ONE VICTIM GIVES
 AID TO ANOTHER
Frederick B. Snite Giving Benefit for Poor Sufferer
 With Paralysis

Miami Beach, Fla, Feb. 18.-(UP) Frederick B. Snite, Jr., whose fam ily's wealth saved his life when he was stricken with infantile par alysis five years ago, was busy today with plans to help a less fortunate fellow victim, a 24-year old electrician with wife, two children and no money.
 Fred, the boiler kid" from Chi cago, already has provided Steve Happney with two of his own new small chest respirations which per- init the massaging of muscles which could not be reached while the young Miami father was in the iron lung at Jackson Memorial hos pital.
 But Fred did not think that was enough. So on Feb. 27 he will stage and attend in person a bene- fit dinner dance at the Beach, comber restaurant in an effort to raise funds to purchase Steve a small home where he can be re- united with his wife, now working and their children, who are living with relatives. Some of the money also will go for braces and other equipment needed to boost Steve along the road to recovery.
 The husky, good-natured Happ- ney was stricken with infantile paralysis four years ago. His life was saved by the iron lung pre- sented to the hospital by a local American Legion post.
 Freds committee for the bene- fit includes Robert N. Leppert, a Miami insurance agent who was one of his classmates at Notre Dame and Dennis R. Scanlon, Swedish surgical instrument manufacturer who inventor the small chest res- pirator.
 Meanwhile, Scanlon reported de- velopment of a new mechanism which permits a variation of the breathing pulsations of the chest respirator so that the patient may receive oxygen in more than one manner. Fred, who has served as guinea pig" for most of Scanlon's experiments in the development o1 the chest respirator, experienced the new variable breathing for the first time yesterday

TIPS ON YOUR INCOME TAX
Special Defense Levy Adds 10 Per Cent IOf Tax Itself Not Of Taxable Income

Conscientious ObjectOrs may as well forget all about their Objec- tiOns to the Defense Tax.
 The second of six short articles outlining the most common er- TOTS of income tax payers. BY NEA Service
 This years income tax blanks have another new feature, the spe- cial Defense Tax. That's to help Uncle Sam pay for his new army and navy.
 Lots of people misunderstood it, even taxpayers of long standing. It is a 10 per cent Defense Tax. The basic income tax rate for moderate income is 4 per cent. The new 10 per cent Defense Tax doesn't mean that the rate has been upped to IA per cent. It means that you are taxed 4 per cent, and then you add 10 per cent of whatever amount that figures out to be. For instance, if your income tax figures out at $40, you take 10 per cent of that $40 as a Defense Tax, and add it to the $40, making total tax ot $44.
 It's easy to see how this is mis- understood. IT you'll look at your blank, form 1O40-A or 1040, you'll see that the Defense Tas is the last item, on either one. The regular tax Is figured as usual, coming

 down to Balance of Income Tax" (Item 34 on 1040, and Item 20 on 1O40-A). well, 'Balance of Income Tax" sounds kind of final, and people tend to start writing their check at that point. You must, however, make that last calcula- ton of the Defense Tax, and add 1t to the regular income tax to make up the final total.
 Some returns have already come in from conscientious cbjectors, who say they are against war, and against being drafted into the army because they do not believe in war, and that therefore they can't pay any Defense Tax, either. The draft law has 8 provision for genuine conscientious objectors, but not the revenue law. The income tax man won't recognize any conscientious objections.
