Joint u. S.-Soviet
Space Project
Held Advisable

Space Administrator James
E. Webb left the door open
today to a possible joint So
iet-American space project.
Mr.. Webb told the House
Space Committee that "the
tasks in outer space are so
large and require so much ef-
fort that if possible they war
rant participation by both ma
tions."
He made it clear. however,
that the United States Gov
ernment is not planning to is

Grafton.

is in accordance with the OBJ
jectives Of the general pro-

said. He added that he thought

Walter w. Heller, chairman
of the Council of Economic
Advisers. insisted today that
predicted deficits in the Fed
eral budget will not sbe in
flationary.
Representative Curtis, Re-
publican of Missouri, and Sem
ator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut. said the proSpec-
tive deficits of S2.2 billion this
year and $2.8 billion next year
almost certainly will revive in
flationary presSureS.
TeStifies at Hearing
Replying at a hearing of the
Senate House Economic Com
mittee, Mr.. Heller contended
that high level Of unemploy-
ment and unused productive
capacity will act as barriers
against initiation.
Federal budget deficits, he
said, are inflationary only
when unemployment is low
and the economy is producing
close to capacity. If and when
recovery from the recession
proceeds to that point, he
said, the Kennedy adminissra-
ton will curb initiation through
surpluses and restrictive none
tary measures.
Cites 6 Per Cent Figures
Under present programs, Mr..
Heller said, next years budget
would be balanced even if un-
employment stayed close to 6
per cent, compared with the
seasonally adjusted rate of 60
per cent last month.
On another issue, Mr.. Heller
Evening star., 1961-04-10

six years later when the Su-
preme Court was asked to de-
eide whether $250,000 obtained
by extortion constituted taxable
income to the extortioner. In
the case Of James Rutkin, con-
victed Of tax evasion, Justice
Burton spoke for. the 5-4 ma
jority.
He said, IAN unlawful gain,
as well as a lawful one, consti-
tutes taxable income when its
recipient has such control over
it that, as a practical matter,
he derives realizable economic
value from it,"
The court disposed ofs Rut-
kin's reliance on the Wilcox
case by saying, 1--WE do not
reach in this case the factual
situation involved in Commis-
sioner v. Wilcox. We limit that
case to its facts"
Justice Black who wrote the
dissent, said a comparison of
Justice Burton's opinion in the
Rutkin case with his dissent in
the Wilcox case shows that the
court had now rejected the Will
cox Interpretation Of what con-
Stitutes taxable gain.
So the Government and most
of the lower courts, almost
every time they ran into a de-
fenSe that taxes were not due
because the funds were en-
bezzled, contend that the Will
cox decision had been virtually
overruled by the Rutkin de-
ciSion.
Government attorneys, how
ever, report that the Wilcox
defense is still used frequently
particularly by corporate Off
cials who diverted funds from
their corporations and did not
report the funds as income on
their tax returns.

U.S.. Seeking Toxotion
Of EmbezzIed Funds

| Subsequently, he and a CO.
defendant pleaded guilty to
conspiring to embezzle S902,-
33 in union welfare fund pre-
miums.
In asking the Supreme Court
| to reverse his income tax con-
viction, James leaned heavily
on the finding that he was in
deed an embezzler. He based
his case on the Supreme Courts
1916 decision in the case Of
Laird Wilcox. a bookkeeper for
q warehouse company in Reno,
New, who diverted some $12,-
900 of company funds and lost
most of it gambling. He pleaded
guilty to embezzlement and
then was hit with a tax bill for
the ernbezzled money.
Money Not His
When the tax case reached
the Supreme Court, tn ema-
jority said that moral turpi-
tude is not a touchstone of
taxability." The court held that
Wilcox had no claim of right"
TO the embezzled money and
was at all times under an obli-
CATION to return it to his en-
ployer. The court said that if
it approved a tax under these
circumstances, it would give
the Government an unjustified
preference to part of the money
that rightfully belonged to VIII
coX's employer.
Justice Burton, now retired,
in a vigorous dissent pointed to
many earlier high court de-
ciSions in which unlawful gains
from graft, protection pay
ments, misappropriated receipts
and ransom money had been
considered taxable. He con-
tended that the majority had
used the wrong yardstick. The
proper measure, he argued, was
whether Wilcox had the use
and benefit of the money.
In the next six years, many
of the lower Federal courts
which had to interpret the
Wilcox decision tried to neu-
tralize its impact by dis
tinguishing its facts from every
other type of unlawful gain.
The implications of the Will
cox case were not confined
solely to unlawful gains. In
the Court of Claims this ques-
ton arose: Should the recipi-
ient of a questionable lawful
gain, who has accepted it in
good faith but later has to re-
turn it, be required to pay tax
when the recipient of an un-
lawful gain who never makes
restitution goes tax-free?
Justice Burton got his chance

until next year. The case will
be tried in Louisville.
In the fall, Mr.. Clements is
scheduled to start delivering a
series Of lectures at the Uni
versity of Massachusetts. He
now is a consultant for the
American Merchant Marine
Institute in Washington, but
still maintains his home in
Morganfield, KY.
AS an example Of the kind of
information the Government
wants from Mr.. Clements, IRIS
notes that he and Mrs. Clements
say they received substantial
non-taxable funds from 1948
to 1858.

Heller Says Deficit
Won't Fan Initiation

indicated that the administra-
ton is considering proposals
to eliminate the tax exemptions
enjoyed by purchasers of State
and municipal bonds. But if
such action is taken, he said,
the Federal Government will
have to use other measures to
assist States and localities
in handling their financial
burdens.

BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

The Justice Department has
prepared legislation to make
embezzlers pay taxes on their
ill-gotten gains, it was learned
today.
If the Supreme Court, in a
pending case, rules that en-
bezzled funds are taxable, the
proposed legislation will be filed
away and forgotten,
But should the Supreme
Court rely on a 1916 decision
and again rule that embezzled
funds do not constitute tax
able income. the Justice De-
partment will ask help from
Congress.
The Government is also very
much aware that the, 9th cir
cult is holding up its decision
in the income tax conviction
of Dave Beck, former Team
sters Union president until the
Supreme Court rules in the
pending case.
Beck was found guilty on six
counts and given 5-year SEN
tence and 100000 fine. Re-
lying on the 1946 Supreme
Court decision, he called all the
diverted funds "embezzled" in
an attempt to escape Federal
income tax prosecution.
New Interpretation
Tax authorities and Govern
ment lawyers have been oper-
'ating for nearly decade on
the theory that the Supreme
Court, in a 1852 case calling
extorted funds taxable. reject
ed its earlier Interpretation of
what constitutes taxable in
come.
Since 1852, the circuit. except
In one case, have gone along
with the Government view.
Some district courts, however,
have refused to stray from the
1916 decision. In four district
court decisions-one only last
month in West Virginia-the
lower courts have honored the
1915 decision by excluding un-
lawful gains from gross income.
In two others. district courts
have commented that the 1916
decision should still be consid-
cred a precedent.
: In the pending Supreme
Court case, Eugene C. James.
former secretary-treasurer Of
the Laundry Workers Inter
national Union, was convicted
of failing to report 8,646.66
in emhezeled funds acquired
from 1851 to 1854. His income
tax conviction was unanimously
upheld by the Court of Appeals.

Tax Case
BY the Associated Press

Government attorneys in the
1921 ,289 tax case against for
mer Senator Earle c. Clements
OF Kentucky are asking for new
details about his finances.
The Kentucky Democrat, a
top aide in Vice President
Johnson's campaign last fall,
denies he owes the Government
anything. He says he actually
is due refunds.
The Government says he
owes 1921 ,289 income taxes and
penalties for 1948-1958.
Chief Tax Court Judge j.
Edgar Murdock now has been
asked by the Internal Revenue
Service to order Mr.. Clements
and his wife, Sara, to supply
more specific information in
support of their arguments
that the Governments case is
in error.

removing your COWS from the

insects will do much damage.
Our advice in this kind of
weather would be to use me-
thyl parathion to spray your
cotton with. If you can get
from | to 3 hours before rain
occurs your methyl parathion
will kill practically all cotton
insects in the field with the
exception Of boil worms.
There is not a material we
can recommend adding for
spraying for boil worms in
this kind Of weather as in
secticides to kill boil worms
need to be on the plants at
least "A hours before being eff
fective.
Spray between showers for
boil Weevils and other plant
bugs with methyl parathion.
If you allow early squares to
become punctured you will be
bothered with boil weevils the
rest of the year. AS soon as
weather conditions will per-
NIT use an insecticide that
will control both boil weevils
and bollworms, or add a mat
erial to your methyl parathion
that will kill the boil worms
such as DOT, endrin or toxa-
phene.

Blister Beetles

Blister Beetles
Keep a close watch out for
blister beetles in your garden
and also your cotton and soy
bean fields. Blister beetles are
large beetles resembling a
lightning bug and usually go
in droves. They will literally
eat up the plants they attack
rapidly. Blister beetles can be
and move on to other plants
killed in the garden with a
good strong application of Sc
vim. In cotton or soybean
fields they can be controlled
with SEWN or DOT. 1t is not
recommended to put DOT on
garden vegetables.
