tereSt. all of which must be en-
tered on the tax return.
You may not use Form 1040A
but must file your return on
Form 1040 if % you had any
income from other sources, such
as annuitieS. rents, royalties, a
business or profession. farming
transactions in securities or other
property, partnerships, estates.
and trusts, or CO you claim the
status of head of a household, or
go you wish to deduct travel or
reimbursed expenses from your
wages.
2. SHORT-FORM 104O-Form
l040 may be used either as a
short form or as a long form.
The short form is simpler than
the long form. 1t differs from
Form l040A in that ta) you
must find your own tax; tb) you
may include income from sources
not eligible for reporting on
Form 1040A: and Co you may
deduct travel and reimbursed
expenses from your wages.
Therefore, if your income was
less than $4,000 and you do not
desire to itemize non-business
deductions contributions. in
terest, etc., find your tax from
the table on the back of the
form. tear off the first sheet and
file it as a Short-Form 1040.
3. LONG-FORM 1040-If your
non-business deductions are
more than 10 per cent of your
income. you will ordinarily save
money by itemizing your dedue-
lions on Long-Form l040. You
will then figure your tax &C
cording to the computation on
page 3, and file the entire form,
which is called long-form re-
turn. If your non-business de-
auctions are so close to 10 per
cent that you are in doubt
which is the better form, try
both the short form and the
long form to make sure.
Income Of $4,000 or More.
If your income was $4,000 or
more, you must use Long Form
1040 in preparing your 1853 in
come tax return. However, in
that case. you can either take
standard deduction or itemize
and claim your actual deduc-
tons. You should compare your
actual deductions with the
amount the standard deduction
allows you. If actual deductions
exceed the standard deductions,
you will save tax by electing to
itemize them. If you are single,
or if you are married and file
joint return. the standard de-
duction is 10 per cent of your
income but not more than
1000. If husband and wife file
separate returns and each had
income of $4,000 or more, the
standard deduction is a fiat $500
for each.

Steel Union Chief Sees
Good Production Year
By the Asseeioted Pres.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. lit
looks like good automobile pro-
duct:on in 1854. and the steel
induStry's prospects are good
otherwise, too, says David j.
Mcdonald, president of the CLIO
United Steel Workers of Amer
lea.
Mr.. Mcdonald told a reporter
yesterday there seems to be
swing back to manufacturing of
many other articles of steel. He
cited also activity in road build
ing and general construction.
I'VE don't expect this year to
equal 1858, but it we'll could be
one of the biggest production
years in history" he said.
The union leader. here yester-
day after attending human re-
lations seminar in San Bernar-
dino, had something to say about
layoffs. too. OF the lbs million
union members in the steel in
duStry, the maximum number
not working is 10000, he said,
adding that there is always a
certain number unemployed in
an industry of such size.

WHICH FORM
SHOULD YOU USE?
The Three Types of Returns.

~ AuhSS ASPCS VA NCtuA uSs
In an effort to fit the tax re-
turns to the differing needs Of
more than so million persons
who must file them. three types
of returns have been provided
Form 1040A, Short-Form 1O40,
and Long-Form 1O40.
The law expects you to pay
your correct tax-no moreno
less. 1t will pay you to think
for a momel.t which of these
three types of returns is the best
and easiest form in your case.
To do this you need to consider
the size of your income. the
sources of your income, your
eligibility to deduct travel and
reimbursed expenses from wages
and the size of your nonbusiness
deductions. such as contributions
medical expenses, etc.
The tax table used in comput-
ing the tax on Form l040A and
Short-Form 1040 automatically
allows you approximately 10 per-
cent of your income to cover your
nonbuSiness deductions. +.
Income Less Than $4,000.
/. FORM 1040A-This is the
simplest return of the three. If
you file this form. you do not
need to figure your own tax
From your answers to the ques-
tons, the District Director of
Internal Revenue will figure your
tax for you. and send you a bill
or a refund. You may use the
Form 1040A if your total income
was less than $4,000 and con-
sisted entirely of wages reported
on Withholding Statemen S
Form Wa. or of such wages
and not more than S1O0 total of
other wages, dividends and in

a non-segregated basis. The
Defense Department order for
bids any new post schools from
opening on a segregated basis.
Andrews Air Force Base has
a grade school with about 240
white children. One colored
child goes to a Prince Georges
County grade school of the
| base.
At Fort Monroe some 800
white children attend a base
grade school, while a few COL
ored children go to a local school
off the base.
At Fort Belvoir, approximately
TBS white children attend a mill
tary elementary school while Sc
colored children go to the nearby
Drew Smith Elementary School
operated by Fairfax County.
High School Situation.
There are no high schools on
the bases. Even after the order
goes into effect, the high school
students presumably would con-
tinue to go to off-base Segre-
gated schools unless the Federal
Government constructs high
schools on the posts.
Fairfax County school officials
said the school indignation order
would be considered at a meet
ing of the school board tomor-
row. The board previously has
stated it would discontinue oper-
alton of the Fort Belvoir school
if the Army ordered indignation
because the school board held
that it could not, under Virginia
law. operate a non-segregated
school.

Service Base Schools
Must End Segregation
By September, 1855

The Defense Department has
ordered the Army. Navy and Air
Force to end segregation in base
schools by September l. 1855.
President Eisenhower directed
last March that segregation in
schools on military bases be end
ed. The setting of the date is
an implementation of the orig
inal order.
FL Bases Are Affected.
Affected are 81 military bases
in Maryland. Virginia, Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma.
South Carolina and Texas. The
Virginia bases are Fort Belvoir,
Fort Monroe and Langley Air
Force Base. while in Maryland
they are the Andrews Air Force
Base, Patuxent Naval Air Sta
ton and the Naval Powder Fac
tory at Indian Head.
Assistant Secretary of Defense
John B. Hannah said details of
the plan to operate the schools
II local authorities refuse as ex-
pected-have been worked out
with the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
The schools now are operated
by local school boards with Fed
eral financial assistance. The
Welfare Departments Office of
Education would take over in
direct operation of the schools
where local authorities cannot
because of State laws forbidding
non-Segregated schools.
Funds Given by u. s.
Actually, the bases affected
will have to operate the schools
with funds provided by the Office
of Education. Under the law.
the Office of Education cannot
directly operate the schools.
I'VE thought We had worked
this thing out pretty we'll last
summer" Mr.. Hannah said. but
we found it necessary to conduct
some negotiations with Mrs.
Hobby's department tWelfare
Secretary Oveta Culp Hobby to
settle what would be done in
States which have laws forbid
ding non-segregated schools
There is precedent for military
bases operating schools with
Office of Education funds. Some
19 bases now have schools with
no connection with local schoo!
authorities. the Marine base at
Quantico. Va. among them.
The Office of Education has
$66.5 million this fiscal year for
financing these military-oper-
ated schools and to make pay
ments to local school systems
operating military schools or
having large numbers of chill
dren from military posts. This
system was started during World
War II to help communities
where large military installations
overloaded local school facilities.
School at Fort Myer.
The Army has an elementary
school under construction at
Fort Myer. It is expected to be
ready next fall and will open on
