History of Book
Making Described

George Wahr Sallade talked on
Books, Their Production and Dis.
tribution in Washtenaw County"
at a meeting OF the Washtenaw
County Historical Society, Friday
evening in the Rackham building.
Ann Arbor
As the grandson OF George Wahr,
who has been in the book business
for 70 years, Mr.. Sallade has a
unique opportunity to know his sub
ject through access to store rec
ords and his gradfathers memory.
The earliest bookseller in Ann Ar
bor,was George Corselius, editor OF
The Western Emigrant," in 1892.
He advertised that he had received
shipment OF books for sale from
his newspaper office. From that
date, Mr.. Sallade traced the COM
ing and going of % book dealers
before his grandfather came into
the picture. In 1888 George Osius
combined with Charles Ludlow and
George Wahr to buy out the John
Moore book store at 4 n. Main
ST. where Mr.. Wahr's down town
bookstore still operates. He said
that publishing has not kept pace
with distribution. That in the whole
state OF Michigan there have been
few publishers, and mere handful
in Ann Arbor. The University first
published in 1916, the most fam
GUS Ann Arbor publication, Dr..
Chase's Recipe Book. with more
than one and one.fourth million
copies. 1t went through 60 editions.
George wahr, himself, has pub
lished $50 titles.
The society is anxious to obtain
data on all early booksellers Of
other towns in the county.

WLB Ruling Limits Power
To Supersede State Laws
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The Sixth
Regional War Labor Board ruled
yesterday that its wartime powers
should supersede State statutes only
in Situations in which the effective
prosecution Of the war is involved"
The board, in majority opinion,
declined to order union shop
clause In contracts between the
Union Upholstering Co. and
Schweiger Manufacturing Co. of
Jefferson, Wis, and the Upholster-
ers' International Union of North
America, Local 301 (AFL). The
companies manufacture furniture
for civilian use only.
Under Wisconsin law, a union
shop clause must be approved by a
three-fourths majority vote In an
election held under direction Of the
Wisconsin State Labor Board be-
fore it may be included in a new
collective bargaining contract. The
WLB opinion held such a law
should be superseded only when
prosecution of the war is involved.
The controversy arose when the
union last May opened a contract
that had run from 1898 to 1943 to
negotiate new provisions.

Employees Withholding
 Certificates Prepared
Official Forms Being Distributed By Internal Revenue
 Department for Income Tax Exemptions

she must meet all four of the fol- lowing rules. The Dependent:
 i. Must be closely related to you.
 2. Receives more than one-half of his or her annual support from you.
 3. Is expected to have less than $500 gross income of his or her own during the year.
 1. Is a citizen of the United States or resident of the United States, Canada, or Mexico.
 When asked if complying with the four rules for credit for dependents now meant that an exemption may be claimed for someone over 18 years of age, MT. Kraemer replied that it did. ''The new law changed the rules so that you may now claim an adult who qualities as dependent"
 At the same time he also called attention to the fact that the new tax law, also eliminated credit for head of a family. A person must now qualify as a dependent under the rules listed to give an employe additional exemption credits. Thus taxpayers mother who is depend- ent on him for support but who has gross income amounting to $500 and expenses incurred, in earning that income of $500 may not be taken as a dependent because of the, fact taht the gross income exceeds $500, even though her net income is zero.
 The new certificate will be first used to compute payment of wages made on or after January 1, 1945.
