Moment Of Troth is Near
(From Brazil Daily Times) As the April 15th moment of truth draws near, there seems to be among the nation's indepdendent business proprietors a trend toward disenchantment with the 1964 income tax reduction. In the continuous year long survey being conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business, the question is asked as to what benefit the businessmen felt accrued from the tax cut. The results of the first month showed that 38.3 per cent felt the cut had some beneficial result, while of those who expanded in 1964, 51 per cent said the cut was helpful. In the compilation of the latest week covering 1,309 respondents in 34 states, only 36.8 per cent of these respondents who expanded, investing a total of $6,571,351 in such expansion, now only 48 per cent feel the tax cut was helpful. The clue to the apparent building disillusion with the tax cut, according to C. Wilson Harder, Federation president, is probably found in the returns of those who express voluntary comments. The tenor of these comments indicate that there is a growing awareness that many people are finding they must pay additional taxes to compensate for the under-withholding from their pay checks. It is felt this will have a detrimental affect on spring business volume.

Sheinwold On Bridge Don’t Pin Partner Down When He Makes A Mistake By ALFRED SHEEVWOLD National Men’s Team Champion 'What should I do about my husband?” asks an irate reader. “He always has an excuse for hia mistakes, and I can never get him to admit that he has pulled a boner, pure and simple. Here's a hand we had last night: South dealer Both sides vulnerabla NORTH A I 10 6 5 V 10854 O K7 * A63 _ WEST EAST A 972 AS 2 S? AQJ9 0 Q 10 642 O 19 8 5 ♦ ,9M «wrr£ Q1072 SOUTH A AKQ43 V K76 3 O A3 A K5 South West North East 1 A Pass 2 A Pass 4 A All Pass Opening lead — V 2 "My husband was playing the hand at four spades, and I got up from the table to watch the first two ricks. Then I went into the kitchen and slammed the coffee cups around for minute or two. v Our neighbor opened the singleton heart, and his wife took the ace and returned the jack of hearts. My lord and master put the king on this trick, and our neighbor ruffed. “I didn’t watch the rest because there was no hope. When I came back with the coffee, my husband was scoring 100 points for the opponents. “I told my husband that he should play a low heart instead of the king at the second trick. Then he couldn’t lose more than three heart tricks. HAS EXCUSE “My husband said he thought the opening lead was from Q-9-2. If so, he would be quite safe in playing his king on the jack. If he failed to take the trick, our neighbor would be able to overtake with the queen and return the suit to let his wife ruff. This would cost him a trick. “Can you point out what is wrong with this excuse? I give
up.”
I wouldn't dream of pointing out that the only correct play at the second trick is a low heart. If the opening lead is a singleton, this saves the contract. Even if the lead is from Q-9-2, South loses only three tricks and then makes the rest. But how can I say such a thing to a fellow husband? A wife who plays well enough to catch these errors instantly should be satisfied to slam the coffee cups around. She should not insist on making her husband admit his mistakes. DAILY QUESTION Dealer opens with one spade, and your partner doubles. The next player passes, and you hold; spades, 8; hearts, A, Q, J, 9; diamonds J, 9, 8, 5; clubs, Q, 10, 7, 2. What do you say? Answer: Bid three hearts. This jump response invites a game but is not forcing. If partner has made a very “light” takeout double, you are willing to stop short of game. (If he has doubled one spade wihtout good heart support, you should get yourself another partner.)

Records 100,000th Real Estate Sale O. U. Carpenter, representative in the Greencastle area for United Farm Agency, reports that his company has just announced the recording of its 100,000th real estate sale. Thirty years were required for the completion of the first 50,000 sales; while the second 50,000 were made in just over nine years. The celebrated sale was made by the United representative in Athens, Texas. Carpenter’s firm, currently ranking as the nation's top advertiser of rural and suburban real estate, was founded in 1925 as a one-man operation in Kansas City, Mo., by Roscoe L. Chamberlain, now Honorary Chairman of the Board. In forty years, United has grown to include over 375 offices in twenty-eight states from coast to coast. Indiana's contributions to United’s 100,000 sales began in 1935 when the first office was established in the state. Now there are seven local sales offices throughout the state, including Carpenter’s Greencastle office, located a mile north of town on U.S. 231 and State 43, across from the fairgrounds.

Committee OK's Medicare Bill WASHINGTON UPI — The House put a rush-order tag today on a $6 billion medical care bill that included higher Social Security benefits along with President Johnson’s health program for the elderly. Approval of the sweeping bill Tuesday by the House Ways & Means Committee ended 15 years of frustration over health care. The measure would provide the broadest expansion of government welfare benefits since the depression years of the 1930s. Included was Johnson's plan for compulsory hospital and nursing home Insurance program for persons over 65 to be financed by higher Social Security taxes, and a voluntary insurance plan to cover doctor bills. Social Security benefits would go up 7 per cent for an estimated 20 million persons on pension rolls and the ceiling on permissible earnings would be raised an additional $350. Johnson praised the Ways & Means Committee’s approval of the bill as “a tremendous step froward’’ for the nation’s 18 million citizens over 65 years of age. The President appealed for bipartisan support of the measure. Committee approval came strictly along party lines, with all 17 Democrats in favor of the bill and all 8 Republicans opposed. Legislative leaders were driving to get the measure to the House floor next week. Passage by both House and Senate apparently is assured. To pay for both the medical care and increased pension benefits, workers and their employers each would contribute a maximum of $252 next year in Social Security taxes. The current maximum is $174.

Central Preea Washington Writer
'ASHINGTON—As income tax time approaches, the Treasury is trying to convince millions of taxpayers that they’re not going to be hurt much by the “under withholding” in 1964. But they’re not getting far with many individuals who have completed their reports and have found that instead of a normal
refund, they’re liable for additional tax dollars. In actual figures, the Treasury estimate that the public will have about $1 billion to $1.2 billion less in spending money late th$ spring because they either owe the govern^ ment more in tax payments than they thought, or their refunds will be less than anticipated. * It is true that in overall figures, the amount is a drop in the bucket when con$pared with the many billions the public has to spend this year. But it’s also true that aifr blow to the pocketbook is resented when it comes as a surprise. Most wage earners will

and $200 less than they thought they’d haVk
(, Taxpayers come April 15.
holering Treasury’s main defense is a sort of "1
warned you” statement. The department
points to efforts made last spring to have individuals calculate their tax debts in advance and ask their employers to withhold more than legally required. Some prudent people did just tha^ but apparently millions of others didn’t get the message. In any event it seems that at least a portion of last year'll prosperity was "borrowed” from 1965’s potential and the economy will have to survive the impact of that event No onfc doubts that the economy will survive, but there’s an undea-
current of dissatisfaction among millions of taxpayers.
