Washington. Sept. ZAP In
formed legislators said today a
joint Senate-House conference COM
mittee had agreed to lower personal
income tax exemptions and thus re-
quire an estimated 4,9ll,0 600 add
tional persons TO make out income
tax returns next year.
The reduced exemptions, which
would cut married persons tax-free
annual income from $4,000 to $500
and that OF single individuals from
$500 TO $3.50, was written in by
the Senate and was estimated by
the Treasury to yield 1903, 100000
a year.
Only about s4O,OO)0OO of the ad-
ditional revenue would be paid by
new taxpayers, Finance Committee
experts said. The remainder would
come from persons already paying
income taxes, in the form of in
creased payments.
The committee estimated that,
because of deductions such as for
charitable contributions. only 2.256.-
600 additional persons actually
would have TO pay income levies
next year. 1t was estimated that
more than 22.000,00O returns would
be filed and that about 100000
would be taxable.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April City
Manager Cerl Budwesky said today
he had received numerous applica-

to the police force.
Six appointments, for which $6 500
has been allocated, are for the reg
ular police force. Four others are
for night jobs as guards at the gen.
Grating plant of the Virginia Pub
lie Service Co. The salaries of
these guards, who would be regu-
larly accredited officers of the city
police force, will be paid by the serv-
ice company. The move was au-
thorized by the City Council after
the company said measures should
be taken to prevent sabotage.
