Nelson Plons
to Keep Post

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is -
(P) - Friends might fret and
foes might fuss, but Donald M.
Nelson sat solidly at the head of
the War Production Board ia
BILE today and let the fur fly.
And he gave every indication
that nothing less than the end of
the war or the appearance of
"a better man. would prevent
him from staying put.
With the recently rolled WPB
waters still far from calm, Mel
son let it be known that he was
there to stay" despite reports
that friends and foes-for vastly
different reasons-had suggested
he retire. The former were said
to be fearing for his health, and
the latter seeking his replace
ment in view of the military
civilian power squabble within
the WPB.
The reports came shortly af-
ter Nelson fired Ferdinand Eb-
erstadt, one WPB vice chair
man, and elevated another,
Charles Z. Wilson, TO the place
of second in commando move
interpreted as giving more
weight to civilian control.
1t was followed by resigna-
ton of two officials-Lou E.
Holland of Kansas City and Leo
nard O. lick of South Bend, Inc.
both of whom aired critical
views of WPB policies as they
left. Holland was deputy direc-
tor of WPB and a director of the
smaller war plants corporation
and lick was assistant director
general for distribution under
Eberstadt.

FORT DEVENS, Mass. Feb.
ia R - The Army nurse is
going to keep step with the
WAACS, WAVES and other fem
mime military outfits in the mat
ter of fashions.
She will shortly don an Army
olive drab street uniform, in
place of her traditional Navy
blue, and to 60 with it she will
have a newly-designed cap diff
ferent in appearance from that
worn by any other organization,
officers said today.
The starched white hospital
uniform will be replaced by a
brown and white, pin-striped
seersucker for overseas duty, but
the white poplin will be worn
for service In hospitals in the
United States.
Capes will be retained as the
most serviceable quick-covering
garment for hospital duty in
this country and abroad, but
that too will be of olive drab in
pl &c of Navy blue.

by reason of the fact that your
employer is deducting it from
your wages. The Victory Tax is
a 5 per cent tax on income over
S624 per year. Each pay period,
your employer will deduct from
your pay check 5 per cent of
the amount which exceeds the
portion of the 1924 exemption
which is applicable TO that pay
period. In other words, if you
are paid weekly the employer
will deduct 5 per cent of the
excess over S12 Q/52 of S624).
Because you may receive in
come from sources other than
your wages, or for other rea-
sons, the amount which the en-
ployer deducts from your wages
may not correspond exactly to
the Victory Tax which you are
required TO pay. Therefore, at
the end of each year an adjust
ment must be made.
EMPLOYEE PAYS TOO
You will file a Victory Tax
return, and if the amount which
the employer has deducted and
paid over to the government is
not enough, you will be required
to pay the additional Victory
Tax at that time. If the amount
which the employer has deduct
ed is too much, the excess over
the Victory Tax will be applied
on your ordinary income tax. Or
if you do not owe any income
tax, it will be refunded to you.
The Victory Tax return which
you file at the end of the year
will be figured on Victory Tax
net income. In most cases this
will be almost the same as your
gross income for ordinary in
come tax purposes.
To figure your Victory Tax
net income, you begin with gross
income, excluding capital gains
and losses. If you use the\ OPP
tional Form 1O4OA in reporting
your income for ordinary tax
purposes, your Victory Tax net
income is your gross income
shown on that return. If, how
ever, you use Form 1040 you
are entitled TO certain deduc-
tons.
PERSONAL LOAN LIABLE
First, you are entitled to de-
duct the business expenses which
you subtracted from salaries and
other compensation for personal
services on line l of Form lO4O,
or which you deducted from
rents and royalties on line 6. II
you are not conducting your own
business, those are the only de-
auctions which you ri entitled

your boss will have deducted
from your weekly checks 5 per
cent of $4,000, or 500, by the
end of 1943.
Your postwar credit is 40 per
cent of this, or $40. When, in
March 1914, you file your Vic
tory tax return on your 1943
earnings. you may deduct this
$40 from the amount of the Vic
tory tax, but
You may make a deduction
ONLY up to the amount of war
bonds you have bought or to the
amount you have paid off on
mortgages, life insurance premi-
ums, etc, which you contracted
before Sept. /, 1912.
If, for example, you had
bought only S25 worth of war
bonds in 1913 (shame!) and paid
none of the specified debts, you
could not deduct the whole $40
but only S25.
Any credit you cannot use, or
do not choose to use. builds up
for repayment after the war.
AS to that part of the Victory
Tax which you kiss goodbye for
ever - the rs per cent for sim
gle men, so per cent for mar
ried persons: This is considered
a Federal income tax and, like
all Federal income taxes, is
NEVER deductible anywhere on
a Federal tax return.

that is your Victory Tax.
VICTORY TAX REBATE
The Victory Tax is made up
Of two parts. One part, a tax
that you kiss goodbye forever;
n part a tax that you will get
back after the war. If you are
single you will get back after
the war 25 per cent of what you
have paid in Victory Tax - up
TO $500 a year maximum. If you
are married, your post war
credit is 40 per cent of your Vic
tory Taxes, with a S1O00-a-year
maximum. You also get a 2 per
cent postwar credit for each
dependent (but not more than
500 a year per dependent.)
You do not have to wait un-
til after the war, however, to
use this credit. You may, if you
choose, use your postwar cred
its to reduce the tax on your
income for 1913 and thereafter.
To be eligible for the credit,
however, you must have pur-
chased war bonds, paid money
on your debts, or paid premiums
on insurance policies purchased
before September /, 1912. The
credit for payment of debts for
1913 is only allowed to the ex-
tent that you reduce the total
amount of your Indebtedness be-
low the smallest amount which
you owed between September /,
1912 and December 81, 1912.
The credit for purchases of war
bonds for 1943 is only allowed
10 the extent that the mount of
bonds which you own at the
end of 1943 exceeds the amount
which you owned at the begin
ming Of the yearx

Prepared by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for NEA
Service

Farmers-town, city and SUBJ
urban dwellers-and those who
have access to community or al
lotment type garden plots, all
have been assigned important
parts in the Victory Garden
drive of 1913.
Every farm family has been
called upon by Secretary of Ag-
riculture, Claude r. Wickard,
who heads the national food
program, to produce its entire
supply of vegetables, both fresh
and processed, and as much
fruit as possible this year. Where
possible, farm gardens also are
expected to produce vegetables
for nearby markets. For maxi
mum results, it will be neces-
sary for farmers in the North to
grow something in their gardens
from early spring to hard-freez-
ing weather, while farmers in
the South can make their maxi
mum contribution to the ma
tons food needs by growing
vegetables the year around.
MORE FRUIT NEEDED
Town, city and suburban
jewellers who have sufficient
open, sunny space and fertile
ground are being asked to grow
a large supply of vegetables for
home consumption. Suburban
home owners also should plant
more fruit, especially small
fruits wherever space permits.
People living in cities and
closely built areas usually will
not have the space for fertile
soil sufficient for a considerable
quantity of vegetables. These
are encouraged to seek commun-
ity or allotment gardens on res
idential outskirts or vacant in
dustrial property, accessible by
bus are trolley, to develop gar
den plots 3Ox50 feet or larger,
and to grow vegetables for home
consumption the entire season.
Schools in towns and rural
areas are encouraged to develop
school gardens, which should be
planned and managed on a scale
large enough to make available
abundant supplies of fresh and
processed vegetables for school
lunches .
Experienced gardeners can
perform an unusually valuable
service, not only in growing
larger and better gardens, where
possible, but in giving advice
and encouragement to new gar
deners. Many city jewellers pro-
badly will be trying their hands
at growing a vegetable garden
for the first time. With all the
help they can get from profess
sional sources, from seed deal
ers and nurserymen, and from
leaflets issued by the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture and
State Agricultural Colleges. they
still will need the practical sug-
gestions that are backed by long
experience.
Gardening in 1913 should be
undertaken with a genuine sense
of responsibility. 1t will provide
city, town and suburban resi-
dents with q worth while out
door activity which in many cas-
es will replace normal forms of
recreation. And it will at the
same time provide the oppor-
tunity for a serious contribution
to the nations wartime food pro-
gram. Those who plan and start
