In Cavern by Rising Water
BY the Assoeiofed Press

MUOTATHAL, Switzerland
Aug. 20.-Four Swiss men have
been trapped in an underground
cavern near here for five days, po-
lice disclosed today.
The men entered the under

sible to communicate with them.
"A diver from Zurich has been or
dered to stand by for possible res
cue operations.
Police said they believed the
men were in no immediate dan
ger. Food sufficient for 10 days
had been left in the cavern by a
previous party Of explorers.
The greatest danger to the men
at present, experts said, is the
cold. The temperature inside the
mountain where the men are
trapped was estimated to be about
~ degrees.
The trapped party was led by

Carson Faces
$1,420,068 Tax
Demand by u. 5.
Accused Of Falling
To Report All Income
Padding Deductions
By jones (. Roper

The Internal Revenue Bureau,
it was learned today, is trying to
collect $1.42O,O68 in taxes and
penalties from Henry M. Carson,
the fast-talking wartime NUM-
tions maker.
The tax case grew out of a SEN
|sational 1916 congressional inves-
ltigation of Carson. his brother
Murray and Chairman Andrew j.
May of the House Military Affairs
Committee. All were convicted on
July Is, 1947. of conspiracy that
led to defrauding the Government
on war contracts. Each went to
prison under sentence of eight
months to two years. Henry was
released from the Federal prison
lat Danbury, Conn, on June 13,
1851.
The Government now wants
Henry Carson to pay 81, 1,420, ,068
additional for the tax years 1912
to 1916. It charged Carson failed
to report much of his income and
claimed too many deductions. On
top of this the Government de-
manded so per cent fraud penal
tiles.
Report on Income Cited.
The Revenue Bureau said Cars
son reported a gross income Of $19,- =
I312 in 1912, when his income was
ST. reported $17,134 in 1943,
when his income was 500, ,529; re-
ported $75,049 in 1914, when his
income was SAT-. .453: filed no re-
turn in 1945. when his income
was $219,915. and claimed a loss
of $5,385 in 1946. when his income
was $l79.7s5.
The Government sought extra
personal income taxes of $794, ,486,
plus penalties of $441,574-mostly
for alleged fraud. In addition the
Government billed Carson for
$188,007 in taxes of the United
States Engine & Pump Co., which
the Government said Carson took
over.
The case came to light when
Carson appealed to the United
States Tax Court to block Inter-
nal Revenues claims.
Denies Any Intent to Evade.
In his appeal Carson said he
denies any intent to evade the
law or avoid payment of the cor
rect amount of the tax and denies
that his returns were false or
fraudulent"
He said he could not file his
1945 return due to causes beyond
his control" Then he pointed
out that he was in Washington
facing a Congressional investiga-
ton in 1916, just when he was
supposed to be filing his 1945 in
come tax return.
He protested that the Govern
ment, at that time, seized his
records so he could not figure out
his tax anyway, even if he had
had time. He added that the Gov
ernment still has many of his
records and he is unable to deny
in detail some of the Internal

On Rent Control
Again Challenges
U. S. Employees on
Arlington Board
By Tom Burke

A new challenge to the right
of Federal employees to hold local
Office in Arlington County was
filed today in Alexandria Federal
Court.
Arlington attorneys John Locke
Green and William Winston. rep
resenting three apartment de-
velopments in the county, filed
the suit. which also seeks to bar
action on rent control.
The petition declares that q
section of the United States Code
prohibits Federal employees who
receive an annual salary Of $2,500
from holding any other remun-
erative Office.
The developers ask a declara-
tory judgment that two Federal
employees on the Arlington County
Board, Chairman Robert w. Cox
and Alan L. Dean, are diSquali-
fled from serving.
Restrainer Order Asked.
The suit also asked a restrain-
ling order preventing the two
board members from voting
Saturday on a proposed resolu-
ton asking reinstatement of rent
control in the county. Judge
Sterling Hutcheson signed a
temporary order yesterday at his
home in Boydton, Mecklenburg
County, Va. 1t expires in 20 days
unless permanent injunction is
granted.
Arlington now is awaiting a de-
cision of the Virginia Court Of
Appeals on ruling of the County
Circuit Court that Federal en-
ployes are ineligible to hold local
Office under an old Virginia
statute. This earlier suit, brought
by Mr.. Green in behalf of six
county taxpayers, names Mr.. Dean
Jas defendant, but the ruling will
affect Mr.. Cox also. It may also
affect board member Daniel A.
Dugan, who was a Federal en-
Iploye when elected, but has since
Ientered private business.
Mr.. Green said the suit filed
yesterday may pose a threat to
members of the Arlington School
Board since three of its five mem
bers are Federal employees.
Plaintiffs in yesterdays action
are Lyon Properties. Inc; Glebe
Courts Apartments, Inc, and
Glebe Apartments, Inc. Ofiicers
of the three companies were listed
as Frank Lyon, vice president OF
Lyon Properties; William p. Ames,
president of Glebe Courts, and Ar
thur Hirsh, president of Glebs
Apartments.
