Your Income Tax
NO. 10-HUSBAND- WIFE
RETURNS.
By jones MorIow

Husbands and wives ask. do
we save money by filing separate
or joint income tax returns?"
There's no one simple answer.
A joint return may save for one
couple by giving them full benefit
or exemptions. 1t may cost another
couple money by boosting them into
higher surtax bracket. But remem-
Der:
l. Where husband and wife can
file jointly on form wa, the with
holding receipt, do SO. You'll save
time and effort.
The collector, by law, goes over
your return and has to figure which
is cheaper for you, a single or joint
return. He gives you the benefit.
2. Treasury experts say that where
a wife has income less than $500
and she and her husband are going
to file on form 1040-they'll save
money by making a joint return.
IT you don't fall into group No.
or No. 2, try both ways-single and
joint returns-before deciding which
you'll turn in to the collector.
Have Three Choices.
Husbands and wives-if their COM
bined income was less than $1,000
can file jointly on form W., or the
lO40 short or long form.
If their combined income was
SIS 900 or over but individually less
than $4,000, they can file separately
on form W. or the 1040 short form
or jointly on the 1040 long form.
Filing separately on form W. or
the l040 short form, each is allowed
deduction of about 10 per cent for
expenses. It's figured right into the
tax table used with those forms.
If they file jointly on form VIZ
or the 1040 short form, they are
allowed one deduction of about 10
per cent but it is 10 per cent of
their combined income.
If they file separately on the lO40
long form, with the income of each
$4,000 or over, each is allowed a
standard deduction Of $500.
If they file jointly on the long
form, they are allowed one standard

$500 deduction, not q $500 deduction
for each.

$500 deduction, not $500 deduction
for each.
Two Kinds of Taxes Cited.
There are two kinds OF taxes on
your income: A normal tax of 3
per cent on all incomes, high or low /;
and a surtax starting at 20 per cent
on incomes up to $4,000 and rising
by brackets to 81 per cent on the
highest.
There are also two kinds Of ex-
emptions: A normal tax exemption
and surtax exemption. You SUBJ
tract the normal exemption from
your income before you apply the
normal tax to the income; you sub
tract the surtax exemption from
your income before you apply the
SurtaX.
Any one filing a return always get
a $500 normal exemption and $500
surtax exemption.
You never get normal exemption
for dependent but always get a
surtax exemption of $500 for each
dependent. GA wife is not considered
dependentD
If your wife has no income, you
get no normal exemption for her
But you get $500 surtax exemp-
ton for her, even though she is
not considered dependent. If she
has income and files separate

U. s., Soviet Propose
Feeding Of Germany
By 4 Powers Jointly
By the Associated Press

BERLIN, Mar. 1.-The Allied Con.
troll Council last night said the
United States and Russia had pro.
posed that the problem of feeding
Germany be undertaken jointly by
the four occupying powers instead
of keeping it on zonal basis.
The proposals were made during
informal discussions after the
British had brought up the ques-
ton, spotlighted by Wednesday,
British announcement that rations
in -. the British zone would be re-
duced from l,500 calories a day to
1,014 beginning March 4.
An American Military Govern
ment spokesman said the Council
agreed that the food situation was
very serious" and was mot solely
a British problem" American au-
thorities, however, discounted re-
ports from abroad that there was
starvation or immediate threats OF
a famine in Germany-at least in
the American zone of occupation.
Plan Supported.
Both 1t. Gen. Lucius D. Clay
American member of the council
and Marshal Georgi zhukov, Soviet
member, supported the plan for
making the feeding of Germany a
four power job and providing for
uniformity of action in the -four
zones.
A similar proposal was made by
the United States last fall, but was
rejected.
German radio stations and the
Berlin press began preparing the
German people for further ration
reductions.
One official source admitted that
American authorities were surprised
when the British announced that
rations in their zone would be re-
duced from their already low level.
Brig. Gen. William H. Draper, jr.,
director of the American Military
Government Division of Economics,
issued statement last night ex-
pressing regret at the British ac-
ton, and stating that the several
zones cannot continue as will now
be the case with the 1000 calorieS
in the British zone and $500 cal
ories in the United States zone"
The present situation has been
reported to the War Department, -
he said and added that when the
British raised the ration to 1900
calories for the normal consumer
in September, the ration was less
than ] 200 calories in the United
States zone. and it was not until
November that l,500 calories be-
came the ration level" in American
areas.

Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Ware
Ihousemen and Helpers, an Ameri-
can Federation of Labor (AFL) af-
filiate, began yesterday at 6 a. m.
It affected local carriage men and
"over the road" drivers and pre-
vented the unloading of trucks ar
irving in Dayton from other cities.
The union ordered the strike
when it's demand for 15-cent-an-
hour increase was turned down by
the Dayton Transportation club,
representing the trucking firms.
The operators offered a 712-cent-
an-hour increase at a negotiating
session last Friday, which was not
acceptable to the union Further
discussions of the dispute had not
been scheduled at late hour last
night.
According to David T. Finn, busi-
ness agent of the union, six local
companies signed agreements yes
terday granting a 48-hour week and
the followin wage rate: Drivers,
81 an hour; dock checkers, 921A
cents, and dock truckers and load
ers, 871a cents. The firms, no
longer affected by the strike, in
lcuded the Union Station Transfer
company, Linden Carriage, Air City
Transportation company and Weber
Carriage, Finn said.
Meanwhile Ohio Yellow Cab
drivers continued to picket the
firms office and garage, 321 West
Fourth street, in a dispute over
the discharge of one driver. The
strike was called Saturday at 6 p.
m. and took al Yellow Cabs off the
street. The drivers are members
of local 957, AFL.
Union officials said they had
been unable to contact Jesse Win
der, president of the company, to
arrange meeting to negotiate the
issue.
