Federal income tax returns TOT the calendar year 1s43 must in general, be filed nt later thc- midnight of March IS, 1944.
 Both members of the armed forces and civilians who are out side of this country on March 15, 1914, when the Federal income tax returns are due, will have automa- tic postponement of the due dates for filing the returns and for pay ing the tax. In many cases, the postponements will make returns from these persons unnecessary un- til some time after they return to this country or after the end of the present war.
 An extension for the military or naval forces who, when the return or payment is due, are on active duty outside the Americas or the continental United States (the States and the District of Colum- bia,' or are on sea duty, permits poStponement of the filing or pay ment until the 18th day of the fourth month following the month in which they cease to serve on Sea duty or outside the continental United States, but not beyond the 18th day of the third month fol- lOWing the month in which the present war ends.
 Earnings received from employ ment and personal services outside the United States (meaning, for this purpose, outside of the States the Territories of Alaska and Ha- waii, and the District of Columbia) are subject to income tax for 1943 unless the taxpayer establishes to the satisfaction of the Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue that he was @ bona fide resident of a for eign country during the entire tax able year and that the earnings were received from an employer other than the United States or an agency of the United States.
 A citizen of the United States who takes up residence outside of the United States in the course of the year is not entitled to the ex- emption for that year, but once bona fide residence in foreign country or countries has been es- tablished, temporary absence there from in the United States on vaca- tion or business trips will not nec- essarily deprive him of his status as a bona fide resident of foreign country.
 On the other hand, an American citizen who has resided abroad and changes his residence to the Uni. ted States in the course of the tax able year may exclude from hi gross income the earned income re- ceived from private employers from sources outside the United States if he establishes (a) that he was ( bona fide resident of c foreign country or countries for at least two years before such change oi residence and (b) that the amount excluded from gross income wal attributable to the period of for eiGn resideuce.

 Wilbert F. Crowley, assistant states attorney, requested the final conference with Williams, after saying that the diplomat had been very cooperative in previous inter views.

 Authorities questioned Mrs. Will Hams first husband, Edgar R. Born. Chicago businessman, at length last night. A few hours earlier two hotel clerks said that Mrs. Williams called for her room key at 6:20 p. m., only five minutes before she was shot They said she was alone, although Mrs. Goodbody had otld police that she and her mother entered the room together 20 minutes earlier Mrs. Goodbody said her mather was killed by mysterious woman whc stepped from behind the bathroom door. Police said that Mrs. Goodbody probably was waiting at the eleva- tor for her mother and the clerks did not see her.
 Three other persons, all of them unidentified women, were ques- tioned by police late yesterday. Ofa- cials declined to comment on any information gained from them.
