DONORS OF $1,000
WARNED To FILE
Tax Reports Due March is
Rules Made, but Won't Be
Ready by Then.
By the Associated Press.


All donors of gifts in excess Of ST, 5000
in 1885 have been warned by Guy +.
Helvering, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, to file gift tax returns be-
fore March 16, even though no tax is
due.
Regulations governing the payment
of such taxes have been promulgated,
Helvering said, but will not be avail
able for general distribution until after
returns are due.
Bona fide assignments of life in
surance policies will be regarded as
gifts, the regulations say, "even though
the right of the assignee or beneficiary
to receive the proceeds is conditioned
upon his surviving the insured"
This provision does not apply to
gifts of policies which carry a power
of revocation, such as the right to re-
call or cancel the policy, the right to
obtain loan against the policy or its
surrender value, or right to change the
beneficiary or assignee.
If there is an -irrevocable gift of a
life insurance policy and the insured
thereafter pays the premiums, each
premium payment is considered a gift.
Since gifts of future interest" in
property must be reported, even though
less than $4,000 in value, another i'm
portant ruling is that gifts of life in
surance premiums, which are very
numerous in small amounts, are not
considered gifts of future interest"
and therefore not reportable.
The tax rates begin at l12 per cent
on net gifts not in excess of $4,000
and are graded upward to 521a per
cent on gifts of more than $4,000, 900.

PICTURE REPRODUCTION
OVER RADIO APPROVED
Facilities Being Built for Sending
Facsimiles From New York
to Philadelphia.

By the Associated Press.
The Radio Corp. of America is con-
structing facilities for facsimile or
still pictures" transmission from New

be made of the service in its expert
mental stage, it was said in informed

commission would be necessary before
it could be placed in full commercial

New York and Philadelphia, officials
said, r. G. A. might seek to extend
them to Washington and Baltimore.
As explained by F. c. c. engineers,
the new service would transmit mes
sages on tape similar in appearance
to present ticker tape.
No printer would be used however,
but images Of messages themselves
