As I reported in the third column in this scries, in preparing your 1062 mates of your travel and entertainment expenses if you don't have the exact details. But for 1D63, if you don't keep the proper records re quired by the Treasury, you lose all your deductions even though you actually spent the money for a sound business purpose. The key to bucking up your 1063 deductions under the new Treasury rules is a currently kept diiiry, account book, expense statement, etc. "Currently" means that the entries must be made, in Treasury jargon, "at or near the time of the expenditures." In practice, this piobaby means not later than the end of the day during which the expenditure was made. If you try writing up a diary on a weekly or monthly basis, its value as proof of your expenses will be come almost worthless. If you keep your diary currently, you can tran scribe the information to an expense account state ment which you can submit to your employer "in the regular course of good business practice." An adequate diary can be easily transcribed into the form required by your employer at a later dale, such as weekly or monthly. Here is the information you must record in your diary, expense book, etc., on a daily basis. Travel: The cost, date you lenvc and return, places travel ed to, business reason lor trip expected. Entertainment: Cost, date, name and address of restaurant, theatre, etc., and nature of entertainment if it isn't other wise apparent. Business reason or business benefit expected and nature of any business discussion or activity. Business relationship of each person entertained. Entertainment before or after business discussion: If the entertainment lakes place directly preceding or following a substantial and bona fide business discussion, you record not only the information required for the entertainment but also details of the business discussion - lime and duration of the discussion, place, business purpose and business relationship of those participating. Details required: Each separate expenditure. However, you can make single daily entries for each of the following groups: breakfast, lunch or dinner; tips with their underly ing expense; incidental costs of traveling away from home such us gas, oil, taxis; Incidental costs in connection with en tertainment such as taxis, telephones. Supporting datai In addition to your current entries In your diary, you'll need receipted bills or similar evidence to prove amounts spent fur lodging while away from home and for other scperatc expenditures of $25 or more. The one ex ception is that transportation charges of S25 or nunc need not be supported this way if receipts or bills aren't readily avail able. For instance, receipts generally will be needed fur plane fares because plane receipts are generally available, but railroad fares of $25 or more wouldn't require this be cause rail receipts aren't generally given. You must keep these records whether you are a sole proprietor, professional, etc., or an employee reim bursed for your expenses. A simplified record keeping is possible, though, for employees who are given a per diem allowance ol not more than $25 per day or who are reimbursed up to $25 a day while traveling away from home. If you're In this group, you'll generally need to show only the time, place and business purpose of your trip. You need not go into other delails, but your allowances and reimburse ments must be determined in good faith by your employer. It's possible - to end this series on a bright note - that If you keep careful expense account records for l!lt3, vou'll find that you arc entitled to estimates of past years, and good records can stop a Treasury agent from cutting down your deduction claims. It's at least possible. OPEN 24 Hours 7 Days Per Week One Load Now! Al Our Medford Launderette-710 N.

This is over and above taxes and other expenses which might be on the upgrade dur ing the same period, and it will represent an increase of about $1 billion over a span of 10 years for the bill in question. Tlic $2 billion represents what is estimated by the Council for Financial Aid to Education as the amount of voluntary support which will be needed by colleges and uni versities In this nation by 1070. Support Encouraged Operations of the council began in 1053. It was founded by businessmen to encourage voluntary support of institu tions of higher learning; its program has been financed by four foundations, Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller and Sloan. It docs not solicit or pay out funds for education, but pro motes their giving. Growth of the college popu lation, and its anticipated con tinuance arc familiar facts to most families, educators and government bodies. Present enrollments are expected to double by 1070, and the coun cil said in a recent pamphlet that even by the most con servative estimates the an nual investment in colleges and universities needs to dou ble. Some From Students About a quarter of what Is needed may come from stu dents and their families. Tax support, as most states al ready have found, must in crease if it is to continue to provide abuut 45 per cent o( the total cost. Private gift support, includ ing that from alumni, founda tions, corporations and others, has been supplying about 21 per cent of the total yearly income for higher education, estimated at a little more than SI billion in This is the sum which the council believes it will be necessary to double by 1970.

MEDFORD School Size Not A Rule To Judge Academic Status Portland - There is no di rect relationship between the size of secondary schools and recognized academic status. Dr. Errett Hummel, profes sor of education at Portland State college, told the annual meeting of the American Edu cational Research association in Chicago recently thit studies of 675 high schools in the northwest revealed that 33 per cent of the accredited schools have enrollments of less than 200 students. In Oregon there are 219 secondary schools and 169 are accredited by the North west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools, he said. A total of 68 accredited Ore' gon secondary schools have enrollments of 300 students or less and have a faculty of from 5 to 17. Dr. Hummel pointed out that the findings ran con trary to popular thinking. A large number of small schools are able to secure academic standardization and accredita tion. Per Capita Costs Another portion of the cn rollmcnt study revealed that there is a definite inverse ratio in the western United States between size of stu dent bodies and per capita cost. Studies of per capita costs in nine western states reveal ed that as enrollment in creases, per capita costs de crease, he said. In Oregon, per capita costs for schools with enrollments from 1-99 were $932 as compared with per capita costs of $523 for schools with 1,000 or more students. The PSC professor noted that in Washington, Oregon and California the highest costs were always found in schools with less than 100 enrollment. He noted thai only in Nevada is the largest enrollment equated with the lowest per capita cost. In oth er slates, lowest costs were found in schools vhich arc medium large for their state, he said. 'There appears to be a trend for costs of secondary education to cluster near some midpoint of enroll ment," he said. The recently completed en rollment studies were bas'd on the 1960-61 school year. Faculty May Study Al Center in Egypt Portland - Faculty mem bers from Oregon's colleges and universities may soon be studying at the American Re search center in Cairo, Egypt, under Public Law 400. The center was recently given formal recognition s an American cultural institu tion by the United Arab Re public. Beginning this year, some two and a half million dollars in research grants will be available for study in the Middle Fast. Portland Stale college is among seven institutions re cently named trustees for t'ic five-year program. Dr. Fred- crick Cox, director of PSC's Middle East Studies center was elected a trustee along with representatives from the Oriental institute of Chicago, Brown. Harvard, Michigan and Princeton universities and the Boston Museum of Fine Alls. The program would allow Western scholars, who have an Interest in the Middle East, to pursue worthwhile re search projects abroad for a period of a year, Dr. Cox said. Visiting faculty would be brought to the U.S. and students working on ad vanced degrees would also In eligible, he said. Dr. Cox pointed out that competition for research grants is open to all svholars in the social science and humanities disciplines. A to tal of 20 scholars will go the first year with three fellow ships to be awarded, he said. Goldwater Claimed Eyeing Second Spot; Portland -UTI'- A Republi can Congressman said Satur day that Sen.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFCRD, OREGON Not Much Color Choice, But Butternut Clothes Wore Well It was a relatively simple process and the necessary in gredients were easily secured. All the pioneer housewife needed to know was what to use to yield the most satis factory results. For the purpose, nothing else available colored fabrics so nicely and so thoroughly as the Juice derived from the husks of the butternut tree. Husks from black walnuts were also good; both yielded a dye which colored fabric a yellowish-brown. Some of that early fabric was homespun cloth, made right in the old log cabin. It was a coarse material, but it wore like iron, which at the time was a most important consideration. After the homespun was made it was probably bleach ed with lye made from wood ashes - and dried. Then it had to be colored. There was no dye on the market, so the housewife had to im provise. She found out that the forest yielded plenty of butternuts, and the husks were rich in dye. All Brownish Of course, there was little choice as to color. It was all brownish. The husks were soaked in water, the fabric dumped in and stirred and boiled in an iron kettle. The coat, pants or shirt became a yellowish brown, called "butternut brown." So nat- Navajos Denied Hearing on Use Of Peyote Drug Washington - 0JPII - The Supreme Court has refused to question Interior Secretary Stewart L. Udall s approval of a Navajo tribal ordinance banning use of the herbal drug peyote in religious rites. The court denied a hearing to eight Navajo Indians, all members of the Native Amer ican church, who contended the secretary had violated constitutional guarantees of religious freedom in approv ing the ordinance. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had upheld the secretary in earlier rulings. Part of Ritual The Indians contended that peyote, a vision-inducing cac tus bud, was an indispensable part of the prayer and ritual of their 33,000 - member church. They said banning its use was an unconstitutional violation of their rights. The Navajos contended fur ther that Udall, in approving the Navajo Tribal Council's action in banning use of pey ote, had taken federal action prohibited by the constitu tion. Government attorneys said the Indians should have taken action against the tribal coun cil rather than the secretary, who merely approved the or dinance as required by law. They said the Interior De partment did not intend to enforce the ordinance and noted that Udall had taken no position as to the harm fulness of peyote. Prohibited by Statutes The government also noted that Arizona, California, Col orado and Montana have stat utes prohibiting the use or possession of peyote. The Association of Ameri can Indian Affairs, entering the case as a "friend of the i court," asked that the Su ! prcme Court review the case j to help clear up the extent , to which Indians are subject to "arbitrary or discrimina tory tribal action." The association contended that if general Acts of Con gress apply to Indians on their reservations, it "cannot logically be said that the Con stitution nonetheless docs FOUR CHILDREN DIE Tacoma il'PI Four chil dren were killed in a fire which swept through their three-story home here rarly Sunday. HE RE-GREW HAIR Before After FREE HAIR CLINIC Set Peg 2A Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. W ATKINS (Register end Tribune Syndicate, 1963) urally, the garment was call ed butternut pants or shirt. The color was not too "fast;" it tended to fade. Ev ery washing reduced the amount of color. The garment become progressively lighter and lighter until it was a light tan. Perhaps it was a good idea the pioneer didn't bother to wash his shirt very often. He couldn't afford to because the amount of dye was somewhat limited, and the time it took to dye clothes could better be spent in split ting rails or baking bread. In most sections of pioneer America there were ample numbers of walnut and but ternut trees. That was before the saw and the axe felled most of America's forests. The butternut, a member of the walnut family of trees, is a little more hardy than the black walnut, and the nut - or more properly the fruit -is of a very different and dis tinctive taste. Someone said once that the flavor of the butternut is one that just couldn't be improved. Oblong Shape Unlike the walnut, the but ternut is oblong or elongated, very hairy and quite sticky. The nut itself is oily. About eight species are found in the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Many years after the pi oneer used the husks of the butternut as a source of dye, someone found that the bark of the butternut tree is val uable in leather tanning. Someone else, more con scious of the food value of the butternut as well as all the other nut trees of Ameri ca, figured out that an acre of nut trees produces food units equal to 3,500 quarts of milk, or a ton and a quarter of beef. That's a lot of food value; sort of shameful that we have destroyed so many of these trees just to derive a few quick dollars. Probably we feel we justify the destruction because no modern man would be caught dead in a pair of pants or a shirt dyed yellowish brown called a "butternut shirt." SKINNER Two Words Heard Before Crash of Plane Puzzling Miami - HIPU - Investigators pondered today the meaning of the words "humber two" hcard just seconds before radio contact was lost with the Northwest Orient airliner that crashed in the Everglades last Tuesday, killing all 43 persons aboard. The words "number two'' were reveled in the transcript of the conversation between the Miami air traffic control center and the doomed Chic ago-bound jet. The last words from Flight 705, according to the trans' cript were: "We're just out of seventeen five (17,500 feet) and standing by on the DME (distance measuring equip ment) one." This was at 1:48 p.m. Then the center received a call from an unknown source. The first portion of the trans mission was garbled. Dinlinguishable Words Then came two distinguish able words: "Number two." Several jet pilots here said the words could have only re ferred to the plane's left in board engine. Investigators were trying today to find out if the transmission meant the engine had been lost, or had exploded. The transcript also revealed that the huge, S6 million jet was flying throuch "moderate to heavy" turbulancc just be fore it fell apart and crashed in a remote area of the Ever glades 45 miles from Miami. Civil Aeronautics Board investigators at the scene de cided during the week end to reconstruct the wreckage in the. Everglades rather than take on the formidable task of moving it nine miles to the nearest road and then to Miami.
