PuIpwood Receipts
Top Goal Slightly
Py the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The War
Activities Committee of the Pulp
wood Consuming Industries reported
yesterday mill receipts of the wood
from which paper and related prod
ucts are made slightly surpassed the
1943 goal but would have to be in
creased sharply to meet 1914 require
ments.
Deliveries of domestic wood to
mills were estimated at 1906 900
cords while imports lifted total re-
ceipts to 14,814,000 cords. This COM
pared with l6,7l2,O00 cords in 1912.
These newspapers and magazines
deserve the thanks of the Nation for
their part in averting a critical
shortage which would have seriously
affected our whole war production
program" the committee said.
The biggest job is still ahead,
however" it added. ITO produce
the 100000 cords needed to meet
military and essential civilian re-
quirements this year, pulpwood pro-
duction will have to be increased
by at least 100000 cords. 1t should
be pointed out, moreover, that the
100000 cords is the minimum
need, not the maximum"

Army Plans Further
Reduction in Officer
Candidate Schools

A further reduction is contem.
plated in the monthly enrollments
in officer candidate schools in the
United States and overseas as the
War Department continues its "ta-
pering-off" policy, Undersecretary
OF War Patterson announced today
Since the program got under way
in September, 1941, more than
100000 men have been awarded
commissions after graduation from
the schools, the peak having been
reached in December, 1912, when
$4,000 officers were graduated.
Mr.. Patterson declared the 240,00C
graduates approXimated -flfths
of the total officers in the Army
which is around 100000.
Having met the initial pressing
demand for junior officers, the pro-
gram has been considerably cur
tailed the last year Last month
graduates were estimated between
$500 and 5000. A still further re.
duction is to be made at home and
overseas, Mr.. Patterson said.
$4,000 Returned.
A substantial number of the
junior officers are men who have
served overseas. From June. 1912
to November, 1943, nearly $4,000 en-.
listed men were returned from wal
theaters to attend officer candidate
schools in this country.
The program was maintained
overseas with four schools which
have accounted for approximately
$500 graduates to date. Three OF
these have been suspended, the one
remaining in operation being ir
Australia.
One way of reducing the OCs
program was through an order tx
overseas theater commanders tc
commission officers from other
sources. Through last November
more than 10000 new officers had
been supplied from sources outside
the candidate schools. Some OF
these appointments were made in
recognition of straight combat serv-
ices, others for specialized skills.

in this country, with a result that

But the Americans and French to

Supported New Deal.
During his years as a political
commentator, Mr.. Clapper was gen.
orally regarded as a friend and sup
porter of the New Deal, although he
frequently criticized President
Roosevelt on specific issues.
In the field of international poll
tics, he believed deeply in world CO.
operation as the only safeguard
against war. AS a young man, Mr..
Clapper had been a great admirer
of Woodrow Wilson, and much of
the World War Presidents idealism
remained in more adult years as a
part OF his outlook on world affairs.
Mr.. Clapper was known to his
friends as man whose interest,

1913 to 1916, he attended Kansas
University, and in the latter part OF
that year began his newspaper
career with the Kansas City Star.
After brief period Of service with
the newspaper, Mr.. Clapper joined
the United Press, and it was during
II years with that organization that
he laid the foundation of his reputa-
ton as one of the Nations outstand-
ing journalists.
After short assignments to United
Press bureaus in Chicago, st. Paul,
Milwaukee and New York, Mr.. Clap
per was assigned to cover" the
famous front porch" campaign Of
Warren G. Harding for the presi-
dency.
After Mr.. Harding's election, Mr..
Clapper was assigned to the White
House by the United Press, later be-
coming night manager and chief
political writer in Washington. In
1929 he succeeded Carl D. Groat,
now editor of the Cincinnati Post, as
full manager of the u: P.'s bureau
here.
Specialized in Politics.
Mr.. Clapper liked to think of him.
self first and foremost as a reporter,
and even during the years when he
served the U. P. as an executive,
there were few days when he did
not find time to write a news story.
Politics was his forte, but he fire.
quently wrote also on foreign affairs
and economics.
During his years as a reporter
Mr.. Clapper covered" some of the
biggest news events of his era.
Among them were the Harding
campaign, the Teapot Dome oil
scandal, the efforts of the Hoover
administration to meet the prob
lens of the depression, and, finally,
the political and economic evolution
of the New Deal. He has been a
familiar figure in the press gallery
at every national convention since
1920.
A series of stories which Mr..
Clapper wrote on nepotism in Con-
gress in 1930-31 attracted national
attention. The data he gathered in
this expose served as the basis of
his first book, 'Racketeering in
Washington.
Left U. p. in 1888.
At the end of 1888, Mr.. Clapper
severed his long connection with the
United Press to join the staff of the
Washington Post as a political
columnist, position which he
viewed as giving him more scope for
comment and Interpretation.
After two years with the Post, Mr..
Clapper was invited by Roy Howard
to rejoin the Scripps-Howard organ
ization as a political columnist for
its newspapers. So, as Mr.. Clapper
told friends in revealing his new
connection, he returned to his FIRST
love-"
Among Washington newspa per-
men and officials, Mr.. Clapper en-
joyed the reputation of being a hard
digger for facts, who expressed them

ment success as far as I am con-
cerned."
Although most of his best work
was done under the impetus of
newspaper datelines, Mr.. Clapper, in
recent years, contributed many arti-
cles to magazines.
Mr.. Clapper was a member of the
National Press Club, as we'll as a
director of its building corporation;
the Overseas Writers, the Gridiron
Club, in which he served a term as
president, and Sigma Delta Chi,
national journalistic fraternity.
In addition to his widow and son

Interest on Indebtedness, with
certain exceptions, is an allowable
deduction from income for Federal
income tax purposes. In comput-
ing normal tax and surtaX, deduct
ible interest includes both interest
in connection with a business or
profession, and interest on personal
Indebtedness. In computing VIC
tory tax, however, interest on per-
sonal debts is not allowable, and
deduction for interest is allowable
only if the debt was incurred (a)
In carrying on any trade or business,
or (b) for the production or collec-
ton of income, or Co for the man

nance of property held for the pro-
ouction of income.
Interest on business debts should
be shown either in schedule C Cd
on page 2 of the return form 1040,
to arrive at the net amount of rents
and royalties entered as item 7 of
the return, or in schedule c (2) to
arrive at the net profit (or loss)
shown in item of the return. In

included in item IL, under 'Deduc-
tions," and supported by an ex-
planation Gin schedule E. of the de-
duction. On short form 1040A, no
deductions should be entered for in
terest, because the tax table on this
form already allows the benefit of
an average amount for such deduc-
tionS.
Interest on personal Indebtedness
may include interest on a mortgage
on home, interest on the price of
household goods purchased on the
installment plan, as we'll as interest
on personal loans. Interest paid on
a judgment or on unpaid taxes Is
also deductible. 1t is not necessary
that the Indebtedness be secured by
lien or mortgage for the interest
to be deductible, but there must be
a legal obligation on the taxpayer
to pay the interest
In entering interest deductions,
several distinctions and qualifica-
tions must be kept in mind. In the
case of mortgage loan on ones
home, the contract frequently calls
for a monthly payment covering
both interest and amortization of
the loan. Since only the interest is
deductlble, it is necessary to sepa-
rate the two amounts to find the
interest paid during the year. In
terest on mortgage also must be
distinguished from other items often
included in home payments, as loan
insurance, accrued taxes, ard fire
insurance. Some of these items may
also be deductible, but not under the
heading of interest"
