Income Tax

For the beneflt of those who still have to file their income tax returns, the following informa- tion is reprinted:
 l. The 1914 Revenue Law makes it necessary for every in- dividual required to file a return to submit a copy of his Form W-2, Employees Receipt of Tax es Withheld, with his return. This is very important.
 2. Every individual regardless of age must file a return if his or her income during 1914 was $500 or more. Thus, children having income of $500 or more must file their own return and pay any tax due over and above the amount withheld. In the a. bove instance, the parents are liable if the tax is not paid and the parents may not include the childs income on their return or claim the child as a dependent.
 8. Individuals who had in- come of less than $500 and on which tax has been withheld must file a return to obtain re- fund of the amount withheld.

HEADQUARTERS, Guam, Thurs
day March 15-(P)-The mounting
fierceness and relentlessness of
American Suportfortress incendiary
raids on Japan's industrial cen
ters-three smashes by about L.
900 of the sky giants in less than
100 hours-strongly indicates that
the B-29 command has embarked
on an about campaign of area
rather than strategic bombing.
Between early last Saturday
morning and early Wednesday
morning three missions of more
than 300 planes each took off
from bases in the Marianas to de-
stroy almost "a square miles in
the industrial centers of Tokyo,
Nagoya and Osaka with more than
5000 tons of fire bombs.
Indicating full recognition of the
new threat to the homeland, the
Japanese government was report
ed by Tokyo radio broadcasts to
have taken these actions:
Il. Instituted new evacuation
system for primary school children
in prime target districts and plan
ned to close all schools.
e. Discussed urgent raid relief
measures.
g. Re-studied and revised the
"air defense structure" in the
home islands, especially with re-
gard to fighting fires started by
incendiary bombs. One domestic
broadcast said raid precautions
and fire fighting methods had prov.
ed insufficient" in the recent "full
scale' night raids)
Maj. Curtis LeMay, commander
of the 21st, said significantly after
the great Tokyo raid of Saturday
morning: "All the Japs have to
look forward to is the total de-
struction of their industries, cities
and other vital targets devoted to
their war effort" Also significant
ly, he declared his Superfortress
command is still long way from
attainment of full strength"

out incendiary raid by BIOS, was

Berlin Attack

LONDON, Thursday, March Is.
-tRERussian troops, speeding the
cleanup of the Baltic coast to free
powerful Red Army formations for
the swelling assault on Berlin, roll
ed the Germans back as much as
four miles yesterday on 17-mile
front in the narrow pocket south
west of Koenigsberg, Moscow an
nounced last night.
simultaneously, Marshal Mali
novsky's Second Ukraine Army in
a drive through the wooded noun
tains of the Carpathian front to
the south captured the rail juno
ton town Of Zvolen, a powerful
German strongpoint on the Hron
river in Slovakia 1875 miles north
east of Vienna, and eight nearby
towns.
German attacks toward tn e
Danube river from positions north
east and east of Lake Balaton in
Hungary were repealed by Russi-
an units literally employing artil-
lery and minefields.
On the Baltic, in bitter village
by-village fighting, the Third White
Russian Army came within 4 IL
miles of reaching the coast of the
Frisehes Half -QagooO and split
ting the East Prussian bastions of
Braunsberg and Heilingenbeil
from Brandenburg, IL miles sourth-
west of Koenigsberg.
The Soviet night conmunique
said the Russians advancing in the
East Prussian pocket killed more
than 1000 Germans and took more
than 1000 prisoners. One Soviet
column driving along the railroad
to Eraunsberg took the railway
station of Vogelsang, four miles
southeast of that stronghold. An
other column farther north sliced
its way to Lark, IL miles from
the Frisches Half.
Constructed now to an area a lit
tie more than 80 miles wide and
10 to IL miles deep at its widest
parts, the Germans feverishly
were digging additional trenches
and terrifying all the villages and
hamlets in the regions, Moscow
said. Although the Germans mined
the approaches to their lines al
most solidly they still were driven
from more than a dozen calities.
The Russian drives in that peck
ct, at Koenigsberg itself, along the
Bay of Danzig and at Kolberg
were designed to free the Baltic
flank and enable the Soviet COM
mand to throw the maximum
weight of men and material west
ward against Berlin and the heart
of the Reich.

PROBE INTO FOOD
SHORTAGES URGED
Congressional Investiga-
ton Demanded; Army
Navy Supply Low

WASHINGTON, March 14-(P-
A Congressional investigation to
answer the question whats hap
pened to Americas food?' was de.
manded in the Senate today.
And a Senate committee heard
testimony that the meat supply
seems to be so short that the Army
and Navy-to say-nothing of civil
ians may not get all they need.
Senator Wherry (R-Neb) urged
the Senate to set up five-mem-
Der committee to inquire into all
phases of food production, distri-
button, processing and transporta
ton. He urged also another com.
mittee to investigate food exports
and imports.
Before the Senate Banking Com.
mittee, G. L. Childress, represent.
ing the American Meat Institute
testified that the meat shortage
may become increasingly more
severe unless remedial steps are
taken Immediately"
The present meat situation is so
serious that it threatens meat sup
plies necessary for war purposes
for Army and Navy uses" he
added. Z?
Wherrys demand touched off a
general Senate debate during which
Senator O'Mahoney CD-Wyo) said
he had reason to believe there will
be announcements Gin the near fu-
ture" which will improve the meat
situation.
O'Mahoney did not amplify to
the Senate but told reporters later
that one step he expects is a regu-
lation allowing purchase of range
cattle by the head without regard
for weight O'Mahoney said this
would lead to more stocker and
feeder cattle-the usual interme-
date step before cattle reach the
slaughterer.
