question that remains. Almost
everyone, he said, can enter name,
address, social security number,
dependents, wages or salaries re-
ceived and tax withheld thereon,
and estimated tax payments made
during the year. With this much
accomplished, a great part of the
work is done on the vast majority
of returns, which report income
from employment only. For guild
ance on other items on the return
the director suggested that tax
payers consult the instruction
booklets which accompany the
blank tax forms now being mailed
to all who filed a return last year.
If any problem remains, the three
revenue offices in the state will
gladly answer questions over the
telephone, no matter how often
an individual taxpayer may seek
to clear up any tax matter.

INCOME TAX
INFORMATION
Internal Revenue Office Asks
Cooperation Of Della
ware Taxpayers
PERIOD OPENED JAN. 8

The Wilmington District Office
of the Internal Revenue Service
has asked for the cooperation of
Delaware taxpayers during the
income tax filing period which
opened January 8. Commissioner
Russell c. Harrington in a press
release on December % pointed
out that it is the policy of the In
ternal Revenue Service to provide
all taxpayers with all of the ad-
vice and assistance they need in
preparing their returns. He coup
led this assurance with the state
ment that this assistance would
be rendered by the most efficient
and time-saving means available.
Experiments conducted last year
in some districts throughout the
nation, he continued, had proved
that self-help and the designation
of special taxpayer assistance
days provided these means. Last
year the Delaware office was one
of the few districts to hold classes
during the entire filing period for
the filing out of returns, in which
revenue agents gave instruction
to a group of persons on the
Smyrna times., 1956-01-12

proper method of completing the
forms. This technique, plus the
wholehearted acceptance of the
self-help plan by Delaware tax
payers, resulted in the almost
complete elimination of long wait
ing lines which in former years
was an habitual event. In con-
formity with the national policy,
H. Leland Brown, director of the
local Office, has designated Mon
days and Fridays throughout the
filing period, which extends to
April Is, as special assistance
days. On these days a maximum
number of employees will be on
hand in the Wilmington, Dover,
and Georgetown offices to assist
taxpayers in all phases of filing
returns. Because of the holiday
on Monday, the first assistance
day will be Friday, January 8. On
non-designated days, as well as
on Mondays and Fridays, full SER
vice will be provided to answer
inquiries by telephone or in per-
son and to handle requests for
forms. However, on Tuesdays
through Thursdays, a smaller
number of employees will be as
signed to help in the actual filling
out of the return form than on
the special assistance days, with
the consequence that the waiting
time on non-designated days will
undoubtedly be longer. To avoid
waiting in any line on any day,
Mr.. Brown urged that taxpayers
fill out as much of the return as
they can at home, then telephone
he internal revenue Office on any
Smyrna times., 1956-01-12

In the second of his series of
weekly statements, Mr.. Frear,
fourth ranking member of the
Senate Committee on Finance
which handles all tax legislation,
repeated an earlier view that per-
sonal income tax relief in the low
er and middle income brackets
would stimulate added purchasing
power of consumer goods at a
time when production continues to
be at a high level.
At the same time the Delaware
Senator declared that Congress
will have to examine the effect of
any tax cut on the federal bud
get. "As one who has always op-
posed deficit financing, 1 support
the obvious necessity for return
ing the budget to a balanced state
and maintaining it in that condi-
tion. This, it seems to me, can
be accomplished through prudent
attention to non-defense expendi-
lures and perhaps foreign aid as
WELL"
Mr.. Frear said that the Senate
Finance Committee will undoubt-
edly also review the matter of ex-
else taxes and the status Of the
corporate tax rate in its forth
coming consideration of various
tax measures.

WATCHES CASH
Holds Purse Strings For Uni
versity of Delaware in Pur-
chasing Department
SAVES $4,000

Richard M. Brakeman, the man
who holds the purse strings for
the University of Delaware, has
bought everything from cadaver
bags to B-29 landing gear dur
ing the past year and has saved
nearly $4,000 in the process.
The purchasing department he
directs has assumed increasing
Importance in the past several
years in view of the limited funds
available for the operation of Del
aware's educational center.
Brakeman conducts competitive
bidding for all items required for
the vast and varied operation of
the university's educational facili-
ties. In addition, he is RESPONSE
BILE for the inventory of all cam
pus buildings and the disposal of
used and excess equipment. other
moments of his busy schedule are
devoted to the supervision Of the
stenographic services center, the
university's bookstore, telephone
switchboard and mail distribution.
The University Of Delaware pur-
chasing department and its poll
cies are the result of an extern
sive survey Of similar operations
at other state universities and
private colleges. Delaware is one
of the very few universities hav-
ing a published manual of pur-
chasing procedures and policies
for those officials charged with re-
QUESTIONING for their departments
and schools. The entire depart
ment, which is in no way con-
nected with the purchasing oper-
alton of the State, was establish
ed by the university in the inter-
est of economy and efficiency. 1t
is reputed to be among the ma
tion's most progressive collegiate
purchasing operations.
AS might be expected, large
savings have been achieved
through bulk purchasing and
yearly orders for maintenance ma
terials, janitorial and Office sup
plies. During the past year, for
example, Brakeman procured be-
tween two and three tons of sta
tionery and about twelve tons of
mimeograph paper.
All of the university's needs,
except specialized pieces of sci
entific equipment, are purchased
from suppliers on the basis of
competitive bids. Last year over
5000 firms contacted the purchas-
ing department in the interest of
dispensing their wares. Whenever
price, quality and service are SIM
liar, it is the policy of the uni
versity to deal with local sup
pliers.
An important phase of the pur-
chasing operation is the central
lied receiving center located in
the maintenance building. Here
the purchasing department main
tains warehouse containing sup
plies to meet nearly every possi-
BILE emergency as well as the ma
terials required by the many de-
partments for their everyday
functioning. All deliveries are
made to this center where the
goods are checked and stored or
delivered to their proper campus
location.

DRIVE SAFELY IN WINTER
Warning Issued to All Motorists
on Behalf of Winter Hazards

Warning Issued to All Motorists
on Behalf of Winter Hazards
TITS your responsibility to learn
how to drive safely in winter
weather."
This warning was issued by
Francis j. Jamison, assistant man.
ager of the Delaware Safety
Council to all motorists on behalf
of the Winter Driving Hazards
program being sponsored here
this month by the Delaware Safe
ty Council and the National Safe
ty Council.
winter is fraught with dang
ers for drivers, said Mr.. Jamison.
"Slick roads that may send a car
skidding at any moment, rain
streaming on the windshield, early
darkness which obscures the
drivers vision, wear and tear on
the engine caused by low temper
atures-all these are major fac
tors in winter traffic fatalities"
Winter driving requires COM
plete overhauling of both car and
driving habits, he said, so that
both will be able to cope with ex-
ira dangers involved in winter
driving.
"If the car is properly equipped
for safe winter driving and the
driver has the know-how to han
die himself and his car safely in
winter weather, the winter traffic
toll would be considerably reduc-
ed" he said.
Mr.. Jamison strongly recon-
mended that the following six
rules for safe winter driving, de-
veloped by the Committee on
Winter Driving Hazards of the
National Safety Council, be adopt
ed by all motorists as their code
of the road for winter driving:
1. Accept your responsibility.
DO all in your power to drive
without accident. Don't blame the
weatherman for an accident. Be
prepared to meet any situation
that may arise in winter driving.
2. Get the "feel' of the road.
Try brakes occasionally while
driving slowly and when there Is
no passing traffic. Find out just
how slippery the road is and ad-
just your speed to road and
weather conditions.
8. Keep the windshield and win
dows clear of snow and ice, fog
and frost. BE sure your head
lights, windshield wiper blades,
and defroster are in top condition.
Remember-you have to see dang
er to avoid it!
4. Use tire chains and good
tires. Whether you use regular
or snow tires, be sure the tread
is in good condition and not worn
smooth. Use tire chains on ice
or snow. They cut stopping dis
tances and increase traction four
to seven times.
5. Pump your brakes to slow
down or stop. Jamming them on
can lock the wheels and throw
you into a dangerous skid.
6. Follow at a safe distance.
Keep well back of the vehicle
ahead-give yourself plenty of
room in which to stop.

Market Outlook for Grass Cattle

herds in line with the abnormally favorable
grass conditions of recent years. Now they
are getting back to more normal basis.
So the outlook for 1857 is that the num-
Der of western feeder cattle will be smaller
than in recent years. With consumer de-
mandS for beef continuing at high level,
the demand for western grass cattle will
continue to be active. Another factor is the
relatively profitable results that will almost
surely be secured by corn-belt feeders this
winter.
These are the reasons why market spe-
cialiSts anticipate that prices for western
grass cattle will show substantial improve
ment in 1857.
This improving outlook for commercial
grass cattle is also favorable indication for
producers of registered breeding stock.
Better prices for western commercial cat
tie probably mean that prices for registered
breeding stock of good quality will also i'm
prove.

A Career I'm the Armed Services

WHILE A GUEST on the heavy cruiser
Rochester few months ago, the writer had
an opportunity to visit with the seven Mon
tana boys who were members of the crew
of this fine ship. When these boys were
asked whether they planned to stay with the
Navy after their period of service was over,
all except one answered, ''No."
The one who intended to make the Navy
a career had been in the service for nine
years. He enjoyed the opportunity to see
the world He felt that it afforded a chance
to perform worthwhile service for his coun-
try. He said while the pay was modest, the
possibility of retirement after twenty years
of service was a worthwhile consideration
The boys who intended to get out as soon
as their "hitch" was over gave number of
reasons. But it was apparent that the princi-
pal one was that they felt there was a great
er opportunity for more attractive income
in civilian life The married men complained
that they were away from home for too long
period. (Men serving on most of the ships
are off on cruise for about seven months
a year, headquartering at the home base
for about five months)
Unlike the old-time Navy where, as
someone has said, the principal require
ment for a seaman was ga strong back and
a weak mind" most of the jobs on the
modern warship are in the highly skilled
classification. 1t takes an able, intelligent,
well trained man to operate the complex
equipment and electronic controls on to-
days fighting ships.
The great problem from the standpoint
of naval administration is to retain enough
