RetuiI Trade
Dips Slightly

NEW YORK, April q (P).-
Consumers curbed their spend
ing slightly this week, Dun &
Bradstreet said today in its
weekly retail trade review.
But, although total retail sales
were a little below the previous
weeks level, they we're still
moderately higher than in the
like week last year.
Apparel sales were on the up
beat this week. thanks in part
to clearance sales which spurred
buying of women's summer suits.
lightweight coats and cotton
dresses. A slight rise in buy
ing of mems tropical suits was
reported and sales of boys APP
Iparel showed a substantial gain.
Consumers also stepped up
their purchases of hardware,
garden supplies and picnic items.
Buying of linens rose appreciably
IN response to clearance sales.
Declines were reported for
major appliances, gifts an d
glassware. and mems and wom-
ems shoes.
Total retail volume for the
week ended Wednesday ranged

Convention Trip
Cost Ruled Partly
Tax DeductibIe

What part of convention
trip cost is deductible as a bust
ness expense: The Internal Rev.
'enue Service has made a ruling
which affects many a business
man who comes to Washington
for a convention or other BUSH
ness and. perhaps. brings his
wife along.
The revenue service holds that
the cost of the parts of the trip
which are primarily personal and
not business are not deductible
as business expenses. 1t cites
some examples.
One instance is that of the
businessman who also engages
in lc.al sightseeing. entertaining
land visiting unrelated to his
business. Those expenses are not
Ideductible. Take prospective
customer to dinner and count it
Ia business expense, but a night
on the town with an old college
classmate is personal and Uncle
Sam should not be expected to
share the check.
Then there's the matter of the
wife. She may type notes for a
speech her husband has to make
and accompany him to luncheons
and dinners to charm his as
sociates. But that's personal, not
business, and not deductible.
The taxpayer does get one
break from taking his wife along.
The revenue service points out
that the cost Of transportation
and lodging for two is less than
twice the single rate. But where
the costs are deductible, the tax
payer does not have to apply
half the double rate. he takes
the full single rate.
