and Organizations
EXPLAIN LAW REVISION

The mailing has been completed
of 113,485 Delaware income tax
and information returns for the
year 1947, which are required to
be filed on or before April 80,
State Tax Commissioner Pierre s..
DUPONT announced Tuesday. In
cluded in the mailing were 23,762
large forms for individuals having
income from businesses, partner
ships, rents or gains from the sale
of capital assets; 1881 small
forms for individuals, 1880 fiduci-
ary forms and 910 partnership
forms. In addition, information
forms Nos. 100 and 101 We're mail
ed to 1902 individuals, corpora
tions, partnerships and other or
ganizations for reporting pay
ments during the calendar year
1947 of salaries, wages and other
compensation or determinable in
come aggregating $500 or more to
a resident of Delaware or credited
subject to withdrawal by a resi-
dent. Corporations are also re-
quired to report payments of div
idends to a resident of Delaware
when total payments during the
calendar year amounted to $100 OIL
more. Mr.. DUPONT pointed out
that the following changes in the
income tax law were enacted by
the 1947 General Assembly and ap
ply to returns filed for the yeal
1947: Amounts received under tn,
CT Bill of Rights by veterans o.
World War II are exempt from tn,
tax. The exemption applies to in
come tax returns filed for the yea
Smyrna times., 1948-01-22

1945 and all subsequent years.
Amounts received as a pension
from employers, or the govern
ment of the United States or from
the State of Delaware are exempt
from tax. Amounts received as
old age and survivor benefits un-
der the Federal Social Security
law or as aid to dependent children
or old age assistance under the
laws of the State of Delaware also
rae exempt. In determining tax
able net income ordinary and OF
necessary expenses paid or incur
red for the production or collec-
tion of income or the management
conservation or maintenance OF
property held for the production
of income are allowed as deduc-
tions. Contributions made to a
corporation, church or community
chest, fund, or foundation, organ
lied and operated exclusively for
religious, charitable, scientific OF
educational purposes, or for the
prevention of cruelty to children
or animals are deductible regard
less of where the organization is
located. The previous law restrict
ed the allowance to such donations
as were used in Delaware or were
for the use or benefit of residents
of Delaware. For example, con-
tributions made to the Delaware
Chapter of the American Red
Cross during the year 1916 were
deductible only to the extent of so
per cent of the amount contribut-
ed as only so per cent of the
money collected by that organiza-
tion was used in Delaware. In de-
tedmining the gain on the sale of
his personal residence, a taxpayer
is not required to include in the
calculations any amount for de-
probation for the period the prop
erty was used as his residence.
This provision affects returns filed
for the year 1945 and all subse-
quent years. GA provision was
made for the allowance of head of
family exemption or marital ex-
emption to persons who are domi-
ciled outside of Delaware and who
are taxables by reason of main
tanning permanent place of abode
within the state and spending in
the aggregate more than seven
months of the taxable year within
Delaware.

creased from 99,O61 in 1916 to
125,661 during the year just ended,
a gain of 26,600.
Payments Climb
Payments made in 1947 climbed
accordingly. A total of S1,734, $50
was paid in hospital and surgical
benefits during the year as COM
pared with S1,146,1 1859, or S5ss, ,351
less, in 1916. Officials, however,
disclosed that the plan operated at
at overall loss of about four per
cent last year but it is expected
that this will be made up through
increased rates effective in March.
1t also was reported that a retro
active payment of $4,000 will be
made to member hospitals to COM

justment of rates.

Despite the loss recorded, it was
pointed out, costs of operating the
plan here were reduced six per
cent per contract last year. 1t is
believed that Delaware is the only
state where this has been accom-
plished. Although the increased

Refugee Girls Find
Happiness in Canada
Many Of Them Are Employed in
RaYon Spinning Mill.

ST. GEORGES, QUE.-One hun
dred European girls, who were
transported from displaced persons
camps in Germany to this little
French-speaking town in Quebec,
seem happy in their work in a ray
on spinning mill here. Socially they
stick pretty much to themselves.
Reaction to importation of the
girls, who began work at Is cents
an hour, has been heard in Canada
and elsewhere. Some labor leaders
criticized the organizer of the
scheme, Ludger Dionne, owner of
the spinning mill and liberal mem
Der of parliament for Beauce, for
the low wage being paid the girls.
At the same time, criticism of the
government, as having no uniform
immigration policy, was heard.
Dionne, however, has said that the
girls-flown here from Frankfort at
a cost of about $500 each-were be-
ing lodged and fed at an unusually
low rate of Sc a week. The girls,
who are under a not too rigid two
year contract recently received
their first raise-to 80 cents an hour.
All the girls are Roman Catholics
and Polish except for a few Yugo-
slavs, two Russian and a Lithu-
anian. A few speak good English,
an additional few a make them
selves understood, while two speak
passable French. The language diff
ficulty was seen as the major reason
they mix little with the people of
this town of 10000, which is about
65 miles south of Quebec city.
Anne Gaizutyte commented: 81
have no time for boy friends. I like
to stay home and read-I have SO
much to learn"
She is % and a former university
chemistry student.
The girls, although lacking in in
dustrial experience, are found to be
''good workers and quick to learn"
Dionne said they were not throwing
other girls out of work-he could
still take an additional so girls in
his plant if he could get them.
There has been no great comment
from other employers.
Although at first townsfolk weren't
too keen about arrival of the group,
Mayor Kenneth Pozer of st. Georges
West said: "The girls are received

perience at and above 5000 feet
Showalter cited his company's 10.
year program on substratosphere
research and development, and out.
lined the tests designed to "build an
adequate altitude margin into the
a%irplane."
Boeing flight crews, he said, have
spent more than 1900 hours above
$4,000 feet and conducted more fly
ing at 10000 feet or higher than all
the rest of man collectively" The
program has been carried on dur
ing the last five years in connection
with army air forces.
About $50 man-hours, aside from
mechanical work on equipment,
have been spent for each flight hour
in the conducting of tests and com
pilation of data, he said.
Needs Consideration.
Discussing government regula-
tons of aircraft, M. F. Vanik,
Boeing airworthiness engineer, said
new federal requirements in high
altitude design must be carefully
considered" because of the wide ex-
tent of the field and its national i'm
p%ortance.
"The basic philosophy of govern
ment aircraft regulations" he said,
"is to establish uniform safety rules
Of minimum standards which will
result in maximum safety common
with the best interests Of the
general public, the development of
aviation and the current science
and art Of aircraft design and
operation.
Laurel outlook., 1948-04-14

ITO realize the full advantages to
he obtained with high-altitude air
plane design, regulations must be
kept at a minimum, and those that
+ considered necessary must be
kept general and flexible to allow
achievement of the best realization
Of balanced design and efficiency"
Experience in high-altitude design
gained through the war will be
translated into commercial airplane
design, he said, and high-altitudc
flying soon will become common
due to its advantages in speed, COM
fort and economy.
