Your losses well may be deduc-
tions ON your income tax return.
For intance..
QUESTION: Our home was
partially destroyed by fire last
year. The fire insurance company
paid US $5,o0o. but I know our
loss was $4,000. What can we do?
ANSWER: First. find your ac-
tual loss by comparing the value
Of your property Immediately be-
fore and after the fire. Then.
reduce this total by the amount
of the insurance you received.
The difference-in your case, you
claim it's s3.000-is q tax reduc-
ton. It's sound to get an ap-
praiser to set the values.

ton. estimates. etc. The expert

tect-should be qualified to Judge
local values.
QUESTION: How much loss
can I claim?
ANSWER: You cannot claim
sentimental values: you must
deal with cost or market values
Of what has been lost. You do
not have to repair or clean up
the debris to get your deduction.
Your deduction is good only in
the year OF your loss. OF course.
1t can't be more than the cost
of your property. And insurance
proceeds or other recoveries cut
the deduction you can take.
QUESTION: I was In q bad
automobile collision last year
and my car was smashed. Can
I get any deduction?
ANSWER: Yes-and most peo-
pie forget this loss at tax-filing
time. Damage to your car be-
cause of an accident is a loss
you can deduct unless the dam
age was caused by your willful
negligence drunken driving. for

that will resemble the thousands Of
objects that people all over the
United States and in some foreign
countries have been reporting for
years.
The report today was designed
to set at rest all speculations on the
past sightings and to forewarn the
public about the coming realities.
"On the basis of this study"
said Secretary Quarles, I'VE be-
lieve that no objects as those pop
ularly described as flying saucers
have overflown the United States.
] feel certain that even the un-
known per cent could have been
explained as conventional phenom-
ena or illusions if more. complete
observational data had been avail
able"
President Eisenhower had de-
flated the delusion considerably
when in news conference Decem-
Der Is, 1854, he said he was assur-
ed by high Air Force official that
the earth was not being invaded by
flying saucers from outer space.

You'll See Those
Flying Saucers
Soon In US. Skies

Washington The Air Force
declared today that widely report
ed flying saucers were not actual,
but that they soon would become
real in the form of vertical rising.
man-bearing aircraft.
The Air Force went SO far as to
release an artists conception of
what the first American flying sau-
Ger probably will look like. Also
in a few days the people around
San Diego, Calf, will see an hon.
est-to-goodness flying saucer-type
aircraft.
The announcement said the first
jetpowered, vertical-rising plane
would be ready to take to the air
there in a few days at the Ryan
Aeronautical Co.
All past sightings of the eccent-
ric craft, however, were declared to
be illusions or explanable as con-
ventional phenomena. The Air
Force added it was satisfied that
none of the saucer sightings were
in fact aircraft of foreign origin"
Data Is Issued
An exhaustive study, 316 pages
long and replete with charts,
drawings and statistical data, was
issued by the Air Force to buttres
its conclusions. Having disposed of
the past, Donald A Quaries, secre-
tary of the Air Force, said:
However, we are now entering
a period of aviation technology in
which aircraft of unusual configu-
ration and flight characteristics
will begin to appear"
The artists drawing depicts a
huge disc with a raised, central
plateau, serrated on one side by
many vanes. Surmounting the pla-
teau is a transparent cockpit like
that in a conventional plane. This
particular concept is not the craft
being developed at San Diego; no
clue was given to the Ryan design.
The drawing was what is ex-
pected to come from the develop
ment project which the Air Force
has under contract with Avro, Ltd,
of Canada.
Predicts New Craft

Grange Concerned
About Price Fall.
& Farm SurpIuses

The 360ivoting delegates of the
Ohio State Grange in the S3rd an
nual session of the organization
expressed concern about the ex-
istence of surpluSes OF agricultural
products and falling farm prices
and their effect on national econ
onny As partial solutions to these
problems, the State Grange went
on record as approving the with
drawal of millions of acres of gov
ernment-owned land from produc-
tion by seeding ii to grass and the
selling of agricultural products a
broad on three to five. year con-
tracts with the United State De
pGrtment of Agriculture 10 carry
our the program.
They also resolved that the gov
ernmcnt should look for ways to
increase consumption of iarm pro-
ducts and create a com, aittee TO
set farm economy at 500 of con-
sumer cost.
Along this same line the dele
gate body reaffirmed their appro-
val for the resolution adopted last
year, favoring the eventual rernoy-
al of all Federal Price Supports;
meanwhile, endorsing flexible price
supports as q step in the right
direction, and consideration of the
two-price system as a means of re-
ducing surpluseS until all Federal
Price Supports could be removed.
The Ohio State Grange also
went on record as opposing all so
called soil bank" proposals.
The delegates urged the Grange
TO take an active part in develop
ing a pt:Dlic relations program AIM
ed at creating a better under
standing among non-farm people
of the part agriculture plays in
building a strong America.
In other action they urged con-
tinued expansion of the Rural FL
ectrification program and also ask
ed that the Power Authority of

velop the hydroelectric potential at

1855.
They favored the uniform age
for starting children to school
throughout the state; and appos-
ed the consolidation of school dis
tricts beyond the point required
for economy of operation.
The delegates asked for the
marking or numbering of all side
roads; and the marking of the
load limit for bridges in actual
tonnage
They favored the extension of
Rural Mail Service TO every drive
way on an all-weather road.
The delegates favored a toll on
turnpikes. but at reduced rate,
after they are turned over to the
state for the purpose of upkeep.
They also felt that a more real
istic appraisal of reDl estate should
be made where land is taken by
the right of Eminent Domain.
The voting body of the Ohio
State Grange recommended the
appointment of a committee to
study the St. Lawrence Seaway
and how il can be developed to
most benefit farmers.
They also favored the adoption
of the proposed Bricker Amend
ment which would limit the treaty
making powers of the President
without vote of Congress in mat
tiers which would conflict with the
Constitution in the conduct of the
internal affairs of our country.
Other lesser matters received

Public Building
Bond Issue Has
General Approval

Columbus-The Ohio District of
Kiwanis International has joined
the growing list of public-spirited
organizations which have endorsed
the Bond Issue for Public Build
ings, amendment number l on the
Nov 8 state ballot.
Kiwanis placed its stamp of ap-
proval on the measure at its dis
trict convention in Dayton last
week. Besides pledging the support
of its individual members for the
bond issue, the organization urged
all Ohioans to vote for it 'in the
interests of the public good"
Kiwanis officials pointed out that
passage of the issue will provide
$150-million in long range funds
for critically-needed and well CO.
ordinated building and improve
ment program for public schools,
state colleges, universities, men,
tai hospitals and juvenile and cor
rectional institutions throughout
Ohio.
The bond issue will be paid for
through temporary penny addi-
ton to the tax on a pack of Gig
arettes, levy which will be dis
continued automatically once nec-
eSsary funds are raised. No proper
ty, highway or income taxes will
be involved.

EISENHOWER FAv0RS
HIGHER BENEFITS

From the standpoint of the unemployed
worker, weekly benefits should be suffi-
GENTLY high to provide the basic necessities.
From the standpoint of the economy, bene-
fits should be sufficient to enable the un-
employed to maintain substantial part OF
their customary expenditures, thereby mimi
mixing the spread of unemployment. The
general level of benefits Is now too low for
either of these purposes.
at is highly desirable that the States change
their laws SO that the great majority of COW
cred workers will be eligible for payments
that at least equal half their regular
earnings"
