We Have Taken a Stand
About a centur\’ ago an American president, in a time of
international crisis declared in effect “Wemiust take our stand
“and stick to it. We cannot allow our actions to be motivated
byfear.”
For some time during the present troubled times it was
impossible to tell what the stand of the United States was re
garding the rest of the world, mainly Russia, China and Co.
Then for a time after we took our stand we allowed ourselves
to be moved from it somewhat for the sake of getting our
friends to agree with us and stick to us.
We feel a quiet pride now in the knowledge that our. coun
try has now taken a stand and intends to stick to it. The poli
cies of our President through the State Department this week
received the^full approval of Congress in their decision to be
shoved around no further by Soviet Russia, through China
or anyone else. When our Senate passed a resolution Tuesday
urging the United Nations to brand Communist China an ag
gressor, it''passed it unanimously and thus showed the world
that we have taken a stand and that we are not divided.
RALEIGH ROUNDUP

AUTO INSPECTION — Ah a»t«
inspection bill may manage to
squeeze through the General As
sembly this time, but even a
watered-down version of the old
system which created a certain
tjTie cf mass insanity throughout
North Carolina two-three years
ago is going to have a pretty hard
time of it.
The mere mention of auto in
spection brings heated letters. to
legislative desks. These motorists
no doubt recall long hours in a
broiling sun waiting their turn;
or remember two or three trips
to the lane before finally receiving
the stamp of approval.
Mail which has been received
indicates that people are not so
much against automobile inspec
tion as the method followed in the
inspecting. Several different ap
proaches are now being consider
ed. Nevertheless, vast improve-
mentt must be shown over the
plan used the other time if the
folks are going to look with favor
on any tjTje of compulsory auto
inspection.
SUPPORT — North Carolinians
are typical Americans in that they
don’t relish any scheme, plan, or
idea that places a harness on
them. Auto inspection caused them
« 'V
to sweat, to become excited, and
to curse the State Government
from Gov. R. Gregg Cherry on
down to the lowliest constable;

TAKING IT EASY — Members
of the Finance Committees of the
House and Senate are having it
relatively easy these days.
Business of these ^oups is to
search for new revenue to provide
money for appropriations over and
beyond those recommended by the
Advisory Budget Commission in
the balanced budget presented. As
long as the appropriations Com
mittees do not appropriate more
funds than the present tax sche
dules can take care of, the Finance
Committees will have little work
to do.
So right now, the Finance boys
are having ea|y sailing each af
ternoon while the Appropriation
Committees must meet to study
the fiscal-program recommended
to them by the Advisory Budget
Commission.
BUILDING STUDY — Although
contract has been let for the N.
C. State Fair Coliseum with work
on the project beginning last week,
the plan to spend money for a
building of this kind at this time
is receiving a bit of criticism
A legislative committee has been
named to make a recommenda
tion on the matter “as early as
possible”.
YOU and
YOUR
CONGRESS
The awesome task of, pushing
the already record-‘breaking level
of taxes to still higher levels is
shaping up as the toughest prob
lem Congress will face.
The simple facts, as outlined by
President Truman this week, are:
Present tax laws will yield $55
billion annually. Federal expendi
tures are estimated at $71 billion,
with authority to spend up to $23
billion -more. So there is a gap Of
at l?ast S16 billion.
Many people in and out of gov
ernment arc beginning to advo
cate the principle that the nation
should shift, to - a “pay-as-you-
go” basis. If the President’s’’fig^
ures are accepted, that would
mean new revenue of $16 billion.
The tax load currently is esti
mated at $55 billion annually—a
figure $11 billion higher than the
previous record of $44 billion in
1945.
Congress is going to work right
away on both revenue and appro
priations bills, with the House Ap
propriations Committee starting
first.
That probably is .significant, for
not until the expenditure picture
shapes qp can the tax experts de
termine precisely what their .chore
will be.
The timing reflects, too; a strong
undercurrent in both the House
and Senate to examine most close
ly the proposed expenditures. Thd
rrtembers are taking two ap
proaches:
1. They say that “Military ex
penditures cannot be cut.” That
would seem to mean that the $41
billion for the National Defense
Establishment would have smooth
sailing. Yet there is no general
disposition to consider sacred any
and all requests for military
spending.
2. In any event, Congressional
fire will be concentaated on the
other $30 billion in the budget.
Members are discovering that some
of the usual government programs
and projects are now being advo-
A giant cake lettered with the production milestones
of the company marked Chevrolet’s observance of itS
twenty-fifth millionth automobile. Above, T. H. Keating,
general manager of the division, watches his top assistants
light the candles (I. to r.) E. W. Ivey, administrative
assistant to Keating; V/. J. Scott, general manufacturing
manager; W. E. Fish, general sales manager, and E. H.
Kelley, chief engineer. Registering an achievement with
out precedent in the history of the'auto industry, Chev
rolet built.its 23rd millionth car on January 11, its 24th
millionth June 30 and the 25th millionth December 22.

cated as essential foe natiopal Je
fense; they will question those out
lays. Then, too, they find that the
President still advocates—-in an
emergency which he reports may
necessitate full manpower controls
and already threatens over-all
wage and price controls—such
costly operations as federal aid to
education, socialized medicine, the
Brannan farm plan, etc. It is these
general categories of expenditures
that will feel the Congi’essional
pruning knife.
Most Senators and Representa
tives are hopeful that their con-.i
stituents will help them rejeet
federal spending as usual, and
will give toefu itreng moral sup
port when tha going gets tough.
While the appropriation bill
is getting started through the long
legislative mill, the House Ways
and Means Committee has decided
to tackle the tax problem on Feb
ruary 5.
Some of the Congressional tax
authorities are saying cautiously
that the economy cannot stand ?
Congressional mail bags are
rammed with letters this week
-ao^t. Economy, Korea and
Draftiil
new $16 billion tax program. But
they all agree that more taxation
is inevitable. Preliminary thinking
is that it will be “cross-the.-board.”
That is, rates on individuals and
corporations will have to be rais
ed once more; personal exemp
tions will have to be reduced from
$600' to $500 or lower; excises
will have to be hiked; a na'in-'-’
sales tax may be the last resort.
Although it usually takes sever
al months for a tax bill to clear
Congress,, there is sentiment for
making any rate increases on in
dividuals and corporations retro
active to January 1.
These two committees, and Con
gress as a whole for that matter,
are setting down to work against
a dr^h background of uncertainty,
ey still don’t know whether
they—and tEe Administratioa*-afe
facing an fll-out war in the imme
diate future, or a protracted period
of heavy drains on the economy.
But tliey will remember that
Lenin, the fatl^er of Commuhism,
once said: “We shall force the
United States to spend itself into
destruction.”
