Many State, local and for
eign taxes which we have beer
accustomed to deducting on in
come tax returns as itemizeo
expenses will no longer be de-
ductible beginning in 1864. II
the House-passed tax bill be-
comes law.
This list of nondeductible
taxes would include:
State gasoline taxes; State or
local cigarette taxes; State or
local alcoholic beverage taxes;
motor vehicle license plates;
drivers license fees; poll taxes;
admission taxes; occupancy
oaxes; transer taxes.
You still could continue to
take itemized personal deduc-
lions for sales taxes, real prop
erty taxes. State and local in
come taxes and personal prop
'erty taxes. But the bill would
bar deductions for foreign sales
or foreign personal property
taxes starting next year.
Also any of the taxes which
would be eliminated as your
personal deductions next year
under the bill still would be
deductible taxes if paid in con-
nection with your business OPP
Grafton or the production Of
income.
What might you do in ad-
vance of 1864 to limit the i'm
pact of these changes on your
income tax? Since the taxes
listed above may become nom
deductible as personal expenses
next year, you might put in a
supply of cigarettes and bever-
ages this year while the taxes
are still deductible.
Or if you are planning to
buy license plates or expecting
to get a drivers license in the
next few months, you might
time your moves so that you'll
get the deductions in 1868. If
you wait until 1864, these items
are likely to become monde
Under the 1868 tax bill item
lied personal deductions for
casualty losses would be hit too.
The caSulty loss deduction
would not be knocked out en-
tirely as the taxes listed above
would be. But the casualty loss
deduction would be restricted
by allowing the loss for each
casualty to be deductible only
to the extent that it exceeds
500 for that casulty. In brief,
the bill would require you TO
waste the first 500 of each
as a tax deduction.

her new post September 10, 1868,
will succeed E. r. Benke, veteran
career VA employee who is retir-
ing after nearly As years of Fed
eral service.
Miss Starbuck was selected as
best qualified for the new post.
The appointment also is in keep
ing with the Presidents directive
that women be given equal oppor-
tunity in employment. The di-
receive was aimed at breaking
down the sex barrier that for
years saw capable and expert
enced women passed over for
higher grades,
For the past year she has been
assistant manager of the VA Re
gional Office at Baltimore, Md,
But for 16 years preceding this
she has established a record of
accomplishment and promotion in
the Veterans Administration that
many men would envy.
Born in Denver, she attended
Loretto Heights College in the
Denver suburbs and received a
BA degree in 1910. She took
some postgraduate work at Den
yer University and taught school
at Holly, Colo, before entering
the military service in 1912.
Miss Starbuck served four
years with the Womens Army
Corps, leaving the service in
1916 with the rank of captain.
She came with the Veterans
Administration as an adjustment
clerk in the Chicago Branch
Office in June, 1916, and in Janu-

Hints From HeIoise .
Look For Freshness
When Buying YuIe Tree

1t, remember those trees have
been cut weeks before) a d
take your garden hose a n d
sprinkle the branches to water
them down. The tree may either
be propped up against the side
of the house, against a fence
or clothes line for this purpose.
Leave it outside overnight to
drain and absorb the moisture
|. from the hosing you gave
it, and the dew that will fall
during the night. This will fur
Their rejuvenate the little bristles
or needles.
Now comes the time to put
the tree in its stand. We learn
ed a good lesson a few years
ago. Take your tree stand along
with you when you buy your tree!
Ever get home and the trunk
of the tree wouldn't fit your
container? Oops.
Most Christmas tree statesmen
will put a tree in your container
or at least make sure it fits
the one you bring for free! And
If they won't. drive another
few blocks and find a sweet,
friendly salesman.
Caution: Before applying last
years Christmas tree Ii ght s,
Tor even this years, for that
matter) Test 'em!
We don't want to start a fire,
II suggest you find one good
string Of lights, lay them out
on the floor, screw all the good
bulbs in and then wiggle the
wires a few times and see if
any light goes out or you have
a short. If you find one, dis
card it. Might just save a life.
Hundreds Of homes burn each
year from Christmas tree faul-
ty wiring.
Caution Number Two: If you
use any synthetic sprays. . i
find it best to spray the trees
first before putting on any
decorations. When doing this be
sure to put newspapers or soiled
sheets over all your Grapes, cof-
fee tables, venetian blinds Gall
you have to do is fold a piece
of newspaper and hang it
through a Slat on your blind
your rug, the end Of the sofa,
etc. -.
Far better to pick up a few
papers after the tree is decorat-
ed than to spend hours after
wards cleaning up snow, needl-
es from the tree, and dust on
your precious furniture later.

Dear Readers:

OCdl IbOQ0CAOs
Now is the time To get
the Christmas spirit because
"It" will soon be here. A n d
though we know it rolls around
every year, it always sneaks up
on us sooner than we expect.
So. . let's 60 buy a Christ
mas tree.
Here are some hints to re-
member this year before max
ing that purchase (tried a n d
true for q years by Heloise and
family. . }
First and foremost, look for
a fresh tree. If the branches
are dead looking, don't buy it.
This can be tested by running
your hand up and down a
branch and if the briStles fall
off. . lookk out! IT'S old. After
off look out! IT'S old. After
to last during the holiday, eh?
Besides it could be a fire ha-
Zard.
When the family goes to pick
out the tree look for a full one.
Perfect trees cost more than
imperfect ones. But, remem-
money for a perfect tree,
Der, before you spend extra
only one side shows when it
sets against the wall or in a
corner:
The money we save may be
used to buy more Christmas
decoration which can be
used year after year.
Too, some people (know who
that iS?) buy these "odd" mex
penSive trees which are mis-
shapen. . .purpoSely. | think
they are lovely and dignified.
These vacant places in the
tree may be "filled-up'' by US
ing a piece of ordinary green
or black sewing thread from
u to 20 inches long and thread
ing it through the eye on your
decoration, tying a knot, a n d
hung from the branch above.
These hanging decorations not
only fill up that empty space
but ''lend to" what decorators
call "the professional touch!"
The ball or decoration will
hang from six to 10 inches from
the branch above the hollow
space and is really ''quite diff
ferent." We have used S
method each year since we lived
in China.
It's another good idea (Which
| learned in the Orient, too) to
put your tree in a pot of water
as soon as you arrive home with

From the start the liberals
who favor a new rule have hao
little chance Of getting a de-
cision on the merits of their
chief proposal to reduce from
two thirds to three-fifths the
number of votes required to
break a filibuster.
The reason is that the con-
servative supporters of the
present rule, led by Southern
Democrats, have blocked action
on the preliminary motion tc
take up the new rule.
II a test vote comes in the
next few days, therefore, it will,

Remedy in Constitution?
Under existing rules the only
way the liberals could force a
vote on the merits of their new
rule would be to wear down the
opposition with around-the-
clock sessions or to line up the
two-thirds required now to shut
off debate. Senate leaders have
made it plain they will not go
in for night sessions, and it is
reasonably certain the liberals
could not muster two-thirds to
end the debate.
But they believe the Consti-
tuition gives them remedy.

Both sides in the fight, which
has dragged on since the

about when the showdown

They argue that the clause ir
the Constitution empowering
each house to be the judge Of
its own rules gives a majority
of the Senate the right tc
close debate for the purpose OF
adopting new rules at the be-
ginning of a Congress. The
test vote may come on this
unusual proposition.
There was some confusion at
the Capitol yesterday over
whether such a motion will be
made. Senate Republican Lead
er Dirksen told a press con-
ference he had been informed
by a good authority" that the
motion to test this constitu-
tional issue would not be Of

to table cuts off all debate.
The liberals are confident
they would have a majority

all indications are that the

mentary maneuvers, like the
