"PLANE FILLED FOR SEVERAL DAYS"

PLANE FILLED FOR SEVERAL DAYS"
Editor, The Citizen.
After telephoning YOU from Fort Myers, had
every expectation of visiting Key West; but when
tired to arrange passage informed by the National
Arnes that they have reduced their number of planes
to one each and that that plane was filled for
eral days.
My informant said that they had discontinued their
number Of flights to Key West because of some head
tax" which had been imposed on the National Airlnes
for all passengers who debark from the plane.
While would have been perfectly willing to have
paid the SOC for myself, there was no way to induce
them to restore the service 50 that could make the trip
For this, am indeed sorry because 1 have looked
forward to visit at Key West all my life But since
am in Florida occasionally may yet have the oppor-
tunity to visit our most southeastern city.
In the meantime with best regards,
Cordially yours,

is expected to testify himself Ia.
ter this week, perhaps Thursday.
In the meantime, his counsel
called DR.. Joost A. M. Meerloo
to the stand as q follow-up
witness to Maj. Gen. william H.
Dean, who testified yesterday.
DR.. Meerloo, a Dutch psychia-
trist, specialized in the study of
Communist brainwash and de-
fines its result as "mentricide''-
literally, mind.murder. He coined
the word as a description of what
happens to a mind robbed of its
will by torture and interrogation.
The court Of one admiral and
three Marine generals was set up
to recommend whether Schwable
should be court martialed or other.
wide disciplined.
Dean, who won the Medal Of
Honor in Korea and was a prisoner
for three years, told the court yes
terday he would rather die than
submit to capture again.
'H I ever 90 to war again"
he said, "1'll carry along 4 dill
which I'll take If I'm captured"
He said the military rule Of dis
closing only name, rank and serial
number when captured is an ideal
I'VE should all strive for" but he
said he told Ms captors more than
that.

You are taxed on the gain from

TO determine the taxable gain, sub
tract the original cost Of the resi-.

one year before or after the sale
of the first residence, and the cost
of the new residence equals or ex.
ceeds the sale price Of the old one,
none of the gain on the sale is
taxable. If the sale price of your
former residence exceeds the cost
of the new one, the gain on the
sale is taxable to the extent of the
excess. To continue our example
above, If the taxpayer bought a
new home for $13, 900, ne would be
taxed on the $4,000 that he did not
reinvest.
II, instead of buying, a replace.

Gold Coast Leader
Denounces aIan

ACCRA, Gold Coast, w. A.
(ANP)-African Minister of Trade
and Labor Ako Adjei, trained at
Lincoln University, U.S.A., told a
rally here that DR.. Malan's COM
ments on Gold Coast political af-
fairs could neither Interfere with
the national aspirations of the
Gold Coast people nor influence
other members of the common
wealth.
The Minister, Ako Adjoi, said
DR.. Malan's views and pronounce
ments had some significance in
international politics, but as a
minister of religion has been influ-
enced by the old Jewish belief of
racial superiority which had been
handed down through the ages.
That belief, he said, had made
the Jews assume racial superiority
over and above all other nations
and against that background,
Christians in Europe had fought
the war of "Roses and the Battle
of Crusades." AS a student of
Theology, he said, DR.. Malan had
been brought up with that Jewish
background Of racial superiority
and his Dutch Reformed Church
had ultimately based it's policy on
the assumption that the Dutch in
South Africa were to civilize the
Africans and some Europeans and
to lead them like Israelites to a
promised land"
Mr.. AXE Adjoi added that the
ultimate view of the Malanist seq
regation policy was to conquer Al
