Br BRUCE W. MUNN United Press Correspondent Born of the World War II mar riage of Communism and Democ racy, its youth blighted by the cold war, the United Nations faces the future with one con viction: It is here to stay. Its 10-year history has been largely a record of strife and dissension, of efforts too often unsuccessful to make peace and of fruitless attempts to ease the tension between Russia and the West. Now Russia, appears to be exe cuting an about face. It has made peace with Austria. It has apolo gized to Yugoslavia. It has made overtures to the Western-backed German republic and. with an outward show of friendliness, it has agreed to next month's "summit meeting" of the Big Four chiefs of state. Guardian of Peace The question arises: If Russia is sincere and the cold war even tually is ended, what is the role of the United Nations in the fu- .. ture? Secretary - General Dag , Hammarskjold's answer is this - "'To the extent that countries succeed in an attempt at world wide cooperation, the United Na tions automatically gets back very close to the center of things. The United Nations is something unavoidable." And if all the good fellowship is nothing more than a Russian ruse, the United Nations still will hold the center stage in continuing efforts to keep the peace of the world. U.N. diplomats point out that the world organization was cre ated not to make, but to keep, the peace. Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, Nobel Prize-winning architect of the Palestine peace, has ob served: ' "Except in Korea, it has been able to keep nations talking tagged EEHEll JL So smooth it leaves you breathless irrirnoff VODKA SO proof Mmdt from 1 DOT (tain neutral spina.

(International) Tax Council Seeks Federal Limit on Chicago U.R) Taxpayers, take heart. . The Western Tax Council says the drive to limit peacetime fed eral income taxes is "close to fulfillment." The council seeks to have a limit imposed on income taxes through adoption of a constitu tional amendment. To accomplish this, 32 or two thirds of the 48 states must peti tion Congress to draft such an amendment. Last month, Oklahoma be came the 30th state to make such a demand. "'Only two more states to go, Father's Day June 19, 1955 MEDFORO'S FINEST MEN'S STORE MAIN AT CENTRAL and Congress will have to act," said Frank E. Packard, execu tive director of the tax council. Would Limit Top Rate Packard said the proposed amendment would limit income taxes in peacetime to a top rate of between 25 and 35 per cent, compared with the current top of 91 per cent. : v All lesser rates would be scaled down proportionately, he said, with a minimum . rate . of about 5 per cent. The minimum now is 20 per cent. Oklahoma's Legislature voted to petition Congress for the amendment May 23. If two more states follow suit, Congress then 'must draft the tax-limiting resolution and sub mit it to the state Legislatures for ratification. The amendment then must be ratified by 36 state legislatures to become law. "A ceiling on federal tax rates is in the American tradition," Packard said. "The constitutions , of 17 states limit the state taxing power, and 43 states limit the right to bor row." . , - - . Packard said all local govern ments, by law or charter, operate under restrictions limiting their taxing power. Powers Boundless ' "Only the federal taxing pow ers are boundless," he said. "Washington could legally tax all citizens up "to 100 per cent of their income today, and there 13 DAYS TO GO!

The United Nations will con tinue to be the "town meeting of the world," the universal forum in which all sides can be heard and the meeting place af fording an opportunity for op posing diplomats to meet face to face and explore the possi bility of agreement. A highlight of the United Na tions' past history was the chance meeting of Dr. Philip Jes sup of the United States and Jacob A. Malik of Russia in the Security Council lounge which led to the lifting of the 1948 Ber lin blockade. In these informal talks, Jessup and Malik found a basis for the agreement which ended the siege. In its tumultuous 10 years, the United Nations largely has lived down the cry that it was de signed as a super-government. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. dismisses that bogey thusly: "It is not a world government. It cannot impose a tax of any kind. It cannot draft a single soldier. Its charter specifically prohibits intervention in domes tice matters. Your representative at the United Nations is called an ambassador by act of Con gress, for the simple reason that he represents a sovereign state and not a political subdivision. "Those who fear that there is any danger of a super-government in the United Nations are in error. The suspicion which is sometimes expressed that cer tain agencies in the United Na tions are cooking up a global socialistic brew which the Presi dent or the secretary of state or . the Senate will ultimately destroy our laws and system of government that suspiciion is sheer fantasy and there is noth ing to justify it in either the theory or the practice of the United Nations." Western Hotels Said Failing To Keep Pace Los Angeles (U.R) -Henry T. Maschal, a San Francisco auditor and accountant, told Southern California Hotel Association members that hotels in the West have failed to , keep pace with the region's growth. Addressing the members at a meeting here yesterday Maschal pointed out that motels on the other hand were doing a IVi bil lion dollar "national business to day, up more than 800 per cent in 10 years. ' He said that hotel occupancy fell from 92 per cent in 1945 to 74 per cent in 1955, or a 20 per cent loss in 10 years. "It is clear that the hotel busi ness generally, and in the West ern states particularly, has been losing ground, in the competitive struggle for customers," Maschal edded. "On the Point-" So.
