New Delhi, India, July Sup
Mohandas K. Gandhi has appealed
to all Britons to cease hostilities
against Germany and to follow
methods of non-violence for adjust
ments between nations"
Gandhi, leader of millions of In
dams in their passive resistance fight
for independence, urged Britons mot
to enter in undignifled competition
with the Nazis in destructive power. "
His written appeal, sent to Lord
Linlithgok, viceroy of India, began,
I'm the name of God,," and ended
with that phrase.
Gandhi said he was placing his
services at the command of Britain
ito advance the object Of his APP

NEEDED, FIR. SAYS
Presidents Letter Points
Out Intelligent Citizens
Valuable A. Recruits

Parents of college students here
have received reprints of a let
ter written by President Roosevelt
to the Marion Institute. Marion.
Ala, in which the President says
it would be unfortunate if young
people, out of patriotism. interrupt
their education in order TO enlist in
the Army or Navy.
The letter follows:
Reports have reached me that
some young people who had
planned to enter college this fall,
as well as, a number of those who
attended college last year, are in
tending to interrupt their educa-
ton at this time because they feel
that it is more patriotic to work in
a shipyard, or to enlist in the
Army or Navy, than it is to attend
college. Such a decision would be
unfortunate.
I'VE must have well-educated
and intelligent citizens who have
sound judgment in dealing with the
difficult problems of today. We
must also have scientists, engi-
neers. economists, and other peo-
pie with specialized knowledge, to
plan and to build for national de.
tense as we'll as for social and eco
nomic progress. Young people
should be advised that it is their
patriotic duty to continue the nor
NAL curse of their education, un-
less and until they are called, so
that they will be well prepared for
greatest usefulness to their coun-
try. They will be promptly notified
if they are needed for other patrio-
tic services"

BY CHART .ES S. LOWRIMORE
COMPLETE RECORDS SHOULD
BE KEPT
C. p. A.

section 81 of the Internal Rev.
enue Code requires the following
with respect to accounting records:
Every person liable to any tax
imposed by this chapter or for
the collection thereof, shall keep
such records, render under oath
such statements, make such re-
turns, and comply with such rules
and regulations, as the Commits
sioner, with the approval of the
Secretary, may from time to time
prescribe"
The Commissioners regulations i.
LOB, section 19.41-3 prescribes in
part as follows: ut is recognized
hat no uniform method of account
ing can be prescribed for all tax
payers, and the law contemplates
that each taxpayer shall a d o p t
such forms and systems of &C.
counting as n n his judgement
best suited to his purpose. Each
taxpayer is required by law to
make a return of his true income.
He must, therefore, maintain such
accounting records as will enable
him to do So"
From the quotations above, it
is apparent that taxpayers should
keep complete and adequate rec.
ords of all income and expenses,
the extent of which is dependent
on each individual case. If the
items Of income and expense are
few, without complicated transac-
tons, bank records and check book
may be a sufficient and adequate
record. Bank statements and cam
celled checks should always be
carefully filed for reference, brok-
erage statements and other data
should be kept for at least five
years in North Carolina.
When the acquisition and dispo-
sition of capital assets, including
stocks, bonds and other securities
r involved, satisfactory evidence
pertaining to the cost. date of &C.
QUESTION, date of disposition, sales
price, and other supporting data
should be carefully preserved.
For those taxpayers who are en-
gagged in business it is of prime
Importance that all transactions be
recorded in accordance with sound
accounting principles. The Com
missioner has the authority under
the law, to compute the net in
come of a taxpayer under such
method as in his opinion will clear
ly reflect the taxable income. 2
