8, 1050 Edgar A. Guest 11 Texans Named On Casually List Ine Poet Of The People LUXURY Luxury is a charmer gay, Lovely to know and fair to see, But win her and down to your dying day You'll vow that you've married your enemy. She'll give you ulcers to fret about, Swell your knuckles and stiffen your knees. The meals she cooks will make you stout And you'll be like peas. swallowing pills HIGHER TAXES COMING There are many uncertainties about the incident in Korea but its effect on the taxes of Americans is not one of them.

The taxes paid by both individuals and corporations will go up, probably beginning with some part of the taxes for the current year, and will remain higher for several years. This is inescapable, as the costs of military operations already have been increased greatly and will be higher for some time after the Korea incident and any complications are finished. The indications are that the tax boost will be big enough to hurt. It should be felt by every one with enough sharpness to be a reminder that no military operation is carried out ex- at a cost. The cost of a battle is almost always higher than the cost of preventing it.

We can easily see now that it would have been cheaper to fortify South Korea against Red invasion, and that it would have been cheaper still to prevent the division of Korea in the beginning, by forcing Russia to permit the United Nations to set up a government for the whole country. Instead we weakly permitted Russia to defy the United Nations With silver and crystal her table glows. Rich are her gravies; but, son, beware Luxury's truly man's worst of foes. Better are lobar and simple fare. (Copyright, 1950, Edgar A.

Guest.) then, and there followed a time inevitably when we dared not permit it any longer. All this is hindsigth, which has been wrongly called better than foresight. Foresight now may en- if'able us to avoid still larger military efforts in the future. It has not yet become completely clear what must do to prevent a third world war at some time, but what is learned from the Korea incident may help to point the way. Whatever the cost of prevention, it would certainly be less than cost of another war.

the READING AND VOTING Should persons who are not literate enough to read their ballots be allowed to The question has arisen in Ohio under unusual circumstances. The Massachusetts or office type ballot was adopted by referendum this year, and it is to be used for the first time in Novem- -ber. Previously a voter who could not read was able to vote a party ticket of his choice simply my marking an in the circle under the party emblem. Now the party emblem will be missing, and the voter will have to be able to read the wordp to know what he is doing. State officials are divided as to whether the voter who can't read is entitled to have help in the voting booth, like a voter who is physically unable to mark his own ballot.

It might be supposed that the ability to read is a standard requisite to voting. Yet only thirteen states have literacy tests for voters. In some cases the literacy test has been attacked as a device to deny the ballot to Negroes. The states which have literacy tests are widely scattered; the first was Connecticut in 1855. In this day there is no need for any voter to be unable to pass a reasonable literacy test.

It certainly is open to question whether a person who cannot do that is competent to vote intelligently. It is true that the Constitution does not make any requirement for intelligent voting. Evidence of ability to read seems to be little UNITED NATIONS FORCE It appears that a genuine United Nations fighting force will be developed in Korea if the fighting there continues long enough for the mechanical processes of gathering the force together. It further appears that the fighting is quite likely to continue that long. The number of nations which have promised to send troops is large enough to give the forces in Korea, when the promised troops have been delivered, the character of an actual United Nations police army.

The experience in Korea already has made it abundantly clear that the UN is not an effective organization without armed' force at its disposal. Its cease fire order in Korea was sheer waste of breath. It was plain from the outset that the guns could be silenced only by the weight of superior force. It also has become obvious that the aggressor force has gained a tremendous advantage by making use of the time needed to assemble police forces. Before United Nations strength can be ready in.

Korea the aggressors probably will be in physical possession of virtually all of their objectives, and the UN task will be not simply to enforce a cease fire, as it would have been at the beginning, but to restore the situation which existed before the fighting began. The second job is much harder than the first. In both the immediate and the long range future, these conditions of Korea are likely to be repeated whenever the similar need for UN police action recurs. When there is a real fighting threat to world peace, superior armed forces will be needed to quell it.

There is, for example, the homespun type for whom that occupation consists of chores from dawn to dark, and there is the effete gentlman who earns his living in town.and strides about his acres in riding breeches, casting a cursory eye over the agricultural processes. The latter type is the present target of govern- men tax collectors, who fear that his idea of his losses may be slightly exaggerated. If his farm is not operated in a way in which a profit can be realized, if his receipts fall too far below his itemized expenses, or if his position as a loser in the game seems to be more or less permanent, this so-called farmer is in line for readjustment. We suspect that if this investigation is rigorously carried out the ranks of gentlemen farmers may be radically thinned. A farm can be a very expensive toy.

The land will yield its riches only to those who understand it and who take it seriously. It allies itself with the tax collector to change the attitude of the absentee farmer. An old danger is reappearing. The Federal Eeserve bank reports that people are spending too large a proportion of their pay checks on installment goods and mortgages, leaving too little for necessities. That got us into trouble in the crash of twenty years ago.

It could do so again. Mexia Guhers 6-6 Richland 'g 7 Rice 4 Pursley 3 Miss Zula Liner, Garland D.

Need for negotiations, however, will be greater than ever "when Jnited Nations action has succeeded In restoring peace to Korea," Lie wrote.

'I do not believe that member states adhering to the charter can ever accept the doctrine of irreconcilable and Irrevocable division of 'he world Into warring camps, not long as the least possibility ex- sts of preventing a third World War by. peaceful settlements based the principles of the charter. "But I also believe It will take lothing less than a bold and en- ightened act of statesmanship to irinp about a resumption of nego- lations and to halt further deter- oration towards another world var." The report termed a successful onclusion to the UK military ao- ion In Korea "first for member nations but added: "This does not mean, however, hat either the member governments, or I as secretary-general, hould abandon efforts for peace negotiation, conciliation and mediation." Lie's report was distributed among the 59 member delegations as the security council prepared to take up aga'n Tuesday the Soviet Union's demand to seat Communist North Korea and Bed China at the council table during debate on tho Korean Issue. An American spokesman said Saturday that this would be like Invlt'ne to tea a man who has burned down your front porch. He said the United States would oppose the Russian move.

Shortly after his report was made ubllc, Lie said in a radio broad- ast that the Korean crisis has rought with it the most serious anger to peace since the was ounded in 1045. He said North Ko- ean forces had made a well-pre- arcd attack on the UN-backed re- ublic of Korea, and that all mem- er governments have a duty to ring the U. N. action In Korea to successful conclusion. High points in Lie's report were: 1.

The best approach to a solu- on of outstanding problems would a meeting of top-ranking offi- lals of the big powers. 2 China's seat in the UN should given to tho. government which ctually controls most of China, in to the Chinese Communists 1 ce they control the mainland. iSu uch a need for man ind to pool resources for higher of life and greater so- la! programs, It would be tragic or political strife to destroy the roundwork laid by the UN in eco- omlc and social fields verv reasonable step should taken to enable all nations of jhe world to belong to the CN. ourteen countries now are seek- ng admission.

The Soviet Union has vetoed nine of them. 5. UN specialized agencies have emonstrated potentialities for pro- noting peace and prosperity but jese potentialities remain 'unrea- ize-d because of non-participation some countries and the small mount of aid given by most partl- 'patlnc; 6. The expanded UN program of echnical assistance for economic eveiopment Is a good beginning ut only a beginning A vast pro- gram of self-help and mutual aid is CONTROLS CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE ing controls. The section dealing with that authority says wuge controls would have to be put into effect generally whenever price ceilings had been established on a selective basis "on sales at retail and materially affecting the cost of living." Those three steps would not wave to be taken In sequence.

The bill would authorize Truman to put general waga-prtee-ratlon- ing controls Into effect immediately, If he wanted to, w'thout resorting first to the voluntary steps and selective controls. Meanwhile, the house banking committee recessed to await the senate group's action. To give its committee time to work out a compromise, the house tossed aside the controversial controls bill until Tuesday after having spent almost all of last week getting nowhere. Its leaders said they were confl- lent now that a compromise would be fortncomlng in time for house passage Wednesday. Spokesmen for the disputing groups which have held up action said they were ready to come to terms.

The terms on which they seemed likely to agree would give the president stand-by authority to: (1) allocate materials and say who has first call on them. (2) invoke wage and price controls, (3) order rationing of scarce materials (4) make government loans to spur production and (5) control the extension of credit APPOINTEES CONTINUED FROM FIRST to -let the Impression "et abroad in Virginia that the way to get federal job is to be a Byrd opponent.

He said his attorney would file suit in District Court in Dallas contesting the legality of Brooks being certified as a run-off candidate. The petition questioned by Davis State Chairman oo John C. Calhoun prior to the com- mitte's certification of names for the July 22 primary. Before today's brief meeting bean, Calhoun had expressed fear a controversy might develop over seating of contested county delega tions at the September 12 state convention at Mineral Wells.

No controversy developed Calhoun said he had been impressed with the efforts of Gov Shivers in seeking harmony within the party organization. "He has set something of a precedent," Calhoun said. The governor has met with the committee and with individual commute members on numeious in what were appanent- "good will gatherings." The governoh's speech was the first item before the commltte.

Hook also apparently has some-' Democratic critics among senators, INTELLIGENCE CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE fectlvely than were those from Korea, The senate appropriations committee inquired briefly into the nature of intelligence reports from Korea a few days after the Com munist invasivjn. Rear Admiral R. Hillenkoetter, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said then his agency has reports dating back a full year to show that North Kroea was massing troops- and equipment along the border.

But Hillenkoetter said his agency merely passed these reports on to other government 1 departments without evaluating them. Byrd said he is particularly disturbed because American military leaders apparently thought the North Koreans had committed most of their troops to the fighting 1C days ago' but now find that additional Communists reserves have been poured into the battle. Without referring to intelligence reports, Senator Tydings (D-Md) said in a week-end radio broadcast that top military leaders are confident, despite the evident ability of the North Koreans to concen trate more and more troops, that Communist advances in Korea havp been slowed down. But Tydings, armed services chairman of the committee, added that "there's still a long way to go and there's bloody fighting ahead." Tyding's also said that the western powers, with "a large (U. stockpile of atomic bombs as compared with what Russia likely has," probably enjoy "great predominance" over the Soviets in air- power.

But he said the reverse is true of ground forces and that this country should do all it can to build up its military manpower. He the U. S. should persuade friendly Western European nations to "put more and more speed in their rearmament and help them with money. Courthouse News District Court.

A pair of city officers and Bailey, liquor control board Inspector, stopped the merriment in. one of the biggest raids staged in some time. Seized were over 20 cases of beer, a large quantity wine, whiskey and gin, and a nlckle- grabbinir slot, machine that was being played when officers arrived, it was reported. Estimates of the number of patrons in the place ranged from 30 to 100 one negro who wag with the gay crowd agreed the place was pretty crowded. Scene of 'the illicit activity Was the rear of the grocery store.

It was reported that "beer was on every table" in what apparently was a typical night club atmosphere. The operator was a white woman, who was charged Saturday morning with violation of the pro. hibition laws. Other charges may be filed in the case.
