Will the political loan tax loophole be closed
A Hartford Courant piece argues lawmakers must close a tax loophole that allows loans to political committees to be deducted as bad debts, noting the New York Democratic State Central Committee loans and a Bureau of Internal Revenue ruling. The piece urges decisive action to prevent funding campaigns at taxpayers’ expense. It also cites a Waterbury American item on tax implications of new tobacco substitutes and a Montréal device that weighs breath, ending with a grammar quip about the phrase I have got enough money being incorrect.

Developments in Europe belie Acheson's optimistic statement
Washington, May 30. Acheson, Bonn and Paris treaties were greeted with mixed optimism as diplomats spoke of unity while eyeing deep European fault lines. Adenauer shared a stolid smile as Schuman and Eden spoke, and voters in Italy, France, and Britain reflected disillusion with rearmament and NATO.
