PETITION DENIED
 IN MUNSON CASE
Compensation Award to Be Reviewed for Additional
 Information

Judge Frank P. McEvoy today de- nied the petition in the appeal of William D. Munson from the f1nd- ing and compensation award of George France, in which Munson sought to have the commissioner correct the finding and modify the award. He did however, order that the cause be returned to the com missioner for certain purposes of enlightenment. The suggestions he offers for clarification of various portions of the finding are to make it easier to review the action when trial of the appeal Is held.
 The first suggestion is that para. graph 9, which deals With whether not the respondent regularly em- ployed five or more men, be re- drafted.s He also recommends fur ther evidence be taken from two men who worked at one time for Munson. He suggests that the commissioner specifically designate how many men were employed by Munson in August 1935, and who they were; the period of. time of employment, what work they were employed at and the compensation received for their work. Judge Me- Evoy, in his memorandum says that if each of these questions is an- swered it will make the case easier to review.

Gas Appliance Sales
 In 1886 Made Record
Ranges Water Heaters, Refrigerators All Reached
 Highest Peak in History Last Year

During the past year, sales of gas appliances in Connecticut, par ticularly gas ranges, automatic wa ter heaters and gas refrigerators, ex- ceeded all previous marks ever es- tablished in the state, it is report ed by public utilities giving gas service, master plumbers, hardware merchants and other dealers in gas appliances. la
 This new record in appliance sales is due not only to the increase in public purchasing power brought about by business recovery, but also to preparations made for. recovery by the manufacturers, of gas burn- ing household apparatus during the depression years. Improvements in design and performance have been made rapidly in the past few years, and the appearance of do- mestic gas ranges and water heat CTS have been so radically changed that they are hardly recognizable as such.
 Moreover, according to R. M. Con- nor, director of the American Gas Association Testing Laboratories which are in charge of testing al new types of appliances submitted by manufacturers, the year 193t alone has seen greater improve ments made in domestic gas ap. pliances than in any other period o1 similar length in history. This t particularly true, he said, when tht situation is viewed from the stand.

 The singers gave vent to the fol- lowing sounds: "Ho, Go, Oh, An, Oy, Yokh, Aie-Yehk."
 It was explained that the com poser had decided to use the human voice purely for sound effects, as in the case of the instruments of the orchestra. Hence he found words unnecessary.

Your Income Tax
No. 20 Bad Debts-Year in Which AA Deductible

To be allowed as a deduction from gross income, a bad debt must have been determined by the taxpayer to be worthless within the taxable year for which 1t is claimed and, where books are kept, 1t also must have been charged of within the same year. The necessity for this pro- vision is obvious. If debt could be deducted without the require- ment that it be charged off the tax payers books, the certainty of its worthlessness would be open to question, Neither the taxpayer nor the government could be certain that 8 debt would not be claimed more than once.
 If a bad debt were allowed as a deduction, without regard to the year when it became worthless, such charges could be accumulated to be deducted in year when there was large income.
 The burden is upon the taxpayer to show that 8 debt claimed as a de- duction was without value during the taxable year. A statement should be attached to the return showing the propriety of any deductions for bad debats. If the exercise of sound business judgment a taxpayer con- cludes, after making every reason able effort to determine whether there is likelihood of recovery, that the debt is of no value, deduction for such debt is allowable. Court action as proof that the debt is
