The Internal Revenue Service
today held out scant hope to
past winners Of radio and tele-
vision "giveaway" contest prizes
that they may reap q whole
sale bonanza in tax refunds be-
cause Of q Wyoming Federal
court jury's decision.
But q service spokesman con-
ceded it could open the door
for a limited number to seek
refunds.
A jury in Cheyenne yesterday
upheld the claim Of Mrs. Lucille
Temp Of Evanston, Wyo.. that
she was entitled to q refund Of
$4.326 tax paid on $4,000 in
money and prizes she won on a
radio giveaway program in 1852.
Held outright Gift"
Mrs. Temp contended sue
cesSfully that her winnings we're
an outright gift" and not tax
able. She said she had rendered
no services for the Columbia
Broadcasting System or the
sponsors of the program, Sing
It Again."
She said she received q tele-
phone call, was invited to COM
pete and successfully answered
the questions. She won q 5000
jackpot and other prizes.
The service oficial said e
few" claims similar to that Of
Mrs. Temp have been made for
refunds and are pending. Other
than these, he explained, only
those who won money or gifts
in 1853 and paid the tax are
eligible to file--and not all Of
those.

o postcard or otherwise asking
permission to compete, or per-
formed any services in connec-
ton with the program, they
would not be eligible to file. he
said.
The number eligible is limited
TO 1853 winners because Of q
change in the law and because
of the statute Of limitations,
which sets a time limit on filing
for tax refunds.
Those who have won since
January l. 1854. aren't eligible
to file. the spokesman said, be-
cause Congress revised the tax
code in 1854 and made the
changes applicable to 1854 in
come. The new law spelled out
specifically that "gross income
includes amounts received as
prizes and awards" In other
words they are taxable.

Catholic Sources Doubt
PopoI Ban on Pro Boxinq

Del Clero tthe Tribune of the
Clergy that professional boxing
was an illicit activity because it
violated the commandment,
Thou Shalt Not Kill" and
called for the use of brutal vio-
lence.
Catholics in this country have
criticized professional boxing in
the past. Articles have been
published in the Catholic press
In the United States attacking
prize fighting as mot sport
but a brutal activity in which
men are putin danger of death.
Generally, these articles have
made distinction between pro-
fessional and amateur boxing
Catholic colleges frequently have
had high-ranking amateur box
ing teams.
An NCWC spokesman said
that il the Pope speakes out, his
statement likely would not be
any formal ban on boxing but
would lay down principles which
Catholics should follow.
That would not mean that
Catholics would be wrong to
watch Rocky Marciano night.
the spokesman said.

time and Evans was assigned to

GU DENIED POINT BEFORE OVERTIME
Muff by Official Cited
In Hoyos- erps Game

Coach Buddy Jeanette of
Georgetown, plus those who took
the Hoyas and the five-point
odds against Maryland last Sat
iurday night, were among those
wailing yesterday over what ap-
lparently was a missed call by
the officials. Maryland won the
game in overtime. 62-57.
Referee Lennie Toff of Phila-
delphia. who was in Jeannette's
hair throughout the game, took
a point away from Georgetown
after the wrong Hoya player
made a foul shot. This happened
about the middle of the second
half.
According to the rule book.
Toff was in error.
The situation came about
when a foul was called on
Maryland. Joe Missett was given
the ball by one of the officials
and he made the first shot on
Ia one-and-one play. He missed
the second, which meant the
ball was in play.After both teams
scrambled for the ball. Toff's
whistle stopped play. He dis
allowed the point and gave the
ball to Maryland.
That brought Jeanette
charging of the bench for a
prolonged argument,
! 1t seems Coach Bud Millikan
of Maryland had called atten-
ton to the fact that Dale Smith
and not Missett should have shot
the foul. He had tried to get
the officials attention before
the first shot. but apparently
they didn't hear him until after
the second.
Toff ordered the scorekeeper
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-01-24

to take the point away from
Georgetown and awarded the
ball to Maryland.
The rule book says: "If any
free throw Isl by a player other
than the one entitled to 1t. the
attempt shall be counted as sue
cessful or unsuccessful. If such
thrower had reasonable oppor-
tunity to know he was not en-

Rising costs of operations in
the flour mill and in the bakery
are credited with the responsible
ity for increased bread prices in
a publication recently released
by the Agricultural Marketing
Service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The publication marketing
Margins for White Bread" points
out that bread prices have ad-
vanced 10 per cent in the past ten
years. The cost of wheat in the
loaf of bread has gained from
2.1c to 2.7c, but the farmers
share of the consumer bread dol
lar has declined from Is per cent
in 1916 to Is per cent in 1855.
The wholesale price of bread,
(the price received by the baker,
was listed at 14.8c. Of this total,
the baker retains eight-tenths of
a cent as profit before taxes.
A separate study by the Mar
keting Service showed net profits
of six leading bakers, after taxes,
declining from 5.3 per cent in
1916 to 2.3 per cent in 1854.
The report noted that aver
age hourly earnings of grain mill
workers advanced IS per cent in
the ten year period, that hourly

earnings of bakery workers ad-
vanced third between 1916 and
1850 and "a further rise of ap-
proximately the same amount
has taken place since 1880"
The publication notes that the
price of paper similar to that
used for bread wrapping ad-
vanced 81 per cent in the period
covered. 1t also reported that
handling, transportation and
milling charges rose from l cent
to nearly 2 cents per loaf.
Grocer mark-up was noted as
little changed in the ten year
period.
The report commented that
large baking plants have been
meeting the challenge of rising
labor costs by increased mocha
nization and bulk handling of in
gradients, creating greater eff
cheney of production.
The report can be summed up
as showing that the higher price
of bread paid by consumers has
not been reflected in increased
profits for farmer, miller, baker
or grocer but is due entirely to
greater costs in transportation,
processing and delivery.
