Up 10 Wet Namese
By The A.socic,ed Pres,

SAIGON, Indo-C China, Aug.
3.-Morris Wolf, general coun-
sci of the American Foreign
Operations Administration. said
today the United States stands
ready to increase its economic
assistance to war-torrl Ind0-
China. But he warned the sue
cess Of such aid in combating
communism will depend on the
spirit of the Wet Namese. /"
Mr.. Wolf arrived from Wash
ington yesterday las the second
phase of the Geneva cease-fire
went into effect, silencing the
guns in Central Wet Nam. The
truce took effect in North Wet
Nam last Tuesday.
Stop shooting orders went out
to the rival troops yesterday
morning and four hours later
the French said they had re-
ceived no word indicating any
hitch.
Coordination Essential.
Under the Geneva agreement
splitting Wet Nam at the 18th
parallel. about half Central Wet
Mans 60 million inhabitants
will come under control of the
Communicated Wet Mini.
Commenting on the problem
of evacuatiug the stream of
refugees from the north, Mr..
Wolf warned that nothing can
be accomplished with satisfac-
ton" unless the United States,
France and Wet Nam coordinate
their efforts.
His words were pointed UP by
the firing of Hanoi's mayor in
the dispute among Wet Namese
officials over accepting French
aid in evacuating civilians from
the north. The mayor. Do Quang
Giai. had been actively cooper
ating with the French.
He was replaced by Anti
French Nguyen Van Mui, a
hacker of DR.. Hoang Co Binh,
leader of those Wet Nainese Of
f1cials who insist that any French
hand in the evacuation would
hamper the cause of Wet Nam
csc nationalism.
Will Stay 10 Days.
Mr.. Wolf, who arrived with
Frederick Bunting, chief of
FOA's Indo- China section, will
remain here about 10 days.
He told newsmen he had come
at the invitation of United States
Ambassador Donald Heath and
Acting Economic Aid Director
Paul Everett ito show the inter-
est the Government of the
United States has in the present
situation Of the countries of
Southeast Asia and the Western
Pacific and to affirm its willing
ness to give full support to the
nations of this region which
have the firm desire to resist the
Communists" M
He said he had received many
conflicting estimates on the
number of persons to be moved
from the north and on the value
Of American materiel in the
north. b
1t will be up to the Wet
Namese government. he added
to decide how much economic
aid equipment it will leave in the
area to be taken over by the Wet
Mimi.
He added he has received as
surances from the French COM
rnand that all military aid ma
terrell will be evacuated in the
300-day time limit.

You and the Tex Low
New Rules Good to Those
Hit by Heavy Medical Bills

into really extraordinary raedical
expenses. Under the old 'aw the
maximum medical deduction was
81 $50 q person. for yourself or
your dependents. or up to 5000
for a family. The new law
doubles the maximum deduc-
tions to $500 per person and
$4,000 for o family. That could
be a tax reduction OF $1,000 or
more for a few families especially
hard hit by medical bills. It
could relieve some families from
paying any income tax.
How Deductions Work.
Here are typical examples of
how the change from 5 to 3 per
cent would work:
IF your income Is 5000, you
now can deduct allowable medical
expenses that run above $3.50.
Under the old law. you could
deduct only those expenses above
$3.50.
If your medical costs were ac-
tually 5000, you could deduct $50
under the new law but nothing
under the old law. If your ex-
penses were $3.50 or more, you
could deduct an extra 500 under
the new law.
At the minimum 20 per cent tax
rate. the extra 500 deduction
would amont to a tax cut OF
$40. Your tax reduction would
! be greater if you are above the
minimum bracket. or if youl
medical expenses were above the
old maximum deductions.
Still another change tightens
what you can claim as a medica,
expense. If your doctor orders
you to travel for your health
you can deduct transportation
-expenses only. You can't deduct
las some taxpayers have done
ordinary living expenses while
travelling, or while you are at {
health resort.
Another change benefits sur
yivors. Expenses of an illness re-
Sulting in death now can be de.
Quoted in the final tax return fol
the dead person. even if filee
after death. Under the old law
they could be deducted only OF
returns filed before death.

SteeImakers Admit
Limited Optimism
On Business Outlook
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, May 5.-The
Nations steelmakers are begin
ming to express Limited opti-
miSm" on the outlook for a pick
up in business, the Iron Age, ma
tional Woodworking weekly, said
today.
Optimism is based largely on
the fact that the ingot rate has
leveled off and the market has
been stabilized" said the maga-
zine.
"Of even more significance
now is the fact that the rate
of new orders is definitely pick
ing up. although not all COM
panies are profiting equally"
Iron Age said that of the
major steel centers, the Chicago
area is enjoying the strongest
and best balanced market" It
described Pittsburgh producers
as more encouraged than they
have been for many weeks" and
called Detroit business volume
good but badly unbalanced"
AS for automotive demand for
steel, Iron Age said the big firms
are increasing their buying, while
smaller companies stay prac-
tically out of the market.
Production rate of the indus
try during the first three months
averaged 1913 per cent of rated
capacity against 100 per cent in
the March quarter last year.
