"A combination of seemingly unrelated
events, plus muShrooming population,
has showed the home building industry into
the forefront of the political social and
physical facets of our lives.
Old or young, we are confronted with
the problem of where to live and what can
be done about it. The answer seems to
hinge on one question. What are we going
to do about roads and mass transportation?
The geographical boundaries of the
District of Columbia are hard and fast.
There are limitations to the number Of
persons that can be crowded into it. This
obviously means more apartments to take
advantage of the land available.
But what about suburbs?
Already builders are complaining that
the slow up in the home building industry
is'being caused by prices. This cost is not
reflected in the value of the house you buy.
You are actually getting a better home for
your money.
What is increasing home costs is not
materials or labor as much as the cost of
land to the builder.
To overcome this problem builders
must go out to where land is not sold by
the square foot but by the acre. This, in
turn, raises the problem of communication
to the city where most of us are employed.
How do we overcome these great dis
tances with minimum of effort and time?
The Mass Transportation Study is one an
swer. Long range plans by experts in the
counties surrounding Washington is an

will be solved When they are there will still
remain the problem Of how to get into town
without spending the better part Of our
lives doing it.
What is being planned to overcome the
situation is series of super highways lead
ing out of the city like spokes from wheel.
Along these highways satellite communities
will be built up.
While, at present this may seem far
fetched, start has been made Mass
transportation will necessarily follow the
established lines because without customers
such a facility can not exist, even If sub
sidized by the Government.
Super highways have sprung up in the
last few years that are debating where you
and will live. Among these are Route so
and 66 In Virginia and the new Route 70-S
in Maryland that serves upper Montgomery
County.

Supporting Parents

curity payments are based en-
tirely on your fathers past
work. And your mother isn't old
enough to raise your fathers
payment. The Treasury says
that in this case the social
security is support for your ia
ther, unless it can be shown the
money was not spent for his
support.
Ruling is Cited
For instance, suppose your
father and mother have no
income other than $720 a year
from social security entirely at
Itributable to him. You also con-
tribute $3.50 to their support;
so their total support is $1,570,
of which half - $785 = is
considered to be spent for each.
The Treasury says your fathers
social security covered $720 of
his $785, so you contributed
only sos to him or less than
half Of his $785 and you there
fore can take only your mother
as a dependent.
This year the Tax Court ruled
the Treasury is wrong. It said
that If the $3.50 is to be d.
vided equally between your par
ents, or $785 for each, then your
$3.50 contribution also should
be divided equally between
them, or $425 for each, and
therefore, since you have CIV
en- more than half of the $785
support for each, you can claim
both as dependents.
You now have your precedent
for claiming both your parents
as dependents and achieving
significant tax savings, al
though you'll probably have to
fight the Treasury on this.

ing the tax-savings value o.

If they have medical expenses
Here is an important year-enC
medical expense guideline.
You can deduct every dollar
Of medical expense for a par
ent IS or over from your in.
come tax as long as you con.
tribute more than half of YOU
parents support during the
year. This holds even If your
parent doesn't qualify as a de-
pendent because he or she has
$500 or more of gross income
for the year.
Instead Of giving your parent
cash to pay medical expenses
pay his or her medical bills
directly so you can deduct this
contribution.
Illustration Offered
To illustrate, say your 65-
year-old father has had 500
of dividend and interest in
come this year and he needs
81 900 for dental work in COM
ing weeks for which you expect
to give him the money. If you
give him the cash, you will get
no deduction at all, and he will
have a medical expense deduc-
ton that won't save any taxes
for him either. But If, instead,
YOU pay the $1,000 directly to
the dentist for your fathers
dental work, you still will be
contributing more than h alf
your fathers total support of
$1,700 for the year and you'll
be entitled to deduct the total
81 900 as a medical expense on
your own return.
If your own adjusted gross
income this year is $4,000, you
normally would have to waste
up to 3 per cent of that, or
$500 of your own medical ex-
penses, before you could deduct
a single penny. But you don't
waste a cent of what you pay
for your father, because the 8
per cent rule doesn't apply to
medical expenses paid for him.
However, the rule on drugs and
medicines - that the cost of
them can be included in med
ical expenses only above / per
cent of adjusted gross income
= does apply to him. So any
drugs or medicines you buy for
him are a deduction on your
return only to the extent that
the costs top per cent of your
adjusted gross income.
If you are claiming a depend
ency deduction for your parents
who are receiving social Securi-
ty, check this rule so you don't
get fouled up on your deduc-
tons for 1862.
You must contribute more
than half the total support dur
ing the year for each parent
you claim as a dependent. While
the social security payments
your parents receive are not
taxable income to them, they
do count as part of the total
support.

Population inequalities In dis

to the problem Of gerrymander-
ing-the creation Of strangely
shaped districts for the political
advantage Of the party in
power.
Thus States like New York
and California did not create

to qualify for the 20 largest or
smallest, even though gerry
Wandering was freely resorted
to in the redistricting bills they
