HOW TO SAVE ON TAXES The New 1962 Tax Form When you begin to (ill out your individual income tax Form 1040 for 1962, you'll nolice it is the now familiar one sheet, two-page return. But as was the case last year, millions of you again will find that you must fill out much more than the basic two-page form. You should have this information in mind now so you can get the extra forms you will need in plenty of time to study them carefully, fill them out properly and make sure you pay whst you owe, but not one cent more than you owe, on your 1862 income. If you received dividends, interest, pensions, rent or other types of income, you will have to fill out and attach to the two-page Form 1040 a separate two-page Schedule B, entitled "Supplemental Schedule of Income and Credits". Of course, if you sold stocks, bonds or other property in 1962, you will, as in past years, have to complete and at tach Schedule D. If you had income from a business or profession, you will have to complete Schedule C, and farmers are expected to fill out a Schedule F. If you revived "sick pay" from your employer while ' home because of illness during 1962, the Treasury would like Form 2106 from you. If you paid and deducted the medical expense of a parent, the Treasury would expect you to fill out Form 2948. If you drove a car on business or incurred travel or enter tainment expenses, Form 2106 is waiting for you. If you owned shares of a mutual fund which didn't dis tribute its long-term capital gains, you probably will be in volved with Form 2439. If you are a widow or widower claiming a child care deduction, you would fill out Form 2441. If you sold your old home at a profit and brought a new one, the schedule for you is Form 2119. For millions of us, the form hardly will be the one sheet, two-page return which it is claimed to be. Never theless, the 1962 form has cleared up an important am biguity which existed in last year's 1961 form. This in volves Lint 5. covering dividends, interest, rents, royal ties, pensions, etc. On last year's return, it you had $200 or less of interest and dividends and no other kind of income to report on this line, you did not have to give details of your interest and dividends on separate Schedule B. This was confusing be cause it left up in the air the question of how and where you should compute the S50 dividend exclusion and the 4 per cent dividend received credit. Now line 5 or Form 1040 for 1962 has three separate subdivisions: 5a-dividends; 5b-interest; 5c-rents. royalties, pensions, etc. You must supply the details in Schedule B (or on a separate list if you had only interest income and wages) regardless of the amount in each category. This re quired use of Schedule B will automatically eliminate the confusion which bothered many of you in handling dividends properly on your return for 1961. The simple card Form 1040A still is available lo you if your gross income was less than $10,000 last year, con . sisted only of wages subject lo withholding and not more than a total of $200 of interest, dividends (over the $50 dividend exclusion) and wages not subject to withholding. But even if you qualitfy to use form 1040A, millions of you probably will pay less tax by filling out the more de tailed Form 1040. You would pay less tax by using Form 1040 if your actual deductions total more than 10 per cent of your in come, or if you received exempt sick pay while home from work because of illness or injury, or if you are entitled to the dividends-received credit, or if you are entitled to the retirement income credit, or if you are entitled to the special tax break for head of a household or widow or widower. If any of these its apply to you, do not use the simple card form. Next! Important changes on the 1962 form you must know.

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF TTfALTER BRADY offers this addition to the Sherlock " Holmes saga: The good Sherlock observed one A.M. "Ah, Doctor Watson, still wearing your winter underwear, eh? Incredible, mar veled Dr. Watson. "How did you deduce that?" "Elementary, my dear doctor," said Holmes. "In the first place, you for got to put on your pants." (Incidentally, Mickey Spillane, one of the John ny - Come - Lately s who put Sherlock Holmes into the ranks of also-rans in the paperback whodunit sweepstakes, has now been displaced as cham pion himself by Ian Flem ing. How the kids are lapping up Fleming's action-jammed stories of Operator James Bond!)

"I had just enough white man's blood In me to make my hon esty questionable." "Onca you are a showman you are plum ruined for manual labor again." "Being a front-page hero is about the hortest-lived profession en earth." (Referring to Calvin Coolidge): "He was the first PremdeM to discover that what the American people want most ( to be left t.one."

Dutrlbuied by Kini TmiIuim Sj-mSltl Science Shrinks Piles New Way Without Surgery Stops Itch Relieves Pain Eye Banks Thousands of persons have been telling their nearest; o kin that in case of their death, they , a n t their bodies or parts of their bodies to be used for helping their fellow men. One of the most wonder f u I ways of i doing this is J i. .. - t, Alvarez w nave eyes quickly removed by an expert and then used by eye surgeons, who will tr replant the cornea, or clear front window of the eye, onto the eye of a person who, perhaps because of an ulceration or a burning injury of his cornea, has lost his vision. With a new cornea, many a blind man can see again. I recently received a letter from a woman whose husband dropped dead a month ago. Now she tells me she feels happy because she has heard that her dear husband s cor neas were transplanted onto ihe eyes of two blin people who are now seeing well-thcy are seeing through her hus band's eyes. This makes her grief somewhat less than it was before. Another woman writes that she is happy because she did what her husband asked her to do just before he died; he had for a long time suffer ed from a severe frm of Meniere's disease and so he wanted to bequeath liis tem poral bones on each side of hia head to some expert ear specialist. These bones con tain the hearing apparatus. The man was so kind and helpful because we doctors know too tittle about what takes place in the ir.ncr ears of people with Meniere's dis ease. We are not sure what causes the spells of great dizziness and perhaps nausea and vomiting. Hence it is that we are glad when we can examine the inner cars of a patient who has just died of perhaps a heart attack. No one, so far as I know, ever dies of Meniere's disease. Many public - spirited peo ple today are telling thicr nearest of kin that when they die they want their body turned over lo the natomic department of the ncaresi medical school. I say. "Blessings on all these good people, and on the kind relatives who carry out their wirhes." The people who want to leave their body or some part of it for scien tific purposes should not de pend on expressing their dc sires in their WILL. As we all know, it sometimes takes a year for a will to be pro bated and passed upon by a court, and by that, time it would be much too late to use any part of the body or a transplant. What a person must do is to leave instruc tions with the person who at( his death will attend to the disposal of his body. In many of these cases, the tissue, like an eye or ear, must be taken out immediately, and certain ly before the mortician in jects his embalming fluid. In many places, I imagine one can find in the classified phone book the telephone number of persons who are interested in so-called tissue banks. Oftentimes, the per sons interested m and in formed about an eye bank arc the people of the Society for the Prevention of Blindness. Acuta Leukemia Because many distressed parents ask if there is any-; thing new for the treatment of a child with acute leuke mia, I will note here that Drs. J. Frcnback, W. W. Svuow, W. G. Thurman, .and T. J. Victti, of Houston, Atlanta and St. Louis, have reported the use of a new dri'j called cyclophosphamide. They gave the drug to 44 children with advanced leu kemia, and produced what they call "complete remis sions" in 8 children, partial remissions in 5, and some im provement in 10 children. II is sad that, as usually happens when we doctors have to give a very powerful drug, re were a number of cases in which the medicine caused so many bad "side-effects" that its use bad to be stop icd. Unfortunately, also, the drug is not a cure. The chu drcu who had what is catted a "complete remission" with a return of the "blood pic ture." or appearance of Die white blood cells to normal, lived on the average, 17 months. Obviously, the new drug is not the cure for acute leuke mia, but I mention it here be cause the litlle success ob tained wilh it gives me hope -hope that before long anoth er drug will be found which will cither greatly lengthen the life of these children, or will cure the disease.

Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said Saturday that if "France wants to go it alone . . . then I think they should bo told to go it alone. Morse, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said that, the United States is "giving more money to France in foreign aid than any other country in the world." He added: "We've given nine and one-half billion dol lars to France, and the sad fact is that France is not as suming her responsibilities under the NDrtn ADanlic J Treaty Organization." i Morse said as far as his vole on the Senate committee is concerned, "we're going to take a long look at how much more we're going to give France until she assumes her fair share of the burden of NATO." "And," added Morse, "if France wants to go it slone and (French President Char les De Gaulle seems to be talking that way-lhen I think they should be tatd to go it alone."
