Red Paper Halls Unity.
While most of the world hailed
the end of the blockade as a

fetal Soviet Army newspaper,

it an "unquestionable success of
the policy of unity which was
always pursued by the Soviet
Union and the progressive forces
of Germany"
The paper said that now that
the Berlin blockade was ending,
"warmongers" would make new
efforts to split Germany-and
claimed approval of the new
West German democratic consti-
tuition marked such an attempt.
But throughout the border area
there was excitement in the air
as willing workers installed radio

painted border signs and clipped
weeds beside the long-neglected
highways.
The British expected to have
the first train into the city.

Internal Revenue
Department Offers
Taxpayers Help

During the period January 16 to
January 81, 1850, the following
one offices of the internal rev.
enue service, which are located at
Anaconda, Billings, Bozeman, Cut
Bank, Butte, Glasgow, Glendive,
Great Falls, Havre, Helena, Kalis-
pell, Lewistown, Livingston, Miles
City, and Missoula will be open
from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. each day,
except Saturday and Sunday, to
assist farmers and stockmen in
filing their 1919 federal income
tax returns, according to Thomas
M. Robinson, the collector of in
ternal revenue.
The law provides that any per-
son who derives at least two-thirds
of his income from farming may
postpone the filing of his 1949
declaration of estimated tax on
form 1040-ES until Jan. Is, 1850.
However, if he so desires, such
person may file his income tax re-
turn on form 1040 on or before
Jan. 81, 1850, in which event he
will not be required to file a dec
laration of estimated tax on or be-
fore Jan. Is.
Due to the heavy volume of reg
ular work that must be taken care
of, no assistance can be given on
the filing of estimated tax returns,
during the period January l to
January Is. These returns are
simple, and no one should have
any difficulty in preparing them
states Mr.. Robinson.
He also advised that January Is
is the final date on which tax
payers other than farmers, may
amend their 1949 estimated tax
returns.
