new TAX BLANKS
ARE MAILED OUT

Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, an
nounced Tuesday that mailing has
begun of the forms to be used by
an estimated 15,000,000 taxpayers
in filing their Declarations of Els
timated 1914 Tax, which are due
not later than April IS.
The forms form 1040ES) are
similar in appearance and general
content to the forms used for the
1913 declarations last September
and December. They are being
mailed to all persons who filed
declarations last fall. Others who
are required to file this year may
obtain copies from any Collector
Of Internal Revenue.
Approximately 50,0OO,0O OF us
have just filed our annual income
tax returns for 1943," Commission
er Nunan said. 'That took care
Of last years tax.
ssFor most taxpayers, the tax
that is withheld from their wages
IS sufficient to keep them substan-
TALLY paid up. Those taxpayers
have nothing further to file until
their annual returns are due in the
early months of 1915.
tBut there are about 15,0OO, 00O
of us who will owe some tax IN
addition to what is taken out OF
wages. There are two reasons Tor
that.
"First, we must remember that
the tax that is withheld from wages
is always at the lowest tax rate.
The withholding is not sufficient
to meet the total tax of wage
workers who earn enought to be
Liable for the higher tax rates
which apply to their higher in
comes.
Second, many of us have in
come from sources where no tax
is withheld-rents, royalties, divi-
dends, interest, business or pro-
fessional earnings, property or
stock transactions, etc.
''For both these groups, the law
requires a declaration to be made
for the purpose of estimating and
paying currently any tax that is
due over and above the tax that
is withheld from wages
Thus, a declaration is required
on or before April Is from all
citizens or residents of the United
States who expect to have during
1944-either alone or together with
wife or husband-W wages sub
ject to Withholding exceeding $1,000
for a SINCE person or $500 for a
married couple living together. CD |

TODAY and TOMORROW
By WALTER LIPPMANN

sought recognition as an indepen-
dent state through emissaries to
all the courts of Europe, diplo-
matte recognition came to be as
ISOLATED in American eyes with the
creation of governments.
Nearly a hundred years later,
under President Wilson. the notion
took hold that ii recognition could
create government, non-recogni-
ton could uncreate it. Wilson prac-
ticed non-recognition in Mexico,
not very successfully, and in GER
tain tiny Caribbean states more
successfully.
The State Department became
increasingly interested in non-rec-
ognition as a weapon. The rea-
son was that it had no other weap-
ons with which to back up its
diplomacy. From the end of the
last war and until this day the
State Department has had only
this one important weapon at its
own disposal. During the period
when the country was isolationist,
unarmed and pacifist the State
Department discovered h a t it
might by manipulating recognition
exercise some diplomatic influence
abroad
Now we are not isolationist but
the member Of a great alliance,
mot pacifist but at war and GER
tainly not unarned. Yet the State
Department. when it cannot think
of what else to do, or when it
wants to accomplish a great deal
without seeming to risk anything,
still almost invariably plays solo
on its favorite piano-the doctrine
of non-recognition.
In the case Of France, where it
is becoming e, historic absurdity
and almost a scandal, it must be
said that the State Department
would be willing to quit being so

all other sources if the total OF
such income plus wages subject
to withholding is Gay $500 or more
for a single person, or CD more
than 1924 for a married person, or
(c) $1,000 or more for a married
couple living together.
The first quarterly installment OF
estimated tax shown to be due on
the declaration should be made at
the time the declaration is filed
and the remainder should be paid
on or before June Is, September
Is, and December Is.
Farmers, who receive more than
80 per cent of their income from
farming, may, if they desire, post
pone the filing of declarations until
December Is. However, if they do
wait until December Is, the entire
amount of the estimated tax must
be paid at that ime.

In at least Jour serious cOntTO-
versies in which the United States
is engaged we have made it the
issue whether we would recognize
particular government. Recogni-
ton of a government is at stake
in Bolivia, in the Argentine, and
in France and in Italy. It might
be useful to consider whether the
State Department is not ove-Work-
ing this particular issue.
We can certainly save ourselves
great deal Of misunderstanding
and confusion if we remember that
the State Department has come to
attach an abnormal and extreme
ly dubious significance and impor-
lance to ''recognition'' and mon
recognition" In fact, it uses the
right to grant, withhold and with
draw diplomatic recognition as its
main instrument of Intervention
and of control in our foreign re-
lations. When we refuse to recog-
nize government, in effect we in
vite its overtime w by revolution
unless it yields When we recog-
nize a government, we serve no
tice that we are opposed to its
overthrow. Thus our peculiar doc
trine of recognition is to degree
which most Americans do not per.
haps realize a commitment in the
internal affairs of other nations.
1t is, as the State Department
employs it, revolutionary doc
t-ine in that it makes us the
judges of the right of other gov
ernments to exist, and therefore
their enemies or their sponsors.
The simpler and more normal doc
trine is that recognition has moth
ing to do with whether you like
or do not like a government, OF
whether you wish it to endure or
to fall. In the simpler view you
recognize any government which
as matter of fact governs. If
you think it an evil government
which threatens your vital inter-
ests, you break diplomatic rela-
tons as notice that you may go
to war. Because it is notice that
your next step will be to go to
war, it is in ordinary diplomacy
a highly effective measure.
But our complicated and inflat-
ed doctrine of non-recognition is
applied not only to nations with
which We have disputes that may
be grave enough to lead to war.
II is being applied to Italy. which
is an ex-enemy and a co-belliger-
ent. And it is now being applied,
in the case of France, to a friend
and comrade in arms.
This is to overwork and abuse
the doctrine. To apply it to un-
friendly and friendly nations alike,
when it is notice of war and when
no one is thinking of war, is ex-
ceedingly bad diplomatic tech
nique.
1t is not hard to see how and
why the State Department came
to make such abnormal inflated
use OF what ought to be a fairly
ordinary and matter of-fact mat
ter.
One Of the greatest and proud
est acts Of the young American
republic was the recognition in de-
fiance of all OF Europe and in
advance Of England, of the indie
pendence of the South American
republics. The Monroe Doctrine
was announced shortly thereafter
tc confirm the independence of our
Latin-American neighbors. Given

Beauties Hints
 Use Al-PurpOSe Outfit For Your Wartime Trips
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Wartimes ring in exceptions to to the rule of chic which says you should wear the right clothes in the right place at the right time. But just the same, there are some canons of good taste that survive, and those sticklers who observe them usually look better and feel peter because they do.
 A black crepe dress, for instance, can be worn on the street when you start out at g a. m., if you're not going to go home and change for a tea date. But this kind of dress is for after-lunch sprucing up, and it's nice to preserve its special functions. If you're. going on after you wind up your work, you're better dressed and will feel and look better in an all-purposes uit.
 Formal evening gowns, bound for the concert, the opera, the can- teen dance. travel on any kind of wheels these days, because of the gasoline shortage. But long skirts take 6 lot of punishment and lot of cleaning. The girl who wears them Is often embarrassed and an- moved. So, a switch to a short skirted glamor gown, if you can't be a Cinderella who rides in car- riage, is more practical and makes you look more appropriately dressed.

He meets all specifications and Hedy prepares to divorce Bill and fall in love with Craig. Complications arise when Craig decides he is not at all url- willing to become Hedy's second husband and sets out to thwart Bills frantic attempts to make his wife see sense. And it's merry time for the audience until Hedy discovers her heart is more reliable than her horoscope. In the cast are Spring Byington as the busy body neighbor and Fay Bainter as the Astrologer. Henry O'Neill and Robert Sully, a handsome young newcomer are seen as Powell's fel- low astronomers.

 SOME CONSOLATION
 And there is one thing in favor of strange names-nobody ever for- gets them. You can probably re- member the queer name of some kid you went to school with years ago, even though you have forgotten how many plain, dignified Marys and Johns there were in the same class.
 The good doctor is probably wor- rying for nothing-since in demo- cracy the kids with the funny names can make them stand for whatever they want them to.

 Potatoes Top The Economy List
BY GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff writer

Potatoes belong in the spring diet. Eaten daily, they provide one-fourth of your vitamin o quota-also some B vitamins, iron and other minerals and starch. One medium sized po- tato contains no more calories than an apple or banana and only half as much as piece of pie or ham, burger and roll. They are super abundant and cheap.
 Keep potatoes cool, but not cold, and dark. Light gives them green spots that are harmful to eat. And although you can cut off the green- ish part and eat the rest, it's waste- full. So cover your stored potatoes well with cloth or paper You can eat sprouted potatoes if you peel them. But never eat the sprouts. They have the same harmful sub stance contained in green spots.
 Potato Hot Pot
 Three cups sliced or diced pota- toes, 1 medium-sized onion, sliced, 2 tablespoons fat, 1-2 cups toma- toes. l-2 teaspoons salt, pepper.
 Cook the potatoes and onion in the fat 10 minutes. Add the toma- toes, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. For variety, add a cup of cooked green beans during the last 10 minutes of cook ing, or add @ dash of chili powder Or a few sprigs of thyme, or sprin- kle with little grated chese, just before serving.
 Potato Pancakes
 Two cups raw potatoes, 1-4 cup milk, egg, beaten slightly, ta- blespoons flour, teaspoon salt. pep per, tablespoon finely chopped onion.
 Crate potatoes and put immedi- ately into milk. Add egg, flour, salt, pepper and onion. Drop from a ta- blespon onto a greased frying pan. Cook until well Drowned and crisp on both sides. Serve hot.
