Every individual is allowed a cred
it against his net income which
varies with his domestic status; that
is. whether he is (a) a single person,
Cb) a married person living with
husband or wife or (c) a head of
family. This credit is known as per-
sonal exemption and is shown on
line 81 of the return Form 1040.
The amount of the pc. sonal ex-
emption also varies, depending upon
the period during which the tax
payer occupied the particular ex-
emption status.
The personal exemption for sim
gle person is $500 for the year; for a
married person living with husband
or wife. $1,000. and for a head of
family $1,000 personal exemp-
ton as head of family has no ef-
feet on liability to file a return)
For Federal income tax purposes,
widows, widowers, divorces and
married persons separated by mu-
tual consent, as we'll as persons who
have never been married, are classed
as single persons.
Family Head Defined.
A head of family is defined as IAN
individual who actually supports and
maintains in one household one or
more individuals who are closely
connected with him by blood rela-
tionship, relationship by marriage or
by adoption. and whose right to ex-
ercise family control and provide
for these dependent individuals is
based upon some moral or legal OBJ
ligation.' A single person. or mar
ried person not living with husband
or wife, may, therefore, enjoy head
of family exemption under certain
conditions.
Taxpayers using simplifed re-
turn (Which is permitted If the gross
income for the year is $4,000 or less
and derived solely from earnings
from employment and or from divi-
dends, interest and annuities) OBJ
tain personal exemption based on
their status as of July of the year.
Thus, taxpayer married and living
with husband or wife on July is en-
titled to $1,000 personal exemption
on Form l040A; if he were a widower
on July /, his exemption would be
$500, irrespective of the date on
which he became a widower. The
amount of the exemption is not de-
ductible from the income, but is re-
flected in the amount of tax shown
in the table on the reverse side of
the form.
Exemption Proportioned.
Taxpayers using return Form 1040
obtain personal exemption propor-
tionate with the number OF months
during which the particular status
is held. Thus, for a person who

married on July who was not a
head Of family prior to his mar
riage), the personal exemption would
be $3.50 $3.50 for the six months as
a single man, plus $500 for the six
months as a married man. In this
example it is assumed that the wife
has no income
Married persons may, however
file joint returns, even though one
has no income, and by filing a joint
return couple married during the
year may obtain an exemption
amounting to the exemption to
which they would be entitled for
the period of married status, plus
the amount of their individual ex-
emptions prior to their marriage
In the example given the total ex-
emption in joint return would be
81 900 $3.50 for each spouse for six
months plus $500 for six months
married status.
If husband and wife living to-
gether both have income and file
separate returns on Form 1040, the
personal exemption applicable to a
married person may be taken in the
return of either or divided between
! them in any way as they may agree,
but the total personal exemption
taken in the two separate returns
may not exceed $1,000.

Treasury Lays Plans
For New War Bond
Drive This Spring
Bankers, FinoncioI Experts
Called to Conferences
On Coming Campaign
Py the Associated Pres,

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury, having just scored
the greatest moneyraising triumph
in history, is turning its attention
| to plans for another huge war fund
, drive expected to be undertaken in
the spring.
No financial goal has been men,
toned for the new borrowing cam
paign, which Secretary Morgenthau
said would start probably in April,
and officials refused to predict
whether it would be higher, lower
or the same as that of the record
breaking Victory loan campaign in
/ December.
In that drive, the first of this war,
the Treasury sought S9OOO,OOO, 900
and actually collected Sl2 2,906 900, 900.
Both the original goal and the
| subsequent sum collected shattered
all previous financial records of this
or any other country, the nearest
approach being the Fourth Liberty
Loan of the last war, when $780,
100000 was raised in three weeks.
A series of conferences which
Treasury officials expect to hold
with bankers and financial experts
concerning the new drive began
Tuesday.
Members of special steering
committee on Government finance
OF the American Bankers Associa-
ton met with Undersecretary of the
Treasury Daniel w. Bell and ex-
changed views on procedure to be
followed in the spring campaign.
1t was understood that among the
subjects discussed was that of
greater participation by the banks
and investments dealers of smaller
communities. Mr.. Morgenthau had
previously indicated an intention to
give closer attention to smaller com =
munities in future financing opera
tions.
While pledging full support to the
war financing program, the bankers
were reported to have stressed the
Importance of wide distribution of
bond sales as check on imitation.
In the December drive, 60 per
cent of the funds were raised from
non-banking sources. In fact, Mr..
Morgenthau said he was especially
pleased" to report that almost all
of the nearly $4,000 600 900 is over
subscriptions came from non-bank-
ing sources.

War Plant Conversion
To Ships and Planes
Shift Of Emphasis From
Ordnance Will VituIize
Many Dormant Facilities
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
A conversion program to make the
Army's excess ordnance facilities
available for other types of war pro-
duction is being pushed by officials
of the War Production Board and
the Army's Services of Supply, the
War Department disclosed today.
An important consideration, said
officials, is to insure minimum
dislocation of employment as a re-
suit of the decision to curtail output
of heavy ordance items, making
greater supplies of critical raw ma
terials available FOR a sharply in
creased plane and ship program.
To Open Many Plants.
Every war plant where production
was restricted or production stopped
is being studied carefully to de-
termine its possible use in the re-
vised schedules, with the eXpecta-
ton that few. if any, will remain
closed indefinitely.
Where it was possible to make
immediate conversion of plants al
ready in production" said the War
Department, the changeover was
accomplished without serious layoffs
of workers or loss of production.
"In plants under construction, the
conversion took longer and in some
instances has not yet been COM
pleted, but such capacity as is
represented in this type of facility
will be in full utilization during
1943."
AS the first specific instance of
conversion and transfer of plant
from one Army program to another,
the department said the new plant
of the Symington-G Gould Corp,
Rochester, N. Y, would be used in
the aircraft program, instead of
making tank armor castings as orig
inally planned.
financial arrangements were made.
Construction. halted early in No
vember, was resumed under the
Ordnance Department contract. with
Defense Plant Corp. financing
When completed, the plant will be
turned over to the Air Forces.
Reserve Accumulated.
The shift in emphasis from ord
nance to aircraft and ships was
adopted by the Army in November,
partly because reserve of such
items as tanks, trucks, some cate
gories of heavy guns and small arms
ammunition. had been accumulated,
and partly because the production
rate was running ahead of the ca
pacity to make deliveries to the
combat zones.
The transfer of the Symington-
Gould plant, said the department,
was but one of many Others
mentioned were the General Steel
Castings plant, Granite City, Ill;
Scullin Steel Co., ST. Louis, and
