POLICE SEEKING
HIT RUN DRIVER
He Is Believed To Be Negro
Owner Of South Carolina
Station Wagon

Police last night were searching
for a negro tentatively identlfleo
as the hit-and-rm driver OF the
car that crashed into a light SEDAN
at 18th and Market streets FRIDAY
night, fatally injuring a Whining
ton negro employed at Holly Ridge.
The victim of the accident was
Willie Singleton. He died in the
James Walker Memorial hospital
S minutes after his car was sent
careening against a tree at the
18th and Market street intersec-
ton, struck broadside by a station
wagon travelling, police investi-
gators said, at a high rate of speed
south on 18th street. The driver OF
the station wagon disappeared a
few moments after the accident,
leaving the car he was driving,
wrecked.
The stagion wagon bore South
Carolina license plates issued In
January to Lewis E. Gore, col
ored. of Wampee, S. c. Police in
that city, at the request OF Will
mington authorities. said they were
unable to locate Gore there. 1t
was believed in Wampee that Gore
recently moved to Pineville, N. c.
Certain papers found in the car
indicated that Gore had been in
Pineville within the past few
weeks.
Coroner Asa Allen viewed the
accident scene and announced that
an inquest would be conducted as
soon as police complete their in
vestigation of the crash. Two ne
sroes riding with Singleton, Ernest
McIntee, 6O4 South 18th street, and
Fred Brown, 914 Queen street,
we're uninjured. l.

Your Federal
Income Tax
/ Deductions For Business Expenses

CtlOuS + VI DuSk1lCSS AApOAA0So
Deductions for business expenses
form a large item in the return OF
many taxpayers and must have
certain qualities to be allowed.
Such deduction must be for an
expenditure in connection with the
maintenance and operation of the
taxpayers business or business
properties; it must be an ordinary
expense and it must be a nee
essary expense. In insisting upon
the latter qualifications, the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue is upheld
by the board of Tax Appeals and
the courts. Ordinary and necess-
airy expenses are only those which
are usual and essential in the case
of similar taxpayers, land do not
include extraordinary and non
essential exuenses."
Typical business expenses OF a
mercantile establishment are
amounts paid for advertising, hire
of clerks and other employees,
rent, light, heat, water, stationery,
stamps, telephone, property insur-
ance, and delivery expenses.
The expenses of a manufa cturing
business include labor, supplies, re-
pairs, light and heat, power, selling
cost, administration, and other sim
liar charges.
The farmer may deduct all nee
essary expenses incurred in the
production, harvesting, and mar
keting of crops, including labor,
cost of seed and fertilizer used,
cost of minor repairs to farm
buildings (other than his dwelling),
and small tools used up in the
course of a year or two. A tax
payer conducting more than one
business may claim the business
deductions of each. S

Toto, Gorgontuo's Love, to Pay
$4,000 to U.S.. or Be Deported

The Customs Bureau today pro-
duced q new Illustration for Gar
gantua, the great gorilla, in his
search for a love life. The bureau
has warned the Ringing Brothers
Circus, owner of Gargantua, that
Toto, the gorilla's intended, is
probably in this country illegally.
But $4,000 will keep her here.
The issue was to be threshed out
at the Tampa Fla), customs office
this afternoon between Treasury
officials and Ringing Brothers at
torneys, who have been summoned
to conference from Sarasota, Fla,
where both Gargantua and Toto
live in expensive, air-conditioned
glass houses.
The bureau holds that in its
customs declaration for the i'm
portation of Toto, Ringing Brothers
undervalued the loveliest lady among
the captive gorillas. Toto entered
the United States from Cuba in
December by the port of Miami,
Fla. If the bureau wins its point,
the customs duty On Toto viii
Evening star., 1941-03-17

amount in all to 200 per cent Of
the price paid by Ringing for
Toto.
1t is said that the circus paid S.
500 for Toto and declared its value
at half that, paying a duty o. IS
per cent ad valorem on the declara-
ton. If the Customs Bureau is cor
rect, 1t will assess the circus also:
1. Fifteen per cent of the hidden
value.
2. A penalty of 1s5 per cent Of the
whole.
That would mean $4,000 for the
Customs Bureau.
If the Customs Bureau should de-
eide that right is on its side and
Ringing doesn't pay the penalty,
Toto will be snatched away from her
fiance and shipped back to Cuba.
But nobody thinks Ringing Bros.
won't pay. Next month the circus
opens its 1941 season. What big
