Two New York lawyers who
paid S65,750 to keep clients
from losing money and then
claimed the payment as a legal
deduction, were upheld in the
United States tax Court today.
The Internal Revenue Service
sought to have the claim dis
allowed, arguing that the
voluntary payment of obliga-
tions of others is not deductihle
and that the expense was mot
necessary"
But Judge Russell E. Train
upheld the attorneys, Morton
Pepper and R. Lawrence Siegel,
partners from 1850 to 1854 in
the New York law firm of
Pepper and Siegel.
The 20-page opinion spelled
out this fantastic story:
The attorneys channeled
Sl91 900 of money belonging to
clients. friends and acouaint-
ances into a New York plastics
firm. Plymouth Creations,
which operated partly on false
invoices, according to the
opinion.
S65.75O Raised
When the lawyers discovered
how the firms business was
being conducted. they raised
S65,750 to pay off creditors of
the firm to prevent them from
losing their money.
They did this, they said,
because unless we paid these
loans. we would lose our pratice !;
we would lose our clients; it
would be impossible for us to
continue as lawyers in New
York City"

Pvt. Davis. on the force three

sleep after finishing his tour
of duty at midnight. About
4 am. he arose in his apart
ment at BIAS Hayes street NE.
and decided to wipe off his
revolver.
AS he was replacing it in the
holster, it slipped. Pvt. Davis
was able to catch it before it
hit the floor, but the gun fired
and the bullet went through
the fleshy part of his right
thigh. Acting 1t. Charles L.
Sullivan of the eleventh pre-
cinct termed it an accidental
shooting.

Prince Edward Plan
Advanced by Boothe

A plan for retaining tuition
grants for the private educa-
tion of white children while
public schools are reopened for
Negroes in Prince Edward
County, Va, was advanced to-
day by State Senator Armistead
L. Boothe of Alexandria.
The proposal was offered
Gov. Almond as a result of the
Federal Court ruling last Friday
that public funds cannot be
spent for private segregated
instruction so long as public
schools are closed. Public
schools were closed in the
county two years ago to escape
court-ordered desegregation.
In essence. Mr.. Boothe pro-
posed that Gov. Almond make
available to Prince Edward ap-
proximately $330,00O to oper-
ate public schools" for the
year 1862. IF the county
board of supervisors and school
board would so desire"
Mr.. Boothe said the cost of
maintaining Negro public
schools in Prince Edward next
year, including debt service
would be about $450,000. He
said State and Federal funds
amounting to about $185,0OC
last year-which was not used
and a similar sum for the
forthcoming school year, or a
total of $370.O00, now is avail
able to Prince Edward. .
Deducting $4,000 for debi
service. Mr.. Boothe proposed
that Gov. Almond make avail.
able the remaining $3.50 ,00C

lapse of Plymouth Creations in
October. 1858.
Among the leaders were VAN
guard Press of New York,
which lent S2.50O on October 8,
1858. on a promise of S2,750
repayment.
Pepper & Siegel received ap-
proXimately $4,000 in fees for
their services.
"On Friday, October g."
states the opinion, while they
were having lunch David
(SpiegeD informed Morton
Pepper that some of the in
voices were fictitious"
All Assets Turned Over
Upon hearing this Mr.. Pep
per persuaded Spiegel to turn
over all his assets. as we'll as
those of his wife, mother and
sister-in-law, to Satisfy cred
itors. In addition Spiegel was
to turn over whatever cash he
had. which amounted to $40.
His checks were not being
honored.
Plymouth Creations was
Judged bankrupt on October 10,
1858. after the filing of an in
voluntary petition by creditors.
These creditors, separate from
those represented by Mr.. Pep
per and Mr.. Speigel. had claims
amounting to about 100000.
Mr.. Pepper and Mr. Spiegel
then decided that if they were
to save their law practice they
must repay the $65,750 in debts
then outstanding as a result of
their efforts. They borrowed
money to do this.
On their income tax return the
TWO lawyers listed the sos, ,750
as a deductible ordinary and
necessary" business expense.
The Government attacked the
lawyers lending inducement
activities as not being the prac-
tice Of law and, therefore, said
the expense was not allowable
Judge Train rejected this, say
ing:
I'VE are not disposed to ana
lyze, separately. each thing the
petitioners did for the purpose
of hanging a label on it.
There is much more to the
modern-day practice of law
than just reading cases, writing
briefs and appearing in trials. /"
The Government has three
months to decide whether to
appeal.

now and that an additional
$l20,O00 be appropriated by the
General Assembly next Janu-
ary to finance the schools for
the rest of the year.
"As a lawyer Mr.. Boothe
wrote Gov. Almond, a former
judge, you can readily see
that such a course Of action
would obviate any further
effect of the most recent Fed
eral Court decree. The white
children in Prince Edward
County would continue to at
tend private schools in the
county, making use of tuition
grants and tax deductions
Public schools would be oper-
ated in effect for the Negro
children"
Meanwhile, B. Blanton Han
bury, president of the Prince
EDWARD County School Founda-
ton, operator of the segregated
private white school in Farm
vile, said plans were going
ahead to open on schedule,
even without the State and
county tuition grants.
He said letters are being
prepared today appealing for
a total of 100000 to finance
scholarships for children who
are unable to pay the schools
tuition charges. The letters, he
said, would carry the appeal
/ for funds throughout the
South.
The private schools we're set
Iup for white children after
the public schools closed. But
no such arrangements have
been made for Negro children.

Church 10 Ask
Permit for
RELEASES

The Mount Vernon Unitarian
Church in Fairfax County
agreed today to apply for a spe-
cial permit for classes in non-
violent action against racial
discrimination.
At the same time, however,
a church spokesman said the
church would appeal a decision
of the county zoning adminis-
traitor that a permit is needed.
/ The decision was reached
during a conference between
church representatives and Of
ficialS of Fairfax County.
After the conference, E. A.
Prichard, attorney for the
church, said the classes-the
Northern Virginia Action In
stitute sponsored by the Con-
gress of Racial Equality-would
end on Thursday as planned.
No Warrant to Be Issued
The church was assured dur
ing the meeting, Mr.. Prichard
said, that zoning officials would
withdraw a notice of violation
filed last week and that no
warrant would be issued.
Zoning officials charged the
church with violating the occu-
pancy provision of the Eoning
code because members Of the
classes are staying at the
church, which is in a single
family residential district.
The church trustees wrote to
County zoning Administrator
William T. Mooreland that the
county's action raises the
fundamental question of re-
llglOuS uDerCy.
Church Will Appeal
The church will appeal Mr..
Mooreland's decision, accord
ing to Mr.. Prichard. because it
contends it has the right to use
its property for such purposes.
The property was acquired
for use as a conference center
as well as for church use, Mr..
Prichard said.
Today's meeting was at
tended by Joseph J. Reming-
ton, chairman of the board Of
trustees for the church: Mr..
Mooreland. Assistant Common
wealth's Attorney Quin Elson
and Mr.. Prichard.
Mr.. Elson said after the
meeting that the officials &C
ton was based on a citizens
complaint. The county feels
the church's use Of the prop
erty is unique and not appur-
tenant to the church itself" he
said.

LAWYERS Paid to Protect Clients

larceny and was sentenced to
prison.
Sometime before November
1852. according to the court
records, Mr.. Spiegel consulted
Mrs. Pepper about hiring hel
husband as legal counsel. Mrs
Pepper also was a professor at
Pratt Institute.
Spiegel subsequently told Mr.
Pepper he was a jobber in the
plasticS housewares business
and that-having very little
cash-he could not get credit
from suppliers. He wanted tC
borrow money on a 30-day
basis at high interest rates. AS
security. Spiegel offered tc
turn over invoices representing
sales of merchandise.
Mr.. Pepper, after satisfying
himself that Spiegel was legiti-
mately in business, contacted
his own clients. potentia,
clients and friends to interest
them in making loans to the
new firm.
Checks were made payable
to Pepper & Spiegel and as a
result of Mr.. Peppers efforts
loans from 80 persons totaling
approximately $191, 900 went tc
Spiegel through the law office
which acted as a conduit" the
opinion said.
The interest on the 3O-day
loans was repaid in each in
stance, or the loans were re-
newed-until the financial col
