Newspaper Page Text16 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mefar. Or. Thursday, Oct. 29, 1959 Revenue Service Working on Machine to Check Tax Returns Washington-UPD-The Inter nal Revenue Service is mak ing long-range plans to arm itself by 1967 with electronic machines that will check ev ery income tax return and expose any wrong ones. Officials expect the pro gram, which will cost about 100 million dollars, to net billions of dollars in addition al revenue. "We've been behind the times in our processing of Flying Saucer About To Make First Test Trip Washington -(UPC- America is about to test fly its first flying saucer. But the hush-hush project is about four months behind schedule, according to a time table made available to United Press International earlier this year. Even so, this country is hop ing to beat the Russians to the punch in developing the radi cal new aircraft, which the Soviets also are assumed to be working on. The latest word on the saucer came from Toronto Wedesday after a free - lance photographer flew over its hangar and took a picture of the shining craft parked out side. Test Flight Due The incident caused red faces but prompted Sir Roy Dobson, board chairman of Avro Aircraft Ltd. of Canada, which is developing the saucer for the United States, to dis close frhat the first outside test flight will be made soon. Dobson said the 50-foot di ameter saucer already had mad a successful flight in side a hanger, rising under its fim ArtTBTO-i rr -ncVi ir.1. ff ail" jetted from beneath the craft. Few details have been made public about the new aircraft but Pentagon se crecy wraps are expected to be at least partially removed once the saucer makes its first test flight. Reliable sources said the saucer will provide the U.S. Army with a modern airborne cavalry, "the. likes of which have never been seen in warfare." returns," one official explain ed. "There is such a terrific volume - something like 300 million related returns a year -that human beings can't han dle it. We're going to have to mechanize." Scanning Returns The result, eventually, would be scanning of all tax returns by electronic ma chines instead of the existing spot-check volume of one out of every 30 returns. Only the earliest prelimin ary planning has been done, but the IRS is hoping to have a pilot operation under way in some area by 1961. The agency would like it to be in full nationwide operation by 1967. The system, in brief, would involve feeding information from tax returns into elec tronic processors which would record the data on magnetized tape. Other material, from Three Crashes Are Reported to Police State police investigated three traffic accidents Wed nesday evening. Howard Albert Patrick, 47, of 610 Church st., Phoenix, received a bruise on the left leg about 11 p.m. yesterday when he was struck by a car while riding his bicycle on Highway 99 south of Kim's. Officers said Mrs. Patrick called the state police, off ice to report that her husband had been struck by a car driven by Chester Charles Davey, 47, of 77 Manzanita st., Ashland. Davey, who took Patrick to his home following the acci dent, said he did not see the bicycle. Both Davey and Patrick were traveling north, police said. A car driven by Mary Anne Dawson, 17, of 2804 Lisonbee lane, Ashland, and a pickup truck operated by Samuel Leon Babb, 71, of 26 Lewis St., were damaged about 5:15 p.m. when' they collided on Highway 99 south of Phoenix. Officers informed Babb that a complaint from district court will be filed against him charging failure to yield right of way. . State police also investi gated a collision about 9 p.m. at the intersection of Orchard Home dr. and Stewart ave. in volving cars operated by Mrs. Mary Ethel Payton, 57, of 319 South Peach st.; and Kenneth Paul Mays, 22, of 203 North Holly st. Police said both vehicles were damaged. No citations were issued. Immigration Law ChangeSuggested Salem - IUPD - Changes In Oregon's laws regarding im migrants to the United States may be in order, Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton said today. Some provisions of the state's laws are outdated, Thornton said. The Federal Immigration and Naturalization Bureau no longer requires an applicant for U. S. citizenship to file "first papers" or declare his intention of becoming a citi zen. . However, many Oregon laws require that an immi grant file his intention before he can secure a job or enter into certain professions. Thornton said future legis latures might want to change the state laws, but said that in the meantime "first papers" would be required by immi grants seeking jobs. - Athena Youth . Killed By Accidental Shot Athena -UPD- Richard Mc- Cracken, 15, Athena, was shot and killed while riding in a car here Wednesday night, police reported. " Deputy Sheriff Tom Smith said the youth was accidental ly shot in the stomach by a 22 caliber revolver being handled by a high school com panion. I withholding tax forms and other sources also would be put on tape. If figures failed to gibe, "the machine would throw out a card to alert iK agents. Further Check As a further check of the taxpayer's figures, the ma chines would be supplied with information on normal in come and expenses of profes sional and other categories. Here too, non-conforming re turns would be rejected by the machine. Rejection would mean send ing the return to the taxpay er's district office for further checks by an auditor-human, that is. This could lead to the same types of consultations that come up now when a tax payer is questioned after a spot check. ' The IRS, aware that some taxpayers may consider the contemplated machines an ul timate bane to their existence, points out. that there also is a rosy side to the electronic picture. For one thing, the machines also would detect over-payments and start re funds rolling. And they also would give honest taxpayers more assurance that dishonest ones are being caught. Porter Visions Danger of War San Francisco -IUPD- U.S. Rep. Charles O. Porter (D Ore.) charged Wednesday that America's policy of "cold shoulder to Red China and of warm embrace to Chiang Kai- shek is leading us into war.' He told a meeting of the San Francisco World Trade association that a new policy o formal handshake at arms length is in order in both in stances. Porter said the U.N. should recognize Red China-and the U.S. should cease its sponsor ship of Chiang Kai-shek. He urged trade with Red China, the internationalization of Formosa and the Pescadores Island, and an exchange with Red. China of tourists, government officials and newsmen. "Chiang evidently has no serious intention of recon quering the China mainland," Porter said. "The dagger he is pointing at the enemies' heart is not real-it is a rub ber dangger." . 1 Kennedy Not To Take Second Place ; Washington-dJPD-Sen. John F. Kennedy, a front-runner among Democratic president ial aspirants, intends to make it clear that he is unavailable for second place on his party's ticket. When he makes a foftnal announcement of his presi dential candidacy, probably in January, he can be( expect ed to couple it with a state men! that he won't run as a vice presidential nominee. This word came today from the Kennedy camp where such a statement was viewed as essential to clear the pre convention atmosphere for 1960.
