. Five-Man Probe Team Enroute To Costa Rica To Probe Alleged Invasion Reported Os Revolutionaries WASHINGTON (INS) — A fiveman investigating team representing the American republics flew to strife-torn Costa Rica and Nicaragua today to investigate firsthand the alleged invasion of Costa Jlica by "revolutionaries." Luis Quintanilla of Mexico, the leader of the fact-finding team apcii of the organization of Atneripointed Tuesday night by the councan states, said he was certain 'o’ur task will be relatively easy.” Thetfindings of the committee maybe the prelude to .a formal meeting of American foreign ministers to take action against any aggressor nation. The OSA council actually voted to “convoke" such a “meeting of consultation” of the ministers but left the time and place for such a session in the air. The report of the on-the-spot committee made up of delegates from the U. S.. Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador, and Paraguay, will probably determine whether ‘the ministers will hold a formal conference. The investigators left in a U. S. military plane at 6:25 a.m. (EST) and will probably arrive in Costa Rica late this afternoon. Quintanilla said the team will probably stay in Costa Rica and Nicaragua for "a week or ten days."_ Meanwhile, the Costa Rican government appealed to other Ameri- _ can republics to provide military assistance against what is called an invasion by “Nicaraguan revolutionaries.’’ The statement was made in a telegram to Uruguayan ambassador Jose A. Mora, president of the council of the OAS. from Costa Rican foreign minister Mario A. Esquivel. It was emphasized that the message was merely an ex- ♦ pression of .“hope” and not a for-

Two January Tax Dates For Farmer Some Tax Changes Help For Farmers WASHINGTON (INS) — For most farmers, there are two income tax filing deadlines in January. one of which comes up next Saturday These dates' affect persons whose farm business year begins Jan. 1 and who get At least twothirds of their gross income from farming. Actually, a choice of filing dates Is involved. The farmer can elect to file an estimate of his lax and pay that amount by Jan. 15 and then file a complete return and pay up any balance over and above the estimate by April 15. Or, he can prepare a complete return now' and pay up in full on or before Jan. 31. Farmers whose business years do not begin Jan. 1 have entirely different filing dates and should seek help, if needed, from local internal revenue offices. Any farmer who reaches the age 65 during the taxable year does not have to file unless his gross income for the year amounted to more than $1.2000. Those under 65 must file for gross incomes of S6OO or more, even it no tax is due. 5 Tax law revisions adopted by the 83rd congress last year contain a number of features favorable to farmers. One of the most important. ■r* ; these NTT* of soil’ and water conservation to be deducted as current expenses. This may mean substantial savings tor some farmers-who heretofore have been required to capitalize such expenses. Here are some, but not all, of the things for which expenses are now deductible: Terracing, grading. leveling, eradication of brush, planting of windbreaks, and work on diversion channels, drainage ditches, earthen dams and ponds. The new rule applies to any wx>rk of this sort done since Jan. 1,. 1954. but the deduction in any one tax year is limited to 25 percent of the farmer s gross income for that year. Any expense remaining above that amount may be carried foe? ward to the next tax year when another 25 percent may be claimed, and so on. But a word of caution: Farmers who want to change over to the new way of handling conservation expenses must get prior approval from the internal revenue service. The law now sets out three alternate methods for figuring depreciation —the loss in value over the year of any farm asset through wear, tear and decay. Only one of three methods —the eo-called "straight-line’’ method which most farmers have used — will be discussed here. It prorates the wearing value (the cost less an estimate for salvage) evenly over the number of years the machines, bifildihg or whatever is expected to last. Thus, for example, an asset which originally cost SI,OOO would be written off at a rate of SIOO per year o ver'a Finally, any farmer who shows an operating loss for 1954 may now carry back that loss for two years instead of only one, meaning that it’s now possible to write off a loss over as many as eight years—two past, one current and five in the future.

47 More Powerful Hydrogen Bomb May Be Built Atom Commission Denies Any Limit Is Placed On Size WASHINGTON (INS) — ’ An atomic ehergy eomnilaaion denlak that there is a White House limit' on the size of the hydrogen bomb was interpreted # today to mean that more powerful versions of the H-bomb are being built. While no further comment was forthcoming from the commission, still larger bombs are known to be possible, and there has been steady opposition to any limit that might place the U. S. behind Russia in total destructive power. The denial was voiced by Adm. Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the commission, in an appearance before the National Press Club Tuesday. Asked about President Eisenhower’s statement last spring that H-bombs would be made "no bigger" than they are, Strauss said: "I don’t believe the President said they would be made no bigger. What he said was that we would not be drawn into testing ‘larger and and ever larger' bombs; as a matter of fact, those were his exact words.” Strauss’ reference was to a - White House news conference last April 8 in which the President made several statements, the combined meaning of which has been questioned repeatedly. Discussing the gigantic hydrogen test explosion of last March 1. Mr. Eisenhower said the U. S. has no intention of going into a program of seeing how big these things can. be made. The President mentioned the possibility of a “blowout” —a bomb so big thut most of the force would he wasted in the upper atmosphere—and said he knew of no military requirement that could lead us into production of a bigger bomb than had already been produced. 13 ON BOARD (Continued from Page One) Columbus, O.
