( r&f, J Soft Coal Prices to Rise 10 to 40 Cents Pittsburgh, March 14 (IP) Soft coal circles buzzed today with unconfirmed reports of imminent increases from 10 to 40 cents a ton in the price of soft coal. An industry spokesman who declined to be quoted by name said there has been no blanket increase announced as yet but he indicated a boost probably is in the offing. He added: . "If it only amounts to ten cents a ton the retailer should be able to absorb it. But if it goes any higher than that it will affect the price of coal to the consumer." Draft for Women? Los Angeles, March 14 (IP) "It will be a damn good thing" if women arc drafted in any fu ture war, says Adm. William F Halsey. Every country does it, why not us?" he said in an interview yesterday.

EYE CARE Nothing you can buy gives so much yet costs so little. DR. S. A. WHEATLEY OPTOMETRIST 725 Court St. Ph. 2-4469 FATHER Income Tax Form So Complex Only I3 of People Can Figure It By LAURA ETZ Chicago, March 14 (IP) Chances are two to one that you're having trouble to fill out your income tax form properly. Dr. David P. Boder, psychology professor at Illinois Institute of Technology, said that roughly 30 per cent of the population has the mental ability to understand the forms. t T r Af 11(1 V,o Oct, . mated, to understand the gov ernment's instructions for filling out the longer tax forms "so you're lucky if you have it all taken out by withholding tax." More than 65 per cent of the population "simply does not have the mentality to follow the legal, technical language," he said. That's not all. Even persons with the mental ability to under stand the instructions may fall down because they lack "num ber facility" or suffer from repressions, It is the "tendency to repress unpleasant experiences" and not laxiness that makes people put off their income tax figuring until the last possible minute. "Unfortunately, the longer they postpone it the more un pleasant is the experience, and as a result the psychological block is even worse the next year," he said. The lack of "numbers facility" can happen to anyone, Boder said "lots of so-called geniuses can't do the simplest problems in mathematics." Income tax figuring, he said, should be made a regular part of high school instruction. "The instruction should start about January or February, in time to give the parents a hand," he said. "The younger genera tion in that way could overcome the psychological block that stymies their parents before they themselves have to face the prob lem." Boder emphasized that he didn't mean to "criticize the gov ernment" for the complicated forms because "they have to be that way to cover everything. It's just too bad for the majority of people." Boder had some suggestions that might make the annual or deal easier. 1. Get several blank forms, not just one, "so Vou can tear it up if you make a mistake." 2. Keep your old returns as a future guide. S. Don't try to do the whole job at once; that only increases nervous tension and makes it more difficult. 4. Follow the directions "methodically and step-by-step as you would a cooking recipe.' If you don't understand the di rections yourself, buy a tax guide or consult a government tax adviser.
