Fuss Over Joe's Money WASHINGTON The National Bank of Chicago is fight ing a move by tha government to take over a $86,289 trust fund as payment on a half million dollar income tax biU owned 'by Joe Louis, ex heavyweight boxing champion. A petition filed by the bank in the United States Tax court as trustee of a trust created by Mrs. Marva Louis Spaulding, former wife of the ex champion, reveal ed that Joe stills owes the government $544,945.11 in taxes on his 1948, 1947, 1948 and 1949 income.

The tax collector notified the bank last year that the money put into trust funds for Joe Louis Barrow, and Jacqueline Bar row, Mrs. spauiaing cnuaren, should be applied to Joe income tax deficiency. The tax collector claims that Joe, born Joe Louis Barrow, was insolvent at the time he created the trusts for the children and that the money he set aside for them properly belonged to Uncle Sam. Because of this alleged insolvent position, the Tax court held that the bank has incurred transferee liability for the deficiencies due from 1946 through 1949. The bank, answering in a petition on behalf of the trust fund, argues that the statute of limitations had expired for assessing against it for Louis' 1946, 1947 and 1948 income taxes, at the time the commissioner moved against the bank.

The bank also claimed that, the alleged tax liability of transferor had 'not accrued for 1949 the time the petitioner received the assets" in the trust, and hat Louis was not insolvent at the time.
