China-Dominated City
Begins Reappraising Future
SINGAPORE (AP) Singapore
a Chinese-dominated island cily
without a country 'has started
painful reappraisal of its future.
In ioulheast Asia Chinese areiapore
Ucing tougher times. Singapore
must buck economic trends and
walk a racial tightrope.
Last June Singapore moved to
Jenii-independence from British
rule. The ruling People's Action
party seeks eventual merger into
the big, rich Federation of Ma
laya just over a short causeway
lo the north.
Leaders here have wooed the
federation, but the Malayan re
action has been cool. The Malayan
capital of Kuala Lumpur thinks
any link with Singapore is not in
the foreseeable future.
The reason is thai only 40 per
cent of Malaya's six million inhab
itants are Chinese. The country is
run by the Malay majority, and
they want to kocp it that way.
Singapore, with 80 per cent of its

Contemplated shipping and
other facilities may drain off
much of Singapore's lifeblood, the
trade that comes here for reship-ment.
Dr. Toh Chin Chye. deputy
prime minister and chairman of
the PAP, outlined the situation in
the party paper.
'We should recognize that Sing
apore as an island will now sur
vive only on our own efforts," he
id. "Hopes of merger with the
federation still remain, but it will
be loolisli for us to believe that
such a merger will take place
within the next five years
"We must therefore formulate
our plans of development."
Singapore has been seeking clos
er relations with Indonesia, a
source of trade revenue second
only to Malaya. Prime Minister
Lee Kuan Yew goes there this
month. Here this month. Here
again the racial problem comes
in
"Our Southeast Asian neighbors
tends to regard Singapore as Chi
nese," says Dr. Toh.
He says Singapore may suffer
because of feelings stemming
from Indonesia's displacement of
rural Chinese traders, from the
China-India border dispute, and
actions against Chinese in Thai
land and the Philippines.
Snowballing economic problems
and unemployment could later
lead to political unrest in this 26
by 12-mile island. But the govern
ment knows that stability and se
curity are vital in promoting bus
iness.
Economists feel Singapore's po
sition as Southeast Asia's major
trading center is secure for 5 to
10 years. It will take that long for
either Malaya or Indonesia to de
velop adequate port and other
facilities.

All kinds of income may be tax-

cost him about SJ00 in income tax,

Park Proposal
PORTLAND (AP) - Rep.
Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.) said
Saturday there are good prospects
for passage by Congress, this year
of legislation to establish a dunes
national park on the Oregon coast.
He said by telephone from
Washington, D. C, the chances
have been improved' by Gov,
Mark Hatfield's endorsement of a
proposal for such a park.
Hatfield approved a draft of
legislation given him by his Na
tural Resources Committee, mat
measure is somewhat different
than one written by Porter and
Sen. Richard Neuberger (D-Ore.)
an orieinal proponent of dunes
lcaislation.
"We had first been led to be
lieve the governor was unalter
ably opposed to any type of sea
shore bill," Porter said. "It is
very encouraging to seek these
proposals. With some hard work,
some give and take, we'll get the
legislation passed.
'Sweet Daddy'
Lies In State
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A
marching band, surging crowds
and a new $19,000 hearse greeted
the arrival Sunday night of the
body of Negro spiritual leader
Bishop C. M. (Sweet Daddy)
Grace.
Husky uniformed members of
the Grace Guard lifted Sweet
Daddy's caske( from the train
which brought it from Los Angeles
where he died Jan. 12.
The body of the 78 - year - old
religious leader of three million
persons was placed in the hearse
and a police escort led a 10-car
motorcade to Grace's Charlotte
temple.
As the motorcade ncared
Daddy Grace's House of Prayer
for All People, an imposing $350,
000-structure in Charlotte's slum
area, the press of the crowds be
came tighter.
A block from the temple, a
smartly uniformed Negro band
briskly moved into position in
front of the motorcade and struck
up a march. Then the Grace Drum
and Bugle Corps took its place in
the procession and struck up with
the band.
When the motorcade stopped at
the temple, colored red, white and
blue as are other House of Prayer
churches throughout the nation,
police estimated a crowd of 10,000
jammed the streets.
The casket was opened inside
the temple and an orderly line of
people queued up in the dimly
lighted church. The brass band
played marches as the mourners
paused to look at the Negro lead
er, dressed in a black suit with
inch-wide gold piping.
The body will lie in state until
Tuesday when it will be taken by
motorcade to Newport News, -Va
Washington, Newark, N.J., where
it will lie in state one day each,
and then to New Bedford, Mass
for burial.

rvbody laughed, including the con
estant, and his tax bill climbed
another $25.
The value of a prize is consid
.red part of your income even il
you made only the slightest effort
iii win it. Reaching into your pock
et for a quarter lo buy a raffle
ticket is sufficient effort, as is
signing your name to a free entry
biank. The fair market value of
the commodity you win is the
amount you consider income. If
you earn $8,000 a year and win a
prize worth $2,600, then your total
income for the year, for tax pur
poses, is $10,600.
If you receive a prize in recog
nition of scientific, literary or oth
er achievement which you would
have performed anyway, then the
prize is treated as a gift and you
are not taxed on it. However, it
is important that there are no
strings attached to the gift. If a
condition of the prize is that you
give a speech or a series of lec
tures, then the prize is no longer
a gift. It is considered a payment
for services to be rendered. For
example, when William Faulkner
was awarded the Nobel Prize, he
was invited to speak at the award
presentation ceremony. Although
he accepted the invitation, he could
have declined without nullifying his
prize. Since the prize was not
predicated on his giving a speech,
it was considered a gift and was
not taxable to Mr. Faulkner.
The story is quite different with
a certain young film actress. She
was offered an award for acting,!
and was invited to be the guest
of honor at a ball. When she said
that she could not attend the func
tion, the award was withdrawn. In,
other words, her award was ac
tually conditioned on her appear
ance at the ball. Therefore, the
fair market value of the award
she would have received would be
taxable.
The income you receive from
your employers will be recorded
on your W-2 forms which must be
filed with your income tax return.
If you worked for more than one
employer during the year, you may
have overpaid your social security
taxes. The maximum amount of
social security tax that should
have been deducted from your to
tal wages for the year is $120.
If more was withheld, you can
add the extra amount to the in
come tax withheld you show on
your income tax return, regardless
of the form you use. The form
ndicates the line on which the
amount should be entered. This
will increase the amount of tax
you have already paid, and will
either increase your rotund or
reduce the tax you owe.
More and more employers arc
paying wages on an annual basis
In other words, wages are paid
even though workers are on vaca
tion or are sick. For tax purpos
es, the wages you receive while
you are sick are not always con-
It is important that you kecplceive from the Internal Revenue
track of any sick pay income you
receive. Many employers do not
distinguish between regular pay
and sick pay on their records. The
V-2 you receive may include your
entire wages for the year, even
for the period when you were
sick. Since inoomc tax will prob

Firemen Save
Powell's Son
LOS ANGELES (AP)-"Boy, I
sure was scared," said Ricky
Powell, 9, son of Dick Powell and
June Allyson.
A fireman plucked him from a
narrow ledge halfway up a 100
foot cliff in suburban Bel Air Sun
day. Two police officers climbed to
the ledge to comfort the boy while
firemen raised a ladder.
Ricky and a friend, Steve Dart,
8, were climbing the cliff at the
rear of the Dart home when Ricky
became frightened. He couldn't
go up or down. Steve scrambled
down and summoned help.
Church Phrase
Given Approval
NEW YORK (AP) - The State
Commission against Discrimina
tion sees nothing wrong with using
the phrase "churches nearby" in
resort advertising.
The American Jewish Congress
had complained that the term
might be used to discourage Jew
ish patrons.
The commission reported Sunday
that its investigation of 37 upstate
resorts indicated that many man
agements apparently regard the
terms church and synagogue as
synonymous. It said persons with
apparently Jewish names had
stayed in 28 of the resorts cited
in complaints. '
