Insect Control Made Easier By Careful Application "IT’S a mistake to expect miracles * of an Insect killer unless exact methods of application are used,” it was stated recently by Dr. Heber C. Donohoe, research director and entomologist of the Peterman labo ratories, in a message to the na tion's housewives. For example, many new DDT- fortified products have disappointed users who fail to realize that DDT must be applied in a special way for each variety of insect. Particularly resistant to many widely sold insecticides is the Cimex lectularius (bedbug). Those actually wet with liquid are killed, but many are missed in practically any home treatment. With a proper DDT preparation, correctly applied, the DDT crystals remain on treated surfaces and kill the Insects walk ing across these surfaces as they come out of hiding in search of food. A bedbug killer containing DDT is much more effective as a residual agent if it is evenly ap plied to the mattress, bed frame and springs and other surfaces. Such application is best managed with a paint brush, both from the standpoint of uniform surface cov erage and from that of personal safety. Since DDT is a poison, espe cially while In liquid solution, the droplets from spraying with a household sprayer may prove toxic both through inhalation and from deposit on the skin. In a brushing job, both of these hazards are prac tically eliminated. Freedom from annoying insects can be achieved by careful study of specific problems and by strict compliance with application meth ods printed on the package. Answers Tell 1945 Tax Preparation Procedure J. W. Maloney, collector of internal revenue for the district of Oregon, lias prepared a ques tion and answer article to clar ify for readers the January 15th income tax filing date and the details, necessary in preparing tax returns or estimates of income. The article follows: 1. What Federal tax form must be filed by January 15th Your 1945 declaration of estim ated tax (or an amendment of your 1945 declaration.) 2. Does eve yone have to fils a declarat on? No. this filing should not be confused with the regular time for filing annual tax returns, which must be filed not later than March 15. 3. Who does have t? file Jan uary 15? Three groups as fol lows: (a) farmers, (b) persons who filed a 1945 deela ation of estimated tax, but w’sh to change their estimates, (c) persons who should have filed 1945 decla- lation but failed to do so. 4. Did everybody have to f le a 1945 declaration? No. cnly persons whose wage* last year exceeded $5.000 plus $500 for every exemption except their own and pe:s:n- who had ever $100 income outsi I of wage) from which tax v.'»i withheld (assuming their overall income was at l?at $500). 5. What are coma examples? A wage earner with a wife and one child has two exemptions besides his own, and If his wages exceeded $6,000 ($5,000 plu3 $500 plus $500), he had to file a 1945 declaration. Also re- q.’i ed to file were merchants, landlerds, law-’Ts. doctors, and others who received income from which tax wa; not withheld. 6. Why is Janra-y 15 a spec ial date for farmers? Other tax payers were required to file dec larations la ,t March, b. t the law specifically p1 mltted farmers to wait until next January 15. 7. If I must file a 1945 dec laration of estimated tax on Jan uary 15, what form should I use? You have a choice between filing an estimate on Form 1040-ES and filing ycur annual income tax on form 1040. You can get either form from the nearest col lector of internal revenue. 8. How can I decide which form is best for me? If by Jan uary 15, you do not have exact figures on your 1945 income and deductions, it is best that you use Form 1040-ES. In that case you will have to also file your regular 1945 return by March 15. If you are in a position to file your regular return as early as January 15, you can file Form 1040 then and it will serve as your declaration and also as your return. 9. Does the new tax law, passed by Congress a few weeks ago, change any of this pro cedure ? No, your declaration or return is for 1945 and the new law applies only to income re-, ceived in 1946. • 10. Do members or veterans of the armed forces have to file declarations? Not as to their pay for active service in the armed “I lost 52 Lbs.! forces (except regular officers serving within the United States.) However, if they have any civilian income, it is treat ed the same as the income of any other taxpayer. 11. If I use the regular re turn blank, Form 1040, to figure my tax, can I file that instead of an estimated form? If you fill it out like a regular return and use exact figures (net es timates), you can fils Form 10- 40, and It will serve both as the declaration due now and as the return due March 15. 12. Part of my tax bill is paid through the tax deductions my employer makes from my pay check. Do I have to pay the es timated tax on top of that? You pay cnly the difference be tween the withholding tax and your total income tax. 13. If I am changing an esti mate and have already paid some installments, how do I take cred it for those payments? If filing Form 1040-ES, write the total amount of your payments on line 5. If filing Form 1040, write the amount on line 7(B). 14. Suppose my estimate last March was far too high, and I have already paid more than my correct tax for 19^5. Can I get a refund of the difference? Yes, by filing your regular return and showing the amount of overpay ment in line 9, page 1, Form 1040. 15. Assuming I had enough in come to be required to file a dec laration, is there a penalty for failing to file or pay the tax due on a declaration? Yes, the penalty is 5 per cent of the amount due and unpaid, plus one per cent for each additional month—the total penalty not to teeed 10 per cent of the a- mount unpaid. 16. Is there a penalty for es- timateing my tax too low. Yes, but cnly if you underestimated your tax by m:re than 33)4 per cent if you are a fa-mer, or by more than 20 per cent if you are not a farmer. 17. How much is the pen alty for underestimating? The penalty is 6 per cent of the dif ference between your est'mate and the correct tax (but not to exceed the total difference be tween you restimate and 66*4 per cent of the correct tax if you are a farmer, or the total dif ference between your estimate and 80 per cent of the correct tax if you are not a farmer. 18. Suppose I filed my 1945 declaration last March but now find it is underestimated by more than 20 per cent. Can I avoid the penalty Yes, by filing an a- mendrd declaration or your an nual return by January 15 and correcting the underestimate. 19. Suppose I based my 1945 estimate on my actual 1944 in come. Does that excuse me from the penalty for underestimating? If you based your estimate on your actual income and figured the tax at 1945 rates and ex emptions, there will be no pen alty. 20. Do I also have to file an income tax return by March 15?

A “look at the books” is a clever catch phrase intended as an opening wedge whereby Unions hope to pry their way into the whole field of management. We have firmly declined to recognize this as a basis for bargaining: 1 ■ The Full Facts are Published How much General Motors takes in each year—how much it pays employes—iiow much it pays to stockholders—how much it pays in taxes—how much net profit we make—and many other facts arc plainly stated in annual reports and quarterly reports. These are broadcast to 425,000 stockholders from coast to coast- sent to newspapers and libraries. Additional copies are free for the asking. 2 ■ All Figures are Thoroughly Checked Every General Motors annual statement is audited by outside auditors. Similar figures are filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission. No mention is made of earnings, prices, sales volume, taxes and the like. These are recognized as the problems of management.

You will have to file a 1946 declaration if you expect wages subject to with holding to exceed $5,000 plus $500 for every exemption ex cept your own, or if you expect mere than $100 of other income (assuming your overall income is $500 or more.) if you are a farmer.

Is this just imagination? Union spokesmen have said, “The Union has stated time after time that this issue is bigger than just an ordinary wage argument, that it is bigger than the Corporation and bigger than the Union.” For Labor Unions to use the monopolistic power of their vast mem bership to extend the scope of wage negotiations to include more than wages, hours and working conditions is the first step toward handing the management of business over to the Union bosses. We therefore reject the idea of a “look at the books” not because we have anything to hide but because the idea itself hides a threat to GM, to all business, and to you, the public.
