Reason for Shooting
Mystery to Williams

Mr.. Williams had been connected
with the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Affairs of the Commerce
Department from 1927 until 1899,
his office said. After having been
stationed in Singapore and Batavia
he was sent as a commercial at
tache to Toxic in 1888. He was
placed under the State Department
by reorganization in 1899. He stayed
there consistently except for a brief
leave in the United States in 1899.
when he married Mrs Williams in
San Francisco. They met when
she was travelling from Bombay to
the United States.
Mrs. Williams returned to the
United States in November. l941.
Mr. Williams was interned in De-
cember, 194l, and did not return
until Ambassador Joseph Grew and
other diplomats were exchanged on
the Gripsholm more than a year
ago. He has been attached to the
Office OF Economic Studies here
since then, but his status under the
new reorganization has not yet been
determined.
Before Mr.. Williams left for Chi
cago by plane last night he said he
knew no explanation for the shoot
ing OF his wife.

Asks Housing Shake-up

Establishment of a "slum clear

Commissioners to supplant the pres
ent National Capital Housing Au-
thority was recommended last night
by DR.. E. H. Harris, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations
in addresses before the Lincoln Civic
Association at Francis Junior High
School and the Central Northwest
Civic Association in Garnet-Patter-
son Junior High School.
Because the NCHA has broken
1alth with us, we want its work to
continue but the administration to
be replaced by an entirely different
organization DR.. Harris said. He
aoded that the present setup has
failed to take, care of people in low
income groups.
DR.. Harris cited two lots-OBrien
court at Twentieth and E streets
NV, and Bissel court. Twenty
third and G streets N.W-which he
said NCHA had cleared of houses
occupied by colored families with
out providing other homes for
them.

NEW YORK, Jan 2O.-Robert D.
Murphy, American member of the
Allied Control Commission for Italy,
and former counselor of the Amer
ican Embassy at Vichy, said last
night that the American Govern
ment has no desire to engage in
the internal political disputes of
France"
The charge that we have sup
ported and dealt with one French
man at the expense of another is
not true" the American diplomat
declared in an address to members
OF the American Chamber of Com
merce in France.
The American Government, he
said. knows France can work out
her own internal problems and has
never pretended to support one
French faction against another.
Mr.. Murphy, who has been cred
tied by Washington sources with
playing major role in laying the
groundwork for the successful in
vaSion Of North Africa, said that for
reasons of expediency we dealt with
those Frenchmen we found on the
ground floor and in charge"

TWenty-one out-of-State trust COM
panies face possible revocation OF

nois if an unprecedented opinion by
the Illinois Supreme Court becomes
final, spokesman for the State

The court ruled yesterday that

bank or an additional Office in
Illinois.
Neither the Supreme Courts OF
the United States nor Illinois nor
any other State has ever passed on

opinion said.
The decision denied the Boatmen's

authorize the bank to establish

Paper and Pulp Group

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The Amer

alternative was "a catastrophe

Primary need, the association said
in statement, is for the War Man.
power Commission to "act and act
with effectiveness"
Required domestic paper and
paperboard production for 1914 Is
between 100000 and 1900, 600
tons" the association said, "and q
shortage OF some 100000 tons for
the year is inevitable unless a broad
program of remedial measures is
inaugurated."
1t found supplies of pulpwood
were about IS per cent down and
apparently sufficient for only 13,OOO,-
600 to 100000 tons of paper and
paperboard.
Referring to recommendations to
the War Production Board and VINO

cutting operations, the statement
commented:
Some progress has been made
since that time, but if a paper short
age OF the most serious nature af-
fecting the entire national economy
is to be avoided, this program must
be expanded and vigorously ex-
pedited'
The association reported l943
pulpWood cutting "drastically re-
duced" from 1912, with an average
reduction in the Northeast of 80 per
cent and in the Great Lakes States
of Is per cent
THE fact that inventories of wood
pulp have been progressively re-
duced to workable minimum will
leave no cushion upon which the
industry can fall back in 1914, as
was the case in 1943," the associa-
ton added. The reduction resulted,
the association said, from use in 1943
of almost 1000 cords of wood more
than was received.

hath no man, that he lay down his
life for friend
These words would make fitting
epitaph for Marine Pfc. Jack r.
Stambaugh, 10, of Bowie, Tex, who
lost his life in the battle for Tarawa
when he went to the rescue of a
buddy who had been bayonetted by
Jap.
1t happened just before dawn of
the day on which the island was Sc
cured after one of the bloodieSt bat
ties in Marine Corps history. Pfc.
Stambaugh's unit valiantly had held
off series of Jap counterattacks
throughout the night without giving
an inch
During a pause in the fighting
some Japs infiltrated the lines and
began attacking the marines in their
foXholes. Pfc. Stambaugh heard the
cry of buddy behind him who had
just been bayonetted by Jap. With
his weapon jammed, he came out
with fixed bayonet to aid his buddy.
Suddenly four Japs loomed up in
front of him.
Pfc. Stambaugh killed these Japs
with his bayonet. Just as he had
finished the fourth, Jap officer
sneaked up behind him and killed
the marine with his Saber. Another
man in the company, Pfc Harold L.
Carstens, %, of Kankakee, H., came
upon the scene and had the salts
faction of killing the Jap officer.
On the transport that took him
to the Gilbert Islands Pfc. Stam-

Il don't know how III feel when

Your U. s. Income Tax
This Is No. IS of a Series.)

(ThtS Is No. l8 OF q Sertes.)
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. Ordi-
narily, nearly all individuals use the
cash method. The accrual method
is used mostly by business concerns.
In the cash receipts and disburse-
ments 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 ex-
penses, are shown. Income is con-
structively" received when the
amount Is credited to the account
Of. or set apart for, the taxpayer,
and may be drawn upon by him at
any time. Thus, under the cash re-
ceipts and disbursements method, a
bill rendered by the taxpayer would
not constitute income until paid,
nor would bill rendered to the tax
payer be expense until paid. There
would, however. be constructive re-
ceipt OF a payment If valid check
Is received during the taxable year
even though the check may not
have been deposited or cashed
within that period.
Expenses Deducted.
Under the accrual method, net in
come Is measured in a 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 ac-
crual method accordingly should be
used. In the case of a professional
occupation, such as that of a LAWYER
or physician. where inventories are
not employed. either the cash re-
ceipts and disbursements method OF
the accrual method may be en-
ployed.
Distinction in Expenses.
Business expenses must be distin-
gulshed from capital expenditures
Capital expenditures are those
which result in acquisition of some.
thing OF a permanent nature and dc
not constitute the current cost OF
running business, and, therefore
are not deductible as business ex.
penses. While a distinction between
a capital expenditure and a business
expense is often difficult to draw
a general rule may be stated which
Is applicable in most cases: Capita
expenditures ordinarily result in tn,
acquisition of assets having period:
OF useful life in excess of one year
Where the period of useful life i:
one year or less, that is, where the
asset Is worn out and discarded
within one year from its purchase
the entire cost is deductible from
the income for that year.
