The last time I saw Beautiful
Duhy was on the Santa Paula.
We sailed in the evening down
the main street Of Curacao and
out Of the canal into the warm
Caribbean. There was a melon
moon and, in the dark. on the
boat deck, cigarettes glowed
and died like romantic light
houses. Beautiful Duffy was on
his way to Caracas to be
married.
HE was tall and slender and
ff had tight black ringlets In
his hair and hazel eyes like
demi-tasse saucers. He was also
a clothes horse. and II the men
were wearing their pocket kerr
chiefs square end up. Beautiful
Duffy knew IL first. He came
from around Providence. and
he sounded slightly Boston in
his speech.
Beautiful Duffy had no char
acter. Women were his racket,
and he worked at It with the
diligence Of an artisan. He
could look into the eyes Of a
wealthy girl and measure the
size OF the dollar signs. The
campaign was always the same:
Make them fall In love with
him, then get them to support
him. Duffy never worked, ex-
cept at holding hands. and his
ONCE hours ran from 8 in the
evening until dawn.
The ship sailed south out OF
Curacao and the ceiling pulled
hack from the big dining room
and we ate under the Southern
Cross. Duffy was honest about
hts dishonesty. He was going

BY G. X. HODENFIELD
Associated Press star writer

NfhotAhtta FFtH8 1taH WtttNt
Last fall the word got oui
that the Internal Revenue
Service was adding a new line
TO form l040 for the reporting
of job-connected travel ex.
penses and money that taxpay-
ers spent on expense accounts
The idea was TO crack down
ON taxpayers living high of
expense accounts. but falling
to treat this expense account
money as income. Putting the
new line 6tal on the first page
OF form i040 had one basic
purpose: To bring right up tc
the front the total amount
claimed as business expenses
That way II could be checked
easily. without opening each
individual form. Anyone re-
porting abnormally high ex-
pense accounts would be sus-
pect and probably would be
asked to justify his deductions
There has been a rule on the
books since 1921 requiring that
all money received on expense
accounts be reported as income
connected expenses, OF course
could be deducted.
The rule doesn't differentiats
between the grocery clerk who
gets 30 cents trolley fare u
take a box Of groceries 70 Mrs
Jones house. and the big exec
utive who takes a trip around
the world and chalks II OF Il
business expenses.
But II the Internal Revenue
Service was going 10 crack
down. II had 20 get a report
from everyone. Thus the ON
cial word was that anyone who
had any sort OF expense &C.
count would have TO Ill in the
new line.
Most Lacked Records
The news was greeted with
howls OF protest.
A few weeks later the revenue
service backed down. II ack-
nowledged that the decision 10
add the new line had not been
made public until 10 months of
the tax year had passed. and
hence had a retroactive effect.
Taxpayers this year. the IRIS
decided. could treat those ira
vel and reimbursed expenses,
etc. for 1857 just as they had in
the past. But the announcement
carried the warning that tax
payers should keep adequate
records during 1858 so they'll be
in a position 10 make an ac-
counting next year.
This is what il means 10 you:
II in 1856 you were given $500
in expense account money by
your employer and you didn't
report IL as income. you don't
have to report anything you got
in 1857 on an expense account.

my own age who has q terrible
lnrnhlem.

I
lmy own age who has o terrible
problem.
/ Dora is really a nice girl. but
she goes too far In petting anc
kissing with her dates. Wher
i told her this was wrong. she
said II can't make any differ
ence because her reputation
was ruined when she was born
She said she has learned that
she was born only seven months
after her parents were mar
ried.
Dora M.--My parents al
ways said they were married
year before I was born and
celebrate their anniversary on
a date which corresponds 10
this story. But one day a few
years ago was looking for
something among my mothers
papers and found this marriage
license with A different date
Ion II.
Ever since that time I have
had no respect for my parents
They are hypocrites because
they are always preaching
about doing right. but they
don't do right themselves. They
ALWAYS talk about other people
drinking too much. but they
often come home tight after
a party.
II l ever get into serious
trouble. il viii really be be-
cause OF nv parents. They sre
worse than anyone else In spite
Of sll they preach.
! THE COUNCILS VIEW
Dora has a serious problem
indeed. but IL Is not the one
she thinks.
Dora's real problem Il her
estrangement from her parents,
her suspicion Of them and the
fantasv she Is building up
about herself and them.
Dora should not have been
poklng around amoung her
mothers personal papers. but
since she committed this breach
of ethics and found some
thing that concerned her and
upset her. she should have
spoken to her mother about II.
We suspect there is a posi-
bility that Dora was mistaken
about the date she saw on the
marriage license.
II is also possible that Dora
was a premature child and, to
spare her and themselves any
embarrassment. the parents
decided tn celebrate their
wedding anniversary on q diff
ferent date. In any case. Dora
should try to understand the
facts before eondeming her
parents. Even n these parents
were married after their child
was on the way. Dora should
give them credit for recufving
their error. maintaining their
marriage and preaching right
eous conduct to her.
Dors's general attitude, how
ever. suggests that she feels
she is bad and unworthy Of
nice friends and decent re-
lationships. She tries TO put
the blame on her parents and
this means that she is free OF
responsibility for creating her
own good life. We agree with
Jacqueline that she is headed
for serious trouble. She needs
lots OF help from her parents
and should tell them everything
on her mind.

attracted little attention, how

Then souvenir collectors, gem
hunters. and commercial in

Of the forest. The final blow
was the establishment of a
stamping mill to crush the
petriled wood to make abra-
