Moscow, Feb. 7.-(AP)-A scheduled
interview with Mrs Ruth Marie

son, charge d'affaires of the United
States Embassy, was postponed TODAY
while Soviet authorities completed ar
engagements as to the time and place

tanned passport and her arrest Deem

The meeting was expected tomorrow
at the earliest, perhaps at the foreign
office, where Mrs. KuDens would be
taken from a thus-far secret place of
detention.
Travelling as "Mr. and Mrs. Donald
l.. Robinson" Mrs Rubens entered
Russia with a man described as a
writer. The man also was arrested,
cut the United States sought only to
interview Mrs. Rubens since it has
not been established that Robinson"

.|NTANG|bLES NOT
L|STABLE LOCALLY
State Handles New Tax
Levy Entirely Instead of
Counties
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh Feb. Under the States
new intangible tax laws no property
of this class will be hereafter requir-
ed to he listed with local list-takers or
subjected to local tax rates applying
to tangible property.
All property in the category is re-
turnable to the State on March Is as
of the preceding December 81 and the
tax is payable directly to the State De-
partment of Revenue.
In the case of bank deposits the tax
is automatically deducted by the
banks from their depositors' accounts
and is turned in to the Department of
Revenue by them instead of by the
taxpayer himself.
Recent notices of deductions sent
by banks to their depositors, coupled
with the fact that only about $4,000
in intang1bles was reported collected
by the department in January have
given rise to considerable confusion in
the minds of many about the method
of collection. It appeared that the
State should have received far more
than $4,000 in January if the deduc-
lions were being turned in.
AS matter of fact there is a mass
Of detailed work to be done by the
banks between the time they deduct
the levy from their depositors' ac-
counts and the time they turn them
in to the State department, Tox Alex
ander, head Of the intangible division
says.
A thorough check must be made to
determine if the deposit was exempt
for any reason; the banks must list
individually all the deductions; and
there is much purely clerical work to
handle.
The January receipts were entirely
satisfactory and were fully up to ex-
pectations, Mr.. Alexander said.
It is expected that the total reve-
nue. at the reduced rates will be
greater than under the former much
higher rate by reason of more gen
eral and complete disclosure of this
class of property.
