IN TAX FRAUD
Woman Who Aided Holly
wood Luininaries With
Reports Indicted

LOS ANGELES, March 13.-(P)-
Anxiety pervaded the tasrry mo-
ton picture armament in Holly
wood today as many film celebrities
wondered how much they will owe
Uncle Sam after the investigation
Of their earnings, and whether they
will be held responsible for any i'm
proper acts attributed by federal IN
come tax officials to ]. Marjorie
Berger.
Miss Berger. an income tax coun-
selIor of Hollywood, was indicted
by y federal grand jury here yes
terday On "a counts Of alleged
criminal aid in preparing frauou-
lent income tax returns for many
prominent film performers. Gov
ernment officials declared She as
sisted in Gcfrauding the treasury
out of more than 2 million dol
lars i'll recent years.
That the apprehension Of the
screen celebrities may not be Who'll
ly unfOunded was evidenced by the
announcement Of United states At
torney w. S. McNabb that several
idols OF the movie fans may be
named in conspiracy indictments.
One Of the disclosures in the in
dictment was that the gross 1927
income Of Rod LaRoQue, as 'ap-
proved" by Miss Berger, was $121,-
987. She made deductions totalling
$43 .870, leaving a net income OF
S77.216 upon which tax Of $10,-
648 was paid. The government
charged that LaRoque's gross in
come was S182.779, and that deduc-
tons should have totalled only So
667, leaving net income Of $173.-
Ill. upon which a tax Of $34, POI
should have been paid.

There are $4,000 permits affect

standing and the percentage Of the
holders who have made such rea-

it, contemplates no leases of land
adjacent to that which may be
leased to prospectors who strike oil.
The senator holds the act Of April
