Neat and Steiner at Guard
For Butler, Coach Paul D. (Tony) Hinkle will start that combination that ‘worked efficiently against 8. M. U. With Charles Atkinson, Anderson junior, out of action for at * least five weeks with a twisted knee, ‘Hinkle will place Lyle Neat, Ft. Wayne junior sharpshooter, in one guard spot with Capt. Jerry Steiner _ at the other. To match Butler's big scoring trio tonight, Mills will offer Capt. Bill Hapec, senior, Wukovits and Johnny Drish, junior.

ANCIENTS ADEPT AT PROPAGANDA
Egyptians Used It as Early, As 2000 B. C. to Overcome Rumor of Defeat.
(Copyright 1939 by Science Service) WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—Historians, grown skeptical over modern nations’ twisting ‘and coloring of war news, turned a sharp eye on Egypt's Pharaohs today and found them adept at propaganda. | Evidence that Egypt began conscious use of propaganda as early at 2000 B. C. and that its historic inscriptions include actual defeats cleverly advertised as comfortable victories was reported to the American Historical Association in sessions here, by -Dr.. John A. Wilson; director of the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute.
Wall Boast Cited
Modern dictator ‘governments would. understand Pharaoh Ramses the Second’s idea in spreading his “Victory of Kadesh” over walls a quarter of a mile in extent in the city of Thebes alone. “It was a tremendous personal boast to overwhelm the rumor of failure,” said Dr. Wilson. Actually, Ramses did not win this mighty 13th Century B. C. battle on the Orontes River in Asia Minor against the Hittites and their allies. Checked with ‘other historic eviderice, the best that can be said for Ramses, said Dr. Wilson, is that he fought a drawn battle and managed to retreat in good order,
Evidently Successful -
Ramses distorted war report evidently was successful ‘propaganda, the Egyptologist added, sincé a century later Pharaoh Ramses the Third plagiarized almost word for word one of Ramses the Second’s inscriptions, thereby claiming that he defeated a Hittite army almost single-handed at Kadesh, The third Ramses never fought any such battle at all, is now pretty certain. Success of old Egyptian propaganda is attributed by Dr. Wilson to efforts of the priesthood. Religion and state were inextricably mixed in Egypt. It was highly advantageous to the: priests ‘to give the ruler of Egypt a build-up as superhero, since this spurred Egypt on to glories and victories and in turn brought’ riches into temple treasuries.

DEATHS IN INDIANAPOLISTREASURY ACTS

Plans Wider Use Use of Power To Make “Closing Agreements.”
ial : NGTON, Jan. 1.— The Treasury is prepared to make wider use of its relatively new powers to settle uncertainties about taxes growing out of certain kinds of business transactions. In an Administration that has heard itself charged with fostering doubt in the minds of businessmen, this is looked upon here as an important development. In the :Internal Revnue Act of
Times Sp - WAS
to enter into ‘closing agreements” with payers of income and other Federal taxes, covering tax liabilities of the future. %
Refuses to Sign Act
Earlier laws had permitted such agreements as regards taxes for prior years, but scores of agreements reached on that basis were set aside by the courts.
vision became law in May of last year, without the President's signature. (He declined to sign the measure because it emasculated the un-distributed-profits tax). The Treasury is now prepared to make more general use of the provision, in order to help business. A “closing agreement” is an irrevocable contract between the Government and the taxpayer, fixing the basis for future taxation in a certain business operation. If a taxpayer goes to the Treasury and says he is going to make such-and-such a business deal, and presents all the facts about it, the Government can contract with him as to the basis of future taxation on this particular deal. Thereafter, unless the taxpayer has misrepresented some material fact, the agreement cannot be revoked. The taxpayer thus knows for sure what the basis of his tax bill on this transaction is going to be.
Makes Tool Allowance ’ Such a “closing agreement” was entered into a few weeks ago with Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Co.
Colt’s had got a Government munitions contract, and had to spend
.\money for special tools, jigs, dies, | fixtures and gauges, useful only for | this special job. So the Government agreed that: if these tools '
were actually used only for this job, Colt’s could charge off their cost as indirect factory expense when making out their income-tax return. Normally, in the absence of the ‘closing agreements” procedure, the cost of new facilities may be amor-
determinable | nly upon completion of the contract. But Congress wrote this provision in the law to cover much more than such cases the Colt’s munitions
‘contract.
The provision has been called a “firm stride of . . . predictability and repose in tax liability” by John P. Wenchel,
eau. The Treasury, evidently has been using its new | powers cautiously. Since the law became, effective i May, 1938, only about 40 groups of cases have been dealt with throug some 1100 “closing agreements,”
Recalls Couzens Case f About 50 per cent of these hate
~. {dealt with reorganizations of cor
rations, according to the Intern ] Revenue Bureau; about 30 per ce with the liquidation of corporatio involving the questions of where the tax will lie in' distributions of sets, and the remaining 20 per cent with valuations of stocks and other assets. One of the most famous tax cases in recent years demonstrates how “closing agreements” can serve [to remove uncertainty from the minds of taxpayers. The case |involved the Ford
Couzens (R., Mich.), and the Co missioner of Internal Revenue. At the request of an agent ing on behalf of Henry Ford in the
"| purchase of minority interests in the
Ford Motor Co., including that| of Senator Couzens, the Commissi o of Internal Revenue ruled that/ he was “disposed” to regard $9489 as a fair market value of a share of stock as of March 1, 1913, and that this should be used in computing ade on the sale. The deal & closed’ on that basis and Senator Couzens made his| income tax in conformity with the Bureau’s ruling, although the ruling was not binding. A subsequent Commissioner ruled that $3547 was the fair market value of the stock/ and Senator Couzens was assessed ace cordingly. His taxes skyrocketed. But the Senator, a fighter if there ever was one in the Senate, took his case to the Board of Tax Appeals, which after a long investigation, fixed $10,000 a share the proper valuation. Senator fouzens got a large re-
