Monday, June 1, 1953 PALM DAD/ FINALLY BACK IN HOLLYWOOD after seven months in his native Italy, actor Vittorio Gassman finally gets to see his new daughter, Vittoria, held by her mother, actress Shelley Winters, The infant appears to be smiling for the big reunion, Impressive Star Cast To Appear In Strand Movie “Sombrero,” one of M-G-M’s most lavish Technicolor produc- tions, will be shown June 2 through June 6 at the Strand Theatre. The new picture, filmed against a background of Mexican locales, music, dances and customs, boasts an impressive star cast, including Ricardo Mantalban, Pier Angeli, Vittorio Gassman, Cyd Charisse, and Yvonne de Carlo, and intro- duces a new star find in, Rick Ja- son, In the supporting cast are Nina Foch, Kurt Kasner, Walter Hamp- den, Thomas Gomez-and the noted Spanish dancer, Jose Greco, Based on Josefina Niggli’s best- seller novel, “‘A Mexican Village,” the plot revolves about a feud be- tween two neighboring Mexican vil- | lages, a feud which has its reper- cussions on three respective ro- mances, a humorous one involving Montalban and Miss Angelic, a tragic one involving Gassman and Yvonne de Carlo, and a third in whieh Cyd Charisse overcomes the obstacles in the path of her love for Rick Jason. Almost all of the stars are given an opportunity to either dance or sing, with Miss Charisse’s gypsy dance, a flamenco solo by Jose Greco, highlighting the musical aspects of the story. Mexico City, Cuernavaca and the picturesque villages of Teteca- la and Tepoztlan were among the locations used for “Sombrero,” un- der the direction of Norman Fos- ter who also collaborated with Miss Niggli on the screen play. The producer is Jack (“Lovely to Look At’) Cummings, SOUTH KOREA (Continued from Page One) dicated they were still considering the offer and may be awaiting a high decision, from Peiping or pos- sibly Moscow, Washington sources said the El- senhower message to Rhee made these points: 1, Threats or criticism will not keep the U. S. from seeking a truce on “honorable terms,” 2, Security of U, S. and U. N. forces in Korea must be a deter: mining factor in any situation that might develop, and is a primary concern of Washington. 3. The U, S? is ready as in the past to support South Korea with military, political and economic ald, It was reported that U. S. Am. Dassador Ellis O, Briggs delivered the message in one of three visits with Rhee in less than a week, Briggs refused to confirm or deny that, South Korean fnformants said the fiery, 78-year-old Rhee wrote a feply personally with the help of his Austrian-born wife and Pyun, Dut the text could not be learned. Meanwhile, Choi told AP Corre- @pondent Bill Shinn at Seoul that be would continue his unprecedent- ed boycott of the negotiations un- less the U. N. changes or with- @raws the latest proposal, He also accused Harrison of be- ing “not sincere,” saying “I asked Gen. Harrison to trans-/ st mit my letter to Gen. Mark Clark (U, N.

The regular tax on that $300,000—normal 30 per cent on the full amount and surtax of 22 per cent on $275,000 — was $150,500. Method No. 1—Since the tax limit jis 70 per cent, and XYZ has been | taxed at a top rate of 52 per cent, it applies the remaining 18 per| jeent to its $300,000 earnings. Re- | sult: $54,000. That's EPT tax. Add- |ing the EPT of $54,000 to the reg- Jular tax of $150,000, XYZ’s total | tax is $204,500. Too high? The firm looks for a lower tax by trying | the next method. Method No. 2—This raises a | question: Just What is an excess profit? Excessive over what and when? For comparison, Congress had to find a basis, some period |and earnings which might be con- sidered normal or average. It |picked the years between World |War If and the start of the Ko- rean War, the years 1946 through 1949, inclusive. Many businessmen claim those years were not nor- mal for. them. Some, for, instance, | say they were just starting in bus- | iness, Firm XYZ, trying to. determine lits average earnings in. those pre- Korean years, can choose any |three of the four. Naturally, it [selects the three most prosperous years to make ‘its . post-Korean profits. as low, or unexcessive, as | Possible over its pre-Korean prof- its. XYZ's earnings in 1946 were $100,000 but $200,000 a yéar from 1947 through 1949. So it chose |those three years—in this case | $200,000 a year—as its average | pre-Korean earnings. | But the law doesn’t let a firm lelaim the full ave age, only 85 jper cent. In XYZ's case, 85 per jeent of $200,000 is $170,000 which | is then called the pfe-Korean av- 000 earnings in 1952 were an ex- cess of $130,000 cver its $170,000 pre-Korean average. At this point the law says XYZ can pay 30 per jcent of that $130,000 excess. Re- sulting EPT: $39,000. Adding the $39,000 EPT to the regular tax of $150,500 on its $300,000 earnings in }1952, XYZ’s. total tax becomes | $189,500, or $15,000 cheaper than under method No, 1. Most firms use method No. 2 be- cause it happens to work out best for most. Some use still a third jmethod when it gives an even | lower tax. Method No, 3—This is based on} invested capital. Say firm XYZ had two million dollars invested in | jits plant at the beginning of the} year. r the law XYZ takes 12 pe of the two million dol lars, s $240,000, This is calle ts credit, or meney that can be ceducted from } a firm’s earnings before it can be, hit, | BYZ deducts the $240,000: from jits 1952 earnings of $300,000. Re-| sult: $60,000. Then XYZ applies 30; per cent to the $60,000, giving it} jan excess profits tax of only $18,-} 000. It adds the $18,000 EPT to its | lar tax of $150,300.

Each cell of the body contains chromosomes, the neckla ped structures carry- ing the genes or units of heredity. There’s a difference between the male and female chromosomes in any cell, Male cells contain two chromosomes of unequal length. In females, the sex chromosomes ! form an identical pair. ' Dr. T. C, Hsu, an associate of Dr. Pomerat, discovered a way of | making tightly - packed chromo- somes inside a cell separate, so they can be seen clearly, and be counted and examined. Hsu found the chromosomes will spread out if there is no, or little salt in the fluid which is added to cells to keep them ali A look at chromosomes in skin or bone-marrow cells can then tell a surgeon whether he should remove the ovary of testis of the doubtful-sex baby to make the child a complete boy or complete girl, to give the infant the best chance for a happy, normal life.
