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

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,

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

rather than shooting, and even
in Korea there surely would
have been far more and far
wider shooting had there been
no United Nations."
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.
