By the Associated Press

Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, said last night
President Eisenhower sometimes
seems to regard the United Ma
tons as kind of vast machine
Into which difficult problems
may be fed and automatic an
swers provided"
"a tendency to enforce tasks
on the United Nations beyond
its capabilities does a disservice
to the y. N. and its future. SEN
ator Humphrey said in a speech
prepared for a dinner of Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action at
the Willard Hotel.
Reliance on the United Ma
tionS in the absence of both pol
icy and leadership is self
defeating"
Senator Humphrey is vice
chairman OF the ADA. which
has been holding its 10th BIRTH
day convention here to plan its
policies for the future.
The ADA defines itself as a
nonpartisan. anti-communist Or
ganization devoted to fostering
liberal programs.
McKeldin Is Speaker
In its l0-year history, the ADA
has supported only Democratic
candidates for the Presidency
but it has backed both Repub-
licans and Democrats in con-
gressional and gubernatorial
races.
Another speaker at the dinner
the first major Republican
ever TO address an ADA con-
vention was Gov. Theodore r
McKeldin Of Maryland. The
ADA supported him in his last
campaign.
In his prepared speech. Gov
McKeldin called on liberals To
formulate a long range policy
covering certainly the next 10
years and probably the re-
mainder Of this century"
One enormous problem" he
cited involves what he described
rs the transfer of the vast ma :
jority OF our people from a
rural to an urban environment
In the last half century.
Gov McKeldin said the coun-
try has been developing mot SO
much cities as groups Of cities,
adding at another point:
IN the old-style cities, where
people we're piled upon each
other the task of teaching
newcomers how to adjust to ur-
ban living was assumed. not by
liberalism. but by persons VINO

and figure your tax both ways to see
which results in the smaller tax. AS
the Treasury Department has pointed
out: The law expects you to pay
your correct tax-no moreno less.
Married Couples
Most married couples save tax dol
lars by filing a joint return instead of
separate returns. This is because the
tax is figured on a joint return as if
the husband and wife each had one
half the total income (even though
the wife may actually have had no
income). Income-splitting, as it is
called, may bring the couple down
into a lower tax bracket.
Watch for the exceptions, however.
If you had capital losses or unusually
high medical expenses, you will be
wise to figure both jointly and
separately to see which results in less
tax.
If you are supporting a dependent
and maintain home for that person
although you are single, widowed,
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1957-02-07

divorced or legally separated, you
may be able to qualify as head
of household" and figure your tax
on a special table which gives you
part of the advantage enjoyed by
married couples filing joint returns.
Surviving Spouse
Also, if your husband or wife died
in 1854 or 1855, and you have as
member of your household depen-
dent child or stepchild, you are en-
titled as a surviving spouse" to the
same income-splitting benefits this
year as you would have on a joint
return-unless you remarked before
the end of 1856. The privilege to file
as surviving spouse applies to, the
first two years following the year in
which your husband or wife died.
The instruction book which comes
with your tax forms gives further
information. Help is also available by
telephone or at offices of the Internal
Revenue Service. The Revenue Ser
vice urges you to consult a properly
qualified advisor if you decide to
seek outside help.

INCOME TAX FACTS
Correct Form Saves Dollars

This Is one Of series of articles on
federal income tar filing. The articles
are based on Information provided by
the American Institute of Accountants
and the Ohio Society of Certified
Public Accountants in cooperation
aoith the IaterndI Reuenue SerUice.l
The government gives you the
alternative of using the simplified in
come tax form 1040-A, the "short
form" 1040, or the long form" 1O4O,
depending on the amount and circum-
stances of your income. Selection of
the wrong form may cost you un-
necessary tax dollars.
The easiest form to file is the 104O-
A. and according to Treasury re-
cords, one out of four taxpayers use
it. To be eligible to file a 1040-A form
your tootal income must be less than
$1,000, consisting entirely of wages
subject to Withholding Tor OF wages,
dividends, and interest, providing not
more than 500 of such income came
from a source outside that listed on
your VIZ slips). The simplified form
makes no provision for Head of
Household status or itemiZed deduc-
tons. If you use this form the govern
ment will figure your tax and send
you either a refund or a bill, if you
so desire. However, for the first time
this year, you can compute your own
tax on form 1040-A and either send
in the balance due with the return or
show theron the amount of refund you
have coming.
Whether To Itemize
Should you decide to use the
regular form 1040 you still have the
chose of itemizing deductions or us
ing a standard deduction which
amounts to about 10 percent of your
income. If your income was less than
$1,000 and you use the standard de-
duction, you determine your tax from
the special table given in the instruc-
ton book
You are likely to save by itemizing
deductions if you:
ID Own real estate
C2) Had unusual medical expenses
C3) Had deductible child-care expense
tD Suffered losses from, storm, acci-
dent or theft
t5) Made fairly large contributions
1t is important to remember that
if you incur such expenses as trans
portation, meals or lodging in con
nection with your work, check care
fully the instruction book to find hoH
these expenses may be deducted ever
though you decide to use the standard
deduction
If your deductions are close to II
percent, it is wise to itemize then
