REQUIREMENT RAISED

WASHINGTON, Feb. a. R) -
The Federal Reserve Board clamp
ed down tonight on the use of
bank credit for Stock Market
speculation by raising the margin
requirements for purchasing reg
istered securities from 40 to so per
cent.
The action is effective February
5.
1t is the first change in margin
requirements since November I,
1887.
The action brings the margin re-
quirements for buying stocks to
the same level as that for making
short sales.
A margin requirement Of so per
cent means that if a person is
buying $1,000 worth of securities,
he may borrow $500 against the Sc
curities and must furnish the other
$500 himself.

FRUIT C0NTAINER
SHORTAGE LIKELY

Fresh fruit and vegetable ship
Ders and growers again may have
difficulty this year in securing adj
coaate container supplies, Hillman
Moody. district representative Of
the War Food Administration S
CCC Office of Supply, Raleigh,
said Yesterday.
Normal production Of fruits and
vegetables for the fresh market will
put a heavy load on container re-
G.urements. A larger than normal
production will increase h de-
mands considerably. Also, inven-
tories OF containers carried over
by early tomato and peach, and
Eastern and Midwestern apple
shippers and growers are smaller
than last year.
Labor problems are not expect
ed TO lessen much in 1915. Equip
ment is old and requirements are
few and hard to get. The supply
Of lumber, particularly. is much
smaller than the demand. Taking
the picture as a whole, wooden
containers will probably be less
than new requirements for 1915.
The fiber box and package situa-
ton is Just about the same.
To insure sufficient supply of
containers for handling anticipated
production of fresh fruits and veg
etables, Moody said that VIA Of
fcials are asking shippers a II d
growers to continue the following
wartime measures!
~ Place orders for containers
as far as possible in advance and
take delivery at any tirne the con-
talnerS are available.
" Salvage containers and re-
use them wherever possible. A
number of used containers were
available last year only by consis-
lent ordering throughout the sea-
son. This is especially important,
as there is no place to stockpile
used containers except in the
sheds Of growers and shippers.

Taxpayers To Find Improvement
In Local Office Aid Facilities

Raymond D. Christman, chief
zone deputy collector of Internal
Revenue, said yesterday that facili-
ties for assisting taxpayers be-
tween now and March Is are much
better than in former years, due to
ms new office quarters at No. IA
Princess street.
He added that the Collector of
internal Revenue in Greensboro
has instructed him to set aside for
income tax itinerary the period
from February 10 through March
10 in order to assist residents of
New Hanover, Brunswick, and
Fender counties in making out cur
rent returns. From March 8
through March Is, all deputies at
tached to the Wilmington Major
Zone office will be here to assist
taxpayers.
The schedule for deputies fol-
lows: February 10, Southport at
the county tax office; February 20,
Supply at the Farm Agents office,
and February 81 at the postoffice

"A, deputies will be in the Register

rendered without charge, such tax

ued, the great majority of indi-

'By this method, the Collector s
office will figure the actual tax

been sinnplified and many persons
will not be required to file who
were liable for 1914. For 1945 esti-
mates, an Individual who expects
to earn less than $1,000 or less in
wages or salaries, and whose en-
ployer withhc;ds tax, will not be
required to file an estimated re-
turn. AS an example, if a single
person having no dependents ex=
poets to earn $1,000 or less in 1945
and has no additional income from
a source not subject to withhold
ing, he is not required to file.
However, if that same person has
or expects to have an income OF
$500 or more in wages and sal
aries and in addition thereto ex-
poets to collect as much as S100
from a source not subject to With
holding, such as rents, dividends,
interest, ETC., such person must file
an estimated return for the rea'
son that the additional 500 is not
subject to withholding and the tax
must be paid as the year passes.
Another example is that of
married man with no dependent
whose wife has no income in ad
dition to his own. Such person will
not be required to file an est
mated return unless his income is
expected to amount to more thar
S., 500, that is, of course if such
income is subject to Withholding

to this, if such person has one
