Is Hurt in Try
To Look at Queen

STRANRAER, Scotland, Aug
II tP.-Thirteen persons were
injured in two separate accidents
yesterday while trying to get q
good look at royalty.
The more serious incident
came late in the day when Queen
Elizabeth II and the Duke OF
Edinburgh. who are cruising
around Britain in the royal
yacht Britannia. were sailing
out Of Stranraer Harbor.
A crowd pushed out onto an
abandoned railway bridge to
wave goodbye. The bridge COL
lapsed and about so spectators
plunged into a small stream
below.
Other spectators quickly pulled
them from the water and private
cars and an ambulance hurried
IL to a hospital.
Earlier in the afternoon the
Queen and her husband went
ashore to see the Stranraer agri-
cultural show. A heifer broke
away from her handlers and
stampeded past the royal box
Herdsmen finally collared her.
At this point John Homes and
Mrs. Isabella Kennedy. who hac
climbed to the top Of the pa.
vilion for a better view, fell
through the roof. They wert
taken to the hospital.

u. S. Seeks Back Toxes
Of 3 in Show Business
BY ALAN EMORY

North American Newspaper Alliance
Three well-known figures of
the entertainment world are
listed by the United States Tax
Court today as owing the Federal
Government a total of nearly
100000 in back taxes and penal
ties.
In addition, the Internal Reve-
nue. Service is seeking more than
$242.000 from members of the
du Point family for their alleged
underestimate of gift taxes.
The entertainers are French
singer Jean Sablon, movie di-
rector Wesley Ruggles and movie
actor Dick Haynes, who recently
won his fight to bar deportation.
Disputed by Haynes
According to tax court rec
ords, Mr.. Haynes and his then
wife. Nora Eddington, are
charged with owing $18,846 in
back taxes for 1852. The singer
argued that the Government had
incorrectly disallowed expenses
to carry on his business as actor
and vocalist. such as commits
sions to booking agents and
managers, which led to gross
earnings for the year of $95,523.
Mr.. Haynes, now married to Rita
Hayworth. also claimed that So
500 in salaries that the Govern
ment knocked out as deductions
were paid for necessary services
in connection with the entertain
ment business.
Mr.. Ruggles was asked to ante
up $29,574 in tax deficiencies for
the years 1949-51. The Govern
ment said he had failed to report
$4,000 he received in income for
1949.
In his reply filed with the
court, Mr.. Ruggles said he had
received the $4,000 from the j.
Arthur Rank organization in
Britain to get talent for movies
and to sign up Bing Crosby for
picture. in addition to directing.
He claimed the money was paid
for actual services" and said he
had written the Internal Revenue
Service in 1949 explaining why
the amount was not listed as in
come.
Expenses Challenged
The Government wants Mr..
Sablon to pay $9,749, claiming
that he had incorrectly listed as
deductions business expenses to-
falling S18,996 and a Canadian
income tax payment of 5000. The
night club and recording star
said the expenses were needed to
take care of hotel. travel, wage
and musical accompaniment
items.
In four cases involving mem
bers OF the du Pont family and
their husbands, the Revenue
Service said the individuals had
underestimated the value of
stock in the Delaware Realty and
Investment Co., which they had
used as gifts. The individuals
cited were Henry H. Silliman and
his wife, Mrs. Mariana du Pont
Silliman, and John B. Bredin.
