you must not delay in arranging your expense account
records so that you avoid trouble when you tile your iuhj
return in 1964. 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.

$2 Billion Bill
For Education Due
Within 10 Years
New York -(UPD- One of the
more staggering things that
might lie ahead of the Amcrr
can public within the next 10
years or less is a suggested
bill for $2 billion.
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.

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.

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

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."

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.

of moving it nine miles to the
