Billion Dollar
Sales Year Set
By kroger In 81

CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 6 -
Billion-dollar-plus sales for 1852
were reported today by the Kro-
ger Co. for the first time in its
70-year history. Sales of $1,051,- :
803,354 during 1852 place the re-
tails food firm among 26 Amer
ican companies. that last year
could claim topping the billion
dollar mark. Kroger's 1852 sales
were five per cent higher than
sales of 1897 .086, ,223 during 1851.
The company was founded in
1882 by the late B. H. Kroger, son
of German immigrant. His first
small store on Cincinnati's river
front represented an investment
of only $772. But at the end of the
first year the business showed
assests of $500 and it continued
to grow. Sales reached the million
dollar mark for the first time in
1902.
Another company record was
set in 1852 when sales for the
thirteenth four-week period end
ing December u, 1852, totaled
$85 5,236, 1856. This tops by two per
cent the previous all-time high of
$83 ,913,210 for the 18th period
of 1851.
Average number of Kroger
stores in operation during the
period was 1893 compared with
1885 stores during the 1851 thir-
teenth period, a. decrease of five
per cent, it was said.

There are two key sets of fig
ures in preparing your income tax
return your total income from
all sources, and allowable deduc-
tions. These will determine the
type of return form you use, and
wheather you itemize your nom
business deductions or take ad-
vantage of the standard deduction
of 10 per cent allowed on your
income subject to limitations
discussed below.
The government allows deduc-
tons for most non-federal taxes,
for losses from fire, storm or theft,
for contributions to religious,
charitable and educational organi-
cations (but NOT to individually, /,
for interest paid, and for extra
ordinary medical and dental ex-
penses, subject again to some
limitations.
How to Figure Deductions
If your allowable deductions
amount to more than 10 per cent
of your income, it will pay you to
itemize them. Otherwise, use the
standard 10 per cent formula. This
gives a single person, or mar
ried couple filing a joint return,
a lump deduction of $500 on a
$4,000 income, $3.50 on $500 and
SO on up to a maximum of 81, 200
on $4,000 income. Married per-
sons filing separately are allowed
a $500 deduction.
1t is wise to make calculations
both ways if you have had large
medical expenses or have been
making heavy interest payments
on a mortgage.
Married couples must decide
whether to make separate or joint
returns. In most cases, Joint re-
turns are advantageous because
the Income splitting" provision
of the present tax law often re-
suits in a smaller tax than would
be due on separate returns.
When you make out your return,
keep an exact copy for yourself.
This will save you time and
trouble if you later want to make
a change or correction in the re-
turn.

Field Day Is Slated
For District Citizens
AT Budget Hearing
By Don S. Worren

OlSCTlCC ClLlZenS Will nave a
field day tomorrow at the wind
up hearing before the Dirksen
subcommittee of the Senate on
the city's record-breaking $3.50
million 1854 budget.
No less than 76 witnesses were
listed yesterday and some added
starters are expected before the
hearing is ended.
School and health problems
are scheduled for attention at
the morning session. Needs of
police. fire and civil defense will
be debated later in the day along
with questions of welfare, recrea-
ton and public works.
Committee officials are urging
all witnesses to bring prepared
statements so that these can be
inserted in the record If time
limits have to be imposed.
Civil Defense Is Issue.
Late this week, or more prob
ably early next week, the Dis
trict Subcommittee of the SEN
ate Appropriations Committee
will meet in executive session to
write it's version of the city's
spending program, which was
reduced by $50 million by the
House
What to do about the District
civil defense program remains
one of the big issues. District
requests have been severely
slashed in past years and again
this year the House took such
action.
Chairman Dirksen has declared
the time has come for a policy
decision. He has called for the
views of Federal officials as a
guide to this. He was advised
yesterday that a statement would
be presented tomorrow by Val
Peterson. head of the Federal
Civil Defense Administration, or
by one of his aides.
Because the Senate has not yet
acted on the. bill, fears arose
yesterday that the civil defense
staff would be practically dis
mantled pending Senate action
on the regular supply bfil.
Expects Funds by July Is.
The House yesterday passed a
continuing resolution to take care
of Federal and District agencies
whose annual supply bills were
delayed. At first blush. it appear
ed that the District civil defense
Office would have almost nothing
to work with because the House
had cut its request for the new
year from $315.000 to $23, ,339.
But District Budget Officer
Walter L. Fowler sought to calm
fears by saying the next payday
for this Office would not be until
July Is and that by that time,
the Senate probably would decide
how much money should be
granted this agency.
In the meantime, he said it
could be assumed that the staff
of the District civil defense or
ganization would stand by until
Congress had adopted a 1854
policy for this whole program.

CamaIier Opposes
Board Control Of
Health Department

Commissioner Renah F. Cana
lier opposes creation Of a public
health board to run the Districts
Health Department. although he
favors retention Of the 27-year-
old board which sets the policies
Of the Welfare Department.
The city head stated his views
last night during the weekly
commissioners Report" broad
cast over Radio Station WWDC
under questioning by newsmen.
Mr.. Camalier said he saw no
contradiction in his positions on
the two boards. The welfare
board. he pointed out. is manned
by members who Lave devoted
much of their lives to welfare
matters and are outstanding in
the field.
Favors E Street Bridge.
He emphasized that his mind
is still open on the health matter,
but that "for the present, say
that I would be premature to
create a health board"
On another controversial mat
ter. Mr.. Camalier disclosed he
favored construction of q new
Potomac River bridge in an ap-
proximate line with E street.
I'VE must have access to the
downtown business section," he
said.
In the discussion Of the health
and welfare boards, the Commits
Sioner first reiterated his opposi-
ton to the proposed abolition,
under the District Government
reorganization program, of the
public welfare board.
The reorganizers have recon-
mended the board be done away
within favor of a single-director
control Of welfare matters.
Wants Determined" Advisers.
Notwithstanding arguments of
the medical profession which
favors establishment of a public
health board to head the Health
Department, the reorganizers
also have urged continuation of
the single director setup for that
agency.
Mr.. Camalier said a strong
and determined" citizens health
advisory council to advise the
public health director should be
provided. This is another rec
ommendation of the reorganizers,
in keeping with their plan for
setting up a citizens welfare
advisory council to help guide
the public welfare director.
He said he took this stand only
for the present. He said he had
not yet finished reading the vol
luminous report Of the special
citizens committee On medical
care for the INDECENT. A major
recommendation Of this report is
the formation of a health board.
Speaking Of President Eisen-
hower's recommendation last
week that the District provide
disqualification facilities for drug
addicts. Mr.. Camalier said he
took this as an indication that
the President will support the
city's request, if and when it
comes, for funds to build such
a care center.
