IRS staffs cuts could hurt hurt rest of goverment By JIM LUTHER AP Tax Writer WASHINGTON Congressional auditors said yesterday that the rest of the government could be the loser if the Reagan administration Succeeds in cutting the staff of the Internal Revenue Service an agency already hurt by balky corn puterd, delayed refunds and a mountain of unanswered mail. The IRS, which generates $lOO for each 50 cents it spends, is not just another agency, said Johnny C. Finch of the General Accounting Office; it collects 90 percent of the , government's money. IRS Commissioner Roscoe L. Egger Jr. said the agency will make up for the budget cut by increasing productivity through advanced data processing and oth er measures. He defended the re duction as. "in keeping with the desire of the administration to achieve a freeze in spending across the board." He said taxpayer compliance is dropping, the number of returns is rising and accounts owed the IRS are increasing, but still the agen cy's 1986 budget would be less than in 1980. say goodbye? Pickle and other members of the panel indicated they see little sense in reducing the IRS budget by $30.4 million, to $3.5 billion, and its work force by 1,254 positions, to 86,489 during the budget year that begins Oct. 1. And Egger answered "Yes, of course" when asked whether the IRS could make efficient use of more money. President Reagan's budget would delay until 1987 the start of a program of adding 7,500 new audi tors to the IRS. "Why don't, we tell the' adminis tration that ... a freeze here hurts the deficit instead of helping the deficit," said Rep. Beryl Anthony, D-Ark. Egger, reflecting the fact his agency is struggling through the most problem-plagued tax-filing season in recent history, amended the "I am pleased to be with you today':. portion of his written testi mony, to "I am willing to be here today." He made these points: —"Appropriate investigatory and other action is being taken" in the case of a supervisor in the IRS service center in Austin, Texas, who late last year ordered destruc tion of 6,000 documents. There is no evidence any returns were de stroyed, said Egger, adding that most of the documents apparently were taxpayer correspondence. Al though officials at Austin, where returns for the Southwest are proc .essed, were aware of the incident in January, Egger said he first learned of it last Friday when it appeared in newspapers. —The IRS has overcome most of the computer problems that have delayed processing of tax returns and authorization of refunds all year. IRS officials say, however, that 12 weeks may be required to process some returns; in the past most that resulted in refunds were processed in eight to 10 weeks. —Most of the 700 IRS offices expect to reduce their backlog of unanswered taxpayer mail to man ageable levels within the next few weeks; the ultimate goal is that no taxpayer have to wait more than 30 days to have a letter . answered. Already, Egger added, there is progress. The Brookhaven, N.Y., service center, which had 238,000 unanswered letters at the end of December, now has about 90,000. The Philadelphia center has 92,000, down from 148,000 at year-end. I.)bh betche r beellen( s flee 0870/ckos honkers. it's •be ueck to - next retovo_ . Pellefe" Peers to thg: ,Ifre.poze st2?p.) Brother sues over lottery ticket TRENTON, N.J. (AP) One brother has sued another for what the first calls his rightful share of a winning New Jersey instant lottery ticket worth $3,000 a month for life. Reginald Leone of Rockaway claims in the suit that while at a liquor store, he and his brother, Ronald, agreed to buy jointly two "Three-of-a-Kind" instant lottery tickets. "Reggie wants his brother to live a' long, healthy life," said Reginald Leone's lawyer, Barry Maurer. "But he also wants what's due him." The brothers were en route to a family party with their wives on March 1 when they stopped at Spirits Unlimited in Howell Town ship and Ronald, who lives in the Sussex County town of Augusta, suggested purchasing the tickets, the suit says. Reginald paid his brother his $1 share "though an adjustment of the money paid by each of them for the alcoholic beverages purchased at the liquor store and for backed goods also purchased on the evening of March 1," the suit claims. Four break away with $8 million NEW YORK ( AP) Four armed men broke through a wall and overpowered guards at a Wells Fargo terminal early yesterday, then fled in an armored truck with about $8 million in cash, police said. Another $l2 million was left behind, authorities said. First reports estimated the loss at $25 million to $5O million, but Chief of Detectives Richard Nicastro said later at a news confer ence, "They removed approximately $8 million from the prem ises." The previous record for.a cash robbery in the United States is $ll million, also from an armored car company. The four men, armed with handguns, stole the truck from the company's garage in lower Manhattan at about 1:30 a.m., said police spokesman Sgt. Ed LeSchack. "It's the largest (robbery) that I've ever heard of," LeSchack said. The thieves ordered four armed guards at gunpoint to open a vault where the money was held, then handcuffed the men to a hand truck and loaded the cash onto the van, according to Chief Robert Johnston, chief or operations for the Police Department. Reagan reaffirms cemetary plan WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan, on the eve of depart ing for a 10-day European trip, declared firmly yesterday he will visit a German cemetery where Nazi SS soldiers are buried and said the upro . ar over the controversial stop will not ruin his summit meeting with six other world leaders. Vice President George Bush, meanwhile, called on the nation to support Reagan in what he said "has been a very difficult time for everyone and especially so for the president." Bush said, "The time has come for understanding and, in my view, for support of the president of the United States." The vice president promised that Reagan "will make clear to the world that he understands the lessons of history, that he knows we can never let time blur over memories, and that we must not be unclear about the deep truths learned in World War II." Reagan sets out tomorrow night on an overnight flight to Bonn, West Germany, for the annual summit of the seven major industri alized democracies, where he hopes to nail-down a date for the start of a new round of international trade talks. The journey also includes state visits in West Germany, Spain and Portugal and a speech in Strasbourg, France, on the 40th anniversary of Germany's surrender in World War 11. Zaccaro. asks to keep license NEW YORK (AP) John Zaccaro defended his real estate practices yesterday and asked a state hearing officer not to suspend his broker's license, saying "J think I suffered enough." Zaccaro, husband of former Democratic vice presidential candi date Geraldine Ferraro, testified at a hearing into charges of "untrustworthiness and incompetency" arising from a real estate deal last year. He pleaded guilty in, January to a misdemeanor charge in the case. Zaccaro, 52, said his real estate business has suffered since his wife's campaign focused intense scrutiny on his dealings. "I have to start my business all over again," he told Barry Bohan, hearing officer for the state Department of State. "It has hurt. I have not really made any money for the last six or eight months." Among other things, Zaccaro said, he has reduced his business managing apartment buildings for fear that publicity surrounding his business would prompt residents' complaints. The hearing dealt with Zaccaro's attempts to help a client buy five apartment buildings. Gorbachev promises Nicaragua , aid MOSCOW ( AP) Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev promised Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega assistance on urgent econom ic problems yesterday. But the Kremlin did not publicly say if it would give Ortega the emergency cash he reportedly wants. Official Soviet reports on the meeting also did not mention military aid to Nicaragua, in keeping with the Kremlin's usual secrecy on such questions. The reports focused instead on Soviet and Nicaraguan com plaints about U.S. policy in Latin America, accusing the Reagan administration of turning the region "into a dangerous seat of tension." The United States accuses the Sandinistas of imposing a Marxist dictatorship on Nicaragua. A Reagan administation request for $l4 million to aid rebels fighting the Sandinistas was rejected by the House of Representatives last week. A Nicaraguan source, who spoke on condition he not be identified, has said Ortega came to Moscow seeking $2OO million in emergency cash to counter O.S. economic sanctions imposed over the past four years and pay to for food and other necessities. South Africa rioting kills six JOHANNESBURG , South Africa (AP) Police reported rioting in at least 15 black townships, with six people killed, and union leaders met with management yesterday to discuss the thousands of gold miners who were fired for striking illegally. National police headquarters in Pretoria reported four blacks killed in rioting Sunday and early yesterday, in addition to two killed earlier in the weekend. One victim, a policeman, was attacked by a mob, strangled and set afire. Most of the townships in which rioting was reported were in the . eastern Cape Province where agitation against the white govern ment's apartheid system of race segregation has continued for weeks. In the largest mass dismissal in memory, the Vaal Reefs Gold Mine fired 14,500 black workers after weeks of unrest. At the adjacent Hartebeestfontein Gold Mine, 3,000 black miners were dismissed for taking part in an illegal strike last week. . The National Union of Mineworkers, a three-year-old black union, met with officials of Anglo American Corp., the owner of Vaal Reefs, at the mine 95 miles west of Johannesburg. The union called the weekend firings `,'a breach of good faith" that could have been avoided if negotiations had continued. Errol Symons, an official of Anglo American, said the weeks of turmoil at the mine had cost 20 million rand ($lO million) in lost production. He said the company "bent over backward" to find solutions to a variety of grievances, but an illegal strike last week forced the dismissal of a third of the work force of 40,000. u growing part of State College TV Supply 23:-6021 ACORN 232 S.
