Too many aspiring song

whining about having no "in

by paying for the publishing of
her songs. Not only that, Carrie
made the rounds of music stores
in Chicago asking them to sell
her songs. Finally she opened
her own music shop. There were
seven songs in Mrs. Bond's first
group published in the form of
a song book selling for $1.
Among these seven were the
outstanding hits "I Love You

For You." Later on Mrs. Bond
was to make a quarter of a mil
lion dollars from just one song,

Detective Walter Graven said
the boy had heard about the ju

who had spent some time there.
Apparently the nine - year - old
was impressed. Graven said.
The boy told officers he set
the fire by igniting papers and
boxes. The fire spread to two
other business establishments.
Graven said the boy came
from a "wholesome" family cur

admitted setting fire to a truck
about a month ago. Damage was

The case was turned over to

Questions
Editor's note: This is the second
of five special articles written by
the top revenue official to help tax
pavers make out their federal re
turns. This one takes tip various
questions about exemptions.
By T. COLEMAN ANDREWS
Commissioner Internal Revenue
Written for United Press
Washington U.R) T h e new
tax law has raised a number of
a.uestionings on deductions a
taxpayer may make from his
income tax for his wife and de
pendents. A survey of Internal Revenue
Service offices indocates these
three questions are the favor
ites: May I claim exemption for a
dependent who earns money of
his own?
How about my wife, if she
earns money?
May I cliam extra exemptions
for dependents who are aged or
blinds?
Each individual taxpayer is
entitled to at least one $600 ex
emption, for himself (or herself).
An additional $600 exemption is
allowed if the taxpayer is blind.
The rules on exemption . al
lowances for a spouse (husband
or wife) are different from those
for a dependent (a near rela
tive or a member ol your house
hold). Joint Return Clarified
If a husband and wife file a
joint return, they may claim
both of their $600 personal ex
emptions, or a total of $1,200.
Each may also add exemptions
for age or blindness if he or
she qualifies, up to a total of
$3,600 in exemptions for the
couple. The courts say you be
come a year older on the day
before your birthday, so if your
65th birthday was on Jan. 1,
1955, you may legally claim to
have been 65 on Dec. 31, 1954.
If a husband files a separate
tax return, he may claim his
wife's exemption only if she had
no income and was not sup
ported by another taxpayer such
as her father. If she had income
and files a separate return, she
claims her own exemption and
her husband must not claim it.
Nor can she claim his, of course.
The status of your marriage
on the last day of the year is
the determining factor for ex
emption purposes. If you were
man and wife on Dec. 31, you
are considered to have been

married all year. The same rule
applies if you were divorced
or legally separated as of Dec.
31 you are single for the en
tire year for income tax pur
poses. New Rules Outlined
There are new rules on the
tax liability of a husband or
wife whose spouse died during
the year, or during the two pre
ceding years. I shall describe
them later in this article.
Dependents are not the same
as spouses. They never count
for more than one exception
apiece on your tax return. One
dependent equals no more than
one exemption for you. Age and
vision affect the exemptions of
spouses but make no difference
in the case of dependents.
Question: May I claim two ex
emptions (two times $600; or
$1,200) for supporting my moth
er, who is 70?
Answer: No, just one.
For a person to qualify as
your dependent, you must pro
vide more than half of his or
her support (except in a situa
tion where several people sup
port one person but no one pro
vides more than half the sup
port, which is explained in the
third paragraph below.) The de
pendent must be closely related
to you, or be a member of your
household living in your home.

on Tax deductions
A dependent must have less
than $600 income of his own, un
less he is a child of yours (in
cluding a stepchild or legally
adopted child who is under 19
or a student may earn $600 or
more and still qualify as your
dependent, if you provide more
than half of his support.
Students Must File
Even though you may claim
him as a dependent, if this child
or student earns $600 or more
he must file a return himself.
He may claim his own personal
exemption. Thus, in such cases,
the child or student will qualify
as two exemptions! once on his
own return and once on yours.
When several people combine
to provide more than half the
support for another person, one
of the supporters may claim the
supported person as a depend
ent, if the others agree in writ
ing. Any one of the supporters
may claim the dependency, as
long as he contributed more
than one-tenth of the support
and the dependent is closely re

as if the spouse were still liv

If your spouse died in 1953
or 1952, and you meet other
specified conditions, you may
qualify as a "surviving spouse,"
split your income in half and
pay the tax on each half, just
