Secretary Distrusful
Of Spectacular Moves
By United Pkm International
David Dean Rusk, an affable
scholar who becomes secretary of
state under. President Kennedy,
distrusts .the spectacular, and be
lieves in the effectiveness of good
sound staff work. ; -
He has no personal ambition to
set the world on fire, believing
instead that his new role is to
serve as "chief agent" of the
President in formulating and ex
ecuting foreign policy.
Rusk's reputation among those
with whom he has worked in gov
ernment and at the Rockefeller
Foundation Is that of an "idee
man" who sparks new sugges
tions and believes in constant
search for better methods of
tackling old problems. , ;
His friends say he is decisive.
His critics claim he sometimes

Effective a Negotiator
Rusk's effectiveness at be

tested by the fact that liberals
consider him one of their own,
yet conservatives consider him a1
moderate man with a "sound1
approach to controversial issues,
He is an "egghead" who gets
along well with congressmen in
the everyday realities of politics,
He is practical and touch-mind

and effectively the international
policies decided upon by the Pres
ident.
He acknowledges that his role
entitles him to advise and "per
suade" the Chief Executive when
that seems called for.
Rusk, SJ next month, was presi
dent of the philanthropic Rocke
feller Foundation when Kennedy,
who had never seen him before.
decided to name him secretary of
state. 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.
Escaped "Disaster" Criticism
He entered the Far East divi
sion late enough to escape the
criticism levelled at the Stale De
partment for the loss of China to
the Communists. He was not iden
tified with any particular "disas
ter" .during his previous service
in government. , ,
Rusk, born Feb. 9, 1909, in Cher
okee County, Georgia, has had a
Horatio Alger career. The fourth
of five children of a mail carrier,
Rusk attended high school in At
lanta and put himself through
Davidson College in North Caro
lina by working as a bookkeeper
and bank teller. .
At Davidson, he won a Phi Beta
Kappa key and a Rhodes scholar-
ship which enabled him to study
at Oxford University in England
World War II gave him his op
portunity to escape academic ob
scurity. 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. Rusk went tn
Washington as assistant to the
chief of the International Security
Atiairs Division in the State De
partment. He put in a short stint
at the War Department and then
returned to state as director of the
Office of United Nations Affairs.
In 1949,' he whs named assist
ant secretary of state for U.N.
affairs and in 1850 was appointed
to the sensitive post of assistant
secretary for Far East affairs.

Weird Problem
By ANN LANDERS
Dear Ann Landers: My husband
has a problem that is so weird
he's afraid to tell anyone.
Recently he
dreamed he took
a bite out of a
bar of soap. For
several hours af
ter awakening
JL , he felt nauseated
"VA. j and couldn't eat.
li 8b Last week he
dreamed he had his appendix re
moved and when he woke up he
not only felt as though he had
been through, surgery, but he
looked like it.
Last night he dreamed someone
slammed the car door on his foot.
This morning he's limping and
swears he's in physical pain. Is
this possible? I say no. After all
nothing actually happened to his
foot. What should he do see a
doctor? It- all sounds so foolish.
Please help.-SHOOK
Dear Shook: It Is possible that
your husband Is la pain and be
should see a doctor ooi a foot
doctor but a bead doctor. As im
agined pala can be just as severe
I a "real" one.
Siace your husband Is se good
at dreaming It's too bad he
doesn't treat himself to
thing better than an appendecto
my or a smashed foot. -
Dear Ann Landers: Aren't you
supposed to help people get along
Renegade
Boy Gets
His Wish
WILLIAMSON. W. Va
(AP) A
boy who says he broke into a
store and stole several radios "so
someone would take me into their
home" has gotten his wish.
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. .

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.

How dare you call a sensible

taught them respect for authority.
If more parents had the courage

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

to provide 50 per cent greater

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

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.
The book, "Claretta," was writ
ten by Italian journalist. Franco
Bandini and published last No
vember at $2 a copy by a Milan
publishing house. - .
Claretta's relatives protested
that the book was a violation of
the right of privacy. The author
and the publishers hold it justi
fied "by the right of historic re
search." State attorney Gian Paolo Bini
Friday ordered all copies of the
book on stands or in the publish
ers offices seized and sale halted
pending adjudication.
Claretta and Mussolini were
shot to death by Italian partisans
at nearby Dongo on April 28, 1945.

If your spouse died in I960 and
