AMERICAN SHIPS
TOLL TODAY 6S5
Navy Spokesman Claims
Allies Not Winning Trans
pOrtatiOn Battle

Washington, Jan. 10 - (U.P.) -
The toll Of American ships offlcial-
ly announced or unofflcially report
ed as sunk by Axis submarines to-
tailed 685 today, and a navy Spokes-
man said that "as 1t stands now we
are not winning the battle Of trans
portation."
The largest number Of sinkings
have been In western Atlantic wa
tiers where the navy has announced
loss Of 438 ships and an additional
1877 have been reported. In the east
ern Atlantic, including convoy
routes to Russia and supply lines
of West Africa, % ships have been
reported of1cially as long and nine
tlnofdcially.
In the Indian Ocean the Navy
has announced IS sinkings; in the
Pacific II. Three others were re-
ported unof1cially.
The Navy spokesman agreed with
War Information Director Elmer
Davis that the submarine menace is
far from licked. Davis said earlier
that while sinkings declined dur
ing December and that new con-
struction exceeds the number lost,
the situation was bad enough to be
considered serious"
The spokesman explained that
everything possible was being done
to cut losses, but added:
"The only sure defense is the
convoy, and that takes more ships
than We can muster. Even that /.

long and many, while our ships arr

are Knocked out Of conveys"
He said that anti-submarine de.
lenses along the Western Atlantic
had forced the Germans to movt
southwark to the Caribbean, Gull
Of Mexico and lower South Amer

"It is there they are still goinl
to town." he said. IF we can stymiC
1t down there as effectively as w

PLANE PILOT
PROVES HERO
Brings Flying Fortress
Back Safely Though
Wounded By Shrapnel

London, Jan. 10 Cup United
States Army headquarters revealed
today the extraordinary heroism"
Of Second Lieut.. Joseph B. Boyle,
who, though wounded in face and
legs by sharpnel, brought a Flying
Fortress back from France with
the pilot dead, two members of the
crew wounded and German fighter
planes chasing him.
Boyle, Of Teaneck, N. j., was CO.

A moment later, F'ocke-Wulf

answered, but a cannon shell pierced
the cockpit window and burst in
side, killing the pilot, Mai. Tom H.
Taylor, Of Eugene, Ore.
Boyle was struck in the face and
legs and stunned. The Fortress
dived from formation, following by
Germans, spraying it with cannon
and machine gun fire.
Boyle regained consciousness,
pulled the dead Taylor from the
controls, brought the Fortress back
to even keel and began climbing
back toward the formation. 1t was
still under continuous attack, and
shells pierced the forward compart-
ment, the ball and turret compart-
ments.
The top turret gunner, Staff Sgt.
William M. Beach, of Lordsburg, N.

Sgt. j.. s. Hill, of Valahalla, N. Y,
in the ball turret, was also wounded
in the legs.
Despite his wounds, Beach, with
the radio operator, Staff Sgt. Os-
car E. Ballew, of Enola, Pa, carried
the body of Taylor into the nose of

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
NO. IL
INCOME TO BE REPORTED
INCOME CONSTRUCTIvELY
RECEIVED

In making a return Of income
for Federal income tax purposes,
all income must be reported except
those items which are specifically
exempt, q list Of which may be
found in the instructions attached
to- the return form. The report
of income must include income
"constructively received" as well as
actually received, that is, income
which becomes the property Of q
person during the year even though
he does not have physical posses
sion of 1t.
Income Is constructively received
when it is Internationally credited
to ones account or set apart sub
ject to his order at any time. Thus
interest credited on saving bank
deposit is income to the depositor
when credited, even though it may
not be drawn down or even en-
tered on the depositor's pass book.
Income received for taxpayer by
his agent, such as rental payments,
has been constructively received
when it is received by the agent.
Interest coupons which have ma
tured, and are payable, represent
income constuctively received by
their owner, even though the cou-
pons are not cashed, unless Of
course, there are no funds available
to pay the interest on the coupons.
In the same way, dividend checks
ordinarily become income when re-
ceived, whether the checks are
cashed or not. However, in the
case of certain building and loan
associations, dividend declared and
credited may not be withdrawn by
! the shareholder until the maturity
Of the share in q future year. In
such cases the dividends do not be-
came income during the year Of
the credit, but in the year Of the
maturity Of the share.
Another instance Of constructive
receipt of income may arise when
ones debts or bills are paid by an
other or where a debt is forgiven.
# this payment Of a debt by an
other, or forgiveness Of debt by
creditor, Is not by way of outright
gift, but in accordance with some
agreement, or business transaction,
then the amount of the debt paid
on behalf Of the. taxpayer, or for
given to him, becames income to
him in the year in which such pay
ment or forgiveness occurs.
It often happens that taxpayer
who owns property agrees that the
income from such property shall
be paid to a third party or he may
contract to perform services to
second party and it is agreed that
the compensation shall be paid to
a third party. In each case the
amount paid to the third party at
the taxpayers order is income "con-
structively received" by the taxpay-
er, which must be reported as in
come in his income tax return.

SaltOnstall Claims

Boston, Jan. 19-(UP)-Gov
Leverett Saltonstal today forwarded
to New England congressman a re-
port showing that nearly all the
fuel brought into the area must be
transported in railroad cars which
are wearing out rapidly.
The report, drafted by F. L. Hig-

made no recommendation. It mere
ly outlined the current situation
and said the railroads could bring
1000 additional cars to New Eng
land daily.
It stated that a pipeline would
be totally inadequate because when

and to some extent on barges. Cars
will tend to decrease because of
natural breakdowns unless some-
thing is done about it,"
The report said that If the rate
OF importing oil in the last six weeks
continued, New England will re-
ceive only two-thirds of what oil
dealers budgeted for 1912 or 81 per
cent Of the oil used in the mild
winter Of 1941.
