Tax Easing Sought
To Get Farmers
To Release Wheat
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. .
Farmer Cooperative marketing
associations were reported today
to be seeking government approv
al of a plan designed to induce
farmers to turn loose wheat they
are now holding off the mar-
net.
Farmer resistance to releasing
the wheat now is based on (ll
the wish to avoid adding to in
come tox liability for this year
and (2) hope that prices will go
higher later.
One government official said
the plan advanced bv the eo-oos
calls for:
1. Farmers to turn over their
wheat to co-ops In return for a
certificate calling for payment
next year.
2. The co-oos to sell the wheat
and invest the proceeds in wheat
futures contracts calling for de
livery at specified future date
lor wnicn tne co-ops would
get money next year to reim
burse the farmers. ,
Current and future wheat pri
ces are pretty close together at
about $3 a bushel. If prices were
higher when deliveries were due
under the futures contracts, the
co-ops would get the benefit of
tne advance ana pass it ion to the
farmers. The plan assumes that
prices will not fall by delivery
time.
Backers of the plan bope that
the internal revenue bureau will
rule that the deal counts on the
farmer's 1948 instead of his 1947
income. This would keep him
out of a higher tax bracket this
year and give him the benefit
of any tax reduction by congress
on 1948 income.
The bureau has the question
under consideration, but an offi
cial said no decision has been
reached.
Shanley Is thinking In terms of
millions of years. I
His view is that creation may
be slowly dying of "negative
gravitation" a cosmic force
which already has caused many
distant gluxies (star systems) to
fly apart.
"At the same time," Shapley
said in the annual report of the
Smithsonian Institution, "through
the operation of the laws of
thermodynar..ics, the heat of the
stars Is going out Into the cold
ness of space.
"The universe Is slradily ap
