Herbert Hoover’s Faith . . .
ON AUGUST 10, Herbert Hoover celebrated his
87th birthday. He has lived longer than any Pres
ident save John Adams. He is still vigorous, still hard
at work on his writings.
In a news conference, as reported by the AP, he
had some words of optimism to say. The American
people, in his view, “are ready for any emergency on
earth.” They haven’t grown soft and they are “as
deeply patriotic as they’ve ever been.”
The former President also said: “President Ken
nedy’s courageous statement as to Berlin Should
should carry conviction to the Russians.” And he held
out the hope that a solution to the Berlin problem
.may be found through negotiation.
Mr. Hoover has led a long remarkably eventful
life, and his faith in this country is undimmed. May
that faith be justified in the future.
How the Baby Grew! . . .
GREAT OAKS from little acorns grow, says the
ancient adage. And this applies to taxes. A pub
lication of the Florida Power & Light Company pre
sents a brief history of the federal income tax. In its
words, “when the income tax baby was bom 48 years
ago, its bite was only a toothless nibble.” A married
from with $5,000 a year paid $10. The rate was one per
cent with the first $4,000 exempt. From $20,000 to
$50,000 an additional one per cent was tacked on. If
you had an income of $500,000 a year, the tax was a
mere $25,020.
Now that $5,000 ia year married man pays $1,020
—and anyone who gets into the $500,000 bracket is
tapped for $404,640.
All this has happened in less than half a century.
What will the next 50 years bring—if do-everything,
welfare-state government continues to grow and
grow?

Two Soviet Marshals
Warn Next War Will Turn
Into Nuclear Holocaust
MOSCOW 00 — Two Soviet
marshals warned yesterday that
any war between the Soviet
Union and the West would turn
into a nuclear holocaust.
Marshal Rodion Malinovsky,
Defense Minister, wrote in Prav
da that Soviet forces would be
at an advantage because their
rockets can deliver nuclear bombs
that “will reach the aggressor in
his own den.*-"
Malinovsky said the Soviets
have great nuclear arms amount
ing to many million tons of TNT.
Western correspondents re
ceived a similar view in a rare
chat with another marshal, An
drei Yeremenko, who command
ed victorious Soviet forces at
Stalingrad.
Yeremenko spoke to newsmen
while flying back to Moscow from
a visit to Stalingrad.'He recalled
that two months ago he wrote in
the Soviet magazine International
Life that U. S. officials were
boosting their conventional forces
to avoid challenging the Soviet
Union to a nuclear war.
He told the correspondents it
will not work out that way, but
small wars will develop into nu
clear conflicts.
To support this view, the Mar
shal said World War I had begun
with rifles and machine guns but
ended with tanks; the second be
gan with tanks and ended with
nuclear weapons, and the third
would start with rockets carry
ing nuclear warheads.
