10 A f 1 SV I3ICK WEST Mel Allen Tops Valachi's Diction WASHINGTON (UPI) - The World Series began this week right at a time when the current Senate crime hearings were get ting really interesting. This presented a conflict which I foolishly tried to re solve by keeping up with both at the same time. I spent the day shuttling back and forth between the Senate press gallery, which has a tele vision set, and the Senate cau cus room, where the investiga ting subcommittee was at work. In one place, the attraction was the World Series. In the other, it was a hearing locally known as "sing along with Va lachi." In one place, the Dodgers were murdering the Yankees. In the other, the Cosa Nostras were murdering the Mafias. In one place, Mell Allen, the broadcaster, was giving a play-by-play fcount of baseball-type warfare. In the oth er, Joseph Valachl, the under world informer, was giving a shot-by-shot account of gangland-type warfare. After awhile, this began ot get a little confusing. For in stance, when the Dodgers were at bat in the second inning, a reporter stuck his head in the gallery and asked "Who's on first?" "Lucky Luciano," I replied. WHAT THE TAX BILL WOULD MEAN TO YOU-I (First in a Scries of Ten) The odds are that the massive tax reduction bill will become law by the end of 1963 or early in 1964 with the changes retro active to Jan. 1, 1964. The bill which would give American taxpayers $11 billion in annual tax savings when fully effective in 1965 was passed by the House on Sept. 25. It is now in the Senate and unquestion ably it will be many weeks before the Senate completes its work on the measure and reaches agreement with the House on any differences which may arise. But it's a safe bet that President Kennedy will sign whatever bill Congress finally sends to. the White House. Thus the chance that this bill will become law by Jan. 1 makes it isrporiant for all of us to know two things: (1) Just exactly wnat tax DreaKs coma we expecc lor our selves under the bill? And (2) What should each of us do, or avoid doing, between now and Jan. 1 to make sure that we don't lose out on any tax saving opportunities or get hurt by any new tax pitfalls which may become law on New Year's Day? The widely publicized rate cuts for both individuals and corp orations are only part of the 1963 tax bill. Also in the bill are special provisions creating new kinds of tax breaks which could save far more in taxes for many of us than any of the rate cuts would. Here's one illustration of such a special break. A person over 65 who sells his house at a profit and doesn't buy another might not pay any tax at all on (he profit if lhelli:l bill be comes law. But this could be so only If he sells his house after Dec. 31, 1963. It could not possibly be so If he sells It (luring 1963. This example dramatizes, the type of tax saving information you'll read in this scries. U you are 65 or older and you expect to sell your house at a profit without replacing it, you should know right now that you might save substantial amounts in taxes by postponing your sale until 1964. If you must sell in 1963 because you otherwise would lose a customer or would not get your price, then fine sell in 1963. But there will be thousands ot 65 or older homeowners who can wait to sell in 1964. You cannot be certain that the 1963 tax bill will becom.'! law and thereby make your profit tax-free. No one can guarantee this. But if you can hold off on your sale until 1964, you put your self in a position to get the lax break If the bill docs become law. By selling in the remaining weeks of 1963, you eliminate the possi bility of getting the tax break. The knowledge that the special provision on home sales is in the proposed measure should in fluence your decision. Of course, this series will oxplnin In simplest form how you would save under the rate cuts in the House-passed bill. Even more significant, though. It will explain what Ihe new tax breaks would he and what you should do or nnt dn now In order to qualify for them. The 1963 lax bill also umild rrdurp or cut out certain existing tax breaks. Agnln, ynu mould know what, if anything, you can do In protect yourself iRiiinsl the possible loss ot these tax nrnriMs ami this series will help you on this. The bill passed by the House is more than :UK) pages long. Over the months it was being prepared in the House, so many yes-no-maybe stories were written about it thut yuu're the rare newspaper reader indeed It you have a clear understanding of what its provisions would mean to you. Thus, in this series I will submit the proposed changes most actively affecting tens of millions of us, including changes in capital g.ins, deductions for stale taxes, casually losses, child care expenses, mical expenses, sick pay, the dividend credit and exclusion and group life insurance. Next: The tax rate cuts and Ihe new minimum standard deduction. SAVE 50 OR MORE! ECON-O-CLEAN Professional Dry Cleaning With Coin Operative Economyl 38 lb.

"Gee, I thought 'Three Fin ger Brown' was a coach for the Yankees," I told a colleague. "No, you're thinking of 'Yogi' Berra," he said. If I had to choose between Allen's baseball comenlary and Valachi's crime recita tion, I would be hard pressed. Personally, I thought that Al len had the better diction. He may bobble a word now and then, but he wouldn't be likely to identify a famous New York street as "Pock Avenue," as Valachi did. On the other hand, J would give Valachi the edge over Al len in the matter of phraseolo gy. At one point, the ex-mob ster described a character nam ed Charlie Jones as being sort of businessman. Like he ran crap games." Valachi was definitely weak on geography, however. He tes tified that he had never heard of Omaha, Neb., and that he had traveled from New York to Arkansas by way of Chicago. If Allen can't navigate better than that, he will never make it to Los Angeles in time for the third game. Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicate, Inc.

The French don't want any direction, either, from the Americans. "Scram, boys," says LaBelle France to Uncle Sam, "beat it!" Or, anyway, that is what Pres ident Charles de Gaulle is say ing in the series of speeches he is delivering now. Le Grand Charles spurned further U. S. protection in a speech delivered in the last week of September in Belley.

Le Grand Charles' bold spurn ing of U. S. protection should be had in writing, if possible. And thereafter, the United States should seek some system of collective security in which De Gaulle and France would be left as once proposed to "stew in her own juices." The trouble is that no such collective security without France could be devised, Grench geography and natural endowments being what they are. But if there is any isola tion sentiment in the United States, De Gaulle will keep it alive and growing. ib.59 PORK LOIN ROAST Rib Portion 3-4 lbs.
