At the federal building in Fort Worth, a U.S. tax
court goes into session to hear the federal
government's case against Texas Land OommissionerJerry Sadler.
The snuff-dipping, sharp-tongued
East Texan claims the government owes him money --
45 hundred,58 dollars to be exact,
but the government
says Sadler owes 125 thousand dollars in income taxes
for the year 194 to 1957.
Sadler, in a jovial
mold, quips with reporters and tells photographers
they can't take his picture unless they've paid theirpoll tax.
Most of the taxes in question are on a
fee paid Sadler's law firm in a Gregg county case in
1956.
Sadler testified today that he placed
140 thousand dollars of the fee in a trust fund to
guard against an anticipated suit by other attorneys.
He sayd the money was not released from the trust
fund until 1957 and income tax was not due on it
until that year. The civil action is being heard byS ADLE2
