MAKING OUT WITH EXPENSE ACCOUNT RULES 1
(This is the first in a series of nine articles.)
The tightening up of expense account rules for 1963 and
on has caused more uncertainly, confusion, complaints, criti
cism of the Treasury and general unpleasantness than any
other tax law change in the last ten years.
Let's cut through this whole mess at the start with one
question and one answer.
Question: After all the emotional outbursts and popping
off, what do the stricter rules mean to the countless hun
dreds of thousands of salesmen, businessmen and profession
als who must work with an expense account in order to earn
their livelihood?
Answer: Surprising as it may seem, the vast majority of
us will be able to deduct about as much as we ever did, be
fore the new rules, if we keep reasonably good records, and
at times possibly deduct even more.
For instance, there are tighter rules on deducting enter
tainment expenses, but in this series I'll show you how all
of the rules make it reasonably simple to qualify for deduc
tion.
You'll see how treating your business associates to
lunch or dinner or cocktails is almost sure to qualiiy at
deductible.
You'll learn that the travel cost of your combined
business-pleasure trip will very likely be deductible in
full, as before, despite new rules which seem to prevent
this.
You'll find that Internal Revenue Service Commissioner
Caplin is sympathetic to deductions on the cost of entertain
ing wives who accompany their husbands to entertainment
which is deductible for the husbands, as I will explain later
Exceedingly important is timing. Your expense account
outlays from Aug. 1, 1963 on must meet all the new rules I
will explain. But the Treasury realizes that most of us have
had nothing -really firm to guide us until this date. So it
has instructed revenue agents to resolve in your favor any
reasonable doubts about whether amounts you spent between
January 1 and July 31 are deductible under the new expense
account rules.
Let me ease your minds about another worry. Many of
you are wondering whether the Treasury's new rule against
deducting "lavish and extravagant ' entertainment means
that there is now some dollar limit on how much you can
spend for a restaurant meal or night club entertainment.
Here's your answer there is no such dollar limit.
Even more significant than the absence of a dollar limit
is the Treasury's willingness to accept as a reasonable deduc
tion the tab you have to pay at a first class restaurant or
a top-notch night club if that's what your business situation
reasonably calls for. Thus means that a $15 or $20 meal in
a quality restaurant shouldn't be barred as lavish or extrava
gant if a prominent business or professional man entertains
an important customer or client.
Here is more good news. There are many expense ac
count deductions which will continue to be deductible
precisely as they have been in the past. Among the deduc
tions not affected at all by the new rules are:
Supper money furnished by an employer to an employee
working overtime.
Christmas parties, annual picnics, summer outings, and
other recreational, social or similar activities primarily for
employees (but you can't discriminate in favor of highly paid
employees and employees who are officers, or stockholders
and others who own 10 per cent or more of the business).
: Business meetings of employees, stockholders, agents or
directors primarily to discuss business.
Entertainment in a clear business setting such as a hos-
Ditalitv room at a convention: entertaining business and
civic leaders at the opening of a new hotel or theatrical
productions, etc.
The key to the deductions lies, as staled above, in keep
ing satisfactory records. Laler in this series you'll find
out exactly what kind of records will do the trick.
Next: Quiet Meals.

Worrisome Pain in Breast

when the primary disease is a
cystic mastitis. In this condi
tion, the breast feels as if it
were full of buckshot because
it is full of little cysts or glo
bules of fluid. These repre

Commonly, a woman with
cystic mastitis has some pain
her breasts, perhaps, more
or less all the time for years.
When a woman has pain it is
natural for her to be uneasy,
for fear she has cancer. Ac

commonly grow so silently
without producing any pain,
that when I hear of pain I sus
pect mastitis rather than can
cer. Through the years, I have
seen a few women with such
a rapidly growing and malig
nant type of cancer in one
breast that even before they
came to me, they already had
cancer in the other breast.
But such cases are rare, and
usually I could recognize the
situation the minute I exam-
ed the woman. Such a breast
looks as if it were inflamed,
swollen and perhaps reddish
in color.
Safest Thing
Occasionally, perhaps years
after having had one breast
removed for cancer, a woman
will return with a nodule in
the remaining breast. In most
such cases, the wise surgeon
promptly removes the breast.
It is the safest thing to do,
and often if puts an end to the
woman's worry.
Because in recent years I
have seen so many women
who were miserable both
mentally and physically be
cause of a cystic mastitis, 1
have sometimes asked a sur
geon to perform what I think
is an ideal operation. He cuts
through the crease under
each breast; he lifts the breast
up and scoops out all the
breast tissue, leaving the
skin, the fat under it, and the
nipple.
In all the cases in which I
have had this done, the wom
an has been very grateful be
cause she has not only lost
her worry, and she doesn't
have to go back into the hos
pital every few months to
have a suspicious nodule cut.
An Anti-Virus Drug
One of the most hopeful
statements I have read in a
long time is that a drug has
now been found which will
combat a virus, and a very im
portant virus, the so -called
Herpes simplex virus which
can attack the cornea (clear
window in the front of the
eye), and can thereby produce
blindness. Herpes simplex of
the skin of the chest wall
makes shingles.
I read that already, the new
drug has healed the ulceration
or improved the condition of
91 8 per cent of the 3,200 pa
tients studied with an ulcer
on their cornea.
The drug will soon be avail
able throughout the United
States on a prescription basis.
The discovery was made by
Dr. H. E. Kaufman, of the
University of Florida College
of Medicine.
Now that one virus has
conquered, hope arises that
others will also be brought
under control.
June Allyson
Delays Wedding
Hollywood - (UPD - Actress
June Allyson announced and
canceled marriage plans with
in 12 hours this week end, but
later indicated she still plans
to marry as soon as legal mat
ters are straightened out.
Miss Allyson, 39, widow of
Dick Powell, said she had
planned to marry Glenn Max
well, 35, a Newport Beach,
Calif., barbeshop owner, in
Las Vegas in a ceremony at
tended by her daughter, Pam,
i ana son, Ricky, 13.
The blonde actress told
United Press International
Saturday that "Glenn and I
had planned to be married to
day but we've called it off.
Probably indefinitely."
Miss Allyson wept for a
few moments and added. "I
would like to announce some
happiness but sometimes It
seems I never will."
Bui laler she said she and
her attorney, Bill Crukshank
discussed the impending mar
riage. She said her funds "are
naturally tied up in the estate
oi my late husband Dick Pow
ell, who died of cancer last
Jan. 2.
"Bill tells me that if I
marry right now, I will lose
my widow's allowance from
the estate . . .it would be silly
not to postpone it for a while
due to these legal complica
tions," she said.
The attorney said, "We will
get these matter straighten
ed out as soon as we can and
then she can go ahead with
her plans."
Senate Tackles
Military Pay
Washington - (UPI) - Senate
action was expected to be
completed this week on a mil
itary pay raise bill as the full
Senate Armed Service Com
mittee worked on it today.
Chairman Howard W. Can
non (D-Ncv.) of the subcom
mittee which drafted the bill
to give pay increases to al
most everyone in the mili
tary service and those retired
or in the reserve, said the
measure could go before the
Senate Tuesday.
The House already has pass
ed its version of the bill. It
reduced President Kennedy's
SI. 2 billion original request
by S15 million and excluded
enlisted men in their first two
years of duly from the pro
posed benefits.
Cannon's committee adjust
ed pay-scales approved by the
House to weigh the increases
in middle pay echelons for
officers and enlisted men. It's
purpose was to induce those
men to slay in the service
when many have been leav
ing for civilian life.
If the differences in the two
bills can be adjusted in a
House-Senate conference com
mittee this week. President
Kennedy's approval could
make the piy raises effective
early next month.
