Income Tax
Prepared by Bureau OF
Internal ReDenue,
Treasury Dept.
BAD DEBTS-YEAR IN WHICH
DEDUCTIBLE,

To be allowed as a deduction from
gross income. bad debt must have
been determined by the taxpayer to
be worthless within the taxable year
for which it is claimed and, where
books are kept, it also must have
been charged off within the same
year. The necessity for this pro-
vision is obvious. If debt could be
deducted without the requirement
that it be charged off the taxpayers
books, the certainty of its worthless
ness would be open to question.
Neither the taxpayer nor the Gov
ernment could be certain that a
debt would not be claimed more
than once.
If a bad debt were allowed as
deduction without regard to the
year when it became worthless, such
charges could be accumulated to
be deducted in a year when there
was a large income.
The burden is upon the taxpayer
to show that a debt claimed as a
deduction was without value during
the taxable year. A statement should
be attached to the return showing
the propriety of any deduction for
bad debts. If in the exercise of
sound business judgment a taxpayer
concludes, after making every rea-
sonable 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
worthless is not essential.
1t is optional with the taxpayer,
in a year prior to that in which a
debt becomes wholly worthless, to
take a deduction for partial loss if
partial worthlessneSs occurs.
The provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code with respect to bad
debt and partial bad-debt deduc-
tions are not applicable to tax
payer, other than a bank as de-
fined by the act, where the debt is
evidenced by bonds, debentures,
notes, or certificates. or other evil
dences of Indebtedness. issued by
any corporation Gncluding those is
sued by q Government or political
subdivision thereof with interest

of the idea to start promoting it
from Lake Erie to Philadelphia.
Commerce Secretary Richard P.
Brown said today the pooling plan
now is operating in IS Pennsylvania
industrial areas.
He said he had sent letters to $50
companies throughout the country,
explaining the plan and offering aid
in locating Pennsylvania factories
equipped and ready to produce parts
under subcontract. Fifteen prompt
replies accepted the offer, he said.
Under the pooling program, a
check is kept of the current idle
hours of machines and men operat-
ing in industrial areas covered by
the pool
Each pool, Brown explained, ex-
changes its idle hour" inventory
with other pools so that plant man

Pennsylvania industry has embarked
upon a unique experiment of pool
ing its equipment and resources in
a twofold effort to obtain as many
national defense contracts as pos

The plan started in the city OF

which a manufacturer told fellow
businessman:

He described it, the friend said he
had the necessary machinery idle

was born. York's businessmen got

Additional Copper Purchases
In South America Forecast

The Federal Government has
plans ready to remedy most of this
deficiency by supplying the United
States market with an additional
$4,000 tons monthly of South Amer
lean copper, which was expected to
start arriving in less than a month.
Even a slight increase in ship
ments TO consumers, however, or a
moderate decline in production,
would leave a wide hiatus between
orders and supplies. Larger foreign
purchases could be the answer.
While the possibility of an actual
shortage exists, experts said, chances
are slim.
Major copper producers cooper
ated with defense officials by keep
ing their price at II cents a pound
and rationing supplies. In the
custom smelter field sales we're
made at 1912 cents a pound for
delivery this month.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-NeWs that
January copper consumption was a

casts this week the United States
might be forced to dip again into
the rich mines of Latin America to
pad inadequate domestic supplies.
At the end of January copper re-
finers had on hand about 10000
tons. the smallest since mid-l937.
Production of roughly $4,000 tons of
refined metal was close to record
levels, but deliveries to consumers
reached nearly 10000 tons, larger
than any previous month.
Metal experts figured February
deliveries would be maintained at
the same high rate.
In other words. monthly deliveries
would exceed monthly output Of re-
fined copper by more than $4,000
tons,
