2 NEWPORT, R. DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, JAN. 4, 1963 Expense Account Regulations May Cut Country Club Rank WASHINGTON' (AP) Man Americans have raised the standard of living--and drinkin and playing by deducting pc tonal outlays as business penses. But the government changi the rules as of Jan. 1 with a income tax regulation that mands solid substantiation of claims for business entertainmcn gifts and travel.

The spoilsport S7th Congress clarcd, in effect, that the Trea Ury will no longer absorb ba bills, supper club checks, green fees or club dues unless tl spender proves a business-gettin purpose. In translating the law into a 3 page regulation, Commission! Mortimer SI. Caplin of the Inten al Revenue Service has struc City Charter Hearing Set The Charter Study Commissio last night set Jan. 24 as the ten tative date for a public henrin on suggested amendments to th city charter. It is expected tha most of the commission's rec ommended changes will be read by that time.

Last night the question of fillin vacancies, which had been dis cussed at length at the previou meetings, again took up a majo part of the session. Because of th various primary and election re quirements, time elements periods in which the Council coul remain with a vacancy, it ha been difficult to arrive at a prop er wording to make the procedur effective. Other discussions included ques tions 'previously marked for study principally on clarification of th wording in some charter clauses The three months terminal of a city manager, as provided ir the charter, and Council authoritj to issue without referendum $100, 000 in bonds annually, were con sidered, but no change was rec ommended. City Manager Fred E. Weis brod and City Solicitor James O'Brien will be invited to attend next Thursday night's meeting These two officials have con ferred with the commission at pasl meetings and O'Brien has attend ed most of them.

Both Sides Firm In Ship Talks NEW YORK (Api-Negotiators on both sides are miqrted standing firm in their positions in the dock strike on the Atlantic anc Gulf Alexander P. Chopin, chairman of the New York Shipping Association, said "I can't see any reason for optimism at this time." Thomas Gleason, executive vice president of the AFL-CIO International Longshoremen's Association said the union will maintain its wage demands "until doomsday." The statements were made Thursday as negotiations were recessed to today, the 13th day of the strike of 60,000 dock workers which has crippled shipping in ports from Maine to Texas. James Healy, Harvard University professor of industrial relations, started work Thursday as a fact-finder with the approval of both sides. He conferred with industry and union representatives, and will continue his study of welfare and pension issues in the contract Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz returned to the negotiations Thursday as chief mediator.

The union is seeking a package of 50 cents an hour, including 26 cents in wages, spread over two years. The employers have offered 22 cenis an hour in wages over two years. Prestrike basic wages averaged 53.02 an hour. Newport Daily Ncuis KSTABMSHF.D 1840 Published daily except days and certain holiday a hv the Edward A. Sherman lishing 140 Thames Newport.

But Caplin had to hew to th letter of the law, even when created some intriguing problem which still haven't been solved. For instance, Congress sai clearly that family and persona expenses ec'jld not be deducte as business expenses. It didn say how to treat the situations i which business and personal lit overlap.

For instance: A businessman can deduct th cost of taking his secretary on business trip, but gets no deduc lion for his wife unless- there i business reason for her to com Tlie tax status of wives will bt clarified. IRS promises, in fur'hc regulations due nexi month. Non ton soon, it would appear, fo Caplin already has ber-n am in official hearings of fostering "moral decay." The b-isio rules are rlear, how ever--painfiMlv sn. to those lr1 who didn't bankrolls because they had fa e.vrnse accounts. Deductions allowed for or other which directly precedes or follows a suKstnntinl aH bana fid' business discussion.

Everv such outlnv must be peered 'n the tax- Dayp'''s expense diary. If if comes to SB or more, a receipt or must be kept. The diary entry, must show the amount spent, the date, the namr and location of the place, the of entertainment, the busi ness reason for the entertaining and this additional set of facts: Tlie name of each person enter ns well as his title or other designation sufficient to estab- ish a business relationship with he taxpayer. These exceptions are noted: 1. Other guests need not be named, if they have no business connection.

IRS will spell out, in a future regulation, how to figure the deductible portion of the cost. 2. Company secrets or classified matters need not be told in the expense diary, so long as they are ecorded and kept available to evenue agents on demand. 3.11 there are a number of bus- jiess guests, not all need to be named. A satisfactory entry might read like this: "June 10, 1963--Lunch, cock- ails and tip, Milford Cafe, Bridgeport; for T.

L. Young, sales manager, Anchor Distributing and his force of 8 salesmen; to discuss promotion of new line of iggage." Since any single expenditure of 25 or more calls for a receipt or oucher, IRS has had to offer ome advice on what constitutes ne expenditure. These may be elpful: A dinner followed by a theater arty would be two expenditures. Two rounds of drinks in a cock- ail lounge would be one expendi- ure, even if paid for separately. Drinks in a cocktail lounge, fol- owed by dinner in a dining room, ould be two expenditures.

Drinks nd dinner at the dining table be one expenditure. The tip can be included in the tiarge for meal or drinks, for ecord-keeping purposes. But if lis would put the bill over the 25 limit, the tip can be noted cpnrately. The 'rules for recording business ifts are similar, in general, ex- ept that no receipts are ever eeded. That's because Congress Ilowed no deduction at all for ifls exceeding 525 to one person i one year.

The names of gift recipients can left out of the diary if the resents are inexpensive like ckets to a high school football ame--and distributed to a num- er of persons. Special rules have been written i curb abuses arising from the ntertainment use of what IRS alls entertainment "facilities." ne term covers dues paid to ivate clubs, the rental of hotel lites, and the costs of maintain- yachts, swimming pools, each cottages or hunting lodges. Many taxpayers have taken deletions for part of these costs ecause they were used for busi- ess entertaining. Henceforth no eduction is allowed unless 51 per 'nt or more of the use is for bus- ess purposes. To substantiate the 51 per cent lie, tlie taxpayer must show in FAREWELL LUNCH Mrs.
