Congress, Nation To Hear Johnson Tonight

WASHINGTON UPI — President Johnson goes before the new 90th Congress — and the nation — tonight to set forth his plans for enlarging the Great Society in 1967 while waging war and seeking peace in Vietnam. His State of the Union message was expected to answer — at last — the question if Americans were to be asked to pay higher taxes to finance the war, pay for domestic programs and ward off inflation. Johnson’s appearance before a joint session of the House and Senate waa to be carried to the nation on television and radio and transmitted around the world by the Voice of America. The President was scheduled to make his address at 9:30 p.m. EST. Though he cloaked in characteristic silence the details of what he planned to recommend, Chief Executive signalled his intention to lay down a guns and butter program when he told newsmen last Deo. 31: "I think we can, I think we must, and I think we will continue to do what is necessary at home and send our men abroad what they need to do their job.” He said he would tell Congress now — as he did a year ago — that despite the mounting costs of the conflict In Vietnam the United States must pursue its fight against poverty, ignorance and disease at home. But congressional leaders — Democratic as well as Republican — already have hoisted goslow warnings. And GOP leaders Everett M. Dirksen of the Senate and Gerald R. Ford of the House scheduled a news conference to answer Johnson’s speech 30 minutes after it ends. They were expected to call for a long hard look at Johnson’s domestic proposals — and the 90th Congress, with an increased Republican membership again linking forces with conservative Southern Democrats, was likely to heed that call. Confronted by cautionary signs not only from those quarters but from Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield as well, Johnson has been faced on the other hand by demands from liberal lawmakers and civil rights leaders that he make giant strides forward in his embattled poverty and urban development programs.

Israel Claims Tank Victory TIBERIAS, Israel UPI — Israel today claimed it won Monday’s first tank battle in renewed border clashes with Syria and hoped its use of armored strength would halt the series of frontier incidents. Syrian and Israeli troops backed by tanks kept battle alert along their hotly contested 48-mile border. Israel said the situation was "grave.” In a letter to the U. N. Security Council in New York, Israel declared the “serious intensification of Syrian acts of aggression along the border . . . have created a grave situation.” The protest letter—Israel’s second to the Security Council in 24 hours—did not request a council meeting. Monday’s border fight, the sixth since Jan. 1, turned into a full-scale tank battle at Tewfic, south of the Sea of Galilee. Israel said the Syrian tanks opened fire around noon on an Israeli tractor working in fields near the demilitarized zone. Damascus Radio said Israeli tanks fired first on Syrian farmers. Israeli officials said they hoped the use of tanks by Israel Monday would discourage Syria against further assaults. Tensions along Israel’s northern border with Syria mounted recently when fanners on both sides of the demilitarized zone stepped up agricultural activities. Both sides have admitted firing warning shotsat tractors venturing too close to, or into, the demilitarized zone.

Baker Evidence Is Introduced WASHINGTON UPI — The government began presenting its case today against Robert G. (Bobby) Baker, the one-time Senate cloakroom confidante who stands accused of fraud, theft and income tax evasion in the side business dealings that made him a paper fortune. On hand to hear the Baker story in federal court were six men and six women who will spend probably the next 2% months isolated together in a jury "lock-up” until the trial is over. The jury members, along with six alternates, were sworn in late Monday after they had uniergone intensive questioning by federal Judge Oliver Gasch, who ordered them sequestered to prevent any undue influence through news coverage of Washington’s most potent political case in decades. Eleven of the jurors are government workers. The twelfth is a retired federal employe.

IRS Questions And Answers

Question-and-Answer Column No. 67-1 This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service' and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q.—When will I get my tax forms in the mail? A.—Distribution of the 1966 tax forms should be completed early in January. Forms will also be available at IRS offices as well as many banks and post offices. Q.—Is a Social Security pension taxable? A.—No, it is not. Q.—I worked last summer to earn money for college but made less than $600. How can I get back what was withheld from my pay for income tax? A.—File an income tax return to obtain a refund of any income tax which was withheld from your wages. The card Ford 1040A may be the best, as well as the easiest, for you to use. Don’t forget to put your Social Security number on the return and attach your W-2 Form. The W-2 shows how much was withheld. Q.—Has there been any change in the income tax rates

for 1966? A.—No. An individual’s income for 1966 is taxed at the same rate* in effect the preceding year. Q.—When can I expect to get my W-2 from my employer? A.—Employers are required to issue Form W-2 by the end of January but many do so earlier. Q.—Can anyone use the figures for state gas tax deductions that are given in the 1040 instruction booklet? A.—These figures are provided as a convenience for those taxpayers who deduct state gasoline tax when they itemize deductions. It you are entitled to claim this ddeduction then you may use the table instead of doing the calculations yourself. Q.—If my wife and I file separately instead of jointly, can one itemize while the other uses the standard deduction? A.—No. Married couples filing separate returns must handle their expenses the same way. If one itemizes the other must too. Married couples filing separately must also take the same type of standard deduction. If one takes the minimum standard deduction they both must take it. Q.—Are you going to offer tax assistance over the phone again this year?

A,—Yes. Check the local phone directory for the number to call. Q.—Does the law now require me to file my return with an IRS service center? A.—A new law authorizes the Secretary of Treasury to make such a request but it will not be required for 1966 returns. Check your 1040 instructions for the address of the office to which tax returns are to be sent. Note that in some states, taxpayers are offered the option of mailing returns calling for a refund to a service center. Even in these states this is not a requirement but offered as a means to help speed up refunds and reduce processing costs. Q.—How does the minimum standard deduction work? A.—The deduction amounts to $200 plus $100 for each exemption taken on the return including those for age and blindness. For married couples filing separately, the deduction is $100 plus $100 for each exemption taken on the return including those for age and blindness. For married couples filing separately, the deduction is $100 plus $100 for each exemption. The maximum that may be claimed by those using this deduction is $1,000 but it is limited to $500

when a married taxpayer files a separate return. A married couple with two children as dependents would be entitled to a $600 deduction when this method is used. If the income reported on the return was under $6,000 then this method would be more to the couple’s advantage than the standard deduction. Q.—I’ve heard that one of the tax benefits for older people is to be able to seU your home at a profit and not he taxed on that money. Is that true? A.—Yes, it is if certaun conditions are met. You will not have to pay tax on the profit if you were 65 or older before the date of the sale, the adjusted sales price was $20,000 or less, and you owned and occupied the house as your principal residence for at least 5 of the 8 years before the sale. If you sold the house for over $20,000 and the other conditions are met, then only a portion of the profit will be taxable. Gain excluded under this provision of law can be elected only once. This benefit is explained in the booklet, Tax Benefit* for Older Americans, Document No. 5569. For a free copy, drop a post card to your IRS district director.

linery industry wants the salute to read "hats on’ ’instead of “hats off.” Its grand design for putting hats hack on bare-headed females includes new, bold colors, new lightweight materials, new shapes or new versions of familiar ones, more accent on young looking chapeaux, and hats that pack readily. The time was when the white hat was the tradition of spring. It’s still very much on the scene, but colors like bright green, orange, yellow, clear pinks, and the range of bluegreen have moved in. Add on splashes of patterns in bands or brim linings. Sally Victor, a veteran of the millinery business and a favorite designer of first ladies, shows white, for instance, In her "Honda,” a tam-cap shape in white felt with softly crushed crown and its narrow brim faced in red. Miss Victor was one of a large group of milliners who this week showed spring hats for all ages from girl to grandma. Hie occasion: Hie Millinery Institute of America’s semiannual show for visiting fashion reporters. The institute’s presentation kicked off the second week of fashion shows by leading New York dress, coat, suit and ac-

New York Couture Business Council. Now, through Jan. 13, shows will be by members of the American Designers Group. The millinery group saluted Dinah Shore tot her fashion influence and the singer, who’s doing a supper club engagement in Manhattan, told the report ers, "I wear hats all the time . . . even on the tennis court” Her hat for the occasion, a sleek fur helmet Hats look, and must feel, much lighter on the head. Numbers of organdies, Organzas, linens, chiffons, even paper are on the spring scene. To prove a girl can have hats, will travel, one model showed seven hats that went readily into a hat box without crushing. Shapes included the visored, newsboy hat versions of Jockey caps, berets worn well back on the head and of puffy fabrics or straws, big floppy brimmed numbers plain or with floral prints or stripes lining the underside of the brims, snoods made entirely of assorted flowers one floral hat had matching parasol, sailors with waistlength ribbon streamers down the back, helmets with narrow underchin straps, coolies, wide brimmed numbers with the brims rolled off the face in front, turned down at the back, and copies of men’s hats.

Two banks in Indiana were robbed of nearly $39,000 Monday, including one at Indianapolis where the FBI later in the day arrested Atlanta Federal Prison escapee Morris Lynn Johnson and two other suspects. A lone bandit, armed with a pistol and wearing a ski mask, took $28,513 from the Northern Indiana Bank ft Trust Co., branch bank at Portage. He was still at large. About 15 FBI agents surrounded an Indianapolis apartment house Monday evening and arrested Johnson, 29, Anthony Charles Durham, 27, and John Martin Young Jr., 37, all of Indianapolis, as suspects in the $10,375 robbery of an American Fletcher National Bank ft Trust Co. branch bank earlier in the day. Officers said the three offered no resistance, although Johnson was armed with a .22-caliber pistol.

_ \

James Neagle, FBI agent in charge, said a search of the building uncovered "about a dozen guns,” including a sawedoff shotgun, and about $5,000. Two bandits earlier in the day had entered the Indianapolis branch bank, one armed with a sawed - off shotgun and the other with a revolver, and robbed the bank of $10,375. A third man drove a getaway car, which later was found abandoned. Two customers were in the bank when the bandits entered, and a third came in while the robbery was in progress. Johnson also faces federal escape charges. He and Jesse James Roberts scaled the 35foot walls of Alanta Prison last Nov. 9. Roberts was later cap-

had eluded police. Johnson had been serving an 18-year prison term for bank robbery in Indianapolis. The Portage bandit waited in a car parked at the rear of the branch bank until closing time when cashier Douglas Perry, Valparaiso, and clerk Miss Carol Yacullo approached Parry’s car to go home, the bandit forced both of them back into the bank at gunpoint. He forced Parry to open the vault and took three sacks of money. The holdup man bound both bank employes with tape, but Parry was able to break loose and call police shortly after the robber had left. Donald Lida, who lives next to the bank, said he spotted the bandit leave the bank and drive away in a car parked across the street. Lida said he tried to chase the robber in his own car, but lost him.
