ROBERTS SIGNS
TAX CASE STAY
Order Retains Port Authority
Litigation in Jurisdiction
Pending Rehearing Plea.

ey the Associated Press.
Justice owen J. Roberts has signed
stay of the Supreme Courts May 20
decision permitting the Federal Gov
ernment to collect income taxes from
oficials of the New York Port
Authority.
Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson
and Austin Tobin, counsel for the
Authority. said today the effect of the
stay order would be to retain the tax
litigation in the courts jurisdiction
until the justices can rule next fall on
the Authority's petition for rehear-
ing.
The stay was necessary, Mr.. Tobin
said. because the court does not con-
vene again until October 3. If the
courts mandate had been issued in
accordance with the decision. he said.
the Internal Revenue Bureau could
have acted to collect II years of back
taxes from Port Authority employees.
While Treasury officials have indi-
Gated there was no intention Of being
harsh in applying the courts ruling,
Mr.. Tobin said he wanted the court
definitely to establish the principle
that its decision would have only a
prospective effect" on taxpayer~ not
a retroactive one. i.
He argued in his petition for rehear-
Ing that not only Port Authority en-
ployes but State and municipal en-
ployes as well might be "impover-
ished' if taxing officials used the.
courts Port Authority decision as a
basis for action in collecting arrears.
In addition to the stay, there are
several proposals pending in Congress
IN remove any possible liability for
back taxes from State and municipal
employees.
Legislative action was not expected
before the next session, however.

found a seat in the crowded bus.

Lucy knew she would never hear
