Lack Of Funds PeriIs
Service Center for
Colored Soldiers
Bunneker Unit to Close
Unless Lonhom Act Gosh
Is Mode Available

The Banneker Servicemen's Cen
ter for colored soldiers and war
workers may have to close If Lam
ham Act funds for heating and
lighting the center are not made
available by December /, it was an
normced at the District Recreation
Board meeting yesterday.
Opened September 81, the center
has been housing about 125 soldiers
every week and serving as recre-
alton center for about / 400 civilians
every week. Money from the Com
munity War Fund is used to pay
the center personnel, it was ex-
planned by Recreation Supt. Milo
F. christensen. Funds for heating,
lighting and cleaning, however, were
to have come from the maintenance
and operation appropriations of
the Lanham Act funds.
Although application for the Lam
ham Act funds was made August l,
Mr.. Christensen said, the necessary
appropriation Of almost $1,000 has
not yet been made.
Debts Piling Up.
Meanwhile the debts are piling
up" commented Harry S. Wender,
board chairman. He expressed the
fear some official had pigeon
holed" the request for money. The
delay is inexplicable, declared Mr..
Wender, when Government officials
were prominent at the dedication
ceremonies and fully understood the
arrangement for Government funds
to maintain the center.
The date of closing is tentative,
Mr.. Christensen emphasized. He
said he and officials of Recreation
Services, Inc, are making every ef-
fort to find out from the Federal
Works Agency if there is hope the
money might be made available be-
fore the center has to close.
Mr.. christensen was authorized
by the board to ask the Commits
sioners to pass on to FWA a request
for money to equip and operate
two more war recreation centers.
These are to be at 1917 and 1925 R
street NV. .,-
The Classification Committee of
the board reported on the results of
lengthy effort to prepare classif-
cation charts for positions offered
under the recreation department.
Until the request for classification
OF recreation department employees
has been approved by the District
Personnel Board and the Civil
Service Commission the employees
must remain on per diem salary
basis. Under this system they would
not be eligible for overtime COM
pensation of Government employees
which is now being considered by
the Senate.
Special Committee Named.
At the request of Supt. of Schools
Frank w. Ballou, a member of the
board, a special committee with
power. to act was appointed to
consider transfer of recreation board
property near the Barry Farms
playground to serve as site for
temporary school building.
Referring to the transfer as "ur-
gent" DR.. Ballou explained that
erection Of the much-needed school
vas delayed because the original
nte lies within the route of the new
6uitland Parkway. School officials
hope to use recreation board land
for the school. he indicated.
Several of the Fairgrounds at the
larger schools will be open for recre-
alton tomorrow and Friday despite
general closing of the schools for
tire registration, Mr.. Christensen
announced. Larger Fairgrounds
also will be opened during Thanks
giving and Christmas holidays.

Income Tax
NO. 80
BAD DEBTS-METHOD OF
DEDUCTION

But debts constitute consider
able item in the returns of many
taxpayers and may be treated in
one of two ways-either by deduc-
ton from gross income in respect
to debts asce,'Gined to be worthless
either in W4lCe or in part and
charged eff. c by a deduction of a
reasonable addition to a reserve for
bad debts. Taxpayers were given
of the two methods The method
used in the return for 1921 must be
used in returns for subsequent
years unless permission is granted
by the COMMISSIONS, OF Internal
Revenue to change 10 the other
method. Application to change
must be made at least 80 days prior
to the close of the taxable year
for which the change is to Be ef-
fective. However, taxpayer filing
first return for 194l may seiect
either of the two methods, subject
to the approval CT the Commission
err upon examination of the return.
Permission to adopt the reserve
method is limited to taxpayers
having large number of accounts
where credit is extended over a
considerable period of time. 1t is
not granted for the purpose OF
handling one specific debt.
What constitutes reasonable
addition to a reserve for bad debts
must be determined in the light OF
the facts. and will vary as between
classes of business and with condi-
tons of business prosperity. 1t will
depend primarily upon the total
amount of debts outstanding as OF
the close of the taxable year, those
arising currently as well as those
arising in prior taxable years, and
the total amount OF the existing
reserve. In case subsequent realiza-
tons upon outstanding debts prove
to be more or less than estimated
at the time OF the creation of the
eXising reserve, the amount OF the
excess or inadequacy in the existing
reserve should be reflected in the
determination of the reasonable adj
dition necessary in the taxable year.
A taxpayer using the reserve meth
cd should show in his return the
volume of charge sales Cor other
business transactions for the year,
and the percentage of the reserve
to such amount, the total amount
of notes and accounts receivable at
the beginning and end of the tax
able year, and the total amount the
debts ascertained to be worthless
and charged against the reserve
during the taxable year.
