Amendment Passed By
Senate Changes De-
ductiOn Rules And Hits
"Hobby Farming.

Sen. John ]. Williams, R-Del.,
said last Friday a tax amendment,
approved by the Senate recently
will crack down on Hobby farm
ing" and provide benefits for small
farmers.
The amendment sharply re-
stricts the amount of money a tax
payer can deduct for building
ponds or leveling ground under the
Soil Conservation Act
On the other hand, it will permit
deductions for the first time for
land clearing operations.
Williams, who handled t n e
amendment as ranking COP men,
Der of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, explained that some gentle
man farmers have been deducting
as much as $4,000 for alleged con-
servation practices which really
are nothing more than land beauti-
fication.
The amendment, he said, puts a
$4,000 ceiling on all the deductions
for all of the soil conservation
practices of this type Within any
one year.
The deduction is restricted to
$3.50 of the land owners income
from farming operations if h S
percentage is smaller than $4,000.

 Rome newspapers, most Of them repeating stories published abroad, said Miss Taylor was 'smadly in love" with British actor Richard Burton, the Mare Anthony of her Cleopatra. When reports linking their names circulated several weeks ago Burton's press agent issued a statement denying any romance. but representative of 20th Century Fox said later the statement was issued without Burton's knowledge. The public relations man then said that so far as it was concerned the state ment twas official and stands as issued Still later, James Benton, Burton's personal secretary, con suited the actor and asserted: isfWe consider the 20th Century Fox statement is correct Miss Taylor could not be reach ed in her walled villa near Rome's famed Appian Way. She lives there with Fisher, the children of Miss Taylor's previous mar riages and an 11-month-old slight l ly crippled German orphan girl l they adopted last January.
