6-C THE BAYTOWN SUN Sunday, June 9, 1985 Investigation continues Mengele evidence found SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) Police say they found new evidence that a body exhumed near Sao Paulo is that of notorious Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, but an official cautioned that authorities may not be able to give a "100 percent positive" identification. Romeu Tuma, chief of the federal police in Sao Paulo, said investigators Friday discovered a photo of Mengele's son Rolf at the house of a couple who told police they harbored the Nazi fugitive. Police also found handwritten notes believed to be Mengele's, he said. Mengele, the infamous "Angel of Death" of the Auschwitz concentration camp, is accused of ordering the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Jews during World War II. If alive, he would be 74 years old.

"There are very strong indications that the remains do indeed belong to Mengele," Tuma said. However, Jose Antonio de Mello, assistant director of the city morgue, said: "It is quite possible that we will not be able to give a 100 percent positive identification of the remains." De Mello did not say why it may be difficult to provide a positive identification, but West German authorities and Brazilian police have provided different versions of. what dental and medical records are available to help identify the body. A West German prosecutor, Hans Eberhard Klein, said the dental records were not enough to identify the body. Tuma said the dental records arrived Friday, and medical data on Mengele's bone structure, height and hair color was expected.

However, Klein said authorities did not know what Mengele's bone structure was. Nazi hunters and Jewish groups have expressed skepticism that the body is Mengele. "We will not allow ourselves to be influenced by political or ideological feelings. There are some who would like us to say Mengele is alive and others who want us to confirm his death. All we want to do is identify the owner of the skull and bones," Tuma said.

Police discovered a book on evolution in German with 15 pages of handwritten notes believed to be Mengele's at the home of the couple. Tuma said he would ask U.S. and West German authorities to release classified World War II documents with handwriting specimens to serve as a comparison. Forensic experts began Friday to clean the bones and were to start assembling the skeleton, Tuma said. He said the identification could take "a few hours or a few weeks." Mello said the remains had been locked in a refrigerator at the morgue, and work would not continue until Monday.

Police say the man who may be Mengele drowned on Feb. 7, 1979, while swimming at the beach resort of Bertioga, 47 miles from Sao Paulo. AH sides want tax plan changes WASHINGTON (AP) Critics and supporters of President Reagan's tax overhaul plan are urging Congress to tinker with the three individual income tax rates that are a major part of the president's proposal. The conservative National Taxpayers Union wants the rates to be cut even lower than Reagan proposed, while the liberal Citizens for Tax Justice seeks a new, higher top rate to apply to the wealthiest Americans. The two public interest groups joined a half-dozen others Friday in testifying before the House Ways and Means Committee on suggested improvements to Reagan's plan.

James D. Davidson, chairman Bullock certifies new state budget AUSTIN (AP) The $37.2 billion state government budget will balance even though it's the biggest the Legislature has ever approved, Comptroller Bob Bullock says. "This budget fits available revenues like a new pair of shoes tight and squeaky." Bullock said Friday in certifying the spending plan. The budget, which takes effect Sept. 1, is 20 percent higher than the $31 billion budget approved by the 1983 Legislature for the 1984-85 fiscal years.

"We're used to setting records in Texas, and we've set another one this morning," Bullock said. "This is the biggest appropriation bill." of the National Taxpayers Union, said Reagan's plan is "an important step in the right direction an improvement on the current tax system." The organization would probably support adoption in its present form, even though it thinks the measure can be improved, Davidson said. Other organizations found less to like about the bill. "Some of the provisions like the business depreciation system and the capital-gains preference are such bonanzas for profitable corporations and rich individuals that they almost defeat the whole principle of tax reform," said Joseph Goffman of Public Citizen, a Ralph Nader group. Added Fred Wertheimer, president of Common Cause: "The president's plan contains a number of the major ingredients that are essential to comprehensive tax reform it also has critical flaws that undermine its fairness and reduce the prospects for obtaining public acceptance." Common Cause and Public Citizen said Congress should throw out Reagan's plan and start fresh with its own.

DAILY SERVICE INTIRCONTINEHTAl AND HOIIT AIRPORTS CHARTER SERVICE wtcfcl prams For MEDICAL CENTER TRIP CAU TODAY 422-3607 Reagan's proposal would reduce tax rates for individuals and corporations, boost the personal exemption and pay for the changes by restricting or eliminating several deductions. The present maximum tax rate of 50 percent for the wealthiest individuals would be cut to 35 percent; moderate income people would pay 25 percent, and most people would pay a 15 percent rate.

Davidson of the National Taxpayers Union proposed that instead of raising the personal exemption to $2,000 for everyone, as Reagan would do, Congress should turn the exemption into a credit, which would benefit lower-income people more than those at higher levels. An exemption, like a deduction, reduces income subject to taxation; a credit reduces taxes owed, and thus a $1 credit is worth $1 to people at. all income levels. A $2,000 exemption would reduce the tax bill of a person in the 15 percent tax bracket by $300, and cut taxes by $1,000 for somebody in the 50 percent bracket. Changing the exemption to a $300 credit would save everybody $300, Davidson noted.

Adults in Europe chocolate lovers NEW YORK (AP) An expert on chocolate consumption believes he knows why less chocolate is eaten by Americans than by Europeans. "While per capita consumption has risen to about 10 pounds annually in the U.S., it still is below the chocolate eating patterns in Europe because Americans were taught to believe chocolate is just for children.
