WIZ Forms Must be
 Attached to Tax Returns

The W-2 withholding tax state ment is one of the most important documents of a federal income tax return, District Director Lewis J. Conrad of the Internal Rev. enue said.
 Since most taxpayers were subject to withholding during 1860, attachment of Form VIZ is obviously required to complete the return," MT. Conrad said.
 In a joint return, where both husband and wife worked, the W-2's for each must be attached, he said.
 When either or both parties to a return held more than one job during 1860, all W-2's must be attached, he added.
 Refunds cannot be paid with out required W-2's, credit cannot be given for taxes withheld, and failure to include the statement will mean return of the incom- plete form to the taxpayer, with the possibility of consequent late filing and interest or other charges being added" MT. Con- rad said.

French Village Adopts American Servicenan

POINT L'EVEQUE, France R- This little Normandy town has adopted an American CT and has appealed to President Kennedy to let him stay in France to complete his education.
 The CT, incidentally, happens to be a mainstay on the local basketball team. He is SPA John H. Givens, 24, of Milwaukee, Wis.
 Givens, stationed with the Army Aerial Support Center at nearby St. Andre, warmed up to his French surroundings almost from the moment he arrived in De- cember 1859. It was through his basketball skill that he became acquainted in Pont L'Eveque.
 Givens had played on YMCA and high school basketball teams in Milwaukee and found spot as a forward on the local Army squad. He soon was hopping bas- kets in Pont L'Eveque and in early 1860 got taken on as center or forward.
 Local families set aside room for him on game nights and he eats at the family table. His French developed to the point where conversation flows easily.
 Everything was going well un- til Givens announced he was booked to return to the States next June. The local citizentry, unknown to Givens, got together and Bernard Chauviere, president of the Pont L'Eveque Sports Union, drafted a letter to Presi- dent and Mrs. Kennedy.
 "Mr. Givens epitomizes the friendship of France and the United States" Chauviere wrote, and then he added two requests:
 l. That Givens be given grant so he can study at the nearby Uni versity of Caen after he com pletes his military service in France.
 2. That Mrs. Kennedy become the sponsor of the Pont L'Eveque basketball team.
 The letter was sent to the American Embassy in Paris and was forwarded to the State De- partment for the White House.
 "This all came as big surprise to me-" Givens told a reporter. "I don't know what to say"

David Finley Says
Five Million Persons to Live
In Our Area in the Year 1000

must come first from the citizens and
all state, county and town governments
involved. He cited the costs involved
for land, transportation and services for
the plan which must be borne by today's
taxpayer. Also the problems inherent
in working with the Congressionally run
District government were mentioned by
Mr.. Gingery. He advocated planning
from the "inside out" 80 1--WE must have
the people before we develop facilities"
he said
The League of Women Voters meet
ing was the first formal gathering in the
region to discuss the plan. Seven thou
sand copies of the plan will be distrib-
uted to interested citizens groups and
school libraries in the near future.
Mr.. Finley estimated that five mil
lion persons will live in the 200 square
miles of the capital region in the year
2OOO There is now no regional con-
census on plan for the area Mr.. Finley
urged prompt start on planning.
The plan recommends open country
side which would be valuable for farms,
hunting, wild life and parks.
In between, corridors would be de-
veloped including relatively concentrated
centers of population connected to the
heart of the capital by rapid transit
system and planned freeway system.
Included in the plan is continued rede-
velopment of Washington itself.
Mr.. Finley said the future depends
on the design of the region and the pat
tern of growth that will offer the most
to future generations. He believes good
design will reduce the cost to local gov
eminent Of traffic, parks and public
utilities.
