the 1861 fiscal year, we paid
SOL billion through our assess
ment of our tax liabilities and
our voluntary compliance with
the laws and rules. Consider
ing that only SO billion was COL

says Mr.. Caplin, the tendency
to emphasize the evaders and
corner-cutters is wrong and
should be reversed"
Yet, during our recent talk,
Mr.. Caplin also left no doubt
that the IRIS knows the areas
of abuse and is determined to
curb evasion first by, "vigor-
Gus although reasonable ad-
miniStration" of existing laws
and second, by new, tougher
laws if Congress will pass them.
Examples Offered
For instance, if you're among
the 6 million taxpayers claim

warned. Mr.. Caplin has studies
which show that almost one of
every two individual returns in
volving expense accounts re
quires adjustment upon audit"
and more than tWo-thirdS of
the adjusted items are disal-
lowed because they involve per-
sonal rather than bona fide

umentation of the seriousness
of the problem" he insists.

TALKING OF BUSINESS
!: Schorf, Construction Cost Analyst,
!: Got Start at Wrong CoIlegeLecture
: BY TRUMAN r. TEMPLE
Star Staff Writer

Back in 1920 a student at
Columbia University named Ed
ward G.. Scharf wandered into
what he thought was a class
il1.concrete work.
AS the lecture got under way,
he asked a neighbor when the
talk would get around to con-
crete.
"Wrong room, buddy" came
the reply. This is a course
in construction cost account
ing"
But by this time Mr.. Scharf
was intrigued. He stayed to
the end, came back the next
day, and ultimately made the
field his career.
Today as head of Edward G.
Scharf g. Son, he estimates he
has made preliminary studies
on more than ST billion worth
of: construction in Washington.
Among the prestigiouS jobs
he. has handled: The $l9 mil
lion East Front addition to the
Capitol, the $26 million new
Senate Office Building, the Lii
brary of Congress annex, and
scores of other public and pri-
vate structures.
Double Check on Costs
Industries lean heavily on
cost analysis today for figur-
ing what price to charge for a
product that will cover over
head, materials and so on. Mr..
Scharf performs a roughly
parallel service for the man
planning a building.
In the case of Federal agen-
cies, he enters the picture after
an. appropriation is made by
Congress but before contractors
are asked for bids. His role
is a double check to see if bids
are in line, and also as a ba-
rometer to keep agency heads
within their budgets.
The estimator and his son,
Robert, work out of his COM
billation home and office at
1909 Blackthorn street in
Chevy Chase, travelling around
the country when necessary.
The father has a first-hand
knowledge of how contractors
operate, dating from the 1920s
when he was manager of a
Baltimore general contracting
firm. He switched to cost con-
sulting in the Depression and
has 80 years experience at it.

exceeding $40 - an indication
