Leonard Spruell
Returns From War
In South Pacific

"Just lucky, that's all", is the
belief of Leonard Spruell who re-
turned to his home in Coolidge
Saturday with a medical discharge
from the Seabees after more than
four months in hospitals from
Guadalcanal to San Diego.
Spruell, chief carpenters mate
(AA) miraculously escaped death
February 18th when a Japanese
shell fired either from a submar-
inc or corvette exploded beneath
Jeep in which he was riding
with a warrant officer on a small
island off the coast of Guadalcan-
al The warrant officer and many
other construction workers oper-
ating huge shovels nearby were
killed and Spruell himself has
little knowledge of what actually
transpired since he suffered a
brain concussion and back injur-
les which rendered him uncon-
scious for 10 days.
"The shell came directly
through the top of the jeep and !
remember noticing a hole through
the floorboards as the shell pass
ed between us an instant before
the explosion" Spruell says.
Indicating the army air force is
doing a fine job keeping the skies
over Guadalcanal and nearby is
lands free from marauding Jap
planes, Spruell declares little at
tention is paid by the men to
Japanese airmen as they come ov
er the islands of the south Pacific
because they are sure the Ameri.
can airmen will either shoot them
down or drive them off.
When injured Spruell was cross
ing a coral point protruding from
the jungle on which construction
workers were laboring, exposed
white coral y. oviding an excellent
target for the offshore shelling.
Spruell had been in the south
Pacific but a month before he
was wounded but during that time
he learned that weather" was the
worst enemy of American combat
troops. His outfit, while primar-
lily a construction group, was thor
oughly trained and equipped for
combat duty.

The machinery for collecting 20
per cent--after exemptions-from
the wages and salaries OF all in
come tax payers beginning this
month was set In motion today by
the treasury
Immediately after President
Roosevelt signed the pay-as you-go
tax bill. orders were flashed to in
ternal revenue collectors through
out the country releasing millions
OF forms and instruction sheets for
employers, who became the gov
ernment's collection agents.
Although the legislation became
effective July l, It's Withholding
provisions will not be felt by the
majority of taxpayers until July 8
or later-July 10 for most people
on a weekly wage basis:
This is because Of provision
applying the 90 per cent withhold
ing levy TO payroll periods which
begin on or after July l. Thus
the first weekly payroll period in
July from whcih deductions could
be made would end on July 8.
The treasury suggested that EN-
ployers have the following or simi-
lar notices printed for insertion in
pay envelopes or inclusion with
pay checks when the first salary
deduction is made after July un-
der the new income tax law:
"The new 'pay-asyougo' income
tax law became effective July l,
1943. II requires your employer
TO withhold a certain portion of
your pay. This amount is not a
new tax, but is in payment of your
regular federal income and Victory
tax.
Beginning with the pay you are
receiving today your employer has
withheld this tax from your wage.
Therefore, you have now begun to
pay your regular income and Vic
tory tax as you earn the income
subject TO that tax.
1.-The money withheld is not
! kept by your employer. but is turn
ed over to the Z. S. treasury. 1t
is your money and stands to your
credit as a prepayment of your
federal income and Victory tax
After the close of the year your
employer will give you a receipt
showing exactly how much of your
money has gone to the U. S.
treasury toward the payment of
your taxes. Keep that receipt. 1t
is your evidence of tax paid.
And federal income tax paw
ments you made during the first
two quarters of this year March
Is and June L stand to your
credit on this years income tax" :"
Married taxpayers in commun-
ity property states, such as New
Mexico, will have to pay the new
Withholding tax just as in those
