Portland Couples Win Judgments For Tax Overpayments Portland CU.R) Two Port- l- o land couples have been awarded judgments toxanng 3i-s,tuo U.S. District Judge Claude Mc Colloch lor over payment of taxes in 1943. The award was made to the late Sam Schnitzer and his wife, Rose, and to Harry J. Wolf and his wife, Jennie. The suit was an appeal to a federal tax court decision which ruled that $347,340 in merchan dise advanced to operate a pro posed steel mill in Portland was, following the failure of the ven ture, a capital investment. This would spread the deduction over a five-year period. The two couples, partners in the Alaska Junk Company, had contended the merchandise ad vanced could be written off 1943 income taxes as a bad invest ment. The Schnitzers and Wolfs ap pealed the tax court decision on the grounds of overassessment. Multnomah Tax Board Ordered to Reconvene Portland (U.R) Multnomah o County Commissioner M.

Series of Charges Charges of bribery in commis sion dealings has prompted a series of charges and counter charges between Gov. Paul Patterson and state Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. Langley said that in his judgment "the report submitted to me some time ago by Gov ernor Patterson did not warrant prosecution for a violation of criminal law."

Sunday, August 21, 1953 Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor's not: Aline Mosby is on vacation. Today's guest columnist is Broderick Crawford, the movie toujrh guy who says he's been "discovered" more than any actor in the business. By BRODERICK CRAWFORD Written for The United Press Hollywood (U.R) I'm not entirely certain, but, next to be ing undiscovered, one of the great banes of an actor's life is being "discovered." Neither knocking or boasting, I've prob ably been as "discovered" as anyone. I'm getting tired of it. Let's look at it realistically Charles Bickford, who is won derful in "Not As a Stranger," in which I also appear, has al ways been a fine actor. Yet, when he did "Johnny Belinda," every critic in the country dis covered him. Humphrey Bogart, who made more money in movies than Edi son ever dreamed possible, did pretty well from "Petrified For est" through "Sierra Madre," be ing discovered from picture to picture. Then he did "African Queen" and, if this is possible, he was 'super-discovered." Plenty Young That's the way it goes with actors. We go along from pic ture to picture, some good, some bad. Most of us try pretty hard all the time. I started on the stage when I was eight months old. My mother, Helen Brod erick, and my father, Lester Crawford, both stars of Broad way, carried me on stage in a play, the name of which I have forgotten. Don't think some un hailed Broadway columnist didn't raise the rafters with a cry of "bright new young star." He was fooling, but that kept me off the stage for 20 years. Sam Goldwyn, a well known Hollywood figure, saw me in an early show on Broadway, Punches and Judy," and offered me a contract. He discovered me. I came to Hollywood, did a pic ture called "Woman Chases Man," and was back on Broad way before the cameraman could stop cranking. Nobody discov ered me in that. Big and Stupid But on the way back to New York, I did a little "discover ing" on my own. I read a book called "Of Mice and Men." I wanted to do the stage version. I was the biggest, stupidest, dull est, most slow-witted Lennie in history. The play ran a year I was a smash. Then they made the movie and Lon Chaney Jr. was the biggest, best, stupidest Lennie ever seen. In "Not As a Stranger" Lon, playing Robert Mitchum's father, will be discovered by audiences and critics. Need I point out that he had been discovered playing the film version of Lennie. And he was good in that, too. Actor's aren't like uranium deposits. They don't lie fallow until some joker with a buzz box discovers them. They're working all the time. Crosby's Injury Not Break, Doctors Say ' Tacoma, Wash. Mad igan Army hospital doctors said Saturday Philip Crosby, 21-year-old son of crooner Bing Crosby, did not suffer a broken back after all in an automobile ac cident last Sunday, only muscle injuries. At first it was believed young Crosby suffered one or more fractured vertebrae when his car left a road near Raymond, Wash. However, doctors at the army hospital on the Fort Lewis res ervation said X-rays showed no broken bones. Crosby, now an army private at Fort Lewis, was reported to be in "good" condition. Atten dants said he was expected to be released from the hospital in about a week.

Many schools permit install ment payments, a survey show ed, and some have their own pri vately endowed loan funds for deserving students.

Two Different Contracts Under a plan adopted jointly by the two institutions, a stu dent's education may be financed at the arte of $50 or $60 a month under two different contracts. Under one plan, the parents begin depositing $50 a month in the bank 24 months before the student's registration. The de posits continue for two years and eight months after gradua tion. The bank will pay $1200 to EASY TERMS 214 West re ralw for College Educations the college each year the student is enrolled. Under the second plan month ly deposits of $65 begin one year before registration and continue one year and three months after graduation. Carl C. McGraw, president of the bank, said most middle-income families would not be able to own homes or automobiles without installment credit, and that time payments for college tuition is a logical extension of the installment system.
