Politics
 -M- 

Despite the fact that every in- dication now is for Q Roosevelt sweep in Connecticut, there are plenty of Democrats who don't think the local organization will be able to pile up a very substan- tial majority here. However, Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney is confident that the Democratic ticket will go out of Waterbury with at least a $500 majority, all fhe way down the line. He doesn't Icok for much cutting either close to the actual figure in his pre- dictions. He isn't given to boast ing about tthe power of the party organization, but he does have enough contacts to give him req Sonable idea of what direction the mass of voters are going. He also looks for pronounced Democratic swing in Bristol, where he is enl- ployed and where he says labor is predominantly in favor of contin- uation of the Democratic admins tration of the President.
 There appeared to be a note of hySteria in some of the remarks of local Republican candidates during the latter part of this week. Radio utterances of some of the GOPers bOrdered on the dramatic, but scarcely the actual state of affairs. Certainly the Republican party went all out for a radio campaign this fall. It threw it's candidates at the listening public with no regard for their ear-drums. Democrats, on the contrary, were extremely moderate in both their appear anceS and their remarks. All of which may have a definite in- fiuence on the way the vote will so next Tuesday.
 Up Massachusetts way Republi- cans decided that Senator David ! Walsh was to be their life yRver, indicating how worried they lave been about losing the state. Following close on his declaration oor the Roosevelt Truman ticket she greatest vote -getter the Boy State has ever had-Sen. Walsh took issue with a statement made by Sen. Truman after the hitter had made a trip thruOgh Massachusetts this week and was reported as branding Walsh as isolatiOniSt. Republicans seized on this with glee and are trying to bait the states senior senator into a lengthy controversy which. might swing his constituents. Senator Walsh is too willy cam paigner for this, though, and while he may not take the remarks of Senator Truman sitting down he still won't start an inter-party fight on the eve of an election Chat probably would even carry over to 1946 when he's up for re- election.

do the figuring and determine
whether the taxpayer owes an adj
ditional amount or Is entitled to o
refund.
Two other types Of simple forms
will be provided for the remainder
Of the $4,000, 900 taxpayers. An estl-
mated 100000 - those whose in
come is under 5000 but who re-
ceive more than 500 from sources
not subject to Withholding or who
want to claim more than the auto
matte 10 per cent for deductions
allowed under the new law--will use
one form, and those l0,000, 900 earn
ing more than 5000 year will use
the other.
In passing the simplified system
Of reporting, Congress wiped out
the present six per cent normal tax,
graduated surfaces and victory tax
of three per cent. 1t replaced them
with a new three per cent normal
tax on all income over $500; New
graduated surtaXes ranging from 20
per cent on the first $4,000 to 81
per cent on all over $200, 900; and
a uniform exemption Of $500 for the
taxpayer. plus $500 for q wife and
$500 each for every other depend
ent.
To make it still easier for the
harried taxpayer, the bill provided
that those filing tax declarations
will be given until Jan. is follow
ing the taxable year to file an
amended form. This reduces to zero
the chances that anyone would be
subject to penalty for underestimate
ing income by more than 20 per
cent. The last heretofore for final
amendment has been Dec. is.
Another move to the taxpayers
benefit was the broadening OF the
dependency section of the law. The
bill provides that q taxpayer can

The President discussed the plans
for an international organization at
great length, but declined to give
any details Of the shape 1t will take.
His remarks started with the old
League Of Nations-and the hopes
which accompanied 1t that 1t would
end war for all times. He followed
through to the present time and
advised that the emphasis now was
upon unity, substantiated by expert
ence, that 1t will be extremely diff
ficult to devise machinery to end
all wars for all times. Thus. he
added. the present plans were for
organization.
He emphasized that he felt that
the League Of Nations got begged
down in American politics instead
of being regarded in a non-partisan
light. The objective today, he said,
was to establish some machinery
for talking things over with other
nations, without affecting the in
dependence or integrity Of the
United States.
