Income Tax Headaches On Way Here

TACOMA - Distribution of in come tax forms to about sO0,OOO taxpayers in the district of Wash ington and Alaska is now under way, according to Clarke Squire Collector of Internal Revenue.
 Virtually the entire staff of the Collectors office is engaged in preparing the 1943 forms for mailing. Large quantities are be- ing mailed daily, and distribution in the state should be completed by January 10.
 The office is preparing for the greatest income tax filing period in it's history. While approximate Iy 9OO,00O taxpayers are listed in this district, more than a million returns are expected to be filed, due to the increase in population and greater number of persons re- ceiving taxable income.
 Two types of forms are being distributed. Persons who filed 1942 returns on Form 1040A (short form) will receive the 1943 version of the same form, and tax payers filing Form 104O, covering all types of income and salaries in excess of S3O0O will be furnished this type of return.
 In addition to the forms and re- lated instructions, all persons who filed 1942 returns will receive Form 1125 showing the total tax computed on their 1942 return and the amount of that tax paid to the Collector during 194S. This in- formation will be entered on the 194S return, and, in support of the deduction claimed on the re- turn for the tax paid in 1943, Form 1125 should be attached to that return when it is filed on or before March 15.

''DIxIE" COMES
 AS BIG BILL AT ' 10TH CENTURY

AS the leading minstrel of the modern American scene, it is cer- tainly appropriate that Bing Crosby should be impersonating the or iginal minstrel man, Dan Emmett, in the current Paramount Techni- color musical hit, Dixie which is due to arrive tonight at the 20th Century.
 To most devotees of Tin Pan Alleys tunes, the name Dan Elm melt may not mean much now. But Daniel Decatur Emmett is the man who wrote Dixie" and many other hit tunes of the period and who, in 1843, founded the Virginia Minstrels, first of a long line of blackface entertainers whose most recent disciples are Cantor and Jol- son.
 The story of Dixie" tells how the Virginia Minstrels came about, with Lynn Overman, Eddie Foy, Jr. and Billy de Wolfe, a newcomer to films, rounding out the quar- tette with Crosby De Wolfe, in- cidentally, is a product of Broad way where he vowed habitues of Radio City's Rainbow Room. In addition to being one of the four Minstrels in the picture, he's Cros- bys rival for the love of Dorothy Lamour, who is co-starred with Bing Marjorie Reynolds, Crosby S sweetheart in Holiday Inn," is in the picture, too.
 According to everything one hears about Dixie it's a singing swingin', minstrel show with new songs and old ones sung as only Bing Crosby can sing em-a rare musical treat and something def initely new in that this is the first time minstrel shows will have been given their screen due in Techni- color.
