Business, Banks , * Aid Tax Payments

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The government reported today that its drive to get people to pay income tax pn dividends and interest is getting a big assist from corporations and savings institutions. The campaign, on for several months, was announced today by Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Dana Latham. He said the effort was two-sided, with the main emphasis on educating taxpayers and a secondary purpose of providing closer scrutiny of tax returns. The IRS estimated the government loses 500 million dollars a year in taxes on unreported dividends and interest. Other estimates have ranged as high as one billion dollars. Firms Respond A key weapon in the drive is IRS Form 5219, a reminder to taxpayers that dividends and interest are as taxable as wages and salaries. The service has asked corporations, banks and savings associations to send each stockholder or depositor a copy vorirr. op mrrtixo A mretlnK of the owners of of Decatur Cemetery Association will be held at the Cemetery Office, West Monroe Street, Decatur, Indiana at 7:do p.tn.

11 •of the notice at the end of the year. These firms have responded “remarkably well,” an IRS spokesman told United Press International. An initial printing of 10 million copies of Form 5219 has been increased to 35 million copes and the IRS may ask for five million more. In addition, firms have requested and received permission to reprint Form 5219 themselves. Some, shying away from the form because it mentions “enforcement action.” are preparing a reminder of their own. Much Goes T’nreported Officials acknowledged that the IRS was meeting with less success in its request that corporations and thrift institutions send stockholders and depositors a year-end tally of how much they received in dividends or interest Many firms have said the IRS did not make the request early enough in the year. Still others are unwilling to undertake the expense of making such individual talliesThe IRS estimated that nearly five billion dollars of dividends and interest go unreported each year. It said a major reason is that people don't know this income is taxable. This is especially true in the case of interest which is credited to savings accounts and not withdrawn. Such income is just as taxable as a cash payment.

Two More Ships Are Victims Os Atlantic Storm LONDON (UPI) — One of the worst Atlantic storms in memory sank two more vessels today and left scores of fishing boats in distress from Gibraltar to the Arctic. The storm was in its fifth tempestuous day. It left European seas almost deserted of smaller vessels while officials counted up to 130 lives lost on land and sea. But for the first time since Sunday, reports from coastal areas indicated an abatement in the fierceness of the storm. It was only on the seas that gale winds and squalls continued without let-up. The storm-buffeted British ship “Janet Helen” early today sprang a leak in its engine room and was abandoned to sink off the Holland coast. All crew members were rescued from lifeboats by the ship "Warduke” standing byTwo ships, the German “Brunswick” and the Dutch, 421-ton coast vessel "Flamingo” collided on the River Elbe in Holland and the Flamingo went down. Its five crewmen were picked up from a lifeboat by the coastal vessel “Ali ” At least five Danish fishing cutters were in trouble in the north sea off Esbjerg, Dehmark, and it was feared 20 men aboard them might lose their lives. Even Britain’s 83,673-ton liner Queen Elizabeith, the biggest afloat, was buffeted by the towering waves and 60-mile winds which shattered portholes, set off the automatic sprinkling system and injured several passengers, The Elizabeth arrived 37 hours late Wednesday on the New YorkSouthampton run. Uphold Conviction Of Kokomo Slayer INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Supreme Court, in a 4-to-l decision, today upheld the conviction of Elijah Cook, 48, Kokomo, now serving a life term in the state prison for second-degree murder. A Howard Circuit Court jury found Cook guilty on murder and manslaughter charges in the knife slaying of Sarah Shanklin, Kokomo, on Sept. 8. 1950. The court sentenced Cook to life on the murder charge and 2-to-21 years on the manslaughter chargeIn his appeal, Cook contended the verdicts were inconsistent in that second-degree murder required malice and manslaughter did not. The high court noted that the lower court set aside the mainslaughter conviction in 1954 and said that action made Cook’s appeal “purely hypothetical and moot.” Judge Harold Achor filed a dissenting opinion in which he said the offenses for which Cook was convicted were “mutually incompatible and cannot exist concurrently.” “It seems clear to me that the court having specifically found that the homicide was committed without malice, the defendant could not also be sentenced a crime in which malice was a necessary element,” Achor said. “Under such circumstances the law must apply that penalty which is most favorable to the accused.” Achor also said the Howard Circuit Court had no authority to set aside the manslaughter conviction. .▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Unique Art Exhibit At Women’s Prison By HORTENSE MYERS United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Spectators have difficulty getting in to see a unique art exhibit here this week, and the artists can't get • out. The exhibit is the first ever held ! by inmates at the Indiana Women’s Prison. The 40 paintings on display are the work of seven women who are serving terms ranging- from a few months to life. The class was formed last May and some of the students have i been taking part for a shorter time than that. As originally arranged, the exhibit was to close Friday, but Supt. Dorothy Gardner said the paintings will remain in their places until after Dec. 15. A group of 50 Indiana parole officers will visit the exhibit that day. With Talent In addition, three Indianapolis artists who were among the opening day spectators said they hoped to arrange an exhibit outside the ' prison for the art class. The three —Mrs. Vesta DePaul, Mrs. Letha Gaskins and Miss Ruth Anderson, | all of Indianapolis—were delegated 1 by the Indiana Artists Club to at- | tend the exhibit when Mrs. Gardner asked for a committee of •‘outside” talent to evaluate the work done inside the double-fenced institution. The three artists were enthusI iastic about the caliber of the talen shown in he display. But to this non-arist, the most remarkable thing about the exhibit was . the ability of Mrs. Ella Jo Mobley, the inmate art instructor, to ’ awaken creaive ability in her six . studentsj Mrs. Mobley, serving a life , term, is an art student herself and is transmitting to the stud- . ents in her class the knowledge ’ she gains from a correspondence course. Mrs. Mobley paid for he correspondence course out of her own limited funds and offered to teach other inmates what she learned. The class was formed seven months ago and meets twice a week. It has been handicapped by lack of materials with which to work, since state funds do not provide such “extras” at the prison. Makeshift Frames Shortages of easels, paints and other supplies were topped by lack of another essential to presenting an adequate art exhibit —frames for the pictures. Supt. Gardner appealed to Indianapolis Goodwill Industries, but no frames were available. Finally officers at the prison bought leftover molding from a building project and the art students made their own frames, at the cost of a few splinters and bruised thumbs. In the life of the institution, the art class comes under the heading of recreation, something the seven women do after other daily assignments are completed. But in the words of Mrs. Mobley, the discipline and self-expres-sion of art study is “a sincere and constructive effort toward rehabilitation of women who will one day return to society as better citizens with your help and encouragement.” Mrs. Mobiley, formerly of Terre Haute, was sentenced on a sec-ond-degree murder charge in the death of her daughter at the hands of her sweetheart. Camembert cheese is named for a village in Normandy, France. It was invented by Marie Harel, who supposedly popularized the cheese by presenting a samble to Emperor Napoleon 111.
