Buy War Bonds TO DAf For Futur e Needs Seventy-Eighth Year Published Every Thursday — Weldon,.North Qarolina THURSDAY. JUNK 8th.. 1944 REFUNDS BEING MADE ON TAX OVERPAYMENTS Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commis-j sioner of Internal Revenue, has' announced that the one millionth | refund on 1943 individual incorn^ tax returns was made this week However, he cautioned taxpayers that it will take several months befor ■ ’' e remainder ot the 1943 1 nupleted. Each eueek will be mailed as soon as possible by the regional disbursing office of the Treasury Department in the taxpayers own district. In view of numerous inquiries from taxpayers as to when they can expect their refunds, Com missioner Nunan made the fol lowing statement. It is estimated that approxi mately 18,000,000 taxpayers are entitled to refunds on their 1943 income fax returns. It is our duty I and intention to make these re-1 funds as rapidly as possible. First attention was given to tlu ' claims of members of the armed forces. Now refunds to civilians are being made in large numbers More than a quarter million tax payers will receive their refunds this week, bringing the total to more than a million since March 13. An increasing number of tax payers will get their refunds next week, and in every subsequent week until the list is complete Each refund will include interest computed at the rate of six per cent per year from March ID, 1944 , to the date the refund is schedul ed. This is such a big job that ob- . viously its completion will take several months. The preliminary steps before making refunds of any amounts pair or withheld in excess id' the liability reported on these returns involve the assembl ing, checking and comparing of ' nearly two hundred million docu ments such as returns, withhold I ir<v tpx receipts and declarations ( ot estimated tax. Every mentis , possible is being utilized to exped ite the handling of the task as a whole. 1 Dm? to the volume of cases and the mi mix r of processing- opera tions, it is impractical to give pre.ierential treatment to indiv idual cases. In fairness to all tax payers, we are making these re funds to the order in which they fall as a result of this mechanical procedure. Since each relund will he mail ed as soon as it is ready, no cor respondence or other action will be necessary on the part of the taxpayer. In case the taxpayer has moved from the address shown on his 194:5 return, however, he should send a notice of the chan ge, giving* both the new and old addresses, to the collector of in ternal revenue in the district where the return was filed.

Nova Files Claim For Duration Title By Cpl. I (oral Chenoweth, Jr. Galveston, Texas — Lou Nova . . r and farmer put the final clamp on his claims for the dura tion title Tuesday night in Gal veston, Texas. The handsome heavyweight who beat Max Bear unmercifully on two occasions and gave the great Joe Louis a tough battle for seven rounds, put Tex as heavyweight Jimmy Webb to sleep in the seventh round. The knockout ran his string of consecutive victories since his arnty discharge to II by his sav age seventh round attack on the helpless Texan. The string includ es 10 knockouts and a tenth round decision. Frank Face ass i, former mana ger of the great Jack Dempsey and Max Bear wised the New York boxing iomntission from Gal veston, Nova’s claim to the dura tion heavyweight championship of the world. Nova’s pilot also challenged by wire, Joe Baksi, winner of the Saturtay night af fair in Madison Square Gardens. Jn the wire to the New York commission, Paccassi stated that Nova is the only active heavy weight out of the army today, and with .Joe Louis and Billy Conn in uniform, Nova is staking his rightul claim to the title for the duration of the war. Nova spent a ten day training period at the Galveston Army Air Field and appeared to he in ex cellent shape. He states that he is taking on all comers and expects to be in New York by. mid-sum mer. His next fight will be in June in Oklahoma City against Bhddy Scott of 'liimpa, Florida. After that, Pacea si and Nova expect the lumbering comeback trail to end in Madison Square Garden on the Yankee Ctadium. Yogi Bubble Pops The soldiers at the G >’ Army Air Field had a chance ... study the famous “cosmic’ punch at close range. Complete demon strations were held each day in exhibition bouts at the uicield athletic area. Tli.. V nai 1 n<1 i h<»c micllpr't ager was on hand to explain the so called cosmicitazed punch. “He might have been a Yogi, however,” .Manager Paceas-si beamed, "if they had a real 1 ogi along all the time to explain to folk what Yogi is.” A Yoga according to the dic tionary is mo who practices Yoga which includes various physical disciplines such as controlled breathing posture. By Yoga it is sought to gain control over one’s own body and occult powers. “So far as I have been able to figure out," chortled I’acc.assi, Nova’s cosmic punch is just a good heavy wallop. If that suffices, both Lou’s left and right are cos mictized.” The manager went on to say that Lou is a farmer when he is not fighting and nothing more, lie is a big fellow who likes clean living and swimming and olhei sports. His second comheack in nine years of ring activity is a slow one and he doesn’t plan to skip any hurdles. It is a long road hack to New York and Nova is confi dent that he can make it-blow by blow.
