Ewpperience With Haw Haw DUANE WOLFE, Times linotype operator, is well acquainted with the broadcasts of Lord Haw Haw who was put to death for treason yesterday. Mr. Wolfe and his signal company were attached to the 8th air force bomber command and were secretly located in England. The outfit had only been in the secret place about a week when Lord Haw Haw announced over the Nazi radio the name of ‘the company and its location. His revelatiohs didn't do any harm, however. Mr. Wolfe and the company stayed at that place 34 months after the-broadeast-and-edr-

Her husband, now at Pearl Harbor with the navy, sent it to her, but it was taken the other night at one of the small downtown theaters. It was brown leather with Egyptian figures embossed on the front and back of it and contained pictures of her husband and baby. In case anyone finds it, Mrs. Donahue can be reached at BE. 3058-W.

‘Made in U.S.A.’ By Sidney B. Whipple

‘TOKYO, Jan. 4—Two of the best stores I have seen in Jape have just been opened by the Amegican army. They are clothing and food stores, providing the two principal needs of an occupation army. The clothing store is on the famous Ginza in downtown Tokyo. The other, a sort of glorified serve-yourself grocery, is just in Yokohama. The thing I fike best about these shops aside from the goods they ‘have to of#r, is the service you get—a far cry from the day when a quartermaster supply sergeant threw a coat or pair of shoes across the counter and “ordered” it to fit whether it did or not. Instead the clerks are pdlite, obliging, helpful and ever anxious to please the customer. Just like home—before the war. The men running the clothing store were proud of their merchandise, largely winter clothing, that had just arrived. There were woolen shirts and long drawers, battle jackets, new shoes and combat boots, raincoats, woolen caps, handkerchiefs, towels,

shirts and socks, ties—everything for the well-dressed gentlemen of the American océupation.

BUT the surprise eomes when you have bought new trousers and a jacket. You are ushered to the fitting room where a sergeant—who doesn’t like to tell you his name since he doesn’t want the folks back

Aviation

THE MARK of a nation’s character is the hondr its people pay to their real heroes, and their custodianship of priceless national relics—captured enemy battle flags and cannons. Yes, but that's not all by a long shot. Those are just combat trophies. What of the glorious American relics, the first working model created by American brains, cour age, and engineering talent? I am referring in this instance to the Wright brothers’ fragile wood and cloth airplane—the first real airplane to carry a man aloft which fulfilled human ‘dreams that stretched back to the earliest days of history. : : That priceless relic of Américan courage, ingenuity, and indomitable vision still rests in the Kensington museum in London,

When

England. London faced demolition by Nazi bombs, Britishers

publicized the fact that they were shipping their crown jewels and a copy of the Magna Charta to.the

United States for safekeeping. They undoubtedly would have shipped the Wright brothers’ Kitty Hawk plane back here if some Americans in the high places had even indicated a wish that it be returned. But such a voice was never raised. That priceless plane cannot be duplicated. It is the first—the one and only first—airplane. It is the plane in which the Wright brothers struggled off the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk to prove to the world that man could fly. It is in England for the unfortunate reason that some. politically minded scientists refused it the honor it deserved, and tried to bestow that honor upon a ed contraption designed and built by one of their own gang. But for this selfishness the Kitty Hawk plane never would have left _ this country.

The W:2 form has heen completely reorganized this year. You need not touch page 1 unless your employer has made an error on it.

If your total wage, or total withholding tax, ls wrong, have your employer give you a new W-2 with the correct figures. . . » : NOW FOR page 2, the back of the original, which is your return. At Item 1 enter the total of wages ‘shown on all withholding eipts that you (and your wife, f this is a joint return) got for 1945 wages. Just the total; no details. If there .is more than one receipt, use one for the return and attach the others to it when you file, As Item 2 enter the total of all dividends, interest and personal service income on which no tax was withheld. 1 % The last item would include tips, gifts, fees, strike benefits, the wages of farm workers and household helpers. Again, just give the total, with no details, but include both husband's and wife's if the return is to cover both. : ” ”

IF ITEM 2 is more than $100, or it you still have income from any of the sources mentioned in the second group of taxable income ftems in the check list that accompanied the first dispatch, you can not file the withholding receipt, but must use form 1040.
