W-2 Forms Must be
Attached to Tax Returns
The W-2 withholding tax state
ment is one of the most important
documents of a federal income
tax return, District Director Lewis
J. Conrad of the Internal Rev
enue said.
“Since most taxpayers were
subject to withholding during
1960, attachment of Form W-2 is
obviously required to complete
the return,” Mr. Conrad said.
In a joint return, where both
husband and wife worked, the
W-2’s for each must be attached,
he said.
When either or both parties to
a return held more than one job
during 1960, all W-2’s must be
attached, he added.
“Refunds cannot be paid with
out required W-2’s, credit cannot
be given for taxes withheld, aid
failure to include the statement
will mean return of the incom
plete form to the taxpayer, with
the possibility of consequent late
filing and interest or other
charges being added,” Mr. Con
rad said.

LT. GEN, GAVIN NAMED
AMBASSADOR TO PARIS
WASHINGTON, UP»— President
Kennedy has chosen James Gavin
as U.S. Ambassador to Paris, re
liable sources report.
Official nomination of the 53
year-old retired Army Lieutenant
General apparently awaits only i
the formality of clearance by the
French government.
French Village
Adopts American
Serviceman
PONT L’EVEQUE, France GTV—
This little Normandy town has
adopted an American GI and has
appealed to President Kennedy to
let him stay in France to complete
his education.
The GI, incidentally, happens
to be a mainstay on the local
basketball team. He is SP4 John
H. Givens, 24, of Milwaukee, Wis.
Givens, stationed with the Army
Aerial Support Center at nearby
St. Andre, warmed up to his
French surroundings almost from
the moment he arrived in De
cember 1959. It was through his
basketball skill that he became
acquainted in Pont L’Eveque.
Givens had played on YMCA
and high school basketball teams
in Milwaukee and found a spot
as a forward on the local Army
squad. He soon was hooping bas
kets in Pont L’Eveque and in
early 1960 got taken on as center
or forward.
Local families set aside a room
for him on game nights and he
eats at the family table. His
French developed to the point
where conversation flows easily.
Everything was going well un
til Givens announced he was
booked to return to the States
next June. The local citizentry,
unknown to Givens, got together
and Bernard Chauviere, president
of the Pont L’Eveque Sports
Union, drafted a letter to Presi
dent and Mrs. Kennedy.
“Mr. Givens epitomizes the
friendship of France and the
United States,” Chauviere wrote,
and then he added two requests:
I. That Givens be given a grant
so he can study at the nearby Uni
| versity of Caen after he com
j pletes his military service in
France.
j 2. That Mrs. Kennedy become
j the sponsor of the Pont L’Eveque
i basketball team.
The letter was sent to the
American Embassy in Paris and
was forwarded to the State De
partment for the White House.
“This all came as big surprise
to me,” Givens told a reporter.
“I don’t know what to say.”
