'; ' , , The Agriculture Depart ment, in a review of the na tional food situation, said re tail food prices for the last Half of 1983 are expected to remain, on the average, about the same as they were during the first half. t Retail food prices in ' the f)rst half rose about l'a per cent above those of a year earlier. ' Meat prices, the depart ment said, are not expected to follow last year's strong up turn In the final quarter of the year. Prices of fruits and Vegetables likely will decline seasonally from mid-year but remain above a year earlier, Demand Supported '.The department said gen (rally rising level of business ' expenditures and . consumer incomes in the first half of M03 supported the continued strong demand for food. Food expenditures in 1M2 totaled $73.6 billion, up 3.8 per cent from 1981. For the first half qf 1983, the increase was est ijnated at 3 per cent above a year earlier. I The department said total use of food in 1983 likely wiU rise around 2 per cent from 1962. A small increase in food consumption per capita Is an ticipated. Per capita consump tion of beef In 1983 may be UP 4 per cent, and consump tion of chicken may be up even more. Declines are an ticipated on a per capita basis in consumption of fish, fruit, and eggs. s.;. , DEGREES RECEIVED i Eugene - mro - The Univer sity of Oregon summer grad uation class of 5S9 received degrees at the second annual s(immer commencement exer. cites Saturday. Several of these youngsters had already had a run-in with the juvenile ' authorities. Be cause of several misdemean ors, most of them had been on nrobation a number of times. The attitude of many of them was that of defiance; they were against discipline of any kind, and to them any order from a parent or teacn er was an insufferable insult, An interesting point is that these were .not stupid chil dren; only 10 of them had an IQ below 100. If they had wanted to. they could have graduated from high school The trouble with many was that they read so slowly and poorly that it was no fun as it is for so many very bright children. Children who cannot read easily find school work so uninteresting and boring and difficult that they tend to drop out. As many experts say, al though most of our people are "literate,? in the sense that they CAN read, they read with such difficulty that they can never enjoy even the "funnies," or a movie magazine. They would rather sit on the front porch.' What is sad is that so many of these non-readers can be only day laborers, and they so hale this life' that they soon take up criminal activities the only; , ones that 4 are left to them. ;v:;; Eight of the students who were having troubles needed psychiatric help, and one even needed to be put in a mental hospital. Of each 10 students who dropped out of school three were girls. ' Some of these girls settled down; they got married, and they became good mothers. Five boys who dropped out went Into t'ae Armed Forces and did well; three just sat around at home, doing nothing. One boy who was expelled from school soon had two stretches In jail for felonies. Like most criminals, he refused to see a psychia trist. He could not be bother ed. 111! Influtnsa Virus years ago it was discovered that 'the terrible virus which caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in this country In 1918, died out in human be ings, but it could still be found in swine. The disease kept' flaring up in such ani mals every fall. According to Dr. Richard E. Shope, of the Rockefeller Institute, swine has a "lung-worm" which car ries virus, and the lung-worm gets It from the earth-worms which are eaten by the swine. The farmer is concerned about this because pigs that are af fected by the 1918 Influenza virus cannot be fattened; z per cent of them die, and the pregnant sows abort. Few laymen who are not farmers realize how often a disease which affects us hu man beings keeps living in a "reservoir" In cattle and swine,' or perhaps in some wild animal. For instance; rabies (hydrophobia) is now being kept going by foxes, coyotes, skunks, and bats. INSPECTS EQUIPMENT Soviet Technici- tion system to be installed for use by the an V. A.

(Thit it the tlxth in a tarlet of nlnt trtidet.) - Every business and professional man who has until now deducted club dues as. a business expense is up against brand new deduction headaches. Dues you pay to country clubs, golf clubs, athletic clubs, hunting and fishing clubs in fact to any social or athletic club - must meet two tests in order to be deductible. First, you, the taxpayer, must use the club primarily, meaning more than 30 per cent of the time, for the further ance of your business. Second, if the club is used over SO per cent for your busi ness purposes, you can deduct only that portion of your dues "directly .related" to the active conduct of your business. This is the tough, "directly related'' test for deducting enter tainment expenses which I described in the third column of this series. Basically, the idea is that you have to talk busi ness with your client or customer, not just have a general goodwill discussion, in order to qualify as "directly related." There's one Important exception to this, explained below. Hare's how this rule would work out, assuming you paid S800 in dues to belong to a country club. To deduct any part of the $800, you would have to show that over half the days you utad the club wtra for ordinary and ntcettary business use. Suppose you cm prove (by your diaries and such) that you were at the club SO days during iht ytar and entertained business gutttt on 30 of them. . You meet ttst one. Your records also prove that on IS of the 30 business dtyt, you alto mat the second, "directly related." test. You could lhertfore deduct 2SS0 or one half your club dutt under tha new rules. There Is an exception to the tough rule on deducting club dues, as I said in a previous paragraph, and it is a distinctly liberal exception. If you treat your business associate or customer or client to lunch or dinner in the club's restaurant or dining room, you come under the famous "quiet meal'' rule, which doesn't even require that you actually discuss business at the meal This rule not only entitles you to deduct the cost of the meals and drinks, but it also entitles you to treat the meal as a "directly related" expense for which you can deduct an allo cable portion of your club dues (assuming you use the club more than SO per cent for business over the entire year). While this is a liberal rule, the big catch to it now Is that no one seems to know exactly how to arrive at the portion of the year's dues which should be deductible because of the "dlroctly related meals. . For instance, suppose you wtre at the club only 20 timet during tha year. On 10 of those days, you used it only for a quiet meal with a business associate. On tha other 10 days you not only bad a quiet meal with your attocitle but you also golfed with him. Assume each meal took two hours, and each golfing session two hours. One wty ol figuring how much of your 1800 dutt Is deductiblt tt di rectly reltted would be on a daily basis. This would give you 10 full and 10 halt dtyt at butinttt metlt or IS out of 20 dtyt. entitling you to deduct TS per cent of your S600 annual dutt. Anolhtr wty to figure Is on an hourly basis which would give you 40 meal hours out of a total of SO hours at the club and make only 861) per cent of your club dutt dtductiblt. Unless and until the Treasury speaks out, I suggest that you use the method which will give you the larger deduction. . Dues paid to Kiwanls, Lions, Rotary, Civitan or other business clubs, or to bar. medical or other professional organ izations need not meet the tough new tests for deduction. They continue to be deductible as before, if they qualify as ordinary and necessary business expenses, as they generally will. ' Nexti Wives.

Rus sia will have an identical set, Each pair of master tapes will be used only for one mes sage, and then destroyed. In addition to the land cir cuit there will be a separate radio telegraph circuit - run ning from Washington to Tangier to Moscow. This will be used for service commu nications and as a back-stop in case the main system fails. The U.S. hot line terminal will be in the Pentagon's communications center. If Khrushchev sends a message the first signal will be a ringing of bells. Translators on Hand Moscow to Washington mes sages will be in Russian; Washington to Moscow mes sages in English. Each side will have translators on hand. U.S. officials estimate that, including translation time, a short message could be flashed to President Ken nedy, wherever he is, within minutes. The origins of the hot line are somewhat foggy. -A num ber of private Americans, in cluding a Sunday magazine, have claimed they thought it up. it, --I-- It apparently was first for mally proposed by the Unit ed States to the Russians as one part of an April 18, 1962, U.S. 1 general disarmament plan. The Russians incor porated the idea in a Soviet general disarmament plan July 16, ,1962. The idea lay more or less dormant among other pro posals to reduce the "risk of war" until after the Cuban crisis when the United States again pressed for it. Last April Soviet disarmament ne gotiators at Geneva accepted it in principle. Technical talks were held and the hot line agreement was signed between the United States and Russia.
