INSURANCE STOCKS

away at school or on a visit, that is still "one household" and the exemption is allowed. If it is un- avoidable for parent to keep his dependent children with relatives, or in a boarding house, while he lives elsewhere-that constitutes "one household" But person who gives the dependent of another a home is not, under the income tax regulations, the head of family.
 Another term that may be, in some cases, confusing or perplex- ing to many taxpayers is living to- gether," in the case of husband and wife. Again the income tax regula- tions are liberal ill interpreting a phrase which, precisely defined, might do an injustice to taxpayer. When common home is main- tained, and it becomes necessary for the husband to be away on business occasionally and temporarily, or the wife is absent on visit, the $500 exemption still applies. The rela- tion is not changed, neither is the exemption forfeited. if either hus- band or wife is mavoidably con- fined in sanatorium.

YOU R Income Tax
WHAT IS A FAMILY?
 Nh 1O

"In one household" is a phrase which confronts many taxpayers when they make out their income tax returns. What do the regula- tions mean when they classify as the head of family one who act ually supports and maintains "in one household" certain number of dependents for which he is allowed a personal exemption of $500 as the head of family?
 Income tax regulations are not narrow ill interpreting this phrase. It may mean the taxpayers per- sonal residence, an apartment, rooms in a boarding house, living quarters in q hotel, or such other place as She or he may occupy as a temporary or permanent resi- dence.
 It is not always necessary that a taxpayer and his dependents live under one roof the entire year in order that he be allowed the ex- emption given the head of family. If the common home Is maintained and the parent is away much of the time on business or a child is

PRICE CONTROL
 BILL IS PASSED
Seven Months Fight Ended as Bill Reaches Presi=
 dent for Signature
BY JOHN R. BEAL United Press Staff CorrespOndent

Washington, Jan. 28-(UP)-A A price control bill carrying broad authority to fix price ceilings on manufactured commodities goes to President Roosevelt for his sigma ture today = seven months to the day after he asked Congress for authority to control prices.
 The bill is not what MT. Roose- welt wanted because it limits Price Administrator Leon Henderson's authority to keep down the price on farm products.
 Senatee acceptance, 65 to IA, last night of a conference report end ed long congressional battle be- tween administration forces and the farm bloc. In the end both sides got most of what they want ed.
 MT. Roosevelt is expected to sign the bill immediately and it will then give legal authority to Hen derson's efforts to control prices and combat inflationary trends.
 The bill directs the price admin strator to attempt to keep prices at the same general level as pre- vailed from Oct. 1 to 15, 1941, and to kepe rents in defense housing areas at approximately the April 1, 1941 level
 Act Enforcement
 He may license commodity deal CTS as means of enforcing the act, and violators are subject to a maximum penalty of $5,000 and two years imprisonment, as well as to civil suits for triple damages. The government also is authorized, for second violation, to use court procedure to revoke violator's license, thus putting him out of business.
 Henderson, however, could oper- ate without the licensing system If he found he did not need 1t and in any event would be compelled to give a license to anyone who asked. Farmers and fishermen may oper- ate without licenses.
 The bill contains four minimum ceilings below the highest of which 1t is specifically forbidden to fix farm prices - and then only with the prior approval of Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard. They are: no per cent of parity; the market price of Oct. l, 194l, or of Dec. 15, l94l; or the average market price prevailing from 1919 to 1929.
 Most farm commodities would be affected by the llO per cent of par ity limitation. Cotton would be per mitted to rise to the 1919 to 1929 average level -- which would mean price of PA cents pound. No Wage Regulations
 The bill carries no regulation of wages, and Henderson would be i prevented from interfering with present or future agricultural mar keting agreements, such as those governing milk prices.
 AS a further means of exercising indirect control on prices, Tender son would be authorized to buy and sell commodities ito obtain the maximum necessary production thereof"
 Although both sides admitted making concessions, final approval came with administration and farm bloc forces praising the bill as a good weapon with which to con- bat imitation. Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley of Ken lucky said 1t was swell" compared with the legislation passed during the last war
