whose name seemed to be Roger,
was saying to Al, IF I didn't know
you so well I would think you
were a mean scoundrel. How can
you say you regret the fact that
you didn't do more for your moth
er than you did"
Al answered and said, IF only
I had appreciated my mother
when was young, as much as
I appreciate her now, I could have
made life so much easier for her.
Then Roger told him your mother
told me after her husbands death,
when you were only twenty years
old that you told her not to worry
because you were going to take
care of her and all Of your sisters
and brothers and she also told me
that beginning with the first pay
day you had after your fathers
death, you gave her the same
amount of money your father had
earned and how she appreciated
what you did for her and re-
GREETED the fact she was not able
to earn money herself. She also
told me you never once by word
or deed made her feel she was a
burden to you, but you seemed
happy to be able to do for her.
Don't ever say you regret you
didn't do more"
Your mother told me when your
sister was engaged to be married
she said she wished she could have
a wedding and wear a veil. Your
mother told her you were doing
all you could and she would not
ask you to do more but that they
could get married at home with
the family present. When you
heard about it, you told your

mother to have the house decorat-
ed inside and out and have a small
home wedding. It was a lovely
wedding, and oh how much your
mother thanked you for your kind
ness.
I can't understand how you can
sit here and say how much you
regret you didn't do more for your
mother.
AL looked at Roger and in al
most a whisper said, II made a
great deal of money but I never
let Nom know. I spent the rest on
myself and I could have spent
much more on Nom to make life
easier for her. That is what hurts
me, the deception.
Roger told AL that all of us
have regretted something in our
lives but when it was as trivial as
AIS problem he was to forget it
and remember all Of the happiness
he gave his mother. He said, you
really made her happy because
when she needed you most you
were right by her side. Just re-
member that and your days will be
brighter. Your mother was very
happy and very proud of you.
stood there looking at this man
who had made his mothers life
happy and then I thought of the
young man who left his mothers
home after his fathers death be-
cause he was afraid he would have
to help his mother with her prob
lens. He too has said how much
he regrets that, but it doesn't wor-
ry him, too much. That Is life,
some take it very seriously and
others just brush it off. Some have

If you are not able to buy a gift

You will be surprised how happy
she will be to hear from you or to

Tariff-Cutting
Plan 0kayed
By the Associated Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee gave tentative ap-'
proval yesterday to the basic
tariff : cutting authority re-
quested by President Kennedy
In his foreign trade bill.
BY a party-line vote, with
Democrats in the majority. the
committee defeated Republican
efforts to limit the Presidents
authority to reduce tariffs be-
tween the United States and
the European Common Market.
Still not acted on, however,
Is an amendment that would
forbid any tariff concessions
to countries which maintain
such nonsariff restrictions as
quotas, domestic subsidies and
other devices to limit the entry
Of United States farm products.
This amendment, offered by
Representative Harrison, DEM
ocrat Of Virginia, may be taken
up today, . committee spokes-
man said.
The key section that emerged
yesterday from the committees
long, slow deliberations would
authorize the President to cut
all tariffs so per cent, and
remove them entirely on those
items of which the United
States and the Common Mar
ket account for 10 per cent
of the free worlds exports.
Representative Byrnes, Re-
publican of Wisconsin, sought
to limit the items on which
tariffs could be abolished to
those for which the United
States has at least a Is per
cent share Of the free worlds
exports. As now drawn the
bill doe, not provide any mini
mum amount the United States
must produce as long as the
combined total of the Common
Market and the. United States
is 80 per cent.
Mr.. Byrnes also tried to
limit the categories on which
the President could remove
tariffs. as well as the items.
He lost both moves by Totes
Of 15-l0.

Sec Probes
Mutual Fund
Sales Tricks
BY FRANK CORNER
Associated Press staff Writer

Tricky techniques" for mu-
tual fund salesmen are being
explored at hearings by the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
SEC Attorney Meyer Eisen-
berg quoted at length yesterday
from training manuals outlin-
ing tactics which he suggested
were quite out of keeping with
the high standards professed by
the fund industry, one of the
fastest-growing segments Of the
securities business.
Further questioning of fund
representatives was scheduled
today as the SEC continued
hearings In its investigation of
the securities industry.
The sales lessons cited by
Mr.. Eisenberg were taken from
training manuals prepared by
Kalb, Voorhis & Co., a New
York Stock Exchange brokerage
firm which specializes in the
publication Of sales and train
ing aids for mutual fund re-
tailers.
Practice" Urged
In one lesson. a novice sales
man was urged to call q relative
or friend and ask to see him to
get advice. It said this should
be enough to get him inside
the house.
Once on the scene, he was
told, he should say he was TAX
ing on a new job and wanted
practice in trying out his sales
presentation. He should ask
his relative or friend to pre-
tend to be a potential customer
and ask whatever questions
might come to mind during
the sales talk.
Once the presentation has
been made, the manual sug-
gested. the salesman should
say, THE more I think Of 1t,
George, the more I think you
should invest in mutual funds"
And he should go on from
there to close the sale.
Show Rich Merchandise
Another suggestion offered
retailers by Kalb. Voorhis was
to conduct ''Mr. and Mrs. meet
ings" for statesmen and their
wives. At such sessions, an ar
ray Of merchandise-including
a mink coat-should be pa
raded before the audience.
complete with price tags. Then
the statesmen and their mates
should be told how many extra
sales would be needed to pay
for each article. &
"Is this motivation Of sales
men consistent with the soft
sell or the hard sell?" asked
Mr.. Eisenberg.
Ferdinand Nauheim. a Kalb,
voorhis partner, replied that
the purpose would be to get
salesrnen's wives to understand
and sympathize with their
work because they must neces-
sarily be away from home q
great deal during the evening.
which could cause resentment.
Mr.. Nauheim said he could
see nothing inconsistent be-
tween such meetings and high
industry standards. He gave
the same answer when asked
about the implications Of other
gambits suggested in the vari-
Gus manuals prepared by his
firm.

Curibuir Shuttle
Service Unsatisfactory
For Local. Needs


For Local Needs
The Shuttle Service being
rendered BY Caribair IS prov
ing to be unsatisfactory to St.
Croix. Complaints are new
pouring in from individuals
who now actually fear the ser
vice.
Despite newspaper articles
and radio announcements on
the ease Of travel BY shuttle
flights, and the promise that
in the event that if a scheduled
flight IS filled, another plane is
stationed in the Virgin Islands
to fly over and pick up even
one passenger in minutes-this
promise is not being kept.
On Sunday, July 20, there
was a large group Of Boy
Scouts waiting to fly to st.
Thomas from IL noon to 700
pm before the last one was
flown out.
Passengers who had arrived
at the Alexander Hamilton
Airport at l2;5 pm. TO check
in for flight No. l55 scheduled
to depart at l:5O pm. were
told that the flight was full
that they would have to go on
a later flight about 600 pm.
OF the dozen or more passen-
gers so informed, several had
to make connections with Pan
American Flight No, 294 de-
parting San Juan at 3:45 pm.
Clerks were informed Of this,
but apparently no attempt was
made to secure a second csc
ton until I:3O p.m., even
though Flight 155 was full at
l2:45 pm. The extra flight fin
ally departed from St. Groix at
2;2O pm. and there were still
several passengers who could
not be taken to San Juan.
Several citizen groups are up
in arms about the state Of af-
fairs and have gone on record
as supporting the certification
Of a second airline to serve the
Virgin Islands and P. R.
