100,000 Going to 3 Groups;
Other Blanks Sent to Distribution Points. * About 100,000 gross income tax re-
turn forms were being mailed this week ‘to retail merchants, partner-

Clarence A. Jackson, division director, said mailing forms to three groups of taxpayers was being combined with other procedures for a more rapid check on delinquencies. “The lists of retail merchants and partnerships may not be complete,” Mr. Jackson said, pointing out that persons who do not receive mailed forms should obtain blanks at their nearest automobile license branch. «Amendments to the gross income tax law adopted this year vitally affect both partnerships and retailers. Exemptions Are Changed
“Merchants who have operated as retailers during 1937 are entitled to a total exemption of $2500 as compared with $1000 in previous years.
Of the $2500 exemption, $250 is applicable to receipts for the first quarter (under the original law) and $2250 is applicable to retail receipts for the last three quarters. Under 1937 amendments, the retail exemption on receipts after April.1, 1937, is at the rate of $750 for each calendar quarter. “Partnerships will file a special type of return in January. One portion of it will caver the first three months of 1937 and will be the same form of ‘information return’ dled by partnerships in previous years, with the individual partners reporting their share of gross receipts on their own returns and paying tthe tax due. “The other portion of the return, covering receipts since April 1, will - be similar to the corporation re--turn and the partnership itself will pay the tax due for this period. © “The amended law, which became effective April 1, makes partnerships distinct taxpaying units.”

PLAN SURVEY OF WPA ELIGIBLES
Officials to List Number of Needy Families That Can Be Employed.
The number of uneniployed families in Indiana in need and eligible for WPA employment, including the number of members who could be employed immediately if funds and projects were available, is to be determined at once and reported to Washington, according to instructions received today by John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA administrator. Instructions to State WPA offices here also included a request for weekly reports on the number of cases receiving general relief from State and local agencies and a weekly modification of applications for relief received by the agencies. Mr. Jennings said he had not been informed of the purpose of the reports, but believed WPA officials in Washington desired to keep in close touch with unemployment conditions during the recession. Two weeks ago, State WPA was authorized to increase WPA rolls on a basis of need in communities where effects of the recession were most evident, Mr. Jennings said.
