Rookie Reiser
May Take Trio
Of Crowns
Personality Kid
Tops Bottsrs, Hits
When Most Needed

oPITTSBURGH, Sept. 19-(R
The next nine narrowing days
will decide whether the Brook
Ign Dodgers will wear the Ma
tional League crown but there's
a lad in their midst today who
already seems q shoo-in for a
bunch of individual honors.
He's two-gun Pete Reiser, who
may end his first full season as
q major Lacquer wearing the
ple-plated crown Of batting
champion, outstanding rock e
and most valuable player to his
team. And to this record might
be added the title of personality
champ" for this unassuming kid.
The extra honor is not due to
high-powered assets such as a
glib tongue and a glad hand
but rather to Pete's consummate
modesty over his astonishing
deeds.
GREAT CLUTCH HIT
Reiser looks like the fresh
faced Joungster next door but
he hits baseballs like a demon
and currently ranks among the
greatest clutch hitters in the
game for his habit of inserting
his base knocks when the fight
ing flatbushers most needs 'em.
Lippy Leo Durocher, manager
of the Brooks, calls outfielder
Pete one of 1.-The best players I
ever s"w."
"He's going to be an even bet
ter hitter because he's going to
get smarter the longer he's up"
Leo the lion added just before
the Dodgers finale with the
Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday.
Opposing pitchers in the
league are quito willing to con-
cede that Harold Patrick Reiser
is smart enough Tow. He has be-
labored them for an average
around .335 so far, topped off
by a squirt needed in the Dodg-
ers' stretch drive.
Discussing his hitting, Pete
said in dead seriousness:
81 wouldn't mind batting five
times and going hitless if got
up that many times in a game,
it would mean somebody on the
club was hitting"
That, friends, is modesty in a
large way.

Fitz, hit Frank Cuisine with a

 A few months ago, letter came across Baxter's desk, in which a bedevilled business man listed F persons on whom he had called and he still hadn't located the man ne was supposed to see. That was the day of the birth of the Service and Information office.
 Now, business man can call at the Department of Commerce, check into the office and within a few minutes have complete list of government officials he has to see. One amusing thing is that the very completeness Of this list has caused almost as much consterna- tion in some cases as the pick and-hunt system did before.

 Taxes on real estate and per- sonal property paid during the year l94O are deductible. So-called taxes which are assessed against local benefits, such as streets, side walks, drainage, and other like im- provements, are not deductible but are to be capitalized, as they tend to increase the value of the property and thus constitute cost of permanent improvement. The Federal income tax may not be de- ducted. .,a.an.
 The tax on unjust enrichment Federal tax on income-is not deductible. Income tax, however, paid to the State by an individual on his income is an allowable de- duction in his Federal income-tax return.
 Customs duties paid by a person on articles imported for his own use are deductible Import or tar if duties paid to customs officers and business, license, privilege, ex- else, and stamp taxes paid to in- ternal revenue collectors are de- ductible as taxes, provided they are not added to and made part of the expenses of the business or the cost of the articles of merchant disc with respect to which they are paid, in which case they can- not be deducted separately as a tax.
 The Federal tax of one cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof paid for admission to any place is deductible, provided an account has been kept by the taxpayer of the amount paid
 Taxes on club dues are deductible by the member paying them. An individual may deduct the tax on his telephone conversations, radio messages, telegrams, and cables, and on the rent of his safe-deposlt box.
 Unemployment compensation con- tributions required under a State law, if officially classified as taxes. are deductible as taxes and not as business expenses.
 The excise taxes imposed upon employers by the Social Security Act, as amended, are deductible 1 but the tax imposed on employees by that act is not deductible. If an employer pays such tax for the employees, the amount may be de- ducted by the employer as a busi- ness expense, and the employees are required to report as addition al income in their Federal income tax returns the amounts of the tax so paid for them.
 License fees exacted by a State or city upon certain businesses arc deductible as taxes. Automobile li- cense fees are ordinarily taxes and deductible. Postage is not a tax and is not deductible.

 Whether or not the gasoline tax, the use tax, or the sales tax levied by State may be deducted by the individual purchaser depends upon the terms of the State law impos- ing the tax; consequently, the right to the deduction, as between pur- chaser and seller, varies in the dif- ferent States.
