Revenue Bureau Stands Pat On Ruling
That Bad Debts To Political Groups
MAY Be Deducted From Income Taxes

WASHINGTON tH - The Rev
enue Bureau is standing pat on
its rulings that loans to political
parties. if they cannot be col
lected, may be deducted on tax
returns as bad debts.
The bureau is rejecting a sug-
gestion by Sen. Williams (R.-Del.)
that its rulings in four such cases
be reversed.
I A bureau spokesman made this
clear today, although Revenue
Commissioner John B. Dunlap de-
clined official comment pending
an investigation by House tax
scandal probers headed by Rep.
King Cd. Calf }.
The tax bureau said, however,
that to be legally deductible, loans
to political parties must be valid
loans and every effort must be
made to collect them. The spokes-
man said certainly" the bureau
would examine such cases closely
to make certain they are not
actually political contributions,
which cannot be deducted.
Williams said in a Senate speech
Tuesday that three wealthy men
made contributions totaling $4IO,-

WARNS OF ATTACK on
LOAN FUNDS FOR REA

LA CROSSE, WISC-CNS-Heav-
ily-financed propaganda by COM
mercial power interests is weakening
the right Of farmers to borrow REA
funds where needed to build their
own electric generation facilities, an
REA official warned here.
Private interests are seeking to
convince the public that public power
projects are creeping socialism,"
William c. Wise, deputy REA admin
istrator, told the annual meeting of
Dairyland Power Cooperative, big
generating coop. Wise warned that
these interests are specifically at
lacking Dairyland because it has
been so successful"
Last year the generating system
serving % distribution co-ops, ap-
piled more than So million to prin-
cipal and interest on its REA loan,
paid more than $155,000 in taxes
and set aside reserves-yet cut it's
rates 10 per cent and realized mar
gin of more than $330,000.

al plants of like capacity will be
required to meet the requirements of
the midwest"
1t has been suggested that sulfuric
acid, rather than electric power, be
used to process the phosphates in the
Idaho holdings. Bunting said this
would not be feasible. There is not
enough sulfur available in the us.
for this purpose.
The only dependable" source of
sulfuric acid is pyrites, Bunting stat
ed. To ship in enough pyrites for
use of the proposed coop plant would
cost 81 a ton, adding greatly to the
cost of the fertilizer produced.
Bunting said also that four
times as much phosphorus can be
recovered from a given deposit us
ing the electric furnace method
than by use of the sulfuric acid
process. Also, a higher concen-
trate fertilizer, resulting in saw
ing of up to so per cent on freight
costs, could be produced.

FARM INCOME UP SLIGHTLY
LAST MONTH

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Prices received by farmers for the
month ending May Is were up one
per cent, according to the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics. The general
level of prices paid by farmers dur
ing the same period for production
purposes, remained steady.
The increase in income is largely
credited to the $3.50 per hundred
rise in hog prices during the month,
along with slight price rises for cat
tie, calves, wool, soybeans, some
fruits, potatoes and cabbage. Price
declines were noted for dairy prod
ucts, poultry and eggs, cotton, hay,
wheat, oats, barley, sheep, lambs, to-
matoes and onions.
