TAX MEMOS
From decisions OF the United
States Tar Court:

From decisions OF the United
States Tar Court:
Conduit Not a Charity - A
foundation was set up by a clinic,
which is a partnership of %
doctors with seven associated
physicians. The foundations S
principal activity was holding,
managing and renting a building
to the clinic. The Internal Reve-
nue. Service conceded that the
foundation did distribute $22, ,375,
contributed by the clinic, to quail
ified charities during four years.
The taxpayer, a member of the
clinic, was one of the incorpora-
tors His part of the contribu-
tons by the clinic to the founda-
ton was $7.070. The revenue
service assessed 1886 as de-
aciencies in the taxpayers income
taxes for four years. The only
issue was whether the taxpayers
contributions to the foundation
were deductible.
Held-The foundation, engaged
primarily in commercial busi-
ness on behalf of the clinic, is
not made tax exempt merely
because it contributed to chari-
ties relatively small amounts de-
rived from small earnings and
large gifts by the physicians
which it served. The facts rather
indicate" that the foundation. in
its only charitable operation, was
merely 3 conduit for passing on
to charities the contributions
which the partners in the clinic
chose to make. -26 T. C. No. 81
Prepaid Medical Expenses-A
husband and wife reported in
their tax return for 1850 the
medical expenses for the wife's
mother. and included $4,l26 paid
December 90. 1850, to a hospital
for care Of the mother in 1851.
Held-A prepaid item for med
ical services to be rendered in
the following year does not con-
stitute a payment in the taxable
year for medical expenses in
determining whether the tax
payer qualities for a medical
deduction under the Internal
Revenue Code.-26 T. C. No. n.
Divorce Settlement - A tax
payer and his wife were divorced,
the decree confirming a settle
ment whereby the wife was to
receive alimony payments dur
ing her life or until her re-
marriage. Two years later the
former wife expressed a desire
to marry a relatively impecu-
nious" man. To permit her to
do this the taxpayer entered
into a new agreement with her
under which he was to make
monthly payments subsequent
to her remarriage. He claimed
the payments were deductible.
Held-That payments to the
former wife after her remarriage
were not under a written agree
ment incident to the divorce.
The payments. under an agree
ment incident to her remarriage,
are not deduct:ble. - 26 T. C.
No. 102.

The World Over

The University of Berlin, Where Rabbi PrlnZ once
served chaplain, now needs no Jewish religious
adviser so small is its Jewish enrolment In all
of Germany's universities there are 100 Jewish
students.
SUCH is THE situation which Rabbi Prinz found
last July when he returned to Germany World
Jewish Congress mission at the request of the Ber
lin Jewish community.
He visited and lectured in several German cities
He spoke to many Christians and learned that,
though the intelectuals have sense of guilt about
Hitler, they do not know how to right his wrongs.
They have tried to create among their fellows
better feeling toward the Jews But they fear
that Germany could not pSychologlcally digest
more Jews"
1t was Rabbi Prinzs unhappy conclusion that
there is no future for young Jews in Germany" !"
Then what of the rest of the community? APPROX
mately 1000 Jews remain OF the $4,000 who lived
in Germany, and 70 per cent of these are older
people. For this reason the West German govern
ment in restoring of the SynagOgueS destroyed
by the Nazis, is designing them to serve as COM
bination synagogues and homes for the aged.
This is postscript to the nightmare tales OF
Hitler and the Jews of Germany.
ON HIS SIXTH birthday, my father received one
treasured gift. 1t copy of Talmud Tractate
Baba Kama the first tractate tradtionaly studied
by Jewish children over the past several centuries
This together with Bible, which he had begun at
five) was the foundation of my fathers knowledge
of and love for his ancient heritage.
1 was reminded of this when read an article
bv Rabbi B. Gittelsohn in the Rosh Hashonah issue
of American Judaism, the official publication Of the
Union of American Hebrew Congregations.
Rabbi Gittelsohn, of Temple Israel in Boston,
traces the Bar NIitzvah ceremony back to 18th Cen
fury Germany, but reminds that in actual Jew
ish practise it had very early beginnings.
For the Mishnah states "At five years of age
child is ready to study the Bible; at 10, the Mish
nah at 13 he is ready for the 'mitzvos,' the COM
mandments, ETC.
THEREFORE, points out Rabbi Gittelsohn, boy
at 13 could take upon himself certain religious OBJ
legations not because of his chronological age but,
because years of study had brought him understand
ing of Gods commandments.
This is what Jewish educators hope for today, in
urging that all boys study for at least four years
before Bar Mtzvah learning Hebrew, history ana
tradition sleeping themselves in Jewish lore
Bible Mishnah (and Talmud) = Mitzvos these
lead him to the threshold of religious maturity.
With them he can actually begin meaningful re-
ligous experience when he stands before his fellow
Jews as a Bar Mitzvah.
He will receive many gifts on that occasion; but
the gift of Jewish learning, as exempl1fied many
wears ago by that birthday copy of Baba Kama,
will be the sweetest and most enduring of them ALL

His Own Report

One of the reporters at the PreSi-
dents first press conference since his
ileitis operation asked Mr.. Eisenhower if
he would give them "his own report" on
how he felt. The response was candid,
to say the least.
The President said he feels good now,
although he had "a pretty rough ride"
for two or three days at the time of his
Illness. But, he added Il don't feel as
we'll as did year ago." Answering an
other question, however, he said he has
mo doubts" about his ability to carry on
the presidency for another four years.
A third queStioner told the President
he had been talking to his Gettysburg
neighbors. They were going to vote for
him, the reporter said, but they had ex-
pressed the hope that he would not run
again because they felt he had done
enough for the country and they were
afraid he wouldn't live out second term.
Mr.. Eisenhower answered in these words:
Well SIR would tell you, frankly, :
don't think it is too important to the
individual how his end comes, and certainly
he can't dictate the time.
What we are talking about here is the
AAhPOAbaiiSc W IllC SOuHLIy, ana IL happens
that at this moment the Republican Party
apparently thinks 1 am still important to
them and TO the country. And since be-
lieve so much in the Republican Party and
believe that it needed rebuilding so
badly. an effort which have been making.
as you well know. said would continue
to try.
But this is a decision that the Ameri-
can people are going to have to face am
flattered by what you tell me about my
friends and neighbors at Gettysburg but
have made up my mind this is the thing
should try. and we will see what the
American people have to say about it,
That was it--iust little speech, UNI
rehearsed and of the cuff. But it was
Mr.. Eisenhower at his best-the "nonpo-
litical" President who seems to have
natural talent for disarming his political
critics

Handle With Care

President Eisenhower's comments on
the SueZ situation stand in notable con-
traSt TO the talk of a forcible reaction to
President NaSser's seizure of the canal
which has been coming out of London
and Paris.
The President did not minimize the
matter. He said that we are "manifeStly
faced with very grave ISSUE" an issue
of great Importance to virtually all ma
tons, including the United States, but
also one which should be handled with
care"
AS Mr. Eisenhower sees it, the big
problem sis to make certain of the con-
tinued efficient use of this great water
way" And this, it would seem, comes
down to a question of what NaSSer really
intends to do, now that he has national
lied the canal
In this connection, a statement is
sued in Cairo should not be overlooked.
The giSt of it is that Egypt intends to
respect her international obligations, and
that no one could be more interested than
Egypt lin the freedom of passage and
in the fourishing traffic through the
canal"
This can be taken with a grain of
salt, coming from a national leader who
has not heSitated to seize the canal and
who announced that action in a speech
which need yield to none in it's vitriolic
denunciation of the West. 1t is also true,
however, that it would seem to be in
Egypt's interest to keep the canal open
and busy. We can look for a bitter
struggle over the question of who is to
pocket the canal tolls, but it is very diff
cult to see how Egypt could benefit by
closing the canal or raising the tolls to a
level which would discourage traffic.
So, for the time being at least, the
Presidents cautious approach seems
amply justified. If Nasser intends to use
his seizure of the canal to restrict the
Vests access to its sources of essential
Oil, or if he intends to move from one
provocative act to another, the fact will
become evident soon enough. resort to
armed force, as suggested in reports from
abroad, is bridge which should not be
crossed until it has to be crossed. For
no one can be sure what may lie at the
end of that road.

Mr.. Nixon Seems Safe

Those who are sympathetic to Harold
StasSen'S campaign to keep Vice President
Nixon off the G. o. p ticket this year may
find something to encourage them in the
Presidents press conference remarks.
For in matter of this kind, the inference
is often the product of the wish.
1t seems to us, however, that Mr..
Nixon, after the conference, stands just
about where he has always stood
Mr.. Eisenhower said that of course he
favorS an open convention and that Mr..
Nixon is in agreement. But, as the queS-
tons came, he went on to say that he has
expressed his opinion of "Dick Nixon" so
often that he thinks there should be no
doubt about my satisfaction" with him
as running mate Someone recalled
that Mr.. Stassen had said that our friends
overseas would prefer an Eisenhower
Herter ticket to an EiSenhower-Nix
ticket. The President knocked down that
suggestion. He said he has sent Mr.. Nixon
on innumerable trips abroad and that he
had received only "the most glowing re-
ports" of his acceptability in the coun-
tries visited
The President refused to agree with
the main StaSSen theSiS-that Mr.. Nixon
would detract from the strength of the
1856 ticket. HE certainly didn't seem to
In 1882" Mr.. Eisenhower said, land I
can't believe the country does not con-
slider that he has made a splendid record
as Vice President" There was more, but
the President more or less summed it all
up when he said that while he would not
express preference for a running mate,
Mr.. Nixon would be perfectly acceptable
to me-"
The only rational conclusion is that
the denomination of Mr.. Nixon is as GER
tain as anything in politics can be. A
substantial majority of the convention
delegates, if given a free choice, almost
certainly will go for Mr.. Nixon About
the only thing that could change this
would be clear indication from the
President that he prefers someone else,
and this, in the light of the things that
Mr.. Eisenhower has said seems out of
the question. So the prospect is that Mr..
StaSSen, in this project, will wind up with
batting average of zero. The only real
questions are whether, and how much,
his continuing anti-Nixon campaign will
hurt an Eisenhower Nixon ticket at the
polls

Luxury Liners


Like every naval architect
or engineer familiar with ship
design, know that extreme
luxury at sea is attained only
by the sacrifice of some other
quality. Since speed is also a
luxury that many travellers
demand without considering its
cost, the skimping Of design
must take place somewhere
else. But where? There re-
mains only the item Of safety:
heavy scantlings. adequate
bulkheading, and lifeboats that
cannot fail.
Put it this way: The weight
Of marble columns, ornate
stairs, spacious lounges and,
above all, swimming pools high
above the center of gravity
all these, and the extra weight
OF engines required to drive
this luxury-hotel through the
water, must be deducted from
strength. (The Andrea Doria
had three pools, on different
decksD We're all that utterly
wasted weight put into double
skin and cellular bulkheading,
even a liner cut in two
might float long enough to tow
to port.
For so much luxury, a host
Of servants are required; and
when the pinch comes, those
many so-called sailors prove to
be an added encumbrance. I
dare say that most of the 500
man staff on the palatial Ital-
ian liner taS on most such
boats) we're not sailors but
fiunkeys. quite useless in an
emergency.
The moral? When you travel,
choose a conservative combina-
ton freighter and passenger
carrier. preferably one with so
small a list Of passengers that
the actual crew Of sailors out
number you guests.
