To Use S. Numbers
For Income Tax Service

Taxpayers were assured by
Mortimer Caplin, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, that
gradual, orderly plan. with the
least possible inconvenience TO
them. will be followed in assign
ing Identification numbers under
the authority of the new law
dP. L. 87.397), signed by Presi-
cnt Kennedy on October 5, 1861.
The new law was enacted by
Congress in order to facilitate
the services conversion OF its
processing and records systems
TO modern high-speed clectronic
data processing equipment.
Under the new system, it will
he more important than ever
that each taxpayers account and
documents be accurately indenti-
fled. Since many names are alike
or may be mis-spelled on docu-
mcnts from other sources, i.
Identification numbers will be
used as permanent tax account
numbers so that the combination
of names and numbers will min
mize errors.
Since very high percentage
Of taxpayers already have social
security numbers, il has been
decided to use the same num-
bcrs for tax purposes in order
10 save these taxpayers the
troubles Of applying for new
numbers.
Similarly. nearly every bus
mess has an employer idcntifi-
cation number which il uses on
social security and income tax
Withholding returns, and the
same numbers will be used for
identifying business returns
(such as annual corporation in
come tax. and quarterly excise
and employment tax rcturns).

sumably justified; and he runs
where he must, toward God in the
dark cleft, to the third rail, the
coal of fire that can take away
iniquity.
He snatches ladle from beside
milk pail and flees to an obbli-
cato of city voices, which from
the Orders of half-finished
building, warehouse, a bar,
poker table speak with unclean
lips of lust and greed, hatred and
vengefulneSS. Only David dreams
of consummation that will tram
scend and redeem the flesh, final
ly thrusts the metal he bears be-
tween the black lips of the tracks
and the awful lightning is re-
leased, his body shaken by in
effable power, and his conscious
ness all but obliterated. Yet his
intended sacrifice redeems no one.
merely adds new range of am
biguity to the chorus in which
one voice blasrhemes against the
faith Of another and all against
love Himself dazzled, the reader
hears again certain phrases he has
before only half understood, lis
tens again, for instance, to the
bar-room voice that Knocked the
street-corner orator, "How many
times'u your red cock crow, Pete.
befaw y'gives up? Tree?"-no-
tees the three" the name "Pete."
and remembers the other Peter
who, three times before the cock
crow, denied his Rabbi.
In the interplay of ironies and
evasions the final meaning of the
failed sacrifice, the private apoca-
lypse (the boy does not die; the
world is not made clean; only his
parents are rejoined more in wear
mess than effection over his bed)
is never made quite clear. only
the transcendence of that mean
ing, its more than natural charac-
ter. Turning the final pages of
Roth's book, one realizes suddenly
how in the time of the Great De-
preston all the more serious fic-
tionists yearned in secret to touch
religious note, toying with the
messianic and the apocalyptic but
refusing to call them by names
not honored in the left-wing jour-
mails of the time. The final hon.
esty of Roth's book lies in its re-
fusal to call by any fashionable
honorific name it's child hero's
bafflement as he learns the special
beauty of a world which remains
stubbornly unredeemed: "Not pain.
not terror, but strangest triumph.
strangest acquiescence. One might
as well call it Sleep"

Continued from Last ISsue)

And in Leo's house he finds new
images for the inner lights, but
purifying flame, in portrait OF
Jesus with the Burning Heart, and
box bearing the symbolic fish
the name GOD. For the rosary that
box contains, he agrees to intro
duce Leo to his sluttiSh cousin
Esther, whose grimy favors Leo
finally wins in the cellar beneath
her mothers candy store.
AS Leo and Esther squeal and
pant in the darkness of one cellar
shed, David crouches in another
trying to exact light from the holy
beads for which he has betrayed
his family, his Jewishness, his
very desire for cleanliness.
Past drifting bubbles of grey
and icy needles of grey, below
mousetrap, cogwheel, below
a step and a dwarf with sack
upon his back. sank the beads,
gold figure on cross swinging
slowly At the floor of the
vast pit of silence glimmered
like a coin.
Touch it Touch it! Drop!!
But the light eludes his efforts;
and the other two, who have per-
formed the act of darkness at the
very moment he sought the light,
emerge blaming each other as they
are discovered by Esther's sister.
"Tell 'er wut I wuz doin', kid"
Leo busters. "Yuh jew hewhs! We
wuz hidin' de balonee - Yaa!
Sheenee!"
After such a denouement, moth
ing is possible for David but a
plunge into hysteria, a hysteria
which overcomes him as he is re-
treading the passage about the
calling of Isaiah, betrays him into
telling to his rebbe a story COM
pounded half of his fathers delu-
sions, dimly perceived, and half
of certain "reminiscences of his
mother, ill understood: his mother
is not his real mother, he is a
bastard, son of a goyish organist
in an old country church, etc., etc.
This fantasy the rebbe hastens to
carry to David's home, arriving a
moment before the Mortified par
ents of Esther appear with their
own scandal. And Davis, over
whelmed by guilt and fear, offers
to his father whip, grovels at
his feet, the rosary falling from
his pocket as if to testify to the
truth of his LEGITIMACY, his con-
taminated blood. At this point, he
must run for his life, his fathers
long rage at least fulfilled, pre-
