liability. The home owner does
not believe that this is fair"
Under the Internal Revenue
Code, the tax applies also where
homes are traded and where a loss
is sustained when an owner sells
his home, Mr.. Snyder pointed out.
He cited the following case:
Suppose that In 1946 I bought
a home in Detroit for $4,000. and
my brother one In Cleveland for
$40, 900. AS a result of the cheap
ening of the value of the dollar,
the fair market value of my home
in Detroit Is now $4,000. and the
fair market value Of my brothers
home in Cleveland is similarly
SIS 900. am transferred to Cleve-
land from Detroit. and my brother
is transferred to Detroit from
Cleveland, and we decide simply
to trade homes.
"The law now says that realize
a taxable gain of $1,000. when I
take over my brothers house, and
he realizes a taxable gain of S., 900
when he takes over my house.
Because we were transferred in
our jobs. we are each penalized to
the extent of the tax on $4,000
worth of imitation"
He said that If a defense work
er. forced to move to another city,
sells his home and suffers a loss
from the purchase price, he Is not
permitted to deduct his real loss
I'VE believe that it is extremely
important in this period of de-
tense mobilization not to have
provisions In the laws of the land
that discourage or impair the mo-
bility Of working men and wom-
en-" he said. We believe that the

iR the heavy traffic after the meat truck overturned.
 The time clements also added a puzzling angle to the reported plot. Ordinarily the Russians leave their ornate quarters at Hillsborough, about IT miles south of San Fran cisco. at 9 am, to be driven to the San Francisco opera house.
 Left Late
 Today, for some unaccounted req son, they did not leave until 9:25 am.
 A photographer who was follow ing the Russian car said the trucks wheels were still turning when he arrived at the scene. M
 Highway officers spcculated this indicated the truck must have been wrecked only very brief time-possible from one to three ninutes-before the Russian car passed the spot.
 The. California Highway Patrol said the driver of the overturned truck was William V. Poile, 34, ot San Francisco.
 The patrol said Poile told them vhe had to swerve his meat truck carrying 5000 pounds of bacon, to avoid a collision With another car
 Load Shifted
 My load shifted and this caused the truck to go out of control , Poile said
 The Soviet delegation to the peace treaty conference is lodged in a mansion at Hillsborough, on the San Francisco peninsula. The dele gates drive by limousine to and from San Francisco.
 The reported plOtters planned to ram GrOmykO's auto as it moved along Bayshore Highway toward San Francisco, the information said.
 The plot was attributed to White Russians-those in opposition to Communist rule.
 As a result, the escort this morn ing consisted of four San Mateo County sheriff's cars, four San Fran cisco inspectors cars, Hillsborough police and state highway patrol cars. h addition, three motorcycle po- lice were to join the convoy as it reached the city line

'Fe'ked Horn Legal BulI M'oose This
 Year, Says Swanson

Fish and Wildlife officials today were pointing out difference in the regulations on taking moose this season. The season opens in southeastern Alaska Sept. 15 and continues until Oct. IA.
 Previously the regulations had stated the legal limit as one bull yearling or older This year it states with forked horn or larger"
 Doug Swanson, assistant law en- forcemeut supervisor said there had been some argument among hunters on identifying a yearling and the change was inaugurated to make it similar to the deer regulation which states that deer, in order to be taken, must show not less than three inches of horn above the top of the skull
 Moose country in southeastern AL aska includes the Chilkat Valley, the Taku and Stikine river sections.
 Deer and goat season closes Nov. l5. Swanson said, while grouse and ptarfnigan season extends through Feb. 28.

ization, just as wholesale and pro- longed cribbing at West Point is symptom of degeneracy among our armed forces. For these young men, under the circumstances of West Point education, could not have engaged in this practice without officer connivancc. This undoubtedly is their real defense.
 These symptoms need to be stu died back to their causes. When there is such widespread degrada- tion among the people, it means clearly two things:
 1. The moral leadership of the nation is inadequate for influen- cling oncoming generations in de- cent, dignified leadership and liv- ing;
 ?. The religious training of the youth is inadequate to sustain them through the trials of life by precept, inspiration, example and by supplying the automatic restraints of moral conduct.
 The individuals involved in the West Point scandal will suffer personal indignity and a loss of great opportunity, but there IS much more to this. This nation is now challenged by an incident which involves all our children. What is being done in our schools to build character? The public school ideal was designed not only to teach reading and writing, but to breed race of decent, honest, God-loving human beings. What happens to our children in the first years of their lives? This we need to understand if we are to grasp our current apathy con- corning indecencies. It may re- ouire moving deeply into the whole question of national morals, of upbringing, of education, of purely functional schooling with out religion.
 We need to know why our peo- pie are not outraged at the shame less corruption of our country Something has gene terribly wrong with us and we need to know what it is and why it hap pened.

Fantastic pIoi- Just IA Coincidence as Truck
 0veriuYns Ahead Of CrornYko

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7-H- A fantastic plot to kill the Russian peace treaty delegation-or grim coincidence in a truck accident--oc- cured on a heavily travelled high way South of San Francisco today Police here said they had received a report last night that beer truck was to be crashed into the speeding car occupied by chief Russian Dele gate Andrei Gromyko, and his aides. Today. a short time after the Russians had left their mansion at Hillsborough, meat truck toppled over on the highway
 But the Russians ear, with q heavy police escort, swerved past the wreck at 70 miles an hour-to safety--on its way to the San Francisco peace treaty conference.
 Mystery Car?"
 Whether the machine which cut in on the meat truck, forcing its driver to swerve. was mystery car" driven by White Russian plot ters, or whether it was only one oi the many such incidents which oc- cur daily on the busy highway-nc one could say.
 But the FBI said it had heard ol the asserted plot whereby would-be assassins would crash a beer truck into Gromyko's car.
 By an odd twist, two beer trucks were following the meat truck to- day. And they were forced to stop

THE WEST POINT SCANDAL

Senator Fulbright's proposal, which amounts to shifting the
 West Point scandal to an invest | igation of intercollegiate football,
 is not sound. The problem is not football; it is the morals of na- ton. It is not whether subsidized,
 paid athletics in the colleges is to be forgiven; it is rather that some
 thing has gone out of this nation when cheating is taken as lightly as fixing, which used to be called lgraft.
 It is easy for those who think only in the terms of immediate party politics or, even worse, of their personal friendships to shunt ,off everything that happens into the category of the usual But those who insist upon moral cri- terion cannot help asking, Why
 is it usual? Why has it become usual?"
 | It is possible to say that the twentieth century is not the nine teenth century, but that does not mean that the twentieth century | is an improvement on the nine teenth or even on the twelfth century. What is called modern does not necessarily mean better as anyone who listens to Bach and Shostakovitch on the same program knows.
 If by improvement we mean that an automobile is a superior means of locomotion to horse
 and buggy, or that an electrical refrigerator is superior to bow and arrow, then we have made very great progress.
 But when the morals of man are considered, we are halted by the astonishing retreat of the twentieth century with it's excess of divorces, its broken homes, its emphasis on homosexuality, it's accordance of materialistic Marx
 
 ism in wide areas that were so recently Christian, its avoidance of such concepts as faith, honor,
 dignity, sacrifice. If we assume
 that God is old-fashioned and that his natural law is superstl- tion. then we must not be shock
 ed by what happened at west
 Point. 1 These 90 men accused of cheat ing contend that they are not the lonlv ones and that it has been go-
 ing on for some time. Does that make it right? Is that an excuse
 for conduct? Because some men
 are dope peddlers, is dope peddllng
 justified? The position is so iliog-
 ical that the men who use 1t as an
 excuse display their unworthiness.
 This is a question that Amerl-
 cans have to answer if they wish
 to preserve our nation and our
 civilization. It is impossihlesto say that "deep freezers,' mink coats
 flyers close to the White House
 and incident after incident O,
 Ioose morals in high places are
 usual in all governments. In oul long history, such incidents nav
 been unusual. These are the chh- ical evidences of a deeayins 1iVn
