The Internal Revenue Bureau
is trying to collect $745. 800 addi-
tional taxes on the earnings of
the Houston (Tex.) Post, the
newspaper of Welfare Secretary
Oveta Culp Hobby.
This was disclosed today when
the Houston Post Co., operators
of the newspaper and Radio Sta
ton KPRC in Houston. appealed
the dispute to the United States
Tax Court.
At the same time. Gambler
Frank Costello appealed against
a $685. ,523 assessm ent for taxes
and penalties; and Time, Inc,
appealed a $293, ,290 tax dispute.
Taxes which the Government
seeks from the Houston Post Co.
are excess profits levies for 1914
and 1945. The company's petition
filed with the tax court argued
that the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau failed to recognize that the
papers prewar earnings were abb
normally low.
Base Period Low.
Because the pa per's prewar
"base period" earnings were
comparatively low, the company
became subject to heavy excess
profits taxes in prosperous 1914
and 1945.
The petition related that the
Post profits hit bottom during
the depression when it's owner
failed financially, and interests
of Jesse H. Jon es-later to be-
come Secretary Of Commerce
took over. The petition noted
that the Jones interests owned
the competing Houston Chronicle
and the Post languished.
In 1898, the petition said, the
Posts Indebtedness was paid off
It added:
"And at least equally impor-
tant. w. P. Hobby and his wife,
Oveta Culp Hobby, both very
capable executives, began nego-
tiations to purchase control of
the paper from the Jones in
terests, which purchase was con-
summated in December, 1889"
BY 1914 and 1945, the petition
said, the resulting revival of the
paper brought in considerably in
creased revenues-and unfairly
heavy taxes. The company asked

sale Of huge quantities Of bottled
whisky on military posts.
The attack. made before a
House subcommittee investigat-
ing whether the military is COM

well as military personnel.

in liquor on "any premises used
for military purposes. The law,
he said, never repealed, sis OBJ
served chiefly by its breach"
Package stores and bars exist
at practically all our military in
stallations. and where they do
not exist, the 'service-locker
officer and service bootlegger'
takes over"
Some distillers, recognizing
markets they can get through
direct sale to military posts,
have developed special depart
nlents to solicit this type of IL
legal business" he declared.
TN almost every instance,
these clubs and locker -otficers
buy directly from these distillers
and pay no State license fees or
taxes! They sell, almost without
exception, at prices lower than or
equal to the prices at which we,
the retailers. can buy"
Price Lists Identified.
Price lists Mr.. Josephs sub
Hmitted were identified as coming
from Fort Meade, Md: Fort
Monroe, Va; the Marine Bar
racks here and the Fort Myer
officers mess.
The Fort Myer statement,
dated May %. 1853, announced
plans to begin a 'locker system"
as Of June /. It said each par
ticipant" would have to advance
$40 and grant power of attorney
to the locker officer" for the
purpose of procuring stock of
assorted liquors"
The price list identified as COM
ing from Fort Meade referred to
orders for liquors as "Class vi
supplies" and indicated that
liquor would be ordered only for
officers or top-grade noncommis-
stoned officers who live on that
post.
MIR. Josephs charged also that
"a good deal" of the liquor dis
pensed at military posts finds
Its way into the hands Of civilians
and thus removes further po-
tential customers from the re-
tailers."
The association head asked
Congress either to direct Defense
Secretary Wilson to wipe out the
liquor dealing practices or to en-
act legislation toward the same
end.

U. S. TOURIST WILL GET
HIGH RATE ON CONVERTING
ISRAEL BONDS

NEW YORK, (JTA) = Ameri-
can tourists converting Israel
bonds to Israel pounds while
visiting the Jewish State will
henceforth receive 100 pounds
for each dollar in Israel bond
value, according to regulations
just issued by the Israel Finance
Ministry. AS a result, Israel Bonds
now have the most favorable con-
version rate available.
This new benefit for Israel
bondholders is based on the con-
version rate of one pound for one
dollar, with an added premium of
eight percent to tourists. Each
tourist is limited to maximum
of 1000 Israel pounds in pre-
miums each month.
A tourist converting $500 in Is
rael Independence Coupon Bonds
will receive a total of 900 Israel
pounds $500 pounds at the regular
conversion rate, plus 400 pounds
premium). In the case of Israel
Savings Bonds, conversion is
based on the purchase price of
the bond plus accumulated inter-
est. AS result of the new regu-
lations, Israel will become one of
the least expensive countries for
American tourists.

Israelis Discuss Bid For New
American Loan
The American officials, who re-
ceived an extensive briefing on
Israeli economic problems as well
as on all phases of the Middle
East situation as seen from Israel,
were informed that Israel would
make a formal request in Wash
ington soon for a $75,OOO,O00 loan
to fund the major part of short
term obligations amounting to
ST., 100000 which mature within
a year.
Israel will seek the loan from
the Export-Import Bank or from
private American banks with
such loans guaranteed by the Mu-
tual Security Administration. FL
nance Minister Levi Eshkol and
Minister Of Commerce Peretz
Bernstein. who raised the issue
of the loan with the visiting
Americans. expressed the belief
that the funding of these obliga-
tions would save the Jewish State
ten to fifteen million dollars
year.
Meetings with the leaders of
the Jewish State at which the
whole gamut of Middle East prob
lens was covered and in which
the Israel viewpoint was present
ed to the Americans were packed
into a series of meetings the visi-
tors had here and in Tel Aviv.
AS Moshe Sharett, Israeps For
eign Minister, met with Messrs.
Dulles and Stassen, Henry A..
Byroade, Assistant Secretary Of
State, and Douglas Macarthur,
End, Counsellor of the State De-
partment, Walter Eytan, director
General of the Foreign Ministry,
met with other American officials
to disucss some issues in detail.
While the formal communicates
did not throw too much light on
the nature of the discussions at
the various meetings. they were
known to have covered most OF
the pending Middle East ques-
tons. Mr.. Sharett had indicated.
in advance of the Americans ar
rival that the talks would be
continuation of conversations he
had initiated with President
Eisenhower and MIR. Dulles in
Washington last month. He said
the question of Arab-Israel rela-
tons and of American economic
and military aid TO Israel would
be raised. Israel, he added. would
take a number of suggestions
aimed at stabilizing conditions in
the Middle East.

PLAIN TALK
A CERTAIN
GOOD NEIGHBOR"
BY ALFRED SEGAL

As a faithful reporter of the
days doinss I must report a GER
tain honor that was visited upon
one Of our citizens at the Isaac
M. Wise Temple of our town on a
Sabbath evening recently.
Our temple, by guidance of
Rabbi Samuel Wohl, annually
makes special occasion of the
Sabbath on which is read the
commandment: 'Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as myself" from
Leviticus. On that account the
temples high school department
selects one who is nominated
Good Neighbor of the Year."

The temples this years good
neighbor was Alfred Segal. a
columnist. report this not at all
for the purpose Of charging the
fellows ego. He himself says that
he consents to this publication of
his virtue only if it suggests how
a Jew may practice Judaism
away from the synagogue.
Segal hadn't been at all con-
Scious of being a good neighbor.
Far from brooding on any pur-
pose of being a good neighbor, he
passes evenings grabbing off big
stacks of the discard at canasta,
or looking at murders in televi-
sion, or in something more intel
lectual like reading.
Then one evening. a telephone
call summons him. and Rabbi
Wohl is on the line. He starts by
telling Segal he has good news
for him Our high school
council has chosen you good
neighbor Of the year" and the
coronation. you might say. would
take place at next Sabbath eve
service.
Segal was taken by surprise.
Indeed, he had been saying pleas
ant good mornings to neighbors
in the apartment house in which
he resides and helping elderly
ladies into the elevator. But none
of that was the reason he was
being honored as good neighbor.
It seems they thought he had
done good job of being neigh

the daily newspaper on which he
works. He confesses that in that
function he had tried to be neigh
borlY even TO people he had never
met and who didn't live any
where near him.
Well, yes, there was the guy for
whom he had just raised $500 to
pay off his fine and get him out
of the Workhouse where, Segal
thought, he was being unjustly
imprisoned. In the neighborly
way he had spoken up against the
Slums in our town and for decent
public housing.
He had written again and again
on the Determinations that are
on Negroes when they need jobs:
A few weeks ago il was mention
ed in this column that Segal had
been writing for rent control. The
citizen said that was just "a sign
of the Jew" in Segal. Segal felt
flattered. If caring about the rent
