Jewish Serretarv’s of State, and
“Catholic Hberals” could not be
happy or secure. I was aware of
the disparity between this man
and my 15 month old son, who
knows nothing of fear, hate, and
racial differences. And 1 wonder
ed, I wondered what happens in
twenty-three short years. What
process is involved in the creation
of such bitterness. I found myself
trying to think of explanations but
none were profound or complete
enough to explain how someone
chooses to be bitter, elects to
dedicate his life to hate, and
decides to expend energy so
destructively.
While trying to analyze this man
so I could make some sense of him
- 1 wondered how another man, a
Martin Luther King, would
respond. King’s strength was in
his uncompromising care for
others, his ability to love people
and at the same time tell them
they were wrong. I supposed that
he would love a Grand Dragon
while maintaining the “wrong
ness” of such an uncaring, scared,
chaoitic stance.
What particularly unsettles my
thinking is that in the last several
weeks I've met a number of young
men who seem quite like the
“Dragon". They are intelligent,
articulate, successful. They are
bitter, cynical and suspicious.
They are politically involved. They
seek to undo much of the caring
legislation of recent years, I
wonder if this is a significant
trend.
As you see, my questions do not
have easy answers. My questions
seek to raise my own conscious
ness and yours. My questions
cause me to challenge my own
attitudes and I hope, yours.
I’here is some discomfort for
those of us who have chosen
political action in reconciling all
this. 1 do seek to discover (in order
of respond) to the needs of a
diverse group. Yet I have my own
integrity and person-hood to
maintain. Communicating care
with support is easy. Communica
ting care when you can not support
is difficult. Communicating care
when you want to win (which
means defeating someone else) is
an even greater task. This is a task
that I take seriously; it is
challenge which I will continue to
deal with.
Greensboro --Tlie Inter
nal Revenue Service is
getting ready to issue some
60 million tax refunds to
Amcrieans. The problem is
to get taxpayers started
early enough to file tor
these refunds.
“Early enough,'' says
Charles O. DeWitt, District
Director of Internal Reve
nue for North Carolina,”
means January. This year
taxpayers who file in
January should get their
refunds in four to six
weeks. After January,
they’ll probably have to
wait eight to ten weeks,”
The reason for the delay
in issuing refunds to late
filers, DeWitt explains, is
that most taxpayers tend to
put off doing their tax
returns, with the result that
work piles up at the service
center where they are
processed.
‘‘It stands to reason,”
DeWitt points out, ‘‘that
our Memphis Service
Center can process returns
and approve refunds much
faster when workloads are
light -- as in January. It
would be a good idea for
anyone who would like an
early refund to start getting
his records together now,”
Even taxpayers who are
still waiting for their W-2
forms or perhaps their
interest or mortgage state
ments froi.i their bank
ought to start getting their
otncr records together now
so that they can file as soon
as the documents arrive,
DeWitt advises.
■'It’s your money,” he
says. ‘‘The law says you're
entitled to it now, so why
wait? Get your refund as
soon as you can.”
With bills for Christmas
gifts arriving, many tax
payers agree. Interest on
charge accounts add up,
but the money the IRS
holds earns none.
In urging taxpayers to
file in January, DeWitt
refutes the common but
erroneous belief that early
returns are scrutinized
more closely at IRS service
centers because there is
more time to devote to each
individual return. This line
of thinking, DeWitt says,
leads these same taxpayers
to conclude incorrectly that
early returns are more
likely to be audited by the
IRS than later ones.
‘‘This just isn't so,” says
DeWitt. ‘‘No matter when
you file your return - Jan. 1,
March 11, April 15 - your
return undergoes the same
processing at our service
centers. We hire thousands
of temporary employees
each filing season and we
train them to process all
returns the same way.”
DeWitt also explains
that, in auditing returns,
the IRS now uses what it
calls a “Discriminant
Function” (DIF) program
to select returns for
examination. Through the
use of computers, all
individual returns are
classified by the same
procedures. Mathematical
formulas are used to rank
returns by error potential.
‘‘Many taxpayers who
wait until late March or
April fail to read the
instructions completely - or
they make an error in
arithmetic.”

FRED GUIDRY’S THREE SONS
WILL EARN MORE IN 1973 THAN
HE HAS EARNED FOR 200YEARS.
It's not unusual to find three college grad
uates in the same American family. Unless its a
family from Opelousas. Louisiana, right in the
center of rural black America.
Fred Guidry has been a sawmill worker
since 19v33. earning at most $2400 a year He's
locked in a 200 year-old cycle of poverty,
ignorance and prejudice that seems almost
unbreakable.
But his sons broke out.
For openers. Jarries. Fred and Larry grad
uated from Xavier University. New Orleans, in
’68,69 and 72.
After a year with IBM, James joined the
Los Alamos FVoject, earned an M. S, in Com
puter Sciences and is now at Carnegie-Mellon
studying Urban Affairs.
Fred researches solar physics at NASA's
Goddard Space Right Center.
Larry will return to his Ph. D. studies in
chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh after
completing his hitch with Ui;icle Sam.
Fred Guidry's three sons have an earning
potential he only dreamed of. But they might
never have made it without the United Negro
College Fund
We support Xavier and 39 other private
colleges that help 45.000 students break out of
the rural backwaters and urban ghettos of this
country and into 20th century America.
■ We know there's a place for them. We know
we can help them find it. All we need is money.
Yours-
A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste.
