GRAIN CORPORATION
HELD LIABLE ON GOLD
SHIPPED TO AMERICA
tBy The Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 19.-The United
States Grain corporation was liza
bic as private corporation, the
United States circuit court of APP
peas decided today, for the cost of
transporting in 1919 on the de-
stroyed Laub, a shipment Of gold
from Constantinople to New York.
The opinion reversed a recent de-
ciSion of the federal district court.
Suit for compensation for the
gold transportation was brought
by Wallace b. Phillips, T.. S. N,
commander of the Laub. The fed
eral district court held the cor
poration to be " governmental
agency" and therefore not liable
for the cost Of transportation of
the gold on a United States naval
vessel.
However, the opinion OF the
court of appeals, written by Judge
NJ. r. Manton, said the grain cor
p0ration is not a governmental
agency. although the United States
was the principal stakeholder. The
government created this agency, it
said but the corporation RESPONSE
bility is that of a private corpora
! ton and Commander Phillips is en-
tied, under naval regulations, to
recover.
The gold shipment, s5,125, 900,
was sent to the grain corporation
| by the Bulgarian government for
| wheat sent to that country. The
shipment originated in the port of
Varna, on the Black sea, was car
ried to Constantinople and placed
aboard the Iaub.

ABOLISH LUXURY TAX
ON C0MPLIM ENTARY
AMUSEMENT TICKETS

Luxury tax on complimentary
amusement tickets has been dis
continued under tho new reve-
nue. law, according to a decision
of the United States commission
er of internal revenue which was
received by the district office
here Yesterday. The luxury tax
on paid admissions to amuse-
ments remains in force, however.
The wording of the new law,
which went into effect on Janu
airy l of this year, has caused
considerable confusion over the
country. The luxury tax on paid
admissions is retained in the new
law in almost the same form as
before. while no mention is made
of the tax requirement on com
plimentary tickets. Doubt as to
whether or not the law required
payment Of tax on free tickets
caused collectors over the coun-
try to ask for a ruling.
Under the new law, the amuse-
ment tax amounts to 10 per cent
of the admission price. provided
that the price is more than 10
cents. The tax on tickets sold
at reduced rates is based on the
actual price paid rather than on
the regular price Of the ticket.
