(Editor's Note: Federal income, tax returns are due in 10 days, in Making them out, taxpayers are discovering that in the last 18 months congress enacted not one, but two, increases in individual income tax rates. This dispatch explains how-dt happened.) - Washington, Mar. 5 — (UP) — Complaints are rolling in to the treasury and members of congress from stunned income taxpayers s. niggling with wlfht they regard , as hidden gouges in the 1951 tax . law. Returns must be filed by March 15. Looking at the big increase in their taxes, they figure there has been a mistake somewhere or that congress, and the administration slipped something over on them when they weren’t looking. - ' _ What many are just now finding ent is that in the last, 18 months congress enacted not one, but two individuaf income tax increases. These were; 1. Tax increase of Oct. L 1950 —this ranged, on an annual basis, from 20.5 percent in the lowest income tax bracket to 11.5 percent in the highest. 2. Tax increase of Nov. 1, 1951 — thing ranged, on an annual basis from 11 percent to 12 percent for Most taxpayers—On top of the first increase. .' I \ ' Taken together, the two increases result in the following cumulative total percentage hikes in taxes as compared with preKorean taxes for some sample incomes (married couples with two 5 dependents): 7 »

1,363 Slot Machines Are Seized By FBI 36 Cities Raided In Four States Washington, Mar. 5 — (UP) — FBI director J. Edgar Hoover announced today that FBI agents have 1,363 slot machines in raids ;jin 36 Wities in Illinois, Ohio, Pennjylavania and South Carolina. It ijvas the second/ raid against illegal gambling machines this vveeki Earlier, machines were seized in Tennessee. Hoover said that in (he South Carolina raids agents arrested Laytdn Molcpmbe. 45, of the HolAmuslement Co., Sumter, S. C., aijd Will am Clifford Ellis, 39, of thie Ellis Amusement Co., Co.umbiH, S. C. A indicated there would be further arrests. of the machines —1.159 — were;seized in Illinois. Raids were conducted at Peoria, Clock' Island, East Ist: Louis, and 15 other Illinois titles. The largest seizure in that Estate was in East St. Louis where 646 machines were confiscated. _ Thirty-thre were confiscated in eastern' Pennsylvania. „ They raised to 375 the number seized in Pennsylvania since the law prohibiting ‘ interstate transportation slot machines and requiring registration of dealers became effective Jan; 2. 1951. Nationwide, since the law became effective, the FBI has made slot machine raids in 35* states and the District of Columbia, seized -I-’,729 machines valued at $3,494jt 5S and arrested 202 persons. A new type of machine, known as the “play-write,” was among those seized today, Hobver said. After the player deposits a coin. Hoover £aid, he writes down a nunijber from one to 1,000 at the top of the piachine nad spins a, reel If the indicator stops on the specified number, a payoff ismade. ‘ ' , . ; ' •’ 1 \ ers who are not fully covered by the | withholding' systeni, do not have to be precise, and indeed in mariy cases could not be precise. So it is only in their final returrs for 1951 that these taxpay, ers cbme up against thp full shock of the first tax increase that was eua’ted in October. 1950 —to saj nothing of part of tlie second increase. i To get the complete picture of whi t has been happening to your tax SB. you have 40 go back to 1945. Congress that year gave all taxpayers a five percent cut from the wartime peak. In 1948, ( the Repub-lican-controlled 80th congress cut again. This cut was made on a sliding scale. - A.s a result of the two reductions, a man whose annual ta|x llufcility was less than S4OO got a 17 percent reduction in 1948. The mail whose liability was between S4O ) and SIOO,OOO got a 17 percent red iction on the first S4OO, plus 12 percent on the amount between S4O) and $100,000: and the man whose liability was more than $10).000 got a reduction' of 9.75 percent on that part of his taxable income in excess of SIOO,OOO. In making those cuts, in other words, congress left the wartime . tax rfates in effect while reducing the amount of tax actually payFjbiu. You first figured what the thx forms called your “tentative”, tax Then you took off a certain percent. That was the result of the tax cuts of 1945 and 1948. Then came June, 1950, the Korean war, and rearmament. Fresident Truman asked for higher taxps. b —~—~- , Special resin glues stick to wood more tightly than wood fibers stick to each other.
