AGREE TO DELETE REFER
ENCES TO RACE AND RELIGION
FROM APPLICATION BLANKS

Three war industries in the New
York area, each holding government
contracts, have agreed to delete ref
erences to race and religion from
their application blanks the Presi-
dents Committee on Fair Employ
ment Practice made known today.
The three firms are executing
contracts for both the Navy De-
partment and the War Department.
At the request Of the committee.
the Navy and War Departments is
sued directions to the companies to
modify their application forms i'll
keeping with the national policy IF
fair employment as stated in Exc
cutive Order 1902.
The Pollack Manufacturing Com.
pany, SAL Devon Street. Arlington,
N j., dropped the reference to race
on it's application forms; it had nc
reference to religion.
The Tung-Sol Radio Tubes Div.
ision ,s5 Eighth Avenue, Newark,
N. j., agreed to drop its question Oh
religion; it had no reference to ace
on it's forms.
The Thomas A. Edison Inc, West
orange, N. j., deleted references to
both race and religion.
In carrying out its duties to cor
rect grievances growing out of dis
elimination against war workers be-
cause of their race, creed, color, ma
tional origin, or alienage. the Com
mittee on Fair Employment Prac-
tice has sought to eliminate ref
n to race and religion on ap-
piication forms as one step in over
coming arbitrary rejection of work
ers Of certain racial and religious
affiliations solely because Of their
race and creed.

FIVE PERCENT
o VICTORY

American wage n soon will
shoulder, as they already have be-
gan to on January 1, the first in
stallment Of that 1943 income tax
load, the biggest in the nations his
tory.
This first week in January en-
ployers begin withholding the new
5 percent Victory Tax on earnings
of their employees in excess of s12
a week or 1924 a year. The with
holding hits all classes Of employ
es from messenger boys to presi-
dents of corporations.
The victory tax is levied on 1913
income. The regular federal income
tax. which taxpayers must start
contributing to the government on
or before March Is, is on income
received in 1912.
You will not have to bother with
making out a victory tax return IN
til 1914. It is important however,
that you keep a record on which to
base your 1914 victory return. It
will facilitate the making of a cor
rect return and it may save you
some money.
These records should cover not
only amounts of income received
and the deductions made by en-
ployers but also all transactions in.
volving credits against the tax. Re
member that income other than
wages and commissions also is sub
ject to a victory tax but that it can
be paid in 1914 when the return is
filed.
The law permits the taking of So
called current credits for certain
expenditures against the victory
tax. These are: Payments on life
insurance in force on September i,
1912; net repayment of debts out
standing September 1, 1912; and pur
chases Of certain United States Oh
ligations including war bonds and
Stamps.
These credits for 1943 can he
claimed in your 1914 victory return
and taken from the regular income
tax owed the government in that
year.
Surprising the tax withheld from
your wages in 1943 amounts to one.

bought two hundred dollars worth
Of war bonds and have paid one
hundred dollars on life insurance.
You can deduct SIS (which would;

not credited expenditure( from your
regular income tax payment in 1914
The Omaha guide., 1943-01-09
However. current credit during

However, current credit during
any taxable year cannot exceed the
victory postwar credit for such q
year. And the postwar credit is
reduced to the extent such current
credit is taken.
For a single person the postwar
credit amounts to 25 percent OF the
victory tax UP to a maximum Of
five hundred dollars credit. For
the head of a family, the postwar
credit is 40 percent, or a top of one
thousand dollars. And for each de.
pendent there is a postwar credit
of 2 percent and a maximum of n
hundred dollars.

LEAKAGE ~!

Most of us have seen the poster
campaign aimed at preventing the
leakage of information which has
value to the enemy but most of us
are unable to determine just what
is war information that should lie
kept secret. The office of War
Information has prepared a book
let on this subject containing 1
chapter on just what we may talk
about in connection with the wa.
These rules say
IF YOU HEAR 1T FROM SOME
ONE-DON'T REPEAT 1T!
IF YOU SEE 1T YOURSELF -
DON'T REPEAT 1T!
BUT IF YOU READ 1T IN THE
NEWSPAPERS OR MAGAZINES
OR HEAR 1T ON THE RADIO,
THEN IT'S PUBLIC PROPERT q
AN DYOU CAN GO AHEAD AND
TALK ABOUT IT.
This doesn't apply, Of course, to
what you read in letters you or
your friends get from persons in
the armed service. If you heard
from a soldier, for example. that
he was in Liberia, you wouldn't
mention it to anyone. But when it
is publicly announced-that is, when
you read it in the newspapers and
magazines or hear it on the radio
why, Of course, you can talk about
it.
It is hard for US to realize that
such a casual remark as "Jimmy's
been transferred from North Caro-
lima to New York" can be tied UP
with other data. about Jimmy's out
fit and his type of training-to end
in the needless loss Of Jimmy's life
and maybe 1920 other sons OF
friends and neighbors.
Similar casual remarks can, when
pieced together, give the "tip-offf"
on troop movements or war produc
ton facts. The number Of casual
leaks like this is too large to cat
alog them all, but the point is thai.
it's difficult for the individual to ap-
preciate how harmful they a be.
To avoid leaks that cost lives. J.
Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI
suggests that you remember these
key words to remind you Of the
things our enemis want to know.

information will be of value to the
enemy as well as to YOU. SO have
patience and guard your tongue if
you would protect the boys who are
fighting your battles all over the

on time, therefore, it is necessary
that mailings be spread out over
a longer period so that available
transportation equipment and
postal personnel can be used dur

cries by Christmas if mailers wait
until the last three weeks before
the holiday, as in normal years.

shopping and mailing earlier than

doubtless have a better choice of
merchandise than will be avail
able later.
