Articles Inform Public Os Services Os Lawyer

LEGALLY SPEAKING (This article is one in a series of 30 by the Adams county bar association pre* sented as a public service by the Decatur Daily Democrat to inform the public of the point <jut various problems services of the lawyer and to which might arise when competent legal advice is not obtained. These articles are not intended to answer individual problems which require specific, advice.) GAIN FROM HOME SALE ' John Brown sold his home on July 16, 1952, for $20,000, arid is now living in a rented apartment. He paid $12,000 for his residence in 1946, therefore, he made a profit of SB,OOO. Since' he has owned his home for over six months, it is considered, for federal income tax purposes, a long-term capital gain, only 50 per cent of which is taxable. This means $4,000 will have to be added to his other income for 1952. However, under certain circumstances, even the federal income tax on this $4,000 may be post- . poned and perhaps avoided alto- | gether: If Brown purchases anothi er residence for $20,000 or more before July 9, 1953, no part of the gain will be taxed. If he pays only SIB,OOO for the new residence, he will have a gain of $2,000, of which SI,OOO is taxed. The law provides that if anyone, sells his residence after January 1, 1951, and purchases within 18 months of the date of sale or builds Discount Theory Os Monoxide Poisoning Doubt Poisoning Is Fatal To 44 WASHINGTON <UP> — Aviation sources discounted today a theory that carbon monoxide poisoning knocked out the crew of a PanArnerican World Airways Stratocruiser which ..crashed in the Pacific Nov. 8, killing. 44 persons. The theory arose from the discovery that bodies of 14 of the 19 victims recovered from the wa,i ter showed high carbon monoxide : content. | A Civil Aeronautics Board safety engineer suggested at a San i Francisco hearing Thursday the •deadly fumes rft'ay have come ! from. smouldering motion picture film in a forward cargo compartment. Poison Found in Pilot He said large amounts of car-! i bon monoxide were found in the ; bodies of one pilot and passengers lin the forward tourist compart- : ment. The body of a stewardess, : who presumably would be in the > rear of the plane, showed little 1 carbon monoxide content. But experts here said the carbon monoxide theory appeared to be ‘‘just some guessing.” They pointed out: 1. Most bodies were found wearing lifejackets, indicating the victims had warning of an impendmg emergency Carbon monoxide fumes are odorless. Film Fumes Less Toxic 2 Modern motion picture safety film has a cellulose acetate base which makes it extremely hard to ignite. Even if such film did smoulder, according to cherriical experts here, it would not give off carbon monoxide but, a far less toxic gas. Old-type movie film when ignited gives off pois» onous fumes called oxides of nitrogen. not carbon monoxide. 3. The carbon monoxide contents found in some bodies could oe explained by smoke inhalation, coming from an in-flight fire. Yet there was no evidence of such fire and it was pointed out that if the plane was ablaze, the crew could have radioed that information.

a new residence there is no gain unless the new residence costs less than the amount received from of the old residence. If the new residence does cost less, then the difference between the sale-price of the old residence is considered to be a capital gain, one-half of which is taxable. The reason for this provision is that the taxpayer has merely substituted one home for another and should not be taxed, except to the extent of the .cash left over after buying or building his new home. If, on March 15, 1953, when John Brown files his 1952 tax return, he has not purchased a new home, and is undecided whether or not he will buy or build a new home, he should sjill fill out separate schedule D and attach it to his tax return. However, in column 8, headed “Gain or Loss" he should pay "None.” Then, when he does buy a new residence before the expiration of one year, which is July 9, 1953, he should advise the director of internal revenue in writing as to the cost of his new residence. If the cost exceeds the proceeds of the sale of the old residence, he wiH have no tax to pay. 4 However, if he has a tax to.-paj’ because he did not use all oNthe proceeds from the sale of his old residence, he must file an amended return for 1952, showing the amount of tax due, and pay such tax at once. Since any additional tax due will bear interest at 6 per cent from March 15, 1953, he should pay such additional tax, if any, and interest as soon as the amount thereof is known.
