President Fears Threat Of War'
Washington—U.P.)—President Truman, in his annual "State of the Union" message, summoned the nation today to "move full steam ahead" in its rearmament drive because the "threat of world war is still real well."
Topical summary of President Trump's message:
Peace or war?—The United States and other free nations are passing through "a period of grave danger." Russia is increasing its "already excessive" armed might. There are signs of further trouble in the Far East. "The world still walks in the shadow of another world war. . . . (But) we have made real progress this last year along the road to peace."
and munitions. Korea United Nations forces have backed back the Chinese Communist invasion "without widening the area of conflict." But the situation remains "very hazardous" and an armistice is still uncertain. "We must—and we will—keep up the fight until we get the kind of armistice that will put an end to aggression."
The task—the free nations must stick together and may have to maintain large military forces "for years" to discourage aggression. The United States must "move ahead full steam" on its defense program. "We can lose if we falter . . . This is a time for courage, not for grumbling and mumbling."

servants "must be weeded out." Those guilty of misconduct will be punished—"I will see to that." Congress should apply "rigorous standards of moral integrity in its own operations," too. It should limit campaign spending and protect the rights of individuals in congressional investigations.
Wages and Prices—“ . . . we intend to hold the line on prices just as tightly as the law allows. We will permit only those wage increases which are clearly justified under sound stabilization policies; and we will see to it that industries absorb cost increases out of earning wherever feasible, before they are authorized to raise prices . . . except where the recent amendments to the law specifically require us to give further price increases.”
Inflation—Congress must enact "a strong anti-inflation law" and repair "the damage" done last year.
Taxes—There will be "high taxes over the next few years." They must be shared "as fairly as possible," and tax laws must be administered "without fear or favor of any kind for anybody." Mr. Truman said he will outline his tax plans in forthcoming messages to Congress.
Military Expansion—U.S. armed forces now total "nearly 3,500,000—an increase of more than 1,000,000 in the past year. Some further increases will be recommended this year, "with particular emphasis on air power." This will mean continued large-scale production of planes and other equipment "for a longer period of time than we had originally planned."
Civilian Production — Defense needs will mean "smaller production of some civilian goods." Cutbacks will be "nothing like those during World War II. . . but there will be considerably less of some goods than we have been used to these past two or three years." The next two years will see the peak of defense production.
Foreign Aid—"... we must go on helping our friends and allies to build up their military forces." Weapons must be sent "in large volume" to our European Allies. Economic aid is necessary, too. Increased military and economic aid also must be given to people in Asia who "want to be free to follow their own way of life."
Point Four-more funds are needed for the program to aid backward areas of the free world.
Politics—this is a presidential election year and "we have a great responsibility to conduct our political fights in a manner that does not harm the national interest." Mr. Truman gave no hint of his own political plans for 1952.
Fair Deal—the government "mus keep on working to bring about a fair deal for all Americans." This program includes housing, health insurance, civil rights, federal aid to education, aid to medical education to provide more doctors, improve social security benefits, improvement in the Taft - Hartley law, readjustment benefits for veterans of the Korean war, soil conservation and a strengthened system of farm price supports.

Demand Russia Account For World War II Prisoners
Washington—(U.P.)The United States has formally demanded that Russia account for hundreds of thousands of German and Japanese prisoners of war captured during World War II.
Japanese prisoners of war The State department disclosed today that the request for an accounting was submitted to the Russian foreign office in Moscow in a formal note Tuesday.
The United States formally called upon Russia to send a representative to the forthcoming meeting of the United Nations commission on prisoners of war "to bring about the return of all those still alive and to account for those who have died."
Airfield Problem Stalls Final UN Truce
Panmunjom, Korea—(U.P.)-The Communists yielded to all United Nations demands on supervision of a truce today except the one that would bring final agreement—a ban on military airfield construction.
The UN's Maj. Gen. Howard M. Turner promptly rejected the Red program.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway's supreme headquarters in Tokyo backed up the Allied truce delegation with a "voice of the UN command" broadcast warning that the Reds must agree to the airfield construction ban if they want an armistice.
Kill Russia's Bid For High Level Pow-Wow
Paris—(U.P).The United Nations killed today Russia's demand for an immediate high-level meeting of the UN security council to take up the Korean armistice deadlock.
At the same time the UN's main political committee approved a Western proposal favoring a special council session on the cold war in general, but only after a Korean armistice has been achieved in battlefield negotiations.
No Tax Hike Planned In Election Year
Washington—(U.P.)—Congress, mindful that this is an election year, served advance notice on President Truman today that it will not approve higher taxes or do much legislating on any other issue it can safely sidestep.
Members also felt the President had little choice but to recommend higher taxes to offset an anticipated deficit for the 1953 fiscal year of about $10,000,000,000.
But even such an administration stalwart as Speaker Sam Rayburn said bluntly that he did not expect Congress to approve a big tax increase this year.
The Senate Republican policy committee unanimously went on record Tuesday as being opposed to any tax boost in 1952.
Enterprise Adrift In Danger Zone
Unless they succeed, the vessel Carlsen has gambled his life to save may pile up on rocks at Lizard Head, ancient graveyard of ships only 10 miles away.
Falmouth, England—(U.P.)—Capt. Henrik Kurt "Stay-put" Carlsen and his crew of one worked desperately today to get a new towline aboard the floundering U.S. freighter Flying Enterprise.
The old towrope snapped in rough seas about 56 miles Southwest of Falmouth today, casting the Enterprise adrift in some of the most perilous waters around Britain.
California Drivers Are At It Again
Los Angeles, Calif.-(U.R.)—It took Robert Chambers, 23, only 20 minutes to collect 19 traffic citations on a complaint more than six and a half feet long, but a 22-year-old woman nearly equaled his record.
But 22-year-old Shirley Ann Finley was not so lucky. She was fined $250 on her plea of guilty to 18 violations, all committed during a 38-block drive through Long Beach, Calif.
The charges against her included disorderly conduct, reckless driving, speeding up to 100 miles an hour and driving through six lights.
Chambers pleaded guilty to two of the charges, drunk and reckless driving. Tuesday and the other 17 charges were dismissed.
And she didn't have a driver's license.
Establish Cause Of Mine Disaster
Washington—(U.P.)—A spark from "non-permissible electrical equipment" caused the coal mine explosion that killed 119 miners at West Frankfort, Ill., according to Bureau of Mines inspectors.
A six-man inspection team said in a report issued late Tuesday that working areas of the big mine were filled with explosive gas because ventilating equipment failed and an electrical charge from the electrical equipment ignited the gas.
The tragedy occurred Dec. 21 in the Orient No. 2 mine of the Chicago, Wilmington and Franklin Coal Co. About 133 miners escaped uninjured and unaided, and five others were rescued. One of the rescued men died in the hospital.
