Estimated Tax
Deadline Near
The Eugene office of th tv.
partment of Internal Revenue is
humming with businc iho
Jan. 15 deadline draws near for
uuB ana paying estimated tax.
Farmers, business and profes
sional people, investors, land
lords, and certain wage earners
whose 1946 tax was not sub
stantially paid up by withhold
ing, are waiting in line for pro
fessional help from deputy col
lectors in the office.
Fred Huber. denutv cnlipMnr ir,
charge of the office, emphasized
Saturday that Jan. 15 is NOT a
tax date for any wage earner who
had tax withheld, provided he did
not have more than $100 of other
income and his wages did not ex
ceed $5000 plus $500 for each ex
emption except his own.
Final 1946 income tax returns
are due by March 15 frcm ALL
taxpayers, Huber said, but if they
are filed by Jan. 15 they will serve
as both return and estimate for
1946.
Detailed solutions of individual
tax problems may be obtained
from the local office located on
the second floor of the new Post
Office building.
Area Needs 6500 Housing Units to Restore

Commerce estimate which places
present population of the twin

YA Appraiser Policy
Called Safeguard
In action aimed at giving vet
erans increased protection against
buying of over-priced real estate,
the Veterans Administration has
taken over selection of the ap
praiser for each GI loan, at the
same time dropping its former
policy of permitting lending
agencies to pick any appraiser
from the VA-approved panel.
Frank Sias, VA representative
here, explained that this tighten'
ing of GI loan policy against real
estate inflation means that the
VA now designates by name the
appraiser for each piece of prop
erty considered for purchase by a
veteran.
Explanatory letters have been
sent to 300 lending institutions
and to 280 approved appraisers

that before the war each dwelling
unit in the area sheltered 2.7 per
sons and emphasized that the
achievement of this ratio again
will require not only construction
but much land-clearing, rezomng
and extension of utilities.
Some Areas Worse
The present construction capa

annually, the expediter said. While
not enough to "dent" the cunrent
demand, this is more housing than
many large cities are managing to
undertake, Bayles added.

String Quartet
Makes Debut
By BARBARA HEARTFIELD
The University String Quartet
got off to a splendid start with its
first Eugene concert Sunday after
noon in the School of Music audi
torium. George Boughton and
Mary Kapp Allton, violinists,
Marv Coleman, vlnllst. and Mil-
ton Dieterich, cellist, performed
Beethoven's Quartet Op. 18, No.
2, and Haydn's "Lark" Quartet
Op. 64, No. 5, with sincerity and
polish.
The two quartets, composed
only 10 years apart, make an in
terestingly balanced program, and
the new University group gave a
thoroughly comprehending per
formance of both works. Each
player made the audience feel the
importance of his instrument's
part as it fitted into the whole
pattern; their ensemble was ex.
cellcnt throughout. In fact, they
thought so completely as a unit
that occasionally the meaning of
individual lines was lost. .
During the development section
of the Beethoven Allegro the
theme movement became buried
in a mass of notes; so exact was
the balance in the beginning of
the Beethoven Adagio that the
violin and cello solo lines did not
stand out as such. In some places
in the Beethoven, also, the quar
tet played with less assurance than
their ability warranted.
As the program progressed,
however, any such weaknesses
disappeared. The Haydn Adagio
Cantabile movement, featuring
singing solo tones, was perhaps
the most beautifully played of all.
Thoughout the concert tone was
consistently rich and playing
spirited. Noticeable also was the
strong rhythmic urge pulling
through slow and fast movements
alike.
Now that they have worked out
the initial problems of playing to
gether, it should not be too diffi
cult for the University String
Quartet to build up a larger,
varied repertoire. There is a
definite place in Eugene for a
chamber music group of their
high calibre.
Car Thief Thwarted
A would-be ear thief was
stopped early Sunday morning
when he attempted to take a car
from the garage at the home of
Mrs. Tom Williams, 1689 Olive St.
Mrs. Williams told city police
that the thief backed the car into
the garage door and was unable to
move it.

mating rntal housing construe'
tion is being pursued by the fed
eral agencies concerned, he de
clared. In this area, between 500 and
600 units renting for not more than
$50 monthly are needed, he said,
and there is a market for another
100 to- rent at from $50 to $75 a
month. Fifty or more units rent
ing for over $75 a month could also
be absorbed immediately.
Incentives Told
Regulations have been relaxed
so that almost any type of rental
property is insurable under FHA
loans, Bayles continued, and re'
strictions on commercial building
will be retained in some form for
several months. Ammortization
provisions have been eased to re
duce the annual payments on the
principal of loans.
Bayles said the housing program
is now aimed for the general pub'
lie as well as for veterans but that
the best thing the government can
do for ex-G.I. s is to provide plea
ty of low-rental dwelling units.
The permit system will be con'
tinued and regulations giving vet
erans first chance at new housing
are still in force, the expediter
added, although the priorities sys
tem has been abandoned.
No ceiling price is set on new
homes financed under. FHA. Pros
pective buildersydo not need to
submit plans in order to obtain
permits but must comply with
measures limiting the square foot
age of floor space and must give a
general explanation of the type of
construction planned.
Uphill Fight
Much of the area's present hous
ing is substandard and, although
6500 new units would ease the
congestion in auto courts, govern
ment projects and trailer camps,
even this number would not pre
vent obsolesence from cheating
citizen's of homes, Bayles said.
