Recently he purchased two weekly
newspapers at Marion, Va, his pres

Record Of Billion
In March Income Tax
Collections Seen
Returns for Month Lost
Year Were 665 Million;
Exemptions Lower Now
Nv the Associated Prnsk.

BY the Associated Press.
With the deadline for income tax
returns a week away, offlcials con-
fldently predicted yesterday that
March collections would zoon to a
record total of 100000, 900.
In March last year, collections
were s665,000000. But this year
exemptions have been lowered, tax
rates increased, and better business
has provided more taxable income
than the country has seen in years.
Early returns, while far from con-
elusive, have stimulated guesses Of
high collections. In the first few
days Of March, collections were 80
per cent ahead of the similar period
last year. While the percentage
for the month is expected to fall
considerably short Of this figure. the
indication was sufficiently optimis-
tic to cause revision of the $780,
100000 estimate for the month in
dicated by the budget.
100000 Expected to File.
About 100000 Americans are
expected to file individual income
tax returns, and about 3,500,00 COR
porations are expected to file cor
porate returns. About 100000 Of the
corporations also will be required to
file excess profits tax returns.
OF all these returns, as many as
half may show no taxable income
but the taxable ones will be by far
the most numerous in history.
A majority of all the returns,
particularly those with large tax
payments. are expected this week.
The Treasury has added 3.70o extra
agents to handle the rush.
Exemptions Reduced.
Principal change in the income
tax this year was the reduction
In personal exemptions. The FAM
lily head who used to deduct S2,500
can take only $4,000 now The
single person who had a $1,000 ex-
emption can claim only $500. All
other credits and deductions are the
same as before.
Rates are much sitter. The nor
NAL" tax is still per cent, but
surtaxes, which range from 4 to rs
per cent, have been raised in nu-
merous brackets. And on top Of
both these taxes has been added G.
defense tax" of 10 per cent. Under
this levy. a person figures his tax
as before and then adds 10 per

When the boys at Universal

that's exactly what they turn out.
Hero of their latest excursion into
pseudo-scientiflcation, the Metro
politan's Man Made Monster" is
a fellow who lights up spectacu-
larly like a Neon sign and goes
about electrocuting people. What
could be more shocking? Probably
1t was inspired by that fable of the
man who grabbed the high-ten-
sion wire and later claimed he felt
no Ill effects but every time he
kissed his wife her ears lit up.
The theory that's the cause of
it all is that the body can build
up immunity to electricity the
same way it builds up immunity
to disease through vaccination. At
least that is what this DR.. Rigas
claims, and since he really is Lionel
Atwill, who, by this time, no doubt
develops a mad gleam in his eye
whenever he gets within 100 yards
Of any laboratory, we're not going

see for yourself, right there at the

than an interesting experiment in

that the eXperimenter tosses in a
bit of hypnosis and makes a mur-
derer of his human f1ref1y. The
electric chair, however, is nothing
to end the career of this high
voltage dope fiend. He just breathes
in new life's juices from the hot
seat and lights up all over again.
Most amazing these adventures,

young CLANCY to turn in the most
