' Action to rxree Americans
On December 11 the United Na
tions released a cable to Prime Min
ister Choii En-lai of Red China ask

on November 23 said that thirteen
Americans had been sentenced to
prison for periods of from four
years to life for participating in a
spy plot.'; Nina Chinese were also
sentenced, some of them to death,
on the same charge' All but two
of the thirteen Americans are mem
bers of the United States armed
forces, one of them a colonel and
one major, the others holding
rank frem captain down to private.
j Most of them are members of the
J American air forces, being crews
oi pianes aownea in worm iwrea.
The If. S. State Department at
once sent to China a strong pro
test against the sentencing of the
Americans on what it declared to
be "trumped up charges."
On November 29 the British gov
ernment took an unusual action,
condemning the action of the Chi
nese Communists in sentencing the
Americans an "outrageous violation
of international law.
On November 28 Red China re-
jected the United States protest
and handed the American note back
to the diplomat in Peiping who had
delivered it.
Atoms-for-Pesce Approved
In the United Nations' Assembly
Political Committee a few days ago
the Western powers and Russia
joined in a unanimous vote approv
ing President Eisenhower's atoms-for-peace
plan. The committee adop
ted a resolution endorsing negotia
tions for . an international scierr
tific conference to be held next
summer.
After eight years of stalemate on
major issues, it was the second time
in three weeks the West and the
Soviet Union had acted together on
a major subject. Recently the As
sembly by unanimous vote instruct
ed the United Nations Disarma
ment Commission to resume talks
on limitation of armament and on
prohibiting atomic weapons. Those
talks will begin in January.
The V. S. Navy
The Navy of the United States,
according to the latest edition of
"Jane's Fighting Ships", now is eq
ual as a fighting force to all the
other major navies of the world
put together. The volume says the
American navy of five thousand
vesgeis is not only the largest peace-'
time fleet ever maintained by any
country, but appears to be adopting
scientific advances somewhat more
rapidly than any other navy.
Russia was rated superior to the
United States only in numbers of
submarines. The volume estimat
ed the Red underwater fleet at 370
to 400 vessels against the United
States navy's 200. A large number
ot long-range Russian submarines
"are now known to have been com
pleted and commissioned for ser
vice recently," the report says.
In comparing the American and
Russian fleets Jane's says that the
United States has 101 fleet and es
cort aircraft carriers against none
for 'Russia; fifteen battleships ag
ainst Russie'g three; seventy-Jive,
cruisers against Russia's twenty
six; and 737 destroyer and destroyer-escort
types against Russia's 138.

You To
If your timber has been'damaged
by fire, , storm, or other casualty
during the years, you may be entit
led to claim a deduction on your in
come tax. In order to do this, it is
necessary to know what type of loss
may be deducted, how the damaged
trees are to be measured, and how
the tax deduction is calculated.
. The losses that may be ducted
comprise for the most part those
which involve actual physical dam
age and are of sudden, unusual, or
unYnMted . character. :;. Some, are
caused, 4y natural physical forces
such as lightning, wind storm, ice,
hail, sleet, and Insect infestation and
plant disease of an epidemic nature.
Others are man , caused, such . as
those resulting from fire or plane
crash, or from war."
Two types of loss that differ from
those just described but are treat
ed in a similar manner are those
resulting from seizure or requisi
tion by poblic authority through
exercise or threat of exercise of the
tower of condemnation, or those re
ultine from theft Progressive de
terioration resulting from a stead
ily operating cause such as soil
erosion is not recognized,, nor is
retardation of growth or losses re
sulting from the willful negligence
of the taxpayer. These cannot 'be
claimed as tax deductions,
Secure Appraisal
Since you must be able to support
any statement of loss claimed as a
deduction on your tax return, it is
desirable to secure an accurate ap
praisal of the damage. The apprais
al may be made immediately after
the fire or other cause if there is
no doubt as to the death of the
trees. On the other hand, when
there is doubt as to survival the ap
praisal should not be made until
after the following growing season.
In requesting a damage estimate,
it is well to be specific as to just
what information is needed, since
the basis for calculating the tax
deduction is frequently not under
stood. Your recognized loss for tax
purposes with respect to timber in
tended tor sale or for use in your
business is the difference between
the adjusted basis (volume and
stumpage value of damaged timber)
for depletion of the damaged tim
ber and the sum of the salvage
value, if any, of the timber plus
any insurance recovery,

ance, once hard to get in North Car
olina, is now available to all land
owners in the state. Some of the
help is free while other services are
in India. In a brief ceremony a tew
days ago France handed over to
India the French Settlements of
Pondicherry, Karlkal, Mane, and
Yanaon, which have Jeen ruled
by France for 280 years;
In 1947, just after India won in
dependence from Britain, France
handed over to the New Delhi gov
ernment several other small plots
of land that once were trading posts.
Chandernagore, near Calcutta, vot
ed in 1049 to join India, and a treaty
or this transfer was approved by
the French in 1952.
The total territory transferred
comprises about 196 square miles
and has a combined population of
some 325,000. Thus, France's bid to
beat the British in establishing a
great empire on the Indian sub
continent, an effort that started back
in the seventeenth century, is end
ed. Portugal, which has similar pos
sessions, has not yet agreed to New
Delhi's demands for the cession of
Portugese India three small dis
tricts and an island oh the north
west coast, north of Bombay, In
dian nationalists in recent months
have invaded some of the Portugese
posessions and clashes resulted with
Portugese authorities.

Do You Expect
To live
Once more the thought of our
aged men and women keeps me
ever wanting to do something to
help make them happy, and enjoy
the life they deserve.
If everyone could only realize
what joy it would give one to know
they had helped make some old
person happy, who had thought
their days were,, over, and were
just waiting to die. Had you ever
thought about it? This new Era of
medical sciences, medicines to make
the old feel young again, has taken
many a person who felt they were
old and decreped down off the shelf
and found a new life for them. And
it could be you.
This new field known as Geriatric
in medical terms, adds years of
health and happiness, (or will with
a little help), vigor, usefulness and
brings many hobbies which would
interesting hobbies which would
M worthwhile. We need to help
old people, help to rid them of fear
of being old and forsaken. People
don't have to get old. In mind that
is. they need someone to talk to
about their troubles, hopes and fears

Generally, VA said,, the gift which
brings the most satisfaction to any
hospital patient is a visit on Christ
mas day or during Christmas week
from a member of his family or a.
friend. It it's not possible to visit
him, the next best thing is a long,
friendly, newsy lettei., , ,
