The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports slight decline in the num-
Der of strikes and workers involved
In July but the number OF man DAYS
OF idleness was the same as in June

Procedure in FiIinq
Simp|ified Tax Forms
Outlined by Nunan

The detailed procedure of filing
income tax returns under the SIM
phfled method authorized by Con-
gress last spring was announced to.
day by Joseph D. Nunan, jr., COM
missioner of internal revenue.
In accordance with the provisions
Of the Individual Income Tax Act
of 1914. Mr.. Nunan has authorized
use Of withholding tax receipts fol-
this purpose. He said it would SIM
pllfy the annual task of filing re-
turns for millions of persons by en-
abling them merely to state their in
come and exemptions on their with
holding receipts instead of filling out
the regular income tax blank.
Form Is Revised.
A withholding receipt. showing to-
tai wages paid and total income tax
withheld during the year, is required
by law to be furnished by each en-
ployer to his employees on or before
January 81. The form of the with
holding receipt has been revised to
include the necessary questions and
instructions which will permit most
employees to use it as a return, Mr.
Nunan said.
He pointed out that this form of
return may be used by any one
whose total income in 1914 was less
than $4,000, consisting entirely OF
wages shown on withholding re-
ceiptS, or of such wages and not
more than sl00 of other wages
dividends and interest. Mr.. Nunan
said that all other taxpayers will
be required to make their returns
on Form 1040, which also is being
simplified in accordance with the
new tax law.
Will Send Bill or Refund.
A taxpayer using his withholding
receipt for his tax return should
fill it in and mail it to his local
collector of internal revenue by
March Is, l945. The collector will
figure the tax. give the individual
credit for the tax already paid and
send the taxpayer a bill or a re-
fund for the balance, Mr.. Nunan
said.
A special feature of the new form
Will help to solve the problem of
many husbands and wives as to
whether to file separate or joint
returns. If the combined income of
a husband and wife permits use of
the new form. they may combine
their returns on one receipt, and
the collector will figure their tax on
either their combined income or
separate returns, whichever is to
their advantage.

Col. Whitney. scion of one of the
Nations wealthiest families and a
horse racing and polo enthusiast. is
the husband of the former BETSY
Gushing, first wife of James Roose-
welt, the Presidents eldest son.
A family attorney, Mai. L. A
Beard, said the rumor began circu-
lating here yesterday and he had
been unable to determine its origin
or obtain confirmation.
He said the rumor was to thu
effect that Col. Whitney was taken
prisoner while riding in a jeep with
other officers in what was believed
to be friendly territory.
Son Of the late Payne Whitney
financier and philanthropist, Col
Whitney went to England as q cap
tain in 1943 to head the public rela-
tions Office of the 9th Air Force
He was shifted to italy as a liaison
officer early this year, but there

Ke||and Calls Attack
On Pearl Harbor Fault
OF Administration
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTPELIER, VT, Aug. co.
Clarence Budington Kelland, author
and Republican national committee
man from Arizona, declared today
that President Roosevelt cannot
avoid responsibility for the Pearl
Harbor naval disaster which he said
"lengthened the duration OF the
Japanese war, possibly by years"
In a speech before the Vermont
State Republican convention, Mr..
kelland charged administration ne
glect Of elementary precautions"
had subjected America to the dis
grace of the most tragic naval dis
aster in our history"
Instead of having no effect upon
the course Of the Pacific war, Pearl
Harbor heightened it by months,
perhaps by years. and the odium
must attach to the highest authority
which permitted the condition to
exist" he added.
Mr.. Kelland said he was more
than disappointed" with the Presi-
dents recent Bremerton Wash J
speech, which he declared tossed
the war and our great and success
full production of arms, airplanes
ships and materials of war into the
arena Of partisan politics"
Mr.. Kelland predicted a Dewey
Bricker victory in the November
elections, with the voters turn
ing over the conduct of our foreign
affairs to an able, far-sighted, cour-
ageous President belonging to that
party which alone has announced a
coherent foreign policy and postwar
plan"
Mr.. Kelland charged that the ad-
ministration, knowing the immi-
nence Of war" had appeased Japan
by supplying her with "oil and scrap
iron to be used against our ally,
China. and eventually against our
selves"
He also questioned what he
termed neglect" in garrisoning and
supplying the Philippine Islands
for defense and in making 1T pos-
sible for Japan to invade this con-
tinent and establish bases upon the
islands Of Alaska"
