Technicalities In tax laws should
work as much to protect the tax
payer as to prevent tax dodging,
the United States Court Of Claims
declared yesterday.
Chief Judge Marvin B. Jones
described legal technicality al
"a two-edged sword" The opin-
ion he wrote reversed the Internal
Revenue Bureau and allowed a
$10,029.19 refund of taxes on the
estate of the late Mrs. Margaret
E. Kelly of Washington.
Mrs. Kelly's son, John S. Kelly,
head of lumber company at 212l
Georgia avenue NV, brought suit
with the National Metropolitan
Bank and Harold S. Roberts
against the bureau. The bank and
Mr.. Roberts. a certified public
accountant, were executors of the
estate of Mrs. Kelly who died in
August, 1943.
The suit dealt with two insur-
ance policies, aggregating $35, 900,
taken out several years previously
by Mr.. Kelly on his mothers life.
Mr.. Kelly paid the premiums, the.
court was told.
Upon the death of Mrs. Kelly
the insurance company paid the
proceeds of the policies to Mr..
Kelly as beneficiary. The Internal
Revenue Bureau ruled that the
proceeds should have been in
cluded in Mrs. Kelly's estate. It
assessed a $13,432.1l deficiency
tax against the estate.
This was paid but Mr.. Kelly and
the executors appealed to the
Court of Claims for a refund

LAKE SUCCESS, Nov. IL
Small country opposition broke
into the open today against ad-
ministrative plans for an Ameri-
can-sponsored Korean aid pro-
gram.
The little nations, led by Chile,
want to switch top authority from
an agent general to the seven
nation U. N. commission for the
Unification and Rehabilitation of
Korea. The Economic and Social
Council already has approved the
American plan making the agent
general head man.
American sources here charac-
terized the opposition as a grab
for political power and prestige
through the Korean relief and re-
habilitation program. Small ma
tions' representatives denied this
accusation.
