PACE IICHT Costa Rican Ex-President Jailed Today RAN JOSE, Col Klca, March 1 (AOtlllo Ulate Blanco, who dee lion u Coat Klca'i prcaldfnt waa voided hy cowtmm Monday, was be hind ban today, chanrHl with com plicity In the killing of two ciutomi (uardL Ironically, his arrest waa personal ly directed by War Minister Gen. Rene Plcado Michalski. who sup ported Ulate during the turbulent February 8 elections. He is a brother of the present president, Licencldo Teodoro Picado Michalski. Armed Troops Army troops armed with aub machinciuns, mortars, crenadca and pistols, arrested I'late and six polit ical lieutenants in a private home here last nitht. I'late, a Costa Rican newspaper publisher, had been ought since the customs guards were shot to death Monday nitht when they tried to enter the home .of Carloa Valverde. Valverde. a newly elected parlia mentary deputy and follower of Ulate, was critically wounded in the gunfire. Police said Ulate was known to have used Valverde's home as a hideout after the elections touched off rioting in this Central Amer ican republic V. S. Ambassador Nathaniel P. Davis and two church officials were with Picado at the arrest One of the churchmen was Archbishop Victor Manuel Sanabria. Ulate's arrest climaxed elections which resulted in wild rioting In San Jose, charges of fraud in the ballot ing, and high political tension. At one time during the clash of factions in San Jose's streets hand grenades aold openly for 30 apiece, and a lire destroyed thousands of ballots. Congress annulled mate's election Monday by a rote of 7 to 19. up holding claims of "scandalous fraud" brought by Ulate's government backed opponent, former President Rafael Calderon Guardia. Taft Fears Wage Boost ' WASHINGTON, March 3 tJPi Senator Talt R-Ohio) expressed lear Tuesday that the recent steel price Increase might touch off new demands for wage boosts. He aald he is concerned that "one of the fundamental industries comes along and increases its prices" despite pleas from President Tru man and others to hold down prices generally. Taft. head of the senate-house economic committee, aimed his re marks at Benjamin P. Fairless, president of the United States Steel Corp. Fairless was a witness at a committee hearing on the 4.85-a-ton-hike in semi-finished steel an nounced February 20. Taft asked Fairless if he did not think the Increase would encourage every labor union to ask for more wages. "Isn't that the moral effect?" ha pressed, "hasn't it increased the de mand for government controls? "Not unless we make a mountain out of a molehill," Fairless replied. Both. Fairless and Arthur B. Homer, president of Bethlehem Steel O., told the committee they do not think a third round wage increase is Justified.

Care In Filling Out Tax Return Urged For Oregon Citizens By Collector Hugh Earle. collector of internal i revenue, announced that last year approximately 190.000 Oregomans used the withholding statements. ; form W-2. as income tax returns. I In addition, a large number of forms W-2 were returned to taxpayers who j overlooked the instruction that this form could not be used if the ! separate or combined gross incomes were S5000 or over, or income not subject to withholding was more than $100. In many instances, ine tax was incorrectly computed, or refund checks were issued and went astray because taxpayers did not follow the .directions appearing on the back of the employee s copy ot Form W-2. 'i The collector's office is required to compute the tax to the taxpayer's advantage: and to do this it is nec essary that the employe furnish the required information. Before send ing in a Form W-2. the loliowing items should be checked to be. sure that it is in order: 1 If address changed, please en ter new address. - 2 Complete lines 1 to 3, inclusive. 3 If married, answer questions 4 (a) (b) to. 4 Check? information regarding dependents, if you have any. 5 Check to see that, form is signed. 6 Do not furnish payroll receipts or memorandum. IT you do not have Forms W-2 from each employer, you must file on Form 1040. Attention to these simple details is your insurance against errors in the tax you may be asked to pay. or delay in receiving a refund, if the withholding is in excess of the tax. For instance: over 20.000 taxpayers failed to enter correct addresses on Form W-2. The collector's office. through use of addresses shown on the envelopes in which the forms were mailed or in letters or mem oranda, was able to correct the ma jority of these errors, but more than 8000 refund checks went astray be cause the taxpayers had moved from the addresses shown on the with holding statements. If you wish im mediate notification of tax due. or prompt delivery ol a refund check, you should check the address on Form W-2 before mailing it in. If your address has changed, cross out the old address and write In the new one. HARTFORD AccMeal mm lodeojnily Ompsay INSURANCE T. B. WAITERS ' FIRE . . . AUTOMOBILE General - Insurance Agency 107 S. 7th St Phone 4193 THE NEW National Guard . . . -s SAM NESLIN, Mgr. Phone 6873 Promoted From The Ranks (f v This year the use of Form W-2 as a tax return in the case ol married persons is affected by the passage of the Oregon community properly law, which took effect July 5. 1947. The community property law has no application to single persons, who may thus continue to use the with holding statement in the same man ner as in former years. There are a few changes, however, applicable to married persons w-ho use Forms W-2, due to the treatment of compensation earned after July 4, as community income divisible equally between husband and wife. Because Oregon joined the commun ity property states, of which there previously were nine, the rule en forced in those states, prohibiting the use of Form W-2 as the separate returns of husbands and wives, now applies to Oregon. Thus, married persons may no longer use Forms W-2 to file separate returns. All separate returns of husbands and wives must be filed on Form 10-10. Married couples may continue to file joint returns through the use of Form W-2. providing the combined gross income is less than $5000. and income not subject to withholding is not more than $100. There will be no tax benefit arising from the com munity property law, if the com bined gross income is less than $3000. However, if the combined gross income is over $3000 there may be a tax benefit. So that the collec tor's office may compute the least tax or the larger refund, there should be entered on line 4 ci of Form W-2, the separate income of each spouse computed in accordance with the community property law. The division will be as follows: Assuming that the husband earned $1842 to July 5. and $1830 thereafter, and the wife earned $625 to July 5 and $615 for the balance of the year: Husband: Wife: Husband's earnings to July I47 Si. 84200 Nnne ot husband's Balance earnings.

It is planned to complete the tax assessment and refunding operations by June 30. 1948. This Involves handling approximately 600.000 in come tax returns, some 200.000 of which will be filed through the use of Form W-2.
