HORSEMAN'S WIFE
HELD FOR MURDER
UlmO Randle, Sd, Not AS
Stunning Responsibility
for Mates Debts

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 5-(UP)-
Ulmo s. Randle, III, socially prom
inent horseman and real estate OPP
orator, served notice today that he
no longer would be responsible foH
the debts of his 31-year-old attrac-
tive third wife who Is charged with
murder and attempted murder.
In a Personal Notice" inserted
in a Washington newspaper, Randle
said: IT will not be responsible for
any debts, other than those con-
tracted by myself personally"
Meanwhile, his wife, Mrs. Helen
Aileen Randle, whose ability as
pianist was once disparagingly COM
mented upon by the 17-year-old
high school boy she is accused Of
Staying, may remain, in the county
jail until the April term OF the SUI
preme court-or at least until the
grand jury acts.
Mrs. Randle beat Allen Wiley on
the head with an old shoe some time
ago when he said her piano playing
was sloppy. probably because you
have dishpan hands" Wiley was
an accomplished pianist and a close
friend Of Randle.
Last Saturday when Wiley en-
tered a family argument" between
the Randles and, according to a wit
ness, called Mrs. Randle something
mo woman would stand for" he
was shot in the stomach.
During the same argument she
shot her husband In the left leg with
the same 20 cabiler rifle.
George Woelfel, attorney for Mrs.
Randle, apparently has abandoned
plans to get his Client free on bond
or by writ of habeas corpus. He
had said he would try the latter
yesterday, but did not. He indicated
that she would remain in jail at
least until the grand jury acts, and
perhaps until she comes to trial In
April.
Funeral services for Wiley were
held yesterday almost within sight
Of the Jail where Mrs. Randle is one
Of two women prisoners and where
the sherifT's once admits that there
have been complaints about the food
being pretty BAD.
No one Is allowed 70 see Mrs. RAM
die. although she Is allowed soma

during the daytime.

YOUR INCOME
TAX
NO. 20
METHODS OF ACCOUNTING

METHODS OF ACCOUNTING
A Federal income tax return may
be prepared in accordance with any
method Of accounting regularly used
by the taxpayer which correctly re-
fleets his income and expenditures.
Two main methods Of keeping ac-
counts are followed, (a) the cash
receipts and disbursements method,
and (b) the accrual method. In the
cash receipts \and disbursements
method all items Of income actually
or constructively received whether
in cash or property or services), and
only those amounts actually paid
out for deductible expenses, are
shown. Income is "constructively"
received when the amount Is credit
ed to the account Of, or set apart
for, the taxpayer, and may be
drawn upon by him at any time.
Thus, under the cash receipts and
disbursements method, bill rend-
cred by the taxpayer would not coil-
stitute income until paid, nor would
a bill rendered to the taxpayer be
expense until paid. There would
however, be constructive receipt Of
o payment II q valid check Is receiv-
ed during the taxable year even
though the check may not have
been deposited or cashed within
that period.
Under the accrual method, net in
comes Is measured IN q broad sense
by the excess Of income earned over
expenses incurred. Under the ac-
crual method, income arises when
earned, even though not received,
and deductible expenses arise when
incurred, whether paid or not with
in the taxable period.
Where inventories are carried in
the business, as In the case Of store
operations, only the accrual method
IN reporting purchases and sales
will clearly reflect income and the
accrual method accordingly should
be used. In the case Of a profess
sional occupation, such as that Of
lawyer or physician, where inven-
tories are not employed, either the
cash receipts and disbursements
method or the accrual method may
be employed.
Business expenses must be dis
tinguished from capital expendi-
lures. Capital expenditures are
those which result in the acquisition
of something Of a permanent ma
ture and do not constitute the cur
rent cost Of running business, and.
therefore, are not deductible as bus
mess expenses. While distinction
between capital expenditure snd
business expense is often DIM
cult to draw, q general rule may be
stated applicable in most cases:
Capital expenditures ordinarily re-
suit IN the acquisition Of assets hav-
ing periods Of useful life in excess
Of one year. Where the period Of
useful life Is one year or less. that
Is, where the asset Is worn out and
discarded within one year from its
purchase, the entire cost Is deduct
ible from the income for that year.
A limitation upon the deducti-
ibility Of items as business expenses
Is that they must be paid or Incur
red within the taxable year. n the
taxpayer Is on the cash receipts and
disbursements basis. then the ex-
pensee must be paid within the
year; II he & on the accrual meth
cd, such expenses are not allowable
unless incurred within the year.

NEW RADIO CAN
SEND OWN SOS.
Portable, Waterproof Ma
chine Also Has Code
Identification

Fort Monmouth; N. j., Feb. g.
(UP)-The U. 8. Army Signal Corps
Is developing portable. waterproof
radio, which sends automat ically an
8. Q. s. call and q code for iden-
tiflcation. .sl# W r.. { n
The signal corps Is obtaining the
sets as rapidly as possible for use
on combat and transport planes fly
ing over water, and for lifeboats or
ships In submarine areas.
The radio is held between the
knees and cranked. It not only
sends out radio signals, which can
be heard at last rs miles under all
conditions and UP to 500 miles at
night under favorable circumstances
but also blinker signals to attract
airplanes passing overhead.
The operator doesn't have to
know Morse code. A record inside
plays the message. The set will work
even after II Is submerged.
There Is, Of course, the possible
ity that such O distress signal would
call an enemy submarine to the
scene, to lie In wait for the rescue
boat. It would behazardous for q
cargo ship to attempt such res
cue, but q light warship equipped
with an Asdic detector could run
over the area, make sure 1t was
clear of submarines, and then make
the pickup.
This mercy radio transmitter Is
only one of approximately $4,000
different items Of equipment pro-
cured by the signal corps, some Of.
which were exhibited to reporters
who visited the Eastern Signal
Corps Training Center at Fort
Monmouth.
