or loss is 'Short Term"
Short term gains are treated
the same as ordinary income but
only 500 of long term gains are
taxed so it is easy to see that
long term gains are advantageous
from the tax standpoint. Also, if
your taxable income is over
$4,000 for a single person or
$4,000 for a married couple you
should use the alternative tax
computation for capital gains and
pay only $50 of the total amount
of your capital gains as tax.
You add all your long term
gains and deduct all your long
term losses.
Then add all your short term
gains and deduct all your short
term losses.
If you have a long term gain
and a short term gain you COM
pute the tax on each separately.
If you have long term gains
and short term losses you deduct
the short term losses from the
long term gains and compute the
tax on the remainder as long
term gains.
If you have long term losses
and short term gains, you deduct
the long term losses from the
short term gains and include the
remainder as ordinary income.
If you have more losses than
gains, or only losses, then you can
use the loss to offset ordinary
income UP to $1,000.
Capital losses, either long Dr.
short term, are deductible in full
from other capital losses. They
are deductible up to $1,000 from
ordinary income in any n year.
If your loss amounts to more
than $1,000 it can be carried over
and treated as a short term CAPT.
tai. loss in succeeding years. You
can deduct $1,000 each year for
the next five years, if your loss
amounts to that much.
Your loss can be deducted in
full from capital gains in any
year that you have capital gains.

EXTRAORDINARY IN WASHINGTON

A most distinguished economic delegation of the Re-
public OF Colombia which has been in Washington for the
past several days, has obtained the attention of some of
the most important personalities of the United States. The
Missions success cannot be measured except by the roper
cuSSiOnS 1t has caused in circles which were surprised, to
a certain extent, to detect that the political unity achieved
in that great Nation in the last few months has been car
ried over into the field of international economics.
Two illuStriOuS former Presidents, Doctor Alfonso L6.
PEE and Doctor Mariana Ospina Perez, the former a Libe-
raj, the latter a Conservative, are members of the brilliant
delegation headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Doc.
tor Carlos SAM de Santamaria. The prestige of Colombia
has been poured into Washington, a city where discussions
have been held of the serious problems which, if they
affect the Colombian economy, are putting to a test the
vigOr of Inter American solidarity, insofar as concerns
safeguarding the permanent stability of a great country
which has felt, together with the anguishes of the political
tragedy brought about by the ignOminiOus dictatorship of
ROjaS Pinila, an acute economic crisis caused by ii.
While Vice-President Nixon of the United States is in
Latin America on a goodwill mission, there remain in
Washington authentic representatives of one of the cOun.
tries which the United States Mission will visit. We hope
that the results obtained by Colombia will be sufficiently
positive to assure the success which is merited bv the
of the members of both Missions: that of Vice
President Nixon in South America and that of Colombia
In Washington.
Missions of the caliber of those we refer to In this brief
editorial comment focus undoubtedly the attention of
all the Hemisphere, which follows them with warm

EDUCATING PEOPLE

The Institute to Promote Pro-

several extensive campaigns among
the adult and school age popula-
ton of Guatemala to promote the
idea of saving money by making
regular bank deposits. Although
the urban population is prone to
this Savings habit, the difficulty
in Guatemala has been the proper
education of the farmers and rural
population who are still, in great
part, saving their money under the
mattress, so to speak. Especially
difficult to get across is the fact
that banks give interest on the
money deposited with "no strings
attached" Thus far the campaign
has made great Roadway in the
public schools where arrangements

ECONOMIC PROBLEMS TO De DISCUSSED

In Washington, in a statement
before his departure, Nixon said he
hoped to have full and frank dis
cussions' with leaders of the eight
Republics he will visit.
Economic problems will be on
top of the list" he said. "It is of
major concern to all of us to have
the Americas develop to the full
their economic resources so that
we can adequately care for our
growing populations"
Nixon's trip is pegged to the
inauguration Of Argentine Presi-
dent DR.. Arturo Frondizi on May
l. But he will also visit Uruguay,
Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador,
Colombia and Venezuela.
The Vice-President made his
comments after shaking hands with
representatives Of the
eight countries who stood in the
rain to hear him speak.
Nixon warned against what he
said was a tendency in the United
States "to take Latin America for
granted"
Everyone should realize" he
added. "that these countries are
not only our neighbors but our
best friends.

AS in his 1855 goodwill tour of
Central America and the Carib-
bean, Nixon is accompanied by his
wife. She plans to visit hospitals
and schools while the Vice-Presi-
dent eonfers with government
leaders.
But because of the short time
he can spend in each country,
Nixon will have to adhere more
closely to his official schedule than
he has in past tours. His trips we're
noted for his departures from
protocol in order to get among the
masses and wage a person-to-per-
son good will campaign.

WASHINGTON (UP) - Tomas

from Alaska to the Panama Ca

opened to the traffic by the end

many years to travel by car to

Guardia said that his recommen-
dalton was originally made by two
engineers of the United Nations
which made a survey in a flight
to Darien during March. These
engineers recommended also that
in the construction of that stretch
of road, local materials should be
used such as timber for the
bridges.
Guardia's report adds that the
piece of 800 kms. from the side
of Panama will follow the route
Chepo-El Llano-M -Yaviza. The
Colombian M Ministry of Public

"Mr. Nixon said yesterday that
