10B CORPUS amisn CALLER Mon July 22 1D6S $81 MILLION WINDFALL FOR SERVICEMEN- Texas Watches Courts on Sales Tax Exemption of its possible impact upon this state Conceding that it will hurt the state coffers one department head said no figures are available because the federal government say how many servicemen are paid how much in Texas However other sources can give a reasonable estimate of the possible impact The US Bureau of the Census estimates that Texas has 225000 servicemen this year and a National Guard source estimates that the average serviceman is paid $350 a month from general to However the Legislature this summer increased the state sales and use tax from 2 to 3 per cent effective Oct 1 and the IRS deduction was based on the 2 per cent tax So one must add half again as much which would leave the state $8437500 poorer than it thinks it's going to be And that doesn't touch upon the loss to such heavily military cities as San Antonio and El Paso which have the city sales tax The US Internal Revenue Service exempts from the income tax any state sales and use taxes paid during the year and in Texas the IRS will allow a deduction of $25 a year for a taxpayer in the $350 a month bracket who has a family of one or two members Thus by multiplying the number of servicemen by what the IRS says the average serviceman jiays in state sales tax one can estimate that Texas could lose $5625000 in one year under the federal court ruling if it stands court said "are imposed for general revenue purposes imposing such taxes on nonresident servicemen Improperly places the burden of supporting Connecticut upon their shoulders" Surely the case-originally brought by the federal government against Connecticutr-wiQ be appealed to the United States Supreme Court and if it agrees with the circuit-court ruling the decision will be applied to all states including Texas Texas Comptroller Robert office is aware of the litigation but says it has no idea Callcr-TImns Austin Bureau AUSTIN A federal court ruling exemr nonresident servicemen from state sales ana use taxes could save Texas-based military men those bothersome extra and could cost the state some $84 million a year The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has ruled in a Connecticut case that servicemen based in a state away from home are not required to pay the sales and use tax of the host state sales and use the trmm UJ WIA7HII IUIIAU DEATHS AND FUNERALSi Lawrence Dellis Bernardino Campos Poll Finds Similarity in Support Unity for One VnuilmlniP llanlr Candidate ails Back Gov Rockefeller And Sen McCarthy Presidential Discussions Lively as Meeting Opens By RELMAN MORIN CINCINNATI (AP) The reported plan for a coalition of Republican governors to unite now behind a presidential candidate collapsed Sunday when Ohio Gov James A Rhodes said he would not commit his delegation to anyone Rhodes made the statement on the opening day of ue National Governors Confer- ends in Cincinnati ivowrrn The plan ostensibly was deli I (I AN a tli: signed to keep the GOP Nation- BUST HEADS al Convention Many political observers believe UdlwHd- CmiuS Scattered showers and thundershowers are forecast Coast and from Arizona and New Mexico northward in the Great Lakes region and warmer in the north- (AP Wirephoto Map) Bernardino Campos 69 of Lawrence Dellis 72 of 706 1714 Harvard died at 3:30 pm Sharon a resident here since Saturday in a local hospital af- 1M2t ln a local hospital' SKlc had lived here most of his life illness and was employed with the city He was a retired civil service street department 20 years be- electrician with the public works fere retiring in 1965 department at the Naval Air A Rosary will be recited at 8 Station He moved here fromj in the Angelus Funeral Mabank and he was born in Van Chapel Funeral Mass will be at Zant County I 9 am tomorrow in Holy Family 1Ie was a member of the Ma-Catholic Church with the Rev tank Methodist Church and the Thomas Fernandez pastor offi- Klnclricnl Workers Union 278 dating Burial will be in Rose hcre -1 Ms wits SuiylywsMcliMc Ms wife Ja-Luisa three sons Asenrion Adelido and Ramiro Campos all of Corpus ChrisU two daughters Mrs Guadalupe Hale ofDallas a son Flores and Mrs Consuelo Ricf H- A- ffilw A- Jas both of Corpus ChrisU BJ-andchifren and 17 great-grand-three step-sons Valentin Riopas children i and Reynaldo Torres both of Corpus Christ!
