NY. Stock Exchange
 Against Proposed Tax

WASHINGTON R - The New York Stock Exchange says a pro- posed tax on some US. invest ments overseas is a departure from this country's long-standing policy of encouraging free international money markets.
 Such a change in policy could conceivably lead to a weakening of New York and the United States as the financial capital of the world" the exchange said in a statement filed with the House Ways and Means Committee.
 The committee is considering legislation to impose a tax on cer- tain foreign investments as a meas ure designed to discourage the flow of US. capital abroad.
 The New York Exchange said that, in any event, the tax should not be applied to present invest mentS.

Plane Wreckage Spotted in Rugged Mountain Area

ANCHORAGE LR - Wreckage sighted in the remote and rugged mountains of the Alaska Range near SkWentna was being investi- gated today as the possible remains of twin-engine plane which car ried seven US. Weather Bureau officials to their deaths in 1860.
 The Wreckage was sighted Sat urday by Howard Fowler, an An chorage pilot, while on hunting trip in the area some 75 miles northwest of Anchorage.
 An Air Force helicopter, carrying Federal Aviation Agency repre- sentatives, a State Police trooper and Fowler, left Elmendorf AF'B for the sight today.
 The FAA said Fowler reported the wreckage appeared to be that of a plane that had smacked into the side of a mountain.
 The seven Weather Bureau off cials vanished July 25, 1860, after leaving Anchorage in tWin-en- gined Beechcraft bound for Nome and Kotzebue.
 The plane vanished from the radar scope at Anchorage when it was about 140 miles northwest of here, heading into the mountain ous area where peaks rise as high as 10000 feet.
 The men were on a fOur-day trip to Nome and Kotzebue to in- spect Weather Bureau facilities here.
 The missing men included five Anchorage Weather Bureau en- ployes - w. B. Lindley, Harry C Carle, James w. BilD Grant, Charles Belcher and Thomas O. Mcdonald.
 The Weather Bureaus chief test pilot, George Brewster of Wash ington, DC, was at the controls. The seventh man aboard the craft was Walter Branstetter of Everett, Wn., a Weather Bureau employe assigned to the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization.

YOUR MONEYS WORTH :
Capital Gains Tax
Reform Is Debated

If you are a stockholder you
know that you must hold stock
for six months or longer before
a profit can qualify as a long
term capital gain and be SUBJ
ject to a maximum tax of 25
per cent.
If this holding period were
heightened to one year and the
tax on long-term capital gains
sharply lowered, would this en-
courage you to delay taking a
profit until after the l2-month
deadline and thus reduce the
number of your stock trans
actions2 Or would the fact that
you had to wait a year to get
the preferential tax treatment
encourage you to sell when
ever you felt the time was right
with the l2-month period, even
though you then would have
short-term gains taxed as reg
ular income at ordinary income
tax rates?
The Treasury thinks that
lengthening the holding period
would encourage you to make
more stock trades and that, as
a result, 1t would pick up an
extra $3.50 million a year at the
reduced capital gains rates
Thus, as a key tax reform, 1t is

line has passed, and naturally
we would like to have profits
on stocks which we sell after
years of ownership taxed at
lower rates. But the NYSE's
study does suggest the Treas
ury has overlooked historical
evidence indicating that a long
err holding period we'll might
reduce trading and that the
Treasury's estimate that this
reform would bring in an extra
$3.50 million a year is way off
base.
Congress last changed the
holding period in 1912, from a
minimum of 1S months to six
months. Immediately, the vol
ume of trading jumped, and
during the next four years
average daily volume on the
NYSE was up 13 per cent. The
reverse could happen now II the
holding period we're substan-

TALLY heightened, for the NYSE
reports that mine out of every
10 registered representatives
responding to a recent survey
said their clients would make
fewer transactions If the hold
ing period were heightened to
one year-even If the capital
gains tax we're reduced" The
holding period is estimated to
be the key factor in 20 to 25 per
cent of all securities sales. The
decline in trading on the Lon
don Stock Exchange since the
British Government introduced
a six-month holding period ir
1862 is another indication
shrinking liquidity would be the
Evening star., 1963-05-22

urging lengthening of the
period.
Most Wall Streeters disagree
with this view, and the New
York Stock Exchange has re-
leased a new study which says
that lengthening of the holding
period to one year would cut
stock transactions 10 to Is per
cent, and instead of increasing
the Treasury's tax take would
slice it by 500 million a year
The NYSE reasons that many
OF you would postpone taking
profits because you would not
want to add these to your reg
ular income. If volume of trad
ing fell 10 to Is per cent, obvi-
ously there would be far fewer
transactions on which the
Treasury could collect capital
gains and stock transfer taxes
If there were fewer transac-
tions, the market would be
less liquid, this reform" would
neither stimulate the economy
nor help balance the budget.
On this tax reform I have
mixed feelings. AS truly long
term investors, we rarely
switch stocks on which we have
gains just because a tax dead

ing here.
We are among the few coun-
tries which tax capital gains
at all, incidentally. Most do not
consider these gains as income
and exempt them from taxa
ton. While we do not exempt
capital gains, we also recognize
they are different from income
and are entitled to a preferen-
tial rate. The purpose of a
holding period is to distinguish
between an investment and an
ordinary business transaction

Other cities are building

President Kennedy was
nevertheless convinced that
he would raise the money
and build the Center during
the next five years. He clear
ly planned to leave It as one
of the enrichments Of his
tenure.
In destroying this inten-
ton, his death has opened
the possibility Of securing the
money quickly through an
appropriation by Congress.
His family and associates all
see the Center as a fitting
memorial because It would
epitomize the spirit that he
and Mrs. Kennedy worked to
stimulate in the white
House, their sense that the
country should represent the

away from the fanatics Of
the Far Left and the Far
Right. from the apostles Of
bitterness and blgotry, from
those d efiant Of law,an
those who pour venom into
our Nations bloodStream."
This Is but another way Of
saying that in America the
voice OF reason can be tri-
umphant over violence and
that debate and discussion
and even vehement express
sions Of opinion-can be
phrased to reflect the sincere
beliefs Of conscientious cit
liens. But, even IN saying this.
there Is need for self-re-
straint among those who have
become impatient with the
slow-moving processes of the
law and threaten arbitrary
steps to force action.
As Mr.. Johnson counselled
the people to deal with public
affairs In q dispasSionate
mood, he made no reference
to the motives of the assassin
who took Mr.. Kennedy's life.
But nobody can logically in
fer that the mentally unba-
lanced or deranged indivi-
duals who were inflaned by
some personal grievance to
seek vengeance and assassi-
nate four Of our Presidents
could be IN any way consi-
dered typical Of the manhood
Of this or Of any other coun-
try.
Our Nation was waiting for
words from the new Presi-
dent which would bring con-
fidence and quiet the emo
tons arising out Of our con-
troversies in domestic an
foreign issues. Mr.. Johnson
met the test. He gave the
country and the world aSsu-
rance that the Government
Of the United States contin-
ues to reflect the ideals and
high purposes Of the Ameri-
can people, unmarried by the
tragedies Of the past few
days.

action" These. Of course. are
broad principles and neces-
sarily viii have to be defined
by Congress IN the coming
weeks and months. While
urging the passage C. the tax
bill and the civil Rights"
bin, the President realizes
that Congress must find
ways to secure agreement on
many points Of dispute In
trying to achieve the basic
goals Of these measures.
This means that a spirit Of
compromise will doubtless
develop. Mr.. johnson pointed
the way to It as he said:
"As one who has long
served in both houses Of the
Congress, I firmly believe In
the independence and the
integrity Of the legislative
branch. And I promise you
that I shall always respect
this. It Is deep in the marrow
Of my bones. With equal
firmness, I believe in the
capacity and I believe In the
ability Of the Congress, des-
pite the division Of opinions
which characterize our Ma
ton, to act-to act wisely. to
act vigorously. to act speedily
when the need arises"
There will be much discus
sion about the implicit
phrases Of Mr.. Johnson's adj
dress, for they were indeed
significant. He spoke Of the
need for tolerance and mu-
tual understanding" The fol-
lowing paragraph especially
will long be quoted:

It was not that Washing
