Dependents May Now Have $500 Income

Dependents for whom an exemp- ton is allowable for income tax purposes may now have income up to $500 instead of the $500 ceiling previously in effect, it is announced by Internal Revenue Collector, Clark Squire. This change was made by the Revenue Act of 1851 and is effective for 1851 and subsequent years.
 Parents, for instance, whose child ren have been employed after school or during the summer months may claim the $500 exemption providing the child's total earnings for the year are less than $500. If the earn- ings are $500 or more the child may not be claimed as dependent but must file his own return.
 A dependent whose income is un- der $500 for the year should file return to recover the withheld tax even though he is being claim ed as dependent on another tax payers return.

Two "get-rich-quick" deals in
volving Agriculture Department
employees may get a public airing
early next year by Senate COM
mittee, it was learned today.
One involved profits of more
than 100000 from leasing sur
plus Government buildings at
Camp Crowder, Mo-, and subleas-
ing them to another Government
agency to store grain.
The other was an investment
pool formed by Federal employees
to speculate in oil and gas rights
on land formerly owned by or
under mortgages held by the Ag-
riculture Department.
Three investigators for the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee, under
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, have been gathering
data for a preliminary report
on both matters.
Most of the key witnesses in
volved are in st. Louis and Kan
sas City.
Initial Senate demand for full
investigation of the two deals
came from Senator Williams,
