O’Harra Charged
With Tax Evasion
FAIRBANKS, (A>) — Kenn e t h
O'Harra, president of the O’Harra
Transportation Co., was arraigned
in commissioner’s court this week
on two counts charging income
tax violation.
The complaint was set up by
the federal district court in the
State of Washington, where head
quarters of the Alaska-Washing
ton internal revenue office are lo
cated at Tacoma.
O’Harra and his wife Audrey,
who is secretary-treasurer of the
company, are charged with filing
in March, 1944, a false income tax
return representing gross receipts
of operations for 1943 as $135,709,
instead of $181,363, which the
government contends is the cor
rect figure.
An excess profits tax return
shows net income of $3,300, with
tax of $832. The government
charges net income should have
been $58,690, with $9,088 due in
taxes.
O’Harra is held in the federal
jail with bail set at $1,500. Au
thorities said his wife would be
brought back on a warrant from
Toledo, Ore.
The company, which operated
here several years, has been in
receivership two years.
Gene Joiner, bush pilot from
Kotzebue has returned from Mex
ico where he spent several months
on vacation recuperating from, it
is reported, frosted lungs. He
states that the world is a small
place as far as Nomeites are con
cerned as he even ran into some
in Mexico, namely Dr. J. Tucker
and Ralph Lomen, who were as
surprised to see him as he was to
see them.
