Long-Awaited Tax Break To Business

WASHINGTON (UP!)—The government today hands businessmen a long-awaited $1.2 billion tax break in the form of new depreciation schedules for their equipment. It will be the first total revision of tax, depreciation schedules since 1942, covering everything from supermarket pushcarts and dairy cows to office typewriters and electronic computers. The new schedules, a big break for practically every firm, business and professional man and farmer in the country, will be announced by the Treasury at 6:30 p.m. EDT. The schedules are the yardstick that businessmen use to figure how much money they can deduct each year from their taxable income for wear and tear on their machinery and other equipment until the total amount they have deducted amounts to what the equipment costs new. The administration, seeking to give business an economic shot in the arm and help it meet foreign competition, plans to shorten the periods of time it takes for equipment to be totally depreciated. For instance, if a piece of OH,MY ACHING BACK Now!

equipment when new was worth $5,000, it might take a businessman under the old schedules 20 years to deduct a total of $5,000 for it. Under the new schedules, he might be able to write off the same piece of equipment in 15 years. President .Kennedy said at a news conference June 7 that the revisions in the depreciation schedule will “make over $1 billion in added cash reserves available for additional business investment.” Kennedy was expected to issue a statement to accompany the announcement of the new schedules. Kennedy has said the depreciation schedule revisions, plus the administration’s proposed tax credits to invite more business investment, would amount to a total $2.5 billion tax break for business. The legislation embodying the other proposals has passed the House but is bogged down in the Senate Finance Committee. Addition Planned For Berne Plant DETROIT, Mich. — Mclntosh, Inc., designers and manufacturers of heavy-gage pressed metal parts plans to make a 3,600 square foot addition to its Berne division plant, Berne. Ind., it was announced here today by Lester A. Mclntosh, president. Contract for the project has been awarded to David Poor company, general contractors, Warsaw, Ind. The addition is expected to be completed about Sept. 1, he said. Mclntosh’s Berne plant, a singlestory structure built late last year and put into operation in April, produces heavy-gage electrical components for automotive and other uses.

Two Integration Leaders In Jail ALBANY, Ga. (UPD— Martin Luther King Jr. and a fellow Negro minister today were expected to break a 24-hour jail fast designed to “purify their spirits” to face 45 days of imprisonment. King and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy began the fast Tuesday after they were jailed on charges of “parading without a permit” during a Negro anti-segregation march here last December. The two integration leaders from Atlanta said they preferred to serve jail sentences rather than pay $l7B in fines. Two other Negroes among the 738 arrested during the preracial demonstrations also were haled into court Tuesday. Solomon Walker, publicity man for the Negro “Albany Movement,” was fined SIOO or 30 days in jail and Eddie Jackson, another member of the movement had a choice of paying $25 or spending 10 days in jal. Walker Appeals Sentence Jacfcson deeded to “serve time” with King and Abernathy but Walker said he would appeal the sentence. He was jailed pending the necessary steps to free him. v . Recorder’s Court Judge A. N. Durden said the remaining 734 cases would be tried at a later date. He said stiffer sentences were meted out to King and Abernathy because they were considered leaders of the demonstrations designed to force the lowering of racial barriers in this south Georgia city. King said he felt he was guilty of no crime. Peaceful protest, he told the judge, is part of the American tradition. “Street Detail” Work Police Chief Laurie Pritchett said King, Abernathy and Jackson would be assigned to a “street detail”—either cleaning up the jail or working on city streets. Wyatt Tee Walker, executive assistant to King in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,

telegraphed Atty. Geh. Robert F. Kennedy, asking “adequate protection" for King and Abernathy. "Hoodlum elements in the community have indicated harassment" of the two when they appear on work gangs, Walker said. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller also sent Robert Kennedy a telegram calling for the Justice Department to “take immediate steps” to assure the safety of King and Abernathy. Three Persons Die In Slate Traffic By United Press International Three persons were killed in Indiana traffic accidents Tuesday, hiking the 1962 state-wide toll to at least 565, compared with 496 a year ago. State Police said Charles Weaver, 65, Wheatland, was killed Tuesday night when he ran a stop sign at the intersection of two county roads near Vincennes and his car was hit broadside by another vehicle. Five persons in the second car were injured and hospitalized. A teen-age boy from Columbia City was injured fatally in a truck accident. Police said Stephen Joe Simmons, 13, died several minutes after the truck in which he was riding went out of control, crashed into a utility pole and turned over four miles southwest of Columbia City. The driver of the truck, Joyce Ann Hull, 16, Columbia City, escaped unhurt. Earlier, Deen Decker, about 80, Patoka, was killed when he was U. S. 41 north of his home. The struck by a car as he crossed driver was Eugene R. Cantwell, 34, Clairmont, Fla. Cantwell told police he swerved to avoid the pedestrian, but his car went into a skid and overturned after hitting the man.

Worldwide Live TV Is Now Feasible WASHINGTON (UPI) — Now it's just a matter of time. There are some who say transatlantic telephone, telegraph, and television via spacecraft will be a paying proposition in two to four years. . There are some who say that by the turn Os the century the total cost of space exploration to the limits of the solar system will be -repaid by a single source of revenue — the taxes on satellite communication systems blanketing the entire earth. By that time, according to the optimists, the space radio and television industry will be grossing SIOO billion a year. That, of course, sounds like fantasy. But suppose this was 1952 instead of 1962. Suppose someone said it would be possible one day to toss some electronic signals 3,000 miles into space from one side of the Atlantic and have them come down on the other side as vivid pictures and moving voices. The fantasy of 10 years ago is the reality of today, and there is no reason to doubt that the fantasy of today will be the reality of some tomorrow. For 37 minutes Tuesday night, a 170-pound “microwave tower fir the sky” named Telstar relayed a television program that was seen and heard in American homes and picked up in part by ground stations in France and England. It was the first transatlantic telev isi on broadcast by the world’s first transmitting communication satellite. It demonstrated beyond any doubt that worldwide live television is feasible. It also demonstrated beyond any doubt that space communication is an established fact. Now, as the scientists say, it is just a matter of engineering, and politics. 6 . First Lady Figurine Is Now In Museum By HELEN THOMAS United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Jacqueline Kennedy’s figurine has finally taken its rightful place next to the President in a special spot at the Washington Wax Museum of History. Believe it or not, the first lady’s wax figure was kept in a backroom at the museum covered with cheesecloth for months for lack of something to wear. Museum officials had approached Mrs. Kennedy’s No. 1 designer to donate a “typical Jackie” dress for the wax sculpture of the President’s wife, but he demurred on grounds that the White House would have to be consulted. The White House declined to come across with a first lady outfit because the museum is a “commercial enterprise.” But Dior of New York rose to the occasion. The shop donated a pastel green suit with a slim skirt and a boxy jacket for the first lady’s wax figure. Thus the first lady—who has been more or less forced to buy American fashions—in wax, at least, is wearing a Parisian inspired costume. Museum Director Earl Dorfman says the two Kennedy children, Caroline, 4, and John Jr., 19 months, would be too extravagant to do up in wax for a family portrait. They are growing too fast, he explains. The museum, incidentally, gets many letters complaining that President Kennedy’s dark blue suit is not "Brooks Brothers" enough. Letter writers also gripe that the figure looks much older than the President. But Dorfman philosophically points out “everyone looks older in wax.” Charge Decatur Man Passed Bad Check Arthur Bernard Ortt, of Decatur, entered a plea of not guilty in Van Wert, O. t municipal court by counsel C. B. Thornton to a charge of issuing a fraudlent check Monday. He was bound over to the court of common pleas and has been released on SSOO bond. The charge was filed by Robert Werts.

Foreign Students Cheer President

WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Kennedy was pushed, shoved, and overwhelmed in his own backyard today by an enthusiastic crowd of more than 2,000 foreign students. The President has moved into many mobs before but witnesses to the scene said it was the first time he seemed to be perturbed and somewhat annoyed by being engulfed. At least one girl fainted. Others were nearly trampled upon. And hundreds were (jammed togther in a suffocating mass when the Prsident, in a friendly gesture, moved toward the roped - off crowd of admiring students. The students sat on the lawn in disciplied fashion during a speech delivered by the President from a wooden platform. They gave him roaring applause at intervals. The mob scene broke out and the ropes went down when Kennedy walked toward them after the speech. Several students were hurt slightly in the melee. White House policemen escorted the President back to the White House. The south lawn was a paperstrewn shambles. _ The students’ visit was the wind-up of a three-week tour before departing for their homes in 50 countries.

In his speech, Kennedy told the students he hoped they would attempt to' understand the American people and their ideals — “where we are, where we have been and where we want to be.” He told them that he hoped they would serve “as a bridge between your own country and the United States. I’m glad you have come to the United States and taken a look at us.” The, students, all high school seniors, are sponsored by the American Field Service, a private educational organization that is dedicated to improving understanding and friendship among peoples of the world. The students spent the last year studying in American schools and living with American families. Gary Mayor Trial Set For November HAMMOND, Ind. (UPI) — Federal Judge Robert A. Grant Tuesday set Nov. 13 for the trial of Gary Mayor George Chacharis on income tax counts. > In setting the trial date, Grant rejected objections to indictments brought by Lake County political figures.
