Sid Caesar Battles
Back Income Tax
Bite of $4,000
By the Associated Press

Sid Caesar is battling a Gov
eminent claim that he owes IL
more than a quarter of a mil
lion collars in back income
taxes.
The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice notified the comedian and
his wife Florence of tax de-
ficiencieS totaling $685., 694 for
the years l954-1960.
Attorneys for the couple.
who live in Great Neck, Long
Island, N. Y, asked the United
States Tax Court recently to set
aside the IRIS findings as er-
roneous.
The alleged deficiencies range
from $68,978 for 1856, when
the IRIS said Mr.. Caesars tax
able income was S256,874 in
stead of the $182,111 his re-
turn showed, to S4,864 for
1860.
Undeclared dividend income
and diSallowed expenses &C.
counted for much Of the diff
ference between Mr.. Caesars
and the Governments version
of his taxable income.
Over the years the Govern
ment disallowed more than
$4,000 in expenses for hotels,
travel, gifts, tips, taxis and en-
tertainment.
Internal Revenue said Mr..
Caesars taxable income over
the years in question ranged
from more than S348,000 in
1854, when he claimed 1882 900
as taxable, to S1O1,0 900 in 1859,
when he admitted owing taxes
on $92,628.

RIA Ratings

A move to prevent the demo-
lition of buildings which could
be repaired has been Endorsed
by the Federation of Citizens
Associations.
Bills now pending in Con-
greSs which would bar demoli-
ton by the Redevelopment
Land Agency of buildings that
can be repaired or replaced
were backed by the federation
last night.
The federation also SUD-
ported a House resolution pro-
viding for a $4,000 maximum
limit for relocation expenses
to be paid to displaced bust
nessmen.
Housing Plan Opposed
However, the group opposed
proposals requiring housing for
middle and low income families
to be built in every urban re-
newal area and proposals to
transfer RIA functions to the
District Commissioners.
A resolution directing the
House District Committee to
study whether a change in
District tax assessment poll
cies can prevent the spread of
blight was supported.
Another bill authorizing the
District government to recon-
struct the old Fourteenth
street bridge was opposed un-
less amended to specify that
any District funds, taken for
the purpose, shall come from
the District highway fund.
The omnibus crime bill was
Endorsed, but an increase In the
minimum penalty for felonies
was opposed because 1t would
"inhibit the jury" from find
ing defendants guilty.
Sales Loss Feared
The quality sterilization bill
now pending in the Senate
Commerce Committee was op-
posed on the grounds that it
would result in a loss of sales
for merchants and a reduction
IN the number of merchants
employees.
The federation urged Con-
gress to appropriate funds for
l964-5 teachers salaries based
on the Board of Education's
estimate OF the annual increase
in the number of teachers.
The federation commended
the chairman of the Senate
District Appropriations Sub
committee chairman Robert c.
Byrd, for his Splendid and
constructive" work in his ex-
animation of District expenses
and urged the Senate to accept
his budget recommendations
for 1864.

SEGH AT LARGE
Giants May Win Again,
But Not by 'Sneoking'

THERE is FRESH evidence to sub
stantiate the claim that the best bargains
in the world are obtained in New York City.
The case of Manhattan Island u.s. of course,
the most prominent example.
The Indians gave up the little hunk of
real estate for only $24. It turned out TO be
a sound buy. even if it didn't appear so at
the time.
Skip a number of years and we come
next to what must be the second biggest
steal in the history of New York, the Giants
National Football League franchise.
Historians have recorded that Tim
Mara, who founded the team, paid $2,500
to enter the league. No such thing. The
cost was only $500 and Mara practically
had to be forced into doing it.
We must accept the $500 figure as
official, and not $2,500, because the lower
price is listed in the New York Giants
yearbook, only recently mailed as SOU
venir of another banner season in Yankee
Stadium.
THE PURCHASE PRICE of the Giants
is not essentially the topic of today'S mes
sage. 1t is no more than an Incidental item
discovered en- route to the main subject
the famous 1884 sneaker" game involving
the Giants and the Chicago Bears.
These old Sparring partners again take
a whack at each other Sunday for all the
marbles. Whenever they are engaged for
the whole pot, the sneaker" episode is re-
called automatically.
The Giant yearbook, which sets the
record straight on what it cost for the
Giants to get into business, offers reap
praisal of this issue, too, quite different
from the general recollection.
Statesmen of rubber-soled shoes invar-
iably point with understandable pride to
the "a game as an example of what proper
shoes will do for man. The Giants differ.
"Footwork, not footwear, won for New
York." the yearbook boasts.
YOU RECALL, OF COURSE, that the
Giants, after playing the first half on a
frozen Polo Grounds field, switched to
sneakers after intermiSSion and ultimately
demolished the Bears, 30-13, with a whirl-
wind 27-point fourth quarter.
The final-period blitz not only won the
title for the Giants but was the first defeat
the Bears had sustained all season. As
the Giant historian brags, the winners
didn't sneak to their victory, they got it by
groundwork and airwork.
In that memorable fourth period, Ed

sy MORRIS SIEGEL

Danowski ran for one touchdown and
passed for another. Ken Strong scored
twice The sneakers which provided better
traction in the Ice Bowl clash, helped but
the clincher was the Giants defense.
'The Giants had the faster and harder
charging line throughout and finally devas-
tated the Bear forwards in the fourth
period" according to an eyewitness account
of the game.
This must be accepted as gospel, too,
inasmuch as the records show the Giants
held Bronco Nagurski scoreless in the sec
ond half, first-rate accomplishment
regardless of how old the Bronco was then.
IN A DRAMA dominated by the Halases
and Maras, non-IriSh type named Abe
Cohen turned out to be the real hero. Abe
was custodian of equipment at Manhattan
College and as such had the only key to
the room where the sneakers were stored.
When Giant Coach Steve Owen decided
basketball shoes would help, Abe hustled
out at half-time to Manhattan and brought
back the shoes. Center Mel Helm and Guard
PotSy Jones, for some unexplained reason,
preferred their regular footwear, while nine
teammates wore sneakers
When one of the Bear players, noting
the Giants coming out on the field with
their new footgear, called it to Halas' at
tention, Papa Bear Snorted defiance. "Step
on their toes" HalaS ordered. Apparently
the Giants were too quick or the Bears
didn't take Halas seriously
There is still another sneaker episode
which might be inserted here. 1t concerns
the Redskins and their 1914 frozen field
loss to the Rams at Cleveland in the 1945
title game.
George Marshall, after watching his
Redskins skid over the field in the first
half, charged into the dressing room at
intermisSion and demanded to know why
Equipment Manager Kelley Miller had not
shoed the Redskins properly. Marshall in
quired if the team had brought tennis shoes
along.
Eyes, we have EN-" Miller answered.
"but we can't use 'em. We made a gentle
mans agreement with the Rams not to-"
Redskin Coach Dud DeGroot, who en-
tered into the "gentleman'S agreement"
with the Cleveland coach, did not last to
arrange another such understanding with
anybody in behalf of the Redskins.
In fact, DeGroot's own agreement with
the Redskins ended quickly thereafter, in
very ungentlemanly manner, we are told.
