ROSEBUR NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURS, OREGON. THURSDAY, APRIL 29," 1948' i THIRTEEN .Man's Agility At 90 Cited by Court In Tax Decision WASHINGTON UP) A man .who can still do a triple-heel-click, in mid air at age 90 obviously isn't .thinking about dying. Therefore, ' the United States Tax Court ruled, Oliver Johnson wasn't trying to beat the govern ment" out of Inheritance taxes when he gave most of his money to his children. The Internal Revenue Bureau had claimed otherwise. Johnson, a highly successful Kansas (Republic County) farmer .who moved to Long Beach, Calif., when' he was 71, gave $255,950 worth of property to his children themselves aged 50 to 68 when he was 90 years old. ' " He paid $11,266 in gift taxes in this transfer. When he died in 1943 at the age .of 94, he left an estate of only $49,433. But the Revenue Bureau said that gifts by a 90-year-old must have been made "in contemplation of death" and therefore were subject to es tate taxes as jf they had ben made in a will. So the court asked itself if Oliver Johnson was the sort of 90-year-oldster to be contemplat ing death and, after examining his lively ways, came up with a resounding no. r'To demonstrate his agility (at 90 years, four months) he jumped into the air and clicked his heels together two or three times be fore descending to the floor,'.' -the court exclaimed. "He regarded himself as younger than other old men not yet his age and would comment with ridicule upon their elderly appearance. "He frequently stated that he expected io live to he 1Q0 years old." Prp-Hazi Charges To United States MUNICH, Germany, April 27 UP) A Bavarian denazification court has convicted Baroness Erna von Redwitz, a .native American citizen, of being a follower of Nazism. Charges have been filed against a second U. S. citizen. Both actions were taken in the absence of the defendants. They were the first denazification charges to be filed in Bavaria against any persons other than German citizens. The Germans obtained permission from the military government to proceed. Baroness von Redwitz, now pre sumed to fee living in Chicago, was ' fined' 2,000 marks. (The mark, .valued at 10 cents at the military rate of exchange, is now , held at 30 cents for most pur poses in the American and Brit Hsh zones.) In order to' regaln property she left in Germany she must come here and present a claim. Richard J. Franke, 42, a German-born American citizen, has been indicted by .German officials as an early member of the Nazi party. Franke, an interior decora toi, Is listed as a resident of De troit:, Mich.

Dangerous flryg Sought by Sleuths WASHINGTON, April 29 UP) The Food and Drug Administra tion has sent 300 inspectors and chemists on a nationwide round up of a contaminated glucose shipment reported capable of causing injury or death.
