HUGE OIL PROFITS " DISCLOSED IN SUIT Rydal Man Asks Refund $757,761.78 on Excess In come Tax on Stock of One of the many romances of lucky strikes in oil and gas is disclosed In n Milt Med In the United States District Court today bv William Carnlll, nu oil producer, thing nt Il(al, against Eplirnun Lrderer, collector of Internal rfveuiic. to iccover .$""(7,701.78 he alleges aie cv'iws income taxes exacted from him by the government. Mr. Carnlll owned -101 shares of the capital stock of the Hill Oil nnd Gas Co.. of a par value of $100 a Bhare, and in 1 1110 he sold his holdings for $G,0G0.O0O, nt a" profit of $5,0120,235, according to the government's computa tions. Mr. Carnlll, however, claims that his profits were not that large, ind based on the market value of the stock, which had enormously increased Iter the compuny struck oil and gas, his profit from the sale of his shares was $1,010,000. At par of $100 a share Mr. Carnlll's total holdings would be worth $40,000, but the government conceded that on March 1, 101.1. when Mr. Carnlll made his first purchase of 101 shares, the stock van orth $1000.5 a share, or core than ten times the par value.
