Ceylon Leader Hopes To Ease World Tension John Kotelowala Speaks On Coming Asian Conference WASHINGTON (INS) — Ceylon’s Premier Sir John Kotelawala said today the 30 nation Afro-As-Jan conference would do "its best Unease world tensions." In a written reply to a series of questions, Sir John said he could not anticipate exactly what will happen on the issue of "coexistence" because both the agenda and procedures will be "left for decision by the conference itself." However, he replied there was "no doubt" the conclave starting April 18 in Indonesia would act to improve "peace and good relations." He said: "Moscow and Washington must realize that there are others, too, in the world and that the main concern of these others is peace." Asked for his view on the major objectives of the conference, which will bring together leaders of more than half the world’s population, Sir John cited the four points outlined in the original communique

bn the Indonesia meeting. These cover: 1. Goodwill and cooperation among the Aslan-African nations to advance "their mutual as well as common interests." 2. Consideration of general social, economic and cultural problems. 3. Discussion of problems of special interest, such as those affecting "national sovereignty, racialism and colonialism." 4. A study of what the member nations can contribute to world peace. Asked if the Chinese Communists would be able to distort the gathering to the advantage of Conu munism, Sir John said: "I do not see any reason for this belief. China will be only one out of 30 countries that are expected, and surely the large number of Democratic countries can be trusted to look after themselves.” Questioned on what could prevent the conference from developing into An alignment against the rest of the free world under proCommunist slogans of anti-colon-ialism and anti-imperialism, he replied : “This question would seem to assume that if anyone spoke of anti-colonialism and anti-imperial-ism he must be counted as a supporter of Communism. The question must answer itself.” The very fact that Communist China was invited has evoked wide-spread speculation and some Criticism in the West. Sir John’s answer to why the Communist

He called "absurd” any assumption the conference is fundament* ally a "search for political ana international solidarity by the nonwestern races of the world." To emphasize thia point he replied with a flat "no” to the question whether the Indonesian gathering would encourage the formation of a "third force" in world politics.

invited, but not Israel? A. Because if Israel were invited the Arab nations would not have come, and that would have meant several absenting themselves from the conference as against one. Q. Why were Vietnam and Vietminh invited, but not the Republic of Korea? A. Because Korea' insists on being one, and there is no unified Korea yet. Vietnam and Vietminh are, at the moment, two distinct entities. Q. What common denominators can be expected to unity the invited nations? A. The nations that will assemble for the Afro-Asian conference

are nations that have suffered In the past and have a future to build up. Silence Sought BEMENT, 111., (INS) — The National Arts Foundation says quiet is a precious item in American life. Carleton Smith of Bement, 111., head of the Foundation, has Issued this appeal to jukebox record distributors: "Place a blank disk in jukeboxes to permit customers to buy 10 cents worth of silence. Quiet is still the most expensive item in an American’s daily life, and one that is greatly needed for inner peace of mind."

Rules Tax Payment Spread To Papers Spread Payment On Subscription Fees DENVER (INS) — The Tenth U. S. circuit court of appeals in Denver ruled that a newspaper which sells prepaid subscriptions covering a five-year period may spread income tax payments on the subscription fees over the entire five yean. 2-1 Decision The 2-1 circuit court decision was handed down recently in a case appealed by the Beacon Publishing Company — publishers of the Wichita, Kas., Beacon '■ — from federal tax court in Washington, D. C. The tax court had ruled that the “claim of right" tax theory that the tax on the subscription fees must all be paid in the ’year 4n which it was collected. The “claim of right" theory provides for payment of income tax for all funds received during a taxable year which the taxpayer claims he has a right to use without restriction. The Wichita Beacon case began in 1942 when the newspaper began Belling five-year subscriptions to obtain additional working capital. In 1943, an accounting firm, preparing the newspaper’s tax statement, * deducted $95,688 as “prepaid subscriptions” and in the following year credited the prepaid fund as a liability, less the amount actually taken out for payment during the taxable year. The tax commissioner disallowed the claim and the matter went to the federal tax court in Washington, where the commissioner was upheld. The circuit court, in reversing the tax court, said: "The single question presented by the petition to review a decision of the tax court is whether sums received for prepaid newspaper subscriptions should have been Included in the taxpayer’s in-

come for the year in which they were received or spread over uncompleted subscription periods.” The court ruled that the newspaper could spread its income tax over the five year period because the publishing firm kept its books on an accrual basis. The court pointed out that under the accrual basis, the income tax is paid whenever the amount in question is earned, regardless of when it is actually paid. The ruling pointed out that the accrual method, as applied in the case of the Beacon, showed clearly that only a portion of the in-
