Income Tax
! Crackdown
Washington, Jan. 25 JP) The
treasury department is eyeing
even more closely the income tax
returns of individuals making
between $7,000 and $25,000 a
year.
It plans to crack down on
tax evaders in this group if
congress will put up the money
for additional enforcement
agents.
The plan turned up in testi
mony made public yesterday by
the house appropriations com
mittee. The committee was told
by T. C. Atkeson, assistant in
ternal revenue collector, that the
middle-income group makes
numerous "errors" in computing
tax liability.
Secretary of the Treasury
Snyder asked for more money
for tax law enforcement. "This
is the most effective way that I
know of to increase the gov
ernment's revenue under existing
tax laws," he said.
George J. Schoeneman, com
missioner of revenue, told the
committee that tax audits dur
ing the fiscal year 1949 brought
in $1,891,679,000 which other
wise might have been missed.
But most of these audits, he
said, affected indviduals in
higher income groups. Only
17.8 percent of the returns on
incomes in the $7,000 to $25,000
group and only 3.9 percent of
those under $7,000 are now be
ing so closely checked. The lar
ger the income, the more likely
a check-up.
Treasury officials said they
have found that 7 out of every
10 returns checked in the up
per groups are found to be er-
ronous, with the errors gener
ally m favor of the taxpayer.
They estimated that the gov
ernment gleaned $8.40 for each
dollar spent on extra enforce
ment personnel in the 1949
check.
Coal Pile Loses
Weight to Bin
Sleeper's Bucket
Kansas City, Jan. 25
Kurt Wehrmann couldn't quite
figure out why he was using
up his coal supply so fast.
He took his puzzle to police
yesterday. They found that
a man who has been sleeping
in Wehrmann's coal bin with
his permission, has been car
rying away the coal, a pail at
a time, over the period of sev
eral weeks.
By 1960, women will probably
outnumber the American male
population by about 700,000, the

Ifted Fable:
Rabbit Defies Killer;
Draw Your Own Moral
By TOM WHITNEY
Moscow, Jan. 25 Wl The
story is told here and It is
claimed to be a true one of a
two - weeks - old baby rabbit
which so disconcerted a fierce
sable by offering spirited resist
ance when tne saDie came 10 kui
him that the sable has since
taken the rabbit in as a roommate.
The story comes from a Rus
sian fur farm where one of the
prize animals is a large male
sable named "Red Devil" De
cause of his wildness and fe
rocity. Like the rest of the
weasel-mlnk-marten family, the
valuable pelt-bearing sable is
noted for its "killing" instinct.
Red Devil" was so wild that
he -refused to come out of his
house no matter how hungry he
was when humans were near
the pen. The only exception he
made to this rule was when he
was thrown a live rabbit. Then
with his appetite and instincts
aroused he would come out and
kill the rabbit with one swift
blow and devour, it, snarling ferociously.
Some months ago the sable
was tnrown a two-weens oia
small rabbit, a puny little
beast according to the story.
The rabbit jumped about the pen
unconcernedly while the sable,
eyeing him from' his house, pre
pared to strike.
He swiftly attacked. The rab
bit saw him coming and stood
up on his hind legs and with his
paws in front of him as rab
bits defend themselves. And he
snorted very fiercely and
loudly.

Tough Luck
Honeymooners
Still Plan Trip
Passaic, N.J., Jan. 25 W)
Roy P. Clnflt" of Gettysburg,
S.D., and his bride of six days
ran into trouble on their hon
eymoon trip.
Thieves stole $1,000 worth
of clothing from theii automo
bile here. Heading south yes
terday, they were in a colli
sion and their car suffered
$200 damages.
Glodt must tarry to appear
in court Wednesday on a care
less driving charge, but his
bride isn't discouraged.
"We still plan to go south,"
she said. "Things will have to
get better. They just can't get
any worse."
The sable was surprised. He
stopped with his fangs bared, his
hair standing on end, his body
taut.
The rabbit unconcernedly
turned away to the nearest car
rot and started nibbling it as
if nothing had happened.
The sable stood still for sever
al minutes, turned from side to
side. His hair lay down flat
again. He shut his mouth, sniff
ed about, turned around and
climbed into his house.
The caretaker who watched
concluded that the sable would
come out again and finish off
the rabbit.
But when the caretaker went
to the pen the next day, the rab
bit was still hopping unhurriedly
about the pen finding himself
a meal. And the sable was
paying no attention to the rabbit.
In time the rabbit grew even
bolder. He always was first at
the feed pen and selected for
himself the best of the -carrots
and other vegetables provided
for the sable. When the sable
came up to the feedi pen the
rabbit paid no attention. In
fact he acquired the habit,
whenever the sable grabbed a
morsel which the rabbit wanted,
of pulling it away from him or
shoving him away from it. The
sable put up no resistance.
Furthermore, it was not long
Capitnl Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, Jan. 25, 1950 H
Child labor, which has nearly
ended in the United States,
reached its height in 1900 when
26 per cent of, boys 10 to 15
years old and 10 per cent ot
girls of that age were working.
until the rabbit who by this time
had been named "Hero" dis
covered that the most pleasant
place to sleep was the sable's
own house. He jumped into it
and lay down to sleep next to
the sable. The sable was even
seen to cuddle up to the rabbit.
Meanwhile, whenever the sa
ble was thrown a new live rab
bit, he ate it as before without
the slightest hesitation. This did
not affect his relations with his
rabbit friend, who watched it
all without any interest.
This idyll, as described in the
magazine "Ogonek," has con
tinued for three months and
shows every sign of continuing
indefinitely.

i
4m
As forest industry employees, we ore vitally interested in
permanent markets for the products we make. We know
thai permanent mill and logging operations depend upon
a continuing opportunity to sell these products. To us, per
manent markets mean improved job security, steadier pay
rolls and increased stability of homes and communities.
Under our American system of competitive business, buyers enjoy
a freedom of product choice available nowhere else in the world.
The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company needs to sell lumber, pulp,
plywood and by-products continuously on this free market. To do
this, we must maintain the quality, competitive price and unin
terrupted flow of forest products required by consumer demand.
The operating policies of the company . . . tree farming, dif
ferent kinds of manufacturing plants located on one site, constant
product development and process improvement ... all play an
important part in developing permanent markets.
In addition, the company has a large group of trained forest
product salesmen. They apply modern merchandising methods in
servicing current customers and making new ones. Technical
specialists aid our customers toward better utilization of the
products they buy.
Developing permanent markets will mean a continuing busi
ness enterprise profitable to all of us employees, shareholders,
government, the company and communities in which we operate.
