1960 U.S. Income Taxpayers
Are Affected by Some Changes
By HENRY J. BECHTOLD
UPI Financial Lditor
New York-flJPIi-One conso
lation for the losers In the
recent election is that they
do not have
to pay taxes
on the cam
paign contri
butions they
received.
Neither do
the winners,
but I'm sure
thev wouldn't
Benry Bechlold mind too
much. This is only one of near
ly 60 non-taxable items listed
In the 1961 edition of the
"U.S. Master Tax Guide" put
out by the Commerce Clear
ing House, Chicago.
This national reporting au
thority on tax and buslncs
law says many taxpayers wil
be affected by important 106'
federal income tux changes.
The guide also tabulate.'.
over 90 scpurate items which
must be reported as income,
including such diverse items
as "burled treasure" and "tui
tion" paid by the taxpayer's
employer.
Battle Continues
The government continues
to wage its battle to improve
expense account reporting
among businessmen. Four of
the forms covering this sub'
Ject have been revised for
1960 to provide space for in
formation as to certain higher
paid individuals.
Newly developed this year
are the suggested sales tax
deduction guideposts wnicn
Mild Winter Said
Up to Behavior of
Lofty Jet Streams
Washinglon-IUPB-It looks as
though wc might be in for a
generally mild winter
If the prevailing wester
lies keep about the same
course they are on now.
If these lofty winds, also
called jet streams, don't weak
en and start meandering.
These are big "ifs" and the
Weather Bureau wouldn't bet
you a dead match that this
winter won't turn out to be
as mean as last. '
Performing Better
Still, the high westerlies
are performing a lot better

for temporary duty awaiting
entrance in machinist mate
tchool at Great Lakes, 111,
than they were a year ago
at this time, and there is no
sign that they are about to
doublccross us.
On the strength of their
conduct during the first half
of November, the bureau in
Its "30-day outlook" Issued
Wednesday predicted mild
weather on the average for
the month ending in mid-No-the
month ending in mid-December.
The westerlies are great
rivers of air which flow west
to east around the Northern
Hemisphere. They channel the
weather, so to speak.
Got Off Course
Last fall for some reason
they got off their normal
course. Instead of moving gen
erally over the middle of the
country, they toured as far
south as the Gulf of Mexico.
Moreover, instead of driv
ing more or less straight
across the continent, they
menndered. The result was
that cold air masses from
Canada and Alaska were
channeled southward.
This fall, the reverse is
true. The westerlies are far
ther north than normal and
moving faster than normal.
They are crossing the coun
try along the U.S.-Canadian
border.
Because they come in from
the Pacific their temperatures
are on the mild side, and be
cause thoy are moving fast
and straight, they are fending
off Invasions of cold air from
the far north

l.strict directors were author
ed to release to taxpayers,
'hese guides so far have been
clcascd In Illinois, Pennsyl
vania and Tennessee.
Among the high spots ex
plained in the guide, which
reflects hundreds of new rul
ings and decisions, arc:
Beginning with 1960 lax re
turns, a taxpayer an deduct
all medical expenses for a de
pendent parent who is age
65 or over before the taxable
year Is ended.
Double deductions of state
taxes resulting from changes
in accrual dates are forbidden
after 1960.
Real estate investment
trusts are now accorded new
tax advantages in that only
the investors may be taxed
on the income.
A declaration- of estimated
lax for 1961 is not required
where a taxpayer's estimated
tax liabality is less than $40.
Losser of Difference
For all casualty losses, busi
ness and non-business, the de
ductible loss generally is the
lesser of the difference in
value of the property before
and after the casualty, or the
adjusted basis.
The full amount of a tax
deficiency must be paid be
fore the taxpayer can sue for
an income tax refund in a U.S.
district court.
Whether strike benefits are
gifts or taxable income is a
question of fact.
Depreciation must be com
puted over the period of use
ful lifo of an asset to the tax
payer, rather than over its
physical life.
Under the declining bal
ance method, an asset cannot
be depreciated below "rea
sonable salvage value."
A margin buyer of stock
is not entitled to a dividend-received-credit
on a so-called
short dividend."

Broadcasters Told
To Eliminate Some
Misconceptions ,
Salem - lUPD - Delegates to
the 1960 fall meeting of the
Oregon Association of Broad
casters were told here Friday
that the industry must make
a coordinated effort to elimi
nate some "gross misunder
standings" about broadcast-
James McKnight of Sacra
mento, Calif., West Coast sta
tion relations representative
for the National Association
of Broadcasters, said a vital
part of the effort is "subscrip
tion and adherence to the
radio code of good practices
and the television code.
In this way, McKnight said,
each broadcaster will know
"whether he is living up to
the full implications of the
term public service.,'
Luncheon speaker at the
one day meeting was State
Finance Director Freeman
Holmer who described broad
casting as "an awesome re
sponsibility." He likened it to
the responsibility of public
officials.
Holmer challenged the
broadcasters to provide great
er community coverage and
"more depth" in such coverage.
At the same time he said the
trend should be away from
what he termed controvers
ial reporting," . or reporting
done tor the sake of stirring
up a controversy.
Yturri Will Again
Lead Senate GOPs
Salem --(UPI) - Republican
officials said Friday that
when GOP legislators meet
here Dec. 3 tliere will be no
caucus of state senators, mean
ing that Sen. Anthony Yturri
(R..Ontario) will again be the

A GOP caucus of state rep
resentatives is still schedul
ed, however.

REINFORCING NEEDED If the day was
clear, MaJ. Robert Anderson could see his
entire command including unfinished Fort
Sumter. Sitting in the middle of the chan
nel, Sumter was being built on a man-made
island of granite. After an inspection, An
derson recommended that Sumter be fin
ished and reinforced. He realized that Fort
Moultrie, his headquarters, needed rein
forcing, also. Anderson was to ask for rein
forcements six times before the war started,
but he would never get them.

UPI Correspondent
The firebrands and the few
cool heads of seething South
Carolina already hod been
summoned to vote on seces
sion when, on Nov. 21, 1880,
a middle-sized Regular Army
major of artillery, his dark
hair shot with gray, arrived
at Ft, Moultrie and took com
mand of the U.S. defenses for
Charleston.
Even as he hand -counted
his garrison force of 64 men
and six officers he did, in
deed, have a surgeon and a
chaplain and a brass band of
13 in addition Charleston
itself was stoked to the point
of spontaneous combustion.
Military companies, old and
new drilled every night on
the cobbled street Hoop
skirted ladies forewent teas to
sew uniforms and flags. Slave
owners counted thoir chattels
against the time when they
would be needed to dig
trenches and throw up earth
works. These sights, which MaJ.
Robert Anderson saw when
lie left the steam cars from
Washington, must have been
disheartening to the 55-year-
old Mexican War veterans, a
renowned artillery instructor
at the Army academy at West
Point.
Forces Are Weak
While the forces of seces
sion were mustering, Ander
son, if the day was clear,
could see Ills whole command
-such as it was-from Charles
ton's Battery. This command
was: one fort, equipped with
guns but held only by a care
taker; one manned fort (six
officers, 77 men, a surgeon
and a chaplain), vulnerable
and run down; one unfinished
fort, and one in ruins.
If he suspected, as many
did, that his appointment had
been due to the fact that he
was a Kcntuckian and mar
ried to a Georgia-born wife he
had left in the North because
of illness, he showed no evi
dence of it, then or ever. His
loyally to the union would
prove unquestionable.
Anderson had been told by
Secretary of War John B.
Floyd that he must hold these
forts. Floyd was a Virginian.
Also, Floyd was trying to sell
10,000 obsolete muskets to
South Carolina, But, even so,
Anderson may have left the
secretary's office with the im
pression that ho would be re
inforced. Commander It Bypassed
Lt. Gen. Winfield Scott,
commander-in-chief of the
Army, had been bypassed in
Issuance of Anderson's orders.
When Anderson called on the
old general in New York be
fore he saw Floyd, Scott was
gracious as he always was but
told Anderson that any in
structions must come from
Floyd. Scott had maintained
his offices In New York since
he had quarreled with Presi
dent Franklin Pierce years bo
fore. So the fuse already had
been Inserted Into the powder
keg when Anderson arrived
on the scene. When It would
be set off was anybody's
guess,'
Capt. Abncr Doubleday,
second In command of the de
fenses, thought it would be
soon. Ho was thinking of
sending his family north.
Nearest to Charleston in
Anderson's command was
Castlo Pickncy, about three
quarters of a mile cast Of the
docks on an island called
Shute's Folly. It was equipped
with heavy guns. Ordnonce
Sergeant Skillcn, his wife and
15-year-old daughter, Kate,
were the only inhabitants.
Skillen's duty was to oil the
guns. 1
Fort Moultrie, Anderson's
headquarters and the only
manned work around the har
bor, was on Sullivan's Island
about four miles across the
bay from the city. It was like
a homecoming for the major.
Early in his Army career he
had served a tour of duty
there In the days when Moul
trie was known as the "coun
try club" of the Army.
On the west bank of the
harbor was Ft. Johnson, an
other Revolutionary work,
which had been abandoned
and had fallen into ruin.
But there in the center of
the channel, like a cork bot
tling up Charleston, lay un
finished Fort Sumter. Started
in 1839, Sumter was built on
a man-made Island of granite,
the "leavings" of New Eng
land quarries, a Job that con
sumed 10 years and $500,000.
It was a formidable pile. Its
plans called for a garrison of
050 men and 146 guns.
But this masonry shell had
neither men nor mounted
guns.
StranRely, some time be
fore Anderson was assigned to
the command, there had been
a sudden renewal of interest
by Secretary Floyd in the
condition of the forts, new ap-
propriations became availa
ble and $230,000 was allocat
ed to put the works Into good
condition, $80,000 to finish
Sumter and the rest for Moul
trie. Northerners watched
this move with some suspt
cion. Was the Virginian-secre
tary of war building up the
torts so South Carolina would
be able to seize a ready-made
defense?
Moultrie Is Vulnerable
Capt. John Gray Foster of
the U. S. Army Engineers, 37,
West Pointer, six feet tall and
bearded, was assigned to the
job. Fresh from similar work
in Maryland he pitched in
Willi civilian construction
crews from Charleston and
Baltimore. He had started In
mid-September at Moultrie
and was well along when An
derson arrived.
Over the years a summer
resort had grown up on Sulli
van's Island and by 1860
nearly surrounded Moultrie.
Charlcstonians spent the hot
summer months in the sea
breezes and some lived there
the year around. Many of the
houses looked down on the
fort, making ideal perches for
sharpshooters to pick off the
garrison.
Drifting sand had piled
against the brick bastions un
til Capt. Doubleday wrote that
a herd of cows could have
invaded the fort merely by
strolling up the sand dunes.
One of Anedrson's first orders
was to shovel away the sand.
Doubleday suggested burning
the houses above but Ander
son demurred.
Foster's building activities
aroused Charlcstonians. They
set patrols by land and sea to
keep his work unjler surveil
lance. Wearing the blue cock
ades of secession, they
strolled about Moultrie watch
ing the progress. Officers of
the mushrooming military
companies visited the work
and made notes. More than
one remarked how generous
it was of the government to
repair the forts before they
took over. Even Anderson,
normally a close - mouthed
man, remarked that the seces
sionists seemed bent on tak
ing the fort.
Pleas Go Unheeded
Anderson inspected Castle
Plckney. Here was a fort he
could defend. Its guns domi
nated the city.
Then he looked over Sum
ter. Then he reported to Wash
ington In terms that would
put Floyd on notice.
Ho recommended:
Garrison Castle. Plckney
Immediately to help defend
Moultrie which was wide
open to attack. -
Complete Sumter the key
to the situation and garrison
It.
Sizable reinforcements
must be sent and soon.
Five other times before the
war started Anderson would
request reinforcements. He
never got them.
(Next week - The wheels of
secession begin turning in five
states.)
