PHIL. EVENING LEDGER TO QUIT
Federal Court Decides to Have Newspaper Go
 Into Liquidation

Philadlphia, Jan. 6-UP)-A fed- eral court order to discontinue puo- lication today ended the attempts of the Evening Public Ledger to re- organize under the Chandler bank ruptcy act.
 The 27-year-old newspaper, pub lished by Robert Cressweu, former treasurer of the New York Herald- Tribune, had a circulation of 171,- 900.
 It filed reorganization petition Nov. 2, listing assets of $3,551, JAS, including cash of $29,541, and lia- bilities of $1,576,4 Three trustees were appointed to determine wheth- CT the firm could be successfully reorganized.
 Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who published the old Public Ledger, a morning newspaper, founded the Evening Public Ledger Sept. IA, 1914. In 1918, he purchased the Philadel- phia Evenin.. Telegraph and merged 1t with the Ledger.
 It was published with John C.. Martin as president for six years following Curtis death in 1883. In 1889, Stanley Walker, widely known New York newspaperman, became editor-i chief, succeeding Charles M. Morrison, who supplanted Mar tin in that year.
 Walker resigned Dec. 31, 1940, when the Ledger was sold by the Curtis estate to a syndicate head ed by Crrsswell. Cresswell was pub fisher and Morrison editor when the unsuccessful reorganization pro- cedure gan.
 The Public Ledger, morning fore. runner of the afternoon publica- ton, was sold shortly after Curtis death and merged with the Phila- delphia Inquirer.

YOUR Income Tax
NO. 2 INCOME TAX DON'TS

DON'T prepare your income tax return until you carefully read and understand the instructions accom- panying u e forms Make out a Work-shee' and check it with .he instructions before filling in the forms.
 DON'T delay in making out your income tax return. Tax problems deserve careful study, and the early assembling of your data capacities this.
 DON'T, if your gross income is S3 coo or less and is wholly from salary, wages, or other compensa- ton for 2rsonal services, dividends, interest, ent, annuities, or royal ties, file your return on Form 1040 without carefully considering the option to file the simplified Form 1040A, since the filing of your re- turn on either form in such case constitutes an election which pre- vents you from filing an amended return on the other form.
 DON'T overlook the fact that for the majority of taxpayers the tax lCi Aof4 N4Ai JN wv VI tlll lilllCo as much as for l940 and that it is- important for you to save out of your weekly or monthly earnings, or otherwise provide, sufficient amount to pay your tax when it De- comes due. For the calendar year 1941 the taN is payable on or be- fore March 16, 1942, or it may be paid in four equal installments on or befor~ March l6, June 15, Sep tember and December 15, 1922, respectively. If any installment is not paid when due, the whole amount of the tax unpaid is re- quired to be paid upon notice and demand from the Collector.
 DON'T c"'it any explanation or information that is essential to complete audit of your return. An ounce of care may save you pound of unnecessary expense, and f>%sS and annoyance both to you

CANNED MUSIC

AS the government moved against
James c. Petrillo on two fronts-a
senate investigation by the Inter
state Commerce Committee and in
junction proceedings in the federal
district court, a Chicago-the Gear
OF Music" again took the offensive
Petrillo, as president Of the Amer
lean Federation of Musicians, bann-
ed from radio the programs of the
students of the Cincinnati Conserv-
atory of Music, and withdrew per-
mission for his musicians to make
transcriptions to be used only once
Senator Clark of Idaho, who con-
ducts the senate investigation, de-
clared that if Petrillos ban re-
mained in effect ''every vestige of
phonograph music, in homes, res
taurants and business places, would
be destroyed" 1t was pointed out
that the government has been the
largest user of radio transcriptions,
in bond-selling campaigns and the
like. It was also stated that some
Of the most popular radio programs
("The Aldrich Family" "Singin'
SAM" etc. were threatened with
Punishment from the air.
Petrillo is trying to put an end
to competition by students and by
canned music" to his union mu-
sicians. The unions position is
that few musicians are used to
make records, which are then play
ed for profit by thousands of radio
stations and juke boxes, while 9TH
er musicians go jobless. He de-
mands that olive music" be played
on the radio, and that more jobs be
furnished musicians. Greatest suf-
ferers would be the small radio sta
tions where competent musicians
are not vailable.-Pathfinde
