T could order payment of $l00 per week or even $l ,000 per week, but you cant make this man pay money he hasn't got" Superior Court Judge Robert L. Munger declared today in reducing alimony payments of Eu- gene J. Reignier, local fireman, to his divorced wife, Mrs. Corrine Cote Reignier, from $22 to $l750 per week.
 The alimony hearing, conducted this morning, was open to the pub lie and press, unlike the divorce trial, which continued for four days last month behind closed doors.
 Reignier originally was ordered to pay $22 for the support of his wife and child. Last week he asked for a modification of the order, made Dec. 23, and a special hearing was then set for today before the same judge who heard the divorce case.
 The decision of the judge followed heated protests from Mrs. Reignier that she is not well and is with out funds for support or medical aid.
 Pointing out at the conclusion of the hearing that Reignier must now pay $35, representing alimony of the past two weeks. to Mrs. Reignier Judge Munger suggested she release an attachment filed against his sav- ingS account. He commenter. T don't know how you are going tn get that money unless you release that attachment"
 Judge Munger was referring to the attachment placed by Mrs. Reignier when she brought q $35,- 900 civil action in the New Haven Superior Court against the fireman, claiming she had given him her savings, totaling 5000, since they were married. The action against her husband was filed at the same time as $50.000 aliention of af- lection suit she instituted against Mrs. Clara Upton, of this city.
 The fireman, who said his sole income is derived through his pay from the city. listed his net earn ings at about $4l per week and !temized his expenses at $22.75 per week. He said he needs $5 per week for miscellaneous eXpensS, such as hair-cuts or entertainment, but the jurist disallowed it in figuring up the total. The fireman specified his expenses as follows: $l5 room, board, laundry; $l, laundry of shirts; 50 cents, house dues at fire house; $l childTen's insurance; $l. .25, personal insurance; 50 cents. bus fare, s. clothes; 50 cents, fire mans aid.
 Mrs. Reignier said she needed about $45 to $50 per week to sup port herself, stating she could not ray rent and live as she should on less. She addmitted she received money from a son in the services. but said she gave him spending money from the sums he sent her. She stated also that brother had been helping her but would be un- able to shortly.
 She testified she has been under a doctors care, and is unable to work
 Judge Munger stated her former husband would pay all he possibly could, but the court could not pro- duce funds that didn't exist, In set ting the alimony sum at $l7.50 per week, he pointed out Mrs, Reignicr receives about $9 per week from her son in the service and about $6 per week from her l6-year-old son who works part-time. He pointed out she would get approximately $22 per week from the three sources.
 The jurist also commented the personal expenses listed by the fire

on averages. It groups incomes in brackets of $25 range up to eS.0oO, and in $50 brackets from SS,000 Co SS,0O0. It assumes that every tax- payer in each bracket has the same credits and deductions, aver aging 10 per cent of the average wage in the bracket. It assumes that taxpayers earning up to S3,O00 never have more than five exemptions, but that those earning over sS,OO0 may have as many as nine exemptions.
 Overall that is fair, and often generous. But is 1t in your par- ticular case? Do you know? How do you know2 Can you afford to file the withholding Receipt with out first determining how much smaller your tax might be if you used Form 1040?
 It is your legal privilege to check both methods to use the one that will save you money.
 Form l040 is not really simple, even yet. But in contrast with any year since I have been writing these articles, it is absurdly easy to pre- pare. Moreover for the first time in the memory of Mankind some bright chap in the Treasury has written instructions that can be understood without a legal educa- ton.
 So don't let sad experiences in other years frighten you away from Form l040. It is to your ad- vantage not to file the Withhold ing Receipt until you have at least tried Form l040, and see if 1t might save you money.

 If your l944 income grossed less than $5,000, and all of 1t came from personal service-wages, salary, commission. tips, bonus. etc.-and from interest and dividends; and if not more than $l00 was from sources that did not withhold in- come tax against it, then you are entitled to file your Withholding Receipt as a return.
 Treasury agents will take your income, exemptions. withholdings, and from a table they will ascer- tain how much you owe Uncle Sam, or how much he owes you. If both you and your wife had income, the agents will determine whether you should file a joint return or two in- divioual returns, and they will com pute the tax on the cheaper basis.
 From the tax they decide that you owe, they will subtract the wtthholdings and also anything you may have paid with estimates. They will send you a bill for the balance due the Treasury, or credit memo randum for anything due you.
 For those eligible to use it, this will be the easy way to file, For many it will be also the least costly way. But for some. it may prove to be expensive.
