The information was brought
out by the Foreign Appropria-
tions Subcommittee in a scru-
tiny of the S275 million con-
tingency account controlled by
the President but actually
spent by the State Depart
ment and the Agency for Inter-
national Development.
Mr.. PaSsman commented
that the law governing the
fund is broad enough to per-
nit the President to open a
saloon every two miles across
some foreign country"
In testimony released today,
AID Director Fowler Hamilton
agreed that the fund was sup
posed to take care of unfore-
seen developments and Ito deal
with a real crisis"

lican of Michigan, a supporter
of most foreign aid programs,
said he was bothered by the
implication the emergency fund
was being used to finance prof.
ectS cut out or modified by
Congress.
Mr.. Hamilton testified that
through April the fund had
been tapped for 1928, ,423 900 for
situations like aid to Greece
when the Berlin situation got
hot"
The tabulation of withdraw
ais. supplied at Mr.. PasSman's
demand, disclosed some other

nessman who takes a deduction
is a crook"
Senator Gore, who had sug-
gested earlier that Florida has
an interest in the expense ac-
count question because of its
many fine hotels and yachting
facilities, replied:
I'm talking about the tax
payer who disguises personal
expenses as business expenses
I expect to show what the ma
jority report intended these
words to mean. 1t means no
substantial loophole will be
closed, but made worse"
President Kennedy originally
recommended that the cost OF
business entertainment, in.
cluding club dues and the
maintenance of yachts anC
hunting lodges, be disalloweo
in full as a tax deduction. II
was estimated this would in
crease tax revenue by $3.50 mil
lion. But both the House and
Senate committee decided to
try to eliminate abuses without
cutting out entertainment en-
tirely.
The House provision was esti-
mated to increase revenue by
$125 million. A chart placed
in the record by Senator Doug
las. Democrat of Illinois. esti-
mates that the Senate expense
accounts provision will bring in
$50 million.
The investment credit plan
was opposed yesterday by q
coalition of liberals and con-
Servatives because they said 1t
was a 7 per cent flat across
the-board credit, whereas the
President originally asked for
a IS per cent credit only on
the net amount by which the
investment in machinery ex-
ceeded existing depreciation al
lowanceS of a company.
But just before the Senate
voted, Democratic Leader
Mansfield read a letter from
Treasury Secretary Dillon plac-
ing the administration on rec
ord in favor of the modified
version now in the bill. His
letter read in part:
THE investment credit con-
tained in this bill will operate
as a powerful stimulus to in
vestment. In combination with
the Treasury's recent admins
trative reform of depreciation,
the credit will, at long last, give
to American business tax treat
ment on new investment in
machinery and equipment ap-
preaching that of its chief
competitors in Western Europe,
Canada and Japan. Its adop-
ton will constitute a major
advance toward our national
goals of greater economic
growth and the increased pro-
ductive efficiency and compet-
itivenesS necessary to a solu-
tion of our balance of paw
ments problem"
Under the provision, most
companies can deduct from
their taxes up to 7 per cent
of what they spend on new
equipment. Public utilities
would be allowed 3 per cent.
Foes of the credit assailed
it as a windfall to many COM
panieS which they said would
make the investment anyway
They insisted there was no
evidence it would bring any
additional modernization.

Education

Teachers - II you teach in
public schools, your salary may
be increased by at least $400
over the next two years. The
State will pay that much more
but if the locality already pays
more than the minimum, you
may not be affected.
Driver training - The extra
money you pay for drivers and
chauffeurs' permits will make
it possible for the State De-
partment of Education to pay
up to $25 toward the cost Of
driver education in all high
schools desiring to institute the
course. Because the expense
runs up to $40 in some locali-
ties, a local fee of not more
than SIS will be permitted il
needed to pay actual costs.
Educational TV - Your chile

fooling around with a tele-
phone could get you in trouble
as a result of two new laws.
One makes it illegal to give
false information over the
phone about someone being
dead, injured or sick; the other
bans ringing another PERSONS
telephone simply to annoy him.
Credit cards-The increasing
trend toward use of credit
cards prompted another new
law-one aimed at penalizing
anyone who attempts to obtain
credit with a fraudulent credit
card. Try this trick now and
you're liable to be fined as
much as $500 and put in Jail
for as long as a year.
Picketing-If you join a
picket line to protest the racial
policies Of a restaurant, a store
or other business, you are run
ming the risk of violating a
stronger anti-boycott law. The
Legislature increased penalties
for anyone who joins with 9TH
ers to hurt a persons name, his
reputation or his business. The
law applies to all forms of pick
citing, not just racial matters,

for research in the field.
IntegratiOn - If you are a
teacher white or Negro-and
your school is or becomes in
tegrated, you may cancel your
annual contract with the county
or city if you feel chat strongly
about segregation.
School buses-The safety and
welfare of your children was
in mind when this law was
passed: School bus drivers
must be between the ages of 16
and 65 (there now is no limit
who will have to furnish three
statements. One from a doctor
will certify physical and mental
ability; another from the divi-
sion of motor vehicles must
show a satisfactory driving rec
ord, and a third, from two re
sponsible" citizens, must testify
as to good morals and char
acter.
Higher education - If you
have a son or daughter plan
ming to go to a State-supported
college, you might have to pay
a non-refundable fee just for
the privilege of applying. The
General Assembly passed a res
olution saying colleges should
insofar as practical. fix a rea-
sonable fee that would recover
the cost of processing applica-
tions. The idea is to cut down
on needless applications by one
student to many colleges.
Nearby c0llege-The goal OF
establishing suitable buildings
for a branch of the University
of Virginia near your home If
you live in Northern Virginia is
a step nearer. The Legislature
added $590,000 to $l,294,600
previously appropriated for
George Mason College in the
city of Fairfax.

How Your Life's Affected by New Virginia Laws

80 counties. mostly in Western

require the purchase of special
damage stamps" to go on
your hunting license. The mon-
ey collected from the stamps
would be used to pay farmers
for crop damage by wild game,
but you won't know whether
the stamp is required unless
you check the local courthouse
first.
Anti-spOtIighting Carrying
flashlight and a gun at the
same time after dark will be
against the law. AS a matter
of fact, you can't carry a bow
and arrow with a light, either.
1t becomes illegal to sweep
fields with spotlights or flash
lights at night while in pos
session of firearms or archery
equipment.
Boat regiStration-State laws
were tightened and now con-
form with the United Sta e S
Coast Guard regulations on
boat registration and safety
equipment. Example-if you are
| in a rowboat at night, you
must have a lantern or hand
flashlight aboard, adequate to
warn approaching boats.

operators of Dulles Interna-
tional Airport as well as other
airportS may destroy deer

Referendums-When you &C

will, in addition to electing a
Congressman and certain local
officers, vote on three changes
in the State Constitution: l. Re-
moving the blank sheet" vot-
ing requirement so that per-
sons may register on printed
forms; 2. Authorizing the Gen.
eral Assembly to restrict voters
on State and local bond issues
to "freeholders, that is, own
ers of real estate on which
taxes are paid, and 3. Allowing
two-fifths of the General AS
sembly to pass laws in the
event of nuclear attack on the
soil of Virginia. The theory
behind the latter proposal is
that casualties may be so high
it might be impossible to mus
ter a simple majority. Laws
passed in such emergencies
would require approval of four
ififths of those present; laws
would remain in effect for one
year only and would be subject
to judicial review.

conflicting statute is inter-
preted differently in each COM

Motorists

OpCCu AAlAtS-OOOIl you can
whiz down Shirley highway or
over all other limited-access
highways at IS miles an hour
without fear of arrest. At pres
ent the limit is SIS, except on
certain designated limited-ac-
cess roads. where it is so. Truck
limits remain at so miles per
hour on limited-acceSS roads;
As on all others.
Road hogs - If you like to
keep to the inside lane of a
four-lane highway, you'd better
change your driving habits. A
new law requires you to keep
to the right-hand outside"
lane when you travel slower
than the normal flow Of traffic.
Implied cOnsent-No matter
what State licensed you to
drive, you will have to submit
to a blood alcohol test if you
are charged with driving while
drunk in Virginia-or else your
permit will be revoked auto
matically for so days. After
the drunk driving charge is
tried, you may demand a sec
ond trial on your refusal to
submit to the test.
Radar-Don't put one of those
electronic radar detectors in
your car if you travel in Vir-
ginia. Perhaps it's just as we'll
the Legislature made them il
legal. Some of the makers of
those devices are working on
another electronic gadget to tell
police when YOU have a de-
tector in your car.
Seat belts - Beginning with
1868 models, all cars registered
in Virginia must be equipped
with approved seat belts to pass
inspection. They will have to
be in the front seats only, but
failure to use them will not
constitute negligence in case of
an accident. Wisconsin and New
York are the only other States
requiring seat belts.
Trucks-If you think those
mammoth trucks are getting
bigger. you're right. A new law
increased their maximum
weight from $4,000 to 10000
pounds and their height from
125 to 1875 feet. Strangely
enough the minimum bridge
clearance remains at 12.5 feet.
The Legislature thoughtfully
required warning signs to be
installed so that a 13.5-foot
truck won't try to negotiate a
12.5-foot bridge. If you hit a
bridge you will be charged with
a misdemeanor-if you survive.
Emergencies - Permitted but
not required are devices to
make all four directional sig
, nails on your car flash stimuli
taneously, to be used when a
car is disabled or in other
emergencies.
Stopping - If you are one
, who is curious and stops at
, scenes of accidents, fires and
! plane crashes, you had better
be more careful where you park
. A new law permits police to
have your car towed away at
, your expense if it impedes
emergency operations.
Repeat offenders - Habitual
: traffic offenders will find them
selves in more trouble than be-
/ fore as a result of a new law
! which makes it a separate Of
, fense to be convicted four times
, within a five-year period for
5 certain serious violations.
Driving permits - After July
7 l, the price of your drivers per-
