.Cutbacks
Says

w ASI1lNO 1ON - Jan lU
- (FP)None of the produc-
ton cutbacks to date has
been based on plans to re-
sumo manufacture of civilian
goods, nor can any extensive
cutbacks be expected during
1914 unless the war in Eu-
rope takes an early decisive
turn in our favor, with hostil-
tiles ending not later than
June or July.
This statement came Jan. 27
from the Owl and was based on
its report on Navy, Army War
Production Board and U. S. Mari
time Commission data.
Pointing out that any return to
civilian production must be con-
sidered purely temporary, Owl
said the present cutbacks in war
production and those planned for
coming months are dictated by:
Changing military require
ments resulting from combat ex-
perience.
2-Overproduction of some raw
materials and military equipment,
caused by high production goals
scaled to meet any emergency dur
ing early part of the war.
Conversion For Necessities
The Owl said Army and civilian
agencies estimate that any fur
ther conversions to civilian manu-
facture will be in goods necessary
to maintain the civilian economy.
"Our severely burdened railway
and motor transport systems and
our heavy war industries must
have first call on requirements
and maintenance equipment as
they become available" the owl
stated.
Recently the WPB authorized
the manufacture of 100000 cleo
trio irons and $4,000 bathtubs.
The owl statement limited that
some manufacture of electric re-
frigerators and stoves for war
housing may be allowed this year.
Any reversals on the battle
fronts would result in immediate
interruption of the present trend
and production of war materials
whose manufacture has been cur
tailed or even terminated would be
Immediately resumed, the Owl
warned.
Greater Production in 1914
Tentative schedules for 1914 call
for further cuts in some type of
equipment while production of
other war items will be advanced.
Thus, despite cutbacks, the over
all program will be estimated 17%o
greater than in 1943.
Chief cutbacks during the COM
ing months, according to military
and civilian war agencies, will
come in small arms and ammuni-
tion, tanks, certain types of anti
aircraft equipment, non-combat
aircraft, and artillery fire-control
equipment. More than offsetting
this will be an almost doubled
production of combat aircraft,
with greatly increased emphasis
on bombers.

Income Taxes and

ompIe1 form used reporting this gears ane8 yon to

on the short form for each
dependent after the first. On
the long form it is $3.50. Don't
be misled into using the short
form on that account. The differ
ence is more than made up by the
earned income credit deduction on
the long form, which is 1870 and
which is unavailable on the short
form.
On the short form taxpayers
status and his credit for depend
ents is determined as of June 30,
1943. That is, if he were single on
that day, he is considered single
for the entire year and can get
only a $500 exemption. If he were
married on that day, but single
thereafter, he gets a full $l,2OO
exemption. Likewise, if he had a
dependent on that day, but not
thereafter, he gets the full $3.50
deduction. But if child were born
after that day, the taxpayer gets
no credit. On the long form the
taxpayer gets credit for his status
as he actually was during the
year. Likewise as to his depend
ents.
Taking Exemptions
If both spouses work, they may
elect to make out individual or
Joint returns. If individual returns
are elected, on the short form one
or the other spouse may take the
entire family exemption of Sl,2OO,
or it may be split equally. On the
long form, one or the other spouse
may take the entire exemption, or
it may be split in any proportion
the parties desire. This is a big ad-
vantage in cutting down the sur
tax rates, the really heavy tax,
Normal tax is SO for everybody,
rich or poor.)
There is no set rule by which to
determine the form to use, whether
to file singly or jointly. The only
proper way is to make out both
forms, Individually and jointly, de-
termine which form and method is
cheaper, and then file, On the
whole it will be found that for the
overwhelming majority of married
folk and for many single people,
the long form is dollars cheaper.
And with many wives working, it
is the writer's prediction that indi-
vidual returns by married folk will
be cheaper.

will be due to men like Mr..

fled for the position sought. Mr..
Bantz Immediately offered our
applicant employment and asked
him to report for duty as an en-
