Beddux Protests S11,O47
Income Tax Penalty
By the Associated Press.

Charles E. BedauX, industrial
engineer at whose chateau in France
the Duke and Duchess of Windsor
were married, protested to the Tax
Appeals Board yesterday a $22095
income tax deficiency assessment
and $11,047 fraud penalty.
The Internal Revenue Bureau as
sessed the tax on Mr.. Bedaux's 1887
inceme, which he had reported was
$2,275. The bureau, however, said
the income was $81,868, and i'm
posed a fraud penalty of so per
cent of the tax, charging Mr..
Bedaux with failure to report $39,-
211 salaries from two of his United
States companies and $40,218 of
fees earned outside this country.
Mr.. Bedaux said the salaries were
not paid to him, but to the Inter
national Bedaux Co. Of Holland,
which reported them in its income
tax return. He argued also that
the fees were not taxable because
they were earned in foreign coun-
tries.
