The President explained that exhaustive investigation had con vinced him Rusk was "the best man available" for -the job, Rusk is returning to familiar surroundings. He was assistant secretary of state for Far East affairs before taking the Rocke feller job. He is credited with having plaved a role in convinc ing President Truman that the United States had to take deci sive action against the Communist invaders' of South Korea.

A reserve officer, he was called into military service as an infantry captain. Sent to the China-Burma-India theater, he participated in the tough Burma campaigns under U. Gen. Joseph (Vinegar Joe) Stilwell and become chief of staff in the area. After the war.

He blurted out his story of be-1 ing unwanted Friday while before Special Circuit Court Judge b. N Friedburg.- The judge was about to sentence him on a breaking and entering charge. The boy, 14, and previously sent to the Industrial school for boys at Pruntytown. W. Va., in terrupted tho judge and said he wanted to talk to Police Chief Rossy Bucci.' Chief Bucci was his friend, the boy said. . ; He pulled , from his pocket a letter from his father. The father had written he did not want his son. A court official spoke up, saying the boy's mother also had expressed herself as not wanting him. , 'Can you find me a home?" the boy pleaded to the police chief. Judge Friedburg, who refused to make public the name of the boy, asked Bucci: "You may take the boy if you want him. Do I want him? No way in the world could I let him go," said Bucci, a bachelor living with his mother. Judge Friedburg then awarded custody of the boy to the police chief until a permanent home can be found. . E. Germans Want Men From Berlin BERLIN (AP) East Germany asserted it has a right to recruit for its army in Berlin, de fying a British complaint that this violates the four-power status of the divided city. The assertion was made In a statement to the East German news agency, ADN, by Otto Win zer, No. 2 man in the East VGcr- man Foreign Ministry. Western nations do not recognize the Com munist regime. "It Is entirely obvious," Winzer said, "that a country seeks to re cruit volunteers in its own cap ital." - There can be no more question of- a four-power status in Berlin he added, repeating the standard East German line that all Berlin lies on its territory. This line docs not conform at all points with the position of the Soviets, who in practice continue to re spect many provisions of the four- power agreements on Berlin. The British Foreign Office ac cused the East Germans Thurs day of violating these. The charge was based or an order by the East Berlin city government to local officials, requiring them to help the Communist army in its recruiting. Under the four-power agreements, German military ac tivity is b,u red in Berlin. Winzer accused the Western powers of violating them by re cruiting (or the West German army in West Berlin, and by al lowing the visit of important offi cials from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

""ai.n a Joint Return Can De A Money Savor Editor's Notes This Is the sec ond of five dispatches on how to file your income tax without hav ing to pay more than required to. Today's dispatch covers the rules for filing a joint return. By EDWARD COWAN WASHINGTON (UPI) - Tucked into one section of the tax law is the government's admission that nowadays two cannot live as cheaply as one. Congress was not so brash as to debunk the old romantic adage; in so many words, It did so in-. directly by giving married cou ples a special money-saving tax advantage. A husband and wife usually can reduce their income tax by filing a joint return. They may do so even if only one of them received income of any kind tn 1960. A joint return reduces a cou ple's tax because their income is split in two and each half is taxed separately. This means a lower tax rate is levied. " .7 The rate is lower because the tax schedule is "progressive." The nlgner your income me larger uic percentage of it Uncle Sam takes in taxes. So, when a couple re ports all their income jointly, the tax is lower than the rate which would apply to the total. ' High-Speed Railroading Needed, Says GE Prexy By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor NEW YORK (UPI) ' Mergers are continually being mentioned as the only solution to the rail road problems. But the President of General Electric has his own prescription high speed railroading. Longer and faster freights pull ed by more powerful engines may be just what this depressed car rier needs, Robert Paxton sug gested in the' latest issue of the Exchange magazine. . The gains in efficiency achieved by' the railroads the past 25 years' through large capital ex penditures have proved Insult; cient to reverse- the downward drift in return on investment, the GE executive noted, t One Big' Advantage. He said, however, that the rail roads do have one great potential advantage in meeting intensified competition from other modes of transportation their own rights ol way. One of the more common measures of railroad productivity is gross ton-miles per train hour. High gross ton: - miles per train hour may be obtained by running heavy trains at low speed or by running lighter . trains at high peed, Paxton explained in the New York Stock Exchange publi cation. ; . . The low average speed of large portion of today's freight service reflects efforts to increase productivity by making trains longer' and heavier, and running them at relatively low speed, While this produces a . good showing by the productivity yard stick, he said, there usually is no actual improvement in service to the shipper. The number of standard loco motive units can be increased to obtain greater power and speed Paxton noted, but this means in creased operating costs. - Heavier Trains The attractive combination is a heavy train pulled at high speed by a more powerful locomotive he stated. After seven years of research and development GE has intro duced the U2SB locomotive, "n e w from the rails up and designed to provide 50 per cent greater ANOTHER J.

' 0 See The Complete Line At IWMM 734 Se. 6th To show how the joint' .return saves taxes, here is an example: A man filing a separate return and reporting a taxable income of $7,000 has a tax liability of $1,660. But if that man gets his non working wife to sign a joint re turn with him, the tax bill is $1,460 a saving of $200. ; When both husband and wife work, it is sometimes cheaper to file separate returns. The only way to decide what to do is' to figure your taxes both ways on scratch paper, and take tne cheaper way. You may file a joint return this year even if you filed separate returns last year, and vice versa, You are barred from filing a joint return: 11 you were divorced or legal ly separated on or before Dec, 31, I960.- ' If you are married to a non- citizen who does hot live in this county. Or. if you and your wife re port your income on the basis of different tax years. For example for business reasons you may re port your income for a 12-month period ending June 30 while your wife uses the regular calendar year. For purposes of filing a joint horsepower than most of the die- scl electronics now in domestic service, Paxton reported. A demonstration locomotive. made up of two of the new GE units and generating 5,00u horse power has been tested by some 12 ma jo? mainline railroads. Paxton said it has rolled up an impres sive record of faster-than-sched-ule runs." Paxton concluded that his com pany sincerely believes that the U25B locomotive will play a sub stantial role in the new era, of railroading. Copies Of Book About Benito's : Mistress Taken MILAN, Italy (AP)-The Milan state attorney has ordered the seizure of all copies-of, a book about, the lite of Benito Musso lini's mistress, Claretta Petacci, pending legal action on a protest by her family.

If your spouse died in I960 and you did not remarry you still may file a joint return. Sometimes a surviving spouse may claim the income-splitting benefits ol a joint return for the two years following death. For details about this rule ask your attorney or office of the Internal Revenue Service. A joint return probably would be to your advantage if your wife earned less than $600 last year. She would get a refund for taxes withheld if she filed separately, but you would lose her as an ex emption. A couple filing jointly may use the short form, 1040A, if com bined income is not more than $10,000 including not more than $200 of dividends, interest and wages on which tax was not with held. Or, the couple may use the mid dle form, 1040W, or the long form, 1040. Rules governing use of forms are the same for couples as for individuals. They were set forth in the last dispatch in the UPI tax series. ' Both husband and wife must sign a joint return and each be comes individually liable for any tax owed the government.
