IHS Distributing $4
Billion in an Effort to
Stimulate the Economy
WASHINGTON OPI — The In
ternal Revenue said it is distri
buting more than $4 billion in
income tax refunds as rapidly as
possible in an effort to stimulate
the economy.
However, IRS Commissioner
Mortimer M. Caplin said the job
could be done faster if more tax
payers filed their returns early.
“We want very much to pay out
these refunds as rapidly as possible
to help stimulate the nation’s
economy during this period of
economic slack,” Caplan said.
He estimated that refunds
would be paid within five weeks
on returns filed now.
The deadline for filing income
tax returns is April 17 this year
because the normal April 15 dead
line falls on a Saturday.

The second stage raced hun
dreds of feet into the air. leaving
the first stage on the pad, spew
ing fire from both ends. The upper
section spiraled out of control
of several seconds before plum
meting into an open field 700
yards away.
This was the fourth firing of
an advanced Polaris missile, des
ignated A2, which is being de
veloped to carry a nuclear war
head 1,725 miles.

Devout Against Gamblin':*
Briton Wins Soccer Pool
LONDON UPS—A $22.40-a-week
railroad worker, afraid to tell
his wife apd son he had gambled,
won $449,229 for a farthing (a
quarter of a cent) bet in the
weekly soccer pool Tuesday.
When officials of the betting
establishment found the railroad
man he was hiding at his home, j
trying to find a way to explain his
good fortune to his devoutly re
ligious family.
The man, whose identiy was
kept secret, said he had realized
after Saturday’s matches that he
had correctly forecast the eight
ties and was hoping other bettors
might have done the same, thus
cutting down the amount of his
winnings. But he was the sole one !
to do so and got the entire prize.
“I saw no harm in having a!
little flutter and would have wel
comed a small win,” he said, ‘‘but
this record win has staggered me.” i
He said he and his wife had
i scrimped and saved over the years
to give their two sons a good
religious education, one in which
they had learned to regard gam
bling as an evil.
Betting on the soccer matches
| is a British way of life. Virtually
every family participates. Betting
is legal in Britain and the win
nings are tax free.

Speaker Rayburn Hints
There May be Deficits
Instead of Surpluses
WASHINGTON UP) — House
Speaker Sam Rayburn, <D-Tex.l,
hinted there may be deficits this
I year and next instead of the sur
| pluses forecast by former Presi
dent Eisenhower.
Rayburn concurred with Presi
; dent Kennedy’s view that a tax
reduction is not in sight now.
“Wisdom would not suggest a
i tax cut,” Rayburn told newsmen,
. “unless it would be one that would
encourage business to expand.”
Rayburn and other Democratic
congressional leaders talked with
reporters after their weekly meet
ing with Kennedy at the White
House.
In obvious reference to Eisen
hower’s budget — forecasting a
$79 million surplus for this fiscal
I year, ending June 30, and a $1.5
billion surplus for fiscal 1962 —
Rayburn observed that “some
| former budgets have found money
that didn’t exist.”
Asked whether this meant that
I deficits are more likely than sur
pluses, Rayburn replied: “Well,
it is doubtful if revenues are
1 going to be what have been anti
cipated by some people.”
