Monday through Friday, Saturday by 1 p.m. Wednesday, November 8, 1961 THOUGHT CONTROL The other day a man canceled fais subscription to a newspaper because its editor had upheld the public's right to choose what it shall read. This was nok the defecting subscriber's view of the matter; he accused the editor of defending an obscene book. But this was not what the editor had done. He had written that an illegal attempt to halt sale of the book had violated a fundamental liberty.

The editor and we say this in humble awareness that editors may be just as fallible as other men -was on solid ground in this case. The incident illustrates a point of vital importance in a free society. As ft happened, the book whose attempted suppression by police had started the ball rolling was Henry Miller's controversial novel, "Tropic of Cancer."

We have not disagreed with the broker that the stocks are probably overpriced now and that there are more attractive investments for us. But whenever we have come up against a decision on sale, my iiisband particularly has been re uctant to cash in and pay a capi tal gains tax of 25 per cent on so large a part of our nestegg. The results is that we have done nothing.

We are "locked in" with these stocks and are likely to remain so. Our money isn't turning over, is not available to us for reinvestment. Our profits are on paper, thus not bringing a penny in taxes to the U.S. Treasury. It's a static situation and.

(All Rights Reserved) Ann Answers by Ann Hall sonal tale today is that this afternoon the New York Stock Exchange is releasing the results of an independent study which dramatically underlines the extent to which a reduction in the capital gains tax rate would impel investors to unlock their portfolios, and by so doing hand over to the Treasury a bigger chunk of taxes on their profits, as well as getting cash for reinvestment in ventures that would stimulate the economy's expansion. The study was made by Louis Harris Associates, the research organization which President Kennedy used- with such startling success to guide him during the election primaries and campaign. Its findings are highly favorable for a cut in the tax rate. But after reviewing how Call Off Search For Lansing Man KAYCEE, Wyo.

Last week he brought home a badly tarnished vase which he found in one of the refuse cans. He said he thought it looked pretty good and maybe I could clean it up.

I spent about two hours scrubbing and polishing it and the vase turned out to be truly beautiful. I noticed some markings on the bottom and took the vase to an antique dealer and he bffered to buy it for $300. I refused to sell it because I was thrilled to own something so lovely. Now my conscience is bothering me. My husband remembers the house where he picked it up.

Do you think he has a moral obligation to return the vase? UNEASY Dear Uneasy: Trash cans are for unwanted articles. The condition of the vase is evidence that the owner attached no importance to it.

By David Boroff ed legally obscene in the light of pertinent court decisions, the Post Office Department recently permitted it to be mailed more than a quarter of century after first publication abroad. But all this is, in a sense, neither here nor there. The editor, pointing out that arbitrary police censorship without due legal process could not be tolerated, was not specifically defending "Tropic oi Cancer." He did not, in fact, publish any judgment of the book. What he did was to insist that no publication can properly be banned until the courts have declared it obscene on the basis of statutes not in conflict with the Constitution. Anything short of that is a step toward thought control.

And thought control is, as history has demonstrated many times, the arch enemy of democratic government. BALANCING RELATIONS In recent months there has been growing evidence that Canadian criticism of various aspects of U.S policy, and certain unattractive facets of life below the border, has lodged itself in U.S. consciousness Articles have appeared in popu lar magazines probing the reasons (Guest Editorial) NONSENSE!

As an antidote, John Holmes, a former high-placed official in Canada's External Affairs Department, has told Americans that the sense of partnership and common purpose between the two countries is greater today than it has ever been.

Though this may seem like an exaggeration, it is possibly close to the truth. Canada today, better informed about U.S. affairs than ever before, is usually willing to acknowledge wise U.S. leadership. The fact that there may be some pretty frequent criticism does not mean Canadians have turned against the United States, but merely that we expect our gooc neighbors to live up to their own best ideals.

If this is evidence of a hypocritical and Pharisaical attitude, at extreme adversity of sectional struggle, the observance assumes importance. But caution in reviewing the events of 1861-5 is equally important, possibly more so How much respect for the truth will be blighted by urge for the tourist dollar? How many of these battles and skirmishes will be staged as the local citizenry would wish them to have been fought, rather than as they were?

Canadians would have a more balanced view if they showed more interest in other aspects of U.S.-Canadian relations. The only university school devoted to these relations is located places for two burglars to enter, and then shared in the proceeds. The burglaries were perpetrated between 1946 and 1953 and were discounted in 1953 "when they (the policemen) realized just what they were doing and what it could lead to if they continued." In the face of these facts.

Shiawassee County Prosecutor Norman Van Epps has asserted the 18,000 residents of Owosso have only themselves to blame for the conditions which led up to policemen committing the very kind of crimes for which they were hired to pro tect the citizens against. Van Epps says the people Owosso are to blame for this cond tion because of low pay for police men. Though many people may agree that police pay is too low most of them will disagree, in ou opinion, with the idea that inade quate pay is justification for cor rupting the trust placed in them as guardians of the public interest Neither the citizens of Owosso nor those in any other community should expect their public servants to work at a sub-standard rate of pay. Although their wages should not top the prevailing rates in a given community, neither should those rates be at the bottom of the ladder.

It all started when the National Park Service became alarmed that the natural shoreline available tu the general public was rapidly disappearing and so conducted a survey which concluded that only five would increase more than five times. When the Harris organization applied the sample results to total individual holdings of stocks at the start of I960, it came up with this: At a 20 per cent tax maximum, unlocked capital would have jumped from S15.8 billion to 545 billion and the Treasury's take would have climbed from SI.4 bilion under the current tax to around $2.6 billion.

At a 12 per cent tax maximum, unlocked capital would have skyrocketed from $15.8 billion to S78 billion and the Treasury's haul would have risen from $1.4 billion to $2.9 billion. It sounds almost too pat and yet, an examination of the way Harris approached the survey indicates the firm leaned over backwards to be conservative.
