Porkinsonism inherited
As Dominant Trait

Evidence that parkinsonism, a
nervous disorder, can be inherited
as dominant trait was reported
recently in the current (Feb. 81
Journal of the American Medical
Association.
Dr. George G. Spellman, Sioux
City, Iowa, said the occurrence of
the disease in SO year old woman
had been traced to her great-grand-
/ father.
The great-grandfather had eight
children, three of whom definitely
had the disease. One of the three
was the patients grandmother who
had four children, three of whom
developed the disease. including
the patientss mother. The patient
was the first of mime children to
develop parkinsOnism Later a
younger brother was stricken.
The incidence of parkinsonism
in this family is so high that it
suggests a dominant characteristic
i.e., one that can be handed down
by gene from only one parent,
DR.. Spellman said

that the disease could be Inherit
ed as a recessive trait, lie, a dis
ease carrying gene had to be inher-
tied from both parents in order
for the disease to occur in their

investigator has produced eviden-
ce indicating that the trait behav-
ed as dominant characteristic, he
said.
Parkinsonism typically is a dis
ease of the middle or late years.
The primary symptoms are tremor
and stiffening of the muscles.
The cause of the disease has not
been established However, here
dity has been considered one of
the factors involed, DR.. Spellman
said, and the appearance of the
disease in families has been es-

There are two main forms-104(
and 1O40A-for filling out your
1861 income tax return. For n
1O4OA, the simpler, is puncI
card.
The Internal Revenue Service
QRS), trying to simplify, h s
eliminated last years form 1040W
land made some changes in form
104O.
Anyone can use 1910. You must
use it if you can't use 1040A.
Only those with under $4,000
income-and then only if they meet
certain requirements-can use the
1040A.
People with under $4,000 income
who do not itemize deductions
using 1040 or 1040A-can fin d
their tax without figuring it in
the tax table on page 10 of the IA
page instruction sheet which IRIS
sends taxpayers.
Those with $4,000 or more in
come must figure their own tax.
They will find the tax-rate sched-
ule which applies to them on page
of the same instruction sheet.
If you wish to itemize your de-
ductions-to claim more than the
standard ten per cent deduction
allowed everyone-you can't use
1040A.
If husband and wife file sep
and
ductions, both must itemize and
claim only what each can prove.
In this case neither can use the
1040A. Both must use 1040.
The under $4,000 people can
use 1040A if:
/. Their income consisted entire-s
ly of wages reported on with
holding statements or consisted en-
tirely of such wages and NOT more
than a total of 5000 income from
dividends, interest, or other wages
from which tax was NOT with
held.
2. They are willing to take the
standard ten per cent deduction
for personal expenses wi hou
itemizing.
Each taxpayer filing a return is
allowed to exclude from his re-
portable income the first $50 of
dividends he receives. He can do
this on 1040A by simply leaving
out $50 from the income he re-
ports.
So-called dividends from savings
and loan associations for savings
accounts are actually interest and
therefore are NOT considered divi-
dends and must be reported as in
terest.
If husband and wife hold stock
jointly and file joint return, they
can exclude the first 500 in in
come from their return. They can
do this on 1040A or 1910.
But if they hold stock separate
ly and file a joint return, then
each is entitled to exclude NO
more than the first $50 of divi-

which applies to you. So you have
NO figuring at all to do on this.
If you're one of the over-$5, 900
people who must figure his own
tax-but who isn't going to item
ize deductions-sim knock ten
per cent off your income, before
applying the tax, up to limit of
$1,000.
Example: your income was
$4,000. Knock $500 off it. Or, your
income was $4,000. Knock o f f
$1,000 In short, just take 10 per
cent off your income up to a limit
of $1,000 on $4,000 income.
But suppose your income was
$1,000 or more. You still can't
take off more than that limit of
$1,000. If your expenses were ac-
tually more than $1,000 you can
claim them in full but only if you

dend each receives. This can be
done on 1040A or 1910.
You cannot use 1040A if you
l. Have income other than that
described in No. l above.
2 Wish to file a return as head
of household or surviving spouse,
claim credit for retirement n
come, are delinquent in filing your
return, claim exclusion for sick
pay, or paid an estimated tax in
1861
Note this:
People who receive dividends
/ in addition to excluding the first
/ $50 of them from the income they
report-are also allowed what is
called dividend credit.
This means, after dropping out
the excludable part of your divi-
dends, you can deduct per cent
of the rest of the dividends you
received
There is NO place on 1O4OA for
doing this So, if you want to
claim a dividend credit, you'll
have to use 1910.
Here are the highlights about
1O4O
Anyone can use it, regardless of
the size or source Of his income
Those with under $4,000 income
can get their tax from sthe tax
table. Those with $4,000 or more
income figure their own tax.
This year the revised 1910 is in
several sections but most people
will need only the main part of it,
which is single sheet with ques-
tions on both sides.
You will need only this two-page
form if your income was entirely
from salary and wages. On this
you can take either the standard
10 per cent deduction or itemize
your deductions if they're greater.
You'll use 1040's schedule B also
if you had dividends or interest of
more than 5000 or if you had in
come from rents, royalties, pen
sions, annuitie es, partnerships,
estates, trusts, and SO on.
If you had income from a per-
sonally owned business or pro-
fession you will use 1O4O's sched-
ule c, in addition to the main, two
page form.
You will use the main, two-page
form 1040-plus schedule D-i
you had income from the sale or
exchange Of property.
Youll attach schedule F to
the main, tWO-page fOrm-if YOU
had income from farming.
A reminder about deductions:
Everyone filing a return is al
lowed a deduction of 10 per cent
for his personal expenses up to
a limit of without item
izing to prove he had them.
Anyone with deductions of more
than 10 per cent can claim them
in full but, to do so, he must item
iZe them
If you're one of the un d r
$4,000 people who can use the tax
-able, the 10 per cent deduction is
already allowed for in the tax

Divorces Long Distance
By RICHARD DAW

JUAREZ, Mex (AP) = Lawyer:
in this Mexican border town offel
divorces to fit the pocketbook.
They'll unite a bothersome mar
riage knot in a matter of a few
days, if the pocketbook is vel
padded: in a few weeks, if it's
more on the thin side
In either event, there'll be few
questions asked The pers n
whose marriage yoke has begun to

enough time in Mexico even to get
his shoes dusty, if he's in hurry.
Some folks don't bother to come
here at all, preferring to handle
the entire matter by mail.
Grinding out divorces-princi-
pally for United States residents 4
other foreigners-is a thriving, lu-
crative business which the Juarez
Bar Association estimates brings
in more than million dollars a
year.
About 10000 persons go their
separate ways each year with the
help of Juarez's lenient interpre-
tation of the none-too-strict MeXi-
can divorce laws.
The no-queStionS-aske pro

u. S. Takes First ~ Then Gives

People are not dumb. Given
the facts, the electorate inevi-
tably makes the right decision.
This Is true as it applies to is
sues as well as to candidates.
Those who govern us know
this. That is why there is con-
cealment in government. It is
the truth that will undo them.
It is why the enactments which
take liberty from us are offered
as gifts" or grants" or as
doing something for mi
nority-groups.
One of the few trmsms in gov
eminent is this: Government
can give you nothing m abso-
lutely nothing - it does not
first take from you.
Bear that thought in mind as
we look at the philosophy Of
those who rule us, those who
would "take" under the guise
of giving"

Labor leaders in Congress, in govern
ment, and just plain labor leaders are
vocal on the subject of labor In recent
years, governmental control Of bust
ness and management has occupied
much activity in Congress-. Despite the
regulations and harrassments economic
progress has been made through the eff
forts of business. More Americans are
stockholders in the free enterprise sys-
tenn today than at any time in the his
tory of the nation. The entire economy
depends upon capital to furnish the
plants, machines and materials by which
management with industrial knoWhow
is enabled to pay employees wages with
which to purchase the industrial and
agricultural output. Those millions of
Americans Stockholders should know
that dividends are limited, that taxes
often exceed dividends, that new capital
is needed to maintain economical opera
ton, which is required because of strong
competition.
America has become the worlds
greatest nation because of individual
initiative under a system of free enter
prise. Russia is experimenting with de-
velopment through government owner
ship, controlled labor, management and
agriculture. America will continue to
progress SO long as the principles Of
free enterprise remains. The principles
of living are learned early, and should
be included in this nations educational
program even though that program is
largely government influenced.
1t is time for the people of this great
nation to wake up and support the
principles of this republic.

the local educational agencies

tend school.
Y Here's what Rep. Delaney has
to say about his bill. which now
rests In the House committee on
Education and Labor:
1.-The parental right to choose
the education of his offspring Is
a natural, civil, and constitu-
tional right. protected by the
first, fifth, and ninth amend
ments to the U. S. Constitution
If we are to give aid only
10 children who attend public
schools, and exclude all others
who also contribute to the max
ing of our national life. we
shall be taking the first long
step in the direction of rigid
uniformity. which is the thing
we are striving to avoid
!, THE heart Of the issue is that
if we surrender freedom OF
choice in education, a totan-
tartan system of education will
become inevitable. Freedom and
coercion cannot live side by
side. We cannot preserve free
society by following totalitarian
Methods
Rep Delaney seems to think
that federal control of education
can be avoided under his bill by
a simple statement that there
shall be no direction, super
vision, or control of the schools
by the United States. That hope
seems bit optimistic. even
though there now are federally-
financed school programs, such
as those under the various
"G.I." bills, in which students
are free to invest their federal
funds in schools of their own
choice.
Rep. Delaney's devotion to
freedom of choice" should be
applauded. but his sought-after
freedom will diminish in direct
proportion to the dependence of
schools = public or private -
upon the federal purse.

AT the end of five years you'll find
the United Nations is the greatest vision
ever realized by man. At the end Of ten

''At the end of fifteen years, you'll

are against it's ultimate life and sue
cess. 1t will only be when the United
Nations is twenty years old that you
will revere and laud the dedication of
those who devoted their energies to it
through its turbulent course. For by
then, we will know that the United Ma
tions is the only alternative TO the de-
molition of the world
What will the next three years pro-
duce? If Ruml's prediction is to come
true the member nations must change
their present positions and pay their
own way. The United States should see
