But How About
Nurseries.
Mr.. McNu+f =?
By Federated Press

WASHINGTON = Paul V. Nc
Mutt, who is director of the Office
of Defense Health and Welfare
Services as well as war manpower
commissioner, Jan. 20 announced
grants of some $4,000 to Illinois,
Nebraska and North Carolina, to
pay salaries of consultants on day
care for children.
Thirteen departments of educa-
tion and 10 departments of welfare
have received such grants. The ex-
perts are to help local communities
make greater use Of existing facili-
ties and in general help develop
wartime child care programs.
AS to nurseries themselves, that's
another matter, although the Lam
ham Act provides for federal
grants to nurseries and could af-
ford drop in the bucket at least.
Asked recently about day nurseries
for children of war workers, Nc
Mutt said it was "too hot an issue"

The WORKERS.
Income Tax
BY Attorney Edward Lamb

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
final in a series of four articles
by Attorney Edward Lamb on
the workers income tax.
Medical expenses may be de-
Quoted for the taxpayer, his wife
or dependents. This new provision
allows deduction when the amount
paid for medical expenses exceeds
59o of the net income. The maxi
mum deduction for any taxable
year in the case Of a husband and
wife who file joint return, or a
head of a family, may not exceed
$2500, and in the case of all other
individuals, $3.50. No deduction is
allowed if such expenses are COM
pensated for by insurance or other
wise. Medical care" in this new
tax bill includes amounts paid for
the diagnosis, cure, mitigation,
treatment or prevention of disease,
or for the purpose of affecting any
structure or function of the body.
1t has been determined by authori-
ties on the subject that amounts
paid for accident or health insur-
ance disqualification insurance
membership in an association fur
nishing cooperative or so-called
free1choice medical service, or
group disqualification and clinical
care, are regarded for the purposes
of this deduction, as medical ex-
penses."
Losses from fire, storm, ship
wreck, or other casualty, or theft,
occurring during the taxable year
of 1912 may be deducted. This in
cludes loss caused by damage to
an automobile, whether resulting
from the taxpayers negligence or
not.
Interest paid on mortgages,
notes, etc.
Capital gains or losses are placed
upon new basis, depending upon
whether the taxpayer has had the
property more or less than six
Long-term gains or losses
are taxed upon the basis of 500 of
the actual gains or losses, short
term gains or losses are taxed upon
1000 of the actual gains or losses.
This section of the new tax law has
been considerably simplified this
year, but it is not deemed necessary
to set forth an elaborate discussion
here.
The tax which you will be re-
quired to pay is likely to be SUBJ
stantial. In fairness to yourself,
to your family and to your govern
ment it is only right and proper
that you Immediately consider the
preparation and filing of your re-
turn. The last-minute rush is likely
TO lead to confusion and inaccuracy.
You will be well advised if you
the preparation and fill
ing of your income tar return as
early in 1943 as possible.

several years. Trains will not be
heated, nor will buses. Japan has
the wood to produce enough char
coal for all. But that would take
time, manpower and transportation.
The consumption of gas, water
and electricity in all Japanese
households is set by law, at fixed
rate of about 80 per cent of pre-
war consumption. If the quotas are
exceeded, heavy fine is imposed.
If the offense is repeated, the Of
fender is punished by having all
his public-utility facilities shut off.
japanese students have no leisure
time whatever. All are registered
by the government and assigned to
war work after school hours and
during summer vacations. They
work in factories, on farms, on
road building, on the docks, and as
auxiliary police and firemen-
wherever they can replace older
men who can join the army.
Scrap-iron drives in Japan are
not merely matter of cleaning out
garages and Easements.
Even doorknobs and window
screens are taken. Volunteers walk
along the streetcar and railroad
tracks with magnets attached to
the ends of poles to collect the iron
dust from the rails. From so to 95
per cent of Jap's income goes
into war bonds, taxes and compul
sorry postal savings.
The Japanese do not consider
night life essential to civilian NOR
ale in wartime. All night clubs are
closed to civilians. Bars are ra-
toned to the point where they can
be open for two or three nights
per week, from eight to ten
o'clock.

Tells of Ceaseless
Combat Against Japs
By Federated Press

NEW YORK-Six years Of death
and fighting against death, six
years of night attacks quick
thrusts at the japanese flanks-
six years of creeping through en-
emy lines and striking him from be-
hind, six years of guerrilla warfare
on Chinese soil. And this message
came to America from Gen. Chu
Teh, commander of Chinese guer-
rilla forces: "On our road of diff
cult struggle we can see the dawn
Of victory ahead"
The message came in a full re-
port to the China Aid Council of
United China Relief from the Chi
nese general, released exclusively
to Federated Press Jan. 19. 1t was
complete report, even to a box
score, and it thanked American
labor for contributions made to
China Aid Council, contributions
which, Chu Teh said, keep his
forces going.
Waged 1870 Battles in One Month
The report told of ceaseless COM
bat. In one month alone, the guer-
rillas waged 130 battles with 100,-
900 enemy troops. Chu's warriors
killed or wounded 351,772 Japan
ese in the first five years of war.
Another 1884 were captured,
many of them switching allegiance
to the Chinese cause. But-all this
at a cost. Casualties were in the
ratio of 1.35 to 1 in favor of the
guerrillas.
Portions of the box score, in
cluded in the report, showed how
the sometimes hopelessly alarmed
Chinese 18th Group Army captured
japanese arms to turn against the
invaders. The list included 95,732
rifles, 4,O27 pistols, 73 field guns,
three airplanes, 55,121 blankets,
1882 overcoats, 5000 bicycles,
1919 vehicles, 20 anti-tank guns,
1000 light and heavy machine guns
and 86,O37 Japanese flags.
