Eisenhower Slams
Pawnbrokers Bill
D. 6. Heads
To Establish
Interest Rates

President Eisenhower today
signed legislation designed to
regulate and license pawn
brokers in the District.
The measure is essentially
similar to the original pawn
broker act here approved in
1889 This later was amended
so stringently that pawnbrokers
Virtually left the city.
The bill would encourage the
establishment of pawn
brokers. require a license fee
of $500 and provide for the
revocation, suspension and re-
newal of licenses.
One of the provisions expected
to attract more pawnbrokers to
operate here is that relating to
the interest rate. which is more
generous than the recent law.
The District Commissioners
are directed to determine what
maximum rate of interest may
be permitted here on the basis
of economic conditions.
Interim Rates Cited
But pending the determination
Of such rates, the bill authorizes
paWnbrokerS to charge not more
than 2 per cent per month or a
fraction thereof, upon any loan
not exceeding 5000, or more than
per cent per month, or frac-
ton thereof, upon any loan ex-
ceeding 5000, but not exceeding
81, 900 and per cent per year
(the maximum statutory rate
previously in effect on any loar
in excess of $1,000.
The President also signed into
law legislation to make perma-
nent congressional authority for
the protection of life and prop
erty and the maintenance OF
public order during inaugural
ceremonies.
The measure would relieve
Congress from passing what in
the past has been three different
pieces of legislation every four
years. 1t would authorize funds
for the District of Columbia for
extra police protection and other
: matters and give Federal agen-
cies needed authority for the in
augural period.

THE FACT that the sugar
industry 10 years ago spurned
his ideas for telling the world
about their product did not
sour him. He had hoped at
least he could get free sugar
to pass out.
But not one pound he
says, sadly. He finances his
trip with dollars from the
sale of his cab and other cars,
and from rents on properties
in Cuba.
The economy of Cuba, he
points out, is tied up with
sugar.
IF we don't sell sugar" he
says, there will be no pros
perity in Cuba.

Mr. AcoSta carries pockets
full of small brown envelopes
containing sugar samples, and
from his belt dangle two large

street, in stores, and at special
events-wherever he gets the
chance-he hands out sweet
samples.

$4,000 of his own money in

sugar to pass around. He has
had a busy schedule. He has

and hopes, before his tour is

Sugar Promoter
All Stirred Up
BY JACK JONAS

Native drums of the Mato
Crosse may call Luis Rod
riguez Acosta to Brazil.
The drums tell the ma
tives," Mr.. Acosta says, that
sugar makes their teeth fall
out"
A man of Mr.. AcoSta's avo-
cation and dedication cannot
permit such things to happen,
even in the Mato Crosse,
1000 miles from Rio de
Janeiro.
He is something of a drum
beater himself, in the figura-
tive sense. He is the self-styled
Sugar Ambassador of Cuba"
and has been travelling Europe
and the Western Hemisphere,
promoting sugar.
He dropped by the office
the other day, looking more
like a Washington cab driver
than sugar ambassador.
That may be because he was a
cab driver in Havana before
the missionary spirit struck
and he took up the ambaS-
sador business.
But when he speaks, he is
every bit as understandable
as a Washington cab driver.
1.-THE antisugar propagan-
distS," he said, with an in
dignant, fiery gaze, and a
flourish of his arms for en-
phasis, have reached even

ganda.

filed for social security tax purposes.
Don't forget that tax on salary or
wages may have been withheld dur
ing the year by your employer, even if
your income was less than 5000, and
the only way to get it back is to file
a tax return.
Advantage OF Joint Returns
A common mistake is the filing of
a separate return by a wife who had
a small income. If the wife files a
separate return, she is not permitted
to file another return jointly with her
husband, nor is her husband allowed
to claim an exemption for the wife on
his separate return.
Most married couples will save
money by filing joint return, as this
"splits" their income to pat them in
the same bracket as though each of
them had received half the total in
come.
There are unusual cases, however,
such as those involving capital losses.
in which separate returns might re-
suit in a saving. If this is a possibi-
lity, it is best to figure both jointly
and separately before deciding which
way to file.
The instructions that come with
