COMO, Miss, Feb. II --(P)-
The newest chapter in ORE OF
the states most intensive IMAM
hunts apparently neared q eli
max today as officers intensified
their search for three escaped
convicts who kidnapped Wom-
an and released her unframed
near here when her automobile
ran out of gas.
Acting Governor Dennis Muir
phree called out a detachment OF
state guards OF aid law-enforce-
ment officers throughout north
Mississippi in the hunt for the
armed men, three of seven re.
manning at liberty after spec
tacular 19-man break from the
Parchman State Prison farm last
Saturday.
The three had srent most OF
yesterday hiding in the home
OF Enith Alexander on a lonely
road near Clarksdale, Miss.
Alexander said his family was
closely guarded by the men, but
that no one was harmed and he
was paid for food they ate.
When Mrs. J. T. Casey SO.
year-old wife of plantation
manager, drove up to advise
Alexander on use of his garden
in a county food production cam
paign, the three emerged from
the house and took command of
her car, forcing her to drive.
About three hours later, the
car stalled near Como. The three
Tagged the car of Dolph Power
OF near here and after Power
refused to provide them more
gas, drew their guns and forced
him and two girl companions to
get out. They drove away in
Powers car, leaving Mrs. Casey
in her own.
Earlier. Gordon of police
had been thrown around all
roads leading across the state
line into Tennessee, and the
Memphis FBI office had been
called in on the possibility the
trio would try to reach Mem
phis. Crossing the state line with
Mrs. Casey would have made
them subject to Federal action
under terms of the Lindbergh
Kidnap Law.
Meanwhile, three more of the
seven remaining at large were
believed trapped southwest of
here by prison guards and po-
lice officers.

BY NEA Service
Two final questions remain to
be answered in deciding how to
file your 1912 federal income
tax return. If you are married,
should you and your wife file a
Joint return OF separate ones? II
your gross income is less than
$4,000 and comes from certain
specified sources, should you file
US. Individual Income Tax Re-
turn form 1O4O, or should you
use the simplified optional form
1040A?
To answer either of these
questions, every one Siiouio IL
figure their returns separately
on form 1040.
Having thus figured on indl-
yidual returns, a married cou-
pie can then figure joint re-
turn and see which one saves
them money.
The advantage of the Joint re-
turn is that the law treats the
combined incomes, profits, loss
es. contributions and credits OF
both husband and wife as
though they were gains, losses
and credits of one person.
SEPARATE RETURNS
Say, for example, that wife
who had an income Of $500 in
1912 took A short-term capital
loss of 5000. Say that her hus-
bands taxable income is $4,000.
If they file separate returns,
the wife pays no tax. Since her
net income IS minus $500. Since

the returns are separates her
husband gets no advantage from
this S400 of loss which the wife
is unable to use this year.
But if they file joint re-
turn the Wife's net income OF
minus S4OO may be deducted
from her husbands taxable in
come. This not only saves the
husbands taxes on $500. 1t also
saves because the $500 above
$4,000 on mis- $4,000 taxable in
come would be taxed at higher
surtax rate than the first $1,000
of taxable income.
Conversely it is sometimes a
saving for couple to file sepa-
rate returns in order to reduce
the surtax. Say that the hus-
bands taxable income, before
deducting his share of the cou-
pies $1,000 personal exemption,
is $4,000. The wife's taxable in
come. before deducting her
share of the $1,000 exemption, is
S2100.
If the couple files a joint re-
turn, the pay a surtax on their
Joint taxable income Of $500,
minus their $1,000 personal ex-
emption-or $4,000 surtax net
income.
The amount of their surtax,
therefore, is ID per cent on the
first $4,000, or $3.50, plus 10 per
cent of the $1,000 over $1,000, or
S3O4. This makes total surtax
of 1854.
If the couple files separate re-
turns, however, they will save.
They are allowed to split their
Joint $1,000 personal exemption
any way they like.
In order to keep his net sur
tax income to $2000-on which
he pays the lowest surtax rate
the husband takes $1,000 of the
exemption. But, the husband
pays l3 per cent on his $4,000
or $3.50, and the wife pays Is
per cent on her 81 900 or S247
His wife takes the other $500 oil
the personal exemption, reduc-
ing her surtax net income to
$1,000.
Their Joint surtax net incomes
still add up to $500, as they die
on the joint return. BUT, the
husband pays 13 per cent on her
$1,000, or STAT. This makes a to.
tai surtax of S504-a saving OF
S57, or 10 per cent over the joint
return.

a community or allotment gar
den plot.
Now is the time to take look
at your back yard, that nearby
vacant lot, or any available open
space in your community and
make your plans to get in the
battle of food with your own
Victory Garden.
HOPE TO BREAK RECORDS
Farmers of the u. S. will be
ding their level best to break
food production records again
this year as they have done in
each of the past three years.
Food is a weapon in the war
we are fighting all around the
world, and Secretary of Agri-
culture Claude r. Wickard, in
charge of food production and
distribution for the nation, says
we can't produce too much. We
ned tremendous quantities of all
kinds of food for our armed
forces, our allies and our folks
at home.
BY growing and preserving
your own supply of vegetables,
you can relieve the drain on
commercial stocks of food and
also make sure that you get an
abundance of the kinds of food
that put vitamins and minerals
in your daily diet.
BY growing a Victory Garden
you can help the country build
up its stockpile of food for war
uses. You can make it easier for
your own fighting men and our
fighting allies to get the food
they need to keep driving
against the Axis aggressors. You
can help build the stockpile
higher for the campaigns yet to
come and for the countries being
re-occupied-food that must be
ready to back up each drive. -.
BY growing a Victory Garden
you can help save vital metals
used for canning. The food you
eat from your garden will re-
duce the amount needed from
cans and will supplement the
supplies Of canned food that will
be available under rationing.
AIDS SHIPPING SHORTAGE
The Victory Garden will ease
the burdens Of our transporta-
ton systems by cutting down the
amount Of food that must be
shipped to your community
and thereby it will help keep
guns and tanks and ammunition
rolling toward the war fronts.
Industry has converted to the
production of war equipment
and munitions. Farmers have
converted to war food and fiber
production. BY growing q Vic
toryq Garden you can convert
your available resources on the
last sector of the home front to
war production. Throughout the
nation, the farm families, the
city jewellers, the suburban and
town residents, school children,
and groups on community plots
can make their Victory Gardens
do the important part in winning
the battle of food in 1943 by In
creasing the national food sup
ply.
In winning the battle, the Vic
tory Gardeners also can help
make all the people healthier
and stronger.

Wrenched backs, sprained wrists
and such things are common enough
in films, due to the unusual demands
made on actors. 1t isn't profess
sion for pantywaists of either sex.
Linda Darnell, working in the
elaborate feminine costumes of the
90s, sprained her right wrist. The
scene required her to jump into a
river. fully clothed. and be rescued
by Dick Powell. The river was
warmed, everything possible done to
avoid chilling Linda, a good SWIM
mer, had no trouble handling herself
in the water.
What caused the trouble was be-
ing rescued. AS she came out of the
water the action required her to
hold up her dripping skirts with her
right hand. Several retakes finally
produced the lame wrist. Without
the water the costume, which in
cluded petticoats and heavy corded
bouffant silk skirt, lined with un-
bleached muslin, weighed 40 pounds
