A REORGANIZATION of the
Defense Department is being
studied by a committee of top
level Kennedy advisers headed
by Sen. Stuart Symington, once
Secretary Of the Air Force. Some
OF the proposals being consid-
cred would eliminate offices of
Secretaries Of the Army, Navy,
and Air Force and strengthen
the position Of the Joint Chiefs
OF Staff. The Kennedy camp is
said to feel the Pentagon is top
heavy with civilian bureaucracy
A DISCOVERER XVIII SAT-
ELITE was put into polar or

Air Force Base, Calf. The 2,1OOO-
pound second stage passes over
Soviet territory several times a
day. Future satellites will carry
TV cameras which will scan po-
tential military targets.
THE STOCK MARKET took
the election in stride and posted
moderate gains. The APP aver
age of 60 stocks showed a net
gain of $340 over the previous

Letters To Editor
Raise Taxes Sales Tax

Sales Tax is because they expect
to get a handout from it with which
to finance the county's business and
thus be relieved from perhaps
finding it necessary to raise
revenues locally. Anything the state
may give to us will be from money
they have filched from us through
this iniquitious, obnoxious and
abominable proposed State Sales
Tax Law.
God knows most of US are taxed
too much right now and there are
thousands Of poor devils who are
barely able to make ends meet and
yet our great Governor Almond
now recommends the infliction of
sales taxes on our people. Our
governor says our state needs more
tax revenue but l have learned that
you cannot always depend on what
he says.
II it can be clearly shown that
our state must raise twenty to
twenty five more millions of dol
lars per year, it can be raised
without depressing us with a law
that will take around a hundred
million dollars from our people and
then use several millions Of it to
pay salaries to those who collect
and administer the tax and do a
lot OF shopping.
II it can be proven that the state
must have a few more millions.
l would rather see some increase
IN the taxes the state now levies
imam to see us aggravated and
pestered with sales taxes which
are nuisance to those who buy
and those who sell.
II you agree with me. won't YOU
please write to our representatives
and respectfully request them to
use their influence and vote against
Almonds proposed Sales Tax Bill?

Companies With Large Acreage
Most industrial stocks are poor

Gated. However. industrials with
large land or natual reserves or
other tangible holdings should be
the best of the industrials. TIL e
most sought after by wise investors
are those with good arrangements
plus heavy depreciation charges
and sufficient working capital.
I am not acquainted with all of
Central America; but I once owned
and operated a school in Guatemala
City. Hence, 1 know of the con-
structive work of the United Fruit
Co.. which has grown to great i'm
portance with repeatedly the larg-
est acreage in the Americas, hav-
ing sunshine, water, and a long
growing season. It raises not only
the finest bananas, but also cocoa.
palm oil, cattle, and timber. The
Company has fleet of sixty steam
ships, oil reserves in Colombia, and
large net current assets, excluding
railways, buildings, and a complete
wireless system. United Fruit stock
however, is only one such; there
are several good industrials with
large aceage. And land = whether
the lot next to you or lands in
other parts of America - should
be the best hedges against infla-
ton.

Whatever the true status Of the inter-
national relationships may be, America
must be kept strong militarily and it
must not be lulled to lethagy through a
false security. Regardless of politics, this
important question should be settled quick

United States.
Mr. Eisenhower distrubs us with the
recommendation for REORGANIZATION of

Courts jurisdiction, but subject to re-

ton by every member of the United

We do not believe that the United States
should place its sovereignty in the power
of any foreign group anywhere, or at any
time. The people Of the United States have
shown their willingness to assist all peoples
everywhere, and has fought two disastrous

sovereign rights Of other friendly nations

sovereign rights Of the United States under

BabSon Park. Mass, January 7.
don't see how buying Dow-Jones
common stocks now can be hedge
against initiation. This is not to say
that they may not go higher; but
these stocks are already too in
flated to be bought as initiation
hedges by intelligent people.
Initiation Hedge Requirements
First. good initiation hedge char
acteristics must be based upon
tangible and marketable assets and
not on good will or temporary
earnings. Second. these tangible
assets should be land of natural
resources such as oil. gas, min
erals, water power, or woodlands.
These usually go up in price as
the dollar goes down in value. This
assumes fair taxation and no harm
full legislation. There is no hedge
against an opportunistic Congress
or Communist government which
takes title to private property with
out fair recompense.
theoretically it would be wise
for readers to go into debt and
borrow money now. provided they
made sure they would have the
cash to pay the interest On the loan
and pay up the loan at maturity.
Otherwise, instead Of making
money, they could be wiped out
completely.
# it is wise to borrow now in
order to pay up with deprecated
dollars later, then it is unwise to
loan money now. This means:
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-01-12

! Don't buy new long noncovertible
bonds or preferreds unless you plan
to sell soon. They are not now a
safe permanent investment
What About Life Insurance?
In a general way this reasoning
applies to most life insurance poll
cies if you buy today and then live
twenty years or more while the
value of the dollar declines.
Actually, you should probably buy,
say. double what you ordinarily
would. to be sure of having the
money to pay the premiums over
the twenty or more years.
The insurance feature, of course.
may offset the risk of initiation
your family could get big sum
if you should die within year.
Hence, | believe in simple life
insurance, with no endowments or
frills.
What About Stocks?
Neither railroad nor utility com
mon stocks should be bougth as in
flation hedges because, during an
lnflationary era, operating costs
could go up so that dividends would
be reduced. At best. net earnings
would lag behind any rise in rates;
and most railroad stocks should be
avoided for other reasons also.
Don't depend upon the most popu-
lar stocks of today. Fashions in
stocks change as quickly as fash
ions in dress. A popular stock to-
day is usually not a good infla-
ton hedge. For reasons, write my

steps these sensible merchants of
Farmville have taken and 1 here
request the members of our County
Board of Supervisors to not only
desist from being in favor of a
State Sales Tax Law but to come
out against it. I request them to
do this because it is my opinion
that the majority of our citizens
who voted for them, are opposed
to this law. 1t seems to me that
it is the duty of our Supervisors
to carry out the wishes of the ma

for our Representatives in the House

of our County and our state write
to our representatives and make it
known to them whether or not they
approve of this proposed Stat
Sales Tax Law that Almond wants
to foster on us at this time. If we
will not take the trouble to voice

Textile Study Slated;
Retirement Taxation?
BY EDWARD II. SIMS
and JAMESON CAM

WASHINGTON; D. C., Jan. II =
Should Sen. John F. Kennedy take
on Sen. Hubert Humphrey of Min
nesota in the Winconsin presiden-
tial preference primary next April.
the present field Of five leading
contenders for the Democratic
presidential nomination will prob
ably be narrowed to four, top Wash
ington political observers believe.
Humphrey has served notice he
intends to run in the Wisconsin
primary. Kennedy was reported to
be trying to decide whether or not
to challenge Humphrey in Wiscon-
sin.
If he decides to run, the loser
will very probably have killed his
chances of getting the presidential
nod at the Democratic convention
next July.
High Democratic party sources
in Washington also indicate that
should Humphrey defeat Kennedy in
the Wisconsin primary, Kennedy will
probably wind up in the second
spot on the Democratic ticket.
Greater enforcement in the field
of civil rights during 1859 than in
any previous year was reported to
Attorney G neral William p
Rogers by Acting Assistant At
torney General Joseph M. F. Ryan,
Jr., in his year-end accounting for
activities of the Civil Rights Divi-
sion of the Justice Department.
II should like to emphasize, -
Ryan said. :'that although the pri-
mary obligation of protecting the
rights of citizens rests with each
state, the federal government will
take swift and vigorous action to
protect the rights of citizens when
ever the state fails to fulfill its OBJ
legations and legal basis exists
for federal action.
The U. S. Department of Com
merce has announced it will under
take a study of long-term trends of
textiles in the nations economy
which will include consideration of
measures that the industry or gov
eminent might adopt to strengthen
demand.
The survey, the fourth in a series
dealing with textile problems, will
be based on historical date relating
to textiles. The findings will be due
sometime after mid 1860 and will
De made available to industry.
Senior citizens who receive re-
tirement benefits may be colnpell-
ed to pay taxes on their govern
ment pensions if the House Ways
and Means Committee adopts a pro-
posed new tax reform bill, and if
Congress enacts it into law.
The Committee, headed by Rep.
Wilbur Mills, Of Arkansas, has been
conducting hearings on several pro-
posalS for reform of the tax sys-
tenn.
Various tax experts have sug-
gested that elderly citizens should
not continue to receive the benefit
of special educations on their re-
tirement pay from the government.
The tax experts testifying before
the committee have stressed that
there is little or no difference be-
tween young married couples who
earn $1,000 annually and retired
couples who receive that much
year. under the Social Security sys-
tenn. Yet the elderly couples do not
pay taxes on their income, while
the young couples do.
