Fourth of a Series)
By ALEXANDER K. GEORGE Mide World Features Writer

WASHINGTON - Being in the surtax income class isn't something to go high hat about this year. Every person who pays a Federal income tax becomes a member of the sur tax club.
 That means hundreds of thou sands Of taxpayers will be sweating over surtax rates for the first time. It isn't so difficult as it may seem to figure 1t out, although there are a few steps to watch closely if you would avoid paying Uncle Sam too much or too little.
 The surtax is computed before
 the le per cent credit or earned
 income is deducted. The normal
 tax of per cent is figured after
 the deduction for earned income.
 Here is sample case John e Smith, married and two dependent children, has a net income of S4 900, Net income is the amount left de- ducting taxes, interest, church con- tributions. etc, from gross income
 From the S4000 he deducts $1,500 head of family exemption and $500 dependents exemptions ($400 for each child), or a total of $2,300 That leaves a surtax income of S1.700, The surtaX rate is per cent of the first S2,000 tor any part of that amount of surtax income so his sutax levy is 6 per cent Of S1,700 or S102.
 smiths earned income credit is 10 per cent of s4,O0o, or s400, assuming that his income is for personal serv- ices. He deducts the $4o0 from his $l FOO surtax income, leaving $500 subject to normal tax. At per cent his normal tax is s52. That added to the surtax of sl02 makes a total tax of Sl54

ENJOY PARTY GIVEN BY
 METHODIST MEN

Between 25 and 30 enlisted men were entertained last night at 2 party given by men of the Metho. dist Church in Juneau, with George Folta, Territorial Councillor at Large, as the main speaker. ,
 Folta's talk on Crime and it's Cost to the United States and so- lutions to the problem of crime proved of great interest to the men, who entered into the discus- sion following.
 The organization of a mems cluL from the civilians present was post pcned until a later date because oi the entertainment of the soldiers last night. Men of the group plan to repeat the evenings party soon however, because of the enthusi- astic reception by the soldiers.
 After the speech, an informal songfest followed for 20 minutes with Ron Lister as song leader and Bill Matheny accompanying the group on his trombone. Matheny also gave several trombone solos and acted as master of ceremonies during the evening. Lister was chairman for the affair.
 Hot dogs, potato salad, pickles and olives were served to the men with Jack Popejoy, as chairman of refreshments. Following the pro- gram, ping pong and other games were enjoyed : and many of the men gathered around the piano to sing their favorite songs.

College golf of the big-time brand
apparently Is finished for the dura-
ton Of the war. Although the COL
leges have made no announcement
as to whether golf will be played
next spring, preparations for college
links teams are nil this year, at the
time when most OF the teams are
getting ready Tor fall trials which
usually have bearing on the teams
to sprout in the spring. George
town. lacking the services next year
of Jack Donohue, may not have a
links outfit, although the Hoyas for
years have been power in Eastern
college golf and have been the best
locally.
Maryland has abandoned all but
the body contact sports, which
means that golf and tennis are out,
and George Washington, which
might come up with a good links
team next year, has made little
preparation for a golf aggregation,
even though the Coloni''s have
several lads in school who could
propel the G-streeters to the fore
front of local college golf.
No Means for Travelling.
A big part of the hesitation about
getting college golf rolling has been
the doubtful outlook for travelling
next spring. Georgetown's golf
team in normal years did a lot OF
travelling, moving south for a trip
through Carolina and then north
again for at least two week lend
trips to play in the Eastern Inter-
collegiate loop. George Washington
played William and Mary, Western
Maryland and other teams. But
travelling by automobile is out and
train travel is problematical. You
only have to take a trip or two with
college football teams to find that
out. The pigskin boys used to go
de luxe, but now the main question
is whether they can find seats in
day coaches. .
