using the correct tax rate and understanding the exemptions allowed. This article, third of a series, tells how the rules diff fer for different groups of tax payers.
 By James. Marlow
 WASHINGTON R - Save money on your 1862 income tax return by picking the right tax rate and understanding husband wife filing problems and exemp- tions.
 Each exemption means $500 knocked off your income before what's left is taxable.
 For those figuring their own tax there are three different tax rates in separate schedules on page g of the 14-page instruction sheet provided by the Internal Revenue Service 0RS).
 The rates differ because the rules differ for different groups of taxpayers. The three schedules are: No. 1, highest rate; No. 3, lower; No. 2, lowest.
 No. l. For single persons and married couples filing separately. This is why married couples should think twice before filing separate ly.
 No. 2. For married people filing jointly and certain widows and widowerS. Remember: Both hus- band and wife must sign a joint return to have it considered joint.
 No. 3. For unmarried or legally separated taxpayers who can quail fly as 'theads of household" More in detail on that later.
 Anyone filing a return gets a $500 exemption for himself, $1,2OO if he's over 65, and $500 more if he's blind at any age.
 He gets the same exemption for his wife if she fits the rules. Here are the rules:
 A wife doesn't have to file return if she had no 1862 income. You can file your own, claiming a $500 exemption for yourself, an- other $500 for her. But, because you alone filed, you'd have to use schedule No. 1, the highest rate.
 That's losing money because wife without income can file jointly with you. You'd still take the two $500 exemptions but would use schedule No. with the lowest tax rate. Most married people do this.
 Some Special Exceptions
 There are some special excep- tions where a husband and wife come out ahead filing separately. Work it out both ways if you have doubts.
 A wife with income under $500 doesn't have to file a return be- cause less than that amount does not have to be reported.
 But, because she had any income at all, you can't claim the $500 ex- emption for her unless she files jointly with you on schedule No. 2. In such a case, if you alone filed, you'd have to use schedule No. 1.
 If she had income and files joint ly with you, she must report that income, no matter how small, on your joint return.
 Suppose your wife had income of $500 or more. Then she must, like anyone else with that much income file return, either sepa- rately or jointly with you. If she files separately, she uses schedule No. l, claiming her own $500 ex- emption. You then would also have to use No. 1, filing separately and claiming your $500 exemption.
 If you file jointly, you use tax
The Nome nugget., 1963-02-06
Your Income Tax; How to Save Money

rate schedule No. 2, claiming your two $500 exemptions on that one return.
 Couples filing separately must either take the standard 10 per cent deduction allowed all taxpayers for expenses or, if one itemizes, then both must itemize. When they itemize, as pointed out earlier in this series, they must use form 1O40.
 Although single person or a couple filing jointly can take the standard deduction of 10 per cent of their income-up to maximum deduction of ,OOO-without item izing, married couple filing sepa- rately can each take the standard 10 per cent deduction only up to a limit of $500.
 Cannot Claim Divorced Mate
 You were considered married for all of 1862 if you were married anytime in the year, even as late as Dec. 31. You were considered divorced for the whole year if you were divorced as late as Dec. 31. You cannot claim an exemption for your divorced wife even though you paid more than half her SUD- port in 1862.
 If a married couple filed sepa- rate returns in 1861 and 1860, or in both years, and now realize it cost them more than if they had filed jointly, they can correct the mistake by now filing joint re- turn for those years.
 Rules on head-of-household:
 This is a special category giving tax break to some people with certain responsibilities and ex- penses. If you fill the requirements, you can use schedule No. 3, which is a lower tax rate than No. although higher than No. 2.
 These are the requirements:
 You were married or legally se- parated at the end of 1862 or were married by the end of 1862 to someone who for part of the year was a nonresident alien; you must have furnished over half the cost of maintaining your home which was the main residence of yourself and your unmarried child, stepchild or grandchild, even though not a dependent of yours, or any other relative you can claim as dependent; or if you paid more than half the cost of main taining home for your mother or father, if either can qualify as your 
 You cannot claim you maintain ed a home for a parent if you were paying for him or her in home for the aged.
 Rules on Widows and Widowers
 Here are rules on widows and widowers who, instead of having to :. file as single persons using sched- ule No. l, can save money by using No. with it's lower tax rate:
 If your wife, or husband, died in 1862 and you did not remarry you can claim a $500 exemption for your deceased spouse on a joint return, using schedule No. 2. In that return you must report any income she had.
 You can also use schedule No. 2 for your 1862 return-if your wife, or husband, died in 1861 or 1960- so long as you meet these five conditions:
 You must have been entitled in 1861 or 1860 to file a joint return with her in the year of her death; you have child or stepchild who qualities as your dependent; and you furnish over half the cost of

Most of those opposing Mr..
Rifai spoke in favor of Jor-

King HuSsein named Mr..
Rifai's government less than a
month ago in a move seen as
making Jordan more favorably

But speaker after speaker de-
clared Mr.. Rifai's government

Troops ringed the parlia-
ment building during the de-
bate. The government had
called out desert troops and
police earlier in the day and
ordered an emergency curfew
in Jerusalem to quell the pro-
Nasser demonstrations.
Mr.. Rifai told parliament
Israel was massing troops at

fears that Israel might try to
take advantage Of any revolt
inside Jordan. However, an
Israeli spokesman called the
reports of Israeli troops massing

there are numerous obstacles

is also the long standing enmity
