Air Conc|ave
Begging Down
Brock Expected
by Afternoon

CHICAGO. Nov. 20-The In
ternational Civil Aviation con-
ference begged down today for
second day devoid of scheduled
activity because of a stalemate
over proposals for regulating
commercial flying in the peace
time world.
Some kind Of a break was ex-
pected by afternoon, although
the outlook was that nothing Of
fetal would be said prior to
full session Of the 54-nation con-
ference scheduled tentatively for
tomorrow afternoon. Meanwhile
there was not a single committee
meeting schedule-the second
time that has happened since the
parley began Nov. /.
An official spokesman said
that there were prospects for the
completion of a document bring
ing together the divergent views
of the Canadians, British and
Americans by noon today, but
that nothing would be made
public when and if it did
emerge" Instead, it appeared
that the phraseology of the COM
promise might be referred a sec
ond time to London for clear
ance.
In this connection, the spokes-
man said that a report from Lon
don Of complete agreement was
premature.
Consultations among the three
leading proponents of measures
for regulating world air traffic
began Nov. IL and continued
almost without interruption for
four days. A general agreement
of certain principles then was
drafted into a joint proposal in
tended for submission to the
rest Of the conference. The next
difficulty was in wording the
document to express the ideas on
which the leaders were agreed
in language acceptable to them.
Apparently this difficulty had
occupied them in the succeeding
time, with London ut least once,
and possibly twice, rejecting the
draft.
Word that q new draft would
be ready today, but that it would
not be given to the other dele
gates until tomorrow-this in
the face Of growing restless'~ss
of hundreds of officials and their
aids who have been here three
weeks-indicated that again the
wording called for further study
at home. There seemed to be
reasonable confidence, however,
that the next attempt would be
successful.

The doors are open to those
who suffer.
The $4,000 children now

owe their we'll being to vol

POLICE BOARD
 | MEETING TODAY
Several Appointments Ex- peCted; One or Two Up-

Although reports indicated lack of unanimity on some selections 1t was considered likely that the board of police commissioners would take action today in filling a number of vacancies existing in the police de- partment.
 Early this afternon it was inti- mated that Sergeant Joseph Petit and possibly Sergeant Walter Ahearn would be made lieutenants,
 The list of prospective sergeants included John Moynihan, Ralph Baril, Joseph Mccarthy and Mat thew Guarini.
 Chris Delaney and Augie Rinaldi were mentioned as the boards choice for appointment as patrol men.
 A special meeting of the commits sioners is believed likely in the near future to fill about eight more vacancies among the patrolmen.
 Names of many of the above men, toned candidates have been heard before in connection with appoint ments. The only surprising thing is that one or two previous favored entries have been dropped.

be classified as negligence, but drtv. ing while intoxicated would be SO regarded.
 Likewise, in the cast of claims for loss of property by theft or burg i lary. it must be established that the property actually was stolen, and not merely mislaid or lost.
 In the case of insured property, the amount of recovery through in- surance must be taken into account in determining the amount of net loss, if any.
 The amount of loss allowable in the case of property damaged or destroyed is frequently difficult of | determination. A general rule is that the loss is measured by the difference in the value of the prop erty immediately before and imme- diately after the casualty. The loss on wrecked CT would be the diff | ference bf1etween its market value | just before the accident and the salvage value after the accident. In the case of trees, or ornamental shrubbery, destroyed by a sleet or i snow storm, the measure of the loss is the loss in the value of the | property of which they were part, that is, the reduction in the value of the property arising from the 1 casualty. This may or may not be the same as the value of the par- | ticular trees or shrubs destroyed. Also in determing the amount of | loss, sentimental values are exclud- ed for the reason that such values cannot be measured. Losses claimed must, in general, be related to mar ket value of the property affected by the casualty. Losses claimed for the destruction, damage, or that of family portraits, heirlooms. or keephaqes, must be based upon loss of instrinSic value apart from the sentimental value.
 A further rule regarding deduc- tions for losses from casualties and thefts is that such losses are de- ductible only in the year in which they are sustained even though they may not be discovered until 8 later year.
 A deductino for loss from casualty or theft may be allowed only to the owner of the property with re- spect to which the loss is sustained.
 In computing the victory tax net income. only those losses are de- ductible which are incurred either CD in 6 trade of business, or (2l in the production or collection of income, or (3) in the management. conservation, or maintenance of property held for the production of taxable income. However, losses from the sale of exchange of capital assets are not deductible, since gains from such assets are not mcludible in victory tax gross income Deduc- tible losses should be reported in Schedule c CD. Losses for wagering transaction are allowable only to the extent of gains from such trans actions.
