OF these Senate probers is that
the sale of the huge airliners
for SIS million and the negotiat-
ing of the $l7 million occurred
within a week of each other.
Foreign aid officials flatly deny
any relationship, but the Nc
Clellan committee, which is in
vestigating the multi billion dol
lar Tx plane contract, isn't
satisfied with these official dis
chalmers Representative
Wright Patman, D-tex, chair
man OF the Banking Committee
is sending a special agent to
Switzerland to uncover possible
new information on the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of SIS mil
lion in negotiable government
bonds from the Federal Reserve
Bank in San Francisco. Patman
launched a three-member sub
committee investigation of this
battling loss, and proposes to
see what can be learned in
Switzerland The subcommittee
reported it doubled the bonds
had been accidentally burned"
as claimed by bank officials.
Two Of the probers left no doubt
they are convinced the bonds
were stolen. Patman agrees with
them. particularly as he has re-
ceived information that several
of the ST million bonds were de-
posted in a numbered bank
account in Switzerland around
the time of the Cuban missile
crisis last fall.

Trustees, Pro and Con


Many readers of this column
have put money III the hands of
trustees of banks or other trus-
tees in favor Of their children
and grandchildren. These trus-
tees have their advantages;
they are careful, honest. and
reasonable in their charges. On
the other hand, they naturally
do not like to buy forest or pas
ture land if it pays no income,
as their fees depend upon the
income from the estate. There
fore, although there are times
When certain Notwithstanding
stocks are really safer than
DoW-Jones gilt-edge stocks, yet
trustees refrain from buying
them because they yield no in
come to the trustees.
The trustees fees, however.
can be so arranged that both
the principal involved and the
income received will be recog-
nized. This is both fairer, and
often safer in the long run, for
the beneficiaries. Never hesitate
to be liberal with the trustees
upon whom your children and
grandchildren are depending.
Therefore, whether you are tax
ing care Of your own fund or
employing a trustee, I urge you
to have some of the money in
vested in forest or pasture land.
Next week l will discuss real
estate; but this is something en-
tirely different from what l am
writing about this week.

Babson Discusses Forest And Pasture Land

BABSON PARK, MASS. June
10 = We have been taught since
childhood mot to put all our
eggs in one BASKET" That. how
ever, was which our parents
knew nothing about stocks and
bonds, but even then made the
mistake sometimes of putting
all their savings in one bank.
Well. the investment future is
just as uncertain now as it was
so years ago.
Forest Lands
Forest lands, like all other in
VeStmentS. have advantages and
disadvantages. Trees grow dur
ing week ends and holidays as
well as any other day of the
year. These trees have no labor
unions and never argue about
wages. Their value depends
upon various factors = such as
the state the forest is in and
also how near it is to transpor-
tatiOn to cutting mill. Hence
the price varies from $40 an
acre to 5000 an acre according
to the location and the length
of time for the growth to ma
ture.
Cutover land with spruce or
pine trees a foot or two high
may be the best investment for
young people, il it is properly
located. However, such trees in
the north are not ready to be
cut or sold for so years. Then
too, we must MT forget the fire
dngerS or wind hazards.

Mr.. Getty's Envy,

Paul Getty, the oil man who makes
$1,000 an hour before taxes, social
security and Fair Share contributions
are taken out, has said in an interview
that he envies small businessmen be-
cause they don't have to work as hard
as multimillonaires.
He defined a small businessman as
someone who makes, say, about $780,
600 year.
We envy them, too.

What Is An American?

HE yells for the government to balance
the budget and then takes the last
dime he has to make the down payment
on his car. He whips the enemy nations
and then gives 'em the shirt off his
back. He yells for speed laws that will
stop fast driving, and then won't buy a
car If it won't make 100 miles an hour.
An American gets scared to death if
we vote billion dollars for education
= but he's cool as cucumber when he
finds out we're spending three billion
dollars a year for smoking tobacco. He
gripes about the high prices of the
things he has to buy, but gripes still
more about the low prices Of things he
has to sell. lie knows the lineup of
every baseball team in the American
and National Leagues - and doesn't
know half the words in "The Spanyled
Banner"
An American will get mad at his wife
for not running their home with the
efficiency of a hotel and then he'll get
mad at the hotel for not operating like
a home. He'll spend half day looking
for vitamin pills to make him live long

An American likes to cuss his govern
ment but gets fighting mad if for
eigner does it.
We're the country that has more food
to eat than any other country in the
world and more diets to keep us from
eating it. We're the most ambitious peo-
pie on earth, and we run from morn
ing until night trying to keep our earn
ing power up with our yearning power
We're supposed to be the most civil
lized Christian nation on earth, but
still can't deliver payrolls without an
armored car.
In America we have more experts on
marriage than any other country in the
world = and more divorces.
But we're still pretty nice folks. Call
ing person "a real American" is the
best compliment we can pay him. Most
OF the world is itching for what we have
= but they'll never have it until thew
start scratching for it the way we did.

Reader SCOTS A.
Railroad Travel Cords
As insufficient

Editor: Your editorial comment
that one cannot travel by rail on
credit cards was essentially cor
rect, and the comment of your
friend who uses a rail travel
card" is slightly misleading.
You can't travel by rail on an
American Express credit card or
on any of the other established
credit cards. There is, to be sure,
the rail travel card to which your
column referred in the August
issue, but how far you might trav-
ell on it is a question. I used the
rail travel card some years ago.
It was honored rather grudgingly
by a few roads, and the number
diminished month by month until
it was hardly worth while. You
were always likely TO be embar-
rassed by a road that did not
honor them. If they have got to-
gether now on a universally ac-
cepted rail card, that's fine. But
they still don't honor other credit
cards, and they are at least 10
years too late on their own, If any.

We have never previously suspected that the

Now that it is revealed by eminent members of the
city council, number of things become more clear.
