Tentative Toll Of Skeletons Raised to 14 More Bones Found In Garbage Pit at Gein 'Death Farm'

P LA INFIELD, Wis. wiscon- ; sin Atty. Gen. Stewart Honeck

- yesterday raised to 14 the tenta

tive toll of human beings whose

slaughtered remains have been found in the secluded farm house

of Edward Gein near here.

Previously authorities listed at least 11 . . . including Mrs. Ber- . nice Worden, whom Gein admitted

slaying Nov. 16. Of the 10 others,

the oi-year-old recluse said one

was Mrs. Amy Hogan, whom he

killed in 1954.

The announcement in Madison by Honeck of the new figures

came while officers of three coun

ties converged on the death farm after discovery of another skele

ton in a garbage pit. MYSTERIOUS STRANGER 7 Sheriff Frank Series of neigh

boring Adams County said that it was "very possible" a skeleton unearthed yesterday by Portage

County Sheriff Herb VVanserski, was that of a mysterious money-

flashing stranger who vanished

with an Adams County acquain

-tance wnile hunting live years

Honeck, placed in overall

. charge of the investigation last

Monday by Gov. Vernon Thomson

said yesterday finding of an

other body "is not inconsistent"

with some of the information

drawn from Gein during extensive lie detector tests. ' He said he has sent an investigation to Plainfield to help county officers and added: "We may come up with something more." Honeck said State Crime Laboratory officials think the newly unearthed skeleton is another that had been taken from a grave, and declared two more or less ."complete bodies might be found. -DON'T INV OLVE MALES The state experts, he added, "still are of the opinion that Gein's acts both disturbance of graves and murder do not involve male victims." He added: "Total bodies now involved are: No. 1 Hogan; No. 2 Worden;

Nos. 3 through 11 bodies from

disturbed graves; No. 12 skull and bones found yesterday; Nos.

13 and 14 two more possibilities

which must be confirmed by fur

ther polygraph tests."

Honeck said Gein would not be

questioned further on the matter

of bodies No. 13 and 14 until after mental tests now being made at T Central State Hospital for the

criminally insane are completed.

Uncle Sam Working on Belated Yule Gifts Income Tax Forms, for 60 Million on List

By G. K. HODENTTELD

WASHINGTON w You'll be

glad to know that your ol' Uncle

Sam hasn't forgotten you he's at work right now making sure you

get your income tax forms after

the start of the new year. And that's no easy task. It takes

about 300 freight carloads of paper just to print up the necessary half

billion or so forms of one kind and another. These have to be

shipped to all corners of the coun

try, and dropped into your mail

box starting Jan. 2.

They could be delivered sooner,

but Uncle Sam wants to avoid the

Christmas mail rush. Also, he doesn't want you to get your tax forms mixed up with the Christmas cards you might lose the forms. YOU'RE IN BOOK If you are one of the 60 million who filed an individual income tax return last year you're down

Palmdale Plans 'Industry Day'

. PALMDALE (UP) Final plans

'were being completed yesterday1 for a colorful "Welcome to In-' t dustry Day" next Thursday that; " will feature a tour of industrial!

and aircraft plants. The day-long program will announce the opening of a 16,000acre area surrounding Palmdale Airport to new industry. Civic, governmental, industrial and business leaders are expected to par".ticipate in activities. ; Principal speaker at a luncheon meeting will be Los Angeles County Supervisor Warren M. Dorn, who will discuss Antelope Valley's industrial future. Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and Gen. Marcus S. Cooper of Edwards Air Force Base are among a number of officials invited to attend. - A major highlight of the day will be a deliberate "sonic boom" signaling a "jet aircraft salute to industry," as jets from nearby Edwards AFB sweep overhead.

Airports to Be Jet-Age Tested WASHINGTON (UP) The Air

ways Modernization Board said

yesterday it wil conduct a test pro

gram on "high-speed exit taxi-

ways" in California next month to get information needed to gear airports to the age of jet transportation. Gen. E. R. Quesada, chairman

of the board, said the tests will be

carried out at McClellan Air Force

Base, Sacramento. The Air Force will lend jet tanker planes for the

tests "in order to simulate the

problems of handling large jet

transports in the near future."

Jet fighters, conventional trans

ports, jet bombers, and light aircraft also will participate.

Quesada said information on how

to get planes on and off runways quickly is "urgently needed" for airports faced with the necessity of improving facilities "to handle present and forecast heavy traffic flow."

The tests will be conducted at

the request of the Airport Opera

tors Council, an organization of

large public airport operators.

American Flier Killed

in Uncle's little black address book for good. He has you listed

by name, address, and whether

you filed as an ordinary wageearner, a farmer, a businessman or a self-employed person. All this information is assembled at the regional distribution centers at Lawrence, Mass.; Kansas City, Mo., and Ogden, Utah. Here the Internal Revenue Service

it you nave moved since you

last filed a return, don't fret

about it. The Post Office Depart

ment will see to it that your package is forwarded. UP TO YOU If, for any reason, you didn't

file a return last year, it's up to you to contact the nearest district director's office in person or

by mail and get the necessary forms. Suppose you don't? Suppose you decide to ignore the whole costly, exasperating business? "We have a great regard for the honesty of the American taxpayer," says the IRS. "If he owes taxes, he'll pay them." ' , Naturally, no one is going to be dishonest about paying his taxes. But, just in case anyone gets careless or forgetful, the IRS has a way of keeping tabs. The service gets a copy of the "W-2" forms on which your employer lists your salary and your tax deductions. Eventually, those forms get matched up with income tax returns. RAISES SUSPICION When there are "W-2" forms left over, with no matching returns, it raises the ugly, suspicion that somebody is holding out on Uncle. Such a suspicion rankles the tax collectors and they start

checking. Most thoroughly.

The government figures it spends about four million dollars a year printing and distributing its masses of forms. That's cheap.

In the fiscal year which ended last June 30 he collected more

than 80 billion dollars in all types of taxes a return of $20,000 for every dollar spent on forms. Of course, the IRS has other expenses in connection with separating you and your money salaries, audits, office rent, business machines and the like. Even so, the service figures it costs less

than half a cent to collect a dollar

in taxes.

The net take from taxes, cus

toms duties and miscellaneous receipts is expected to hit just over 732 billion dollars this fiscal year. Just under half of all tax collections come from individuals who fill out the forms the IRS is now preparing for us. During this fiscal year, individual income taxes are expected to total more than HY2 billion dollars. Another

21 billion will come from cor

porations, 11 billion from excise taxes, nearly nine billion in employment taxes and 1 billion in estate and gift taxes.

To reap this golden harvest, the

tax people this year ordered 188,919,000 individual income tax forms for the nation's 172 million people. They expect to get back some 60 million with cash. WOULD BE SHAME The tax collectors feel they need a -3 to 1 margin because (1)

most taxpayers want to save a

copy of their returns (2) some1

forms are spoiled in the process

of being filled out, (3) some peo

ple who get forms don't have to file a return and (4) wouldn't it be a shame if there weren't

enough to go around?

The item the Revenue Service is "pushing" this season is the form 1040-A,- the short form for

those whose income is less than! $5,000 and who don't itemize their j deductions. These forms are printed cards 1 that can be processed by a busi-j

ness machine, saving both taxpayer and- tax collector consider- i able time and trouble. The IRS says about 30 million taxpayers; could use this form if they only1 would. Last year 14 million did, I

and the IRS hopes it goes to 20 million this year. If you get the long form, you may note two changes this year. IN BROWN INK Some are going to be printed in brown ink instead of black. The theory is that the brown ink will contrast with the black ink most taxpayers use in filling out the forms. If that proves true, it will make the job of checking the re

turns faster and more accurate. And one new line has been

added to the first page of the long

form for the entry of total deduc

tions claimed as business ex

penses. This is another battle in

the war the Revenue bernce is waging against people who may try to write off a trip to the World

Series or a winter resort as aj business expense. If the total listed on the new line seems unusually large, the tax collectors will immediately turn to. the itemized list which has to be attached and give it a long, hard look.

Even though you 11 get your forms in early January, you don't

have to pay up until the deadline next April 15. But, if you have a refund coming, the sooner you return your form the sooner you'll get your money. In any event, the tax peopla hope you'll send it in as early as possible. They get in a frightful crush come April.
