Cliff Thrasher, rural fire chief. reports the truck cost $12,000 or iginally, and is exactly the same as the one he cut his teeth on when first starting in the fire fight ing business. The only difference was, the first truck he worked with was made in 1928. However, they look identical, he said.

The hearings are part of a broad SEC study of the entire se curities industry. Much of the in vestigation is being conducted in secret. . Richard H. Paul, chief counsel for the inquiry, cited at the end of Monday's session an SEC study of what happened to those who began installment purchases of Axe-Houghton Fund B, a popu lar mutual fund, three years ago. Paul said 29 per cent who sign ed installment contracts with In vestors Planning Corp. of Amer ica, the Axe-Houghton distributor, had either cashed in their shares or made no monthly payments for at least a year as of last Febru ary. ' Under questioning. President Walter Benedick of Investors Planning estimated that about $30 of every $100 paid by these install ment buyers represented sales charges. This would mean the buy er was paying $30 sales charges for getting $70 in shares, a 40 per cent commission.

The defense talks ranged over such matters as nuclear tests, Berlin, the buildup of Soviet arms in Indonesia, and the Geneva dis armament conference and pre sumably such problems as Laos and South Viet Nam. But apparently Rusk in 10 houri in Canberra heard so much about Australian and New Zealand fears they will lose their preferntial market in Britain for their wool and other products if Britain joins the common market that he felt it necessary to issue the state ment. Rusk said the first talks under the ANZUS defense pact were off to a very good start.
