Donald Hiss, who with his brother Alger was accused of being part of a Washington espionage ring in the 1940s, has died of lung cancer. He was 82. Mr. Hiss died Thursday at his home here. Mr.

Hiss retired 13 years ago from the Washington law firm of Covington Burling, which he joined in 1945 after holding posts in the federal government. In 1948, Donald and Alger Hiss were identified as spies by Whittaker Chambers, a Time magazine senior editor and admitted former Communist, in testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Donald Hiss, who denied the allegations, was not prosecuted. Alger Hiss was convicted of perjury and has devoted much of his life to unsuccessful efforts to overturn that judgment. Donald Hiss, a native of Baltimore, graduated from Johns Hopkins University.

He received a law degree from the Harvard Law School in 1932 and served for a year as secretary to Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. Mr. Hiss joined the New Deal administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933 as a lawyer in the solicitor's office of the Department of Labor and later served in the Department of State's Office of Philippine Affairs. During World War.

II, Donald Hiss was an assistant to Dean Acheson, then assistant secretary of state in charge of economic affairs and later secretary of state. After his retirement, he moved to this town on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Toni Matt, a champion who pioneered in American competitive skiing and completed one of the sport's most famous and terrifying runs, died Wednesday in Pawling, N.Y., of an apparent heart attack at age 69. During World War II, Mr. Matt served as a second lieutenant with the Army's 10th Mountain Division, a unit that used ski troops, and saw action in the Aleutian Islands.

A downhill skiing champion in Austria, he came to the United States in 1938 with a group of Austrian skiers credited with introducing recreational and competitive skiing to America. On April 16, 1939, Matt skied down Tuckerman's Ravine on New Hampshire's Mount Washington in 6 minutes, 29.4 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 85 mph. His time for the 8-mile run down the treacherous ravine, which slopes at 65 de- Retirees rebel against state's 'source tax' SACRAMENTO When Gertrude Eberly closed out a 31-year career with the California Employment Development Department, she headed for drier pastures where tax laws and low-housing costs would help her make the most of her pension. She eventually settled in Fallon, and might have lived there happily ever after. But three years ago, the long arm of the California Franchise Tax Board found Eberly, and demanded current and back taxes on the state pension she'd been receiving since 1978.

"Paper by the ton" has been shuttling between Fallon and Sacramento since then, Eberly said in a voice ringing with disgust. "I'm now paying them $50 a month," she said. "I will die before it's paid off. And good!" Eberly, 72, is one of thousands of expatriate Californians who've been dunned for a socalled source tax in recent years. Like most retirees, she had no idea such a thing existed when she left California.

The source tax is assessed against any pension or annuity, public or private, that was earned while a California resident. In the case of someone who accumulated a pension while working for the same employer in several different states, the taxpayer is required to figure out which portion of the pension was earned in California and then pay taxes on that amount. The source-tax rate is figured on the amount of all income, not just the California pension. "Parts of this are tough," said Jim Reber of the California tax board. "It puts a burden on taxpayers to determine a reasonable and pay it.

There's no statute of limitation on this. That's the law." In some cases, the state has used collection firms to seize or put liens on property owned by ex-Californians. Last year alone, the tax board initiated 17,810 collection actions Darrell Maddox Obituary Editor 441-6427 and 7 to 9 p.m. today at the Cairns Mrs. Willard died Wednesday.

against out-of-state delinquents who owed $58.5 million. Some 1,100 of those cases were in Nevada. The former Californians are fighting back. This spring, an angry coalition of retirees got a bill through the Nevada state Legislature to prohibit any state from seizing property from retirees who owe source taxes. Similar legislation is pending in Florida and Texas.

In the U.S. Congress, all four members of the Nevada delegation are sponsoring legislation to outlaw source taxes. Forty-two states have source taxes, but not all are as aggressive as California in collecting them. Some, like New York, exempt the first $20,000 of income plus all public pensions. For ex-Californians, there are no exemptions, Reber said.

"This is plain tyranny," said Carl May, a former Oakland police officer who retired to Minden, in 1977. "They've already collected $3,000 and they're after me for $525.23 in penalties. I'm lucky I can still work. But there's a lot of people who are too old to work and this is going to put 'em on the street." The sponsor of the new Nevada law, Assemblyman Ernie Adler, D-Carson City, said he's seen "some really tragic consequences" for people with modest means who've been hit for large back-tax payments. "These people are not Californians for any purpose other than paying the source tax," he Funeral Services beets, safflower, milo maze and grapes.

Scott Barry, a prominent spokesman in Los Angeles and in West Germany for AIDS victims, died May 11 of the complications of the disease. Mr. Barry died at his home in Los Angeles. He was 32.

Mr. Barry in 1986 helped found Being Alive, a support group that has counseled hundreds of AIDS patients to abandon their isolation and participate as fully in life as their health permits. British-born classical musician Geoffrey Gilbert, once principal flutist of the London Philharmonic and Symphony Orchestras and who taught the Irish flutist James Galway, has died in Deland, at the age of 74. said. "They can't get a hunting or fishing license, they can't vote, they have no resident The revolt took on new impetus last year when Joann and Bill Hoffman sold their home in Torrance in Southern California and retired to Carson City, Nev.

They'd owned land in that area for 20 and knew nothing of source taxes when they arrived in March 1988. "We're not against fair taxes," Joann Hoffman said. "We pay our taxes. We're against taxation without representation." They soon founded Retirees to Eliminate State Income Source Taxes, or RESIST, which now has chapters in 28 states. "The response i is just overwhelming," Joann Hoffman added.

"Wei just can't keep up with the mail. We're working harder than we ever had. We feel it's our responsibility to get the word out to retirees and potential retirees. This is one of the best-kept secrets in the nation. You never hear about until the tax people come looking for you." Much of their work involves lobbying and sharing information with retires in other states.

Some chapter members also attempt to help people file appeals and cope with other tax paperwork. Some long-retired pensioners still have letters from the California tax board saying their allotments are not taxable. That was the policy until the tax board changed its regulations in 1977, Reber said. first appeal of the new policy rejected two years later. Beginning in 1986, the tax board stepped up efforts to collect the source tax, Reber said.

Some 32,000 former Californians paid $7 million in source taxes that year on income of $235 million. No figures are available for 1987 and 1988, but Reber said he expects those total to be much higher. The new Nevada law "will definitely hamper our efforts," Reber said, but no decision has been made on whether to challenge it. The statute won't take effect until Oct. 1.
