Vast Economy Program By Nikita Seems Based On Confidence Of Peace WASHINGTON (API Western! leaders expect to draft within the next month a new formula for German reunification. They hope It may promote serious negotia tion with the Soviet Union for uniting East and West Germany The chape of the formula is still to he determined, but it is ex pected to push the Western re quest for free all-German elec tions somewhat into the back ground. Many experts now believe that the unifying process could go on for as much as two years before nationwide elections were held. In the meantime practical steps in the economic and political field could be taken to bring the two Germanics closer together. Diplomatic informants said to day that the United States. Brit ain, France and West Germany are guided by two main tactical considerations in the wholesale review of their German policies which it now under wav. Their primary aim is to test to the limit without sacrificing vital western Interests the pos nihility that the Soviet govern ment may be ready for serious negotiations and compromises on the unity issue. Their other concern is to dem onstrate to the world a Western readiness to negotiate with, initia tive and flexibility. Several Western concessions al ready Have become know n as a re sult f exchanges among the gov ernments in Washington. London. Paris and Bonn. These conces sions include: 1. A decision to propose in a forthcoming note to the Soviet government that German advisers participate in a prospective Kast- nest foreign ministers cor.ierence. 2. A declared readiness recent ly staled by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles to have foreign ministers conference with the Soviet Union without advance agreement on a detailed program ot discussion. The only agreement required from the Soviet Union is to talk about all aspects of the German problem so that both sides could bring up any pro posals they wish. 3. A decision that the reunifi cation of Germany through free election .the formula to which the Western powers have clung lor many years is not the only possible way to obtain German unity. Initialed by Dulles, this change hroke down the West's rigid posi tion on one of the crucial Ger man issues. Authorities said today that any merger plan acceptable to the West would require at some point all German elections to choose a new unity government but that the elections would not have to be a first step by any means.

Logging Men Ponder Taxes EUGENE AP Taxes we.e the principal topic of discussion as the 21st Oregon Logging Con ference continued here today. At Thursday's opening session, delegates heard a plea lor lower taxes by W. D. Hagenstein, execu tive vice president of the Indus trial Forestry Assn. He commend ed the Legislature for its resolu tion lo encourage expansion of resident industry and develop- iment'of new industry in the state. Salem accountant Bernard Da vis suggested several possible changes in the present inventory tax on logs. He said the present program tends to discourage mill operators from maintaining year around payrolls. Davis suggested changing the inventory date from Jan. 1 to -May t. Another possi bility, he said, would be lo make the tax work as it does for farm products elimination of inven tory tax if the produce is sold by May 1. Carl Raynnr of Springfield, president of the conference, called for improved industry public relations.

Rumors Follow Releasing Of New American Coins By MELV1N CARMlCHAEL, It happens every time a U.S. foin with a new design is re leased: We consider it a safe bet that the rumors concerning the Initials V.D B. for the sculptor Victor David Brenner, on the new Lincoln cent reverse are as un founded as the other coin design rumors of the past "5 years. Working backward, the first stop Is 1M8 when the Franklin hah" dollar was released. The rumor here was that the Liberty Bell on the reverse had a large crack in k and the government was go ing to call them in because of this error. The rumor repeaters evidently ignored the fact that the erigmal Liberty Bell that served as a model for this design bore the crack. The Roosevelt dime, first coined in IMS. bean at the bottom of the bust, the initials J S. When this dime first made its appear ance, the rumors said the initials were those of Joseph Stalin and were placed on the die by Com munists in Roosevelt I cabinet. Ac tually, the initials are those At John Sinnock. then chief engrav er at the Philadelphia mint and the designer of the dune. When the Jefferson nickel made Ks bow to the public in 1938. many were hoarded and changed hands at several dollars each be cause of a widespread rumor that the government was going to call them in and pay prices variously quoted at from $8 to $50 each. This, because the building on the reverse of Ihe coin had no flag Bole and government buildings re quire a flagpole. The building on the coin is Monticello, the home of Jefferson, and required a flag pole no more than your home or my home. When the. Mercury dime showed up in 191R. the "call in" rumors itarted circulating again. This time the supposed objection was to the main design of the reverse which bears a close resemblance to the Fascist emblem. The em blem lasted the life of the coin- asre. from 1916 to 1945. The rumors concerning the Standing Liberty quarter, which also first appeared in 191B, took year or so to get started. This rumor is a bit more complicated Due to a peculiarity of the ob verse die used for these coins un til 1925. the date was in a raised and prominent position on the coin with the result that several months of circulation were enough to wear the date completely off the coin, leaving only a black and shiny rectangle where the date had been. The rumor then startea mat these dateless quarters were ex cellent counterfeits smuggled in from Mexico. China, Russia, or Switzerland, and one rumor bear er even gave Albania as their source. The only thing wrong with them, (aid the rumors, was that the counterfeiters forgot to put a date on them, but, the rumor contin ued, they were being smuggled Into Ihe U.S. in sues vast numbers that the government was going to call In all Standing Liberty quar ters tn nut a stoo lo the circula tion of the counterfeits, and to avoid disruption ol Ihe U.S. econ omy which would result from such vast distribution of these spurious quarters. The obverse die was re designed in 1925 to produce a more durable date.

There fore, the government was going to call them in and pay a large ifvarnium. La'ar. in 19IJ. th died tials, V.D.B.. (foi Victor David Brenneri appeared quite consDic- uously at the bottom of the re verse. There was considerable public outcry against the initials being displayed so prominently on the coins and the rumor started that Uncle Sam was going to call them in, resulting in considerable gain for the lucky holders of the coins. Literature of the period states that the public "queued up at hanks" lo get "some, of those Brenner pennies." They are still, worth only one cent to Uncle Sam. Around the middle of 1909 the Initials were .removed from the, dies. In lstlg Mr. Brenner was again given credit for his pro duct, this time with the initials placed obscurely under Lincoln's bust. In 18H3, the first Liberty head nickels had only a large V Mhe Roman numeral for 5 in the cen ter of the reverse to show its denomination. The fast buck boys of the period goldplated them and passed them as $5 gold coins, since nowhere did the coin state whether it was V cents or dol lars. After several weeks of call in rumors and hundreds of letters to the Treasury Department of fering to sell their V nickels, the reverse die was considerably altered. The E Plurihus Unum which had been at the bottom of the reverse was moved to the lop of the wreath and the word cents was placed at the bottom. Rumors could he quoted bark to 1793 when the first U.S. coin ap peared. Actually the government has only once called in a coin. and rather than paying a prem ium for it, the value of the coin was officially cut nearly in half. The trade dollar, coined from 1873 to 1R78 to compete with the Mexican dollar In the Orient, was not a successful competitor, so, in 1883, the government gave the holders of the trade dollars six months to redeem them at face value. At the end of the six months they wert demonitiied to their silver content, 80 cents. Sons Cited By Father OAKLAND. Calif.
