Examine Pines In Winter

Winter is a good time to ex-

have dropped than normal.

out the nation, he continued. had
proved that self-help and the desig-
nation Of special taxpayer assist
ance days provided these means.
Last year the Delaware office
was one of the few districts to hold
classes during the entire filing peri
Cd for the filing out Of returns, in
which revenue agents gave instruc-
ton to group Of persons on the
proper method Of completing the
forms. This technique. plus the
WhOlehearted acceptance Of the
self-help plan by Delaware taxpay-
ers, resulted in the almost complete
elimination Of long waiting lines
which in former years was an habi-
tual event.
In conformity with the national
policy, H. Leland Brown, director
Of the local office, has designated
Mondays and Fridays throughout
the filing period. which extends to
April IS, as special assistance days.
On these days a maximum number
Of employees viii be on hand in the
Wilmington, Dover, and George
town offices to assist taxpayers in
all phases Of fling returns. Because
of the holiday this past Monday,
the first assistance day will be to-
day, Friday, January 6.
On nO-designated days. as we'll as
on Mondays and Fridays, full ser
vice will be provided to answer in
quiries by telephone or in person
and to handle requests for forms.
However, on Tuesdays through
Thursdays, a smaller number of
employees will be assigned to help
In the actual filling out Of the re-
turn form than on the special as
sistance days, with the cOnse-
aaence that the waiting time on
non-designated days will undoubt-
edly be longer.
To avoid waiting In any line on
any day, Mr. Brown urged that tax
payers fiji out as much Of the re-
turn as they can at home, then tele-
phone the internal revenue office
on any question that remains. AL
most everyone, he said, can enter
name, address, social security num-
Der, dependents, wages or salaries
received and tax withheld thereon,
and estimated tax payments made
during the year.
With this much accomplished,
great part Of the work is done on
the vast majority Of returns, which
report income from employment
only. For guidance on other items !
on the return the director suggest I
ed that taxpayers consult the in
structiOn booklets which accom- I
pany the blank tax forms now be-
ing mailed to ali who fled a return
last year.
II 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.

Pros and Cons on Ingrid

NEW YORK.-Helen Hayes
has agreed to do a live scene on
TV with Ingrid Bergman in late
September if Ingrid decides tc
fly over between the finale of the
film, "Anastasia." and her Oc-
tober opening in "Tea and SYM
pathy" on a Paris stage. The
Swedish star has not committed
herself to the TV idea, largely
I think, because she doesn't
know how the American audi
ence will react to her. and how
great a controversy might ensue
At dinner parties here, this re-
porter deliberately has intro
duced the subject and found that
half of the disputants are vio-
lently FOR her. Those for kel
argue that she's suffered fol
seven years; point out that other
movie stars have been pardoned
for equally serious moral :nfrac-
lions. Those against her flare
up angrily What do you think
In the meantime, Helen Hayes
is being rushed through hel
