INCOME REACHED
 NEW HIGH LEVEL

Washington, Jan. B. (UP)- Na- tional income in l944 rose to new high, but for the coming year, there are so many factors involved that Department of Commerce ex- ecutives are prone to make any comment not embellished with the word "if."
 New highs may be reached next year, If the war in Europe is not ended. But if Germany falls be- fore the hammer smashes of the Allies before the end of fiscal year l945 there will be a considerable downward change in the national product, national income and other pictures which fuse into the overall pattern of American economy, 1t is said.
 Estimated national income this year will be $l58000. 900 ,000, or roughly $l0, 100, 900, ,OO00 higher than last year. And on this huge figure is the eye of the treasury, seeking for further means to skim off the ever-increasing surplus of income, Right down the line the workers in che factories and all the rest, all of whom are touched directly or indirectly by the new prosperity, are pouring more and more cash into the channels of business.
 They will buy $3, 3,200, 900 1000 more in retail stores than they did last year; consumer expenditures for goods and services will be roughly $3, FOG, ,000, 900 higher than in l943, The gross national product will be up about $4,000,000 900 to $200, ,0O0,- OOO,0O0" income to individuals will rise $l2,0OO, GOO, 900, and manufact- urers' shipments will exceed those of last year by about $ll ,000, 900 900. Following are business statistics comparing l943 and estimated for 1944, as provided by the Department of Commerce:

First Pay Of New Year Will Indicate Change
 In Withholding Taxes

nOlulng rates ulo.
 In every instance, of course. the taxpayer who uses Form l040 and figures his own tax. instead of filing his Withholding Receipt or reading the tax from the table, will get slightly different figures, And whera there is other income, on which no tax has been withheld. this will affect somewhat the exact amount that has to be paid-or that can be claimed as refund-at the end Of the year.
 NO TABLES OVER $5OOO
 The withholdings are designed to be reasonably accurate only up to $5000. For those who earn more than that, the withholdings will be increased but they still will leave increasingly large amounts that will have to be paid in a lump sum at the end of the year Nobody questioned that the above-$5000 taxpayer should have the right to they had worked out tables up to S5000 year. Congress and the Treasury seemed to feel that they had done enough work for lo44, so they stopped at that point.
 They did not neglect. however, to make all tax deficiencies payable in lump sum, on the theory that the great bulk of voting taxpayers are in the under-$5000 class. and won't have to pay much with their returns-so why worry about the rest?
 In any event, if you notice that your tax withholding is up or down few cents, or even a dollar or so week, don't assume that your employers bookkeeper has made Q mistake. The chances are that it will be the new pay-as-you-earn rates taking effect.

 Washington, January 3. tUP) - The door was open to suite no of the House Office Building, but the lights were out. Sitting in the gloom in an old gray hat and a heavy overcoat was small, white haired man.
 He was hunched at n big mahog- any table, squinting through his horn trimmed glasses at a pile Of mail: William J. Gallagher, the onetime street-sweeper and new congressman from Minnesota. The lights were dark because he couldn't find the switch. He'd looked all over and he couldn't find it.
 We finally located the button and flooded his sanctum with light. He turned out to be gnomlsh-looking citizen. with fringe of white hair, numerous missing teeth work gnarled hands. and gleaming blue eyes. His voice was deep.

 up the subject, he talked about something else.
 He said he was 69 years old. He said he'd never finished high school and added that reports of his having gone hungry in his younger days were canards.
 "It may have been," he contin- ued. that I didn't have the money in my pocket to go into restau- rant and eat, but I always could go home and get meal. That's not going hungry"
 The city retired him on a $25 48 pension in 1942, When he decided to run for Congress. he got a job as ianitor at the Shedd-Brown Manu- featuring Company to raise cam paign fund of $200.
 But I didn't need it," he said. Everybody in my district was for me. It was no surprise to me when was elected"
 His wife resigned her job as a chocolate dipper in candy factory and came to Washington with him; they located one-room and kitchenette apartment at the end of car line This is a tight fit, he said. and their daughter, Mrs. Mary Jane Thomscn, will have to live somewhere else.

SPENDING SEEN
 ON DOWNTREND

Washington. Jan. 3.--tUP)- With public spending presently at the highest rate in history, the Ameri- can public can look for some relief in spending, not taXes-in the coming fiscal year l946.
 The budget in the new financial year beginning July probably, will call for spending slightly under $9O,0O0 ,000, 900, compared with a present budget of $94,300. GOO, ,000 and a rate of spending above $96,- 100000, GOO.
 The budget bureau, now prepar- ing the figures which will be given to Congress early in January by President Roosevt/ feels that be- cause war facilities have just about been completed, expenditures will drop drastically. However, 1t was pointed out, there will be an increased service charge on the pub lie debt, plus increased demoblliza- tion charges.
 On the other side of the ex- pected relaxed spending picture is the fact that Mari'>ne Commis- sion spending will be greatly less ened, especially if the war in Flu rope comes to a close during the first part of the l945 calendar year. Also, the pipelines of supply abroad have been filed and maintaining movement will not be nearly so expensive as the building and sup plying were.
 War spending in the fiscal year is now at an annual rate of $89,- 0G0 GOO GOO, and non-War outlayS are at the Tate of $6,934 ,000, ,000.
 Despite this, however, the bud get is firmly convinced that reduced expenditures after the first of the year will bring costs within the 1945 fiscal budget announced last Janu- ary.
 As for taxes, they will continue att heir present rate, doubtedlesSly TO higher levies being planned. nor any cuts.
 The deficit thus far in the 19i5 fiscal year is moving upward to the annual rate Of more than $60, 0,0O0- 100000 or about evdn with the es- timate.

READY MARKET
 SEEN FOR MILK

New York, Jan. 3 CUP)--Demand for milk products will remain high even if the year ends in l945 Theodore c. Montague, president, the Borden Company, said today in year-end statement.
 He pointed out that needs and policies of the government will de- termine the amount of dairy pro- duce finding its way to consumers in l94S. American dairymen seem assured of ready market at good prices for their entire milk output even if it reaches the l20, 000,000- 000-pound goal set by the War Food Administration, he said,
 What their ultimate market will be- he continued depends to a great extent on the duration of the war and the plans finally adopted for shipping food supplies to the allied nations in the post war period
 Even if the war ends this year, it seems unlikely that there will be any sharp drop In the demand for milk products Military authorities have indicated that demobilization will require considerable length of time, and there are reports that any slack in buying by our govern mont will be taken up by orders from Russit and Britain.
 However, our own domestic market is the one on which future hopes of the American dairy in- dustry tre centered. There seems grounds for optimism, even though the demands of the postwar mar ket are difficult to estimate, We know that there was a steady pre- war increase in the usage of milk products. and that this trend was leveled off by shortages - leaving unsatisfied an unmeasured, but substantial, demand from civil l ians."
 He noted that future milk de- mand will depend greatly on the trend of national income. He be- leived, however, that usage of dairy foods will increase at rate much higher than those of other foods and that 1t will not follow the downward trends in national in- come as rapidly as formerly.
 Montague quoted government economist. who, looking forward to 1850, predicted that milk require ments in that year will amount to l26 ,2O0,O0a,O0O pounds if prosper ity stil holds and ll6500, 900 GOO pounds iw we are in depression.
 Fortunately" he concluded. the dairy industry has no major re- conversion problem. Aside from the replacement Of over-worked equip ment. our reconversion problem is limited to markets-the exchange of government demand for civilian demand

Poor Digestion? G6 i :.
 Headachy? % Sour or Upset? % Tired.LiStIeSS? %

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly
 Each day. Nature must produce about two pints of a vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of thus digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 80 minutes. And, you're on tho road to feeling better.
