i/ s Easy to Make Your Income Tax Return on Your Withholding Receipt These fitfe<f-out Withholding Receipts show how John and Mary Doe, as an example, can make a simple income-tax return. They add up their income and list it all on one of their receipts, and attach the other receipt. Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commis sioner of Internal Revenue, sug gested four simple rules to help the millions of wage earners who intend to use their Withholding Receipts as their 1944 income-tax returns. A return on either a Withholding Receipt or on Form 1040 is required not later than March 15 from every person who had $500 or more in come last year. The suggested rules are as fol lows: 1. Be sure to answer fully the questions about your income on the front side of your receipt. If you had more than one job last year and if you had income outside of your job, be sure to include all your income. If husband and wife are making a combined return, include all the income of both. Read the “test” on the receipt to see if you are eligible to use the receipt as a return; if not, use Form 1040 and attach vour receint to it~ 1 2. Be sure to list on the back of your receipt the names of all the persons, including yourself, for whom you claim exemptions. 3. You should have one receipt for every job you had last year. Count your receipts (where employer fur nishes duplicate copies of the same receipt, count only one), write the number of receipts in the box on the back of your last receipt, and attach all the receipts together. If husband and wife are filing a com bined return, count and attach the receipts of both. However, where more than one receipt is filed, only one of them should be filled out; simply attach the others as they are. 4. Be sure to sign the receipt yQU use as a return. If husband and wife are filing a combined return, both must sign. Commissioner Nunan explained that returns filed on a Withholding Receipt should be mailed to the “dice of the collector of internal revenue in your district, without any money. His staff will then figure out the tax, give the taxpayer credit for taxes already paid, and send a bill or a refund for the dif ference. Where a bill is due, it will usually take the collector a few days to a few weeks to make up the bill and mail it, and the taxpayer will have 30 days from that date to pay it. Where a refund is due, the return will be verified and a check will be mailed as soon as possible. Taxpayers who file their returns on the standard income-tax blank, Form 1040, need not fill out their Withholding Receipts but must nevertheless attach their receipts to their Form 1040 returns, Commis sioner Nunan added. Also, when filing a return on Form 1040, any balance of tax due on the return must be paid with the return—not later than March 15.

Until 3 a. m American & Chinese Dishes wholesome overcrowding which is characteristic of residential areas available to Negroes were emphas ized in testimony presented oy the National Urban League before the Subcommittee on Hosing and Ur ban Dedevelopment of the Special | Senate Committee on Postwar Kc onomic Policy and Planning last week. Reginald A. Johnson, Field Secretary of the National Urban League, stressed the fact that even in 1940 housing for Negroes in ur ban centers aws woefully inade qaute. "In that year,” said John son, ‘there were out of 10 dwellings for whites and 8% out of 10 dwellings for non-whites which needed repairs or had defic ient plumbing. The extent of over crowding of non-whites was over three times that of whites.” The testimony revealed further that in spite of a striking discrepancy in income, “all informed obesrvers a gree that non-whites consistently pay a larger part of their income for housing than do whites and that Negroes receive proportionate ly less housing value for the same prices than doi whites...'. . Johnson’s testimony, which re flected and emphasized the report of the housing recommendations made by the National Urban Lea gue at its 34th annual conference in 1944, developed these conclusions 1. A disproportionate number of Negroes have incomes too low to pay for the full cost of standard housing. 2. There is an increasing num ber of Negroes in the upper and middle incime groups that are not adequately served by private enter prise that can afford to pay the Special Announcement -by Realty Improvement ' COMPANYE 342 ELECTRIC BLDG Phone JA-7718 or JA-1620 Omaha, Nebraska^ Due to the fact that many have inquired about A Plan to accumulate A Down Payment for A New Home. \\ e Now Offer A Service < That will Help All who want to Buy A Horned Now—or later.

(Compiled by The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, 3, New York) COMMITTEE ON UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES. “The Democrats in the House have chosen for chairman of the newly created permanent commit tee on un-American activities, successor to the Dies committee, a so-called ‘compromise’ candidate. He is Representative Edward J. Hart, of Jersey City, for many years a stout Hague adherent, which is a bout the worst thing to be said of him_His best recommendation for the post is his conception of the committee’s function as set forth in an interview last Sunday. ‘I believe,’ he said, ‘there is a great need for supervision of un-American activities. The first great need though, is for a definition of what unAmerican activities are. I deplore the attitude found in so many quarters that a thins: is unAmer ican because it is opposed to the personal views of those who are doing the denouncing. .. .The com mittee should find its proper area of action and ad here to it’... .Ifis credo is unexceptional. It sug gests only two questions: Will he stick to it as chairman and, as chairman, will he have the person al force and courage to impose it on the committee as a whole? As to the first point, he deserves the full benefit of one’s doubt. As to the second, one may hope for the best but with misgivings. A prom inent member of the committee will he Representa tive Rankin, of Mississippi, who proposed and en gineered its creation and whose violent prejudices racial and political, are notorious. The rest of the membership will include some Dies supporters only less hostile to the expressed liberalism of their chairman. He will have a tough team to discipline. His efforts along this line should have overwhelm ing popular hacking.” (New York Herald-Tribune, January 17, 1945.) EMPLOYMENT.. 1. “Considerable discussion has been stirred up by a Denver questionnaire which asked white Am ericans in North and South if they considered that the Negro had an equal chance to make a good liv ing in the United States. Southern whites answer ed ‘yes’ in 66 percent of the replies expressed tin opinion that the Negro had a good chance. The Desmoines Register comments that neither in tin North nor South is there a majority of opinion r accord with the facts, which show that the Negro b discriminated against both North and South other words, in both South and North, white Arm ieans simply are unable to see the Negro realistical ly and understand his problems.” (Rochester and Democrat and Chronicle, Jan. 14, 1945) 2. “The importance of the minority group prob lem in any full employment program is indicated not only by the number of bills in Congress for tb establishment of a permanent fair employment practice committee, but bv proposals for amending The Omaha Guide ^ A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER ^ Published Every Saturday at 2.',20 Grant Street OMAHA, NEBRASKA—PHONE HA- 0800 Entered as Second Class Matter March 15, 1927 at the Post Office at Omaha, Nebraska, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.

Under the pressure of this sort of compet ition the workers themselves tend to raise irrelc vent issues of race, religion and national origin as reasons why they should have the available jobs in preference to other workers with equivalent skills. This kind of conflict after the war mav be used to destroy labor unity and to break the power of labor unions. An attempt to plan postwar full employ ment by removing basic causes of friction in ad vance is being made in a series of bills before Con gress. .. .Obviously the racial minority problem will be more important in the postwar full employ ment program in some areas than in others.” (Chicago Sun, January 16, 1945) 3. “The Fair Employment Practice Committee C 1 \?s <^?miIie*1dation f°r coming to grips at last \\ith the Capital Transit case. .. .The discriminate ion in this case is candidly acknowledged by the company, but attributed entirely to an unwilling ness on the part of its white employees to work a longside Negroes in platform jobs. It seems to us, however, that the company has magnified the haz ard of complete stoppage. Transit workers tried this in Philadelphia, but the Army put a speedy end jto it. Negro platform workers are now employed in that city with no evidence of friction. In Los Angeles, a threatened stoppage failed to material ize after the Philadelphia strike was quelled, and Negroes are now employed there, too, without dif ficulties. No doubt prejudice is more rife among the predominantly Southern employees of the Cap ital Transit Co.; but we do not believe they would— or could—defy the power of the United States Gov ernment. Nor do we think that the Government ought to yield in this or any other situation to the threats of a bigoted and truculent minority.... Bus and streetcar operators are urgently needed in this city. To bar men from serving in these jobs be cause of their race or color is at once to hamper the war program and to subvert the principles for which the war is being waged. Since the Capital Transit Co. will not take the responsibility of insti tuting fair employment practices, the FEPC must shouldei this responsibility for it.” i Wash inert on Po*t.
