LUXURY TAX FRAUD IS
WORKED ON AMERICANS
DE Luxe Restaurants Il,
Rome Fined ], 900, 900 Lire.

ROME, Oct. 22.-Americans who have
paid the Italian luxury tax demanded
in so-called de luxe restaurants Of Rome
will be chagrined to learn that four of
those restaurants which drew large
numbers Of visitors from overseas did
not turn that tax money into the Italian
Treasury at all. but simply put It in the
restaurant cash drawer.
The restaurants which have Just been
discovered by the italian police as col
lecing the money from the public un-
der the guise of a national tax have
been brought to account for the illegal
manipulation Of accounts and have been
fined 100000 lire by the italian FL
nance Department. The Umberto res
taurant paid the highest fine. which ag-
gregated 55S,s00 lire. The CASTILLO del
Cesari pair 7S.191 lire, the Regina
391 800 lire and the Taverna Russia
23.900 lire. At normal exchange 1,000,-
600 lire would be equivalent to about
100000 at current rates to about
$40, 900.
The walters of these restaurants
would present the bill to the customers,
adding on 10 per cent. for the luxury
tax. No record was kept of the 10 per
cent on the bill and accordingly no re-
turn was made to the italian Finance
Department. When the authorities dis
covered the ruse they took the books of
these restaurants and placed O fine

no longer depend on sugar, even II the

Before the war the shortage Of fertil-
izer prevented such a radical change
but this was overcome since potash Is
now available from Alsace, while thou
sands of tractors sold cheaply since the
war have given the land owners
chance to develop vast areas for grain
at minimum expense.
The French Government is aiding the
movement with promises to subsidize

apparatus necessary to develop maxi
