Seek Share Os Payola Income

WASHINGTON <UPD — The International Revenue Service (IRS) is out to get its "share” of payola. _’ . __ Agents around the country are giving extra attention to the income tax returns of disc jockeys and others who may have been “forgetting” *to tell Uncle Sam about their sideline sources of income. IRS headquarters assigned an agent from its intelligence division to attend payola hearings before the House Legislative Oversight subcommittee this week. The House group has been questioning disc jockeys about under-the-table payments of gifts from record companies. Taking Cleeer Look Whether in cash, new cars, vacations. trips or anything else of value, such income is as fully taxable as salary. A second tax agent has been detailed to coordinate the revenue service’s efforts to keep track of unreported payola. He sifts the information gathered at the hearings and decides to which of the 61 IRS district- offices it should be forwarded. Agents in the field already have begun taking a closer look at payola, according to IRS sources. These sources emphasized that the service is not launching a major drive or crackdown on disc jockeys. . Other Types Noted But whenever a new form of possible tax dodging comes to light agents “are prompted to do more in that area by the pressures of public attention,” one of-

Warships, Planes Seeking Submarine BUENOS AIRES (UPl)—Twelve warships and 30 air force planes swept the Nuevo Gulf today, under orders to seek, strike and destroy the Communist submarine believed to be lurking in its depths. A planeload of modern depth charges was on the way from the United States to increase the striking power of the Argentine task force. It was not certain how soon it would arrivePresident Arturo Frondizi ordered the navy Thursday to destroy "any warship found in territorial waters.” He also instructed the Foreign Minister to break relations at once with the country owning the submarine. A high government source told UPI Thursday night that the submarine believed to be trapped in the Nuevo Gulf definitely does not belong to any nation in the Western Hemisphere. He said that it might come from any of four Communist nations — Russia, Poland, East Germany or Red China. Reports reaching here said a second submarine spotted outside the gulf, apparently hoping to assist the one trapped inside, had been driven out of Argentine territorial waters. * ’ Observers wondered whether the sub’s crew would follow the example set by German navy men in two wars and scuttle their ship rather than surrender. The submarine has been picked up by Argentine naval search * gear off and on for two weeks* It is believed to have been attacked several times, but there was nothing to indicate it has been damaged.

ficial commented. While paying for plugging records may be comparatively new, other types of "payola” are old stuff to the tax men. Agents have been aware for years that purchasing agents and buyers often are tempted with a flash of cash to throw their order one way instead of another. In 1954, a township commissioner in Pennsylvania was convicted of failing to include on his tax return the SB,OOO that helped him to decide which kind of fire engine the township wanted to buy. He was sentenced to two years in prison. Jep Cadou And Wife Slugged And Robbed INDIANAPOLIS <UPI> -The dean of Indiana's political WTiters. Eugene J. <Jep) Cadou, and his wife, Ruth, were slugged and robbed on the Statehouse lawn early today by three men. Mr. and Mrs. Cadou had attended a weekly Thursday night party at the Indianapolis Press Club and had started to return to their oar on the Statehouse parking lot. Cadou's glasses were broken and his eye was cut. His nose was swollen. Cadou was robbed of S6B and Mrs. Cadou’s purse was taken. Mrs. Cadou was struck on the head. Cadou, a filed representative and political writer for United Press International in Indiana, was knocked to the ground. A passing cab driver hailed a police car, and two Army photographers from Fort Harrison took the Cadous to St. Vincent’s hospital where they were treated and released. . Mrs. Cadou said they saw the three men in the brightly lighted parking lot and suspected their intentions. They turned and tried to get away but were attacked before they could flee.

Money Bill Is Approved

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The House Appropriations Committee today approved money bill to run the Interior Department and a batch of related agencies that was almost 7 per cent above their current budget—and apologized for not giving them more. The committee voted approval. of a $543,375,600 interior appropriation, $6,954,700 less than President Elsenhower requested for thei fiscal year starting July 1 but $34,722,347 more than the amount appropriated for the current government bookkeeping year. In a report accompanying the bill, the committee said it was concerned that it could not recommend "the considerably higher appropriations that could be prof-

Sub Zero Cold Wave Tightens Midwest Grip By United Press International A sub-zero cold wave today tightened its grip on the weatherbattered Midwest, still digging out from a destructive storm that killed more than 50 persons on its marauding trip from California to the Great Lakes. For the second consecutive day, the temperature dropped to below zero in parts of Minnesota and North Dakota. Readings near zero were common throughout the Midwest in the wake of winter's deadliest storm. A United Press International count listed 54 deaths since the storm roared out of the Pacific last weekend and lashed California with torrential rains and 40 foot ocean waves There were 18 dead in Wisconsin, 8 in lowa, 7 in Illinois, 6 in Michigan, 4 in Nebraska, 3 each in Texas, California and Kansas, and 2 in Arkansas. — Road crews were near collapse and snow plows broke down from the long battle against a snowfall that reached 25 inches in some communities. Milwaukee, hit by the second worst storm in its history; called for volunteers to dig out fire hydrants buried by 12 foot drifts. City officials were fearful the hydrants couldn't be found in time if a fire broke out. Police and sheriff’s officers in southeast Wisconsin answered dozens of pleas for help in getting sick and injured persons to hospitals. Small foreign cars all but disappeared under the mountainous drifts. One snow plow dug into what appeared to be a mound of snow and badly damaged a small sports car. Most main ' highways in the storm’s track were reopened Thursday, but hundreds of fural roads remained snow clogged. The storm, which caused damage estimated in the millions of dolars, blew itself out over Canada. Only a few snow flurries were expected today in Michigan and parts of New England and New York state. Occasional rain was forecast in the Pacific Northwest and along the Gulf coasts. Elsewhere, skies were clear to partly cloudy.

itably expended,” particularly on such activities as national forests, parks and other public lands. f But it said this was impossible due to "the serious fiscal situation now facing the nation.” For the Interior Department, the committee granted $358,628,,000, some $4,138,000 less than the request. The rest of the money in the bill would go to agencies rang-, lilng from the Civ! War Centennial Commission to the Smithsonian Institution. The committee approved without a change Eisenhower’s $116,817,000 request for the Interior Department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. Likewise, the Bureau of Mines budget of $29,656,000 was unchanged. ”

Voice Optimism Russia Will Eventually Accept New Weapons Test Ban

Rotarians Told Os Life-Saving Drugs The lives of two million Ameri-j cans have been saved by the sulfa j and antibiotic drugs in the last 20 ( < years. Carroll F. Wells of Lima. Ohio, medical service represent.)-1 tive for Laboratories in this area, told the Decatur Rotary Club at its weekly meeting! Thursday evening at the Decatur | Youth and Community Center., Louis Jacobs introduced the, speaker, and spoke briefly about the recent Kefauver hearings. "With today’s antibiotics, deaths from pneumonia are rare,” Wells I explained, "and the average cost, of treating the illness is less than SIOO, compared with about SI,OOO prior to antibiotics.” [ Jacobs said that the fantastic profits spoken about at the ICe-j fauver hearings were actually unfair and untrue statements because they deliberately omitted the cost of research, processing,] packaging, advertising, etc. “It is like computing the coat of the crude pig iron in a Cadillac and saying it should sell for the cost of that—raw material alone,”, Jacobs commented. The Lederle representative said that the drug industry spends mil-1 lions of dollars for research to develop new drugs. Research in] 1960 alone will exceed $200,000,000. j “Np other industry spends such a| ( bis part of its income on re-[| search,’’, the speaker said. "Tto. is 7% of sales compared with for industry in general.” He point- , ed out that the United States now . leads the entire world in new drug development. He illustrated by saying that out of every 2.000 compounds developed by the pharmaceutical industry only an average of three become useful compounds. Despite rising research and other costs, he said that “the price index of prescription drugs has risen only 37% over the past.2o years. This compares with a 96/c < increase for all items on the cost of living index. In addition, these newer drugs have been an important factor in -increasing life expectancv which is about 70 years today in the United States, compared with 49 years in 1900.’ "Orphan children are rare today,” he said. "A generation ago there were at least 800.000 orphans, with both parents dead. Today l with a larger total population, there are less than 90.000. Also the number of people over 100 years old is increasing each year with over 7.000 alive today.” William Smail, of Central Soya, was introduced as a new Rotarian. President 1 ' H. P. Schmitt, Jr., said that next week’s meeting will be a ladles night, with Miss Clara Klomp of Fort Wayne, showing her unique collection of the many styles in ready-to-wear, millinery, and accessories of nearly 100 years ago. through the "gay nineties era.” Miss Klomp was a milliner for 50 years and began her collection in 1955, which she has shown almost 100 times to delighted audiences of both men and women. "My collection was started as a hobby but it has now reached back so many years with the help of friends who wish to have me preserve and exhibit their prize costumes,” Miss Klomp says. She will narrate the style show and Rotarians wives will model the garments.

French Extremist Arrested By Police I PARIS (UPl>—Police today ari rested the former leader of the ; once-powerful "green shirts" extremist movement who they said took part in anti-government riots by French farmers in Amiens. The arrest of Henri Dorgeres a former National Assembly deputy served notice that the government !of President Charles de Gaulle would crack down hard on any : trouble makers. At least 122 persons were In- ; jured in the pitched battles in Amiens Thursday between police and firemen and farmers opposed to de Gaulle’s farm program. Before the riots started Dorgeres tried to address the rally of farmers called by the National Farmers Federation (FNSEA) but was refused permission by FNSEA President Joseph Courau. Dorgeres was arrested in his Paris home in a pre-dawn raid. He was charged with assault and battery during the three-hour rioting in Amiens in northern France. Press reports said Dorgeres was in the thick of the mob which tied to storm the Amiens prefecture at the height of the violence. About 30000 to 35000 farmers had turned out for the rally to protest the anti - inflation farm price policy which is part of de Gaulle’s austerity program. Similar rallies had been held previously without disturbances

Jack Paar Quits TV Show

NEW YORK (UPD — Television star Jack Paar made a dramatic, tearful farewell appearance on his late-hour TV show Thursdy night and stalked out of the studio in a bitter censorship dispute with the National Broadcasting Co. Paar walked out after telUng viewers "I’ve made a decision. Nobody knows about it except Hugh Downs (the program’s announcer), not even my wife. But I’m leaving the Tonight Show.” In referring to the program Paar called it the “Tonight Show” although the name of the program had been changed to ‘"Die Jack Paar Show.” It originally was called the “Tonight Show” when Steve Allen was the program’s star. Pa ar v. took over the -program m July 1957. He signed a new contract with NBC last sunimer which runs until 1962. The terms of the contract never were disclosed, but it was estimated the temperamental star's income would be close to $500,000 a year. : The network was reported to gross between 10 and 15 million dollars annually on the show. 30 Sleepless Hours He said he made up his mind during 30 sleepless hours and recounted some of the events of that period. It began when NBC eliminated the joke from his taped program Wednesday night because the network felt it was in poor toste. A five minute newscast was inserted in place of the joke. Paar said he asked NBC Thursday to let him show the controversial tape so that the implica-' tion that he was guilty of bad taste could be erased. He said the network refused and told him to

By ALBIN KREBH United Preu IntomatiMal There was an optimistic belief In official circles in Washington I today that Russia may eventually accept President Eisenhower’s . new proposal to ban moat nuclear weapons tests. But in Geneva site of the 15-1, month-long East-West nuclear ban ( conference Russian delegate Semyon Tsarapkin's out-of-hand rejection of the Elsenhower proposal' Thursday plunged the talks irsto! gloom. There were even fears in Geneva that Russian rejection of the proposal, which represented major concession on the part of, the United States, might result in the collapse of the marthon talks. * I Tsarapkin called the new U.S. I proposal to ban all weapons tests except small underground blasts "unacceptable” and a "step backward.” Included in the proposed ban would be all atmospheric, ocean, and outer space nuclear I blasts. Sent To Moscow - "After the American proposal! the chances for the conference] have been greatly reduced.” Tsarapkin "said, but he agreed to send the proposal to Moscow for a final decision anyway. Thursday night Moscow Radio joined Tsarapkin in his denunciation of the Eisenhower proposal, saying the partial test ban plan showed "the US A. is prepared to go to any length to thwart the conclusion of a treaty prohibiting all kinds of nuclear weapons tests.” The official Russian broadcast ' monitored in London said the U.S. proposal really “means freedom of action”, in resuming nuclear tests. At present, the United States. Britain and Russia observe a moratorium on test blasts "The latest American proposal shows that the opponents of ending nuclear weapons tests are getting the upper hand,” Moscow Radio said. Propaganda Expected American officials in Washington said they had more or less < expected such propaganda blasts i from the Russians, but they believed the Soviet Union in the : end will accept the Eisenhower , plan after careful consideration. These same Washington officials pointed out that Tsarapkin s ( statement was made to newsmen, and did not constitute a formal Russian rejection of the American proposal. President Eisenhower Thursday described the U.S. proposal as one that would "allay world-wide concern” over radioactivity in the

pass the episode off with a joke. "This I cannot and will not do," Paar said ' The television, star's tearful eight-minute talk included a defense of his handling of the program, an attack against newspaper writers who have criticized him and the controversies he has engaged in. Paar said he never sought controversy and went out of his way to avoid them. “They are tough on my wife and daughter, ’ he said ’ — . . “I don’t need it. There-must be a better way of making a living tHanthis.” — ; —- Defends Censored Joke The audience applauded the departing Paar for a full minute and then Downs took over. He said he had tried before the show to dissuade Paar from quitting and hoped that Paar would change his mind and return to the program. Downs said later that “many things on the show were of a much worse nature” than the censored joke. In defending the joke Paar said it was one of the funniest he had ever heard. He said it was not obscene in his opinion and had been passed on to him by an uncle who heard it from, a niece who in turn had heard it from her school teacher. Paar said the joke was just a play on words about a schoolmaster who didn’t .know the initials “W.C.” meant “water closet.” , “I could read it in any church.’ Paar said. “Four hundred people (in the, studio ajadience) heard It, saw it and laughed” without being offended he said.

atmosphere because it would make illegal all tests that would contribute to radiation First Russian reaction, however, was the same as in the past—a complete ban or none at all. Russia, like Its fellow meVnbers in the "nuclear club." has been under pressure from nuclear "havc-nov nations fearful at the effects of radiation to end all tests. ..

Seeks Settlement Os Labor Dispute MIAMI BEACH <UPD — AFLCIO President George Meany tried to cool off a hot fight between leaders of rival Industrial and craft unions today before it can break up the labor federation. He was expected to make suggestions for a truce In a power struggle over factory maintenance jobs and ways to settle interunion disputes. One result of the flare-up was a statement from Peter T Shoemann president of the United Association of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters that he wUL resign as a vice president of the AFL-CIO Industrial Union Department (IUD) and pull his union out of that organization. Auto Workers President Walter Reuther charged that building trades leaders are blocking agreement on a new peace pact to halt inter-union feuding.

in the hope that Paar would return to the show. “It is NBC's hope that Jack Paar will reconsider his action and return to the program,” the, network said. It said the Cutting of the joke from the show was “in the exercise of its proper responsibilities to the public ” Audience reaction to Paar’s sudden departure from his popular program was immediate. In Chicago more than 300 callers ■ jammed the NBC switchboard after Paar walked off. “You’d be surprised at all the ■ names some of them called us. a network spokesman said. Hr said more than 70 per cent of the calls backed up Paar. I NBC officials in Los Angeles ‘ said their switchboard “lit up lik<> • a Christmas tree. ’" They received I more than 200 calls in 20 minutes. ’ A spokesman said- the calls were pro ahd con, but added “they ' don’t usually call when they re 1 happy, only when they are mad.
