Advice Will Be Available Here Soon On Income Tax Questions A tax advisor will be available**^ shortly to answer income tax ques tions that may be puzzling Pre- Flight personnel, Lieut, (jg) Ed ward E. Mack, disbursing officer, indicated yesterday. Accordingly those with income tax problems are asked to withhold them for the tax expert whose name will be an nounced in the near future. As a special income tax aid, the disbursing officer will report to each officer the total amount of taxable income (base pay and longevity pay) he has earned in naval service this year. Federal tax information of par ticular interest to naval person nel is provided in a Navy Depart ment circular which states that income from the following Navy sources must be included in gross income reported: (a) Pay, base and longevity (active list) ; (b) Pay (retired Ust); (c) Extra compensation for special duty (aviation, submarine, etc.); (d) Mileage (report entire amoi.nt received as gross income and deduct necessary traveling ex penses, actually paid, such as meals, railroad fares, lodging, etc.); (e) Transportation of families of officers and enlisted men (the actual cost of such trans portation to the government is con sidered taxable income, with no deduction allowed); (f) Interest on deposits of enlisted men; and (g) Enlistment allowance for en listed men. Not to be reported in gross in come received are uniforms fur nished in kind to enlisted men, rental and subsistence allowances and uniform gratuities paid to re serve, officers. No deduction is allowed for de preciation or absolescence of uni forms, since such costs are held to be in the nature of personal or living expenses. Compensation for naval service is exempt from the income tax laws of the state in which the Navy man resides by reason of official duties, where such person is a non resident of the state. However, such income is subject to taxation by the state in which the indivi dual has his legal residence. If an individual can show that his earning capacity has been im paired because of his military ser vice, he may apply to have his pay ment of income tax deferred for a period extending not more than six months beyond the end of his service. The new 5% Victory Tax .which is applicable to all taxable pay re ceived after last Jan. 1 will not have to be paid by naval personnel until Mar. 15, 1944, along with regular 1943 federal income taxes. The Treasury Department, how ever, requires deduction of the tax at the source from all pay drawn by Civil Service employees. SPORT SLANTS (Continued from page three) buster quintet has already been keenly felt. These two were top fiighters in this highly competitive sport, and they could hold their own with the best of them, come what may. Few know, however, their back grounds. Masterson, who was a sensation here with his brilliant passing and uncanny scoring abil ity, saw little action at Syracuse University, his alma mater. Pre- Flight coaches and others who saw him perform remarked he could make any team in the country. In many respects he was as good as Broberg, they said. Yet at Syra cuse, one of the medioci'e teams in the East, he played little varsity ball. McWilliams, who fouled out of most of the games he participated in, was captain at Penn State in 1939, not to mention that at the same time he was president of the student body and winner of the Mariners Win Weekly Liberty Award Fifth in team standings but first in total points made last week gave the Mariner Squadron the weekly liberty award in the intra mural sports pi'Ogram. The Vindicators, with 25 points, lead the winter sports pro gram, followed by the Wildcats with 25, the Kingfish with 23, and the Coronado with 21V2. The Mariners have 21. The top four teams have lost at least one contest in all the winter sports, namely soccer, wrestling, pushball, volley ball, track, box ing, and basketball. Only 15% points separate the bottom and top team in the standings. Winner of the liberty award this week will be the team with the most total points. outstanding senior award. Came graduation and he continued his studies there in law, receiving a degree in that field before enlist ing as a V-5 cadet. Naval Officer Caps To Shed Gold Braid The gold braid and trimmings which have traditionally bedecked the caps of naval officers are on the way out, except for formal wear, the Navy Department an nounced early this week. Effective at once simple gar rison caps are optional uniform equipment and may be worn in lieu of the regulation round, stiff- visored caps heretofore required of all commissioned, warrant and chief petty officers. Commissioned officers, except aviators, will wear the insignia of rank on the right side of the garrison cap and a miniature cap device on the left side, each two inches from the front edge. Avia tors will continue to wear the miniature wings on the left side, with the insignia of rank on the right. Warrant officers will wear the corps device on each side of the cap, while chief petty officers will wear the regular C. P. 0. cap device on the left side of the cap. Starting Jan. 1, 1944, the pres ent visored caps will be shorn, ex cept for formal wear, of their gold braid chin straps and of the gold embroidering which decorates the caps of officers of the rank of com mander and above. All officers will then wear caps with polished black vizors and black braid chin straps, or the optional garrison caps. Also beginning next year, the sleeve stripes on the blue service coats will be cut in half and ex tend only on the outside of the sleeve from seam to seam, instead of running all the way around the cuff. WARING (Continued from page one) He saw combat service with that division in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne battles, and was later awarded the Silver Star. He now holds a commission as a colonel in the Officers Reserve Corps.
