David U. - My mother snaps
my radio off when I'm study
ing. Mrs. D. U. - How can he
concentrate during all that
racket?
David U. - I have an old
beat-up radio in my room and
there won't be much left of it
the way my mother treats it.
I like to keep it going while
I do my homework but she
insists that no one can do any
thinking with the radio oh.
Mrs. D. U. - Dave failed
algebra and he's taking a
make-up course in summer
school. It's all right to let the
radio go while he's dressing
or fixing up his room, but to
have it blaring away while
he works on . algebra prob
lems makes no sense at all.
The Council: It's jumping to
conclusions that makes Mrs.
U. jump to the off-switch. But
how about waiting until the
returns are in - that is, wait
ing for Dave's report card?
True, it will constitute a cost
ly experiment, consuming one
whole summer of a teen-ager's
life, possibly to no avail so
far as algebra goes. On the
other hand, there's every
chance that Dave will do sur

value of background music. It

WIVES - VII
This is the seventh in series of nine articles
Entertaining your business associates is often a social
get-together requiring you to bring your wife because, your
business associates are bringing their wives. Let's assume
it's obvious that you can deduct the costs of entertaining
your associates and yourself. Does that also entitle you to
deduct what you pay ior their wives and your wife?
At first, Commissioner of Internal Revenue Caplin indi
cated that the Treasury would give a blanket ."yes" answer
to this question. , While the final Treasury rules don't go
that far, they do make clear that in at least one very com
mon situation, the cost of entertaining wives will definitely
be deductable.
First, here are the general ground rules. The Treasury
said that if the cost of entertaining the wives would have
been deductible as an ordinary and necessary expense under
the law, the deduction will not be barred by the new rules
for deducting entertainment expenses.
The trouble with this simple-sounding rule was that
there were no published Treasury rulings or court cases
which explained when the cost of entertaining wives
would be considered ordinary and necessary under the
old law. Happily for most businessmen, the Treasury
finally came out with at least one example showing
when it would allow a businessman to deduct the cost
of entertaining both his customer's wife and his own
- wife, as ordinary and necessary business expenses.
- This is so important to so many hundreds of thousand
of U. S. taxpayer that I am submitting the exact wording
of official Treasury Question and Answer 27 and 28.
"27. Question: If a taxpayer entertains a business cus
tomer under circumstances where the cost of entertaining
the customer is an ordinary and necessary business expense
and is not disallowed under the new rules, and the customer's
wife joins the taxpayer and the customer during the enter
tainment because it is impractical under the circumstances
to entertain the customer without his wife, is the cost of
entertaining the customer's wife deductible as an ordinary
and necessary business expense?
Answer: Yes. Such a case might arise, for example, If
the customer was from out of town and had his wife travel
ing with him.
"28. Question: Assuming the same facts as in the pre
ceding question and answer, but, in addition the taxpayer's
wife Joins them during the entertainment because the cus
tomer's wife was present, would the cost of entertainment
allocable to the taxpayer's wife be considered an ordinary
and necessary expense?
"Answer: Yes.
While the news is yood for those of you who will
. deduct entertainment expenses of wives when your cus
tomer comes to town, it isn't good ior the businessman
who wants to deduct his own wife's travel expenses when,
he takes her along on his business trip. The business
traveler can't deduct his wife's travel costs unless she's
needed on the trip for a real business purpose.. And
the Treasury will probably be quite tough in deciding
whether she's really needed for business. For instance,
going along with her husband in order to help entertain
his business associates will generally not entitle her
husband to deduct her travel expenses, says the Treas
ury. This leaves an important question hanging in the air.
What happens when they get to their destination and the
husband takes his wife along to entertain his business asso
ciates there and their wives? Will the Treasury let him
deduct the wives' entertainment expenses, after barring
his wife's travel expenses?
Your guess on the answer
mine.

also to hear that often when
the difficulty comes, the per
son has been struggling with
some anxiety, worry, fatigue,
or nervous strain. For in
stance; one of my patients
a woman who used to speak
before women's clubs, raising
money-whenever she had to
"put on a campaign" was like
ly to have a flare-up of her
"esophago-spasm."
With the X-rays I could
see that when she was anx
ious, her whole gullet would
go into spasm, and then take
on the appearance of a long
corkscrew. In many cases we
physicians find that the
spasm is at the cardia or up
per opening of the stomach
where the gullet joins it.
In a few cases the difficulty
is due to a little diverticulum
(pouch) on the side of the gul
let, usually up near the base
of the neck, when this pouch
I fills with food, it presses on
the gullet and causes some ob
struction. Rarely there is an
ulcer or a cancer of the gul
let, and more rarely after an
unfortunate operation for a
little hernia of the midriff
(hiatus hernia), there will be a
constriction of the lower end
of the gullet.
Cancer of Cardia
In older people there can
be a cancer of the cardia or
of the upper end of the stom-ach-a
cancer which obstructs
the cardia. Unfortunately, in
many cases, such a cancer is
found so late that it cannot be
removed by a surgeon. In
cases of doubt as to the na
ture of the obstruction, it
helps to have an expert look
into the gullet with a lighted
tube.
In the cases of both cardio
spasm and obstruction due to
cancer, an expert can dilate
the narrow place with the
help of a long rubber bag
which, after insertion, is
blown up with tap water un
der pressure. Sometimes one
such dilation of a cardio
spasm will give relief, but
in many cases several dila
tions are needed. In the cases
of cancer, dilation have to
be repeated from time to time.
They can give the patient
much relief for some weeks
or months, and they can keep
W.-n from dying of starvation.
A Modest Texan

During Vacation Visit To
By DICK WEST
Washington - OIPI) - The
civic pride of a Texan is one
of nature's strongest forces,
ranking just
behind the
pull of gravi
ty and just
ahead of the
capillary at
traction of a
tuberous be
gonia. His tal
ent is such
that a Texan
west can find
something affirmative to say
about the place where he
lives, even when the odds
overwhelmingly favor the
negative.
The untrained eye, for in
stance, might not notice any
thing superlative about Mer-
kel, Texas, which is my old
home town. Yet, the citizenry
there has never been without
a claim of distinction.
At one point they used to
boast that Merkel was the
only town in the world where
the population was the same
as the elevation. At that time
it had 1,872 residents living
1,872 feet above sea level. '
Unfortunately, however,
the population increased
slightly in the next census.
Either that or the eleva
tion sank a few feet. I
I forget which. At any rate
ihe two figures no longer
matched.
The change was a catastro
phe, civic pride wise, and I

would be able to recover. So
when I visited in Merkel dur
ing a recent vacation, I asked
my father whether there was
anything left to brag about.
"Why, certainly," my fa
ther said. "This town is now
the home of Cassius Lipbut

Texan."
"A modest Texan!" I ex
claimed. "You must by pull

I began the interview by
commenting on the size of his
swimming pool, which was
the largest one I had ever
seen.
"There's a bigger one

tested, blushing furiuosly.
"It's called the Gulf of Mex

"Are those your airplanes?"
I asked, pointing to an air
drome behind the pool.
"Just a few jet transports,"
Llpbutton said shyly.
"Shucks, American Airlines

"What about your ranch?"
I asked. "Isn't it pretty big?"
