A University of Washington graduate, she is now taking advanced work in sociology. The IRS trial attorney, Robert T. Hol-lohan who once impatiently glanced at the clock, sighed loudly and slumped deeper into his chair repeatedly objected to Long's lengthy testimony.

Long started off by detailing his childhood jobs, starting when he was a newspaper boy at age 3. In a prepared statement. Long said: it is clear that we are not dealing with a question involving a large or exorbitant salary. "This is not a dispute over whether a salary should be $60,000 or $100,000.

The Bellevue. real estate couple is fighting the IRS' demand to pay it $38,144 in back taxes. The couple's court hassle began in 1969 when the IRS told Long, who earlier took charge of family-owned property, that it was disallowing 33 deductions, including insurance and auto outlays for 1966t 1967 and 1969.

Long said that during 1967 and 1968 he did not hold outside employment so "therefore devoted my full attention to the responsibilities of running the family business." "I've been way under compensated," Long told the court.

"My family agrees and they've asked me to take more money out." During their nationally publicized three-year struggle with the IRS, the Longs have successfully forced the agency to disclose IRS manuals that spell out exactly how government auditors make their decisions. The Longs won that point earlier under the Freedom of Information Act. For yesterday 's proceedings, the Longs traveled to the nation's capital with 200 pounds of documents and only one suitcase of clothes. Judge Cynthia H.

The recall proponents primarily had objected to a recommendation by the three to consider administrative salary cuts including one of $5,000 directed at district superintendent Dr. Gabriel H. Reuben.

The group of about 60 businessmen had been considering the recall action for several months over what Reimers described as "the complete lack of professional achivement on the part of the board."

In 1970, the Phoenix command, based at Sky Harbor International Airport, received the U.S. Air Force's Outstanding Unit Award.

This year, it was handed an Oak Leaf Cluster to that decoration. And this month, the unit received a written "satisfactory" and an oral "outstanding" from Tactical Air Command evaluators following a deep, week-long inspection of the group's operational readiness. The examination was mandatory, marked the unit's return to full opera- tion-al status, and lifted the 161st from the twilgiht phase it has been moving through for almost a year following adoption of its new role in the national defense structure. At this time last year, the 161st was swinging and winging as an air transport and medical evacuation group flying four-engined C97Gs. Then the outfit was reconfigured to a mid-air refueling role, took delivery of six-engine (four piston and two jet) KC97Ls, and bowed to the task of becoming a 10-plane, airborne service station for thirsty fighters.
