With about 10000 officers and

sents probably an income Of $685.

Government of approximately
100000.
Big Gain for Military.
1t was explained that the action
means that military and naval Off.

been on the same plane as civilians
in the payment of Federal income

OF tax reduction Of from $30O. o00, 900
to 500, 000. 900,
The Bureau Of Internal Revenue
originally held that Communication to
military people was taxable. A test
case was taken to the United States
Court of Claims where decision
adverse to the Treasury was handed
down.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
asked the advice of Attorney General
Sargent as to whether the case
might be taken to the Supreme
Court in an effort to uphoN the
Treasury's position. Sargent noti-
lied the Treasury that the Court
OF Claims decision should be ac1
cepted as final.
1t was estimated by tax experts
that the average Communication paid
probably amounts to 81 900 annually
for each officer and man involved.
