MONTREAL—In a spectacular rescue operation, Montreal

Treasury official says
loophole closer working
By MICHAEL POSNER
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
No. 2 man in the Treasury
Department contends the law
designed to close tax loopholes
is working despite the fact that
112 persons earning over
$200,000 paid no federal income
taxes last year.
Undersecretary Charls E.
Walker told the House Appro
priations Committee Thursday
that the Treasury is analyzing
the returns of the 112, including
three persons who earned over
$1 million in 1970.
He defended the 1969 Tax
Reform Act that was designed
to make certain that everyone
with substantial income pays at
least some tax.
Walker said that some of the
provisions, such as reduction in
unlimited charitable deductions
which are allowed the very
wealthy, haye not yet become
fully effective.
Monday the Treasury will go
before the House Ways and
Means Committee and explain
die 112 no-tax cases, Walker
said. He said he will show that
tlie 1969 law has been
“effective" in blocking tax
escape.

A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN GENERAL GROUP
The disclosure in 1969 that
155 people with incomes over
$200,000 in 1967 paid no taxes
led to passage of the tax
reform measure.
Walker’s appearance before
Ways and Means will be to ask
Congress to approve a SSO
billion increase in the National
Debt ceiling to a record S4BO
billion so that the government
can cover two successive
budget deficits.
But Walker obviously has
anticipated questioning about
those people who pay no taxes.
Several congressmen have said
they will question Treasury
officials sharply on this score.
In 1969, the last year before
the tax reform measure, there
were 300 people with incomes
over $200,000 who escaped
paying federal taxes.

Convicted kidnapper
says publicity hurt
REIDSVILLE, Ga. (UPI) —
The convicted kidnapper Gary
Steven Krist, continued his lone
courtroom battle to regain his
freedom in superior court here
today.
Krist, convicted for the 1969
kidnapping of heiress Barbara
Jane Mackie, is acting as his
own attorney in attempting to
prove the pre-trial publicity
prejudiced his trial in a subur
ban Atlanta court.
The 26-year-old Krist and
Ruth Eisemann-Schier were ac
cused of abducting Miss
Mackie, now Mrs. Stewart H.
Woodward of Philadelphia, from
an Atlanta area motel room
and burying her in a box while
demanding $500,000 ransom.
The then-Miami girl was dis
covered by FBI agents.
The kidnapping, search for
and discovery of her created
widespread publicity, which
Krist argued in his own behalf
Thursday was prejudicial and
“of such weight and pervasive
ness that it can be reasonably
expected the jury was exposed
to it.”
He repeatedly pressed for ap
pointment of a state-paid attor
ney to help present his case,
and for payment of expenses to
collect evidence and bring wit
nesses to this southeast Georgia
town, home of the state peni
tentiary.
Krist is serving a life sen
tence for the conviction.
“Anincarceratedprisoner can
simply not obtain the evidence,”
he argued. “If the court would
put me on my own re
cognizance, I’d happily go get
it.”
But Tattnall County Superior
Court Judge Paul E. Caswell
told Krist there was no provi
sion in state law to give him
the aid he requested.
“You can subpoena them
(witnesses and evidence) if you
want to, if you’ll pay them a
witness fee,” the judge de
clared.
Dressed in a neat white pris
on uniform, Krist displayed
clippings from Atlanta newspa
pers in an attempt to prove his
point. But he said he needed
other such clippings, plus tran-
scripts ot newscasts from radio
and television stations in the
Atlanta area to aid his argu
ment.
The prisoner said FBI Direc
tor J. Edgar Hoover, who an
nounced his arrest, pointed his
finger at Krist’s picture and
declared “he’s the one that did
it.”

Vice-Presidents
The United States has been
without a vice-president 16
times — eight times because
of a president’s death, seven
times because of the death of
the vice-president himself
and once because John C.
Calhoun resigned to take a
Senate seat.
