Prices At All-Time High President Truman warned the American taxpayers again this week to get prepared for the highest taxes they have ever been called to pay. This he said, is necessary to finance the huge expenditures which the war preparation is going to demand. His latest estimate is that taxes may be increased as high as 20 per cent. Coincident with this drastic increase in taxes is the increase in other areas on commodities for the American home. In this connection, Moody's Stock Survey points out the danger we face from inflation and cites figures in the swift advances in price rises: Here is a sample of the survey: Wholesale prices in Dec. up 10.2 per. cent since June. Retail food prices up since June 5.7 per cent higher in Dec., more than double 35-39 average. Nn pre-war 40 odd cents would buy as much food as $1 today. From pre-June level eggs up 66 percent, coffee up 15 per cent. Rents were also hiked within this per-June period, with Housing Expediter approving 973,542 rent hikes in first 11 months of 1950which amounted to $100 million extra for lords. In Addition, there were approximately 4 million rental units from which rent controls were removed." Even now with wage and price controls a certainty, there is a fear that inflation will overtake us. For not only, have prices reached and all-time peak but profits have been' shown to reach new proportion. Here is also a sample. As of third quarter of 1950, there were between $42 billions and 24.4 billion realized before and after taxes were deducted. The unprecedented post June profits the price rises and drop in purchasing power for average man's dollar. The second quarter of 1950. And the largest corporations; continued to earn the highest rate, 17.2 per cent for the second quarter. The gifruse g-oeeyoSgfTes darhtd hod htdohthodthod These figures could be continued. But there can be no special reason for so doing. The important thing is that the race between consumer prices and corporation profits is not the kind of healthy signs one should expect to avoid inflation for between this race the working people are placed in a vise from which it is next to impossible for them to escape.

Negro Reporter Admitted To Press Galleries Roscoe C. Simmons, columnist for the Washington Times Herald and Chicago Tribune, was accredited to the Senate and House of Representatives Press galleries last week. Simmons became the third Negro member of the regular press galleries and the first to be admitted as the representative of a white daily paper. Louis Lautier of the Negro Newspapers Publishers association was the first Negro to be admitted to the galleries in 1947 after certain technical rules of the Standing committee were changed by order of the Senate Rules committee. The rule change was the result of an extensive fight carried on by individual reporters, certain news papers, and organizations and finally by an open hearing in the Rules committee. A few months following Lautier's admittance, Alice A. Dunnigan of the Associated Press was accepted as a member of the galleries. For nearly four years no other Negro reporters was accepted. Simmons is a veteran writer, lecturer, and for many years a professional. Republican leader and worker. He has been connected with newspapers for a long period of time. He is a regular contributer to the Washington Eagle, the official organ of the Elks lodge. It is rumored he has been offered the editorship of that monthly publication. Capt.

Battle denied the charges pointing out that Negroes were on the grand jury which indicted the doomed men. Battle said: "They"ve had six trials. Seventytwo Jurors haye thought them guilty of this most atrocious crime ever committed in the United States. "There cannot be any escape from their guilt. Talk about a pardon is out of the Question." The delegation also protested the "strange disappearance" of the woman who was assaulted, but the governor, said she is now in a hospital in West Virginia. After the discussion, the Rev. Amos Murphy of Lawrence, Mass, commented: "If these men die," those responsible for the execution will live in infamy. "My conviction is confirmed that the court record won't stand up under the scrutiny of the people of the United States and the world. The deliberate hiding of the woman who claimed she was raped will even less stand scrutiny." Four of the convicted men Jce Henry Hampton, Frank Hairston, Jr., Booker T. Miller and Howard Hairston — are to be executed Friday. Execution is scheduled Monday for Francis Desales Grayson, John Clabon Taylor and James Luther Hairston. U.N. Infantry ed the previous day. Sixteen inch shells from the "big mo" roared into the port just below swarms of carrier based aircraft from task force 77 delivering fiery curtains of jellied gasoline and bombs. Schakne's dispatch on fighting in the central sector said that two American companies were "pinned down" in fire fights above Kumyangjang and just behind them a U. S. battalion was receiving heavy mortar fire Wednesday afternoon. Farther east a UN patrol engaged an unknown number of the enemy three milles northeast of Sinchon, where earlier in the week another patrol was rescued from a Communist trap by an allied relief patrol. Sinchon is eight miles northeast of Yoju, approximately midway between Kumyangjang and the central anchor base of Wonju. Schakne reported that during the American "banzai" charge Tuesday north of Inchon "many an individual soldier immortalized himself among his buddies with herculean single-handed efforts against two or three Chinese at once." At many points along the 40-mile front from Yoju to Suwon the Chinese resorted to a trick well remembered by American soldiers who had fought the Japanese during the Second World War. Withdrawing Chinese left single soldiers behind in camouflaged foxholes, to die but only after popping up behind the advancing Americans occupying abandoned positions. Chief air action besides the incessant close-support pounding of the Chinese was a 15-bomber raid on the North Korean capital of Pyongyang by superforts. Memphis tained in their positions for 1951 is because of the Society's success in having the city of Memphis selected as the host city for the National Dental Association's annual convention.
