BABSON PARK, Mass, June 2. My ideas 00 the international situation have been covered in the last two weeks. I especially refer to the reaction of other countries to the U-2 spy ihcidenl particularly those countries in which we have basesand the subsequent coUm>sc8 of the Summit Confwrence. I now want to suggest what conservative investors will take into consideration in preparing for a continued coldand perhaps a colder war between Russia and tU United States.

What Shoald Be Done AtMvt Equities

With few exceptions, boost investors will think it risky to buy equities at this Itme. Money in the badk will appear to them better just now than stocks or possibly undeveloped real estate. It looks as if Mr. Khrushchev may be calling a turn in the bull market. It is a good time to taks advice from some banker or as investment counselor in whom you have faith. Sensible people will not get panicky and rush either to buy or sell stocks; but will play sale to avoid unnecessary worry. There will be no war this year.

Bonds may be a good purchase, at least they will give good security, perhaps better than good stocks will five. Of course, some people will advise against buying bonds for fear of Inflation. However, I believe that inflation has been anticlpatiKl for the time being by the consid^ able discount at which bonds are selliiur. This discount has primarily been due to the increase in money rates. Thesa higher money rates, liowcver, have been largely offset by the discount at which many good bonds are selling. 0 jow hnve* any doubts, compare tielf current yields with the yields on good stocks.

Its president. Dr. Nelson Glueck, besides being a rabbi is one of the worlds fomiost ar-cheologists whose work in the Negev has proved the authenticity of place names and therefore historic detail in the Old Testament. His recent book, Rivers in the Desert. is a mangificent study of the Negev which is so vital an area in current history. Born in Cincinnati, Dr, Blueck this year celebrated his 60th birthday. The discoverer of King Solomons copper mines and Solomons port on the Red Sea. Ezion-geber, sealed for almost 2.500 years, he has been able to restore respect for the Bible as an historic document.

A man of a varied career, Dr. Glueck studied at the universities of Cincmrtati, Berlin, Heidelberg and Jena and at the American School or Oriental Research in Palestine. During World War II, he was a field agent for the OSS in the Near East, working among the Arabs,

Dr. Gluecks work in archeology is particularly interesting at this time when the ancient Biblical land is in the news every day. Almost like a detective, this American scholar has followed Biblical place names to establish where they actually were. He worked out the geographical extent of the kingdoms of Edom, Moab and Ammon and has established who were the Nabataeans. one of the most remarkable of post-Blblical peoples.

Taking such a sentence from Deuteronomy 8:7 and 9: For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land. . a land whose stones are* iron, and out of whose hills . thou maycst dig brass. Dr. Glueck went a-searching. At Tlnana, he found the site of the iblical mines and today the copper industry is being revived. Of this Dr. Glueck said:

I have always gone on the as.sumplion that the historical statements in the Bible are true. On that basis I have made some of my most important finds.

This American has now devoted 30 of his 60 years to proving by the most modern scientific means that tiie land which God promised to Abraham was as promised. Dr. Glueck describes one period:

The next period of civilized settlement in the Negev is that of Iron II. extending from the 10th to the 6th centuHes B.C. The land was dotted then with fortresses on strategic hilltops, and with agricultural villages usually on the slopes below them. Their inhabitants tilled strongly terraced fields generally in or alongside wadis or dry stream beds, dug cisterns, many of them still in use by modern Bedouins, and engaged also in extensive pastoral, commercial and industrial activities. These included tending their flocks and herds of domestic animals, trading with Egypt and Arabia, mining and smelting mainly copper found In and alongside the Wadi Aravah, and refining it and manufacturing it into finished copper articles. .

The Reform Jewish seminary which will be established in Jerusalem is part of a group of such schools at Cincinnati, New York and Lost Angeles. Jews regard the establishment of the Israeli seminary as a sign of the maturity of American Judaism.

One of the principal misfortunes of the Jews is that throughout the centuries large numbers in each generation lapse from the traditions and habits of their ancestors. Whereas tl^ey dislike being old-fashioned. they take on no new-fashion. They become spiritually and morally rootless. Reform Judaism meets this conflict of the ages by retaining the essence of Jewish tradition and yet making ritual and philosophy acceptable to new times. Reform Judaism is now maturely branching out. Judaism is in itself traditional in the sense that it is flexible except in its essence which is the absolute monotheism of the concept of God and in its ln.sl.s-tcncc upon a spiritual rather than an ethnological concept of the Jew.

(Rocky MouDt Telegram)

Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, now in California with Sens. John Kennedy and Stuart Symington, has quietly but steadily been laying the groundwork for his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. His six-state Western campaign tour has un-questionabb^ raised his status as a contender. Whether he has garnered a sighiflcant number of convention delegates is doubtful, but it is clear he has done himself no harm, and possibly a great deal of good.

Johnson is a moderate, and as such appeals to a great many factions in the Democratic party, factions that fear such candidates as the Humphreys, the Morses, the Kennedys. Uncommitted delegates exposed to his personality and soft-sell technique are now more likely to remain uncommitted until the convention opens July 11. This Western tour is the first of a series the Texas senator plans, mainly on the weekends, as an open though still unannounced candidate for the nomination.

The picture the Democratic Senate rrknjorlty leader is trying to project, apparently with great success, Is cleary intended to contrast with his major rival, Sen. Kennedy. It is primarily one of a proven national leader, mature and experienced, who places his countrys welfare

above partisanship and personal ambition. It is also that of a down-to-earth, practical politician who can dicker, deal, exchange stories and win elections with the best of them.

Against a background of national crisis provided by the summit collapse Johnson has been sharpening the contrast. His basic line is that the Democratic party is going to nominate the best qualified, most experienced. best equipped, ablest and most dedicated servant available. There has been the implication that Kennedy was advocating a softer attitude toward Russia when he suggested that President Eisenhower should at least send regrets over the U-2 incident.

Johnson made the most of that implication by advocating a no-apology stand toward Khrushchev. Johnson consistently avoids criticism of the administrations handling of the spy episode. He pledged a thorough, nonpartisan probe of the case by the Foreign Relations Committee. Sometimes referring to Eisenhower as my .President, Sen. Johnson will shout: I am not going to play petty politics with the future of the world and my little girls. He needs all the help he can get right now. He is the only man who can deal with Mr, Khrushchev as our spokesman. '

Strength For Today

By EARL L. DOUGLASS LEADERS KEEP COMING ON

And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

What a mournful circumstance their passing must have been to the Hebrew! Their good friend at court was no more. Those who had led the nation had gone the way of all flesh.

But the Hebrews, after the death of Joseph and his brethren, were to experience the greatest expansion 1 the history of the nation. Thy were fruitful, as the Hebrews have always been. They increased and multiplied abundantly. and true to their energetic nature, they waxed exceeding mighty. . .They soon overflowed the little land of Goshen. With increased food and better living conditions, the birth rate increased and the mortality rate dropped.

At first they were only shepherds: but as time went on they no doubt spread to the uttermost boundaries of Egypt, establishing themselves in every village ax merchants and businessmen.

All this, of course, was in the providence (R God. He was training the descendants of Alxa-ham so that through them the world might be blessed.

The death of Joseph and his breathrcn, tragic as their passing must have seemed to their contemporaries, clet^d the* stage for new beginnings. We can! be sure that God causes the old . to die in order that the new may grow.

When Joseph died, the tribe died; but at that moment also the nation was bom. Gods promise to Abraham was now being fulfilled in larger measure.

rip For Some State Legislators

By ELMER ORESSNER

Unless you live in Maine or Pennsylvania, your state legislators could save you some tax money if they wei-e a Ijttle more diligentor smarter.

Federal income tax laws permit taxpayers to deduct taxes paid states and subdivisions. There are two limitations:

1. If taxpayers take the standard deduction, they Cannot take (ieductlons for state and local taxes.

2. Taxpayers cannot take state and local tax deductions unless the law specifies that the tax is levied on the consumer.

. If you live in, for instance, Illinois, both spirits and cigarettes carry state taxes... The law says the dealer must pay them, and dealers naturally add them to their prices. So the consumer really pays them. But because, technically, the dealer is the one taxed, he can deduct the tax as a business expense. Joe Slobb, the consumer who actually pays them, gets no deduction. He wasnt, says M Xoteinal Revenue Service,

the taxpayer. He merely paid a higher price to cover the tax.

OTHER STATES,

OTHER RULES

But If you live in Massachusetts, you can deduct taxes paid on spirits and cigarettes because the wording of the law levies them on consumers, not retailers.

At present, ten states levy their liquor taxes on consumers. The tenth was Oklahoma, which left the prohiblti'n fold only last yeat^,. But when it did, it put this clause in its law: The excise tax levied by this act is hereby declared and in-' tended to be a direct tax on the 'ultimate retail consumer of alcoholic beverages In this state, and when such tax is paid by. or collected from, any other person, as herein provided for, such payments shall be con.:ldered as an advance payment for convenience and facility onL. and such tax shall thereafter be added to the price of such alcoholic heverages and recovered from the ultimate re

tail consumer thereof. The IRS, in Rev. Rul. 60-166, accepted this clause as making the tax deductible by the consumer, not the vendor.

THE LUCKY AMERICANS The Prentice - Hall tax service lists these states, in addition to Oklahoma, as those In which (jonsumers can deduct taxes on spirits;

Alabama. Maine. Massachusetts, Michigan. North Carolina. Pensylvania, Utah, Vermont and Washington.

It lists these states as applying cigarette taxes on the smoker Instead of the vendor: Connecticut, Florida, Maine. Massachusetts. Mississippi,

New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma. Penn-South Dakota.

If you live in states other than Maine, Massachusetts. Oklahoma or Pennsylvania, you can save tax money If your state will declare both whiskey and cigarette taxes applicable to the consumerassuming you or your dependents smoke or drink. It wont cost the state

a cent!

So write to state senators and representatives * ow and urge them to get off that IRS hook. A simple amendment to your state tax low is all that is needed. WrttF to your governor, your attorney general, and the political boss who runs the state. Write to your local political leaders, and to any politicians who pop up their heads. If* you want .to write, clip this column and send it to your state representative, fiist writing on the mai-gln: Im tired of being a tax patsy. Get busy! Sign your name and address.
