Taft - “Mr. Republican” - said to day he is preparing to write a book enlarging his views on foreign policy. The work, as yet unnamed, will let him spell out his foreign policy program before the 1952 Republi can convention, a,t which he will probably be a major contender for the OOP presidential nomination. The Ohioan, the dominant GOP voice in Congress on domestic af fairs, has emerged as an important Republican spokesman on America's role in the world during the his toric debate on sending U. Si troops to defend Europe. Taft opposes sending the troops unless Congress first gives permission. Taft said he did not know how soon it will be before his book is ready for publication. v ELSEWHERE IN CdNGRESS Crime The Senate Crime Committee called in Income tax officials to find out just how they propose to catch underworld lea ders who are cheating the govern ment on their tax returns. The committee said many, if not all, of the returns submitted for the gamblers and gangsters are fraud ulent and the deceit may cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars.

Some of the lines going to form that picture are these: The Advisory Budget ' Commission in 1948 estimated rev enue for the fiscal year ending next June 30 at $l2B millions. By the fall of 1950 that estimate had been upped to 8146 million, and last week Revenue Commissioner Eugene Shaw again upped it to $167 millions. The Budget Com mission last fall anticipated a carry-over Into the 1951-52 year of 811 mutton; now It is evident the balance will be about double that, or $22 millions, from which must 1 be paid about seven and a half millions to effectuate the contin gency schol teacher salaries (which would have been paid out of thp 911 million) and perhaps half a million in other special allocations, leaving a carry-over of about 914 million instead of m net of 94 mu ttons. With estimated receipts of 9175 million, that means availabil ity of 9171 millions next year, in stead of the 9150 millions consid ered when the budget was made 1 up.

C. Swan son, Redden New, “and some others whose names I can’t re call just now”, that he would hold up final action on the bill until April 3. Meanwhile, Senator Young, who said “the bill is merely per missive and was introduced at the request of th.a Erwin Cotton Mills Company,” declared: “I am through with the bill—it is now in the hands of Representative Gregory.” As it passed the Senate and House last week, the measure pro vided that in event Dunn leases, purchases, or acquires the water distribution and sewerage systems in Erwin the rates to be charged Erwin residents by the Town of Dunn, which owns the water plant that supplies both Dunn and Erwin with water, will be fixed by the State Utilities Commission.

"Never before have we faced * menace of this magnitude.” Ache-' son told a conference of foreign, ministers of the 21 American re publics. “It call? for action now. ,' . each must do his full share.” • j. Acheson urged this program: 1. Curb inflation on an tional scale; increase production of raw materials. 2. Prepare at the earliest possible,': time a coordinated defense for hemisphere. 3. Tighten internal securi w against communists, but at the same time'protect “basic democra tic institutions.” This was the conference’s first direct reference to civil liberties,, which include freedom of the pres*.: NO MENTION OF PAPER Acheson did not mention thir closing of La Prensa, the gres& Buenos Aires newspaper, but del~ egates who have followed the case) of La Prensa carefully noted Adj-$ eson’s words. "We should consult as to the practical steps we may take, to*' gether and individually,, to ensure the maximum protection and strengthening of our basic demo cratic institutions. They are the ■heart of what we are seeking to defend against communist under mining, and to safeguard these in stitutions while we prevent their abuse requires our constant vigi lance.” Acheson’s idea of international consultation on preserving “demo cratic institutions” was interesting in the light of a press conference held Friday by Argentine Foreign Minister Hlpolito Jesus Paz. He said that he could tolerate no “for eign interference” in the case of spoke, it was iqakped that the United States has-qu«sfc circulated among the Intin dele gates copies of three U. S. resolu tions. A resolution on economic problems asserted that each gov ernment should be willing to im pose price controls, allocate raw materials with priority for defense needs, and coordinate transport facilities. The resolutions made it dear that the United States would offer Important technical assistance -to the other American republics to step up production of foodstuffs and raw materials, improve diets south of the border, combat disease and generally increase living stan dards. Tax Collector Warns Delinquents That man is here again. D. P. Ray, Jr., Harnett County tax collector, warned all property owners in tile county today that delinquent lists will be published in the newspapers beginning the first week in April.

The collector said that he will be at the First Citizens Bank and Trust Company in Dunn April 28 for the convenience of latecoming taxpayers. SHOW IS EXTRAVAGANT A sight to behold.

NO. 78” ROK Units Take Village 3 Miles Above Frontier TOKYO, March 27—0P1 South Korean troops struck deeper into North Korea in force today from cap tured Kaunpo, thrde miles ; north of the 38th Parallel. The republican troops pushed up the east coast highway after the > first mass crossing of the old com- i munist frontier since the AHied f retreat into South Korea ldiit '. December. The brief South Korean an- ; nouncement of the fall of Kaunpo gave no details, but the village was believed to have been, captured yesterday. There was no mention of any communist resistance. The South Koreans were advanc ing along the same highway they followed all the way to Chongjin, some 250 miles north of the Par allel and only 55 miles from the Soviet Siberian frontier, last win ter. ADVANCE CAUTIOUSLY This time, however, they were" expected to advance much more cautiously to protect their flank. There was no expectation they would go more than a few miles into North Korea at present. An Bth Army spokesman scoffed at reports the South Koreans were defying the United Nations com mand with a headlong plunge across the Parallel. All their ad vances have been on orders from Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, commander of the Bth Army. M Qther Bth Army forces were on or within artillery range of the < old between South and , ■ .Communist North Korea all across ? the 140-mile-wlde penutsula. i Front dispatches indicated the pomanmists were throwing up new defenses or ’.’delaying positions at • -ij key spots ranging from just- south of the border in the west to north of it in the east. The Reds apparently were plan ning to make their strongest stand in the west athwart the roads mnning from Seoul, capital of South Korea, to Pyongyang, capital of Red Korea. Rear guards of the Chinese 28th Army launched a company-sized counter-attack against the ad vancing Allies some 11 miles north | of Uljongbu on the easternmost, Seoul - Pyongyang highway early | today. However, it was easily repulsed and seven prisoners were taken. The action took place about seven to eight miles south of the 38th Parallel.
