Russians Crush
Nazi Thrusis
HurI Beck Fierce
Counter-Attocks
By RICHARD McMURRAY

The Russians announced to-
day that they had beaten down
heavy rattacks in the
Lwow and Stanislawow sectors,
aimed apparently at throwing
the Red Army off balance and
dissupting an offensive into the
rolling plains of Poland toward
Germany itself.
The Germans threw masses of
planes, tanks and infantr into
the violent see-saw fighting and
managed to take some towns
before the Russians throttled the
threat. In the Crimea, the COR
nerned Germans and Romanians
offered stubborn resistance in
the siege of Sevastopol but were
being pressed step by step to-
ward the sea. Many prisoners
were taken. Moscow said the
Russian bridgehead in Bessa-
rabia on the west bank of the
Dnestr had been widened.
TIDE STEMMED
The momentum of the Rus
sian drives of all fronts had
been arrested, temporarily at
least-perhaps by mud as much
as by the German defenses, and
perhaps by creative pause
necessary for the massing and
regrouping of Soviet forces for
the climactic summer campaign.
British planes scared into
Bulgaria today to tangle the
rail yards of .Plovdiv, 80 miles
southeast of Sofia. Other Allied
planes from Italy bombed Ger
man communications beyond
Rome around Florence. Ancona.
Livorno and Piombino. Street
fighting flared again in Casino
and the Allies took prisoners on
the Anzio beachhead and near
the Adriatic.
Hitler was SIS today and 81
lent. Goering and Goebbels did
the forensics urging steady
loyalty now that 1.-The war stu
alton has become difficult and
tense and "a thousand dangers
may lie ahead. y
STAB AT ENGLAND
A few German planes raided
England. In the massive Amer
lean attacks on western Ger
many yesterday e mt r n &
around Kassel, 81 German
planes were destroyed and six
bombers and two fighters were
lost.
Sweden decided to reject an
American and British demarche
asking her TO halt exports of
ball bearings to Germany. a
Stockholm newspaper said. Fin
land delivered her negative re-
ply to Russian peace offers.
Turkey informed two fine Ro-
manian passenger ships in the
bosphorus when they appeared
steaming up, probably to COM
NIT suicide in an attempted res
cue in the Crimea.

High Interest
in Charter
Mony Seek Posts
on Commission

Interest of civic-minded local
organizations in revision of the
city charter (approved by the
voters April 81 has already
been displayed by applications
for petitions to be circulated IN
behalf of aspirants to the nine
person Charter Revision Com
mission, the City Commission
was informed at last nights
meeting.
City Clerk Joseph II. Mat
thews, who announced the APP
plications, said the proposal to
elect nine persons TO the new
commission will be offered at
the July IL state primary-that
is, unless more than a score OF
candidates show up. If too many
names are offered, Matthews
told the commission, the citys
voting machines will not bear
the load, and a special election
would be required. Officials be-
lieve the field for the nine posts
will be kept to maximum OF 10
names, and this will avoid spe-
cial election expense.
Commissioners voted last
night to place the matter on the
July ballot.
Persons seeking the Charter
Revision Commission posts must
fill the regular election petitions
with Is to 35 names Of qualified
voters. Although civic groups
are sponsoring candidates, indiv-
iduals unaffiliated with organi-
cations are entitled to place
their names before the voters.
No salaries or fees will be
paid the nine-person charter
group, which will face a busy
schedule of meetings before a
new charter is devised to re-
place the present 1914 model.

COP

TO the National Republican Con-
vention in Chicago, while state
COP leaders battled to decide
control of the party's machinery
at the state conclave which
opened this morning in Detroit.
Approximately SO Macomb
county Republican delegates and
COP stalwarts were understood
to be present in the convention
halls as candidates for state Of
flee held countless hotel room
conferences designed to simplify
designation of party favorites
and to establish clear cut
platform for party prediction
contests.
LAST MINUTE
Gov. Harry F. Kelly left un-
til just before the formal con-
vention opening the completion
of a slate of candidates for dele
gate-at- large acceptable to him.
He is expected to be one of them,
with Secretary of State Herman
II. Dignan and John r. Deth-
mers, Republican state chair
man, among the others. Former
Governor Alex j. Groesbeck,
George Fink, president of the
Great Lakes Steel Corp, of De-
troit, James E. Davidson of Bay
City, Attorney General Herbert
j. Rushton, and Mrs. Dudley G.
Hay of Detroit, anti-McKay ma
tional committee woman, also
were mentioned. Mckay said he
had no slate of candidates.
Dignan, who comes from
OwosSo and is recognized as the
key man of Dewey's Michigan
organization, said he was salts
fled with the wording of the res
olution proposed to praise the
New York governor. He said he
never had favored committing
the delegation to vote for Dewey,
and the resolution stopped short
of this.
FALL-IN-STEP
1t expressed the sentiment
that "the Republicans of Mich
igan, falling in step with the
East, West and South, feel that
our delegates to the National
Convention should bear in mind
- in considering the Dewey for
President status that he is
the 10-to-one favorite of the
voters of this state as the pres
idential nominee"
Dignan and a number of other
state elective officials, chiefly
State Treasurer D. Hale Brake
and Auditor General Vernon j.
Brown, backed Kelly's hand in
the fight with Mckay. State
Highway Commissioner Charles
M. Ziegler announced he was
neutral, and the Governor S
forces said Lieutenant Governor
Eugene c. Keyes had shown no
sign Of helping Kelly, whom he
once threatened to oppose for
reelection.
There was evidence tn a
Reyes might find himself op-
posed for reelection by at least
one aspirant. Former Attorney
General Thomas Read of Shelby
limited he was seriously consid-
ering run for the office of
Lieutenant Governor, which he
has held in the past, and said
there was no basis for reports
he might run for Governor.
The Michigan Federation of
Young Republicans, meeting in
connection with the convention
voted down an effort to place it
on record as opposing Mckay
for reelection. David Vokes of
d c r i t, its treasurer, said

CREDIT FOR DEPENDENTS

AS another device to adjust the
income tax to every persons ability
to pay, a credit for dependents
may be deducted by taxpayers from
their income before computing the
tax.
Credits for dependents are granted
against both the regular income tax
and also the victory tax, but are
figured differently.
A dependent, under the tax laws,
Is a person who receives his chief
support from the taxpayer and who
is either (a) urder 10 years of age,
or (b) incapable of self-Support be-
cause mentally or physically defec-
tive. Husbands and wives however
are not counted as dependents
since they are taken care Of by the
larger personal exemption granted
married persons ($l,2o0 in CON-
parison with single persons ($5oo)
Note that the definition of de-
pendents for purposes of this credit
is very different from the definition
used to qualify q taxpayer as q
head of family" In the head OF
family" definition dependents must
be closely related to and live in
the same household with the tax
payer. Neither requirement is nee
essary in the definition for credit
for dependents" However depend
ents eligible for this credit must be
persons under 10 or incapable OF
self-support, and these qualifica-
lions do not apply to the head OF
family" definition.
The credit for dependents Is
based upon actual financial depend
ency, and not mere legal depend
ency, and the taxpayer must have
provided more than one half Of the
dependents support. For this rea-
son, many children who make reg
ular contributions to the support OF
parents cannot claim the parents as
dependents" because the contribu-
lions are less than one half Of the
parents support.
The term mentally or physically
defective" includes not only those

Sunday, the Feast of the Holy
Family, child delinquency was the
subject of many sermons in the
Catholic churches Of the city. 1t
was stated that the Holy Family
should be the model Of Christian
families today. Family life, how
ever, it was stated by Rev. j. Oliver
Cronan, assistant at st. Margarets
church, Willow street, is not what
1t was ten and twenty years ago. It
is not the children that are delin-
quent, he said, but the parents.
There can be no FAMILY life in
homes where both parents are
working in defense plants, he point
ed out. The child patterns himself
after the father and mother, and
their irregular habits are practiced
by children of high school age. In
conclusion, Father Cronan said
that it was the duty of such delin-
quent parents to put their houses

Although some additional supplies
