and heard gasping. The Police
was notified and went to inves-

Those of you with incomes of
$1,000 or more who decided to
take the standard 10 per cent
deduction follow the same pro-
cedure in computing your tax
with one important exception.
On line two, instead of entering
the total of your actual deduc-
tons, you enter the permissible
standard deduction.
Now, keep in mind that there
are three different sets of rate
schedules, and which you will
use depends on who you are. On
page IL of the official Govern
ment instructions, you will find
the schedules. Schedule is easy
and is for the ordinary single
taxpayer or married person fill
ing a separate return. Schedule
II is for married taxpayers filing
joint returns and for certain
widows and widowers. Schedule
III is for an unmarried or legally
separated person who qualities
as head of a household.
On the same amount of tax
able income, Schedule II results
in the least tax, Schedule III in
the next lower amount and
Schedule I in the most tax.
Dependency Deductions
Q. was unmarried during
1856 my husband died in 1859
but I supported my child and
my widowed mother in my house.
Do get any special tax break
apart from dependency deduc-
tons?
A. Yes. You may qualify as
the head of household which
means that you will pay lower
taxes than other single persons
would on the same income. For
example, on $4,000 of taxable
income, you would pay $1,000,
as against $l,360 for a single
person.
In order to qualify as head
Of a household" you have to be
unmarried or legally separated
at the end of 1856, or married
to a nonresident at any time
during 1856. You cannot at any
time during 1856 have been a
nonresident alien yourself. In
addition. you must have fur
nished over half the cost of
maintaining as your home a
household which was the prin-
cipal place of abode of certain
persons during 1856. These per-
sons include the taxpayers I'M

Big Fraud Cases
Take SEC Funds
AT Fast Clip

Rounding up evidence in the
investigation of six New York
boiler rooms, the Bellanca Corp.
and other big cases now pend
ing. has brought some remark
able results. but also has used
up the budget of the Securities
and Exchange Commission some
what faster than expected,
Chairman j. Sinclair Armstrong
disclosed last night.
Following an address before
the Fiduciaries Section of the
District Bankers Association at
the Touchdown Club, Chairman
Armstrong said the SEC would
be unable to increase its staff
beyond its present 794 although
a budget for BIS persons was
provided in the present fiscal
period ended next June 80.
$4,000 Accounts Scanned
In the six boiler rooms alone,
the SEC took over $4,000 &C
counts. sent out $500 question:
Inaires to former customers of
these firms and received around
1880 replies in an attempt to
determine under what circum-
stances these firms sold stocks by
telephone and caused substantial
losses to investors, Mr.. Armstrong
reported. Several hundred per-
sons scattered over the country
were interviewed by staff mem
bers from regional offices closest
to them. This took a great deal
lof time and increased costs.
However. he said prospects are
good for approval of an SEC
budget that will permit an in
crease in the staff to $50 persons
in the next fiscal year beginning
July /.
Case Load Increases
/ Dealer revocation cases in the
eight months totaled as, same
as for the entire preceding II
months. Injunction cases in
eight months rose to So, COM
pared with 33 in all of the pre-
!, viouS fiscal year. In eight
months l6 criminal cases were
referred to the Justice Depart
!; ment. compared with II in all
Of the previous year
But the biggest part Of the
additional expense was the cost
Of rounding up evidence against

Riggs Gold Safe
Returned After
Lonq Absence

The little old safe in which
Riggs g. Co. used TO keep gold
bullion before it became the
Riggs National Bank has re-
turned like the proverbial bad
penny.
Long since forgotten, it was
disposed of with a lot of other
equipment around the turn of
this century when the bank
moved to its present quarters
from the old corner building
where the main Office of Amer
lean Security e. Trust Co. now
stands.
j The circumstances are little
vague. but the safe became the
property Of the late Ellie Sheetz,
Washington's famous candy
maker and founder of the
Martha Washington Candy Co.
Mr.. Sheetz was a close friend OF
Elisha F. Riggs. son of the
founder of Riggs g. Co.
When the Martha Washing
ton Candy Co. moved out of its
historic quarters at 507 Twelfth
street NV. last week. Riggs
officials were asked whether they
wanted the safe. 1t was vel
coined to a growing collection
of relics and documents aSso-
ciated with the history OF the
institution since 1882.
Several coats Of paint will bt
removed to make 1t look as good
as new. The combination has
been saved. and it is in gooc
working order. but it isn't very
practical for modern banking.
While its outside dimensions
are about two feet high. wide
and deep. the door is so thick
that inside dimensions are about
six inches each way. That is why
Riggs officials know 1t must
have been used as a gold de-
pository. It's maker was thf

Age Of Atomic Industry
Expected in Five Years

Although American scientists
have predicted that big-scale in
dustrial application of atomic
power is 10 years away, British
scientists are forecasting the new
fuel age will be with US in five
years. reported George Weiss
partner in charge of research for
Bache g. Co.. here yesterday.
Mr.. Weiss said the British have
q recognized lead in atomic de-
velopment for industry and that
American companies will have q
surprising share in it. He pre-
dicted that Union Carbide anc
Westinghouse Electric will bt
among the leaders. A number o.
the big industrial equipment
companies also are in favored
position. he said.
AS for the near-term, Mr.

ket. Government spending viii

average profits are equal to 1855
Ford dealershipS are said tc
have had two months sales about
midway between 1855 and 1856
levels. Profits are reported as

Chevrolet sales in the area are
reported about equal to a year

in some other GIN cars. Profits
range from moderately improved
to sharply higher.
If you heard the latest about
there being an IL months wait

true. Distributors here said the
supply is about six months be-
hind dealers orders and that
customers are waiting from three
to six months, depending on in
dividual dealers.
