On Income Taxes

members will go to the supreme
court of the United States if nee
esSary to support their contention
that they may deduct from their
income tax the 21.05 per cent ap-
piled on payment of irrigation dis
trict warrant and bond principal
and the Laguna dam contract.
The farmers declared in their
monthly meeting of directors in Ell
Centre Saturday that they do not
believe the federal government in

excluded from deduction from in

Payment on warrant principal
totals 8.85, that on bond principle
5.57, and the payment on the La

Internal revenue officials base
their contention that the tax is not
deductible on a special provision in
the law which specifically mentions
the irrigation districts in Califor-
mia. They said the payments ap-
piled to the three debts are con-
sidered as payments on permanent
improvements and as such cannot
be deducted.

LONDON, Feb. 5. (UP)-
Unconfirmed Swedish re-
ports said Monday that the
German high command has
ordered all Berlin on the al
ert against a possible Allied
attempt to land paratroops
in the burning, refugee-pack-
ed city.
Terror anc confusion were report
ed mounting hourly with the ap-
proach of the Red army from the
east. and the Nazi leaders them
selves tacitly admitted Berlin's des-
perate plight by clamping a rigid
news blackout on the city and for
bicding civilian refugees to leave
without special permission.
A thin trickle of news still was
seeping through the Nazi censor
ship to Stockholm, and these ac-
counts indicated that BerlinerS were
beginning to crack up under the
threat of Russian invasion from the
east and the grim reality of Anglo
American bombing from the west.
For "a hours the city has been
in state of alert against possible
airborne landing to take advantage
of the chaotic conditions" Stock
holm dispatch to the Loncon Daily
Mail said Sunday night.
Civilian refugees and eastward
bound troops were said to be hope
lessly jammed up at the city's main
railway stations, and one Swedish
account said German army desert
ers and foreign workers were ter
rorizing parts of the capital.
The first real break in Berlin's
morale apparently was caused by the
terrible American daylight raid on
Saturday when 1000 U. S. Eighth
Air Force bombers literally tore the
heart out of the city with 250C-
ton bombing assault.

Seven Men Die
When Tankers
Crash and Burn

NEW YORK, Feb. 5. (UP)-Flam-
ing oil spread over the New York
harbor early Monday after a col
lision of two tankers, setting fire to
both tankers and to Liberty ship.
At leact seven crewmen were killed
and scores injured.
The ships were identified by sur
vivcrs as the tanker Spring Hill, a
Liberty ship Bernard Carter, and a
Norwegian tanker, Divi.
The fire was brought under con-
troll 80 minutes after it started.
Police said at least 60 injured had
been taken to hospitals.
One tanker was burned out, with
only its blackened hull still afloat,
riding like a ghost ship on the
smoke-hung waters.
Some lifeboats caught fire and
crewmen had to jump from the
flaming ships into the flaming
waters.
Several of the dead were landed
on Staten Island by crews of small
harbor crafts which picked them
from the sea.
Flames at one time shot more
than 100 feet in the air.
