TAXES SHOWN are for a man with a $5,000 a year income and two dependent children. The 1943
peak supposes that the taxpayer chose to pay all the taxes in a lump sum in shifting to the
pay-as-you-go method. He might have postponed part of it to the following year.
YOUR INCOME TAX
SELF-EMPLOYED?
- <3
(Last of Six Articles on How to
Make Out Your Federal Income
Tax Formd
By FRANCIS J. KELLY
WASHINGTON — Many self
employed persons must pay an
additional tax on their incomes,
for Social Security tax purposes.
It is due, along with the regu
lar income tax, by March 15.
This additional tax must be
paid by every self-employed per
son covered by social security if
his net earnings from self-em
ployment last year were $400 or
more. There’s no choice about it:
if you come within that category !
you owe the tax.
However, several large groups j
of persons are excluded from |
social security coverage. These j
include farmers, railroad work
ers, public officials, lawyers, doc
tors, dentists, osteopaths, chiro
practors, optometrists, funeral di
rectors, fcu'ofessional engineers,
clergymen and public account
ants.
This special tax for self - em
ployed persons is 2 Vi per cent of
net earnings from self - employ
ment. The maximum amount that
can be taxed is $3,600 a year,
which means a top of $81.
When Income Is Split
What if part of your income
was from self - employment and
part from a job covered by social
security from which the old age
and survivors insurance tax was
withheld?
As an example, a man might
have had $2,000 income from a
covered job and $3,000 from self
employment. The social security
tax already would have been j

Sulphur-Laden London
Fogs Causes Death Rate
To Double Normal Figure
LONDON, \ff\— Normally easy
going London is finally getting
really riled up about one of its
long-time winter complaints—the
city’s famous pea soup fogs.
In the last three months, four
big sulphur-laden smog blankets
have led to an estimated 6,000
deaths and seriously crippled
communications in the world’s
largest capital.
"During one week in December,
when the worst fog in recent
memory muffled the city, the
death rate jumped by 2,000 per
sons — more than doubling the
normal figure for the period.
The squeeze on the airlines is
so bad that they are pressing the
British government, which runs
the airports, to bring back the
war - time fog disposal system
known as “fido.”
Under this system, gasoline or
diesel oil is set afire in blazing
rows alongside aihport runways.
The heat shifts the fog.
87 Men .and One Officer
Of 65th Regiment Refuse
Go Into Action in Korea
SEOUL, Uft — The Army Satur
day said 87 men and one officer
of the 65th Regiment have been
convicted of refusing to go into
action last October against the
Communists. Puerto Rican sol
diers make up the bulk of the 65th
Regiment. It has some troops
from the continental U.S.
Four other men were acquitted
in general court martial, said Maj.
ision public information officer.
Walter B. McMullen, U.S. 3d Div
The cases involved men who
either left a battle scene without
orders or refused to advance.
Sentences ranged from six
months to 10 years of hard labor
in prison. Only one man received
a full ten-year sentence.
Most were given dishonorable
discharges. Some "were given bad
conduct discharges and two sol
diers were given prison terms
without discharge.
McMullen said the charges grew
out of an action in which two
companies were ordered to coun-.
terattack a Chinese position. Af
ter the companies reached their
objective, a number of men with
drew without orders.
The major said the entire regi
ment was pulled out of the line
after the incident and ‘restrained.’
The i-egiment since has been back
on the front lines and performed
well.
The 65th Regiment has fought
in Korea since November, 1950,
and compiled a long and honor
able fighting record.
