A gift is not taxable until it is sold, and as long as Mr. Hume leeps the letter more than six rionths, his tax will be only 25 percent. If treasury agents argue about thais, Mr. Hume can tell them quite truthfully that his letter is some- thing which happens only once in & etime, that it w an unsolicited t from the President, and that if any gift tax aid it should come out of Harry Truman’s pocket, not his.

The Agriculture Department has also informed Economic Stabilizer Valentine that over-all controls on farm products would raise the nation’s food bill from 5 to 10 percent because of the number of commodi now below parity prices. Meat Price Ceilings Of the foods that will be controli- ed, beef, lamb and veal top the t. All are above parity. Price Ad- ministrator Di Salle will have a meeting with Chicago meat-pack- ers and western cattlemen this month and expects to put a price ceiling on meat in February. It will take at least that time for him to get organized. Next to meat, products most like- ly to be controlled include cotton, raisins, rice, flue-cured tobacco, and possikly conttonseed oil, all of which are above parity. Valentine and Di Salle are hesitant aboul controlling wool, also above par- v, for fear of discouraging domes- tic production of this critically short war essential, Publicly, the Agriculture Depart- ment has taken an aloof position on farm price ceilings, but privately it has submitted the following list of farm products for possible con- trol: ‘Wool, about 29 percent above par- ity; cotton, 27 percent above; sheep 10 percent above; beef cattle, 5 percent above; rice, 2 percent above; tobacco, 2 percent above; | and lamb, 1 percent above. { The list also shows these items to be below parity: hogs, 10 per- cent; peanuts, 12 percent; milk for processing, 12 percent; soy beans, 12 percent; butter fat, 13 percent; eggs, 14 percent; wheat, 15 percent; edible dry beans, 16 percent; corn, 18 percent; chickens, 25 percent; oats, 18 percent; potatoes, 51 per- cent; anc oranges, 60 percent.
