using the 1912 statement IN
making out your report for
1943, you viii be expected TO
return II with the report 10 the
collector. He needs IL in check

The statement from your en-
ployer on Withholding Will
help you get full credit for taxes

Another new angle which
will complicate the return Will
be the computation Of your Vic
tory tax due for 1913, together
with figuring The Victory tax

your marital status and the
number Of dependents you had
during 1913.

TIN COLLECTION
HERE SATURDAY
Seventh Sectional Can
vass to Be Undertaken;
Cooperation Asked

Waterways seventh tin can col
lection will be held Saturday on
streets lying north Of East and West
Main street, ]. Warren Epson, sal
wage committee chairman, said last
night. It will be the fourth pickup
In the northern section, which al
ready has contributed approximate
~ 40 tons Of cans.
At q meeting last night Of the
salvage committee members, Mr..
Epson said, 1t was pointed out resi-
dents had withheld placing tin cans
on sidewalks when rain or snow
prevailed on collection days.
Reassuring the people that this
type Of weather would not damage
during a short period, salvaged cans
Mr.. Epson urged householders to
place their contributions on walks
for gathering regardless Of the
weather.
Cans should be prepared for col
lection by peeling labels, washing
cans thoroughly, cutting both ends
and folding them within the can
and then pressing the can flat until
only q small space remains. The
space is necessary for defining
fluids to pass through.
The major salvage program, the
collection Of tin cans In Waterbury
has yet failed to meet with early
hopes Of officials who set q 50.ton
monthly quota for waterbury. The
best percentage attained thus far is
40 per cent Of the quota.

that rurns almost to Maknassy, 20
miles northeast Of Sened.
AS long as the Germans hold the
ridge, they dangerously threaten
any Allied drive to the coast from
the Sened salient to cut off the
Afrika Korps' retreat.
Similarly, the Sened salient is a
threat to the Germans and Ital-
iar1s, and heavy fighting was ex-
pected to break out soon around
Sened and around Faid Pass and
the ridge.
French headquarters reported an
advance against the enemy SOUTH
west Of Djebel Cherich, a mountains
Gus area In the Ousseltia region
west Of Sousse. Lively activity" al
so was reported in the area be-
tween Ousseltia and Kairouan, a
short distance to the southeast. Five
hundred Germans attacked in that
area yesterday and were beaten
back, but the French said their
line had been "favorably rectified."
London observers said Lieut.. Gen.
Bernard L. Montgomery, comman-
der Of the British Eighth Army,
might be planning to outflank the
Mareth line, behind which Rom
mel was expected to make q stand
In lower Tunisia.
Anticipated Plan?
Ronmel, these observers said,
might have anticipated Montgom-
ery's plan, accounting for some
fighting In southern Tunisia be-
tween advanced elements Of the
Eighth Army and the rear guard Of
the Afrika Korps.
The Mareth line, so miles inside
Of Tunisia, was more suitable for
mobile warfare than the Maginot
line Of France, these observers said,
and probably would be difficult to
crack from the front.
But Montgomery might drive
through Ghadames, IS miles inside
1lipolitania and 240 miles from the
coast, around the Mareth line, to
Toujane, IS miles below GahGss, they
said. The total distance he would
have to travel from Tripoli would
be 900 miles, but good road ex-
tends 200 miles Of the distance.
Montgomery, having chased the
Afrika Korps 1900 miles from Ell
AlamIcin, probably would not con-
slider another 900 miles impossible.
If he succeeded in such a maneu-
yer, Rommel would have no choice
except to flee to the Tunis- Bizerte
area. He was expected to make a
stand at the Mareth line, but 1t was
doubted that he would try to fight
1t out with the Eighth Army there.

By sERRELL HILLMAN

united FfeS9 Stam correspondent
Washington, Feb. 4.-(UP)-The
demand Of 100000 biturninous coal
miners for $2-a-day wage increase
may be q body blow to the admin
istrati0n's already shaky wage and
price sterilization program
President John L. Lewis Of the
United Mine Workers announced the
miners demand for raise that will
amount to nearly 100000 q day
last night, climaxing strong attacks
on the war labor boards Little
Steel" wage formula and the inabil-
ity Of government agencies to stem
q steady rise In the cost Of living
Most observers here felt that
Lewis action has blown the top of
q powder keg."
Some action to preserve wage and
price ceilings almost certainly will
be taken soon. The WLB, beset with
requests on all sides for wage in.
creases in violation Of It's little
Steel" formula, has asked Economic
Sterilization Director James F..
Byrnes to decide whether 1t should
be revised upward.
Thus the final decision In the coal
miners case and others may be made
by Byrnes, or even President Roose-
welt.
The administration is In tough
spot. For the first time in recent
years the largest labor organizations
are united on this major issue. Pres
ident Philip Murray Of the Congress
Of Industrial Organizations and
President william Green Of the
American Federation Of Labor are
on the same side Of the fence as
their arch enemy, Lewis.
Green and Murray told Mr.. Roos.
evelt yesterday that the cost Of liv.
ing Is getting out Of bounds" and
warned him that labor's rank and
file Is becoming increasingly dissat-
isfled.
A showdown between Lewis and
the WLB may be STAYED of II brakes
are frightened on wages and prices
before UNIV contracts with bituni-
nous operators expire on March 81.
Contracts with anthracite operators
terminate month later.

.DIMOUT CHANGES
DISCUSSED HERE
Air Raid Wardens, Defense
Officials Confer With
State Director .

Several changes IN the air raid
and blackout signals, to become eff
fective Feb. II, were discussed at q
conference Of chief sir raid ward
ems and defense council ofacials,
with Wesley "A. sturees. state de-
Tense administrator, in Hartford
yesterday. Among those present
from waterbury were Mayor John
8. Monagan, ChairTnna Of the de-
Tense council; James J. Curtin, chief
air raid, warden: Frank J. Green,
controller Of the warning center and
Charles Platt, deputy controller.
Under the new set-up, which will
obtain throughout the Eastern De-
Tense Command, no audible all
clear signal will be sounded at the
conclusion Of raid or blackout
test. On the first blue (alert) alarm,
which will be q sustaining sound.
all house lights should be extin.
guished. With the second red dam
ger) signal, series Of intermittent
blasts all other lights and pedes-
TRAN and vehicular traflc shall
cease. When the blue or steady sig.
nal sounds, necessary lights, such
as those of war plants, \ may be
turned on and pedestrian and We
hicular trafflc may continue, but
residences must await notification
Of the all-clear signal. It is tenta-
lively planned TO broadcast the all
clear notice over the radio.
The reason for the new system Is
two-fold: first, It is believed that
sounding the blue signal after as
well as before the red will minimize
loss Of time in production, while
the rest Of the community will be
kept on alert; and second, q success
sion Of blue and red signals may be
necessary in event raiding planes
should return over the city.
4 The greatest problem remains, ac-
cording to Chief Curtin, to inform
the public trough the lbock plan and
newspaper publicity to avoid con-
fusion during the next general
blackout drill. The new system was
explained to deputy and zone ward
ems at q meeting In the city hall
last evening.

marked, and territory that was the
highest developed part Of the
country" Despite this, they have re-
manned faithful To their country.
A comparison was made between
the Russian Purge" and the trial
and execution Of the saboteurs In
this country. The purge "helped the
war;" the speaker said for 1t elimin-
ated politicians, replaced them with
professional soldiers. Conditions at
the time were parallel to "our jit-
ters" after the Pearl Harbor map"
The Russian people are not near
~ as Goddess" as people think,
continued DR.. Harris. After discuss
ing 1t with more than 100 priests in
the U. 8. 8. r., the speaker was In
formed that there had been no per-
secution Of religion. Churches are
closed from time to time when no
body pays to keep them open, ne
stated, but according to law any
church may be opened by q petition
signed by 20 citizens.
The Soviet courts uphold the
right Of freedom to worship he con-
tinued, and II brass hand plays
outside a church It constitutes a
breach Of the law allowing freedom
to worship. On Easter Sundays
there are more people In the church
than there are in the British En-
pire and they pray for the U. s. s.
r., he said.
Russia will have O tremendous
problem to rebuild her devastated
territories" after the war is over,
which will require the occupation
Of other nations" DR.. Harris re-
marked.
When questioned as to Russias
end Of Communism as the result Of
the war, DR.. Harris said that the
U. s. s. r. Is mot yet Communis-
TIC" There are Communist parties
outside Of Soviet Russia, but they
exist only In times of economic
stress, he remarked. United States
and Russian cooperation after the
war can dispense with all fears Of
Communistic uprisings, he asserted.

speaker and Herbert Smith con-
Quoted the open forum at the end.
Community singing was led by Will

Russia has made our conquest
over Germany easier, the speaker
said as he illustrated that 80 per
cent Of the four million dead Nazis
have been killed by the Russians,
with the Red Army having lost, the
equivalent in men Of the entire Uni

Civilians cooperated with the
lighting Russian units when they
repaired tanks and made machine
guns when Stallngrad was under in
cessarlt attacks, said DR.. Harris.
Probably the only time electric
lights were turned on was last NO
