The Internal Revenue Bureau
is teaching youngsters that it's
fun to fill out income tax re-
turns.
It is, too, because most of the
youngsters get refunds.
Internal Revenue has sent a
special booklet and other in
structional material to each of
the Nations $4,000 junior and
senior high schools. Teachers
across the country are starting
to use the material to show
classes how to fill out tax forms.
Nobody earning less than $500
a year must file a return or pay
taxes. Many youngsters have
summer jobs that pay less than
$500, but income taxes are with
held. So, to get back the money.
they have to file returns.
Helps to Overcome Fear.
With this appeal squirting on
the youngsters, they are learning
to overcome the fear many per-
sons still have toward tax blanks.

across the country after success

Three years ago, Mrs. Anna
Johns Steen, teacher at Ban

Internal Revenue for tax in
formation to relay to her ninth
grade students.
Out rushed Internal Revenues

formation Mrs. Steen needed
Then Mr.. Schneider got other
teachers to tell their students

Tax Bureau Shows Youngsters
The Fun in Filing Returns

Pretty soon, instructors were
grading students income tax
forms instead of mathematics
examinations. Schools that
helped in the test included
Sacred Heart High School, Jeffer-
son Junior High. George Mason
Junior High School in Falls
Church, Sousa Junior High and
Eastern Suburban Junior High
in Silver Spring.
All reported that students
liked the instruction. often learn
ing enough to help their parents
with their tax returns.
Sees Practical Aspects.
"I'm a practical person." Mrs
Steen said today. cts practical
to help people with their tax
returns.
"But I'm also interested In
building citizens. If you build
civic responsibility, that is more
important than the immediate
practical value"
That's the way Internal Reve-
nue. feels, too. The tax-collec-
tors don't begrudge the refunds
that many school children will
collect. Internal Revenues goal
is to collect "the exact tax-no
more, no less"
The Internal Revenue booklets
sent to $4,000 schools, give an
almost ne-by-line guide through
a short-form income tax blank
Internal Revenue also sent the
schools blow-ups of a tax form
for schoolroom instruction.
Only one set Of this material
went to each school. Already
many schools are asking for
more, but Internal Revenue can't
meet the demand-not without

U. 5. Air 0ffense Tops
Soviet, Twining Says
By the Asseeiated Pres.

Gen. Nathan F. Twining, Air
Force chief of staff, said today
Americas air offense still packs
harder punch than Russia s
but he warned that the Soviet
Union is making "a tremendous
effort to overcome that lead"
The Air Force chief also said
in in a copyrighted interview in
the magazine, U. S. News and
World Report, that the United
States is in better position to
strike through the air, should
war come, than to defend her
self against air assault.
He suggested the Soviets may
be trailing in development of a
potent air offense because the
Russians have had practically no
wartime experience with stra-
tegic, long-range operations.
Gen. Twiuing said American
air superiority would cut down
any advantage / the Russians
might enjoy from big land
armies.
If war should break out, the
American Air Force would swing
to the attack as soon as pos
sible" to crush the enemy's long
range air force, both in the air
and on the ground, Gen. Twin
ing said. A twin objective, he
added. would be the destruction
of the enemy's factories for
making aircraft. weapons and
other war goods deep behind the
lines.

President Expecting
Boom Year, but Is on
Alert Against Slump
sy the Assoeie,sa Prsss

President Eisenhower will fore
cast continued prosperity in
1854 when he sends his annual
economic message to Congress
in January, his aides say.
But they also expect him to
outline the defense his admins
tration plans to throw up against
any possible recession.
The Presidents Council of
Economic Advisers has been
working up a stabilization pro-
gram since. last spring.
It calls for four main anti-de-
preston steps. ranging from
Federal action to encourage
maintenance of high production
and employment down to a Fed
eral public works program that
would be used only a dire eco
nomic emergency.
If the public works projects
are needed, officials say, only
those that would contribute to
the country's long-range pro-
ductivity and economic growth
would be built.
The phases in the anti-depreS-
sion program:
1. Strengthening of some Of
the ''built-in stabilizers" against
deflatiOn: Social security extern
sion. broader unemployment
compensation coverage. increase
in the minimum wage from rs
cents an hour. Some immediate
action is anticipated in this field.
Continued high farm price sup
ports also might come under this
heading. If Gen. Eisenhower and
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
adopt that policy"
2. Measures to give consumers
and business firms spending in
centives: Lowering of interest
rates. encouraging business in
vestment by Federal Reserve
and Treasury moves affecting
bank reserves and national debt
management.
8. Tax Adjustment: An overhaul
OF the Federal tax structure al
ready is underway with stress
on removing obstacles to business
investment and consumer pur-
chasing. Administration officials
made it plain budget balancing
would have to step aside if it
looks as though tax reduction
and deficit spending would be
needed to prevent economic COL
lapse.
4. Public Works: Private in
dustry as well as State and local
governments would get Federal
loans, tax concessions and other
indirect aids in financing needed
projects to avoid direct Federal
spending wherever possible.
However. administration off,
cials expect the President to re-
assure the country that the new
year will yield prosperity at or
near the 1853 boom level.

1O-Foot Boa Constructor
Found Dead in MARYLAND

Basil Furr startled fellow
workers at the Agriculture De-
partment's experimental station
at Beltsville today when he
showed up for work with a dead
10-foot boa constructor.
Mr.. Fur, who is assigned to
the animal and disease section
there, found the snake Saturday
along the Baltimore boulevard
at Savage, Md.
The snake, he said, was coiled
and frozen when he discovered
it in the grass near a picnic
plot. 1t measures about 5 inches
in diameter, he said.
Mr.. Furr believes the snake
may have been dropped off by
passing vehicle. There were no
scars or marks on it, indicating
that the snake probably froze
to death, he added.

Rescuers Try Again
10 Reach U. 5. Flyers
On Iceland Glacier
sy the Assoeiosed Pres.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-A ground
rescue team started a new climb
today up an Iceland glacier in a
desperate bid to reach a United
States Navy plane which crashed
Thursday with nine men aboard.
Biting billiards and tearing
winds turned back rescue squads
last night after they had battled
to within a mile of the wreck,
United States Air Force officials
here said. The rescuerS had to
retreat several miles and make
camp because of the severe
weather.
Continuous blizzards that had
reduced visibility to zero were
less severe this morning, Air
Force headquarters reported.
The rescuers are battling
against time in a race to reach
possible survivors. The SD Air
Rescue Squadron reported severe
weather was expected to close in
later today "but there is a good
chance of reaching the wreck
before the weather sets in
again"
The plane, a twin-engine Nep-
tune, disappeared on a fight
from Keflavik Air Field, Iceland.
Hope that some of the flyers
may still be alive has not been
abandoned but a report from
Reykjavik. Iceland's capital, said
authorities now hold little hope.
The SD Air Rescue Squadron
tried to drop emergency supplies
around the crash during the
night but severe icing foiled the
attempt. An aerial drop of
climbing equipment was planned
for today.

thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day. All
the paths of the Lord are mercy
and truth unto such as keep his
covenant and his testimonies. A
correlative passage from the text
book, Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy Isl Up. 2S5) ut is es-
'sential to understand, instead OF
believe, what relates most nearly
to the happiness of being. To seek
Truth through belief in a human
doctrine is not to understand the
infinite. We must not seek the
immutable and immortal through
the finite, mutable, and mortal,
and so depend upon belief instead
of demonstration, for this is fatal
to a knowledge of Science. The
understanding of Truth gives full
faith in Truth, and spiritual I'M
Outstanding is better than all burnt
offerings"
