Restaurants Show Drop In Business

WASHINGTON (UPD—The Internal Reveue Service (IRS) is being asked to be a little more explicit in describing when the clinking of cocktail glasses is for business and when it is strictly for fun. The National Restaurant Association claims confusion on this point plunged restaurant sales downward in January, and the situation may get worse. The source of the association’s apprehension is the new expense account regulations that went into effect this year. The real issue may be the survival of what the restaurant group calls the “goodwill” business meal. The association’s counsel, Thomas W. Power, said the goodwill lunch definitely is deductible as a business expense, if the public only understood the “clarifying" information being put out by IRS. But he added: “Proper understanding is virtually nonexistent.” Issues Denial This was promptly denied by IRS Commissioner Mortimer M. Caplin, who said he felt the revenue service had been pretty clear on the issue. Caplin said the business meal is deductible. Caplin and Power collided on the issue in an exchange of letters. Ironically, the friction seemed to be caused by the words “good will.” Power used them almost every time he referred to the touchy subject. Caplin avoided the term, referring to the issue as “the quiet business meal.” In an interview Power defined the subject of the dispute as “a meal where food and beverages are furnished for the creation of good will alone.” Caplin said the lunch he was referring to was treated in IRS literature as follows: “Business meals furnished to an individual under circumstances which are generally considered to be conducive to a business discussion may be deducted. ..” »Business Drops Power claimed that a spot check by the association in some of the nation's big cities showed that restaurant business dropped in these—establishments-~&em 10 to 30 per cent in January. He said Caplin didn’t help the situation any when he told a, recent lunch meeting here that

Modern Etiquette | By Roberta Lee Q. When a business girl visits an old friend for a week-end, a very close friend whom she has known for years, is it still necessary for her to write a bread-and-butter letter? A. Certainly. This is one of the most important indications of good breeding, and no matter how well you know a person or how often you visit her, that bread-and-butter letter is in order each time. Q. When eating a biscuit and jelly at the dinner table, should the jelly be applied to the biscuit with the fork? A. The knife should be used for this purpose. Q. May the bride wear her engagement ring to her wedding, and have her bridegroom put the wedding ring on above it? A. No. On her wedding day the bride either leaves her engagement ring at home, or wears it on her right hand.

“good-will entertaining is out.” “It absolutely is not,” Power added. He said that legislative documents on the law show that the business meal exception includes the expenditure which “merely promotes good will.” “A majority of the business entertaining in America is of that nature,” he said. “It is designed not to discuss business but merely to promote good will. In many instances, it isn’t even desirable or appropriate to discuss business.” A check with the IRS revealed that the agency’s lawyers are studying this conflict of interpretations. A spokesman said the IRS would issue another clarifying directive in the near future. Youth Admits To Slaying His Mother PONTIAC, Mich. (UPD — The brilliant son of a Baptist lay minister has confessed to the sniperslaying of his mother because “she tried to find excuses to keep me home.” The confession of Douglas Cooper Godfrey, 15, ended two terrorfilled weeks for the residents of the fashionable Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Township, Mich. The fatal shooting of Mrs. Mary Godfrey, 38, mother of five, and two previous sniping incidents had left the community in a state of near panic.

The 10th grade student scored 147 on an IQ test while in the fourth grade. At Bloomfield Township High School he was regarded an excellent student. Admits Other Shootings Young Godfrey admitted he fired the two shots at Bloomfield Township homes and one shot at a car to establish the presence of a sniper in the area. He said he missed the car but the other shots Shattered windows in subdivision. His admission he plotted his mother’s death—while ending the fear-filled nights of Oakland County residents —added another tragedy to the Donald Godfrey family. “We argued all the time. She was too strict. She never let me do the things I wanted to do,” Godfrey told authorities in his confession at the state police post here. The boy’s father pledged to “stand by my son... This is one of those things which is hard to explain.” | He added, “I always considered him a good boy.” Accompanies Son The father, a manufacturer of precision instruments, brought the youth to the state police post at the request of Oakland County Prosecutor George Taylor after evidence began to point to Godfrey’s son. Mrs. Godfrey was killed Jan. 25 by a 22-caliber slug fired through the kitchen window of her home. The slug struck her in the left dye. The youth was held at the Juvenile Home for investigation of murder. Taylor said he would ask for a sanity hearing and would confer today with Probate Judge Donald E. Adams on the next move in the case. Sanford Heath Dies At Barberton, Ohio Dorris Heath, both of Decatur. St. Mary’s township, died at 3:15 p.m. Tuesday at his home in Barberton, O.

Russians Execute For Many Crimes MOSCOW (UPD — The crash of firing squad executions is heard with deadly regularity in Russia today. Even though Marx and Engels, spiritual fathers of communism, strongly opposed capital punishment, the death sentence now may be imposed in the Soviet Union for a number of crimes including aggravated murder and raoe. Execution for these crimes are seldom publicized but with increasing frequency the Soviet press is reporting firing squad executions for bribery, embezzlement and thievery. These are economic crimes against the state. Just Tuesday it was reported a district court in Sverdlovsky had sentenced two men to be shot for cheating on the amount of fat in meat pies. In the past three weeks executions -have been reported for men who embezzled or stole the Soviet equivalent of sums ranging from SIOO,OOO to $300,000. A typical case occurred on Jan. 23 when the supreme court of Moldavia imposed the death sentence on the chief of a sewing shop for plundering. A Western expert who has kept count from the announcements in the Soviet press said 136 persons were sentenced to death in 1962. He estimated the actual total might be 50 per cent higher. Soviet authorities attempt to justify the current executions this way; These are economic, anti-social acts, crimes which fall outside the fabric of normal criminal activity and which undermine the existence of the state.

Struck Mishawaka Plant Is Picketed MISHAWAKA, Ind. (UPD — A stone-throwing rgob of union workers angrily picketed a strikebound plant here Tuesday night and agreed 'to leave the scene only after the firm promised to fire non-union employes it had hired. Enraged by reports that Nyloncraft Inc. had hired non-union employes, between 600 and 700 members of nearby locals virtually laid siege to the plant, refusing to allow company officials and workers to leave the building. Police said the pickets stoned the building, spectators and newsmen and slashed the canvas top of one of several cars they attempted to overturn. The firm, which makes nylon products, has been crippled by the strike since last October. Some 100 production workers were idled by the dispute, which was oyer wages and operation of the swing shift. All were members of Local 1151 of the United Auto Workers. The demonstration was sparked by reports that James Wyllje, president of the firm, had hired the non-union labor. The demonstration broke up when he said they would be discharged. During the height of the vio-

West Germany Must Share In NATO Defense BONN (UPD— Chancellor Konrad Adenauer said today that West Germany must be allowed to “share in the full responsibility” of a NATO nuclear defense against Communist aggression. i The 87-year-old statesman said an effective Western nuclear deterrent is intended to make any kind of war impossible. He added that West Germany's relationship with the United States “remains the vital factor for our security.” The West German armed Forces aL present have, missiles and bombers, but no warheads to arm them for nuclear missions. Hie United States stores warheads in Germany, but the Germans have no control over their use and location. The Germans are barred by international treaty from manufacturing nuclear weapons. Adenauer also told Parliament in a foreign policy speech that the reconciliation of West Geramny and France is no substitute for European integration. He said the crisis created by the collapse of the Brussels negotiations on Britain’s bid for Common Market membership is not “incurable." He said West Germany will continue to work to bring the negotiations “back to normal." ' ——• —-— Pledging his country to continued close ties to the United States, Adenauer backed the US. policy on Cuba and said the U.S. government is “keeping a watchful eye on what the more than 10,000 Russian soldiers are doing who are still in Cuba.” Regarding German reunification and the freedom of Berlin, the chancellor said there will be “no foul compromise for us and our friends.” He said Moscow will gain nothing by its continued support of the East German “terror” regime and applying pressure on West Berlin. Urging West Germans to strengthen contacts with their brothers in the Soviet zone, he said the East Germans can choose only between “even harder labor or an even more wretched supply.” Rennselaer Resident Suffocates In Fire RENSSELAER, Ind. (UPD — Joseph F. Kresel, 27, died of suffocation Tuesday in a fire which damaged his home here. Firemen found him lifeless beside his bed and a resuscitator failed to restore breathing. lence, police attempted to escort other workers and company officials out of the plant individually. Wyllie told newsmen he has received a telegram from Governor Welsh offering the state’s services to mediate the strike.

Invited Colleagues Join Gaslight Club WASHINGTON (UPD—In one of his last acts as a member of Congress, former Rep. Victor L. Anfuso sent out letters to his colleagues inviting them to join the local Gaslight Club. Congressmen, he confided, could get membership keys without paying the SIOO initiation fee required of less august personages. Thus the letter appealed to both their egos and their pocketbooks, which comes close to being an unbeatable combination. I am told that Anfuso, a New York Democrat who was dealt out of the last election hy the reshuffling of congressional districts, acted from the purest of motives. He was merely using his good offices to accommodate a friend who had an interest in the Gaslight Club and felt that its membership would be enriched by the addition of more congressmen. Scantily Clad Girls Certain parties, however, did not regard the letter as necessarily the quintessence of statesmanship. They included: 1. Congressmen who had already shelled out SIOO for a Gaslight key and resented the tendering of gratis status unless it were made retroactive. 2. Wives of congressmen who had seen pictures of scantily clad girls frolicking about the premises. 3. Taxpayers who got the impression that Anfuso had mailed the letters under his congressional frank, or free postage privilege. I heard about all of this from a Gaslight emissary who came down from New York recently to endeavor to soothe any ruffled feelings and calm the trouUed waters. He had answers from all three types of complaints, but I was only interested in No. 2. “Our members take personal pride in the fact that there is no bawdy atmosphere in the clubs, and that the girls who serve drinks are beautiful and personable and their demeanor is beyond reproach,” the Gaslighter said. > Invited to Clnb So saying, he invited me to visit the club, which also has branches in New York, Chicago and Paris, to observe their behavior at close range. “Observe,” he said when we were seated at a table, “that the costumes provide more covering than many bathing suits.” “They certainly do,” I observed. “Yes, todeed.” “Some key clubs emphasize sex,” be continued, “but here we are trying to recreate an era.” “They certainly do,” I agreed. “Yes, indeed.” “Any member who tries to pinch one of these girls or make a date is drummed out of the club,” he added. “They certainly do,” I - said. “Yes, indeed.” On the basis of my observation, I have no hesitancy in saying that the wives of congressmen were unduly alarmed by Anfuso's letter. Yes, indeed. TOMATO WEATHER—When the frost is on almost everything that grows in continental United States, that’s the time to eat vine-ripe tomatoes.
