China aid under Truman plan lags Greece and Turkey
American military aid to China runs below the third of that sent to Greece and Turkey. Estimates show $63,002,000 in equipment delivered to Chiang Kai-shek’s forces in 18 months. Greece and Turkey received about $230,000,000 under the Truman Doctrine. Madame Chiang Kai-shek arrived to urge stronger U.S. help, proposing a program costing up to $1,000,000,000 annually for the next three years.

SEA Cites Figures To Prove Stand On School Buildings
Charleston December 6 The State Education Association cites figures from SEA director Sam M Lambert to argue counties cannot fund needed new school buildings. He says needs total 100 000 000 to 150 000 000 with less than 10 percent available under liberal tax rates. The SEA backs state grants for construction with special levies offering a max of about 5 700 000 yearly. Twenty four counties levy but many funds go to current expenses. about half of the levy is not even raised for building. In at least 14 counties the three year excess levy would yield under 50 000, insufficient for a single six room building. See SEA CITES page 3.

The 310,000 troops of the 16th 13th and 2nd army groups retreated toward the Suchsien sector 45 miles south to try to reach the 12th Army group. Government forces and Suchow troops, led by Gen Chen Yi with 125,000 troops, shift west to stem an advancing Communist line as the Suchow defense cracks under supply limits and strategic withdrawals.

O Mahoney cites 1929 crash to urge higher corporate taxes
Senator O Mahoney argues that corporate profits now and in 1929 were similar in growth but company sizes have increased. He contends that if 1929 profits had been taxed adequately, the government would be in better fiscal shape during the recession. He backs a modified excess profits tax and chairs hearings on business profits with leaders from industry and labor invited to testify on a record 20 billion dollars in profits this year. The Wyoming Democrat notes earnings of the 100 largest firms nearly double 1945 levels as hearings proceed.
