By Rosette Hargrove PARIS - (NEA) - In a world of uncertainty, at least one thing is perfectly clear, to at least some people: Jupiter will be responsible for much trouble in the air. A congress of astrologers meeting here has unanimously foretold that horoscopes were going to be as bad as bad can be by the end of the 20th century. They — all 150 of them from all over the world — did, however, reassure that this did not necessarily mean a third world war. There are other pointers. By 1990, Jupiter, the symbol of prosperity, will diametrically oppose the other heavenly bodies grouped around the sun. And the sun will then be in the house of Capricorn, which rules economic and political life. The 1974 astrologers’ con gress met to discuss not only the future of the world but of their profession. Also they Lopez tax increases stagger Colombians By PENNY LERNOUX Copley News Service BOGOTA, Colombia — Practically no one in Latin America can understand all the fuss made in the United States about income taxes. Most Latins are allergic to the tax collector and nobody in his right mind would file an hon est tax return. Any company that can af ford the extra accountants keeps two sets of books. Prob ably most Latins pay no in come tax at all; they don’t earn enough. Those who do, but who are not too ostenta tious, rarely get caught up, unless they have to travel abroad and need a tax certifi cate to obtain a passport and VOTE for Dan Boyd Post 7 Griffin Spalding County Board Os Education Tuesday, Nov. 26th (Paid Political Adv.) hoped to establish in the mind of the public the fact that they bear no relationship whatsoever to the multitude of soothsayers, crystal ball gazers, palm readers and other diviners. They believe, on the con trary, that theirs is a definite science based on the study of astronomy, mathematics and the figuring of probabilities. Like all involved in science, they do not pretend to be infallible foretellers of the future. They look upon themselves as meteorologues of history or “historical meteorologues.” Discussing the prediction concerning Jupiter, one of the experts explained: “In simple terms, this could mean that capitalism as it is known today could come to an end.” The well-known 84-year old Belgian astrologist Gustave Lambert Brahy, who has specialized in financial predictions and is often con sulted by the great and mighty of this world, says: an exit permit. Even then, in most coun tries, such certificates can be purchased for a modest sum. So it is that considerable at tention is being focused on Co lombia’s new president, Al fonso Lopez Michelsen and his sweeping new tax reform de cree. Within weeks of taking of fice in August, Lopez invoked a never-used 1968 law and de clared a 45-day economic emergency that permitted the government to decree a sweeping tax reform. Lopez claims that the budget deficit, now |923 million but which will rise to nearly $2 billion in 1975, is the chief cause of in flation, currently running at 22 per cent or more a year. Without new taxes, said Lo pez, the government would not be able to pay the nation’s teachers or the armed forces. Taking a page from U.S. textbooks, Lopez not only in creased taxes to 30-56 per cent for incomes in the upper brackets, but also slapped stiff new sales taxes of up to 35 per cent on a wide range of consumer goods from autos to soap, stoves, liquor and kero sene. Hardly a murmur has been heard against the revised in come tax schedules. After all, it still is possible to cheat on personal returns, no matter what percentage the govern ment sets. Sales taxes are something else again as the tax inspector has only to go down to the as sembly plant to find out how many units are being pro duced. So to checkmate the wily Colombians, Lopez de creed that the tax be paid by the producer. Trying to keep track of the accounting procedures of thousands of small shopkeep ers would be impossible and unproductive, as the govern ment knows. The howls of outrage were not long in coming. Everyone from soap entrepreneurs to leather goods manufacturers have taken full-page adver tisements in the local press to complain that the new sales tax will bankrupt them. The poorer classes are com- “This concentration of the planets means a grave crisis, that’s for sure. What form will it take? I cannot tell. We can determine critical periods, but cannot fill in the details. We are not prophets. Anyhow, according to the po sition of the planets, I believe this might mean a civilization crisis, the end of capitalism, for example. I can also see wars and revolutions in Asia and South America. Certain signs might also mean a world cataclysm, like the dis appearance of part of a conti nent.” In the course of their meet ings, the astrologers pointed to a very strong indicator that surely went unnoticed by the average man. During the last two decades of this cen tury the planets will draw to gether in precisely the same configuration as existed at the time of the first and sec ond world wars. This does not necessarily mean that the timorous should start think ing in terms of atom-bomb shelters. plaining, too. Although food stuffs are exempted from tax ation, the corner grocer has used the new taxes as an ex cuse to up the price of any number of items, from eggs to eggplants. But the worst blow of all is the 40-cent increase on a bot tle of aguardiente, known as “nectar,” the local firewater which millions of Colombians guzzle Sundays and holidays to blot out their problems. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★A Convicted MELBOURNE, Australia (UPI) — Two undertakers who fought over who should carry the heavy end of a coffin were convicted Thursday of assault against each other. A suburban court was told Mendel Kacew and Sziomo Kurdish got into a fist fight at the Chevra Kudisha funeral parlor Sept. 15 after one of them claimed the other always forced him to carry “the heavy part” of the bodies. The two men said they had worked at the funeral parlor for about six years and were always arguing. I Theme: “Calvary Shall Not Be In Vain!” I i world I 1 MINISTRY ! CONVENTION !

But to quote him: “The universe achieves equilibrium when the planets are harmoniously grouped around the sun and the earth. Unfortunately, we are on the threshold of an exceptional configuration and from 1983 on we shall live the most cri tical years of this century. It would mean an intense crisis and perhaps the dawning of a new society.” As to the president of the association, 64-year-old Pierre Colombet, he con firmed that he, too, believed in an unavoidable crisis gen erated by widespread im poverishment affecting, in particular, the younger gen erations and the Asian peo ple. All the same, he added this comforting though some what enigmatical note: “I am an innate optimist.” (NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN I 1 TRAGIC is how long-time New York Philharmonic conductor Leonard Bern stein termed the policy of Chinese authorities telling their people that all western classical music is “bad because it was writ ten in bourgeois coun tries.” Bernstein made his comments during a tour of Japan.
