l Your  Tax
Extension for Filing Re- turns and Payment of
 Tax Is Explained

It is important that the taxpayer render on or before the due date, which is March l5 if the return is filed on the calendar year basis, a return of income as nearly compiese and final as it is possible for him to prepare.
 However. when by reason of ill- ness. absence from home, inability to secure the necessary data, or for other good and sufficient reasons additional time is required, req sonable extension of time may be granted. Application should be made in writing to the collector of in- ternal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer files his re- turns on or before the due date Of the return, full recital of the causes for the delay being given. Except in the case of taxpayers who are abroad, no extension may be granted for a period of more than 6 months.
 An extension of time for filing the return does not extend the time for payment of the tax, or any install ment thereof, unless so specified in the extension. Application for an extension of time for payment of the tax or any installment thereof should be made on form 1127 to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue through the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayers return is filed.
 The applicant should set forth under oath the specific reason for desiring an extension and should clearly indicate what hardship, if any would result if the extension were not granted. In addition, a statement of assets and liabilities showing the taxpayers financial condition as of the last day of the preceding month, or as of the close of the last taxable period, and a separate statement of receipts and

ROME, N. r., Mar. 12.-The mys- tery of Romes postoffice alligator has been solved, to the relief of postal workers whose burden of feeding the creatures has been shifted to the rightful, although unsuspecting owner-Delos A. Hum phrey.
 The alligator was discovered one day wandering about in the post office Postal workers not only had little idea of what to feed it, but could not discover where it came from.
 The mystery was finally unrav- |eled when box, empty and with Ia hole in it's side was discovered in the outgoing parcel post. It had been addressed to Humph- rey's son by an aunt of Pass-a- Grille Beach, Fla.

The Singing Marine" places Dick,
after his film training as a cadet at
West Point and middle at Annapolis,
in the third branch OF the service.
He's a lad with voice that sends
little lassies right to the arms Of their
boy friends, for which his buddies
ship him to a radio amateur hour,
from where he goes, quick like a fairy
tale, to riches, fame and troubles.
There's no call for any dramatic
acting and it's typical Dick Powell
performance, good -humored and full
Of smile and song and a touch of
pathos to make every gal in the au-
dience feel for the poor, dear boy.
(That's not complaint; it's just
statement of fact. We enjoy Mr..
Powell's make-believe)
THE outstanding feature Of The
Singing Marine" is its musical
score. The songs Dick sings are songs
you already are humming and
Whistling; songs you've heard on the
radio and in night clubs and liked.
He seems at his musical best when he's
selling Cause My Baby Says It's
So but he also does some mighty
pleasant warbling of You Can't
Escape From Love Tonight" THE
Lady Who Couldn't be Kissed" and
Moon Over Shanghai" There's an
other tune on the hit list, Il know
Now that's done to just the proper
turn by Newcomer Doris Weston.
That's quite a collection of songs
for one film, but this cinema is further
enhanced in a musical way by the
presence OF Larry Adler, whom Direc-
tor Ray Enright (bless him) has seen
ut to use often. The wizardry with
which Larry treats Night and Day"
on his harmonica is one Of the pic
lures highlights.
Enright has brought a deft direc-
torial touch into play. too, in his
guidance of the films two production
numbers. Ones glittering and ele-
CANT shipboard sequence that's
smooth and palatable entertainment
The other is a night club sequence
and Enright almost makes YOU be-
leVe you could see a Shanghai street
scene on the stage by his effective
lighting of the beginning and end
of the musical novelty.

touches which mark this interlude are
those which consist of trying to snug

ambulance, the creation of a me-

hats off of $4,000 spectators, turning
the race course into free parking

in the track which sends the other
entrants running wildly over the

course, but that is just what you pay

cursed with no such gadget, puts it
among the first two right now. The
only qualification of that estimate is
the admission that we've always been

ANOTHER CRIME SOLVED
BY FAMED NERO WOLFE
eThe League of Frightened Men"
at the Metropolitan for the
"Whodunit" Fans.

TT JUST does not seem right for Nero
Wolfe to sit around slipping choco-
late. He seemed so much more a ro-
bust and dangerous individual when he
kept the ice box filled with tankards of
nut-brown ale or whatever it was. OF
course Edward Arnold was the last
Nero Wolfe, while Walter Connolly is
playing him this time and chocolate
seems more in character with Mr.. Con-
molly If not with Nero. Anyhow, in
1.-THE League of Frightened Men," the
Metropolitan's new attraction, Mr.. Nero
Walter Connolly Wolfe sips his choco-
late and gets to the bottom of things,
uncovering the murderer and serving
him up on platter, garnished with
fresh details and sprig of surprise
exactly one hour and four minutes
from the first scream.
The suspense in the drama is en-
Hvened considerably by sinister per-
formance by Mr.. Eudardo Cianelli,
who Is so accomplished at being a
grim and rather scary individual he
almost makes you think he really is
the murderer. Think of that Mr.
Cianelli is so good you almost are
ready to believe he's committed all the
bloody deeds to which the picture is
dedicated, in the face of the we'll
known fact that no one so evidently a
killer could be the actual culprit in a
cinemystery.
There are lighter moments, too, con-
tributed by Lionel Stander, who plays
Nero Wolfe's stooge in manner that
makes you wonder how in the world
Nero ever got any place in the busi-
ness of crime detection. It's film
that should provide some good mo-
ments for the whodunit fans, cooked
up by these people and number Of
familiar and trustworthy Columbia
contract players. The only complaint
we could voice is that it is much too
easy to guess who the culprit is. It
Is 20 obvious that he is going to be
guilty, because he is the lesat suSpi-
cious, that We began to wonder If maybe
the people who made the picture
weren't trying to fool Us after all, and
