Through tax loss, the United
States Governments share OF
paying the Cuban prisoners
ransom could reach $40 million.
Mitchell Rogovin Of the In
ternal Revenue Service, in an
interview yesterday, cited that
sum-Spread over three years
as the highest possible loss to
the United States Treasury
from the deal that sent mil
lions Of dollars of food, drugs,
and other supplies to Fidel
CaStro's Cuba in exchange for
the lib Bay of Pigs prisoners.
But Mr.. Rogovin said he
thought the tax loss could be
less than $40 million. And he
stressed that it could be con-
Sidered a tax loss only in the
sense that the United States
Government always loses rev.
enue through income tax de-
ductions after some drive for
charity.
Mr.. Rogovin is counsel to
the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. He was a member of
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy's four-man team that
helped manage the Govern
ment's part in the deal that
freed the prisoners.
Figures Analysed
Here is how Mr.. Rogovin
figures the possible tax loss:
Although the goods had a
value in Havana of $50 million,
Mr.. Regovin said, their actual
wholesale value in the United
States, before packing and
transportation costs, would be
no more than $40 million.
Companies may deduct the
wholesale value of the contrib
uted goods as part of their
allowed 5 per cent deduction
for charity. If a company uses
up its 5 per cent deduction
this year, 1t can deduct its con-
tributions as part of its 5 per
cent deduction in 1868 or 1864.
Therefore. the $40 million
contribution to the ransom
means the Government has $40
million less income to tax,
provided:
l. You assume the COM
panies would have sold the $40
million worth Of goods If they
had not contributed it, and
2. You assume the companies
will be able to list the con-
tributions within their 5 per
cent deductions for 1862, 1868,
or 1854.

Duke Derides

PARIS, Dec. 20 (AP).-The
Duke of Windsor said yester-
day captured Nazi Germ a n
diplomatic documents claiming
he wanted to make a deal with
Hitler give a generally false
impression" of his efforts while
King to head off World War II.
The luke said the documents
some written by his German
cousin, the Duke Of Coburg-
were obviously "slanted in or
der to curry favor with Hitler. A"
One Of the documents quoted
Windsor, while he reigned as
King Edward VIII. as saying:
Il myself wish to talk to Hit
Ter and will do so here Tin
Britain or in Germany"
The Duke of Coburg, a
grandson of Britain's Queen
Victoria and a former officer
In Hitler's storm troopers, died
in ermany in 1854 after
spending time in an American
internment camp.
In London, Margaret Lam
bert, 56, British editor in chief
of captured German foreign
policy documents, said there
was much obvious nonsense"
in the papers released by the
British government Thursday.
Referring to a portion of a
document saying that 1.-The
King is resolved to concentrate
the power of government on
himself" the Duke said ut
would be prepoSterous for any,
one who had been Prince Of
Wales for IS years and trained
in the traditions of constitu-
tional monarchy to hold such
a view"

u. S. Tax Losses Hiqh
In Cuba Ransom Deal

So per cent. If the Government
has $40 million less income to
tax, 1t loses about $40 million
in tax revenue.
Other Factors
But Mr.. Rogovin lists two
factors that make 1t difficult
to say that the contributing
companies will list all sac
million as income tax deduc-
tons:
/. He knows of some COM
panies that already have ex-
ceeded the 5 per cent deduc-
ton.
2. Some companies may
simply divert their contribu-
tons from research founda-
tons IA tax deductible item
anyway to the ransom.
A source close to the drug
manufacturers said they likely
will list all their contributions
to the ransom as income tax
deductions.
Another difficult question to
answer is whether the Govern
ment or the private companies
are contributing the largest
share Of the ransom. 20
Markups Uncertain
There is much controversy
about costs and markups, par
ticulary in the drug industry,
and 1t would be difficult for
any official to estimate Just
how much a loss private COM
panieS took in the deal. 9
This is how the tax situation
would work in a hypothetical
case Of company losing moth
ing through its contribution:
A company manufactures
goods for $1,000 and charges a
wholesale price of $4,000. 1t
contributes these goods to the
ransom. 80
Under the law, it may deduct
$4,000 as a charitable contri-
button. This has the effect Of
removing $4,000 from its tax
able income.
The company normally would
have paid $1,000 tax on this
income. So it has saved $4,000
the exact cost of manufac-
turing the goods.
The net result is that the
contribution cost the company
nothing. The full cost-$5,000
is borne by the Government
as a loss of tax revenue.
Mr.. Rogovin said he had no
way of estimating the markup
of the goods contributed. He did
note, however, that markup in
the food industry was rather
small.
