Page 8/The Battalion/Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Community continued from page 1 Other topics covered by Piwonka were billing dates (the dates differ for different sec tions of town), how to read an electrical meter, how to calculate an electrical bill, the power cost adjustment and the approxi mate costs of running different household appliances. Among the literature she dis tributed was an extensive list of household appliances and how much they cost to run. For example: an air condi tioner costs an average of $26 a month, a refrigerator — $7 to $10 a month, a color television — $1 to $3, and a radio — less than $1. Peggy Calliham, coordinator of the brown bag seminars, said that with the seminars, “the city hopes to open up lines of com munication with its citizens a in a positive manner, try approach any problems that can be solved.” Calliham said that other topics to be considered for later seminars are the upcoming city bond election, the viability establishing a youth center and how to save on home energy costs.

The 5-3 ruling upheld a Cali fornia law — similar to laws in 22 other states — that calls for taxa tion of that portion of the overall income of a corporation and its foreign subsidiaries attributable to the parent company’s opera tions within state boundaries. Writing for the court, Justice William Brennan said double taxation — as the corporations claim — is permissible, and re jected claims it invites retaliation by foreign nations against U.S. companies abroad. Corporations had argued such taxation is unfair because they should not have to pay state taxes on income earned abroad by foreign subsidiaries. But the states maintain it prevents giant firms from avoiding taxes by shuffling profits among sub sidiaries. A total of 23 states have Cali fornia’s method of taxing multi national corporations, including Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illi nois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Kansas, Ken tucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, New Mexico, West Virginia and Oklahoma. The National Governors’ Association said numerous : .. other hard-pressed states aw ited the outcome to decidf whether to enact such a coi rate tax. The Multistate Tax Comi sion estimates the prohibitii inclusion of foreign subsidiaria in such a tax formula wouldcosi states at least $625 million year. ta» )| The corporate double tion argument found three vote in the Supreme Court. Writing for the dissenters, Justice Le« msi Powell said California “i a tax that is flatly inconsistea with federal policy.

It was delivered a day after Reagan told cheering Polish Americans in Chicago that “no one could crush the spirit of the Polish people. “I urge the Polish authorities to translate the restraint they showed during the papal visit into willingness to move toward reconciliation rather than con frontation with the Polish peo ple,” Reagan said. PAP, the Polish news agency, said the speech was unworthy of a leader of a country maintain ing diplomatic relations with Po land and constitutes another glaring example of interference in Polish internal affairs. “In the opinion of the Polish government, that speech fully confirms that the intention of the present U.S. administration is to strive to keep up at all costs tension in Poland,” PAP said. The official protest charged Reagan’s speech exploited inter nal tensions in Poland in order to justify United States arms policies. United Press International MOSCOW — Leaders of the Warsaw Pact will gather in Mos cow today for a summit meeting devoted to political and military issues, East European sources said Monday. There was no official announcement, but Romanian leader Nocolae Ceaucescu was seen in a motorcade driving in from the airport, and Hunga rian leader Janos Kadar was ex pected later in the day. The gathering was expected to include Communist Party leaders and defense ministers of the East-bloc military alliance, along with Marshal Uiktor Kuli- kow, commander-in-chief of the Warsaw Pact, the sources said. The leaders were expected to issue a statement endorsing the Soviet Union’s position against the deployment of American rockets on the continent, which is scheduled to begin later this year.

He also said motorists who observe drunken drivers should report them to the nearest police agency. Additional troopers will be utilized statewide on appropri ate roads and highways in an effort to cut down on traffic fatalities, Adams said. United Press International Tel Aviv, Israel — Israel is in the second year of war in Leba non, doctors are in the fourth month of a strike, inflation pushes prices up half a percen tage point a day — and one in four Israelis goes abroad for a vacation. “It’s a classic case of an eco nomy supplying guns and but ter,” a Western economic analyst said. In the first five months of the year, Israelis bought 40,737 new cars, meaning one in 70 Israelis bought a new vehicle — at a cost of more than $10,000 each. In all, there are 700,000 autos around the country. Almost two-thirds of households have a car, as many as those who own color televisions. About 700,000 Israelis are going abroad this year, accord ing to the Association of Travel Agents. They are expected to spend $198 billion during their travels, about half the annual U.S. economic and military aid package to the Jewish state. The paradox of plenty amid a costly war and an economy showing no real growth is ex plained by an often overlooked statistic: Israel is the sixth year of Menachem Begin’s brand of conservative rule. After 29 years of Labor party rule, Begin’s Likud party, reject ing socialist central planning, has put money in people’s pock ets and removed straints on spending it. “I knew how it was here under Lee,” said a veteran observer. “People were ashamed when they bought anything, thinking they were hurting the country. “You couldn’t buy dollars. You couldn’t do anything. You needed permission for every thing. It was gloomsville. People are now happy for the first time,” he said. The government provides hefty subsidies to purchasers of U.S. dollars and other foreign currencies. Adding to a recent International Monetary Fund report the real value of the Israeli Shekee should be 19 cents, instead of the current 20 cents.
