fiurries all night, the men were
not found until 9:25 am. today
by a Navy patrol plane from
the Severn River Naval Com
mand. During the night the
Navy and Coast Guard searched
fruitlessly with boats.
Returned to Annapolis, the
men appeared no worse for their
experience and declined the as
sistance of a Navy doctor await
ing them.
"The only trouble" said Mr..
Duckett, ''is that we didn't
catch one fish,"
The men had fished for rock
near Severn River Bridge, and
about 5 pm. decided to 60 in.
AS they turned back. the rudder
broke and then the anchor failed
to hold, putting them adrift.
The wind blew them 1.5 miles
southwest of Thomas Point
Light. about 8 miles south OF
Annapolis.
Mr.. Duckett said they cooked
an evening meal, but did NOT
have enough fuel for breakfast.
They were warmly dressed and
kept fairly warm by remaining
in the cabin. The men said they
were never worried about res
cue, for they knew parties would
start searching.
After the Navy plane located
the boat, a helicopter was sum-
moned to hold the location until
the Navy rescue boat arrived.

Net Worth
Theory in Tax
Cases Upheld

In a major test of the Gov
ernment's moves against sus-
pected tax evaders, the Supreme
Court today upheld the met
worth" theory used by the In
ternaT Revenue Service in as
sessing tax deficiencies.
The overall decision came in
opinions written by Justice
Clark on four cases from various
parts of the country. The court
was unanimous, 8 to 0, in all
except one of the opinins. In
that case Justice Duglas dis
sented.
Under the met worth" proceed
ure, as explained by Justice
Clark, the Government for many
years has applied the theory in
cases where it concludes that a
taxpayers records are made
quate as a basis for determining
tax liability.
In such instances the Govern
ment has attempted to establish
what it calls an opening net
worth" or total net value of the
taxpayers assets at the begin
ming of given year.
1T then proves increases in
the taxpayers net worth for each
succeeding year during the peri
cd under examination and calcu-
lates the difference between the
adjusted net values of the tax
payers assets at the beginning
and end of each of the years
involved" Justice Clark wrote.
1.-THE taxpayers non- n-deductible
expenditures. including living ex-
penses, are added to these in
creases and if the resulting fig
ure for any year is substantially
greater than the taxable income
reported by the taxpayer for that
year, the Government claims the
excess represents unreported tax
able income"
