The Soviet threat to sign q
separate peace treaty with East
Germany had never been aban-
doned, and in recent weeks has
been repeated at intervals. But
this was the first time Mr.
Khrushchev had tied it to the
outcome Of the May summit
conference.

one Of eliminating veStiges Of

concluded, he said, Russia will
sign a separate agreement with
East Germany.
If that happens, he said, all
postwar agreements affecting
Germany would cease to be
valid" and West Berlin would
come under the authority OF
Communist East Germany "be-
cause West Berlin stands on
territory belonging to the (Com-

public"
Mr.. Khrushchev also rejected
the idea Of a German plebiscite
to determine whether the Rus

should be accepted. United
States Secretary Of State Chris

considering proposing such a
plebiscite.
I'VE are not going to take

Why Did You Buy?

There is bound to be at least
one faction which will disagree
with a recent poll to determine
why q buyer chooses a certain
make of car.
The American Petroleum
Institute reports that the rea-
sons for purchase mentioned
least frequently - and then
only at the suggestion Of the
Observation-Disclosures:
Good power and pickup,
roomy, easy to start, grade of
gas, oil-change interval and
friendship for the dealer.
Among $500 new-car buy
ers, four of the five reasons
most frequently given as i'm
portant in the purchase of q
particular make of car were
the same for all three brands
I'D style and appearance,
90 best price, 90 cheapest to
operate and "a good. depend

The fifth reason varied. One
group, owners of the same
make of car, listed rides well

factor. Another group which
purchased another make, gave

listed Recommendation OF

factor. ]

cause the parent you, plan to
claim as a dependent earns a
bit more than 5000. If the earn
ings are held below $500, you
may get the head-of -household

credit.
@. Are you expecting a SUBJ
stantial raise in 1861?
A. Try to postpone expenses
to next year. If your situation
is the opposite, speed UP ex-
penses into 1860.
@. Are you in business and
expecting to buy equipment for
use in your operations next
year
A. You can save quite spec
tacular amounts in taxes by
buying part of the equipment
before December 81 and the
other part after January /. This
is because you are permitted q
one-shot depreciation deduction
of 20 per cent of the cost OF
your property up to a limit OF
$4,000 on joint returns in the
year you buy tin addition to
the ordinary depreciation you
are allowed. Space prohibits
vital details, but if this is your
case check with a tax expert at
once. Let's say you need $40,-
900 of machinery, you're filing
a joint return and you buy all
the machinery in January
Your f1rSt-year depreciation de-
Iduction will be limited to 20
per cent of $4,000 of machin-
cry, or $4,000, in 1861. But let's
say that instead you buy $780,
600 of it in December, the rest
in January. You can claim 8
full 20 per cent fast flrst-yeal
depreciation of $4,000 on the
property you buy in December
and another full 20 per cent

There is a little more than
a month in which to cut taxes
on your 1860 income and, by
December 81, / suspect mil
lions of taxpayers could save
money if they knew what steps
to take" says the Research
Institute of Americas tax
chief, Leon Gold.
II the following questions
apply to you, study the advice
in the answers with care.
, @. Are you married or head
of a household this year, but
anticipating a change in cir
cumstances. which will end
your income-splitting privilege
next year?
A. If so. you can save sub
stantial tax dollars by throw
ing income into 1860 and post
poning expenses into 1861. for
this year you'll be taxed at the
lower married or head Of
household rates. and next year
at the higher single taxpayer
rates. AS an illustration OF
what this can mean, the
amount of tax owed by a sin
gle taxpayer with $4,000 of
taxable income filing a sepa-
rate return is 1890; the
amount owed by a married tax
payer filing a joint return is
1880; and by a head OF
household, 1890. Quite a diff
ference!
@. Are you single, expect
ing to be married in 1861?
A. Do the opposite. Shift in
come into 1861, accelerate
expenses into 1860.
Q. Are you single, helping
to support your parents who
maintain their own household
A. You may be entitled tC
the head-of-household tai
break in addition to the $500
dependency credit if you han
die your contributions in a way
permitting you to claim al
least one of your parents as 9
dependent. For this you mus
