.0PA Plans 10 Ration
New, 2d-CIass Tires
On 0ccupationaI Basis
February ! to See End
Of Mileage Requirement;
Some B Drivers Eligible
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Inc OIIlCe OF frlce AQm1nlS-
tfation announced today that,
beginning Tuesday, new and
second-class passenger car tires
will be rationed on an essen
tiality basis rather than on a
mileage basis ass at preSent-a
move which will deny tires to all
A book holders In the East but
will make some B card drivers
eligible for new tires.
Ofhcials said ration boards will
have the authority to determine
the essentially of motorists driv-
ing within a broad outline given
them by the national OPA ONCE.
Currently only q motorist whose
mileage ration calls for COL or more
miles Of occupational driving a
month is eligible for new tires. Mo-
torists driving less mileage have
been receiving used and other lower
grade tires. The new regulation
automatically will deperive all A
book holders, in the East at least,
from getting any tires.
Boards to Decide Rating.
New and used tires under the
plan will be given out to motorists
according to their rating of es-
sentiality as established by the
ration boards.
In Washington and the East mo-
torists are permitted to use their
A book gasoline for any purpose they
wish. Essential occupational mile
age is calculated above the A allot-
ment, which is "a gallons of gaso-
line every three months.
In other sections of the country
the A book allotment is "a gallons
every two months, that includes a
small amount of essentially occupa-
tional driving. So, presumably,
some motorists outside of the East
will be entitled to tires under the
new plan.
Officials said that an undeter-
mined number of B book holders,
currently eligible only for second
class tires, probably will be able to
get new ones under the plan.
The move was described as a
means of safeguarding the Nations
small stock of tires and distribut-
ing them on strict basis of essen
tiality of the motorist to the war
effort.
Stocks Dwindle.
Dwindling stocks of used and sec
ond-grade tires made the move
necessary rather than any improve
ment in the synthetic rubber and
tire programs. Off1cials said that
only 100000 tires of the low grades
remained undistributed and the cur
rent plan of giving them to A and B
book holders is using up this supply
at the rate of about $50, 900 month.
They said, obviously, action to con-
serve this stock had to be taken.
OPA estimated that under the
new plan approximately 100000 new
tires, including some pre-Pearl Har-
Dor models. as we'll as ones made
from synthetic rubber, would be
distributed monthly to the Nation S
motorists. This is only a slight
increase over the number of new
tires rationed last month, which was
approximately 100000. Prior to last
October, when OPA raised the
eligibility requirements for new tires
to motorists driving more than 600
miles month, approximately 900,-
900 new tires were distributed
monthly.

Conferees Hopeful
Of Completing Work
On Tax Bill Today
Reneeotiotion Issue
And Five Amendments
Still to Be Settled
BY the Associated Press.


Congressional conferees set out
today to complete work on the
$2,315 100000 new tax bill.
Chairman George of the Senate
delegation said he was quite hopeful
of getting through with the measure
before nightfall. Only matters still
in dispute are series of amendments
to the War Contracts Renegotiation
Act, and five miscellaneous amend
ments to the tax bill proper. The
bill will raise the total Government
income to more than $43 SOC, ,000, 900 a
year.
Much of the fire was taken out
Of the renegotiation squabble when
the Senate Finance Committee
backed down on some amendments
which were criticized as too favorable
to contractors.
Still to be decided was a proposed
per cent tax on pari-mutuel betting
at race tracks, voted by the House
but rejected by the Senate. Decision
has been reserved, too, on the SEN
ate's so-called hobby amendment
which would restrict taxpayers
charging off against their ordinary
income losses on consistently losing
businesses.
Social Security Rate Frozen.
The conferees' most important ac-
tion yesterday was ratification of
the Senate's freeze of the Social
Security payroll tax rate at l per
cent throughout 1914. The Social
Security law calls for automatic
stepups in the payroll levy, but fol
three years Congress has decided the
reserve fund is large enough.
AS on two previous occasions, the
move to block the increase devel-
oped in the Senate. Senator Van
denberg, Republican, of Michigan

the city, he wrote, adding that the
Nazi censorship prohibited him from
giving a detailed picture of the
damage and the number of victims.
All Swedish correspondents made
1t clear the attack was one of the
severest yet directed against Berlin.
Forty-seven RAF bombers failed
to return from the Berlin and other
night blows-the heaviest British
loss in the 72-night battle to erase

If they filed jointly for 1922 and are filing separately for la4 3 and the joint tax was smaller than the total of their separate l943 taxes, they may divide the joint 1922 tax between them ia any proportion they desire, 50 long as neither share exceeds his 1943 tax.
 If they filed jointly for 1ez2 and are filing separately for 1943. and the joint 1922 tax was larger than the total of their separate l943 taxes, then the difference may be divided between ther1 and each should report, as his 1942 tax, his share Of the differ ence plus the amount Of his le43 tax
 In the second place, they need to know how 10 figure their fo-- giveness.
 If they filed separately for l942 and are filing jointly for lo43, they figure their forgiveness the same as married couple which had filed jointly in both years.
 If they filed jointly for 1942, and are filing separately for l943 they must figure their forgiveness together. find out how much un- forgiven tax they owe together, and then divide the unforgiven tax between them. In this last instance, the joint figuring must be shown on both returns and 6 statement must be attached show- ing how the unforgiven tax was divided.

Your Federal Income Tax
No. Is
TAX FORGIVENESS

When the pay-as-you-go system of income tax collection started last year, you already owed your 1922 tax To relieve you of pay ing two years' taxes in one, Con- gress, decided to forgive part of one years tax.
 Your l943 tax return will show you how 10 figure how much tax was forgiven and how much you still owe. In general, compare 1922 tax with 1923 tax to deter mine which is larger. You will be forgiven part of the smaller, the balance of which you must pay plus all of the larger years tax.
 However,, you will credit against these tax liabilities (a) any payments you made on your 1922 tax, tb) any income and vic tory taxes withheld in 1943 from your, wages by your employer, andac) any estimated tax you may have paid in September and Dec enher, l943..
 If, after taking these credits, you owe a balance, you can post pone for one year eWithout inter est any part of the balance up to one half of the amount of the unforgiven portion of the smaller years tax.
 The amount of your forgiveness depends upon the size of the smaller years tax, and on wheth- CT you are in the armed forces. However, in the vast majority of instances, the forgiveness will be simply 75 percent of the small CT years tax. Naturally, if you had no tax for one of the two years, you have nothing to be forgiven
 Here are the methods of figur- ing tax forgiveness;
 tD ii the smaller years tax
 was $50 or less, il is all for
 given .H
 (2l If the smaller years tax
 was over $50 but less than
 $66.6a, the forgiveness is
 $50.
 (31 If the smaller years tax
 was over s6667, the for - '''"h'gsveness' is 75 percent: ., o,AAl,-slf yoss..ygers. ,lln any of. the l armed forces in active ser
 vice at any time during the
 years 1922 or l943, and your 1922 tax was larger than 1943, your forgiveness is in- creased by recornputing your 1922 tax to eliminate as much of it's excess over the 1928 tax as is due to learned net income" This may result in the 1922 tax as re- computed being no. greater than the ls4a tax.
 Special rules apply in those in- stances in which' a married couple filed either joint. or separate re- turns for 1922. but are filing diff. ferent foE. 1s43, .:....,... ........-
 Tn the first place, they need to know how to enter the 1922 tax. If they filed separately for 1922 and are filing jointly for 1e43 they should add their 1922 taxes,
