INCOME TAX ABC'S--

BY ALEXANDER II. GEORGE
Wide World Features Writer

WASHINGTON - About 100000
new members will be inducted-like
it or not-into the Federal income
tax club this year.
The government plays no Santa
Claus role in this income tax bust
ness, but it wants to make things as
easy as possible for these new tax
payers. The same goes for 100000
old contributors and 100000 other
persons who file returns but escape
because of legitimate deductions.
Uncle Sam expects you to re-
port all of your income, but he
also wants you to take every
permissible deduction and ex-
emption. You can be on the
level with your government and
fair to yourself too.
The big A in the ABC's of income
tax returns is to remember that ev-
cry single person whose gross in
come amounted to $3.50 or more, and
every married person whose gross
income was $500 or more in l94l
must file return.
Don't wait for the government to
send you return form. The forms
may be obtained from collectors of
internal revenue in the larger cities
and towns.
The first, and probably the
most important, money-saving
step is to consider carefully
whether it will be dolIar-wise to
make out return on the older,
more complete form 1910 or on
the new, simplied form 1040A.
You may use either form if your
gross income is $4,000 or less and is
from salary, wages. other compensa-
ton for personal services; dividends,
interest, annuities, rent or royalties.
For a majority of small-income
taxpayers, the use of one form or
the other will mean only differ
ence of a dollar or two. Thousands,
however. will save tidy sum if they
figure out which form is more ad-
yantageous.
In any case, don't delay too long
in making out your return. You will
want to take all the deductions pos
sible in this year of heavily increaS-
ed taxation. You may save money
as well as avoid worry and con-
fusion by doing the job when you
have plenty of time to do it thor
oughly and accurately.

Two Forms).

Potomac Park
DormitoryP|a
Hit by Leaders
Army, Navy Parking
Lots Urged os Sites
For Housing Units

District recreation leaders today
urged the Public Buildings Adminis-
tration to spare the public's play
space in Potomac Park when con- y
structiop of girls dormitories Is
started there soon-by using the
huge and almost vacant War and
Navy parking lots as an alternative
site for as many buildings as pos
sible.
Those advocat ting use of the 90
acre parking space formerly the
polo field, were Milo F. Christian
sen, District superintendent of rec
reation, and Harry S. Wender, chair
man Of the city's recently created
Recreation Board.
Construction of dormitories may
begin next week Today President
Roosevelt signed a $12000,000 ap-
preparation for 81 dormitories in
Potomac Park and elsewhere in the
District and in Arlington, Va.
Golf Course to Be One Site.
PBA plans to construct eight
dormitories, housing 3,617 women
war workers, in two groups, on what
is now the West Potomac golf
course and on Hains Point site
where the Office of National Capital
Parks hoped to lay out baseball.
football and soccer fields, replacing
others taken by Government con-
struction.
Mr.. Wender said the dormitory .
scheme "is the first effort to take
away the peoples recreation facil-
tiles since our Recreation Board was
formed" one month ago. He de-
clared he would confer with Public
Buildings Commissioner William E.
Reynolds today in an effort to have
at least some of the dormitories
shifted to the white elephant"
parking lot. The parking area was
built by the Navy and War Depart
ments five months ago at cost OF
about $115 600, but it's 2,606 spaces
abe filled to only II per cent of ca
pacity, according to official surveys.
Mr. Christensen declared that
Washington recreation facilities
were badly contracted when the old
polo field was covered with asphalt
| for parking The field had not re-
Gently been used for polo, he pointed
out.
Softball Brought Thousands.
"We had converted it into 10 soft
ball diamonds, and frequently there
were 10 games going on at once" he
said. Thousands of people partici-
| pated, and thousands we're specta-
tors. Regular league schedules were
played there.
I'm the fall the field was used for
football and touch football" Mr..
Christensen recalled Altogether,
the field was in use from April until
December-about the time it was
taken over for parking by cars that
never showed up"
There is no sense in repeating
mistakes" he commented. Beyond
question, it would be more desirable
to place dornitories on the land we
have already lost than to take more
