lection against initiation as well
as deflation. Because real es-
tate is so commonly associated
with initiation protection, it
might be well to lead off with a
discussion of LAND TRUSTS.
Real Estate Trusts
The better quality land COM
panies have several advantages:
% While some Of the older
companies originally garnered
their land for agricultural pur-
poses, in recent years the dis
covery Of minerals has introduc-
a kicker" to companies of
this type. 90 There is usually
a basic source OF earnings in
the form of surface leases, wat
er, water rights, etc. 49, These
companies operate with little in
the way of plant and equipment

other operating costs are at a

Land trusts is KERN COUNTY

fornia, New Mexico, and Ari-

opment of oil and gas proper

ana and Mississippi, and even
Australia.
Another large land company
is TEXAS PACIFIC LAND

company transferred to TIKI

Mining issues provide another
hedge against initiation. In a
sort Of underground bank de-
posts. Improved mining tech1i-
ques, development of machin-
cry capable Of massive ore ex-
traction. and new methods Of up
grading ore quality help to offset
effects Of rising labor costs. Best
investments are in companies
with large ore reserves and un-
developed acreage.

ROME, Jan. IA (AP).-The
Italian Socialist Party's central
committee has voted down a
pro- Communist move that
would have overthrown Pre-
mier Amintore Fanfani's coali-
ton government on the eve Of
his departure tomorrow for
talks with President Kennedy.
The committee voted. 45-35,
yesterday to continue backing
Mr.. Fanfani until general elec-
tons which must be held by
the end Of May. The party's
pro- Communists demanded an
immediate break with the Pre-
mier. The demand for parlia-
mentary opposition to Mr..
Fanfani would have put the
Socialists behind a no-confi-
dence motion that Italy's Com
munist Party was expected TO
draft.
The Socialist support for Mr..
Fanfani, which followed three
days Of debate. was qualified
by sharp criticism Of his
Christian Democrat Party's de-
lay in passing Socialist-baeked
legislation to create regional
governments in parts Of Italy.
Right-Wing Christian Demo-
Gratis fear the Socialists will
again support their former
allies, the Communists. for a
Leftist capture Of power in
some regions.
Socialist Chief Pietro Nenni
accused the Christian Demo-
crat command OF violating their
agreement with the Socialists,
playing into rieht-wing hands
and interrupting the program
Of the coalition government.
The winning motion said,
however. that the Fanfani re-
gime should be retained because
II still has "the task OF full
fillment OF democratic guar
antees for the election and
bringing about the parliament
tary approval Of legislation now
pending"
The Socialists qualified sup
port for Mr.. Fanfani and the
attack on his party was seen
as an indirect warning that
the Premier should be careful
In his talks with Mr.. Kennedy.
The Socialists are neutralists
and opposed 10 the North At
lantic Treaty Organization 10

BY DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Many an older executive
can take a lesson from the
young man in the rocking
chair at the White House. No
man is better known for his
preachments Of physical fit
ness; yet no man has ever so
philosophically resigned him
self to physical inactivity as
President Kennedy.
He is an integral part of
that rocker when he graces
it. For a time, at least, it
seems that touch football,
golf and other active involve
ments are not to be a regu-
lar part Of his daily sched-
ule. 1t requires grit and res
ignation for such a normally
active man to accept physical
inactivity-yet 1 think that
our country is the gamer.
For years I have been ad-
vocating the rocking chair for
middle-aged athletes who go
running off in all directions
to keep fit. I have been say
ing that after 40 it makes
more sense to conserve heart
beats than to spend them like
a profligate.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario,
Jan. IA (AP).-A wax figure of

cause it would cost an "astro-
nomical" $4,000 to outfit him
for a wax museum here.
Hes sitting unclothed in a

A wax figure OF Yuri Gagar-
in, Russian astronaut who be-
came the first man in space

display beside one OF Soviet
Premier Khrushchev six
months after Mai. Gagarin's
flight. The Russian govern
ment supplied a copy Of Mai

request through the British

But, Mr.. MacTaggart said,
when the museum tried TO get
a space suit for Col. Glenn's
figure II was told by the
American Government TO see
the manufacturer. The COM

Wealth, Sorrow
Reside Together

The home is old and big
and it graces a rich area in
Chicago. The stones are now
flecked with green. The big
bay windows glitter blindy
before white lace curtains.
Behind them sits Selma, an
aging lady with custard skin
and eyes of deep blue. The
eyes are important because,
under the heavy folds of the
upper lids, the expression is
one of hurt.
She has money. She has
servants. She has a shiny
Brewster car and a chauf-
feur. She has friends and two
choice seats at the opera.
She is also alone. So alone
that, when a letter comes to
the house-even though it
is only soliciting funds for a
distant mission-Selma reads
it over and over because
there is nothing better to do.
Once, she was young and
beautiful - truly beautiful -
and she starred in operet-
tas. Handsome men, rich
men, pressed around Selma
so closely that she could not
see beyond them. She picked
and culled and chose and, in
time, married Paul. He was
older than the others, but
he had stature as an in
dustrial tycoon, and he had
character.
There should be no more
than that. The story should
end there. Instead, it begins
there. Selma dropped her
career and moved. to
Chicago. She eased grace
fully into the role of lady
of the manor. She made new
friends, acted as hostess at
charity bazaars, sponsored
an orphanage, and, on quiet
evenings, sat at a grand
piano and sang for Paul.
AS TIME MOVED on,
Selma became fretful. She
wanted children. There were
none. Medical science could
not help. Selma became in
creasingly nervous. Paul
blamed himself. Selma
blamed herself. She got in
the habit Of stopping in
churches on her daily rounds
to pray for one baby. Just
one.
