Two Policemen
Are Criticized
In Merson Case

Two Washington policemen
whose scout car was delayed
after being summoned to the
scene of a fatal attack were
criticized for poor judgment"
today.
The officers, Pvts. Clarence j..
Day and Claudius C. Bonner,
two weeks ago were dispatched
to the 1900 block of Ashmead
place NV, where Miksa Mer-
son, a 65-year-old pianist, lay
dying after being beaten by
street thieves.
Police officials said the two
policemen should have reached
the scene in about five minutes
but that they apparently misin-
terpreted a police dispatcher's
instructions and reached Mr..
Merson after a Commute delay.
Deputy Police Chief Howard
v. Covell said an investigation
of the delay did not result in
formal reprimands for the two
officers. He said, however, that
the incident will be reported
with prejudice" in their police
folders.
Chief Covell said the inves-
tigation showed that Pvts. Day
and Bonner got lost en- route
to the scene and asked a cab
driver for directions.
Mr.. Merson of 2314 AShmead
place NV. died of a skull
fracture at Georgetown Hos
pital shortly after the attack,

ard Shea said today.
The children include eight

A total of 80 families were
removed from Washington's

mendation of investigators and
social workers on Mr.. Sheas
staff. The families were vio-
lating regulations emitting
them to welfare funds.
Junior Village is the city'S

Judge Edgerton Plans
To Retire From Bench

Judge Henry w. Edgerton of
the United States Court of APP
peals plans to retire soon from
the bench. But he hopes to
continue on a limited basis as
senior Federal jurist, he said
today.
Judge Edgerton, 70, relin-
pushed the chief judgeship in
favor of Judge E. Barrett
Prettyman on the occasion of
his 10th birthday.
Appointed to the court by
President Roosevelt in 1887,
Judge Edgerton has been a
force for civil rights through
the years. He was an early
champion of Indignation of Dis
trict public schools, and in an
other case pre-dated the Su-
preme Courts opinion that re-
strictive covenants on real prop
perty are uncomfortable.
Judge Edgerton was eligible
to retire with full pay at the
age of IS, but decided to re-
main on and became chief
Judge in 1855.
A Kansan by birth, Judge
Edgerton received his early
education in New York State
and in the District. In 1916

Typical questions being asked
by Washington area owners Of
beach property have been an
swered by Internal Revenue
Service agents.
IRIS experts gave advice on
tax losses at The Stars special
public service meeting Tuesday
Tax officials emphasized that
the answers apply to existing
law, not to a new measure
sent to the White House yes
terday. Persons with complex
questions involving estates and
business deductions should
consult IRIS offices directly.
The new bill, passed by the
House yesterday, permits storm
victims to claim losses on tax
returns this spring instead of
waiting until 1868. It also
would allow those with large
losses to file amended income
tax reports for the past three
years, so any resulting tax re-
fund could help pay rebuilding
costs.
Also useful is a 12-page book
let. How The Federal Income
Tax Applies to Hurricanes,
Floods, Tornadoes, Other Dis
asters and Thefts," revised last
September. 1t is available as

100000 Cherry Blossom Crown
GIistens as Donor Views Pearls
BY MYRA MACPHERSON
Star Staff Writer


A man whose product has
been pleasing the women and
denting male wallets for 70
years was looking at 1889 Of
his gems.
Yoshitaka Mikimoto's pearls
were glistening on the Cherry
Blossom Crown given by Mr..
Mikimoto for the annual
Cherry Blossom Festival five
years ago. The crown is valued
at nearly 100000, and when it
isn't grazing the head of the
Cherry Blossom queen, it sits in
the United States Treasury
vaults.
Mr.. Mikimoto, in Washington
for this years festival, said so
days, Is craftsmen and years
of pearl growing went into the
making of the 3l2-pound
crown.
Mr.. Mikimoto's grandfather
invented the process of Guilt
waiting pearls. The business
now yields millions of dollars,
and gives female divers some
thing to do.
Male divers aren't as good
for getting the pearl oysters.
Women can stay in water a
long time. Maybe ladies are
just eager to find something
precious.
THE oysters are cultivated
three or four years until they
are big enough and strong
enough to stand the surgical
operation. 1t is very delicate
and is all done by the hands of
young girls.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Hell pfu| Tax Tips for Storm Victims

A. Yes. You may apply the
loss for 1862 plus each of the
previous three years, and for
the next five years in your tax
returns-a total of nine years.
@. Can I list damage or loss
Of appliances and furniture in
a tax claim?
A. Yes, for their "fair market
value" just before the storm.
@. How do I establish this?
I never tried to sell them.
A. Various records are con-
sidered as evidence. You may
submit the original bill of sale,
the date acquired, newspaper
clippings, photographs, or even
the testimony of neighbors who
saw the furniture in your home.
@. My house just floated
away, with all records aboard.
How can I list everything that
was in it?
A. Put your own memory and
your neighbours to work. List
all furniture and its cost as near
as you can on this basis. Get
estimates from contractors who
helped build the house, if pos
sible. Well try to work out
things reasonably. But make a
list NOW.
@. lost an early American
glass antique. The original
price was ST., but it had in
creased in value twenty-fold.
How much may I claim as a tax
loss?
A. Only ST.. AS mentioned
earlier, appreciation in value
is not recognized by the law, for
tax deduction purposes.
@. If I bring suit against my
insurance company to get my
damage claim paid, is my legal
expense deductible?
A. Yes.
Can Defer Filing
@. Will the IRIS allow me to
postpone filing my 1861 tax
return if I want to wait and
see details of this new storm
damage act?
A. Yes. There is a special
Form 1858 you must fill out
provided by the IRIS.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-22

@. The furniture I lost was
a gift. I don't know its value.
How do I list it?
A. Use your best Judgment.
Well be as reasonable as we
know how. But if you have no
inventory or estimates, we're
going to have trouble. Now is
the time to identify what prop
erty has been damaged or lost.
@. Do I have to take photos
of damage?
A. No. But such evidence is
important in weighing your
claim.
@. How do I compute the loss
in a partially damaged house?
A. BY using a competent ap-
praiser, familiar with the area
and your property before and
after the storm. The appraisal
should be made Immediately
after the casualty. His fees,
incidentally, are deductible. So
are costs of photographs.
@. Are costs OF cleaning up
and restoring a house also &C
ceptable as evidence of storm
damage?
A. Yes, but an appraisers
estimate of the loss is still nee
essary. Restoration costs must
not be excessive" must apply
only to storm damage, and the
property value after such work
must be no higher than it was
prior to the storm.
Record Car Expenses
@. Can I claim mileage costs
in driving to my cottage from
Washington while supervising
restoration, if the property was
considered a business invest
ment?
A. Yes, but you should keep
records Of car expenses, such
as fuel and oil. Mileage is not
allowed if the cottage is for
your personal use.
@. I used my cottage 10

trict. The bill would open a
position on the board to a
resident of the metropolitan

Arnold Sternberg, represent
ing the District Democratic
Central Committee, also OBJ
jected to that point.
He sal dhe would not like to
see members of the ABC board

Leo Schlosberg, representing

Committee, submitted a state
ment opposing what he called
the fair trade" provision of the
bill.
THE citizens of the Dis
trict," the statement said,
should not be legislated in the
prices they pay for any COM
modify, particularly through the
price fixing regulations that
stiffle competition"
Credit Plan Advocated
Another witness, Carl Miller,
of the Restaurant Association,
strongly favored a section of
the bill which will allow a res
taurant with a class c license
to extend credit to its customers
for the purchase of mixed
drinks.
THE restaurants in D. c."
he said, would like the priv
ilege of charging mixed drinks
to their customers whom they
decide are good credit risks"
He was joined in this stand
by Milton Winakur, president
of the Restaurant Beverage As
ISOLATION of Washington.
Mr.. Winakur also supported
sections of the bill which will
enable restaurants which serve
mixed drinks to stage fashion
shows or art exhibits. He also
supported a provision which will
charge the District Commits
sioners with setting the hours
and days of the sale of liquor
by the drink.

FIRST A TALL crane re-
moved the heavy mattress
woven Of cables which had
prevented rock fragments
from bombarding Washing

Then up numbered a big
bulldozer (motor shovel is
the more accurate term on
caterpillar tracks and began
to pick up huge fragments.
It dumped them into steel
bodied motor trucks with
three rear axles flour tires
on each) which managed to
roll up the ramp Of the hole.
Then the big shovel per-
formed an Herculean task.
It picked up a piece of rock,
large as a large glacial boul-
der. This was too big for
even those trucks.
It was so big that it seemed
sure that it would tip the
shovel over on it's nose -
leave those caterpillar tracks
helplessly up in the air.
But no, it lifted the rock
high and slowly crawled
across the uneven surface of
the excavation to a spot that
needed filling-where blast
ing had bit too deep. It
dumped 1t there.
In that hole were a dozen
major pieces Of equipment,
two tall cranes and 10 husky
motor shovels. All were la
beled "Cafritz."

Both the District Commits

more time to study the bills

Mr.. Weakly admitted the law
today is hard to enforce and
some sections defy enforce
ment."

ing the Washington Retail,

But when Mr.. Multer asked
how he would feel about a pro-
posed amendment which woulc
exempt embassies from paying
a District tax on American
whiskey, Mr.. Schulberg sale
he would fight the proposal.
He charged that embassy en-
ployeS are peddling Whiskey ir

the alcohol that was being

would prohibit advertising, b.

it is in the interest OF thu

for plans on my property. Since
it was destroyed, the plans are
now worthless to me. May I
claim this as a loss?
A. Yes. Add it to the total
original cost of the property.
@. My cottage, which I rented
as an investment, is off its
foundation and no damage es-
innate is available yet from an
appraiser. Should I make my
own estimate of loss by the
April 16 deadline or wait for an
appraiser?
A. It may be well for you to
file a return by April Is and
file an amended return later.
(Since the normal April Is
deadline falls on a Sunday this
year, taxpayers have until mid
night April Is to mail their

a business casualty loss?
A. Yes. It's considered a bust
ness property if it has been
rented for peak tourist months.
If you used it for rental income
last year for the first time, it's
still considered converted to
business property, and receives
a different tax treatment.

mated, may I claim this extra
loss in my tax return next year?
