:. The evarageETAO I1w ? -?.. The average person spent much more for taxes last year than he will realize until he sits down with a check list and adds them up. Some of those taxes are not deductible. Here is a list Jt those which you should ttemi2e in preparing material for the income tax return.
 II. Some taxes you can find in your check book or other records. Some were paid almost penny by penny. Of the latter, you probably have no exact record. So I shall suggest methods of estimating them which are approved .lnof1cially by government experts although, offi- cially, federal agents have to say that you are required to keep exact records.
 Admissions tax: How much did you spend on paid admissions last year? Take 10 per cent of that amount as the tax. It will be very close.
 Automobile registration and drivers licenses; city fees, licenses, permits, privilege taxes; taxes on club dues; customs and state excise duties paid on imports brought in for your own use; tax on safe de- poSit box rentals; taxes on tele- phone, telegraph, cable and radio phone messages, and the new 10 per cent tax on travel tickets; state income tax (but not federaD: city and state franchise taxes, real es- tate taxes, personal propery taxes; all stamp taxes, including the fed- eral use tax" on automobiles and motor boats. For each of these, show what you actually paid.
 City and state sales taxes. These are difficult to cover by any general formula because almost every sales tax differs somewhat from all oth- CTS. If you have no better guide this will help: When food is not includ- ed, most families spend around a third of their income on articles subject to the more common types of sales tax. So take one-third of your income, multiply 1t by the sales tax rate, and this will give an idea how much you paid. For example, your income was $3648.92. One third of that is $1261.31. If the sales taxe rate is per cent, your tax would have been around $24.33.
 State Gasoline Tax. If you do not know exactly what you paid: Take the mileage you drove last year, di- vide 1t by the number of miles your car averages to the gallon, and nul- tiply this by the tax rate (only state tax. not federaD per gallon. For ex- ample, you had an A card and drove 1450 miles last year. Your car gives 16 miles to the gallon. You used 91 gallons. If the tax rate in your state is six cents, the tax paid would have been about $5.46.
 This list can be very useful if you will check each item and, if 1t fits your case, put the tax on your list for deduction.
 Tomorrow I shall discuss some other items for deduction.

 Comedian Indicted

grand jury. So had G-Men. city officials of Beverly Hills = where most of the movie stars live = and servants from Chaplin's mansion secluded behind a high wall in Benedict canyon.
 Stunning Blow
 Issuance of the indictment late yesterday came as stunning blow to Hollywood, which had made val iant efforts to keep its members out of headlines, and to Chaplin and his I8-year-old bride, Oona O'Neill.
 Husband respectively of Mildred Harris, Lita Gray, and Paulette God- dard before Miss O'Neill, Chaplin posted guards around his estate and took his phone off the hook. Miss Barry, who brushed away references to the old saying about a-woman- scorned, said if he'd only married her, instead of Playwright Eugene O'NeilrS Sloe-eyed daughter, he'd be making movies today, rather than hiring lawyers.
 The Brooklyn born Miss Barry said that for salary of $75 8 week, later raised to $100, she studied Shakespeare with Chaplin for a year and submitted to his love- making, only to have him take her off the payroll late in 1941.
 Charles seemed to be attracted to me almost at once. He signed me to a contract and told me that he was going to star me and we be- came more than friends. All of a sudden I was not so interested in my screen career as I was just loving Charles" Miss Barry said.
 She added that during her career as Chaplin'S "Hunchy" - which she said was his baby talk for Honey she had submitted to two abortions and that after one of them she had remained at his home to recuperate.
 Sweet and Kind
 "He was SO sweet and kind to me -then," she said.
 Not until she had returned to Hollywood from Omaha, via Tulsa, did she learn that she was pregnant, she continued.
 Miss Barry later filed a paternity suit against Chaplin, who settled it temporarily by paying for her hos pitalization, giving her $100 weekly, and agreeing to submit to 8 blood test. The test, in which drop of his blood will be compared micro scopically with drop drawn from the veins of Miss Barry'S four months old daughter, will take place next month.
 Such tests are inconclusive, but if the results indicate maybe" in con- nection with Charpin's possible fatherhood, Miss Barry will press her suit in civil court.

DEDUCTIONS FOR TAXES


 Taxes are, in general, a deductible item in arriving at net income for Federal normal tax and surtax ptr- poses.
 In the case of taxes incurred in connection with a trade or profess sion, the amount is shown in Sched- ule c (2) to arrive at net profit Cor loss) from business or profession en- tered in item (8) of the return, Form 1040; taxes on rental property should be shown in Schedule c CD, while other taxes deductible should be shown in item 13 of Deductions. |" Taxes shown in item 13 must also be supported by an explanation Gin Schedule p of the deduction. On short Form 1040A, no deductions should be entered for taxes, because the tax table on this form already allows the benefit of an average amount for such deductions.
 The deductibility of taxes is sub ject to four general limitations:
 CD Taxes are generally deductible only by the person upon whom they are, by law, imposed;
 (2) Federal income, war profits, and excess profits taxes are not de- ductible for Federal income tax pur- poses;
 (3) Taxes for local benefits, such as assessments for street, sidewalk, sewage, and other local improve ments which tend to enchance the value of the property taxed, are not deductible except allocable to main- tenance or interest charges;
 (4) The tax must be a tax for pub lie purposes. Charges for govern mental services such as municipal water bills, parking meter charges, service fees, and the like are not de- ductible as taxes, but are deductible as expenses if incurred in a trade or business.
 In the case of State and local ''sales taxes" imposed in the first in- stance upon retailers. if the amount of the tax is measured by the price of the article sold, or by & sum per

War Status
 Grave e'-FDR

Washington, Feb. 11.-(UP)- President Roosevelt today described the military situation at the Allied beachhead below Rome as very tense, but called attention to the fact that the Allies still have con- trol of the sea and the air in that area.
 MT. Roosevelt said that while the fighting is very heavy he thought we should realize that we still have control of the sea on the whole subject. of course, to bombing raids and also control of the air.
 We are praying for good weather, MT. Roosevelt said. adding that it would be quite a factor in deciding the issue because it would facilitate aerial and naval operations in SUD- port of the beachhead.
 He described as the most import- ant news today the fact that Aus tralian and American columns driv- ing from different directions on Huon Peninsula in northeastern New Guinea had jointed hands. This. the President added, means
 
 that this particular coastal strip in northeast New Guinea has been cleared of the enemy.
 He said Australians moving up from the southeast and American forces coming down from the north west had come together despite the difficulties posed and what he de- scr1bed as terribly tough country
 The Presldent also was asked dur ing his news conference about re- ported revisions in this country,s policy toward the French National Committee for Liberation. He said that he knew of no revision and that the only thing being discussed was what to do in case we get into FTsnce, about government behind the lines.

Doc Not Pa Was Nervous

Des PlaineS, ILL, Feb. 1-(UP)- The father said, fits 6 boy" and the distraught physician stopped pacing the hall and wiped his brow in relief.
 This reversal of procedure oc- cured today because snow blocked all highways and prevented MT. and Mrs. Charles Deering from reaching a hospital. It also kept Dr. Henry F. Heller away from the Deering home. &
 Father of three other children Deering reached the doctor by tel ephone. followed his directions and, with the help of his mother, Mrs. pillie Deering, 68, delivered g seyen- 1olind boy. -s
 Several hours later police snow ilows cleared path to the Deering lome for the doctor. and he found both mother ana baby in fine con- dition.

FOURTH WAR LOAN EFFORTS 'SPOTTY'
All Out Drive Shown in Some Sections, Others
 Less Encouraging

State War Administrator Harold F. Woodcock today asked all Civil- ian Defense volunteers participating in the Fourth War Loan to "dou- ble check their territory" before the Fourth War Loan Is over in a determined final drive to reach their local War Bonds quotas.
 Progress reports from local war councils which have pledged CO., operation in this drive, either by taking over the house-to-house can- vass or furnishing volunteers, in- dicate that the contribution by Civ ilian Defense is spotty," MT. Wood cock said. "In many communities there has been an all out effort by air raid wardens and other units and the records are excellent. How ever, in many towns and cities where Civilian Defense pledged its support results are not encourag- ing"
 Local Civilian Defense units which pledged their support in this Fourth War Loan have a moral ob- ngatlon to carry out this pledge" he said.
 ''One visit to the home of pros pective War Bond buyer without any tangible result is not enough, :" he said. Civilian Defense volun- teers should double check their ter ritory before the drive is over and make sure that they have not mis- sed any bond sales. Every War Bond sale registered now by mem bers of Civilian Defense will show our men on the fighting fronts that we are behind them"
 MT. Woodcock urged all Civilian Defense volunteers to make a de- termined effort over this week end to help their communities meet their E Bond quota before the drive closes on Feb. IS.
