Federal Income Tax Guide Now Available 16 Additional Pages In New 1958 Edition Sixteen more pages have been added to the new 1958 edition of “Your Federal Income Tax’’ and 166 new problems are discussed and answered in the publication, district director Sterling M. Dietrich of the internal revenue service said today in announcing availability of the guide at the district revenue office in Indianapolis and other offices throughout the state of Indiana. The new edition contains 128 pages and includes 43 chapter-sub-ject headings. It answers questions and solves problems, Dietrich said, for those taxpayers for whom the instruction booklet which accompanied their form 1040 does not provide full information. There are numerous illustrations and examples of how entries, and computations should ba made, the page size of the guide being the same as that of the form 1040. Taxpayers will find it easy to use the guide, Dietrich pointed out, and many will be able to answer not only one, but several questions which may arise in the preparation of a return where other than normal income and expenses are involved. Among the more important chapter headings are these: Which tax form to use, joint and separate returns, surviving, spouse, head of a household, dependents, sick pay, employees’ expenses, casualty losses, credit for dividend income, credit for retirement income, capital gains and losses, tax-free sales of a home, contribution, medical expenses, deductions for child care, and many others. This tax. guidd, intended for individual and family use, is priced at 35 cents per copy. Last year more than half a million copies were sold and officials of the revenue service expect even greater public acceptance of this year’s edition, Dietrich said. - i Operation Deepfreeze, the Un*> ed States Navy’s Antarctic expedition, bedded down for the long winter at Little America, savs in a radio message, “We are having regular Sunday Scripture and hymn services followed by open discussion on selected topics.”

CHAPTER 27 ON AN AFTERNOON of bright sunshine, Andrew Garvin sat on a stool placed tn a niche on a hillside with a breathtaking view of the sea. He took a long look at the scene, photographing it mentally, then added a series of ' bold strokes to the canvas set on an easel before him. Os late his technique had become less meticulous, more spare and ruthless; it had also become stronger. Ele was using color more challengingly. Those who had not liked his work in the past would -lilte his present work less: but thotss who had seen promise before might now see fulfillment. In the fervor of creation he forgot the hurts and loneliness that had become his lot Whether he was nappy or miserable seemed utterly unimportant compared with the tremendous factor of self-expression. They could do with him as they chose; slight him, spurn him, drive him out and none of it would matter as long as tie could paint He thought of Van Gogh, accepting confinement in the madhouse, living only for the pictures he produced between attacks of frenzy. The j frenzies and the fears were nothing; the exultation of creatidh'was alh Deborah saw Andrew when she came over the brow of the hill, having plodded through fields with a small wicker basket So deep in concentration was he that she felt qualms about disturbing him. It seemed unfair to intrude when he so obviously wanted, and needed, to be alone. After all, but for that garrulous woman in the case the other morning, she would not have known where to find him. Her jaw tightened. She would .not turn back now. She was going to have matters out with him, once and for all. Thiat was the decision she had reached after lying awake half the night, thinking, conjecturing, and no qualms were going to make her change her mind. It was unfair that she should take the risks and bear the burden of exonerating him when he did nothing on his own behalf. He had warned her of the dangers and urged her not to meddle, but he ought to realize that when you have a tiger by the tafl you cannot let go. j It surprised her to sum up all she had learned. The pieces were all there. It only remained for a hand to reach out for the odd piece which, set in place, would j reveal the murderer. Andrew's

Property Taxes To Set A Record High Only On,e County In State Lowers Rates INDIANAPOLIS W — The Indiana Taxpayers Association has announced that property taxes in Hoosierland next year will hit an all-time record high of nearly 400 million dollars. Only one of Indiana’s 92 counties —Pulaski—will have a lower rate than this year. Pulaski’s tax bill was chopped from $1,097,866 to $1,086,600 for 1958. Total property taxes in Indiana will hit more than 397 million dollars. an increase of more than 36.8 millions over this year. But take heart, said association executive secretary Walter T. Horn. It might have been worse. He said public officials sought to spend more than 420.5 millions in governmental operations next year. At the same time, the $lO property rate per SIOO valuation has

hand, not ners. it was ume tor him to take over. Deborah was prepared for him to look unwelcoming at first sight of her. She was agreeably surprised to see his face lightening spontaneously. Andrew rose, stretched himself jMUncttvelj tq relieve cramped muscles, and came to help her with the basket. He did not ask how she had found him. All week he had been plagued by sight-sieers and picnickers, and they would spread word of his whereabouts all over town. "Food in the basket ?" he asked. "A cold chicken, rolls, and a bottle of wine.” "Let's start on it now," he said. Ttn ravenous." "I Was in two minds about disturbing you,” Deborah said. "That’s all right. I’ve done all 1 can. I don’t mean that it’s finished. I’ve reached a point where 1 must wait for fresh insight. No, don’t look. It hasn’t anything to say yet” He spread his raincoat to be sat on and they lunched together, enjoying the food, the sunshine and the view in a carefree insistence on the moment that thrust past and future alike into nothingness. They could have d>een any two people picnicking on a hillside. Instead of the serious discussion she had intended he made her tell him all about herself. She found, to her delight, that he was one of the rare people she could talk to and know her work and aspirations to bd understood. There were so many inevitable gaps and reticences, things that could only be left unsaid, and it took a sympathetic, comprehending listener to fill them in. Tell most people that you were on the stage and they wanted to know what glamorous stars you had met; but It was the technique of acting, the creative process, that interested Andrew Garvin as it interested her. Only too well he understood her doubts and misgivings over her owri ability; weren’t those hesitations and feelings of uncertainty his own as well? And the glorious uplift of knowing that you were doing well what you had been born to do; he had felt that also. "I must paint you," he told her. “Not now. When_J know you better. When I can see you as clearly in my mind when you are absent as I see you with my eyes when you are there, then I’ll be able to do you justice.” He was examining her with the eyes of a painter. The eyes that see the bones and sinews under the flesh. Her slim body was

become a reality. Dyer in Lake County will have a rate of $10.42. New Chicago, also in Lake County, faces a rate of $10.26, and Gary's rate of $9.86 will be the heaviest tax burdeh of any Hoosier city. Lawrenceburg Twp. in Dearborn County has the lowest rate in the state—sl.26. Horn said the average increase in property taxes for the entire state is more than 10 per cent. Exceptions, “with sharp in* creases,” include Posey County, up 39 per cent; Warren, up 27.5, per cent, and Clinton, up 27 per cent. Decatur Man Fined On Traffic Charge Franklin R. Lybarger. 38, Decatur was fined $1 and costs in justice of the peace court Monday on a charge of failure to yield the right of way. Lybarger was arrested following an accident last Saturday in which Mrs. William Shoaf, 18, route 4, was injured. Lybarger collided with the Shoaf vehicle as he was pulling out of a filling station onto the highway.

Beautifully formed, mere were lines and curves so perfect that he doubted his ability to impress them on canvas. Hr- face was interesting, attractive tn an inftnse fashion, rather than beautiful: her hair and skin were ex- - ... "It’s not only because you’re lovely that 1 want to paint you. It’s rather more than that. There’s an indefinable quality about you that intrigues me.” He was still studying her. “Your nose is too long .... did you know?” •1 know my face isn’t large enough. Stage stars always have large faces." “It's a sweet face," said Andrew Garvin, “even if the proportions aren't quite right." Bending forward, he kissed her. The touch of his lips sent a vibrant tingling through her. She wanted the moment to go on and on. It was of a sweetness such as she had never known. Andrew drew back and she saw his face becoming withdrawn and haunted once more. They had been two ordinary people enjoying a carefree afternoon; but that was only make-believe. He was remembering the curse that was on him, setting him apart from other men. She wanted .him to kiss her again. She wanted to know whether the second kiss would affect her as much, or less, or more. Suddenly he scrambled up and was staring eastward, toward ths summit of a neighboring hill. Before she could collect herself, he started running in that direction over the uneven ground. Looking after him in bewilderment, Deborah saw Inspector Gray perched high up on the adjacent hilt Perhaps he was spying on them. Deborah could sympathize with Andrew’s sudden anger. On a day like this, In a spot like this, it wai intolerable to be watched liks something under a microscope. Andrew was now only a few yards from the police inspector. She heard him shouting furiously as he ran, the wrathful challenging shout of one who has been goaded beyond endurance. The inspector came to his feet and awaited Andrew in a stance more aggressive than placatory. Deborah could not catch a word but the men’s attitudes and gestures were eloquent They were going to fight It seemed a collision was inevitable. It looked as if they meant to kill each other. Deborah winced and covered her eyes, unable to bear the sight any longer.— Ontinne the tomorrow.

(NATO) Council in Paris has proposed specific steps to Russia to break the deadlock over disarmament. Test of Soviet Intentions One of those steps is to join the 25-nation U.S. commission disarmament talks when they begin. While Russia has denounced the 25-nation group it has not boycotted it. Some officials thought the convening of the commission next year may provide a major test of Russia’s intentions. Russia likewise has scoffed at, but not flatly rejected, the alternate NATO proposal for an East-West foreign ministers conference. Dulles, who gave the bulk of the half-hour talk, rejected as too unwieldy Russia’s counter-proposal for a special disarmament meeting of the full U.N. General Assembly. However he said the West will “continue probing to find some evidence that there is within the Soviet Union the good will to resume serious efforts to Achieve nuclear peace and to put behind us the horrible prospect of nuclear war.” Both Eisenhower and Dulles hammered home repeatedly that the basic objective of the United States and its allies is peace. “We are determined that there must be no war,” the President declared. . ... List, Major Points. ’ Dulles said however that "while the Soviets go on piling up their armaments, our own armaments must proceed.” He made these other major points: —While the United States will probably continue making nuclear warheads for some time, its Allies ‘ in Europe can take over production of rockets for the intermediate range ballistic missiles (IRBMs) to be based there. He did not indicate how soon Europe could start making IRBMs. —NATO ’has the desire to explore" the possibility of liaison with other free-world regional security organizations such as the Organization of American States,

Southeast Asia Treaty Organization and Baghdad Pact. —Russia has declared “economic war” and the Allies must put more money into "capital-hungry” free nations lest they are “forced” to take Communist aid at the price of their freedom. Here the President said “with that I emphatically agree.” Dulles said failure to halt Russia’s economic offensive would lead to engulfment of underdeveloped countries one by one and eventual “strangulation" of and eventual “strangulation” of the United States and its Allies. Democrats Criticise Report The President, who spoke for a total of about five minutes at the start and end of Dulles’ report said every American is “prepared to make any necessary sacrifice to sustain and advance" the hope of disarmament and easing EastWest tensions. Dulles said Americans “beyond a doubt” would make “any necessary for that goal. Senate Democrats: criticized both Eisenhower and* Dulles for failing to detail fully the sacrifices that lie ahead for the American people. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-MontJ, assistant Senate Democratic leader and member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said he wished they had "laid the facts on the line and spelled out the sacrifices ;.th£ . people .will. be.. required .to - mgfce In the years ahead.” Dulles will be called before his committee early next year, Mansfield said, to give a “down to earth” briefing. Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala.) declared “They do not paint a picture of great urgency.” House Speaker ,Sam Rayburn said Eisenhower and Dulles made the best report “they could” but that what they said “didn’t contain anything new.” Senate Republican Leader William F. Knowland (Calif.) said “I thought it was an informative report to the American people, g* speech which will receive the full consideration of Congress. ”
