NATIONS

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Jan. "a (AP) United Nations
delegates predicted today the
General Assembly will give
overwhelming approval to an
Asian-African resolution call
ing on Portugal to end what is
called harsh rule in Angola and
start the West African colony
on the road to independence.
The resolution was submit
ted yesterday with 40 sponsors
and was expected to poll as
many as IS favorable votes in
the 104-nation assembly, well
over the two thirds needed for
approval.
The draft was assured sup
port from the 81 members of
the Asian-African bloc, the g.
nation Soviet bloc and many
of the 20 Latin American
states.
The United States, Britain
and France have given no in
dication how they will vote on
the proposal, which asks all
member states to deny Portugal
"a NATO member-any sup
port that could be used against
the AngolanS.
Washington POndering
A United States spokesman
said the resolution had been
sent to Washington for study
and that United States Ambas-
sador Adlai E. Stevenson would
reveal the American position
tomorrow. Observers predicted
he would support the Asian
African draft.
The French and British also
indicated they were still study
ing the draft. Some delegates
speculated that Britain would
abstain and that France would
do likewise or would vote
against it.
The resolution is a good deal
stronger than one approved by
the Assembly last April, which
called for reforms in Angola
to end alleged violations of
human rights and set up an
investigating committee.
The ASian-African draft is
milder, however, than an ear
lier resolution put in by Poland
and Bulgaria. The Commu-
mist proposal seeks condemna-
ton of Portugal and asks the
Security Council to consider
punitive measures against Lis
bon.

Dupont TaxCut
Measure Sent
To President
BY the Associated Press

| oy thc AooOSlhtcQ ETcbS
The Senate has passed a
measure that would cut millions
of dollars from the tax bill OF
Du Pont stockholders in the
event they receive $3.5 billion
in General Motors stock from
an antitrust decision.
Senate passage late yesterday
after a week of debate and
months of maneuvers, COM
pleted congressional action on
he legislation. The House passed
it last September. President
Kennedy's approval was consid-
cred certain.
The Supreme Court has ruled
that Du Pont possession of SO
million shares of GIN stock vio-
lates antitrust laws and the
chemical firm must dispose of
| it.
Du Pont said it would prefer
to do this by distributing the
shares to its stockholders but
could not because of the heavy
taxes under present law.
Regular Tax Rate
The law would require the re-
cipientS to pay on the full value
of the GIN stock at regular in
come tax rates.
Thus the tax relief measure
was drawn up.
The bill would permit them
to pay at capital gains rates
half the normal income levy UP
to a Is per cent maximum
and only on the difference be-
tween what they paid for du-
Pont and what the GIN stock
now is worth.
This means an estimated
two-thirdS of the 200, 900 du-
Pont stockholders would not
have to pay a tax on receipt
of the stock.
The bill would reduce the
taxes on such a distribution
from more than a 81 billion
down to about $470 million.
However. DUPONT said that if
the bill were not pressed it
would accomplish the divesti-
ture in other ways on which
taxes would come to about $46O
million.
Du Pont stock opened on the
New York Stock Exchange to-
day at $22950, off Is cents from
yesterdays close, while General
Motors first trade was at $54.5O,
up Is cents. The Senate action
came as no great surprise to
most Wall StreeterS.
Passage came by voice vote
after debate on the complex
legislation droned on all after
noon with foes of the measure
unable to drum up enough votes
to change it.
Seeing the writing on the
wall, Senator Gore, Democrat
OF Tennessee, a leader of the
opposition, did not call up
amendments he had planned to
offer. He lost. 67-25, when he
tried to have the bill sent back
to the Finance Committee.
Another opposition move that
lost involved Christiana Securi-
ties Co., an investment firm
substantially owned by men,
bers of the DUPONT family.

Tax Deduction
Bi||Advancinq
BY the Associated Press

The traditional business lunch
or dinner seemed safe today as
a full income tax deduction
but the prospects were dim for
a round of night clubs with a
customer.
The House Ways and Means
Committee, looking for more
revenue from tighter tax laws,
yesterday ordered a legislative
section drafted that would per-
NIT deduction of only SO per
cent of most business enter
tainment eXpenses-and require
proof of the expenses.
Such draft orders usually
mean substantial agreement in
the committee, which handles
tax matters.
Short of Recommendation
The version the committee
ordered prepared for a final
note presumably would tax
much business entertainment
money which is exempt under
present law, although there
were no firm estimates. How
ever, it falls considerably short
of President Kennedy's recon-
mendations. These would have
eliminated completely deduc-
tions for most business ex-
penSes.
The expense account crack
down is designed to bring in
more revenues to offset pro-
posed concessions for business
investment in modernization.
In another draft order Monday,
the committee indicated favor
for as much as $1.8 billion of
such tax incentives.
Gift Deduction Limit
AS the committees drafters
are tentatively rewriting it, the
law would allow the present full
deduction of reasonable expen-
ditureS for food and beverages
under circumstances ordinarily
connected with business dis
cussions.
But on most other forms of
business entertainment - in
Guiding club dues-a business
man could claim only so per
cent of his outlays. In addition,
he would have to be prepared
to prove that his entertainment
had a legitimate business pur-
pose, at least to create valuable
good will, and that the recip-
lent did have a relation to the
giver'S business.
Moreover. business gifts
would be deductible only up to
$25 for any one recipient.

There was a great deal of
difficulty in finding the right
actor to portray 1t. Kennedy
but. the search was nothing
compared to the quest for
wartime PIT boats which had
been converted to civilian
uses and might be retreaded
for another go in the make

The boats proved as elusive
and hard to find for Warmers
scouts as they ever did for
the japanese in the Pacific
islands. At least. within con-
venient distance from Miami
and in condition to permit
reconverSion to war strength.
Eventually, the Warner unit
had to settle for a couple of
Air Force rescue boats, and
one actual PIT. The rescue
boats have a hull similar to
the larger 80-foot PIT boat.
These were hauled ashore
at three Miami marine yards
and are well along in the
work of restoring them to
conditions of the PIT boats

more years ago.

$4,000 private greenhouse is
planned at this tip Of the
Gold Coast, while at the
southern end plans are going
ahead for the new movie
based on the war-life Of
President Kennedy.
A permit has just been is
sued for the greenhouse at
Mar-a-Lago, the huge estate
of Mr.. and Mrs. Herbert May
of Washington, who left here
several weeks ago for the
Nations Capital.
Not so long ago, the Mays
added an $4,000 auditorium
ballroom to their Palm Beach
estate at HOO South Ocean
boulevard. This addition is
the one with beautiful par
quet flooring where feminine
guests are restricted against
wearing metal-tipped heels
so the floor cannot be
marred. This also is the site
of the frequent square dances
which the Mays give during
the winter social season.
Mar-a-Lago is the fabulous
villa built by Mrs. May when
she was Mrs. Edward F. Hut
ton. 1t is located across the
street from the fashionable
Bath and Tennis Club.
Behind huge interesting
gates, in addition to the
mansion, are cottages which
have housed many we'll
known guests. There also is
the Mays private golf course.
Back in 1880, the Huttons
provided a Broadway play,
Stepping Out" for some 200
guests. Then the entire cast,
it is said, had a full weeks
vacation at the estate.
Heading South
The Old World is reflected
in the large patio. 1t is de-
signed after the courtyard in
the Allah a m bra in Ora

one aspect of a villa that
echoes the splendor of the
earlier eras of Palm Beach.
1t was designed by Joseph
Urban, a Ziegfeld designer,
who also conceived the Bath
and Tennis Club.
Early this month, a small
fleet of PIT boats will slip
out of scattered "hideway"
repair yards along the Miami
River in Miami and head
southeast in the general
direction of Cuba.
Their streamlined low
silhouette hulls will be
flecked with camouflage.
Their deck torpedo tubes will
be loaded" explosive lash
cans" will be at the ready
in cradles at the stern and
their twin gun turret pits
will bristle with machine
guns.
But, don't get excited-the
fleet will be headed south
only as far as the Florida
Keys-not to wage a new
war but to recreate an old
one for a Warner Brothers
film called, "PT-109."
"PT-109" will be the story
of life and death of the most
