County Polio Drive
Will Open Monday

Marcft of Dimes set for Monday,
the Rev. Joyce V. Early, county
campaign director, today called upon
all residents of the county to join
in an »l-out drive for funds' needed
to stem the rising tide of polio.
“The 1951 March of Dimes be
gins Monday,” Mr. Early said, “and
lasts a little over two weeks. But in
Wxt Bailu
that short time -we can help
ands upon thousands of polio pat
ients for whom recovery is measured
in terms of ten or 20 or 50 weeks if
not longer, 1 think we owe them
the two weeks of our own efforts.
It is little enough—if we can save
some child from a lifetime of para
lysis.”
100,000. STRICKEN
Mr. Early revealed that more than
100,000 people were stricken by polio
in the years 1940-1950, with four out
of five of them receiving help in
whole or in part from the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
he organization which benefits from
the March of Dimes.
“Last fall,” Mr. Early said, “the
National Foundation ran out of
epidemic aid funds and had to call
upon whatever chapters were still
solvent to bolster Its central epi
demic emergency account, on be
half of chapters whose resources
had been . wiped out. From May
through August of last year, chap
ters were drawing $1,000,000 a mentis
from the epidemic aid fund.”

not requesting action on his dom

“The President was silent on
the Brannan (Farm) Plan and
civil rights,” Wherry said, “and
he made no clear reference to his
socialized health program.”
Mr. Truman said yesterday that
he has not abandoned his “Fair

“in an emergency like the pre
sent, -first things come first, and
our defense programs must have
top priority.”

Annual Report
Is Made To
The Congress
President Says He's
Giving Priority
To Armament Program
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—(UP)—
President Truman called on Con- -
gress today to increase taxes “much
more” than the $8,000,000,000 boost*
voted in 1950.
“The new tax increases . . . must
press harder upon every source of
available revenue,” the President
said in his annual economic report
to Congress.
Mr. Truman estimated that the
cost of the “primary national se
curity program” for the fiscal years
1951 and 1952 would be more than
$140,000,000,000.
The President included in his
$140,000,000,000 estimate "new obli
gational authority enacted or an
ticipated” for the armed forces, for
economic and military aid to other
countries, for atomic energy and
stockpiling and “related purposes.”
To finance the most expensive
program ever undertaken by this
country without a formal state of
war, the President said that cor
porations and individuals would
have to pay “much higher taxes.”
HIGHER EXCISE TAX
He also said that excise taxes
would have to be increased and
made more extensive.
“We should make it the first
principle of economic and fiscal
policy in these times to maintain a
balanced budget, and to finance the
cost of national defense on a ‘pay
as-we-go’ basis,” the President said
in a 7000-word message accompany
ing the annual economic review of
his council of economic advisers.
Mr. Truman did not deliver the
message to Congress in person. It
;was read by house clerks. The Sen
ate was not in session today.
/ Ir. Truman held up specific de
tails' oh Kfe tax 'proposals pending
completion of a message to Con
gress on the subject. He said the
message would go to the House and
the Senate “in the near future, as
-1 ter further consultations with legis
lative leaders.”
Mr. Truman did say, however,
that Congress should “increase
