WEDIffiSDAY, JANUARY 23, 1974
This column of questions and answers on federal
tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public
service to taxpayers. The column answers questions
most frequently asked by taxpayers.
Q. I had a lot of dental work
done recently, and I asked my
dentist to bill me after the first
of the year. Can I still deduct
these medical expenses on my
1973 return?
A. No. Medical expenses may
be deducted only in the year
you pay them. Thus, if you
want to claim a deduction for
these dental expenses on your
1973 return, you will have to
pay them before the end of
1973.
Q. My employer gives all his
employees a ham for Christ-
mas. This is a tax-free gift,
isn’t it?
A. Yes. If to promote good
will, your employer makes a
general distribution of hams,
turkeys, or other items of mer
chandise of nominal value at
Christmas time, the value of
these gifts is not income and,
therefore, not taxable.
However, if your employer
distributes cash, gift certifi
cates, or similar items of read
ily convertible cash value, the
value of such gifts is addi
tional salary or wages.
Q. A prospective employer paid
my travel expenses to come in
for a job interview. Is paymeni
of these expenses taxable in
come to me?
A. The amount you receive is
income only to the extent thal
it exceeds your actual expenses
Q. What are some of the typ.
leal records that a taxpayer
might use in operating a smaf
business?
A. A typical recordkeeping sys
tem for a small business mighi
include: a daily summary oj
cash receipts, a monthly income
journal, a check disbursementE
journal, a business checkbook
a depreciation record, and ar
employee compensation record

lication 583, “Recordkeeping

Good Reason To Smile
Atlanta Braves slugger Hank Aaron and his vivacious
bride, TV personality Billye Williams, have very good
reason to smile these days. The baseball star just signed a
million-dollar, five-year contract with the Magnavox
Company, the biggest such pact in sports history.

During the commission
ing ceremony, media re
presentative interest cen
tered on the keynote
address by Representative
Barbara Jordan of Houston,
Texas, (Dorie Miller was
from Waco, Texas), and the
“run on” of the ship’s
crew. This dramatic tradi
tional method of manning a
new ship received heavy
photographic coverage.
An analysis of media
comment reveals on over
whelming amount of copy
favorable to the Navy.
Many articles led with
“First U.S. Navy ship
named for a Black enlisted
man.” The Texas papers
led with qiiotes from
Representative Jordan’s
speech or focused on Mrs.
Miller, Dorie’s mother,
who was also present for
the ceremony. Nearly every
story recounted Miller’s
heroic actions and describ
ed the capabilities of the
ship.
Each of these approaches
relied heavily ' on facts
supplied in Navy press
material which individual
writers tailored to their own
needs. There were only two
features produced - the
remaining stories used the

hard news style.
One columnist, who .
stayed aboard USS New
port News, wrote:“The
food and lodging were
great; things you used to
hear about the Navy seem
to hold up now. A Black’s
future in the Navy looks
very bright based on
brother officers talked to.
All in all, it was a historic
event that shows the Navy
has long since shaken off its
cloak of racism for the
betterment of the country.”
A woman reporter wrote:
“As i*^ turned out, the
ceremony was most impres
sive and probably did more
than any other single act to
improve the Navy’s i-
mage.”
Of the ship’s comple
ment of 266 men and 17
officers, the highest rank
ing Black is a chief petty
officer. That bothered some
of the reporters present
who wanted to know why a
Black officer was not in
command of the ship.
Secretary Johnson answer
ed that, “while progress in
this direction has to be
speeded up, the Navy does
not intend to engage in
reverse racism.”
The following account
appeared in the Grand
Rapids (Michigan) Times,
whose publisher was a-
mong Miller guests. The
headline read, “Black
News Media Say Thanks to
Navy.” The writer conti
nues, “Many thanks to the
Navy for its giant step
forward in commissioning
the USS Miller in honor of
Dorie Miller. Thanks are
also due to the Navy for the
consideration given to
Black news media editors...
The Navy certainly treated
the Black editors well - with
great dignity and appre
ciation.”
