Jewish shops were defaced In England. Swastikas were scrawled on walls in Italy. West German diplomats received threats, and Jew-baiting slogans appeared in Australia as the outburst went into its 13th day. Envoys from West Germany where the anti-Jewish outbreaks first flared on Christmas Eve, sured other nations Chancellor Konrad Adenauer's government will take drastic action. "Such evil deeds," a statement said, appeared part of a "planned campaign to discredit the Federal Republic before world opinion. A left-wing minority group In Israel called on the 30.000 Jews remaining in West Germany to migrate to Israel. The appeal was made by Zvi Lubotkin of the Achduth Avodah party at a meet ing of the Zionist General Council. The council, an international or ganization, sidestepped an en dorsement of Lubotkin's call. New York authorities reinforced guards around synagogues follow ing a weekend of swastika smear ing, but more anti-Jewish inci dents were reported. Swastikas were found painted on the doors of a public school in Queens and a broken window was reported in a synagogue in West Stereotypers Ask 3rd Party To End Spat PORTLAND (AP) - The Port land newspaper strike today en tered its 57th day. No sign of a settlement was in sight. An official of the striking Stereo typers Union suggested again Monday that a third party pref erably Gov. Mark Hatfield move in to help settle the dispute. However, managements of The Oregonian and The Oregon Jour nal, as they have done before, rejected the idea, saying such in tervention would not be helpful. At Salem, Hatfield said he was hopeful that a fact-finding com' mission could be created and that he was working toward that end Harlcy Flcsvig, president of the Stereotypers local here, said man' aeement had turned down an earlier Hatfield proposal to medi ate the dispute, and added: "If the assistance of outside, impartial persons brought an end to the eight-month-old steel strike, why couldn't such help do the same in this situation?" In a joint statement, the pub lishers of the two newspapers later said: 'There is no reason to believe either the governor, through medi ation, or a fact-finding committee, could be any more effective in jarring the union loose from its untenable positions than has the Federal Mediation Service. "The steel strike and the news paper strike are vastly different. A steel shutdown affected virtually the entire economy. By contrast, we are not shut down. We are publishing. Our readers, our ad vertisers and the interests of the commonwealth are being served. Any adverse economic conse quences have been largely obvi ated. "The proposal appears, as be- fore, an effort to project this dis pute into the political arena. We do not believe that political inter vention, at union behest, is indi cated, nor do we believe it would be helpful." At Salem, Hatfield commented on the union proposal by saying: "I have given no special con sideration to it in light of today's development. But I have been thinking about it right along. I am still hopeful we can get them together on a fact-finding commis sion. That is the approach I would like to make and I am working toward that end." The strike began Nov. 10. The newspapers are publishing a joint edition, using supervisory and non-union help. Klamath ralla.

Klamath Falls, Ore. Hempstead. Six Brooklyn boys were adjudged juvenile delin quents for breaking windows New Year's Eve and Sunday in a Hebrew school and a nearby syna gogue. The smear campaign spread to Cincinnati, Ohio, where chalked signs "Deaths to the Jews" and "Hitler defeated but not dead' showed up on desks at an elemen tary school which has a large proportion of Jewish pupils. Police blamed vandals who also ransack ed the desks Monday before the school opened. In England, a British govern ment minister, Sir Edward Boyle, told a meeting of the Council of Christians and Jews, "We can take heart at the speed and vigor with which the West German govern ment has acted. The West German Embassy In London received a telegram signed "British Nazi Party" threatening supporters of Aden auer with reprisals if the Bonn government takes action against anti-Semitic elements. Swastika daubing continued in various English cities. The Hitler insignia was smeared on the win dow of a Jewish bookshop in London's Marylebone district. Six Jewish shops in Leeds were daubed. Other incidents were re ported 'in Bolton and Salford. Nazi Germany's swastika flag was found early today on a monu ment in the main square of Milan, Italy. A swastika also was scrawled in the square where oartisans hanged the body of Benito Mussolini. In Rome, Jewish residents stoned the Italian government s Nautical Institute after students inside scrawled swastikas on the window panes. In Oslo, Jewish businessman Otto Rabl received two threaten ing letters in German. "If you do not get out of the country, you Jewish swine, we will make soup out of you in 1960, said one letter. Water Board Asks Change In Legislation SALEM (AP)-The state Water Resources Board asked Monday for a change in legislation to cre ate a national seashore area in the dunes region on the Oregon coast near Florence. It asked that water in the area be used for any beneficial use, provided it does not harm the recreational or scenic values of the area. This recommendation will be submitted next Monday to the gov ernor's.. Natural Resources Com mittee, consisting of heads of several state resource agencies. The dunes legislation now pro vides for use of water in the proposed park only for domestic and industrial use. The state Fish and Game Com missions failed in their attempt to get the board to revise upward its requirements for discharge of water from the proposed Round Butte Dam on the Upper Des chutes River. Portland General Electric Co. has been granted a preliminary permit to build the dam, provided it maintains a discharge of al least 3.000 cubic feet per second from the dam to sustain down stream fish life. There is an added provision that the actual minimum discharge could be revised upward by nego tiation between the power com pany and the two commissions. The commissions asked Monday that the board increase the re quired discharge each March, April and May to the average for the past 10 years, which would be more than 6,000 cubic feet per second. The board answered that the two commissions should first nego tiate with PGE. Then, if no agree ment could be reached, the board would consider the matter again. Phil Schneider, stale game di rector, said it would take 18 months to complete studies of the river to determine how much stream flow would be required. State Engineer Lewis A. Stanley reported that a court suit was filed in Malheur County to challenge the 1937 state law regulating use of ground water. The suit was filed by Robert D. Lytic, Vale attorney, who argues that every farmer has the right to use the water under his own land. Si 1 I ORCHIDS from Hawaii to You! Tuesday. JqwHarg 5. I960 "DENNIS TH6 MNACfi.-: ' kl.MmfiZT! VID YA SEE M Income Tax Facts Editor's Note: This is one in a series of articles on small-business tax problems. These articles are based on information provided by the American Institute of Certi fied Public Accountants and the Southern Oregon Society of Certi fied Public Accountants. CORPORATED INCOME TAXED TO STOCKHOLDERS Many small businesses can now enjoy all the advantages, tax and otherwise, of being incorporated without the disadvantages of cor porate taxes. One of the 1958 federal lax amendments allows stockholders of certain corporations to elect to have the profits of the corporation considered as a part of their own personal income for tax purposes, Prior to this amendment, the cor poration's profits were taxed at the rate of 30 per cent on the first $25,000 and 52 per cent above that amount. Stockholders receiving dividends from the corporation's profits were then taxed at the nor mal rate for individuals. This so- called "double taxation" on corpo rate profits posed an obstacle to the incorporation of small busi nesses. If a corporation were to take advantage of the election, its prof its would be considered income to the stockholders in proportion to the amount of stock they held at the end of the year. In other words, a stockholder would pay a personal income tax on his propor tionate share of the profits as in a partnership. The corporation would pay no federal tax. A net operating loss would also be passed on to the shareholders on a pro rata basis. The share holder's portion of the corpora tion's net operating loss is prorated according to the number of shares held on each day of the taxable year. The stockholder may treat this loss as a business deduction on his personal return. There are limits on the amount which may be deducted, based upon your cost, the corporation profits and losses in earlier years, your withdrawals and amounts which you have lent the corpora tion. To make the election, corpora tion may have no more than ten stockholders individual stockhold ers, not corporations, trusts or part nershipsand must have only one class of stock. Other requirements exclude holding companies or cor porations with too much income from rents, dividends, interest, roy alties, annuities or foreign sourc es. All stockholders must agree to the election. If your business is on a calendar year basis (January 1 to December 3D, you have until January 31st to file an election not to be taxed as a corporation for litSO. Corporations on any other 12-month basis must file the elec tion before the end of the first month of their taxable year. There are a number of other legitimate tax savings and bene fits you can protit trom if you operate as a corporation and take advantage of the election. For ex ample, as a working stockholder you are an employe of your cor poration, and you are eligible to participate in more advantageous pension and profit-sharing plans. But as a partner or proprietor, you could not be considered an employe in your own business. You therefore, could not participate in these plans. If you are an employe stock holder, you can receive up to FIGHTS WRINKLES, ftv.fTyr. SOILING! Him Tur Clethas Ckitt t CaK!

The corporation can deduct health and accident insur ance premiums and group life in surance premiums covering you without your reporting the prem iums as income. You can make gifts of stock to children and other relatives as a means of splitting income for tax savings. Once such gifts are made, the corporate profits will be taxed to your relatives in proportion to the stock they hold. Since they are probably in a lower tax brack et, this can amount to a consid erable saving in tax dollars. How ever, this saving can be offset to some extent by the gift tax. Another tax advantage of giving gifts of stock to relatives is that, such gifts can be timed at your discretion for maximum effective ness. For example, if at the end of the year your corporation's prof its are high, you may wish to have some of the income taxed to your children at the lower tax levels. However, these gifts must be bona fide. In other words, you can't have strings attached that will enable you to retain voting use of the shares or get the shares back at the end of a cer tain period. A limiting condition is that for the election to remain in effect, you cannot increase the number of stockholders to more than ten. i Most healthy businesses do not withdraw all of their profits at the end of the year. They plow back part of the earnings to pay for new equipment, to buy new plants, and to expand product lines. If a corporation makes this elec tion, all of its profit will be taxed as income to the stocknoiaers whether they withdraw any of it or not. But although they will al ready have paid tax on the money they leave in the business, they will have the right to withdraw it provided the election is in effect for the year in which the with drawal is made. Incidentally, this right is not transferable. If the stock is sold, inherited, or given as a gift, the new stockholder can not withdraw tax free the previous ly taxed but not withdrawn prof its. If you now operate a partner ship or proprietorship and are thinking of incorporating, you should weigh the federal tax advantages against state taxes and other corporate expenses you might be taking on. Another point to consider is the bookkeeping difficulties presented by making the election. You will need to keep accurate records of the undistributed income that oc curred before, during and after the election was in effect. Another problem even though individual in come tax was paid on the undis tributed income while the election was in effect, such income cannot be distributed tax free after the election is terminated until cur rent and accumulated earnings are distributed and such distributions are taxable as dividends. This is a serious problem since an elec tion can terminate without all shareholders desiring it. You can get additional informa tion on your business tax problems from your local Internal Revenue Service office. Either write, tele phone, or make a personal visit. but be sure to ask for a copy of the Internal Revenue Service Book let, "Tax Guide for Small Busi ness." This 35-cent booklet will be a big help to any small busi nessman.

He in formed the council that he had contacted the State Sanitary Au thority Ken Speis in Portland and that Speis said he would send a man to Klamath Falls soon to make some tests in an effort to solve the problem. Vergeer told the council that the city had entered into an agree ment with the Gospel Mission to tear down the old terminal build ing at the airport. UNDER THE TERMS of the agreement, approved by the coun cil, the Gospel Mission would be entitled to salvage materials of the building and upon completion of destruction within 60 days, the city would assume the cost of insur ance necessary for the job. This would amount to about $250, Ver geer estimated. He indicated that the work is now in progress and is being done with volunteer labor under the di rection of a paid supervisor. The council earlier had adver tised for bids on tearing down the building, but received no bids. It is necessary to complete de struction of the building before the new terminal can be opened. Two new potential construction projects in the city were passed along to the Planning Commis sion. Both requested re-zoning of areas for the building of apart ment structures. One would be for a large apartment, unit to be con structed north beyond Dahlia Street and below Eldorado Boulevard, and the other would be a 34 unit apart ment to be built at the corner of Washburn Way and Union Avenue by Vernon Scott, Eugene. THE PLANNING COMMISSION will hold public hearings on the requested re-zoning afid make a recommendation to. the city coun cil. In other action, the council auth orized the installation of two-hour parkfng meters on Eleventh Street from Klamath to Walnut follow ing complaints of automobiles park ing the area in excess of the two hour limitation. A resolution was approved auth orizing the mayor to sign an agree ment leasing the restaurant facili ties of the new terminal building to Michael B. May for a five-year period to January 1, 1965, subject to a five-year renewal option to December 31, 1969. It also approved the establish ment of a no parking zone on both sides of Main Street from Payne Alley to the west end of the Link River bridge. This was suggested by the State Highway Department, and deemed neces sary for the safety of traffic in the area where the bypass inter sects Main Street. WALLET Wt talu pleatura Den S I o a 'J our fin hat ;omi A s e e I I Ortf 4 Nana)) llWf) lrfc 517 Main Strot, Klamath Falls, Ortgon and 35 years later I began devel oping a cataract in the other eye. The removal of the average cat aract is simple for a skilled sur geon. One of the greatest of them told me, "It is as easy for us as clipping a fingernail or tying a shoelace." The operation is suc cessful more than 99 per cent of the time. In the New York hospital where my cataract was removed in 1940, only three patients out of 2,500 failed to recover the vision they had had. I was one of 'the three because my cataract had formed in an eye that had taken a terrible beating in 1902 from a dread infection called sympathetic ophthalmia. Neglect of eye injuries or eye troubles of any kind is perhaps the major cause of blindness to day. If my own left eye had been removed in time it is likely that I would have normal vision in the other eye today. The first rule is this: If any thing at all happens to your eye, you should see a reputable doctor at once. One of the commonest accidents is to cut the cornea, or transparent covering of the eye ball, with the edge of a handker chief or even the edge of a facial tissue. The pain is sharp but us ually goes away in a matter of seconds. Nevertheless it would be wise to let an eye doctor look at the eye. Anybody who thinks eye drops of any kind will cure cataract is a danger to himself and to the community. Thousands of people have spread the false news that cataract can be cured by ordinary citric acid. Deluded people all over the world have written me about fake "cures" for cataract and for all other eye conditions. I have not only been told to use orange juice, but to rub my spine with a bil liard ball; to put a hot flatiron against my temple; to watch jumping beans; to swallow the scrapings of church bells, and even to become emotionally in volved with an Apache princess. The normal human eye is not fragile but one of the strongest or gans of the body. Now and then a beating, or fall, or other accident may cause a detachment of the retina, or segment of the retina. This is a condition that cannot and must not be neglected. Although the five operations I underwent were performed just 20 years ago, a distinguished eye doctor told me, "Compared to re cent, or postwar, improvement in knowledge and technique Of eye operations, you were practically operated on in the dark ages." - Many people are terrified of eye operations, but they should not be. First of all, do not delay and then consult your physician and obtain the name of a reputable eye surgeon. - FREE DELIVERY SERVICE! ON ANY ITEM IN THE STORE!
