...Hollywood habit of turning income tax matters over to "counselors" who promise to save a taxpayer large sums provided the benefits are equitably divided, has now led to a terrifying state of affairs. Two such "counselors" for cinema folk, Miss Marjorie Berger and Edward H. Hayden, were last week indicted by a U.
