WASHINGTON VP) — Demo
cratic leaders in the House say
they pay state income taxes to
their home jurisdictions — and
evidently they want this known.
House Speaker Carl Albert, D-
Okla., surprised reporters at his
daily news conference Monday
when the subject of President
N i x o n’s finances came up. He
said he is paying $875 each quar
ter to Oklahoma on his estimated
1973 state tax liability.
Democratic Majority Leader
Thomas P. O’Neill Jr., said he is
paying Massachusetts about $2,-
000 a year.
Whip John J. McFall said he is
sending more than $600 each
quarter to California, which is
also Nixon’s voting residence.
Deputy Whip Jim Wright said
his home state of Texas has no
income tax, but he pays “all ap
plicable taxes” including property
taxes.

OUT-A-SITE SALADS CHEESECAKES
NEW YORK UP) — A teen
age delivery boy who got pawn
tickets and other items from an
aged widow who couldn’t afford
to tip him in cash has become
wealthy because of his acts of
kindness to the woman.
So far he has realized almost
$50,000 from autioning the
pawned items and there are more
thousands to come.
At one point, even the wash
ing machine had a 17th century
silver-gilt tray on it and Jackie’s
mother complained “stop bring
ing this junk in the house.”
When an expert from Sotheby
Parke-Bernet, the w o r 1 d’s top
auction house, a p p r a i s e d it,
Jackie’s father telephone his
wife at work and said:
“Mama — you know that piece
of junk you were going to throw
out? It’s worth $7,500.”
“She cried. She couldn’t be
lieve it,” said the boy, now 19 and
a sophomore at City University’s
Bernard Baruch College.
How did this odd tale start?
“She was a $1 tipper and me
and my friend used to to fight
about who’d get the delivery,”
Jackie said. “I won.
“It was like a fantasy, that
apartment. It was piled with
crates and boxes up to the ceil
ing. There was just a narrow
path from the door to her chair,
and then to her bed and then to
the kitchen.
“It was all from the mansion
she used to have on Fifth Ave
nue.”
The woman, who died at 81 last
Feb. 5 in New York Hospital, was
Mrs. Thomas Field who lived in
the Fifth Avenue house until she
was widowed in the 1930s. Her
husband had been an investor.
Eventually Mrs. Field was re
duced to a basic $500-a-month in
come — from a mortgage she held
on her former summer estate —
$250 of which went for rent for
the studio apartment.
It was there that she began
tipping with pawn tickets.
“The first one was for $2,000,”
Jackie said. It turned out to be a
diamond ring and Cartier ap
praised it at $7,500.
An auction sale brought $36,000
which Jackie put into a trust ac
count. Another sale brought $3,-
000 “which I blew' it. I went to
Florida and bought a lot of
clothes.”
In the meantime, Mrs. Field
died. Her will made Jackie sole
heir to the contents of the apart
ment and to the $500 a month.
