ome: Line t on Paae 'l of Form
imu proviues space wnere you can i
make this dedaction from income
u you were in or injured last year
and continued to receive pay from
your employer. A provision in the
tax code permits you to do this,
within certain limits and under
certain conditions.
The disability pay you receive
while absent must come from a
wage continuation plan financed by
your employer. The amount you
may exclude is limited to a week
ly rate of $100.
Here are the sick pay rules that
can save you money on taxes:
If your absence from work is due
to an injury, your sick pay ex
clusion from income begins with
the first day you miss.
In the case of sickness, it be
gins only with your second week's
sick pay. However, if you are hos
pitalized at least one day during
the period of illness, the exclusion
begins with your first day of ab
sence, the same as for an injury.
It is easy' to figure out the
amount of your income you can
set aside or exclude, tax free, as
sick pay.
The top amount you can claim
is $100 a week no matter what
your salary may be. Therefore,
if you make anything up to and in
cluding $100 a week, you can ex
clude all the sick pay you receive.
The exception is that the first
week of illness not injury
does not count unless you were
hospitalized as explained above.
You determine your daily rale
of pay by dividing your weekly
rate of pay by the number of
days you normally work in a week.
You multiply this daily rate of
pay by the number of work days
vnn were ahsent and naid. That is
the total amount you can exclude,
If you earn more than S100 a
week, vou must remember that the
top rate is $100. Therefore, you
get your exclusion like this:
Divide $100 (the limit) by the
number of days in your normal
work week. That gives you your
daily exclusion. Then multiply that
daily exclusion by the number
of work days you were absent.
That gives you your total exclu
sion. Again, keep in mind that the
first week of illness does not count
unless you were hospitalized some
time during that first week.

Inflation Seen
As Great Danger
By Industrialists
By JOf HALL
WASHINGTON I Two lead

problem facing the nation but a
top . labor leader said business

tee of the Committee for Econom-
ic Development (LED), said Vie
are now faced with the danger of
a long-term and persistent infla
tionary trend.
"We must conclude that infla
tion is an intolerable, unacceptable
and unsustainable way of life and
will ultimately lead to full unem
ployment." George Meany. president of the
AFL-CIO, said the economy is at
verv high levels now but appears
to be faltering a bit, particularly
in the sectors of plant expansion
and consumer demand.
"There is the possibility, there
fore, that national economic ac
tivities may taper off or even turn
down about mid:year," Meany
said.
The views of the NAM and
Meanv were in statements sub
mitted to the Senate-House Eco
nomic Committee. Wilde's testi
mony was prepared for the same
group. He said he was not neces
sarily speaking for CED, a re
search organization sponsored by

Yaquina Harbor
Work Stressed
By Neuberger
WASHINGTON UP - Plans to
start work en a pulp plant near
Juneau, Alaska, in 1959 make
I early construction of the Yaquina
nay, ure., narrjor project essen
tial. Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore) said
Tuesday.
The pulp plant, planned by the
Georgia-Pacific Co, would ship
its output through the Oregon har
bor to Toledo. Ore., for blending
with other pulp.
At the Senate Public Works Sub
committee hearing, Neuberger
said Georgia-Pacific plans to start
construction of its Alaska plant
in 1959 and to have it in operation
by 1961.
The Budget Bureau has opposed
construction of a Yaquina Bay
project.
Army Engineers told the com
mittee the Budget Bureau is not
opposed to authorization of the
19 million dollar harbor project
"but has put a flag on any appro
priation." The bureau's opposition is based
on the belief that the project is
not required without the shipping
from the Alaska mill.
Neuberger differed. He contend
ed the project would create suf
ficient benefits for existing ship
ping to be economically justified.
