Property
Return Asked
YREKA C. 0. and Sarah Mcs-
serall of Montague are plaintiffs
in a suit filed December 30 in the
Siskiyou County Superior Court
against Adricn Rubin, defendant in
a judgment voiding a large prop
erty trade between the two par-
tics.
Mcsserall brought the suit against
Rubin seeking to annul an agree
ment of October 15, 1957, for sale
and exchange of properties owned
by the Mcsscralls in Ventura Coun
ty for ranching property in Sis
kiyou County, owned by Rubin
Through the judgment, the Mcs
scralls will be restored their Ven
tura property valued at more than
$150,000, which includes buildings
and property on seven lots in the
town of Santicoy, in return for
the properly owned by Rubin
which involves several items of
farming equipment.
The judgment also restricts Rubin
from selling or encumbering the
property in Ventura County and
has been ordered to restore it free
and clear of a deed of trust given
by him to Ramona Savings and
Loan Company for $15,000 on the
property. He is further required
to repay $10,473.38, plus interest
from October 7, 1959 to the Mcs
scralls in addition to $500 per
month interest, until the Ventura
property is restored.
A first lien on the ranch property
in Siskiyou County was given to
the plaintiffs, as security on the
defendant's obligations, according
to the court judgment filed in the
county courthouse at Yreka. In ad
dition, Rubin must pay all court
costs.
CAR AND HOME DEDUCTIONS
Your home and car may be the
source of deductions that will low
er your federal income tax. It is
important to check all possible de
ductions because of the savings in
volved. If you are in the lowest
tax bracket 20 per cent each $5
you can lind in deductions will
mean a dollar in your pocket. For
persons of higher income the pos
sible savings are even greater.
The interest on a mortgage is
deductible on your federal tax re
turn. In most cases, payments to
a bank include both interest and
principal; as the mortgage is re
duced the interest is less, and a
larger portion is applied to the
principal. Only the amount you
ay as interest is deductible in
the case of your residence.
Sometimes the monthly payment
also includes an additional amount
which the bank holds for the pay
ment of taxes, insurance, and so
on. In this case the bank is act
ing as your agent hi paying tax
on your property. Real estate tax-
paid for you by the bank are
deductible as if you had paid them
directly. The important point here
is that you can only deduct the
amount paid by the bank. For ex
ample, you may give the bank
$360 over the year toward .the pay
ment of taxes, but the tax bill may
only come to $341. In this situa
tion you can only deduct $341.
From the time you buy an auto
mobile, you begin to have other
expenses which are deductible on
your federal income lax return,
Any state or local sales tax you
paid on the car purchase is de
ductible. So are the cost of your
license plates and interest on an
auto loan.
A common deduction in many
taxpayers' returns is for state gas
oline tax. It is best to keep a
record of your gasoline purchases
during the year, but if you don't
have such a record you can still
make a reasonable estimate. For
example, you may divide the aver
age number of miles your car runs
on a gallon of gasoline into the
total miles you have put on the
car over the year. This will give
you an estimate of the number of
gallons consumed. Multiply this
by the tax per gallon, and you
have a reasonable estimate of the
amount yoi can deduct.
If you had a collision, you may
be able to deduct the damage to.
your own car not covered by in
surance. Although your drivine
may nave been laulty, you are en
titled to the deduction if the acci
dent was not due to your willful
negligence.
Such a loss is determined bv
suotraciing tne value of the car
after the accident from the value
before the accident.
To determine whether or not you
contribute more than half of the
support for a dependent (one of
the tests for claiming an exemp
tion for a dependent), you must
cunsider the value of the roof over
the dependent's head. For exam
pie, if you provide a room in your
house for your mother-in-law, you
can consider the rental value of
the room as part of your support
communion. This is the amount
you could get for the room
your mother-in-law is said to be
contributing $2,000 to her own sup
port lor tne year, lo list your
mother-in-law as a dependent, you
must have contributed more than
$2,000 to her support.
The instruction booklet you re
ceive witn your tax torm gives
further inlormation on federal in
come tax filing. Help is also avail
able by telephoning or by visiting
tho offices of the Internal Revenue
Service.

Diver's Death
To Remain
Mystery
EPHRATA, Wash. (AP) A
giant of a man and one of the
best known and most respected"
commercial divers on the Colum
bia River died in its swirling
waters Friday at the Priest
Rapids Dam site, some 50 miles
south of here.
Just how Clarence Shaw, 52,
Pasco, Wash., met his death may
be "a mystery the river will hold
forever," Grant County Coroner
Ralph Osborn said today.
Osborn said the 30-year veteran
of diving was pulled from the
water on the downstream face of
the dam under construction, his
diving helmet dangling from a
strap which held it to a deep sea
diving suit he was wearing.
"He drowned," said Osborn,
"but just how that helmet came
off is a mystery to me as well
as a number of professional divers
and people in the business who
have seen it. It wasn't damaged.
They say there was nothing wrong
with it. It shouldn't have come
off.
"He may have run into a swift
eddy which spun him around and
slammed him into the face of the
dam," said Osborn, "the hit com
ing in just the right place to
knock off his helmet."
Shaw had been working at the
30-foot level of the Grant County
Public Utility District dam. There
was swift,, turbulent water where
he was taking wedges from a wa
ter outlet channel for one of the
dam's generators.
He had been down about an hour
when he started to surface. His
crew told Osborn that Shaw's hel
met popped out of the water, then
suddenly he started back down,
apparently stumbling off the plat
form on which he worked.
The veteran diver didn't use a
safety line attached to his suit
as most divers do, his crew said
Instead a rope was thrown into
the water with a piece of railroad
tracK attacned. snaw worked up
and down the rope on the plat
form, giving instructions to his
crew to raise or lower the plat
form by means of a two-way tele
phone.
The crew didn't have the safety-
line to pull up the massive Shaw,
obviously in trouble, said Osborn,
and they didn't dare pull on the
air hose, for fear of ripping it
off the helmet and cutting the sup
ply of air to the diver.
The crew feared Shaw had suf
fered some kind of an attack and
was hanging helplessly with but
the rubber air hose and the tele
phone wire keeping him from
plunging to the river bottom..
A call went out for two skin-
divers from nearby Moses Lake
and some two hours later, James
H. Ling, Jr. and Gene HcUcnberg,
found Shaw's body in the black
water, his helmet whipping back
and forth uselessly in the current.
They secured a heavy line
around the body and it was pulled

1959 Report
Issued
By Red Cross
WASHINGTON, D.C. The
American Red Cross today said
39 cents of every dollar you gave
it last year went to help service
men and women, veterans, and
their families.
The organization's annual report
for the 12 months ending last June
30 states that the American people,
through their Red Cross and its
nearly 3,700 chapters across the
ountry, spent $86,456,167 in pro
viding the health, welfare and
safety services which contribute di
rectly to the well-being of every
American family.
Other portions of the Red Cross
dollar, the report added, were used
as follows:
fiueen cents to collect, process
and distribute the whole blood and
blood products needed by accident
victims and surgery patients.
Eight cents to provide disaster
relief.
Eight cents to teach health, safe
ty and nursing courses.
Four cents to help young people
become better citizens by joining
in Red Cross activities in schools
and colleges.
the remainder was spent as
follows: six cents on services and
assistance to chapters, one for com
munity services, four on member
ship enrollment and fund raising
two for public information, and 13
for administration and planning in
the national organization and its
chapters.
Chairman E. Roland Harriman
and Red Cross President Alfred
M. Gruenther, in forwards to the
report, paid tribute to the 44,700,-
000 contributing members who gave
of their hearts and their funds to
help make these "good things hap
pen" last year: '
Each month, an average of 87,-
000 servicemen and their depend
ents and 34,700 veterans and their
families were helped in chapters,
and 79,500 servicemen were as
sisted at military hospitals and
stations.
The 54 Red Cross regional blood
centers, which serve 3,900 hospi
tals, collected, processed and dis
tributed a total of 2,367,500 pints
of blood. No charge is ever made

The report lauded the two mil
lion volunteer workers whose parti
cipation in all phases of Red Cross
activities "is evidence of- the na
tion's belief that the common wel
fare can best be served through
voluntary action Obviously,
the value of their participation if
measured in dollars would reach
astronomical proportions." .
The report points out that Red
Cross volunteer workers outnumber
the 13,400 career employes by a
ratio of 149 to one.
brother could attend a Washington
school. The afternoon included fre
quent trips between The Office and
Vcrn's Travern, wilh a few other
bars visited in between.
Early that afternoon he had met
26-year-old Joseph Martinez and
had been warned to stop seeing
Martinez' estranged wife, Patty
Gibbons Martinez. Martinez was
thrown out of the bar after three
warnings from the bartender,, he;
said.
Lugo said he suspected Martinez
was carrying- a unne. to, lllus.
(rate his suspicions, he stood be
fore the jury, ran one hand down
his trouser leg, and said, "Ilis
(Martinez') pants were tight
enough that I saw what I though
was the outline of a knife."
He said Martinez spoke in low
tones. I couldn t near what he
said," he testified, "but I
thought he said, 'I'll get you.' "
FROM THE OFFICE he went to
Scott Loan Company on Klamath
Avenue and bought a .22 caliber
semi-automatic pistol. Then more
drinks in more bars before he (i-
nally saw Martinez at the corner
of Seventh and Main streets. Mar
tinez motioned him to come over.
"Why did you go over?" Stearns
questioned.
'I was hoping Martinez had
called me over to tell me to for
get about the threat he had made
that afternoon," Lugo answered.
He joined Martinez with two oth
er persons in Vei n s Tavern.
Martinez asked me if I was
ready," he testified. "I said, 'I
guess so.' We went into the alley,
When we got back of the Broiler,
Martinez said, 'This is far
enough.'
"Martinez swung in front of me.
His right hand was in his pocket.
No words were spoken at all. He
lunged at me. I pulled out the pis
tol and fired."
He said the pistol was in his
belt, and he had pulled it in a
matter of seconds after Martinez
had lunged toward him.
It was then he said he was
frightened, and feared Martinez,
"Prior to this time," Stearns
asked, "did you feel any grudge
against Mr. Martinez?" -4 .
"No," the defendant said.
THE FRIDAY SESSION did not
begin until afternoon. At one time
Stearns and Beddoe, familiar trial
adversaries, accused each other of
improper tactics, Once, Beddoe
charged, "Counsel is testifying.
He's reiterating. The witness is
perfectly capable of testifying for
himself."
Stearns objected to the remarks
"on the part of the prosecuting
attorney," and told the court "I'm
not here to engage in a brawl
with the district attorney."
Lugo spoke .quietly but intelli
gibly from the witness stand. His
demeanor remained calm. He was
clothed in a charcoal suit with
white shirt and white tie.
A prior defense witness, called
after the state had entered Lugo's
confession into testimony and had
rested its case, was Lugo's father,
Carlos Lugo, who said there were
14 children in his family.
The trial resumes at 10 a.m,
Monday. Lugo will be on the stand
for continuation of cross examination.

spoken of in the New Testament
of the Bible, means "oil press."
