 According to information filed with my office by this dimout study committee" states Commissioner Mccarthy" officers of the air corps, the War Department general staff and the corps of eningeers agree with illumination experts that the beacon effect of skyglow from such areas has no practical significance as a guide to enemy aviators. And we are given to understand that the inland area dimout is not connected with any skyglow menace to mari- time tratic-that 1t has been ordered as a phase of defense against probable aerial attack.

|KRAEMER ASKS AID ON TAXES
Valuable Assistance Can Be Given in Filing Income
 Tax Reports

Frank w. Kraemer, acting col- lector of Internal Revenue, an- nounced today that 7S0,0O0 copies of the Declaration of Estimated In- come for the Calendar Year 1943, had been mailed out to all taxpayers in the Connecticut district. It is estimated that 325,0O0 taxpayers in the district will be required under the Current Payment Tax Act of l043 to file the form, on or before September 15 and make payment of at least half the amount of the balance of l943 tax estimated to be due at that time.
 While most taxpayers will not be rec [uired to file the Declaration, Act ing Collector Kraemer said, because they are paying their tax in full through the withholding deductions made by their employers, he urged all taxpayers to read carefully the instruction sheets which accom- panied the forms to determine whether they are required to make a declaration, so as to avoid penal- ties for either failure to file or for making substantial lder-estimates of 1943 income.
 Many persons do not realize, Act ting Collector Kraemer said, that the withholding tax does not auto lnatically make all persons current on their 1943 incomes. Generally speaking, single persons earning over $2,700 year or married per. sons earning over $3500. a year; those with outside incomes, such as from dividends, interest, rents, pro. fessional fees or business profits, and those classes not subject to withholdings, such as persons iIa the armed forces, clergymen, domestic servants and farm labor, will all be required to file declarations in or- der to place all taxpayers on an equal footing.
 If there Is doubt in any ones mind as to whether he or she will have to file a declaration" Act- ing Collector Kraemer said, q sug- gest that they communicate with this office at the earliest opportun- ity, and we will be glad to help them"
 Acting Collector Kraemer also asked employers to be prepared, if requested, to give their employees a preliminary statement of the with holding deductions for each payroll period, and the amount of Victory tax withheld in the first six months, to help them compute their estimat- ed total withholdings for the year. While the law requires employees to furnish written statement to em- ployes only after the end of the year, still the act does require the filing of a declaration by certain taxpayers on September 18th and they may need this assistance from employers in filing the form re- quired. Inasmuch as only a rela- lively small proportion of employees will be required to file this SepteIn- Der 18th declaration, 1t is not ex- pected that this will involve much extra work on the part of employers, and their cooperation would be greatly appreciated.

To furnish additional labor in critical areas of the state, the Manpower Committee of the Con- necticut War Council has under taken arrangements which will per nit school teachers to work pafS- time in business, mercantile and industrial establishments after schools reopen, Harold F. Woodcock State War Administrator said today
 In conformance with a State Board of Education policy and with the agreement of the Connecticut Superintendents Association and with Connecticut State Teachers Asociation, MT. Woodcock said, the Manpower Committee urges the limited use of teachers during the school year on jobs that will not impair their health. Mir. Woodcock said that he had been informed that approximately 1000 teachers have been employed on full time jobs this summer with 50 percent of this number holding jobs in indus trial plants.
 Training Acquired
 Thanks to a work k-plan inaugur- ated last April by the Connecticut State Teachers Association, these teachers have acquired business and industrial training through summer employment on war jobs" MT Woodcock said. "If some of these teachers can undertake this extra load, in addition to their school work, their skills will further the war effort"
 MT. Woodcock said that the Manpower Committee recognized that teachers have a full-time Job to do for the youth in Connecticut

 Areas Where War Plants Need Help

and that extra work will involve an added physical and mental strain. Therefore, the Manpower Committee recommends the employment of teachers not to exceed four hours a day nor 20 hours per week in line with the policy of the State Board of Education.
 Teachers at Work
 The Administrator pointed out that industrial employers may find 1t advantageous to utilize teachers on a split-shift basis, as has proved successful in many plants through out the state. Likewise, business houses and retail stores have em- ployed teachers late afternoons and week-ends in their establishments.
 So lang as nine of the chief ern- ployment areas in the state continue to be regarded by the United States Employment Service as critical, the Manpower Committee of the War Council wishes to leave no possibility unexplored whereby further valuable personnel may be made available, MT. Woodcock said.
 The Manpower Committee, of which Herman P. steinkraus, presi- dent of the Bridgeport Brass Com pany, is chairman, has arranged for part-time employment by teachers through plans worked out by a sub- committee composed of Frederick V, Conard, works manager of the Underwood Fisher Company; Curtis Johnson of Guilford and Lyndon U. Pratt, chairman, who is executive secretary of the Connecticut State Teachers Association.
