt efforts to
end the war. A Chinese Communist
soldier was killed and another wound
d in an ambush in the neutral zone
set up about Kaesong for the truce
. talks.- r.-:T - U
North Korean Gen. Nam II, head of

"It was the work of Allied troops and
or South Koreans.

HURRICANES: Bred in the Caribbean
The Watch !$ On 1
The hurricane season is now here!
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

and the baguio in the Philippines. - j

Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga) has
laid down the law to the Senate
Finance Committee which he heads.
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.
Tax recommendations of the com
mittee will be given Immediate con
sideration on the Senate floor. Enact
ment of a new tax law is one of the
big obstacles: in the way of a Congres

cluded it has absorbed all the soft
spots in the European and Asian

The latest Red attempts at expan

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.

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.

Ian to defense production.
