Louis to Submit Financial Statement to Government Chicago (U.Ri A complete financial statement from former heavyweight boxing champ Joe Louis is expected to be handed over to the government today in an effort to solve his income tax troubles. The scheduled conference be tween federal revenue agents and Aaron Payne. Louis' attorn ey, and his accountant. Arthur Wilson, will be the first of sev eral such meetings designed to arrive at a compromise on the former boxer's payment of back taxes. The government has claimed that Louis owes about SI. 250. 000 in taxes. Federal officials said the largest chunk of the debt is comprised of personal income taxes form 1946 through 1954. Internal Revenue Service of ficials indicated that an arrange ment might be worked out whereby Louis would keep more of the money he earns by mak ing smaller peyments on his ar rears over a longer period of time. Jay G. Philpott, assistant dir ector of the Revenue Service's Chicago branch, denied that the department was planning any punitive action against the ex athlete. "But it must be understood." Philpott said, "that Mr. Louis must be treated like anyone else in tax matters. If Mr. Louis has the proposal of a compromise in mind, we here would consider it." Payne said Louis' current in come comes primarily from a local milk firm which displays Tuesday, January 8, 19S7 I 1 1 "f " j- r A A1 , Tribune fc-s m M 7 va ; ,1 -1 his name and from the Interna tional Boxing Club, which pays him S20.000 a year for serving in a public relations job. The milk company pays him $100.40 a week. Meanwhile, Payne said he planned to appeal a ruling that Louis must turn over a S66.000 trust fund to the government. The U.S. Tax Court last month ruled that Louis already was in debt to the government when the fund was set up for his two children in the late 1940s, and that he had no right to divert the money.
