HOW TO SAVE ON TAXES II Expense Account Deductions Tightening of the exense account rules has been so much in the headlines in recent months that you easily may have forgotten that the strict, new limits on expense account de ductions enacted by the 1962 tax law do not apply to the year 1962. I repeat, the strict new limits do not apply to money you, as a businessman, salesman or professional man spent for business travel, entertainment or gifts in 1962, even though It is now 1963 and you are now filing, your return for 1962. Here's why this can mean many dollars of tax savings for you. Under the 1962 tax law, the Internal Revenue Service has just adopted regulations which will bar any deduction for business travel, entertainment and gifts unless the Items are properly entered in diaries or other statements, properly supported by receipts if in excess of a certain amount, etc. But if you failed to keep these records for your 1962 expenses, you don't necessarily lose your deductions. You are entitled to the benefit of the so-called "Cohan" rule which was established by the courts and recognized by the Treasury until Congress put an end to it for 1963 and on. Under this Cohan rule, 11 you can prova that you look a business trip say, as a traveling salesman with a reg ular route or that you are in a business or prolesslon in which business entertainment is common practice, you are entitled lo deduct a reasonable estimate oi what you must have spent. This holds despite your lack of apecliie records lo prove the exact amounts you ipenl on various items oi lravel and entertainment in 1962. In the absence oi apecliie records, you may, oi course, have a hassle with lhe Treasury over what is a reasonable estimate, but you are not completely barred from any deduction as you will be under the new law, applying lo 1963. If you entertained customers, prospects or clients in 1962 to build goodwill without expecting any Immediate business from them, you can deduct your entertainment outlays as ordinary and necessary business expenses on your 1962 tax return. This holds, even though the 1962 tax law can bar any deduction for similar expenses In 1963. If you gave deductible business gifts In 1962, you can deduct your full cost of these gifts as business expenses on your 1962 return. This holds, even though the law will limit your deductions to $25 year per donee for 1963 on. If you paid dues, to belong to a social, golf or other ath letic club in 1962, keep this pint In mind. For the year 1963 and on, you won't be able to deduct any part of the dues for such club memberships as entertainment expenses un less you use the club more than 50 per cent of the time for business purposes. But this does not apply to 1962. Thus, if only 25 per cent of your golf club visits during 1962 were for unquestionable business contracts, you can deduct 25 per cent of the year's dues, even though you didn't use the club more than 50 per cent of the time for business purposes. If you look a business trip in 1962 and then wenl on a vacation after finishing your business, you can deduct your lull transportation costs lo and back home from the business destination. For similar combined business-vacation trips from 1963 on, you may lose the deduction for a proportionate part oi your transportation costs ii th trip lasts more than a week and 25 per cent or mora li lhe time you spend on the trip is ior such personal activities as vacationing. If you, as an individual or firm, report your Income on a 12-month fiscal year instead of a calendar year basis, you're in for a double headache when it comes to your expense account deductions. Say that instead of reporting your income for the cal endar year 1982, which runs from Jan. 1 though Dec. 31, 1962, you report on a fiscal year running from July I, 1962, which runs from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 1962, your report on a fiscal year running from July 1, 1962, to June 30, 1963, Your outlays made or incurred for travel, entertainment and business gifts during the period ending Dec. 31, 1H8Z, win be deductible according to the old rules. Your outlays made or incurred for the period after Dec. 31. 1962, may be de ducted only If they meet the new, stricter tests of the 1982 tax law.

WEBB Jr. Cape Canaveral - (UPD - In cold mathematics, the man power ratio of America's as tronaut p-'uKidm is rather poor. It takes only one man to fly a spaceship, but more than 30,000 to get him up and back down. At the moment, it can't be helped. But for scientists and engineers plotting the future of man's role in space, it is a major headache. Manned spaceflights may someday become an everyday proposition but not as long as a force of men equal to the population of Hackensack, .J., must be scattered to earth's four corners for each and every mission. The problem now is that landing techniques are a hit vague. The smallness of the early Mercury capsules dic tated that the landing system be lightweight and simple. A parachute arrangement for a touchdown" in the ocean was selected. In America's first three manned orbital flights, it worked admirably. But it was roughly akin to using the en tire power output of Grand Coulee dam just to make sure one lightbulb worked. Of the roughly 30,000 men working on each of the three shots, the bulk was deployed In the recovery forces cen tered in the Atlantic Ocean for John Glenn and Scott Carpenter, In the Pacific for waiter Schirra. The forthcoming 34-hour flight of astronaut L. Gordon Cooper Jr. will place even more stringent manpower de mands on the ships, helicop ters and airplanes In the re covery force. Main recov ery areas will be set un In both the Atlantic and Pacific. Scientists, who sometimes indicate a disdain for money, recognize the economic limita tions to this sort of thing. Anyway, as one space agency official put it, "There s some thing inelegant and unsophis ticated about a parachute landing." One serious proposal is the so-called "paragllder," an odd' looking bat winged gadget that looks strikingly similar to an Idea Leonardo da Vinci put on paper about the time Columbus was discovering America. Some experts say that such a wing, about 45 feet wide, could be used with America's upcoming two-man Gemini space capsules to give me astronauts enough control to pick their return spot, per haps on land instead of the tricky sea. West Texas has been pro posed as a landing base, but there are hints that politics had more than a little to do with this suggestion. Da Vinci didn't pursue his invention. Perhaps he knew someting that scientists today are lust finding out. Tha modern paraglider is report ed to have failed in four o its first five "drop" tests at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. So It may be that, when the first Gemini flights are mada in 1964, the astronauts will still be using the old and faithful parachute. And tha oceans again will be covered with men waiting for their return. Geography Booklet Available in Area Ashland - Copies of a new booklet, "Geography Via Usa of the Globe," by Dr. William M.
