Many Fail To File Proper Tax Forms Revenue Service Completes Study WASHINGTON (UP) — The internal revenue service disclosed today that it is trying to figure out why so many Americans just won't fill out their income tax forms properly. The service, feeling that it may be at fault, plans to take a good long look at the instructions and Conns it sends out every year. It hopes to eliminate at least some of the errors of commission and omission turned up in a study of 1954 income tax returns. The study, just completed, was the first ever made of the subject. It only took in those who used 1040, tile longer, more complete form. Os the 44,000.000 filing form 1040. the study showed, about 6.600,000 did not- enter their social security number and about 7,500,000 left out their occupation. Among other lapses was the failure of about 1,300,000 taxpayers to list themselves as an exemption. Another 14,900,000 left off the name of his or her spouse. About ’,1.000.000. if they bothered to figure it out at all, didn't fill in the amount of tax due. But only about 15,800.000 left out the amount of the refund they computed. Nearly 41,000,000 failed to put down the office where they filed their return the year before. Some 12.400.800 admitted having paid someone to help fill out their return but about 4,500.000 of these neglected "to have that person or fiym sign the return as required. At the bottom of the first page of the form the taxpayer is asked if his wife, or husband, is filing a separate return. A "yes" or "no" box is provided. More than 41,060.000 ignored it altogether. On page 3 of tlje return some 27,600.06’0 taxpayers claimed deductionsf "such as contributions, taxes. Jnferest payments, medical expenses and contributions. But they did not itemize them as reqnired. *”'»t Officials say a little more care by taxpayers would save the government and ultimately the taxpayer himself—"millions of' dolbirs” in eorvcctiug these errors and uuiissious.

Ike Starts On Third Week In Army Hospital No Statement From Eisenhower Yet On Political Intention WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower today began his third week In the hospital in "good spirits'' and hopeful he wil ho gble to leave in another week.
