The Germans identified the Sow

Radon was one of the prize stra-

Chester Bowles, OPA admins

to solicit more active public parti-

keep black markets down to the
minimum:
IF all consumers in America
were to adhere strictly to rationing
regulations, enacted for the pro-
lection, and reported all observ-
able violations, we would not have
such an evil as black marketing.
Black markets are perpetuated by
consumers collectively. Every black
market purchase affects the honest
consumer. Every American who
participates in any kind of a black
market deal, no matter how finan-
cially trivial, does disservice to the
war effort and to his law abiding
neighbor.

Tax Exemptions


Tax Exemptions
In response to numerous inquiries
arising from new provisions of the
Individual income tax law relat-
ing to exemptions for husbands and
wives, and the income of minors,
j. d. Nunan, Jr., commissioner of
internal revenue, made the follow
ing statement:
Husband and wife exemptions:
The new law requires that if hus-
band and wife file separate re-
turns, each must take his own ex-
emptions on his or her own re-
turn. Both exemptions can be
claimed on the same return only
if CAD they file a joint return, or
(b) if one of them had no taxable
income and was not the dependent
OF another taxpayer. In applying
this dule to wives of men in the
armed forces, it should be borne in
mind that the tax laws exempt and
disregard the first $500 of active
service pay. received each year by
member of the armed forces. The
result is that most members of the
armed forces have no taxable in
come, in which case their exemp-
tons can be claimed by their wives.
Income of minors: The new law
provides that the earnings of chill
dren shall be considered to belong
to the children, and not to their
parents, for purposes of the federal
income tax. AS result, miners who
had $500 or more income last year
must file income tax returns the
same as adults. Therefore, parents
need no longer include in their
own income tax returns the earn
ings of their children.
Income under $500: Persons
whose income last year was less
than $500 are not required to file
income tax returns, but frequently
will find it advisable to file.> In the
case of single person with has less
than $500 income from which tax
was withheld, the filing of a re-
turn will bring a refund of the
tax which was withheld. In the
case of married person who had
less than $500 income, whether or
not any tax was withheld from it,
the person should file a joint or
combined return with her husband
Cor his wife) or as to get the full
benefit of their exemption.

Fuel Situation Serious
Sweden Hopes To Import
Coal From Polond

STOCKHOLM, May "a (By Wire
less)-The possibilities of import
ing coal from Poland are to be
examined by representative of
the Government and two members
of the Fuel Commission, who ex-
pect to go to Warsaw shortly.
The precariousness of Sweden's
fuel situation is emphasized by
several newspapers, but on the
whole press comments are rather
hopeful. Swedish firms have dis
cussed an arrangement with the
Polish authorities, by which Po-
land would deliver coal in ex-
change for Swedish assistance in
repairing the harbor of Danzig.
However, at present the prospects
of reaching such a solution do not
appear too good.
Sweden is in great need of coal.
During the war in Europe it was
able to obtain coal only from Ger
manys but these supplies covered
only about half of the normal an
nual requirements. In the fall of
1914, when Sweden severed trade
relations with Germany, these
shipments naturally ceased. Out
of the imports, however, Sweden
had gradually built up reserves
which amounted to about 100000
tons when trade relations with
Germany were broken off. Besides
helping Finland, which otherwise
would have been without coal last
winter, Sweden'S own consumption
during the past year amounted to
100000 tons.
The emergency plan which will
be applied from July l this year
provides for a total consumption
of only 100000 tons for the next
fuel year. ending July l. 1916.
By that time Sweden's reserves
will be virtually exhausted, if i'm
ports have not been resumed in
the meantime. RationS for house
holds as well as for industry and
the railroads have already been
cut drastically, and a further
tightening will be necessary.

Permissive Censorship
Low Seropped-Wos
Never Applied

STOCKHOLM, May % (By wire
less)-The emergency censorship
law was definitely scrapped today
by the Swedish parliament. With
out waiting for the end of the
war, the Riksdag last year voted
to cancel the constitutional amend
ment, passed in 1940-1941. giving
the Government the right to GEN.
sor the press in time of war or
danger of war. This decision now
received the confirmation required
by the Constitution. Being purely
permissive, the law had never been
put in force. To be applied for
more than one month it had to
have additional legislative permits
sion, requiring three-fourths ma
jority in each Chamber of the
Riksdag. Even with these guaran-
tees the idea of ever giving the
Government the right to pre-pub-
LEGATION censorship has always
seemed repugnant to Swedish pub
lie opinion.

ing us that even at that early
age making of pottery was
known. Within these broken bits
of clay pottery were found grains
of wheat and seeds of grapes
burned into them, clearly telling
us that people cultivated wheat,
and that grapes grew in the dis
trict. One can follow their pro-
gress from hunters to fishers to
farmers. There is no doubt that
we descended from this ancient
race of man.
Sweden has had her difficulties
during this war period in OBJ
tanning good clothes for her chill
dren. This irregularity of war was
solved partly in the town where
Fru Margareta Gilman, a school
teacher, lived, through her in
genuity. An exchange store for
children's good used clothing was
established. The Red Cross be-
came interested in this idea of
hers and helped to make this
idea a reality, and an exchange
central was erected.
This clothing exchange has be-
come a tremendous success. Here
mother might buy used good trous-
ers, shoes, ski jackets, trench
coats all of the good pre-war
quality and at absurdly low prices.
A boon for the mothers of today!
In addition to clothes you can
also exchange such hard-to-obtain
articles as baby carriages, baby
beds, baby pens, sleds and skates
Here mothers could bring their
children's outgrown pieces of
clothing and exchange them for
the next size, etc.
