things are required to insure
deduction of a quiet business
meal.
First, the person whose taxi
you pick UP must have a bust
ness relationship to you which
shows that you are entertain
ing him for business, not social
reasons. For instance, If you
show that he is an actual OF
prospective customer or client
supplier, employe, agent, part
ner or professional advisor,
that viii do.
Here are Treasury examples
of business associates who may
be entertained:
A manufacturer Of products
can entertain his retailers.
A salesman can buy lunch
for a purchasing agent Of q
prospective customer.
A life insurance agent can
buy lunch for a client.
A new hotel or theatrical
production can wine or dine
business representatives and
civic leaders.
Second, you must have your
meal and drinks in q restau-
rant, hotel dining room, eating
club, cocktail lounge or similar
place where there are no noisy
or distracting influences such
as a floor show. That's where
the "quiet" comes from in the
quiet business meal rule, and
most eating places viii meet
this test.
Once you have this quiet
business meal set up. you don't
even have to discuss business
at the meal in order to deduct
the cost.
Let me repeat, you can &C
tually talk about anything
other than business and still
get your deduction. That's how
liberal this rule is. Also, Inter-
nal Revenue Service Commits
sioner Mortimer Caplin says
that you can deduct the full
cost of your own meal as well
Except when the meals begin

A half-mile tunnel beneath
the heart Of downtown Wash
ington is q key element Of a
bold outline for Pennsylvania
avenue reconstruction just pre-
sented to President johnson.
The tunnel would run be-
meath q huge plaza proposed at
the Treasury end Of the ave-
nue., between Thirteenth and
Fifteenth streets, and would
emerge west Of Seventeenth
street in line with the E street
expresSway.
Not yet determined is wheth-
er the subway for motor traffic
would skirt the White House
grounds or whether the south
tip Of the grounds would be
used.
Present indications are the
full program for Pennsylvania
avenue rejuvenation, of which
the tunnel proposal constitutes
q major part, will have the
support Of the new President.
New Details Given
Up to now, details Of the plan
developed over the last year
and o half by the Presidents
Council on Pennsylvania Ave.
nue. have been closely guarded
with formal presentation not
expected before early next
year.
But general outlines of the
plan were first disclosed in The
Star last June 9. and other de-
tails became available yester-
day.
The far-reaching program is
designed to transform COM
pletely the north side OF
Pennsylvania avenue and i'm
prove the entire thoroughbred
character as the Nations No.
professional way.
The project was started by
the late President Kennedy
when he indorsed proposals OF
a cabinet-level committee In
June, 1862. He subsequently
named the 10-member Council,
headed by architect Nathaniel
A. Owings Of San Francisco, to
draw up a design and make
recommendations.
Scale Model Completed
The Councils completed plan
is now being prepared for pub
LEGATION.
Besides q site plan and gen.
eral specifications, the Council
has developed sketches and a
scale model Of the area to show
to the President and Congress,
which would be asked to ap-
prove the project and provide
funds to defray the costs.

gallon can be expected because
the city's highway fund is fac
ing q serious deficit in the next
few years. The increase would
require the approval Of Con-
gresS.
The gasoline tax is the main
source Of revenue for the high
way fund which will begin to
show a deficit for the first tinfe
in fiscal 1866, according to Dis
trict budget office projections.
Similar to Maryland
The city's approximately $50
million borrowing authority for
highway construction also will
be used up by fiscal 1866.
An increase probably will be
recommended for next fiscal
year because it would tie In
with a similar recommendation
being made to the Maryland
legislature.
The Maryland Legislative
Council last week urged in
creasing the gasoline tax in the
State from 6 to 7 cents. This
will be considered when the
MARYLAND General Assembly
meets in February.
One factor that has re-
strained the Commissioners
from recommending an In
crease in the city's gasoline tax
recently is that they we're con-
cerned that too many District
residents would begin buying
gasoline in Maryland.

Board Lacks
Funds for
Registration

A District official said yes
terday he is concerned about
the possibility that the Board
of Elections may have to begin
voter registration for Washing
tons first Presidential election
with borrowed money.
Charles H. Mayer, elections
board chairman, said that II
the city's budget for this fiscal
year is not approved soon, the
board will be in a financial
squeeze.
Other District agencies are
Operating under a continuing
resolution which permits them
to spend at the same level as
last fiscal year. However, the
Board Of Elections had no APP
preparation last year.
We've got to be able to start
registration on January g.
said Mr.. Mayer. UNLESS the
prospects for passage Of the
District budget brighten soon,
may have to ask Walter To,
briner If we can borrow SOM
money"

about the possibility that Con,
gress may not approve thu
city's budget until it returns, ir
January.
However. Mr.. Tobriner, presi-
dent of the District Board Of
Commissioners. said he has ev-
cry expectation that Congress
will not adjourn before sending
the District appropriation bill
to the White House.
Daniel Noll, elections aboard
secretary, said that the board
will need 10 to 20 additional
employees and some 10000 reg
istration forms when registra-
ton begins January 2 at the

IN MOST OF ITS forms,
symbolism consists Of a con-
ceptual action or work OF
art whose function is to ex-
press the essence Of another
thing. To do this well, it
must be selective and ex-
elusive and, above all, 1t
must simplify, even as the
television cam eras were
obliged to do.
Understanding this, one can
yet regard with concern the
total symbolism Of Washing
ton not brought to view by
television cameras, and in
deed, some unworthy ele-
ments that did intrude.
To human eyes, the city's
symbolism does not measure
up quite to that selective
image, however impressive,
which one saw by television.
One can only give thanks
that traffic-light standards
down the middle of the Ave-
nue. had been hastily re-
moved in the dead of night.
Had not this been done,
no one could have concealed
from the world the shambles
in which those intruderS
have left this most symbolic
street in our symbolic city.
Pedestrian islands are GER
tainly justified, and would
do no harm. But one can
hope that, in the future,
light standards will not be
permitted to split and desc
crate this Avenue. Putting
them there was only another
in a long list Of miSdirected
actions that the fierce light
Of events-at this late date
shows clearly need atone
ment.

gasoline tax would bring In a
little over 50 million q year In
additional revenue.
A breakdown prepared by the
District budget office last Au-
gust showed that the highway
fund faces a deficit Of approx
mately SIS million In fiscal
1866, s11.3 million in 1869.
These figures assume that
the general fund will handle
the S3.5 million a year cost Of
paying the salaries of traffic
policemen.
Decision Is Due
However pressure Is being
brought on the Commissioners
to have the highway fund pay
for this expense so more money
will be available in the general
fund for construction of
schools and recreation areas.
The Commissions are ex-
pected to decide this week
which fund should bear this
cost. If they decide the high
way fund should be charged
for this expenditure, the def
cts in this fund will be even
greater than the budget office
has anticipated.
District officials point out
that If the city does not pro-
vide enough money from local
revenues for highways, it will
lose some Of the 80 percent
Federal matching money avail
able for road construction.

The boys at the FBI Academy

Marine Corps landlords, are al
most painfully fit physically. It
takes something pretty big in

But a diminutive agent
trainee named John Green
shields did the trick one recent
evening. Actually, what he did,
HE sat up and the FBI took
notice.
Specifically, he sat up 5000
times without stopping. The
previous record for sit-ups, as
near as anyone could deter
mine, was $500. That made
Mr.. Greenshields' achievement
noticeable, II nothing else.
