 Who Must File
 Generally speaking, those who are obliged to file are single persons subject to withholding who earn over S2,700 married people sub ject to withholding who earn over S3,5e0; and people with estimated income sufficient to require the filing of an income tax return, in- cluding over $100 from sources other than salary or wages subject to withholding.
 People who are required to make declaration but fail to do so will find 10 percent added to their tax The penalty for failing to pay an installment when due is an addi- tional S2.50 or 212 percent added to the tax, whichever is greater.
 Penalty
 There is also penalty for mak- ing a substantial underestimate of the amount of tax due People other than farmers whose estimate

New York. - The National Red

ceived the great support 1t receiv-
ed as in the past by the Negroes

tice of separating Negro and white

They claim this practice has caus-
ed passive resistance to any Red
Cross program. Leaders here also
pointed out that the Red Cross
National board does not have a sin
gle Negro in it. Locally the resis-
lance to the Red Cross is passive.
Many Twin City Negroes have

they would not give to the Red

The sensational charge that 6
high-ranking colored fficer Of
The United Stated Army gave di.
rect endorsement to the jim-crow
policy of the American Red Cross
In relation to the blood of race
donors was made on Thursday in
The Daily News by Howard Whit
man, stan writer for the paper.
Immediately, in informed circles,
the suspicion grew that Whitman
referred to Brigadier General B.
o. Davis, only Negro general and
Understanding officer of his race
In the nations armed forces.
Intended to clear the Red Cross
of the charges of bigotry which
evolved as the result of first a d.
rect refusal and next the segre-
cation of blood donated by Negro
citizens, the Whitman News piece
purported to present the actual
behind-the-scenes story of the sit
uation.
Whitman wrote as follows:
IF you get Herr Goebbels on
the telephone and asked him
about the Red Cross blood donor
service, he would tell you that
when eolored people donate their
blood 1t is thrown down the drain
as soon as they've departed.
Herr Goebbels would be tick !

then you wouldn't give your

Moving in The
Right Direction

At a recent meeting of tn,
West Central Area Council of tn,
Young Mems Christian Assocla.
ton at Kansas City, Missouri. q
deal of attention was focused up.
on the effect the war is having
upon the thinking of the people
of he world. from a religious and
racial standpoint.
1t seemed at first hard for the
speaker-leaders to move into high
gear in their discussions of the
services that the Young Mems
Christian Association are now
rendering to mankind around the
world. But after the heart to
heart talk by Eugene Barnett,
general secretary of the National
Council. Y. M. C. A., In which he
laid down the challenge to the
delegates to quit We, like men be
strong, recognize the Fatherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of
Man, one could see the spirit of
the Council moving to higher
ground, and the Christian fellow
ship which followed made every
body happy.
1t was also very interesting to
see young men graphing with the
race problems. which claimed a
deal of time In group discussions.
In an earnest and sincere effort |
to understand why for this and |
that, IL We are all children of
common Father, fashioned after
His will. The sincerity with which
the delegates faced the racial is
sues, indicated that the Y. M. C. |
A, while no perfect, Is moving
rapidly in tn right direction.
In mentioning the effect which
racial prejudices are having upon
this global war and its postwar
effect upon the kind of peace the
world will have, Mr.. Barnett said:
There are one billion nom.
white people in other parts of the
world who are asking for whom
is this democracy There are also
thirteen million non-whites in
who are asking, for
whom is this democracy Let the
Y. M. c. A. stand its ground. The
PRACTICE of democracy is more sig
nificant than all we can say about
the Four Freedoms"
Such discussions on the part OF
the leaders of any group will go
1 long way toward correcting our
today on vital matters i
which may determine the kind of
world we shall live In tomorrow.
