Second Deportation Hearing For Frank Meissner Planned
Washington correspondent reports a second deportation hearing is planned for Frank Meissner a 26 year old Czechoslovak who arrived in Cedar Rapids in January 1949. Meissner came on a non quota visa and faces deportation for immigration act violations after a prior Omaha hearing was voided due to an arrest warrant issued by immigration authorities. He studied at Iowa State College and was sponsored by Rev. Andrew Kurth of Westminster Church. The case hinges on non quota eligibility and Meissner’s alleged role as a research fellow rather than a professor. Authorities say the hearing dates are pending but expedited.

Withholding Tax On Co-Ops Will Raise Problems
Washington observers foresee tax haggles as Ways and Means drags on with no bill likely this session. A 10 percent withholding on co-op dividends and patronage refunds could complicate accounting for farmers, as IRS rules treat some refunds as taxable income while others are rebates not taxed. The proposal risks leaving co-ops to decide what is taxable, potentially $20 million yearly for the treasury.
