HACKENSACK, N. j., Aug.
20 (R.-Bergen County officials
are studying the legality of a
plan to pick jury panels by an
automatic business machine in
stead of the system used here
since TIA.
The machine actually was to
have selected seven different
panels Of 275 names each to-
morrow. But instead, officials
have decided to look up the
law on such use of a machine,
which will do in seven hours
other jury routine that normal
ly takes two months.
Since TIA, juries here have
been picked this way:
The jury commission has
taken a list Of 5000 names.

discs are then made up and
dropped in a barrel. The discs
are drawn to select the panel. A
: Typists type up a list of jur-
ors on each panel. Then they
address Subpoenas to the jur-
ors. Picking the panels has
taken two days, compiling the
list and subpoenas two months.

adopted a few months ago
under the auspices of Senator
Walter Jones, Republican of
Bergen, and signed by Gov.
Robert B. Meyner, a business

QUESTION: I'm taking care of
a friend who has been down and
out for some time. He's living
with us until he can get back
on his feet. Can I claim him as
"a dependent?
ANSWER: Yes. you can, even
though he is not a relative. You
may claim a nonrelative as a
dependent if during 1856 his
gross income was under $500;
you furnished more than half
his support; that person had
your home as his principal place
of abode; and he was a member
of your household for the entire
year.
Foster Child Exemption
QUESTION: I took care of a
foster child in 1856. Although
we were paid for this, we spent
much more on the child than
we were paid. Can we claim an
exemption for the child?
ANSWER: Yes. If the child
was with you and you furnished
more than half of the support
during the year.. you can take
the 5000 exemption.
QUESTION: My father re-
ceived 5000 in Social Security
payments during 1856. l also
helped support him. Can I claim
a $500 deduction for him?
ANSWER: Although an adult
whose gross income is $500 or
more can't be claimed as a de-
pendent. your fathers receipt of
5000 in Social Security doesn't
disqualify him. Social Security is
not considered as gross income
at all; therefore your father had
no gross income and qualified to
be claimed as a dependent. But
although Social Security isn't
gross income, it is counted as
part of the money your father
spent for his support. Thus, if he
spent the entire 5000 on his sup
port and you contributed less
than that to him during 1856.
you didn't furnish more than
half his support during the year

Efforts to increase the interest
