State Department Proposal to Congress
In Face of Recent Atrocities Criticized

sion points out that the press
has reported that 291 Bel
gian women have testified to
such treatment.
No word of public condem-
nation. however, has come
from the Department Of
State addressed to the Congo
government itself or to the
press, expressing American
disapproval of what has hap
pened. Not so many months
ago the same Department of
State, however, was quick to
interfere in the internal af-
fairs of the government of
the Union of South Africa by
issuing a statement con-
demning outnumbered police
because they fired at a mob
of several thousands that
threatened them.
Surely, this is a precedent
for public expression now
about the horrors in the
Congo, though there are
plenty of precedents in inter-
national law, anyway, which
say a government may at any
time express opinions and
take action when the lives
and property of it's citizens
have been impaired.
The United Nations, itself,
is subject to severe criticism
for having failed to recog-
nize the right of the Belgian
troops to remain in the
Congo to protect the lives
and property of Belgian sub

DispOsing Poorest Issues

Personally l give little atten-
ton to taking tax losses if be-
lleve my securities are all good.
On the other hand, here again
one must decide whether we are
in a bull market or in a bear
market. If you believe we are
in a bear market it is better to
take tax losses than it would be
if you believed we were still in
bull market. This is another
reason for seeking the help of
an investment counselor.
Certainly. this is a good time
to clear up your list and elimi-
nate the poorest investments.
Keep your stocks in the order in
which they are rated. and sell
one or more Of the poorest each
year. Ordinarily. it is better to
sell these in September or Oc-
tober before the crowd rushes to
sell, as they may be doing this
time Of year. On the other hand.
most investors may have al
ready taken their capital gains
or losses. II SO. the market may
work up from now to the end
OF the year rather than continue
TO decline until the deadllne Of
December 80. 1850.
Waiting Thirty Days
Most investors seem to feel
that if they sell stocks to take
tax loss. they cannot buy this
same stock back again. This,
however, is perfectly possible if
you will wait thirty days If the
stock is fundamentally good. l
am inclined TO buy the same
stock back even though, due to
some special homecoming event
it may have advanced IN price.

When one realizes that Germany had

NO COMMENT
BY JAMES W. DoUTHAT

WASHINGTON. Nov. l6-The
fate of the Kennedy legislative
program in the next Congress
depends in large measure upon
W h It her the southern Demo
cratice conservative Repubi
can coalition maintains or loses
its majority status.
President Kennedy will be at
the height Of his POWER over
Congress between his Inaugural
ton on Jan. 20 and Memorial
Day.
During these 100 days is when
members of Congress must lay
it on the line. Are they going to
support or oppose the Kennedy
policies?
On this decision will rest such
questions as who is consulted in
connection with presidential ap-
pointments. who is consulted in
the matter of location of air
ports. construction Of dams and
flood control projects. and a
host of other matters that the
party in power can decide.
Every Democrat in the Senate
and in the House will be expect
ed to support his administration
or suffer the consequences.
A majority of the party men,
bers can be expected to give the
100 per cent support that is eX-
pected. A minority will not.
The Democratic Party is a
heterogeneous party. 1t contains
many conflicting elements. And
much of the history of the COS
will depend on the relative
strength of the two factions the
liberal Democratic majority and
tn e conservative Democratic
minority.
Particularly in the first 100
days the overriding question is.
How m any of the minority
voices in the party can be muf-
fled by the many pressures that
will be brought to compel party
unity?
The voting pattern of tn e

Democratic members of Con-
gress in 1860 was not sufficient
ly united to permit Mr.. Ken
nedy and Mr.. johnson to obtain
approval Of their program.
Then in the November s cleo
ton the liberal Democrats
lost some 20-odd House seats.
To make up for this loss.
many of the party's conserva-
tives must be swung over to
the liberal side.
Like the Democrats, the Re
publicans have not been a united
party. They also have their con-
sentative wing and their liberal
wing.
The first judgment of most
newspaper reporters was that
the election would give the coun-
try more conservative Con-
gress in 1861 than it had been
in 1860.
AS far as the private views Of
members of Congress are con
cerned, this opinion seems I'M
questionably correct.
The coalition OF southern
Democrats and conservative
Republicans has been the real
majority in Congress : partic-
ularly in the House of Repre-
sentatiVes.
Closely allies with the coah-
tons future is the question Of
the rules under which Congress
operates.
The big controversy in h e
House concerns continuing the
authority Of the Rules Commit
tee.
The authority of the Rule $
Committee and the strength OF
the conservative coalition t a k c
on added Importance because of
the fact that Mr.. Kennedy would
be expected to sign a number of
measures if they should be
approved by Congress which
would have been vetoed by
President Eisenhower.

We are in favor of the warming
trend. Old folks have been saying for
years that when they were young it
used to be much colder. We thought
maybe most of this talk resulted from
better heating, better houses and other
improvements in the last few decades,
which make bitter weather more bear
able
But the old folks were right - if
Dorf is right. 1t was colder And it's

Cold Weather Cyle

THE experts constantly disagree about
the long-range weather trend. The
latest forecast is the kind we like to
hear. 1t is that we are in a warming
trend that will last another 200 or 300
years.
This prediction comes from Profess
sor Erling Dorf, Of Princeton Univer-
slty. Professor Dorf explains that we
are in a temporary cooling cycle which
will last until about 1865 Then, after
this is over, we will return to the warm
ing trend, which will last for a couple
of hundred years - he says
Dorf reads and studies weather trends

Super Highways

ME latest report on the great super
highway project is that about 300
miles OF superhighway have been com
pleted. Work is underway on another
4,7OO miles of superhighway and rights
of-Way are being acquired for another
10000 miles of the new federal road.
Altogether, 41,00O miles of super
highways will be built By 1875 you
should be able to drive across the coun-
try at sixty or seventy miles an hour
without stopping for one light. But that
is still almost fifteen years into the
future - too long
1t IS still obvious that we started too
late and what we are building now for
1875 should already have been built.
Had the program been started immedi-
ately after World War II it could be
nearing completion by now - and many
lives would have been saved in the post

Babson Discusses Taking Tax Losses

BABSON PARK. MASS, Nov.
H. Readers who are clients of
investment counselors. or W h 0
have active banking houses or
brokers attending to their af-
fairs. probably have already
been notified of the possible adj
vantage that can be secured by
taking tax losses.
No Lower Taxes In 1861
Both Mr.. Kennedy and Mr..
Nixon promised greater ex-
penditures. due to increased de-
tense needs. larger welfare pay
ments. and perhaps unemploy
ment aid We cannot now wait
for the official statements of the
winning candidate. Mr.. Ken
nedy. But VIC can assume that
anything he recommends will
be TO the interest Of the many
millions who hold no securities

sures or increased taxes Both
could work a hardship on in

figure out what will be your net
long term gam or loss. and what
will be your net short-term gain
or loss. Then offset these ne t
figures, remembering that one
dollar of short-term loss can
wipe out one dollar of long-term
gain. and one dollar Of long
term loss can offset one dollar
of short-term gain.

Of tax losses one must sell the
securities, and it may not pay
to do this If an excess of long
term capital gains results. you
may reduce this gain by so per
cent before figuring your tax.
and if the tax on long term gains
should exceed 25 per cent Of the
gains. you may use an alternate
method of computing and thus
hold down your tax.
In the case of most readers.
the capital gains tax will be I'M
der IS per cent Of the profits
realized The alternate ia x
method is used only for net tax
able inc ONE of more than
$4,000 for a single person.
$24 900 for the head of a house
hold. and S36 900 for joint re-
turn.
What About ShOEt-Term Gains?
The above advantages apply
only to long-term gains; they
do not apply TO the short-term
sales cited III item two of the
third paragraph Of his column
Therefore. there may be q. real
tax advantage IN letting your
profits run over the months
period. even If IT brings YOU
into another wear. The govern
ment permits you to carry any
unapplied capital gains losses
forward for the next five years.
OF course, securities should not
be sold merely to take tax
loss. If the stock is one bou t
which you are still optimistic
the improvement in price may
later provide you with a greater
gain than you could get by tax
ing a tax loss now.

You will see an uprising that will
make Budapest look like nothing, he is
quoted as having said in London. And
he added: Castro is mad dog. He
must be wiped out. If we get him he
will certainly be shot"
Rojas said Castro was a tool Of the
communists and that those Cubans who
continue to serve the Castro regime are
either communists "or useful idiots"
