rui ii le) fo)fn IfQUV 1 m(o In The- Day's Mm By FRANK JENKINS Business note from Korea: A Kentucky congressman (his name Is Chelf) has just registered a vigorous complaint about the taxes South Korea levies on U.S. business men operating in that na tion. In a letter to President Syng man Rhee. Chelf savr smith Ko rea's tax structure is highly dis criminatory. The American chamber of com merce in Seoul (South Korea's capital) says that as of now some 41 Americans are being denied EXIT PERMITS which means that they are being held in the country against their will because of a dispute over taxes. Well, that's war for you. About the only rule that can be deduced from modem war is that when It's ovii- yo-r allies will turn out to be your erj'wies and your enemies, as like as not, will be come your buddies. With a few outstanding excep tions, war always has been fool ish and unprofitable, but MOD ERN war Is beginning to border on the absurd. Heads of the big stock exchanges at New York, Chicago, Los An geles, San Francisco and Montreal, meeting at Vancouver, in the state ol Washington, offer some good advice FOR FREE to the average investor. .. They say: ' The man of average means with some money to invest should concentrate on INVESTMENT and not on speculation." They acid: 'Such an Investor should forget 'U about the fast killings, because there is no easy way to riches on the stock market." Their general advice to the av erage man seeking a short cut to a fortune on a $5,000 investment can be boiled down into two words WATCH OUTI The stock exchange heads are talSing to us little people. They could RAISE THEIR SIGHTS and still be within the facts. In the gambling city of Monte Carlo, capital of the tiny gamb ling principality of Monaco, down on the French Riviera, the biggest bank In town closed its doors the other day, throwing the whole postage-stamp - size nation into a fi nancial crisis. It happened like this: A little while back the bank's upper brass, seeking ft short cut to wealth, PLUNGED on television stocks. When the stooks slumped Instead of soaring, cagey deposi tors hastened to the bank and With drew their money. That stopped the clock. There's on odd little lesson In this particular incident. This bank that gambled heavily on long shot stocks (and guessed wrong) is located in an area that lives on gambling. Its upper brass caught the fever. In the end, they were taken for a ride Just like the veriest sucker who goes to Monte Carlo (or Las Vegas) with the idea of getting rich quick with little effort. . That's the trouble with gambling as a short cut to riches. You can play penny ante and nickel limit FOR FUN and get away with it as long as it is pure lun and stays penny ante. But when vou get to thinking of gamb ling as REAL MONEY you're headed for trouble. Whenever some gambler wins, pome other gambler loses. It's dif ferent in the case of legitimate business. In legitimate business, BOTH SIDES can profit from a sound deal. That's what the heads of the big stock exchanges, gathered up in Vancouver, are trying to tell us. Fair Hears Readiness SALEM W The finishing touches were being applied by a small army of workmen Friday to Oregon's "Gay Nineties" state fair which opens Saturday morning for a 10-day run. This 90th anniversary version of the fair, however, will be far dif ferent from the 1890 version which its decorations will symbolize. Steers developed through genera tions of breeding will compete in the Western Aberdeen Angus breeders futurity to be judged Sunday and Monday. It is the first time the event has been presented in the Northwest. Farmers of the '90s would not know the uses of the 1955-model farm machines that fill an entire exhibit section on the west side of the fairgrounds. The state fair's expanded garden show no lonzer displays its blooms In fruit-jar vases. The flowers now are presented in their natural set tines with a series of patio an garden "scenes" into which the flowers are woven. Today's "queen of the kitchen" contestants in the food show, amid their maze of kitchen machinery, resemble their forebears of the nineties only in the smells and tastes of their products. Perhaps the hardest thing for an 1890's fairuocr to grasp would be how a chimpanzee can be the star of the nightly stage revue. "Zippy," star of many television shows, will head the Heler.e Hushes revue with Its variety acts rd a line of choru girls which, again, is a far cry from the 1890 version, I Auto Strike Ends.A'' Settlement DETROIT im American Mo tors Corp. Friday became the first of the "Little Three" in the auto industry to settle with the CIO United Auto Workers on the "Big Three" contract pattern. The set tlement ended a strike called by the union at midnight Thursday. The American Motors settlement differed in one major respect -with those reached, with the Big Three General Motors. Ford and Chrys ler. AMC's layoff pay plan will not be put into operation until a year after the others. The company will start paying into a trust fund Sept. 15, 1956, and benefits will not become avail able until a year after that. Bene fits become effective at the Big Three next June 1. WANTS COJIPANV SUCCESS UAW Vice President Leonard Woodcock said the union agreed to the year's delay in an effort to make American Motors "a perma nent success in the auto industry" and to help a group of 3,000 dis placed former Hudson Motor Car Co. employes in Detroit. American Motors was ' formed last year by merger of Nash-Kel-vinator Corp. and Hudson. Woodcock mentioned the com pany's "economic problems attend ant on the merger" and said the UAW wanted to "help American Motors meet these problems." Edward L. Cushman, American Motors vice president, said his company had been paying more than the going rates in the auto industry and had asked the un ion to "bargain on the economic facts of American Motors Corp." 14 CENTS AN HOUR Woodcock said the layoff pay plan, wage increases and other benefits in the new American Mo tors agreement constitute a 14 cent an hour package for the first year of the three-year pact. This includes a flat wage boost of six to eight cents an hour for all em ployes. Additional six-cent raises will be given in 1956 and 1957. The UAW previously had esti mated the value of the Ford, Gen eral Motors and Chrysler pack ages in excess of 20 cents an hour the first year. The agreement came about eight hours after a midnight strike dead line saw the start of walkouts at American Motors' seven plants in three states which eventually would have involved all of AMC's 24,000 workers. OTHER LITTLE THREE , - The UAW ' still has not settled with the other Little Three com panies Studebaker-Packard Corp. and Kaiser Motors Corp. Stude- baker s 9,000 employes struck Thursday, refusing to extend a contract that expired Wednesday midnight. Woodcock said the union would not consider the AMC agreement as a pattern for Studebaker-Packard and Kaiser.

Gen. Arthur G. Trudeau was dismissed as chief of intelligence by direction of President Eisenhower. The Army Office of Information issued a formal .statement in com ment on a story in The New York Daily News to the eliecl mat Ei senhower fired Trudeau at the "personal request" of Allen Dulles, head of the Central Intelligence Agency. The statement was issued after consultation with Gen. Maxwell D. Tavlor. Army chief of staff, who has picked Maj. Gen. Ridgely Gaither Jr. to succeed Trudeau. , Text of statement: STATEMENT "The statement that Gen. Tru deau was relieved from his assign ment as G2 of the Army (chief of intelligence) by direction of (he President is incorrect, uen. Tru deau is going to an important as signment in the Far East - alter having completed nearly two years on the job. He has been succeeded bv Gen. Gaither who was uen Taylor's G2 in the Far East. A new chief of staff is privileged to make his own selection of his prin cinal staff officers." The Army announced on Aug. 10 that Trudeau would go to me far East and be replaced by Gaither, who had been in command of the 18th Airborne Corps at Ft. Bragg, N. C. Trudeau's oost in the Far East has not been announced. NEWS STORY In a Washington story by John O'Donnell, the News said Trudeau "actually was removed from his intelligence, command by Eisen hower despite the violent, though suppressed, opposition or the Pen tagon, from Secretary of Defense Wilson down through the all-power ful Joint Chiels of Stall and uni formed professionals of Army, Navy and Air." ' " The newspaper said the Presi dent "wavered" In his decision to fire Trudeau, 64, but that Allen Dulles' plea was backed up by his brother Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. In Washington, one official cited in the story as navlng taken a principal part in the reported dis missal flatly denied any knowledge of the development or navmg had any part m it. DENIAL Tnis official, Col. Stanley 'Gro- gan. a top assistant to CIA Director Dulles, told a newsman that as far as he knew the copyrighted story is "totally false and untrue in every respect." In Denver at the summer White House, James C. Hagerty, press secretary to President Elsenhow er, said there would be no state ment there and any comment must come from the Pentagon. The Army announced Aug. 10 that Trudeau would be replaced by Maj. Gen. Ridgely Gaither, who nad been in command in the 18th Airborne Corps at Ft. Bragg, N.C., since last May. Trudeau remained on the job at the Pentagon until last week. gptricJ i t if ..' i : v'r I vy...
