South African
 Says Price of Gold Should be Doubled

PORTLAND R - The price of gold ought to be doubled, a South African gold expert says.
 He said the begged $35-an-ounce price was causing instability of the international money system.
 And, he cautioned here yester- day currency tinkering by the United States might "give the So- viet bloc wonderful opportunity to taking over the role of the worlds chief international banker"
 w. J. Busschau, chairman of the Gold Fields of Africa Ltd, protested that it has been difficult to get a good discussion of his views in this country because talk of re- valuation of gold has been tabbed "as a kind of unpatriotic assault on American integrity"
 His audience here had built in sympathetic view. It was the gold and money session of the Pacific Northwest Metals and Minerals Conference; a conference that annually attracts miners and metals industry men concerned with the falling-off of domestic mining.
 Busschau, who is director of the South African Reserve Bank as y well as chairman of one of the S principal South African mining
 companies, said the various coun- O tries should act together in cutting y the theoretical gold content o1 " their money. This would have the l. effect of increasing the price o
 gold but leaving the exchange rate L. between countries unchanged. D. And at the same time currency I. should once again be exchange IS able for gold, he said. It would ,f be a full return to the gold stand
 ard, abandoned by this country 1T ;e 1883 and by Great Britain in 1881 s The price of gold has beer $ begged at $35 an ounce since 1934
 and 73 national currencies use the d United States gold dollar as the : standard of exchange. Only Con- ]. l SICSo Coll CIldIlSe US value IIOlIl 9 the $35 base.
 ? Busschau saw this price at the t bottom of the acknowledgements l problem that the United States has had in in recent years - a problem marked by a flow of gold reserves out of this country. :, What has been happening, BusS- chau said, is that the $35 price has kept the reserves of other countries too low in terms of dol lars. This in turn has forced the United States through a process of international imitation, to pro- vide the other nations with dollars via loans or gifts" As a result, he said, 'the position of the free world has improved and that of the United States has deteriorated."
 Some who oppose re-evaluation of gold, he said, have suggested dangerous experiments with cur rency. If carried out, he said, the Soviet bloc, using a convertible gold currency, might lure enough l, uncommitteed nations into a sub stltution of rubles for dollars to make Russia the worlds banker.

Just How Does rust

money. She would eliminate
the patronizing attitude of
men who let lawyers and
banks tell their widows what
they can or can't do with
their money so they will
escape the wolves the hus-
bands never let them learn
how to avoid.
The widow didn't praise or
condemn trusts, except that
she knew trusts and wills
were the primary ropes hus-
bands use to tie the widows
hand in using the money
she helped her husband make.
AS FOR TRUSTS as they
apply to the normal man
and wife moving into retire
ment: They are proper,
reputable, usually safe and
conservative, and are used
mainly by people with a lot
of money. They are an in
strument whereby a husband
can decree-and usually does
exactly how and when his
widow and children will get
the money he leaves behind.
There are fees, for the lawyer
and the bank, in setting UP
a trust, and the income from
the trust may run about 3
per cent. The husband who
accumulated 100000 while
his wife was running his
errands, his children, his
kitchen and his bedroom for
him can leave 1t in trust at.
3 per cent and his widow
can struggle along on the
$4,000 a year income. But
she can't spend any Of the
S500,00O unless the trustees
of the trust say she can.
She can't determine whether
the children who are good
to her in old age will get
more than the migrate chill
dren-her masterful but now
buried husband decided that.
She has been deprived of her
greatest weapon in old age.
Any many a widow In
Michigan-the State cited by
the lawyer-would happily
pay Uncle Sam $4,000 extra
taxes out of an estate of
$135,00O If they could have,
without strings, the money
they helped their husbands
make.
The way some husbands
like to leave their money
behind, whether it is $4,000
or 100000. is sometimes
wonderful to behold. T h ey
won't teach their wives how
to handle money, then use
this as an excuse to make
their own determination in
wills and trusts, as to how
the family money viii be dis
posed of. They are having q
fine time of it, except in the
community property States.

BY THOMAS COLLINS
A LAWYER objects,

"A AoWJNA SSJNSSos
II cannot allow to go un-
answered" he says, "the i'm
preston left by your column
that 1t is unwise for a hus-
band to leave his estate in
trust whereby his widow is
given the income from it for
life, with the principal going
to the children on her
death. :"
He is referring to a plea
made here by a widow who
thought husbands should
leave their money in toto to
their widows without any
commandments that they
must pass on, equally, to the
children that part of 1t they
haven't used up. She thought
a husband ought to have
more faith in the woman
who had lived with him As
years and who bore the chill
dren that the widow
should get the money with
out strings, to do with as
she pleased.
The lawyer continues:
1.-THE overwhelming reason
why estates are left In trust
by husbands is the cata-
strophic effect of Federal
Estate Taxes. and unless one
half Of the estate is left in
trust the impact of these
taxes cannot be reduced.
For instance, If a hus-
band lived in the State Of
Michigan, had three children,
and had an estate of $685.
900, the tax savings of a
trust would be about $16,-
900. :"
OTHER REASONS for a
trust, says the lawyer, are
that the widow is relieved of
the continuous pressure Of
children for money, and the
husband feels she will be
victimized by stock and bond
statesmen and others for
whom she becomes lawful
prey when she is left q sub
Stantial amount Of money. =. :"
This gets down to the nub
of what the widow was talk
ing about. Whose money Is
the money the husband
leaves all tied up with
Whereas" and the Thou
Shall Not" clauses? The
widow thought it was prop
erly theirs together. In COM
munity property States, such
as California, the m oney
would be half his and half
hers, no matter what. But
the widow would go beyond
this-to give the surviving
spouse of a marriage partner
ship the full right to every
thing.
She would eliminate tn e
"big shot" attitude many
husbands manifest in provid-
ing that they are seeing to
it that the children get some

Guide for Parents
Here are some suggestions
to help parents with this
endeavor:
. Habits are formed faster
when the individual wants
to act In the desired fashion.
Work together with your
child. Make it q family
project.
. Help your child renew his
determination to control his
attention. He must keep his
new resolution in mind or the
old pattern automatically
will take over.
. In the early stages watch
as he performs a task. PAY
attention to what you are
doing!" is a sharp reminder
children should be given
whenever 1t is needed. Praise
him when he succeeds.
. Choose special tasks for
concentrated training. If
Susie is setting the table for
dinner, insist that she keep
her mind on what she Is
doing and set the table cor
rectly.
. If Joe is washing the car,
insist that he take RESPONSE
bility for every detail-win-
dows must be closed before
water Is applied, the interior
must be brushed out, soap or
other cleaning agents must
be rinsed off, water must
not be sprayed on other cars
or passing pedestrians
through carelessness. He will
form the habit of keeping
his mind on his work.

Long gone is the time
when overweight was con-
sidered a joke. And now few
people look upon the fat man
as the happy-go-lucky man.
They are quite aware that
emotional tensions are the
cause Of much overeating
and subsequent obesity. How
ever, they still continue to
believe that certain condi-
tons predispoSe to weight
gain. For example, consider
operations. Here is a letter
on that problem:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
would like to ask you if after
a hysterectomy (removal Of
uterus) operation a woman
usually gains weight. I had
the operation two years ago
and have had trouble since
then keeping my weight
down.
I am quite active. I swim,
bowl and am active in our
garden. I never had trouble
with my weight before. Now
I can't seem to keep it down,
being at least IS pounds over
my usual weight. I am IS,
and although it is beginning
to bother me, I've never
talked about it to my doctor.
Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. P.
ALTHOUGH THERE is
still much we don't know
about obesity why one
should gain and another "eat
like a horse" without putting
on an ounce I think it's
fair to say that having an
operation-in itself-is not
the cause for increased
weight.
Whether It's a hysterec-
tony or a gall bladder opera
tion--or having a few teeth
pulled have found that
there is a resultant increased
emotional tension in pa
tients. This is understand
able. And without realizing

"Is 1t too much to ask"
inquiries the owner of an auto
parts warehouse, that young
people be trained to keep
their minds on their work
long enough to complete q
simple task such as filling an
order by removing specified
items from carefully labeled
shelves?"
The warehouse owner
thinks that schools are to
blame for poorly trained
youngsters. But that's only
partly true. The habit Of pay
ing attention to the task one
Is performing should be es-
tablished at home.
The best time for this is
summer. That's because the
formation Of any habit calls
not only for determination
on the part Of the child but
for frequent, individual re-
minders from an adult. And
summer Is the only extended
period during the year when
parents have considerable
