WLB Panel Recommends
Grievance Machinery
For Foremen’s Unions
WASHINGTON. .Tan. 31.—(UP)—
In a report of far-reaching conse
quence to industry, a special War
Labor Board panel recommended
tonight that 12 big corporations be
ordered to establish grievance ma
chinery for their foremen and su
pervisory employes.
If adopted, the proposal would
partially circumvent the policy of
the National Labor Relations Board
which refuses to order employers
to recognize or bargain with fore
men's unions.

Japanese troops today completely
sealed off the China coast east of
the Canton-Hankow railway by cap
turing Kukong. 120 miles above

Enemy Believed Preparing
For Battle A t Mandalay
CALCUTTA. Jan. 31.— (JP) —The
Japanese obviously were prepar
ing today for a last ditch defense
of Mandalay, Burma's second
largest city.
The Japanese defenders, with
their backs to the Irrawaddy riv
er, have elected to make their
stand in the corridor between the
Myitkyina-Mandalay railraod and
the river from Sheinmaga, 20
miles northwest of Mandalay to
Sagaing. immediately across the
Irrawaddy from Mandalay.
One Allied column moving east
ward from Monywa, 40 miles
northwest of Mandalay, was with
in 12 miles, a second striking from
Myinmu had cleared the north
bank of the Irrawaddy for a dis
tance of approximately 20 miles.
Both constitute a threat to the low
er end of the Mandalay defense
positions and can cover crossings
below Sagaing from the solidly
held ground on the north bank.
A third threat was developing
at Singu, where the British have
opened an attack in strength from
a bridgehead across the Irrawad
dy which the Japanese failed to
compress in a week of costly
counterattacks.
West Africans south of Myoha
ung in the Kaladan valley were
approaching Minya. which the
Japanese were believed to be
evacuating. The Japanese com
mander apparently taking a des
perate gamble to break out south
ward toward Taungup. near the
Bay of Bengal on the west coast.
Some of the bloodiest fighting of
the day occurred in the vicinity
of Gangaw for vital hills dominat
ing the Taungup road. Incessant
Allied air attacks paved the way
for the capture of two hills. A
fanatical Japanese counterattack
recovered one, but they later lost
it.
Japanese casualties from air at
tacks in this area have been heavy
and are increasing.
On Ramree Island, off the Bur
ma west coast, Allied amphibious
forces still were held up along the
Yanbaukchaun, which almost bi
sects the island. Japanese there
are strongly dug in and have been
getting reinforcements at night
from the mainland.
Here's That Man Again—
The Income Tax Collector
By MAX HALL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.— Iff! —
Boo!
Here's that man again—the in
come tax collector.
Today was the final day for em
ployers to distribute “withholding
receipts’’ (Form W-2) to their em
ployes. Nearly 45.000.000 persons
now have received these forms.
Therefore the Eureau of Internal
Revenue asked those who intend
to use form W-2 as their final
HH4 income tax return to do it
soon, and not wait until the March
15 deadline.
Also, the Bureau said please.
One convenient thing—if you use
W-2, you attach no money, the
Government figures the tax and
mrils you either :-. bill or a re
fund.
By means of the W-2 receipt, the
employer tells the worker n o w
much he paid him during 1944 ana
how much was withheld for taxes.
And under the new law, about
20,000,000 people are entitled tc
make a few addit Anal notations or
l.'eir W-2 receipts and mail their
to the Government as their fmai
ireome tax returns
All those who don’t use W-2 for
tb.s purpose wnl use the regulai
form 1040. But e'en if you m
IC.4C you are supposed to attach
any W-2 forms you may have rt ■
c.-.ved from employers for work
in 1944.
Who can use W-2? —Any one
whose 1944 income was less than
$6,000 and virtually all from wage;
subject to the withholding tax. II
anybody is in doubt, he can quick
ly find out whether he’s elibible by
making the short test suggested
on the face of the form itself.
Nobody is required to use W-2
as a return. Some folks will use
form 1040 even though they are
eligible to use W-2. For example,
a man might save money by using
form 1040, if his medical expenses,
taxes, charitable contributions and
other such deduction were more
than 10 per cent of his income
(W-2 assumes these items were 10
per cent).
AT___ „ ~ gii
enjoy computing their own income
tax, and don't want any Govern
ment official doing it for them.
Millions of people who had more
than one employer in 1944 will
have more than one W-2. If these
people use W-2 as a return, they
should fill out the last one receiv
ed, and attach the others to it.
For example, a traveling musi
cian might have twenty or thirty
W-2's.
One more thing: if the combin
ed income of a husband and wife
meets the requirements for using
W-2 as the return, they can make
a combined return on their W-2
receipts.
The beauty of this is that they
lusband and wife the cheapest
won’t have to worry about wheth
er to file separate returns or a
oint return. The Government will
'igure it both ways and bill the
lusband and wife the cheapest
way.

time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)

MOTORMAN GETS SHOCK
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 31.—
(UP)—People lose everything, but
when a motorman loses his street
car, that is news of a sort. When
a fire truck and automobile crash
ed, several streetcars lined up be
cause of the delay, so one motor
man got out to see what it was all
about. He came back, only to find
his car gone! Flagging a ride in an
automobile, he and the motorist
went in search of the lost street
car. He found it at a switch to
which it had been moved by other
company employees.
