Over Half Million Collected in Back Income Tax Bills 1 Satan U.R) More than half a million dollars in unpaid in come tax payments were recov er! in 1952 by the fraud divi sion of the State Tax Commis sion, according to Ray Smith, commissioner in charge of the division. Smith said an even greater collection is expected this year because the fraud division is working on "some very flagrant cases that will bring about re covery to the state of many thousands of dollars." Evaded Taxes Paid Since the fraud division was established, soon after Smith was named commissioner, no criminal cases have been insti tuted. Instead the taxpayers have paid the evaded taxes plus penalties. Smith said: "However, in the cases now under investigation, there may be some prosecutions as well as recovery of a goodly sum of money." He said that in cases where it might be decided that prosecu tions under the criminal code are needed, the evidence will be turned over to the district at torneys of the counties where the tax evaders live. More Teeth In Law The Commission is making a study now looking toward "put ting more teeth" in the violation section of the income tax law, Smith said. At present evasion of state income taxes is only a misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum fine of $1,000, a year's imprisonment, or both. The first commemorative post age stamp issued by the United States was released on January 2. 1893.

MAGNAVOX PIANO HOUSE North Central Medford Phone 2-5702 "J. sponsored, by every segment of the industry, including manu facturers, airlines, airport opera tors, pilots, government agencies, and the military, Important advances already have been made by ' adjusting traffic patterns, relocating train ing flights, revising operational procedures, changing ground run-up locations, and muffling ground tests of new engines. In addition, manufacturers and gov ernment researchers are in vestigating means of reducing engine sounds at their source. The national campaign, under taken slightly more than a year ago, has according to Civil Aeronautics Administration brought together "all elements of the industry that can make some contribution" toward sound abatement. In the New York area a hub of world-wide air activity, where sound abatement meas ures have a high priority be cause of the unequalled volume of air traffic and the high- density populations surrounding its airports a special group, the National Air Transport Co ordinating Committee, has been established to coordinate the wide-scale sound reduction program. The NATCC activity in New York is expected to set a pat tern for other such programs throughout the nation. It has in volved, according to its execu tive director. Vice Adm. C. E. Rosendahi; "the most far-reaching adjustments of air operation al procedures ever undertaken by the air industry." Already, as a result of. volun tary cooperation by aviation groups, more than 23,000 trans port training flights have been transferred from major termi nals in the New York area to outlying airports. Vigorous day-by-day action is emphasized by NATCC in readjusting flight procedures and operations. By telephone, staff personnel maintain constant touch with chief controllers, chief pilots, airport managers, airline execu tives and others concerned with the project. A special techni cal committee, part of NATCC, meets at least once a week to discuss new proposals and re view measures already adopted. Nude Store Dummies Cause of Protests Ogden, Utah (U.R) The Chamber of Commerce has be gun a campaign to stop "strip tease" shows in downtown store windows. The "performers" are only plaster mannequins, but the Chamber s retail merchants div ision promised to do something about it after women protested the nude dummies were in bad taste. , One mother said she was em barrassed by the undressed man nequins when she took her chil dren shopping. Another sent in a clipping from a LaCrosse, Wis., newspaper saying that the city council had voted a $25 fine on firms displaying nude dummies. So the Chamber of Commerce. is sending a notice to stores re questing the merchants to dress em before they go in the win dow or draw the drapes. . VV- ' -- FOR VSSJ this LABEL Maj.

Queen Elizabeth Limited in Styles By Royal Position London (U.R Queen Eliza beth n, who is kept to a limited range of styles by her royal po sition, definitely will not wear the new short skirt decreed by Paris fashion. Women who believe the queen may choose her clothes from all the world of fashion may be surprised to learn she has far more limitations in dress to con sider than most housewives. That is why her skirts for day time wear will stay at calf length. Blocked br Court Etiouexie Even' if she wished to follow the shorter hemline of designer Christian Dior, the strict rules of court etiquette would block her. The queen's skirts must be long and full enough to fall graceful ly below the knees as she gets out of cars with thousands of spectators watching. They must not be so short and flimsy that a gust of wind would disturb them unbecomingly as she stands on parade grounds and airports. To Tour Commonwealth ' She has taken the problem of picking fall and winter clothes with her to Balmoral Castle where she officially is on holii day. She leaves London in No vember for a seven month tour of the Commonwealth countries. The queen has with her re ports of the latest British model collections, patterns of many ex clusive new fabrics and sheafs of sketches specially made for her by court dressmaker Nor man Hartnell, who shut himself, up in the attic of his Windsor house last month to design for the queen in complete privacy. What she decides will be im portant But there are those limitations.
