WASHINGTON-The income
tax return for 1946-the one you
do not have to prepare until
March of 1947-will be slightly
simpler than that which is COM
ing up next March. That is one
desirable effect of the new tax
law.
The 1947 return will have two
fewer lines in the tax computa-
ton schedule-two fewer opera
tions to be performed in order
to determine how much you
owe Uncle Sam, or vice versa.
There could and should be
four less lines. But two lines,
and two mathematical computa-
tions, have to be added because
Sen. Alben Barkley of Ker-
lucky doesn't want the taxpay-
ers to forget that he got them a
five per cent cut in their income
tax.
The new law combines nor
NAL and surtax in one table.
You no longer have to compute
your normal tax, get your surtax
out of the table with some
mathematical effects) and then
add the two. Unless you are
one of the relatively few who
own partially tax exempt gov
ernment bonds, the tax table
should give the entire tax in one
operation.
But Senator Barkley sponsor
ed Q five per cent reduction from
the tax that Is derived from this
table. That five per cent ap-
plies regardless Of the size of
your tax. 1t could have been in
cluded in the table just as well.
However,-the Senator insisted
that it must be shown on the tax
blank as q separate item.
COULD BE SIMPLER
The result is that after getting
your tax, you must then com.
pute five per cent Of that tax
for one line, and subtract the
five per cent to get q net total
for another line. The number OF
persons who will be affected by
this Is hard to estimate. 1t prob
ably will run in the vicinity OF
nine millions.
On the basis of q small spot
check, Treasury statisticians sus.
gest that last year the 6,200.OO(

ing about in particular, are For

always q certain amount Of an
tagonism between the career

pointed ambassadors, but this Is
something extra.
There are today some 800 For.
eign Service officers. Authorized
strength is 1120 but the number
probably will 60 up to 1900 Or
1000 in the next year or 20. The
problem is trying to find enough
men who can qualify.
IT'S A HARD LADDER TO
CLIMB
Candidates for the Foreign
Service are carefully screened,
They must have college educa-
ton or better, know some for.
eign languages, undergo stiff
personal character investigation
and examinations. If a man pass
es, his future is in the hands OF
the Board of Foreign Service
Personnel, headed by the three
Assistant Secretaries of State.
An efficiency record Is kept on
every man. Promotions are made
by this Personnel Board on the
basis of efficiency reports. There
are three grades Of "unclassi.
fled" officers and eight Glasses"
of officers who get from $4,000
to $4,000 . year.
The Personnel Board also Is
responsible for disciplinary &C.
ton, but there Is no punitive sys-
TEN similar to the court-martial
of the armed services. II q For
eign Service officer Is accused
of misappropriating funds. ac-
cepting q bribe or some offense
of this kind, he Is turned over
to the civil courts. A Foreign
Service officer may be called
before the Personnel Board for
q hearing, however, may be re.
primanded, may be put on pro-
baton and denied promotion till
he has lived down an unfavora-
bic efficiency report. Or he may
be fired. These things are hap
pening all the time.
The point Of all this explana-
ton is that there exists within
the Foreign Service ample ma.
chinery for the disciplining o.
Foreign Service officers. 1t Is the
duty of the ambassador to report
on and rate the efficiency Of the
men in his embassy. There Is nc
evidence that Ambassador Huf-
ley used any Of this procedure
in the cases of the men he now
accuses publicly.

Written for NEA Service

Common colds, more preva-
lent in certain seasons of the
year, started to increase this
year on August IA, and the out
break extended into November.
The next peaks will be in Janu-
ary and February and in the
spring, during April. Seasonal
variation in colds is not direct
ly limited to climatic conditions.
however, as colds develop in
different parts Of the country at
the same time.
Colds are spread by coughing,
sneezing and explosive speech by
which moisture is cast into the
air by infected persons. Colds
also are spread by infected hand
kerchiefs. eating utensils, glass
ware or other articles freshly
soiled by infected persons.
Virus colds develop IL to ~
hours after exposure. The COM
mon cold is not q clear-cut dis
ease. A stuffy, runny nose,
soreness or dryness in the throat.
and a dull feeling in the head
are usual symptoms of q cold,
but similar complaints are OBJ
served in other respiratory in.
fections and in the beginning Of
some contagious diseases.
ITCHING is FIRST SIGN
In colds, the onset is charact-
erized by burning or itching at
the point at which the infection
develops; this spot is usually
deep in the nose, although it may
be located at any point in the
respir ..oly passages. In one cold
out OF three the inflammation
remains in the nose and throat.
in the other two-thirds it spreads
TO the other lining tissues.
At the height of a cold the
eyes are swollen, the nostrils are
stuffed up and skin cracks and
sores develop around the nose
and mouth; sense of smell and
hearing are affected, and huski-
ness of the voice and coughing
may be distressing.
IT'S EASILY RECOGNIZED
A typical cold IL easily recos.
nized, although allergic dts.
orders of the nose and throat i'm
itate one 50 closely that they are
distinguished with difficulty.
Although colds make US feel
miserable, they do not cause
fever unless there are complica-
tions. Duration of the average
cold is one week.
Loss Of time from colds 10
enormous. Industry reports the
average employe loses one to
three days and school children
lose many more days each year.
This loss results from failure to
recognize that-a cold IL an in.
lection which requires bed rest
for its treatment, thus shorten-
ING the duration and decreasing
complications. One store suc-
cessfully reduced loss OF tins
by asking its employees at the
close Of the working day in
which they feel . cold coming on
to 90 straight home, take q hot
bath, 60 to bed and stay there
through the next day II symp-
toms persisted, In the majority
Of cases, II was found that one
and one-half days In bed would
clear up the average cold, Il
treatment was started with the
