United States Savings Bonds,
you are not lettinng your $40
grow into $40, which is what
money has been doing in the
last 10 years. If you put your
savings into something that
changes as the value of
money changes, you are
gambling, because nobody
knows from one day to the
next whether things will go
up or down.
INVESTMENTS. Many in
telligent people believe now
adays that you can get 4 per

reasonable safety. in the
stock market. Say you have
$4,000. If you have it in a
savings account at 2l2 per

$42 a month. In stocks at 4
per cent you'd get about SGT.
But if you had only $4,000
the extra would total only
about Sc a month, hardly
enough to matter. Many of
the mutual funds now deal
heavily in stocks. If you want
stocks, and know nothing
about them, the funds are a
safer bet. But whatever

Mr.. Smith, in his 65th year
and six months short of re-
tirement, was a Smart
boy.
He and Mrs. Smith were
going to grapefruit land to
live as soon as he retired.
And he was intent on out
whiting his $4,000 house. He
wouldn't let its taxes, insur-
ance, upkeep and deprecia-
tion-or a chance of a big drop
in priceS-lap over onto his
pension. He would sell it just
before he retired, give pos
session just after he retired,
and be off.
He did just that. And his
cleverness cost him $1,700.
Mr.. Smith had bought his
house years ago for $1,000.
So in selling it he had about
$4,000 profit. That kind Of
profit is subject to income
tax.
Mr.. Smith had a good
salary. By selling the house
in a year in which he was get
ting that salary, he had to
pay a Is per cent tax Capital
gains tax on the $4,000,
plus the normal tax on his
salary. If he had waited to
sell his house until after he
got his pension, which in his
particular case is not taxable
for the first two years, he
would still have had to pay
capital gains on the $4,000,
but his bill would have been

rate-roughly $l,700 less than

Slot Machine
Law FACING
Referendum

Operators of the big slot ma
chine casinos in Charles Coun-
ty, Md, today have scored al
least temporary victory in
their fight against a new law
to curtail slot operations.
Opponents of the law appar-
emily had succeeded in fore
stalling operation of the meas
ure.
Yesterday was the deadline
for filing petitions requiring a
referendum on the act.
Before the time expired, 54G
new signatures had been filed
with the Secretary of State al
Annapolis. Some TOO sigma
lures had been filed previously
Only 1877 signatures were
needed to require referendum
"a move that automatically
puts off operation of the Law
until at least 1860. If voters
disapprove the law in Novem-
Der of that year, it will be
killed altogether.
The one remaining legal bar
rier to the referendum is a
check of the names on the pc
titions to make sure they are
all those of qualified voters. But
with an excess OF names on the
petition, it appeared virtually
certain the referendum would
be held.
The law, which was supposed
to take effect this year, is aimed
at curbing big-time gambling
operations in Charles County

Maryland's abrogation of its
old compact was legal
The new compact calls for g
joint fisheries agency of three
members each from Maryland
and Virginia to administer fish
ing laws in the Potomac. The
group would have broad regu-
latory powers.
Equal Fishing Rights
Under a 1885 pact, Maryland
gave Virginians equal fishing
rights in the river, which Mary
land owns to the low-watel
mark on the Virginia shore, ir
return for free passage Of
Maryland ships through the
Virginia capeS. Under terms OF
this compact, any fishing regu-
lationS in the river had to be
concurred in by both legiSla-
lures.
The Maryland Legislature in
1857 abrogated the agreement
and Virginia filed suit in the
Supreme Court challenging this
unilateral action. The new
compact was worked out as an
out-of-court settlement to that
dispute and was approved ear
lier this year by the legisla-
lures of both States.

capacity is neared, the treat

that other Federal agencies in
