Frank Carlson (R-Kan.), Wednesday announced Senate Finance Committee approval of a measure designed o cor rect a "serious inequity" in tax laws for some newspapers and magazines. Carlson said the committee unanimously approved an amendment to a House-passed tax bill which would permit publishers to defer reporting of prepaid subscription in come for tax purposes until such income was earned. A 1940 Internal Revenue ruling permitted publishers who had consistently reported prepaid subscriptions when earned, to continue to do so. Carlson said the amendment approved Wednesday would remove a "hardship" for the relatively few publishers not permitted to use the "earned" basis of reporting. The amendment was offered to a bill now pending before the Finance Committee which makes technical corrections in the Internal Revenue code.

Inglewood, Calif.-p(UPI) Albert Clark Reed, brilliant government scientist who turned - tip as a race track groom after a mysterious six year disappearance, said to day that only his love for horses made his "second life" bearable. "Otherwise," the 51-year-old former top secret scientist said, "I've regretted almost every minute since my deci sion to begin a new life." During his absence, his wife died of cancer and his son, Timothy, now 12, was adopted.- ' Although Reed worked at Hollywood Park race track, only a few miles from his family's former nome in Pas adena, he knew nothing of his wife and. son x until traced through security regulations which require all users of the stable area to be finger printed. No Explanation Reed, who has been going under the name of Alfred Cole Reese, said: "I'm certainlv not proud of what I did. But the terrible thing fs that I still can't ex plain why I did it. It doesn't make sense. It goes against my grain. No, I certainly wouldn't do it again." The cowboy-garbecl ex-sci entist, who vanished while working on a top secret proj ect for the government at the California Institute of Tech noloev. said that only his in terest in' horses soothed the pain of his "wrong decision." "A horse is just as compli cated and fascinating as any aimlane. rocket or missile and it's got a brain," he said "A horse is very willing to learn, but vou really can't teach anything to a mechani can thing." He added: "I love horses. They're wonderful, intelligent, sensi tive creatures. I don't know what I'll do now, but I love this work and hope to stay with horses." Kept on Going Reed disappeared on July 7, 1952, when he set out from his Pasadena home for a spe cial meeting at Caltech. "I just kept on going," he said.
