Is so, this is Another important tax benefit the time of year that you have the edge on your rent-paying friends since many expenses in volved in home ownership can be deducted in computing income taxes. Because details often slip from memory and since proof will be needed if the return is challenged, now is a good time to start a file of canceled checks and other nec essary papers for next year. For most home owners, the big gest deduction will be the amount of interest paid on the' mortgage during lstr.7. Other major allow able items are property taxes and casualty losses. Naturally, ordinary costs of run' ning and maintaining the household are not deductible, ho don t claim redecoration items, light bills, In surance and other personal expenses. Home purchasers in the early stages of a mortgage will find it that may accrue to the home own er is the capital gains allowance on home sale and purchase. If a home purchased in 1940 for $10,000 is sold for $15,000, the $5,000 "profit" is not taxable pro vided that the full $15,000 sales price is applied to the purchase of another home within one year. If another home is acquired for $14, ooo. taxes must be paid on $1,000. As an alternative, you can start construction ot a home within a year and occupy it within 18 months after the sale of your old home. If the new home costs as much as you received for your old one (with allowances for selling and "fixing up" expenses), you are not taxed on the gain. If your new home costs less, the gain is tax able to the extent o( the difference.

The five were seized yesterday after an intensive search by police since Feb. 4. when Carol Foss, a Girl Scout,- was attacked near her home. Police said the five admitted i orally that they seized the girl, clad in a scout uniiorm, ana draeszed her down a stairwell, where they beat and assaulted her. Previously police saia it naa not been determined whether the girl had been raped. The Foss girl identified the five in a police lineup as her assail ants, and in so doing cleared three other Negro youths she previously implicated. - The five, held for further ques tioning, were identified as Ronald Valentine, 18. James Clay. 18, Bennie Walker, 13. Ronald Clark, 13, and Cleo Parker, 13. Police said Clay was named by his com panions as the one who had sug gested they "go out and get a girl." A gang of boys dragged Carol down a basement stairwell, ripped off her scout uniform, beat her with their fists and gouged her, anDarentlv with a broken bottle. She was hospitalized for several days.

Single Leader Plan Vetoed WASHINGTON (An Secretary of Defense McElroy apparently doesn't regard the idea of a sin gle military chief of staff as the solution to the nation's defense problems. "That idea was not pressed on me by my consultants," McElroy said yesterday on his return from a long weekend conference in Puerto Rico with senior military and civilian advisers on various proposals. Without elaborating, tne ae- fense chief said much of. the dis- NEW YORK MV-The Rev. Dr, John Ellis Large, a Protestant will be keeping his "nimble, daring and gallant little car after all. Until he heard from City Hall yesterday, the rector of the Church of the. Heavenly Rest had thought his offer to give his Re nault Dauphine to the city for Ma yor Robert F. Wagner s use had been accepted. Wagner had appealed to Amer ican car manufacturers to build smaller cars as a means of less ening traffic congrestion. Dr. Large noted with interest that the mayor continued to ride in an offi cial Cadillac limousine, more than 19 feet long. Dr. Large wrote the mayor.. of fering his petite French car. The clergyman also wrote a col umn for the back of his church s program, saying: "If the mayor chooses to lumber about the streets of this car-saturated city in an elephantine land cruiser, that's his business. But despite the crocodile tears and the piteous hand wringing, he thereby estab lishes himself as a member in good standing of that popular school whose motto is Don t do as 1 do; just do as I say.' Two weeks ago. Dr. Large heard from City Hall. Stanley H, Lowell, an assistant to the mayor, accepted the car. Dr. Large replied, proposing i mortgage, interest payments ex- ceea the amount of the principal every month. Then, as the home owner builds up his equity over the years, the amount of his in come tax savings from interest dwindles accordingly. On a $16,000 mortgage financed at 5 per cent for 30 years, the an nual interest during the first few years will average $800. Some banks itemize each pay ment to show amount of interest, principal, taxes or other charges. If the amount of interest is not itemized, ask the bank for a state ment showing it. Don t forget to include any inter est paid on home repair loans or (renters, take note, too) on furni ture and home appliances pur chased on credit. When you claim property taxes, be sure to list only the taxes. Many municipalities include in the lax bill special fees for non-deductible expenses such as sewerage and street pavement. In a casualty loss, the allowable deduction is the difference be tween the damage and the insur ance reimbursement. A casualty is any loss to personal property as a result of fire, storm, flood, earth- Page 2 of form 1040, along with other allowable outlays like char ity donations and medical expenses. If you use a portion of your home for business purposes, you may be entitled to additional de ductions, such as depreciation and a portion of the operating costs, as business expenses. Consultation with your public ac countant will provide further speci fic information relative to tax problems arixing from your home transactions.

He had spent the past three days conferring in Par- lis and London. It appeared that so far he was only filling in the WASHINGTON W-A backstagcl row broke into the open today over legislation designed to curb se crecy in government. Hep. Mcader (R-Miclil said he will attempt to change the bill at a closed meeting of the House Government Operations Commit tee, tentatively scheduled for Thursday. He said his wording would make the measure's mean ing clearer. Hep. Moss ID-Calif), the bill's author, shot back that Mcadcr's two-word amendment would "completely destroy" the aim of Uic bill. The Moss measure would amend a 169-year-old law giving federal department heads author ity to make regulations for "cus tody, use and preservation" of records to say it "does not au thorize withholding information from the public." Mcader said lie wants to amend that to say withholding informa tion is neither authorized nor pro hibited. The Moss bill, opposed by all 10 federal departments, was una nimously cleared by the threo man Government Information mittee met in secret session last week. However, Meadcr said commit tee action was postponed for a week when a question was raised whether the bill actually might be interpreted as requiring the de partments to open up the files. Since then, Meader said, mis information has been circulated that all four committeemen from Michigan Representatives Hoff man Hi), Knox (R, Griffith (D) and Meader are against the bill. Meadcr said the truth is that he is very much in favor o! the objective of the bill" and has heard no opposition to its pur pose. He said he believes no commit tee member wants to lay bare secrets like .missile blueprints at Huntsville, Ala., while all wish to prevent the 1789 law from wrong ful use as a secrecy shield. He said his two-word amendment would clearly declare Congress' intent. "I reject any such language," Moss said. He called Meader's ref erence to the Huntsville missiles center "an absolute and uncon scionable distortion" of the bill's subcommittee headed by Moss.
