WASHINGTON, March 12.-~The

internal revenue bureau has asked!

taxpayers to refrain this year from deducting for income tax purposes | Federal levies paid on automobiles, | gasoline and liquor. “This habit causes us the most | grief,” a Bureau official said, the taxpayer goes right on doing it year after year.” Federal taxes on automobiles, gasoline, and liquor are imposed on he manufacturer, producer, or importer, and are not deductible by the purchaser or consumer, even though they may be passed on to him as part of the purchasing price, It is possible, however, for taxpavers in some states to deduct state taxes paid on gasoline and retail sales, but the terms of the tax laws in other states bar such deductions.

Regulations Clarified

Other “musts” and “must nots” relative to deductions include: Taxes on real estate and personal | property paid during the year are deductible, Taxes assessed against local benefits, such as streets, sidewalks, drainage and other like improvements, are not deductible. The Bureau holds they tend to increase the value of the property and thus constitute cost of a permanent improvement,

State income tax is an allowable |

deduction. Customs duties paid by a person on articles imported for his own use are deductible. Federal taxes on theater or amusement admissions in excess of 40 cents are deductible, but the taxpayer account has amount paid. Taxes on

He started out not as a poor boy looking for a break, but as the sole heir to a big fortune and a thriving business -a bov who could shoot a “hot” game of golf, liked fast automobiles, and had a faculty for spending money at a pace that made even Hollywood dizzy, » n n

EXD in his teens, Hughes was several vears in advance of the times, Instead of wanting a canoe for sport, young Howard begged for airplane rides—and got them. And when his father suggested it might be a good idea for his son to learn something about the Texas oil tool trade, young Howard stepped into {the factory, pre-empted a work bench and started figuring out pro- | duction time and labor-savers for himself. For some time after his father’s death Hughes interested himself in the plant. Then the era of colossal | movie-making caught his fancy. He “wanted to do something for himself,” so he started “Hell's Angels” as a silent picture, remade it as a ( successful talkie. One of the most expensive ($4,000,000) productions in film history, “Hell's Angels” actually made money for Hughes and was a rebuke to the Hollywood veterans who had dubbed it “Hughes’ Folly.” Later he Produced Tw Arabian
