The Red Tide in Korea and its American echo
An editorial argues the Korea war is part of a larger battle against Communism and calls for unity and sacrifice. It warns against complacency, notes resistance within the United States to war duties, and describes reservists facing recall while public attitudes mock their service. It emphasizes that life and liberty are at stake and urges resolve over petty shortages or jokes about troops.

Truman seeks five billion tax hike for defense funding
President Truman urged a quick five billion dollar annual tax increase to finance wartime Korea and worldwide defense. The plan would raise individual rates starting Oct. 1 for about 52 million filers and boost corporate levies to 25 percent on the first 25,000 and 45 percent above that. Officials expect three billion from individuals and 1.5 billion from corporations with 500 million from loophole closures and insurance taxes. The proposal is labeled interim with a broader plan to follow after more data. The Senate Finance Committee chair voiced doubt on retroactive application and set a Wednesday briefing to review the White House plan.
