IRS Tax Motion Draws Quick Fire From CP8, Special Reports WASHINGTON—The Internal Revenue Service’s proposal to elimi nate all tax deductions where taxpayers Rain job advancement from their educational expenses will be contested by several parties in cludinR NDKA at public hearings. The IRS suggested the new regulations on July 7 to tighten 1958 guidelines allowing taxpayers to deduct from their gross income all "business expenses” leading to improvement of skills, regardless of whether a degree, promotion or raise resulted. Business expenses include educational expenses to improve skills and apply to me chanics as well as teachers. IRS issued the new regulations to prevent taxpayers, and teachers in particular, from deducting more income from their taxes than the 1058 rules allowed. If instituted, the IRS rules would bar exemptions for educational travel, including sabbaticals, and provide tax relief only for expenses necessary for maintaining employment. Congressional reaction to the IRS suggestion was immediate and intense. Forty-five senators have introduced bills to bar the new IRS rules, and the move has gained similar momentum in the House. Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind.) has attached a teacher tax credit Amazon Resident Committee to Meet A meeting of the newly-formed Amazon Resident Committee has been called for 7:30 p.m. today in the Roosevelt Junior High School cafeteria in order for the group to organize a liaison body with the University Housing of fice and residents of the Amazon Project. The group was originally form ed to register complaints with the University Housing Office about living conditions and disrupting of privacy for making repairs to the houses in the project. Spencer Block, member of the Committee, said that Director of Married Student Housing John Thorpe had met earlier with the group and had recognized it as ■'beneficial to all concerned." dim as a nacr to an unrelated bill on taxes which is pending before the Senate Finance Com mittee. In the House, a bill spon sored by Congresswoman Edith Green (D-Oregon) is the first measure for consideration before the Ways and Means Commit tee. The Hartke amendment may be in severe trouble because the chairman of the Finance Com mittee, Senator Russell Long (D-La.), Democratic majority whip, may pigeonhole the bill if the Johnson administration takes a stand against tax exemp tions for teachers.

The sign itself will not be per manent, but will be constructed to be put up or taken down in five minutes. It will have an oil cloth face which will be changed for each event. The sign will be the only one allowed on the SU lawn, and in accordance with SU policy, will be available for all-campus events only, such as Homecoming, Junior Weekend, Dad’s Day, etc. Also in accordance with pres ent policy each group will need the permission of the SU Board to use this sign. A group could then purchase—at cost from the Board—a cut-to-size square of oil cloth on which to paint their mes sage in advance. The sign will be placed so as to be readable from "Hello Walk” and 13th Avenue. The probable size of its face will be four feet by eight feet.

Other campuses have already established a Student Union lawn sign of this nature, according to Ken Scttlemier, who introduced the resolution. In other action the Board: • Appointed Jeff Dorrah, Scott Farleigh, Jim Stevens, and Kathy Turnbull as members of the rec reation council. • Re-opened petitioning for the chairmanships of the Per sonnel and Movie Committees. • Heard a report that space in the SU basement now occupied by a program of the Speech De partment would not be available for student activities office space, since the Speech Department is said to have a written contract for space in a “fireproof build ing.” Since the space it now oc cupies is the only unoccupied space in any of the buildings considered “fireproof,” it is likely to stay there. The Board may look into the situation further, and is considering asking for space in the Agate Street offices. • Approved 10 University delegates to the conference of the Association of College Unions, which will be held here October 20, 21, and 22. The delegates are Jim Beat, Jim Wemsmg, Jim Graves, Alice Kaseberg, Julie Tripp, Christy Moller, Byron Mizuha, John Ressler, A1 Love ness, and Tom Cox.
