HARPSTER DENVER ®—U.S. Commissioner Joseph D. Neff set bond at $100,000 each early today for four top communists nabbed together only one block from the Colorado Cap- itol Building by FBI agents. A fifth was arrested in Los Angeles. Three men and a women were! taken by FBI agents to city jail} here for fingerprinting, then to the county jail. Commissioner ‘Neff said a preliminary hearing would | be held Aug. 16. The arrest of the four, along with | that of Mrs. Patricia Blau in Los| Angeles, was announced in Wash- ington by FBI Director J. Edgar Kelley said all were arrested on warrants issued here and charging them with violation of the Smith Act. 2 That law, under which a total of 115 Communist party functionaries have been arrested since 10949, makes it a crime to teach or ad- - voeate the forcible overthrow of the U.S. government. Those arrested here were Arthur Bary, 42, chairman of the Colorado Communist Party and regional o- ganize for Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and New Mexico; Anna Correa Bary, 29, his wife and former organizer of the Communist ey ae Denver; Harold Zepelin, 28, Communist party organizer for Coloado; and Lewis Martin John- son, 34, head of the Communist} party in Utah. As they left the office of Com- missioner Neff, all except Mrs. Bary, smartly dressed in a blue cress and sporting a boyish Italian hairdo, were handcuffed. Asked if he had any comment, Bary, nattily dressed in white straw hat, dark blue suit and white polo shirt, told The Asso- ciated Press: “Yes, if it’s permissible to make one.” The FBI agents, one on either side of him, made no protest. “I think you should know that Commissioner Neff set bond at) $100,000 each, which is tantamount | to no bond at all. It will be impos- sible to meet it.” Commissioner Neff said the four showed no emotion other than “amusement” at their arraign- ment. “It was all a big jcke,” he said. Charles Brown, agent in charge of the Denver FBI office, gave no details of the arrests other than to say that all were arrested while standing on the sidewalk near the Capitol. He said the arrests climaxed “a lengthy investigation.” Kelley said Ke was aware of the investigation “gome time ago.” He said Mrs. Blau probably would be returned heré for preliminary hearing on the same date as the other four. Mrs. Blau, who the FBI said has been associated with Commu- nist party activities since 1943, was arrested at her Los Angeles home where she lived with her husband. She had been working in a bakery for several months without public attention, the FBI said. A native of Fort Smith, Canada, she was arrested Aug. 27, #1953, near Stockton, Calif., in connec- tion with the arrests of Communist fugitives Robert Thompson and idney Steinberg on the same day in a cabin hideout near Twain Harte, Calif. She was later acquit- ted on charges of harboring feder- al fugitives. Bary, Colorado Communist party chairman and former party func- tionary in Utica, N.Y., is regarded by the FBI as one of the party’s outstanding West Coast under- ground leaders. He had $1,872.67 in his possession when arrested. Huk Raid Told MANILA (® — Forty bandits, re- | ported to be Comfnunist-led Huk dissidents, raided San Jose, 8 miles north of Manila, last night. Philippine News Service said the raiders looted about 20 homes and kidnaped a policeman and a civilian. The outlaws were reported to have distributed leaflets urging the | inhabitants to cooperate with them | in their “fight against American imperialism.” ‘incidental bite out of your pocket- | income.

BARRETT WASHINGTON (#—If medical expenses are taking more than an book, you may get some help from another source: an income tax cut. Bigger deductions for medical expenses -starting last Jan. 1 in- cluded in the giant tax revision bill just passed by Congress. They will show up in your 1954 income tax return. Under the new law you may de- duct from your income, before fig- uring your tax, medical expenses above 3 per cent of your income. It was 5 per cent under the old law. But there's another provision) that may trim your benefits some- | what. Under the old law, all out: | lays for drugs and medicines were | included as medical expenses. Un-| der the new law you can count| only those drugs and medicines | which exceed 1 per cent of your And remember you don’t get any | deductions for medical expenses! unless you itemize your deduc- | tions. You won't benefit if you take the standard deduction of 10 per| cent of your income, which the gov- ernment offers gratis to most tax- Payers. Because of the medical allow-| ance and others, you may find you will benefit by ‘listing your deduc- tions next year although in the past you have been taking the automatic 10 per cent deduction. Another change would be an es- pecially big help if you run into really extraordinary medical ex-| penses. Under the ‘old law the| maximum medical deduction was | $1,250 per person, for yourself or| your dependents, or up to $5,000 for a family. The new law doubles the maximum deductions to $2,500 per person and $10,000 for a fam- ily. Here are typical examples of how the change from 5 to 3 per cent would work: If your income is $5,000, you now can deduct allowable medical ex- penses that run dbpve $150. Under the old law, you ould deduct only those expenses above $250. If your medical costs were ac- tually $200, yow*cduld deduct $50 under the new law but nothing under the old law. If your expenses were $250 or more, you could de- duct an extra $100 under the new law. At the minimum 20 per cent tax rate, the extra $100 deduction would amount to a tax cut of $20. | ‘Your tax reduction would be great-| er if you are above the minimum bracket, or if your medical ex- | penses were above the old maxi-| mum deductions. Poland Charges | US. Strafing Of Merchant Ships H LONDON (® — Poland has charged U.S. fighters with strafing) two Polish merchant ships off | Hainan Island on July 26. | That was the day after two U.S. Navy pilots show down two Chinese Communist pianes which attacked | them south of Red-held Hainan, off | the Indochina coast, as the Ameri- cans searched for survivors from a downed British airliner. A Warsaw radio broadcast, head in London yesterday, said a| note protesting the alleged strafing | had been handed to the U.S. Em- bassy in the Polish capital. The two ships were identified as the 7,836-ton Braterstwo and | the 4,959-ton Pokoj. I The broadcast said Poland had | demanded punishment of those re- | sponsible for the alleged attack and | that measures be taken to revent a repetition.

The counterpart of these fig- ures in the yacht-owning Dutch painter and the American girl, Pandora, who loved him enough to give up her life for him makes for a fascinating romantic drama laid against the color, pageantry and gypsy music of the Spanish scene.
