5000 More Agents
Ito Find Tax Evaders
BY the Associated Press


income tax evaders in a move to
avert any increase in tax rates
came yesterday from Senator
Maybank, Democrat. of South
Carolina. He said he will press for
an additional 5000 internal rev.
enue agents to help handle the job.
II am unalterably opposed to
any tax increase" Sen. Maybank
declared in outlining his alterna-
tive plan for increasing govern
ment receipts.
Sen. Maybank is chairman OF a
Senate Appropriations subcommit-
tee through which funds for en-
forcement of the Federal tax laws
are funneled. He said he will
sponsor legislation aimed at boil
stering the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau's tax collection force.
Sen. Maybank spoke out after
top adviser to President Truman
said privately that the Chief
Executive will ask Congress in q
special message to, cut some war
time excise taxes at the new ses-
sion which begin Tuesday. But
the White House confdant added
that Mr.. Truman will couple that
recommendation with request
for new taxes in other fields to
strike at the Federal deficit.
S Billion Deficit Estimated.
Administration officials have es-
timated that outgo will exceed in
come by about $5.500.0 100000 for
the fiscal year which ends next
June 30.
There is plenty of support in
Congress for a reduction of the
excise levies on such items as tele-
phone bills, luggage, furs. jewelry
cosmetics and transportation tick
cts. And there is plenty of oppo-
sition, on the other hand, to boost
ing other taxes.
Senator Maybank's statement
was relayed to the Senator's Of
flee here from his home in
Charleston, S. c. He recalled that
at the last session the administra-
ton asked that the Internal Rev
enue Bureau be given an addi-
tional 1000 collection agents.
The Senate went along with
that request. but the Hose voted
to increase the staff by only l.
$50 agents A compromise fixed
the number at 1000.
This year. said Senator May
bank. II am going to do every
thing possible to provide the
money for at least 5000 more
agents"
House Sentiment Echoed.
In demanding breakdown
Maybank echoed the sentiment of
two members of the House Ways
and Means Committee. Chair
man Doughton and Representa-
tive Forand, Democrat, of Rhode
Island. Both said earlier last
week that the Treasury ought to
be given every aid for an all-out
enforcement drive against evasion.
They said such a drive, plus
the plugging of tax loopholes,
might produce enough additional
revenue to come close to balanc-
ing the budget.
There have been estimates that
the Government loses as much as
SIS, ,000, 100000 annually through
and evasions.
A spokesman for the Internal
Revenue Bureau said the agency
now has about $4,000 "front-line".
enforcement officers. nearly all of
whom devote full time to income
taxes. '.<.s
Senator Maybank said that in
fiscal 1946 each revenue agent in
the field brought in an average Of
$50, ,708: in 1947. $73,805; in 1948.
$89.271; and in the first seven
months of 1949. $50.066. Senator

gate figure on the collections.

Record Number Of Calls
For Doctors Reported

The District Medical Society is
receiving the largest number of
calls in it's history from persons
requiring doctors care, principally
for influenza and colds, it was
learned today.
Last month the association re-
ceived $4,000 calls Tor doctors.
These calls are made to the asso-
ciation's headquarters when per-
sons are unable to contact their
doctor either in his Office or at
his home.
The highest number of calls re-
ceived in any one day this month
was 750, which is an all-time high.
Wednesday more than 600 were
received.
The Health Department, how
ever, is not receiving many re-
ports of flu cases although they
admit there are a large number
in the city.
1t is believed that the cases
handled by Washington doctors
are not severe ones, and therefore
the doctors are not reporting them
to the department.

Japanese Girl and Herd. c. Fionce Finally Meet
BY Fred De Luna

With a Buddhist gesture of love

West last night.
Surrounded by photographers
and newsmen at Union Station, a
Japanese woman, whom love had
carried across an ocean and a con-
tinent, stepped daintily into the
arms of her American husband
to-be.
"Watakushi wa anata o ishii

much"

Their replies drowned out in a

fondly. trying to express in an in

meant after a year of hopeful
waiting.

For both MIR. Klotzbach 49,
year-old horticulturist and free

project in Japan. and she was the
head waitress in the American
restaurant.

Mr.. Klotzbach, 1--WE were intro

immigration laws are particu-

Last February 7, Congress agreed
to, allow Miss Shigeno to be-
come a permanent resident OF
this country.

PSC Ruling Against
Rises to Be Token to
Courts by Company

~outl> Wy SoiifPdHy
Telephone rates In Maryland
will remain unchanged, at least
for the present.
The Maryland Public Service
Commission ruled yesterday the
schedule of charges now in effect
cannot be raised. At the same
time, the commission made per-
manent the existing temporary"
rates. -
The decision was filed on an
application of the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. of Balti-
more City, which services tele-
phones throughout the State.
Company Plans Appeal.
Immediately after the PSC
opinion was handed down, the
company indicated it would ap-
peal to the courts.
w. G. Morrel, vice president and
general manager, declared in a
formal statement that the decision
simply means that we must now
consider what further steps will
be required to restore our earn
ings to satisfactory level" He
added:
'Protection of the interests of
the public We serve, the people
who have invested their savings in
the telephone business and our
employees demands that we ex-
haust every means at our disposal
to insure the financial soundness
OF the company"
The Public Service Commission
held, on the other hand, that the
financial return allowed the c. &
P. "is rather generous.
SIS Million Boost Sought.
The rates now in effect bring in
for the company little over 81
million year more than the per-
manent rates formerly in effect.
The utility sought increases which
would have produced another $2.5
million.
The company never specified
how 1t would revise charges if the
PSC permitted it to adopt a
schedule to provide the additional
$2.5 million. When the rates were
last raised, the increase for resi-
Dental phones averaged about sol
cents.
The commission said the pres
ent rates would enable the tele-
phone company to earn an annual
net income of $6,176, $50, which it
figured to be 5.54 per cent on the
value of company property set at
Sill ,5S4.909. The company con-
tends, however, that the replace
ment value would be $144 million.
The commission said general
knowledge tells us that the peak
in many costs affecting the opera
tons of this company, as well as
its construction costs, has been
passed.
mot Cut to Fine Edge"
"It would appear that the COM
pany may look forward to easier
times and be able to produce a
higher rate of net income from
the same number of revenue
dollars"
Elsewhere in it's 50-page opln-
ion the PSC declared:
''The conclusion is inescapable
that this company has not at
tempted to finance itself eco
nomically.
"Such comfortable economies
are properly a matter for man
agement to consider. but this
commission must also weigh the
effect of the company's policy
upon the cost chargeable to the
consumers.
ITO that end this commission
is of the opinion that the net op-
Grating income as found does not
cut to a fine edge but contains
generous latitude for contingent
cies or other unforeseeable fac
tors"
