DEPARTMENT ROUNDS
UP ALL TAX SLAckERS
Hundreds Suspected of Failing
To Return as Income Real
Estate Profits

ATLANTA, October lit I.
Rose, collector Of internal revenue
here. ha issued statement dclar-
ing that hundreds of Georgians have
not returned real estate profits
when making income tax returns.
l.. this stat, ment the collector as
serts:
"In order to close up the
Government tax net, the Collector
has ordered that transcript be
made of doubtful transfers, All
careful investigation will be made
of all these files. to detelInine
whether or not the sales involved
have been reported upon the
income tax returns. Collector Rose
suggested that all persons who
failed to include the Profit realized
from real estate sales call at his eli
flee, or file amended returns, as
it is the policy of the revenue de
partment not to assert heavy penal
ties when the disclosures of failuxe
to include income. are voluntarily
m""n by taxpayers.
1t is my belief that the failure
Of many taxpayers to include real
estate profits in their returns was
to an erroneous Interpretation of
the income tax laws, and to mis-
leading publicity that was given out
prior to the ruling of the United
States Supreme Court, holding that
such gains were taxable income
under the revenue laws"
I'm cases where the taxpayer
does not voluntarily disclose items
or income that were omitted, and
whore the gains from real estate
sales have not been reported, the
Collector said that it would be
necessary to assert full penalties
from all returns where the invest
cation disclosed the failure of the
taxpayer to include real estate
gains in his income tax return"

Intensive Efforts Being Made by

BELGRADE, Oct 11.-Intensive

Soviet government at Moscow, both
here and in Prague, to obtain reco ;.
milton by Jugoslavia and eCzeeho.

worldwide recognition.
The first recognition by any Ell.
ropean power was expected from
the Stanlboulisky. regime, in Bui-
garia. The Soviet agents in that
country were in close relations with
the late Stamboulisky government.
Il is an open secret here that only
Stamboulisky's fears of compiled
tons with Great. Britain AMI
France stood between him and the
carrying out of his desire to cx-
change diplomatic representatives
with Soviet Russia.
The fall of Stamboulisky made it
necessary to change the field Of
endeavor to Belgrade and Prague,
The efforts of the Soviet adv3
Gates are finding strong popular
response, especially in Czechoslo-
xakia where the anti-German feel
ing still exists.
In Jugoslavia Soviet purposes
have been accompanied by activi-
ties in the form of espionage. The
latest incident is the one in which
the Russian Colonel Yoika figure
prominently.
Loika arrived in Belgrade from
Russia about two years ago, repre-
sented himself as a Czarist officer
fleeing from Soviet persecution
His story, supported by documents
was credited by the war office; ne
received colone's commission and
was attached 10 the aviation arn&
Here he availed himself of ever
opportunity to collect military in
formation.
But when the anti-Bolsheyis,
Russian colony recently discovered
his true character as a Soviet agent
orders were issued for the colonel u

WASHINGTON, Oct ll.-D... Il

WASHINGTON, Oct 11.-D,-. r
Taylor, chief of the bureau of ag-
icultural economics of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, addressing
the Worlds Dairy Congress here
.oday declared establishment of
dairy production in both hemis-
pherese had done away to soma ex-
tent with the periodical shortage
which had resulted from seasonal
changes in the northern hemi-
sphere.
Citing the vast growth of inter-
national trade in dairy products
and pointing out that the American
imports of cheese practically bal
ance exports of butter, condensed
and evaported milk and other SIM
liar products, he declared "the out
standing. points of significance are
development of dairying in certain
countries of the Southern hernj-
sphere, the attendant prominent
pace obtained by these countries in
the worlds international trade,
and the general decline of Canada
and the United States as export.
ing countries.
I'm provements in transportation
he said, have affected both quaint
ity and quality of dairy shipments
and refrigeration has made posi-
BILE the transportation Of fresh
milk over great distances. 1t has
come about, he added, that the
price received for dairy products
in any one country now is deter
mined by conditions Of supply and
demand the world over.
More than 20,0O0,0oO pounds
of milk" said Dr. Taylor, I'VE =,
required during the past year 20
produce the butter, cheese and pre-
served mix that entered into the
international trade of the world.
Fifty years ago the total interna-
tional trade in dairy products
amounted to about one-fourth It's
present size and consisted of ship
ments to England of butter from
Denmark and France, of cheese
from Holland and Switzerland, Of
cheese from the United States and
Of butter and cheese from Canda.
In the past % years, dairying has
been developed in New Zealand,
Australia and Argentina and these
countries have come into promir-
ence as exporting countries. Den
mark, Holland and Switzerland
have become increasingly impor-
tant. Russia attained an impor-
tant pace in expectation Of butter
prior to the world war but is now
entirely out of international trade
and Canada has become lesser
factor as an exporter Of cheese but
holds an important place in butter
exports. -
