Tax-Free Securities Battle Still On
By PETER EDISON Waterbury Democrat Washington

Waterbury Democrat Washington
 Correspondent
 The bell is about to ring in the Tax Court of the United States, marking the end of another not-so- fast round in the long fight over whether the federal government should have the right to tax the in come on tax-free securities issued by municipalities, states or the sub divisions thereof. Specifically, what the Tax Court is about to decide is whether the Bureau of Internal Revenue may collect taxes on $2,- 493.62 of income representing in terest on bonds issued by the Port of New York Authority, which is a proprietary inStrumentality of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-01-11

clare this sum as income on his federal tax return. Shamberg re- sisted on the ground that Port of New York Authority bonds were tax-free. Shamberg died the same year the Bureau of Internal Rev enue began suit, but his estate car- ried on the action. Evidence in the case was presented before the U, S. Tax Court in Washington last summer, and the court is preparing to hand down its decision early in January.
 CASE TO. SUPREME COURT
 This opinion will not, however, settle the issue. No matter how it is decided, the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court for another round. If the decision here goes in favor of the estate of Alexander J. Shamberg, Treasury officials will have to begin all over again their effort to levy taxes on state or municipal securities. If the govern ment gets the decision, however, the Treasury Department may then be expected to recommend to Congress the enactment of a new law to con- form to the Sunpreme Court deci- sion and provide for federal taxa tion of securities issued by state and local governments.
 Throughout this action, Treasury Department officials have tried to make clear that if the Bureau of Internal Revenue wins the Sham berg case, the government will not attempt to collect taxes on back is- sues of these securities, but only on new issues. There are now some $20, 1000, 900, ,000 worth of these tax free securities outstanding, although the states have been retiring their indebtedness at . rapid date during the prosperous war years. Because the interest from these securities is now tax-free, the federal govern ment estimates that 1t loses some $270, 100000 in income taxes every year. Such securities have always been sought after by individuals and institutions wanting to invest part of their money so as to reduce tax able income.
 ". FROM WHATEVER
 SOURCES DERIVED
 The entire argument goes back to study of English, an interpreta- tion of the meaning of the 18th Amendment to the Constitution which provides that Congress shall bouo fIa TNOu-ar to Iax, ataI nnIlant taxes on incomes, from whatever sources derived" and so forth. The from whatever sources derived" is the key to the whole thing.
 When ratification of this amend ment was being sought, Charles E. Hughes, then governor of New York raised the question of whether it would not permit federal taxation of income on state bonds. Senator William E. Borah took the lead in assuring the states it would not be so interpreted. And Cordell Hull, then chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, put a defin- ite exclusion clause to exempt local governmental securities from the first revenue act passed after the 18th Amendment was ratified in 1913.
 A similar exemption has remained in the revenue code ever since, and nearly 100 efforts to secure a con- Stitutional amendment to remove this immunity from federal taxa ton have all been defeated. It is this statutory restriction which has caused the Treasury to take the rather roundabout way of remov- ing the barrier by starting court action to collect income taxes on interest from Port of New York Authority bonds.

WE, THE WOMEN
THE Women In Cheering Section Learn Valuable Lessons

a woman employee tells the man working at the next desk. Such tactics. which keep her popular in the office, are nothing more or less than the applause of well-trained rooter.
 Socially, of course, women are al- ways in the cheering section. They don't dare monopolize the conversa- tion when there are men around. And their greatest social asset isn't the ability to talk intelligently or put over a funny story. The women who have social charm are the ones who know how to listen and when to laugh. That's a form of root ing, too.
 STICK BY HIM
 It may be necessary for a wom- an to be her husbands helpmate, but nothing she ever does to keep the family going brings her as much credit from her huSand as her readiness to stick by him through good times and bad, al- ways having enough faith to egg him on with ''The breaks have been against you-but just wait, you'll show 'em."
 So if the girls who are students at Slippery Rock don't learn any, thing else during their college car- eers but how to be confident, Suc- cessful rooters, they will be we'll trained for life. And that goes whether they make a career of busi- ness, society or marriage-or com- bination of all three.

and the Roman released her hand, leaving a red band about her wrist and wilder fear now in her heart.
 She could not afterward recall how it happened. Only in her ears she heard her huspard's cry and saw the Romans sword driping red in the sunlight, and she put the child down by his father who appeared dead, and sent the Roman from her with words of loathing that were sharper than the sword he had unsheathed.
 She knelt by Jonathan and saw that yet he lived while the quick flow of his blood soaked his gar ments. "Johatl1an," she said, and her eyes were pitiful, Jonathan"
 Death had cleared his vision so at the last he saw her as she had always been. Her sweetness and her loving heart were evident now though he had not guessed their richness before. ''Michal," She caught his whisper and her eyes brin1med with tears for his pain.
 Jonathan" she said, forgetting the wrong he had done her and sick with longing to heal his wound.
 Malachi. Rome," he said and she hooded, unable to speak.
 He said weakly, while her hands sought to stay the blood that drained from him, "A bundle ot myrrh is my well beloved unto me"
 He did not speak again and when Drusus came her head was upon Jonathan's hands that she held in her own and she was shaking with soundless sobbing while unheard beside her the child Malachi screamed with fear.
 Michal drew a long breath and the Roman placed an arm about her, drawing ner to him while Joel watched. "Druslls," she said T have given Malachi to Flavia. Canst thou not understand how l would forget Jonathan and the VOWS he nader"
 WOuAO HUI WOu1Iu CAAcC' MaCLtAl, he told her. "Yet how can I serve thee if thou art not miner"
 If thou wo,lldst serve me-" she said, not knowing how clearly she spoke and that Joel heard the words, eff thou wouldst serve me, tell my husband how thou didst find me with Jonathan's blooG upon me and horror growing among my flowers"

 Drusus and Michal stood togeth- CT under the few fig trees, and ap- preaching them Joel walked quietly. 1t was not in his mind to hide his presence from them, yet he was halted by Michal's cry before they saw his.
 "Drusus, thou are not come to reproach mel"
 My little Michal," he said. "Forever thou art mine"
 "Thou vert Jonathan's friend" she said. 'aThou canst not blame me if I would forget"
 "Not blame thee, Michal?" he asked. Not blame thee when thou hast forgotten the promise Jona- than made to mel"
 She said quickly, 'Drusus, thou knowest the shock that was mine when Jonathan died. Thou canst not lay upon me blame for the horror I feel near all Romans. would not have it so, for thou vert always kind, but I cannot yet bear that Roman hand should touch me"
 Drusus was not angered at her words, Joel noted. He pleaded eloouently. '"Thou shalt forget, Michal. If thou wouldst take from thy heart the horror thou hast hidden rhere-if thou wouldst let the bitter words fall now upon the cold earth here, they would die unnourished and finally disappear.
 ATichal cried sharply, ''Dost thou think l nourish them, Drusus? If I should cast them now at thee, thou wouldst see how hard and cruel they arel"
 The Roman looked at her an- guished young face, doubting the wisdom of recalling the past to her. And both were unaware of Joel who dared not now advance.
 Tn the silence that fell upon them Michal lived aga1n the last day of life with Jonathan.
 She stood in the sunlight and the child Malachi turnbled laughing at her feet. Her dark curlS were blown back from her glowing face, and ir- to the lovely scene of afternoon the husband of Flavia entered.
 He put his hand roughly upon her hand that reached for the child and she gazed ct him with her golden eyes wide and startled and her mouth closed upon her laugh ter like red bud closing its petals.
 The child clung to her gown, not yet frightened by the stranger, and looked up with that look that was so like the ooyish look of Drusus. And the Roman asked his brutal question. "Who is the child?"
 "He is my son." she answered, and her voice was steady despite her fear
 His response brought the bright blood to her cheeks as vivid as where his fingers frightened upon her arm. Thy child? Who is his father?"
 She had guessed his identity now and she answered valiantly. "Dost thou not know that thou art treSpassing? Even Roman must know that it is not safe to insult a wife in her own home"
 'Who is the child?" he demand ed again.
 The child was clinging to her and she put her free arm about him and lifted him against her shoulder, hiding his face there. ''The son of my husband and my self" she said.
 Thou are lovely liar" he said roughly.
 Nay" she said proudly. T am not so. do not follow the Roman practice
 He repeated his charge with unhurried assurance. Thou art lovely liar. The child is Ro- man."
