Both gen erals hinted they thought inter service rivalry as well as mili tary-civilian competition figured in tne NASA proposal.

LOS ANGELES (UPI) Singer Gordon MacRae told a tax court Wednesday how as a top-salaried Hollywood personality he had be come involved in high finance and borrowed one million dollars part ly to salvage some of his earnings from Uncle Sam's income tax bite. The handsome entertainer who said such deals were common among movieland's upper class, appeared in court to oppose a Couple Fetes Anniversary LOUISA, Ky.

Ord, were taken to Lakeview Hospital Mon day afternoon, after a car acci dent a half mile from the summit of Quartz Mountain. Donald Collins, son of Mrs. John Quigley. had Gary Grimes, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Grimes, as his passenger on a hunting trip when Ihe accident occurred. Col lins reportedly told state police that his car apparently went off the road when he fell asleep at the wheel. The youths were taken to Lake- view In the Lake County disaster car. Collins, who had sustained a broken thigh, was taken to Let- ternian Army Hospital, San Fran cisco, Tuesday morning by Army plane. Grimes, whose injuries were only superficial, returned to Klam-j ath Falls Tuesday morning. He I return to Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio. Texas. October 27. where he will attend Medical Corps School. Collins was scheduled, before his accident, to report to Ft. Mon mouth, New Jersey, following his furlough. However, he may be hos pitalized in San Francisco (or six weeks. federal tax claim that he owes $139,938 in unpaid taxes for 1952 and 19o3. As MacRae explained the finan cial deal which the government has branded as "a financial mer ry-go- round in a preconceived plan entered into solely for in come tax purposes," ho did little more than sit back and let the money roll in. Late in 1952, MacRae said, at torney Samuel Norton of Beverly inns askea mm now ne a like to buy one million dollars in U.S Treasury notes. "I said, 'Sure but where do 1 get one million dollars?' " Mac Hae testified. "He said I could borrow the money and I asked him where in the world I could find someone to loan me that much. "He said he had a broker who would do it and assume the risk. He said I might profit by buying the government bonds and, in any event, it would benefit my income tax. "So I told him to go ahead, MacRae said. MacRae, who said he had earned "between $200,000 to $300,- 000" in the years from 1951 to 1953, explained that he and his associates bought five million dol lars in government bonds and se curities since 1952 and that the holdings returned 4 per cent in terest. The money, he said, was bor rowed at 3 per cent interest from Jack Bernstein of New York, head of Gibralter Enterprises Inc., which in turn had borrowed the money at n per cent interest from an undisclosed source. The singer testified ho was able to list the 1 per cent earnings from the holdings as capital gains which he said was taxable at only 25 per cent compared with the 95 per cent in taxes he was pay ing on his personal income. Mark Townsend. chief counsel for Internal Revenue, said the government would attempt to prove that no securities chanced hands in the deal which he charged was nothing more than a "paper deal." The singer's case, one of sev eral hundred to he tried here, was to continue today. On The Record KLAMATH FALLS BIRTHS BOYS CUNNINGHAM Born to Mr. nd Mn. Bill L.

The fund supports all activities of the Michigan Ai'L-CIO. Even so, the end political re sult of this lew on union mem bers should arouse- the envy of Republican campaign fund rais ers, perhaps causing them to wish they could lay a head tax of even a nickel a month on somebody. They cannot do that Neither can the heads ot tne great corporations lay a head tax of even one cent per month on their stockholders, or employes, a device which, if feasible, would raise funds beyond relief to be available for expenditure for pur- Doses of Dolitical education. Ihe Republicans and some 01 the managers of the great cor porations are accusing big labor ot having politically kidnaped tne state of Michigan, bpeciticaiiy, they charge that the kidnaper was Walter P. Reuther. The man in charge of big labor politics in Michigan, however, is August Scholle, president of the Michi gan AFL-C10 Council, bcnoiie nas Reuther's active support, of course, else he could not be so sure of collecting that head tax. In response to questions from United Press International, Scholle said that only about ... ,w i it,. mn nnn the head tax will raise this year could be cited as political expenditures. His phrase was "lor cuu. xpenditures in. field." This sum is spent, Scholle said, mainly for printing circulars al though occasionally the council, i,,, ..nmompnt will oermit a poli tical candidate to have something printed and the council will pay kin This instead of ordering the printing on its own. Scholle estimates that about $10,000 has been spent so far this year to pay bills for printing ordered by candidates. The AFL-CIO Council received about $14,000 this year, according to Scholle, from the international union treasury. This money, he said, was contributed voluntarily hv union members and has been contributed to the campaign funds of the politicians the givers ia-vored. Scholle said everything the AFL CIO council does in the political area is both legally and morally right. He emphasized mat any union member who docs not want any portion of his dues to go for the political purposes decided upon by the council may specify that his portion shall go to any chanty hit or political organization of choice. That, in brief, is the way bis labor raises and spends Its money in the state where its political sue. cesses have Decn tne most re markable. It may be assumed that Big Business could do the same if big business, like big la. bor, had a membership constituen cy which was accustomed to pay ing monthly dues and, moreover, accustomed to having its leaders engage deeply in local and nation al politics. The law apparently would for bid either big business or big la bor to "contribute" to political parties or to political candidates. The law at one time forbade, also, political "expenditures," but the Supreme Court declared that pro hibition to be unconstitutional. The distinction between contri butions and expenditures may seem to a layman to be a bit fuzzv, but it is the law. Do youi window! sweat? STORM WINDOWS Made to Measure FREE ESTIMATES George Clork Court Holds Long Meets Two lengthy meetings, devoted mostly to preliminary discussions, occupied the county court's regu lar Wednesday meeting, Much of the afternoon was spent in comnany with city officials dis- ments on Washburn Way, although the court emphasized the talks were most preliminary. City offi cials present were City Manager G. S. Vergecr, Mayor Lawrence J. Slater and Cliff Sanders, acting city engineer. An earlier session was held with six representatives of the Stewart Lenox and West Mamath additions who are looking for five or 20 acres ot ground for a playground and park. The court also learned that the Bureau of Indian Affairs office in Washington has decided that its Portland area director has author ity to approve permits which would consign rock and cinder pits on the Klamath Indian Reser vation to the county, which soon will take over certain reservation roads.
