Theee trained Red Cross workers are located in aril army and navy stationa, hospitals and training: camps, specially schooled for griving this personal «H)|rtnnri» T%ey go where the men go, on maneuvers, on the fighting front*." Baxter said that field staffs, considerably expanded in the past two years to meet increased needs of the growing" armed forces, now nuaaper more than 250 field directors and assistant directors, who handle problems of the able-bodied, while about 200 professionally trained women are engaged in Red Cross activities in army and navy hospitals. Working together with the field staffs are trained home service workers in Red Cross chapters-in the men's home communities throughout the country, he said. "A service man's personal problems can be many and varied," Baxter pointed out. "Serious illnesses and deaths in the family back home, and financial troubles cause (lie most frequent requests." He outlined a typical case. "A soldier stationed at a training camp receives a wire or letter reporting his mother, or father, or wife seriously ill at home, possibly hundreds of miles away. He considers going home, applies to his commnadtng officer for a furlough, and together they present the problem to the camp's Red Cross Add director. The director wires the chapter in the soldier'n home to^fti. "A chapter representative, who ia a trained home service worker, visits the family home, also calling on the attending physician. The physician'? report on the sick person's condition is obtained. If the seriousness of the case warrants, military authorities will, upon receiving verification from the chapter, grant an emergency furlough. "The Red Cross field jdirector loans the soldier money for transportation home if needed, helps him arrange transportation schedules, does every, thiq^r gopsfole to speed his trip home. • fQaife freewfaHy a chapter visit to the heme dfafckaee the illness to be not as fi^ioas-as at fast believed. As the official military welfare agency of the army and navy, the Bed Cross ia responsible for furnishing family reports needed by the military authorities to deterrrir?> whether furloughs ean .be granted for emergencies."

For service men in hospitals of the army and navy, Baxter said, the Red Cross also maintains a program of medical-social casework, and provides reoratinn for convalescents. Trained volunteers from nearby chapters assist in this work. Other services of the armed forces, conducted on a nation-wide basis, include enrollment of medical technologists. trained nurses, blood donors for the blood plasma resorvoir, the famishing of surgical dressings produced by volunteers, and the supplying of recreation equipment to army camps and naval stations. "Many chapters," Baxter said, "have been swamped recently with requests from relatives or friends to assist in obtaining Information about U.& fighters or civilians in the Pacific war zone. "There's little the Red Cross can do at present to furnish information about men in service. The army and navy, ior obvious reaaons, cannot afford to divulge such information which might be useful to the enemy. However, a number of Red Cross inquiries about civilians in the war zone have been successfully handled. Efforts are being made to improve this service, now slow and uncertain," due I partly to military priority to tele-1 graphic and cable services, and partly j to shifting of populations in the ! bombed areas. Before approaching Red Cross chapters, inquirers seeking information about civilians are urged first to try the existing means of com* munication." Months before the Pearl Harbor attack, th:> Hawaiian Red Cross had set up first aid stations, accumulated reserve stocks of clothing, medical supplies and food for handling emergencies likely to be caused by bombing attacks and resulting mass evacuation of civilians.

The burden falls on the shoulders of the two major fiscal committees of* the Senate and House to authorize billions in Federal expenditures and to provide revenue laws. The committees dealing with military and naval affairs are also active.

From this week until March, The Plaindealer will print these articles, which include questions most often «»ked bv the taxpayers, and the answers to those questions. Q. Who moat file a return? A.

Savings in excess of a billion dollars has been recommended by the Joint Congressional Committee on Non-essen- • tial Expenditures. | Tax experts concede that it is difficult to predict what sort of a revenue measure will emerge from the hearings. The Treasury is expected to devote some time to an explanation of the principles of war taxation before settling down to "brass tacks." Some of their propoesals will be designed to provoke public reaction and to guide the refinement by Congressional definition. The House has been advised that the with-holding tax, by which money due the government ia held out of salaries and wages by the employer, should be studied immediately. The general sales tax of from one to three per cent has also gained some support in recent months from organizations which heretofore opposed the plan. It seems inevitable that taxes levied directly upon business are due for an upward revision in rates. Welding an efficient war machine is not an easy accomplishment.

The question of providing adequate protection for chrfHana In war is a touchy political subject, especially with hundreds of eager volunteers in all localities. The Army itself is reluctant to take over any functions which might divert their personnel from regular military duties. In areas along the const which are considered strictly military cones of operation they have no hesitancy in co-ordinating armament and evacuation plans but are disposed to leave the other jobs to properly organised and trained civilian agencies.

The control of rents is a feature which will need careful administration to hurdle the complication inherent in a government function of this kind.

Amendments will come later when the need is urgent. The program which will develop from the A. F. of L. executive committee meeting here this week is anxiously watched in governmental and industrial circles. The efforts of the . Automotive unions to take over con- "trol of the war production activities in motor car plants is viewed with alarm. Investors and management feel that it is part of a scheme to strengthen the hold of unions on business and provide a membership sales substitute for the non-strike policies which, the war forced upon the trade unions. Business men who have risen to their posts as managers contend the union leaders are not qualified to operate plants or have the final word. It is argued that it is one thing to recruit membership for a union and nejgotiate wage agreements and an en. tirely different matter to assume re- %ponSibility for turning out articles of war to vast quantities. computation of the turtax net income. Forms for filing returns of income for 1942 have been sent to persons who flled returns last year. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve a taxpayer of hia obligation to file his return and pay the tax on time--on or before March 16 if the return is made on the calendar-year basis, as is the case with most individuals. Forms may be obtained upon request, written or personal, from the offices of collectors and from deputy collectors of internal revenue in the lanrer cities and towns. A person should file his return on Form 1040. unless his gross income for 1941 does not exceed $8,000 and consists wholly of salary, wages, or other condensation for personal services. dividend®, interest, rent, annuities, or royalties, in which event he may elect to file it on Form 1040A, a simplified form on which the tax may b* reilltl§rH*eertafned by reference to a t*ble contained in the form. The return must be filed with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer has his !«g*l residence or principal place of business on or before midnight of March 16. 1942. The tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return or in four equal installments, due on or before March 16, June 15, September 15, and December 15. In making oat your income tax return read carefully tfce instructions that accompany the fbna.
