Military Not Included lb Security Council -By DAVID LAWRENCE WASHINGTON May 30 With the widening of the world crisis that has been going on since June 1950, it might, be thought that President Truman would add to the National Security Council the three-civ-ilian heads of the armed services. But he has not done so, even though an act of Congress authorizes him to makes such appointments. mmmtom the tax payable under present legislation by should see them every taxpayer, including those at the bottom of mm JOE FRISCO, the comedians' WILSON comedian, now 61, just came to NY the income pyramid. And why does the President ask this amount of money for foreign aid 1 Because his military advisers have assured him that is the minimum sum required to mobilize the actual and potential allies to whom we are looking for assistance in reciprocal defense. As Mr.

Truman puts it, ''Our aid will be provided only for essential needs that the countries cannot meet by their own efforts." And why do our allies need this much aid? Because the only other way they could pay for what they need in military items would be by orintinj? up wads of printing-press money that from Hollywood, the first time in 7 years, to appear on the Milton.

Congress in 1947 passed legislation- and then in 1849 added certain provisions covering the manner in which the national security of this country was to be protected. The law specified that a National Security Council be established "to assess and appraise the objectives, commitments, and risks of the United States in relation to our actual and potential military power, in the interest of national security." as a member of it but am This would seem to be the at their meetings when I am avail-place where Korean policy, risks able, and sit next to the secretary of war with Russia and kindred 0f defense and help present the matters would receive high-level defense department's views to the consideration and where decisions national security council would be made.

Tentative order calls for a 30 reduction in allocations of steel for new farm machines, beginning July 1. Agriculture Department, hopping mad, is doing its best to prevent the cut from going through.

Officials thought, they had the NPA committed to adequate supplies of steel for farm machinery, but they failed to get a promise nailed down. Machinery manufacturers have about used up their backlog of steel. Cut will hit first and hardest on harvesting machinery, if it stands as now drawn. It will mean one-third fewer new machines next year. Higher taxes are certain.

House approval of an increase ranging from 3.4 to 15, and averaging 12.5, probably will be okayed by the Senate. Largest percentage increase is for higher income brackets. Seasonal and area differentials on farm commodity prices are being worked out by OPS and USDA. Data is expected to be used in establishing flexible rather than rigid ceilings. Stabilization officials so far have insisted that ceilings remain unchanged from month to month.

USDA has warned that such a schedule would seriously disrupt normal marketing practices result in gluts and scarcities. Normal seasonal variations in prices distribute marketings more evenly over the entire year; encourage the shortage in periods of seasonally low prices for distribution. during other times. Market prices of most farm com-modies vary seasonally by from 6 to 7 for cotton to as much as 30 on eggs. BAE figures show the normal variation on such basic commodities as wheat, cotton, corn, soybeans, hogs and beef cattle.

Elfreths Alley Of Rare Colonial Vintage THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Opportunity often, looks so much like hard work that most people never recognize it. COLONIAL ALLEY MORE THAN 200 YEARS OLD If you are planning to be in Philadelphia this weekend you will want to visit Elfreth's Alley and enjoy the rare opportunity of turning back pages of history and relieving for a few minutes or a few hours a chapter of the past. Even' year around the first of June the El freth's Alley Association, in cooperation with the present residents of that quaint Philadelphia street, stage what is known as- Elfreth's Alley Day.

Elfreth's Alley, named for Henry Elfreth, one of the city's earliest settlers, is one block long, and a stage-coach must have had difficulty in negotiating its narrow cartway. But it is said to be the oldest street of colonial row houses in North thirty-three little brick homes, each over 200 years old still are occupied by just average citizens. This weekend the members of the association together with many of the-residents of the alley, will dress Colonial garb. There will be a Town Crier in three-cornered hat and fancy waistcoat shuffling along the cobblestone, ringing his bell and shouting "Hear ye! Hear ye!" while ladies in hoop skirts and gentlemen in silk knee breeches and powdered wigs gathered around to listen to the news and latest proclamations. There will be wandering musicians strumming their fiddles and singing folk songs.

There will be an afternoon tea and a square dance in the evening. Anyone planning to be in Philadelphia will find it worthwhile to visit this colorful celebration. The, row of houses on Elfreth's Alley were built in 1694. Several of these houses are always open to the public particularly the artists shop and the old coach house. And there is much to see, inside and out, for those who enjoy the rare relics of bygone days doors (Continued on Page 18) todo the really substantial cutting is indicated by NEW YORK', "Certainly," said Catlett.

"What is it?" "Don't tell Jessel," said Coilyer. At the funeral Frank Craven, paying the tribute, said: "Willie Collyear was a man who loved a laugh." "Yes, if he got it," chimed in Catlett. Mrs. Coilyer said to Catlett, "That's right, Walter." our, British Socialist friends who have begun to cut back overgenerous nondefense expenditures. We must raise taxes more and cut nondefense expenditures more or fall victim ourselves to the very inflation perils from which our aid programs seek to rescue our allies.

festival, began BINGAY hunting for a pair of hips, and other things to fit tbe role of Cleopatra. The feminine civic leaders said no, definitely. Nellie says no Cleo, no pageant. I would like to give Nellie what might be paradoxically my moral support. I think Cleopatra has been a much maligned woman' through the ages- It is time the naked, truth was revealed.

Little is known about the poor thing. All we. have are a few pages from Plutarch's "lives." And it is known that this Greek gossip cblumist let his fancy roam on Roman affairs. I AGREE his report is one of the most fascinating in literature as he tells of how Cleo, planning her own death, tries out all the various poisons on slaves to make sure that she got the most painless one. She finally decided on having an asp bite her, as one bite put the victim to quiet sleep with pleasant dreams.

However, there are those whe doubt what you might call this aspect. Herpatologists who study such matters say there is no such thing as a painless and pleasent bite of a poisonous snake, which adds to my suspicion that Plutarch needed a good city editor.

GOOD RUMOR MAN: Jolly WASHINGTON, May 30 Starting in 1953, or more accurately, in the fiscal year of 1954 (July 1, 1953 to July 1954), the United States will have to spend between $25 and $30 billion dollars a year to maintain the armed forces of 3.500,000 men that we are now building with the modern weapons to arm such a force. This is the figure given by Under Secretary of Defense Robert A.

Lovett. He says, "It will take" 8 to 10 per' cent of the nation's productive income to maintain a peace time force of that size. This is a figure that the country can very easily stand." Historically, the Under Kprrptaru it mrM vatmnai Centennial banquet of St. James Bishop Loughlin H. S.

Economic theorists say a tax burden of less than 30 per cent of the national income can be easily borne by a country. If tbe burden goes over one third of a nation's national income, then the country better watch out. With a.

$30 billion a year expenditure for the armed forces, and a additional 30 billion for other government costs, the tax load would be slightly in excess of 17 per cent a. year. In a modern nation, this is a light tax load. So the promise seems to be that if neither war nor depression comes along, if inflation can be controlled and the economy kept sound, then this country will be in the best financial condition in years when the mobilization program ends in 1953.
