knowledge of the rules govern
ing dependency deductions is
vital If you are to save tax dollars.
Question: My father collected
$720 in social security benefits
last year. / understand that
anyone getting $500 or more in
income can't be claimed as a de-
pendent. Does this mean that
even though I contributed much
more than $720 to his support,
can't get the $500 deduction for
him?
Answer: No, 1t doesn't mean
that at all. Gross income-which
is the test-does not include
social security benefits. Since
you contributed all the rest to
his support. he is your dependent.
This rule, though, can be
tricky. Let's suppose that in
addition to the $720 In social

security benefits your father
he also collected gross
of 500 in rents from a house he
owns. But after interest and
land taxes, his net income from
the house was less than 5000.
Although his social security
benefits don't count in his gross
income and his net income from
his house was less than 5000, his
gross income from the house
topped 5000 and that eliminates
him as your dependent. This is
so even though you contributed
more than half his support.
Problems of Support
Question: I supported my
mother for four months in 1855;
my sister took care of her the
other eight months. But in my
shorter period, I contributed
more than half of the cash
needed to support my mother
throughout the year. Who gets
the dependency deduction?
Answer: You do. The test is
not the time" of support; the
test is the total dollars con-
tributed to the support. Let's
say you contributed $40 a week
during her eight-month period
of support, while your sister con-
tributed $l8 a week during the
period. You were
the main support. You get the
$500 exemption.
Question: had been the sole
support of my mother for years.
She died last January. Do get
any exemption for 1855?
Answer: Yes. you get the full
$500 exemption for 1855. even
though she lived only a few days
in 1855. And that rule applies
to dependents born during the
year too If your baby was born
late last year-even December
3l-you still get a $500 exemp-
ton for another dependent in
1855.

to convert preferred into COM
mon stock.
He said: This will improve
the investment position OF the

the capital structure and add
hexibility for future financing"
Mr.. Dunn, in letter to share
holders. recalled:
After release of the company's
annual report to stockholders
showing substantial increase
in earnings, conversion of the
AZ per cent convertible pre-
ferred stock into common stock
accelerated. Following the an
nouncement on November %,
1855, of the increase in the
common stock dividend to an an
nual rate of 81 so per share and
the call for redemption of the
5ia per cent convertible preferred
stock, additional conversions OF
this stock occurred. At the
present time 93,052 shares re-
main outstanding. This compares
with 130,464 shares at the end
of the fiscal year July 81, 1855.
In view of the much higher
yield on the common stock into
which the preferred stock is con-
vertible, further conversions may
be expected"
Mr.. Dunn also said the new
branch store at Seven Corners,
Fairfax County, Va, is expected
to be opened in August. He said

1t was planned at first to enter
the Pope's tomb through the cat

had to be abandoned, however
because the passageways of the
