Tax Adviser Faces Sentence
For Foi|ing to File Own Taxes

Joseph T. Sherman. q former
Washington tax consu1tant
whose chief client was jailed
for income tax evasion, is sched-
uled for sentencing on Septem-
ber 8 for failing to file his own
Federal income tax returns for
1851 and 1852.
Judge Albert v. Bryan ac-
cepted a guilty plea In Alexan-
dria Federal Court yesterday and
agreed to a defense motion to
postpone sentencing.
Sherman was one of several
Washington persons retained two
years ago by Garry D. Iozia. New
Jersey businessmen, to help him
prevent the Justice Department
from prosecuting him for income
tax evasion. Iozia, who told a
House Ways and Means Com
mittee here in March, 1858, that,
he had paid total of $115.O00
to Sherman and others in a vain
attempt to halt the prosecution,
was later sentenced to two years
in prison.
Sherman also worked in
Washington as a public rela-
tions man and a part-time en-
ploye of the Democratic Party
here. He lived in Alexandria,
where he was president of the
Alexandria Little Theater. He

In Senate Slated

| Senate Majority Leader john
son said today the Senate will
take up the bill unanimously
reported from the Senate Dis
Itrict Committee for an elected
form of city government here,
His announcement came after
1.-THE Senate Democratic Policy
Committee had cleared the bill
for floor action at an early
date"
| The bill was reported from the
Senate District Committee two
months ago. It would provide
for the election of a mayor, city
council, school board and a nom
voting District delegate in the
House.
Two similar bills have been
passed by the Senate. only to be
buried in the House District Com
mittee.
The Senate also has opened
the way to action on a bill re-
ported by the Senate District
Committee to broaden the powers
lof the District Public Utilities
Commission. This would include
the important provision that the
Public Utilities Commission be
given power to regulate the fare
to be charged to school children,
now fixed by law at 2 cents.
Under the proposed bill, this
could be raised to as much as
half the adult fare.

for the Richmond Office Of the
Internal Revenue Service, testi-
fed that Sherman owed the
Government $36,3s4.77 in taxes
and penalties from l948 through
1852. He said Sherman also
failed to file returns from 1910
to 1948, but his taxes are not
Icollectible that far back.
Sherman's lawyer asked the
lpostponement in sentencing in
order to give his client a chance
to file the missing tax forms
and make some restitution"

Hospitals to Ask Greater

lUCS is unable to meet an esti-
