Failure to Receive Notice to Set
tie Does Not Clear Record Of Per-
son Who Made Return.

WASHINGTON, June 14-The Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue has ad
Hised every person who filed return
under the income tax provisions of the
war revenue bill. and from whom a tax
payment thereon is due the govern
ment. TO pay the tax before midnight
tomorrow. 1t is the safe way TO avoid
penalty. but it is not certain that
penalty Will accrue from a failure
TO pay because the law specifically pro-
vides for ten days notification be-
tore the penalty is imposed.
~ condensed reading of the law, as
accepted by tax experts, is as follows:
The tax Will be assessed by the
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue and
all persons notified OF the amount on
or before June /. The tax assessed
must be paid on or before June Is.
To any amount due and unpaid
after June 10. and for ten days after
notice and demand by the collector.
there will be added . per cent OF the
amount Of tax unpaid and interest at
the rate OF per cent a month"
In thousands OF cases all over the
country notification was not made on
or before June /. The department has
taken the attitude that every person
uhould have ten days in which to pay
his tax after notification is received
The Commissioner OF Interna! Revenue
holds. however. that If no notification
has been received by June 10, a person
who made a return and owes tax
should take II for granted that the no.
tice has been sent out, and should max
payment OF the tax before June %
