Anaheim Gazette WED. MORNING, JAN. 7, 1953 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA District Revenue Bureau Completes Mailing Out 55 Million Tax Forms Stewart Berkshire, district commissioner of Internal Revenue for this area, today reported that the Revenue Service has completed its annual mailing of federal income tax forms—an operation that involved approximately 55 million pieces of mail. He urged taxpayers who have received their forms at this early date to prepare and file their income tax returns well before the March 15 deadline. The bureau's huge mail operation was simplified this year, Berkshire pointed out, by the adoption of a new "booklet" assembly of the required forms and instruction material, labor and material savings from the use of the new income tax booklets are expected to amount to about $351,000. All of the tax forms, schedules, and instructions that formerly were manually assembled, folded, and stuffed into business-size envelopes are contained in the new booklets, which were mailed without envelopes, from the bureau's processing branch in Kansas City, Mo. They were tested in Indiana and Massachusetts during the last filing period, and the results were extremely satisfactory. In adopting this system on a nation-wide scale, Berkshire said, the bureau hopes to make the taxpayer's task easier and also realize substantial savings on the huge operation. About 42,000,000 persons received the Form 1040 booklets. Farmers and self-employed persons received appropriate additional forms in their booklets. Form 1040A, a single sheet with instructions on the back, was mailed to persons who filed on this form last year. When filing their returns, Berkshire said, taxpayers should detach from their booklet, and fill in those forms required by the nature of their income, and mail them to the Director of Internal Revenue for their district. The tax forms in the booklet are adequate in nearly all cases, but additional separate forms, when needed, can be obtained from any director's office and also from most banks and post offices. The features of the booklet most welcomed by taxpayers are its convenience, the larger type face used in the instructions, and the fact that the forms are not folded in mailing. Internal Revenue officials say that the booklets seem to facilitate quick access to information. Toastmaster Loper introduced Speaker Leroy Ater, who spoke of "VISA in Orange County." (Visiting International Students Association), Hal Johnson, who answered the question, "Are You Paying Too Much For Your Food," Marcus Gartner, whose subject was "Appreciation," and Ed Wright, whose talk was entitled, "You Won't Keep Them Anyway," and was in the nature of a confession about New Year's resolutions. Toastmaster Hal Johnson was voted the cup for best speech of the evening. Timekeeping was by Bill Chambers and the evaluation was handled by Ray Damarell, Paul Von Klieben, Marion Pickel and Louis Taylor. Table Topic Master Britt Gray presided over discussion of "The Power of Television" in which all of the members participated with informal discussions. Invocation, at the opening of the meeting was by Page Vincent. The meeting was held at the regular meeting place, Lum's Restaurant, across from La Palma park in Anaheim. Sensations of 14-Story Leap Told by Jumper CHICAGO, Jan. 6 UP—Alexis Vudimer, Grekoff, 30, who survived a 14-story leap here Monday, said today: "I was conscious right up to the moment I hit." Grekoff, Berkeley, Calif., suffered multiple fractures, cuts and bruises in crashing onto the roof of a car after jumping from a downtown YMCA. Given a good chance to recover Grekoff today described the plunge. He said: Terrible Feeling "I looked down just before I jumped. I saw the car on the lot below me. I tried to jump out far enough so that I wouldn't hit the car, but I couldn't control my fall." "It was a terrible feeling. I can't describe exactly how I felt as I rushed downward. It's a feeling. I can never forget, and a feeling I never want to have again." "I was conscious right up to the time I hit." Saved By Auto Doctors said Grekoff's life probably was saved by the automobile which cushioned the impact of his fall. They said his fractures included the left ankle, left elbow, left arm, pelvis and several left ribs. Services Slated For Victim of Traffic Accident Prvt. Arthur W. Romo, 20, was killed in an accident on Dec. 31 near Paso Robles. He was on his way home on furlough from Camp Roberts where he was stationed. He was born in Brea.

New York Bus Strike Fizzles for Second Day; No Progress in Talks NEW YORK, Jan. 6 (AP) — The CIO Transport Workers Union ended a boycott of city hall today to mediate for the first time a six-day strike of private bus lines. No immediate progress was reported. "We have made very little progress," mediators said as the Wage Report for Unemployment Due January 31 Saturday, Jan. 31, 1953, is the deadline for filing California unemployment insurance wage reports and contribution returns covering the fourth quarter of 1952. R.C. Hiatt, auditor in charge of the State Department of Employment in Santa Ana, today reminded employers. Penalty and interest charges will be added to the amount of contributions if the report is filed after the deadline, Hiatt said. Under California law, employers may have an additional two days within which to file and pay their state unemployment insurance returns for this quarter; however, this additional time may not apply under federal law. Therefore, employers who are subject to the Federal Unemployment Tax Act and are required to file a return with the director of Internal Revenue are cautioned to file and pay their California unemployment insurance returns by no later than Jan. 31, 1953, in order to assure themselves of the maximum Federal tax credit offset. Those employers who provide meals to employees in addition to wages paid in cash are further reminded that the value of such meals for California unemployment insurance tax purposes has been increased effective Jan. 1, 1953. Meals provided on and after Jan. 1, 1953 must be reported at a value of $1.30 for three meals per day; 30 cents for breakfast, 40 cents for lunch, 60 cents for dinner, and 45 cents for a meal not identifiable as either breakfast, lunch or dinner. Employers needing assistance in preparing their returns may contact Hlat at 627 N. Flower st., or by telephoning KImberly 2-8843.

The young man was an American consul to foreign countries and never had a home of his own. As he said himself, "The world has literally sung my song until every heart is familiar with its melody, yet I have been a wanderer from my boyhood." The irony of his story is the fact that this young man without a home was the author of "Home, Sweet Home."

Mrs. O'Malley Freed in Death Of Her Husband SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 8 (UP)—Mrs. Carolyn O'Malley returned home from city jail to her four children today—free of the threat of a murder charge in the New Year's Eve shooting of her husband, John O'Malley, Jr. Dist. Atty. Thomas Lynch said today the action of the grand-jury last night in refusing to indict her closed the case—barring any unforeseen action at a coroner's inquiry later this month. The parents of the slain man, who publicly sided with Mrs. O'Malley, were on hand at the Hall of Justice as homicide investigators assigned her release from the technical charge of suspicion of murder on which she had been held. Mrs. O'Malley admitted shooting her husband, when in a rage, he areatened to kill her for improperly caring for his chinchillas. John O'Malley, Sr., told the errors his 35-year-old son had been "raw tempered" since the ear. All other witnesses—her neighbors and her children—took her side. They supported police belief that there were "extenuating circumstances in the case." The elder O'Malley said his daughter-in-law would probably alter a hospital for a few days' rest. Births Ezra Taft Benson Tells Ike He Opposed Military Man as President SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6 (UP)—A fruit industry executive today quoted Ezra Taft Benson as telling Gen. Eisenhower he opposed a military man as President when the president-elect chose Benson as his secretary of agriculture. Irving Woodin, general manager of the big California Fruit Exchange, told in a Sacramento Bee interview of a conference in San Francisco between Benson and agricultural leaders. "W. F. Cosart, president of the California Fruit Exchange and I were particularly impressed with Benson's comments in connection with his appointment." Woodin said. Wrong Man When Benson was interviewed by Gen. Eisenhower he told the general he was surprised at the offer and stated frankly he thought he was the wrong man. "That he had worked for Sen. Robert Taft during the presidential primary campaign; that he felt a military man should not be president; that he lives in Utah and was born in Idaho, neither of which is considered an important agricultural state; that he questioned the advisability of appointing a minister to work with politicians. Benson Was "It" Gen. Eisenhower thanked Benson for his frankness, declared in his opinion this nation would have to undergo a spiritual awakening and he knew of no better man than Benson, a deeply religious man, to help him during his administration. Benson therefore was "it." Woodin said. Benson, of Salt Lake City is one of the 12 apostles of the Mormon church.
