will remain open until! 9 o'clock tonight and until midnight Saturday, deadline for filing a declaration of estimated tax for 1944, L. J. Howard, deputy in charge, announced Thursday. He pointed out that single, or married persons not living together, who earn $2,700 this year, and have other additional income, must file. Others in the lower income bracket, who receive $100 or more other sources, such as rents, interest, dividends or annuities, and whose total income is expected to amount to $500 or more must file.

The exemption for single persons is still $500. One-fourth of the tax on the estimated income must accompany the declaration, and must be filed before midnight Saturday to avoid penalty. The other, payments are due June 15, and Dec. 15. The regular returns must be filed on March 15, 1945, Mr.

Howard added. There has been much confusion about this declaration, Mr. Howard said, adding that the office had not been overcrowded as it was for the March 15 filing, probably due to the fact that this tax follows so closely on the heels of the last tax period deadline.

'On His Toes' By NEA Service WASHINGTON, April was the youngest full admiral in the Navy, 57-year-old Raymond Ames Spruance, who was in overall command of air and amphibious forces which have scored two series of sensational victories in the Pacific.

In February, his ships and planes knocked off Kwajalein and Roi, then Eniwetok. And a few days ago, reaching within 550 miles of the Philippines in a series of raids, his forces rolled up the greatest success since the battle of Midway. Spruance had been confirmed as a full Buadmiral, only on February 10. brilliant strategy, catching the Japs ilat-footed, he proved his right to wear four stars. As a vice-admiral, he had shown his tactical skill in all the operations of the Central Pacific.

He was in command at Tarawa and Makin in the seizure of the Gilberts. Beore that, he was out of the news for over a year. He had been in command of a task force at the Battle of Midway, in the late summer of 1942, when a big Jap invasion force was caught and turned back with heavy losses. He got a Distinguished Service Medal for that, but along with it he was appointed chief of staff to Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, and he had to give up his bridge for an office in Honolulu.

But it was there that he worked out the plans which he himself was to carry out as commanderin-chief at the Gilbert and Marshall Islands invasions, and later in the attacks on Palau, Yap, Woleai and Ulithi. For his job at the Gilberts he was awarded a Gold Star in lieu of a second DSM. Among Navy men Admiral Spruance is rated highest as a Admiral Raymond A. Spruance. master tactician.

Unlike most of the higher officers in the Pacific area, he is not an airman, but his handling of combined amphibious and air forces has set the pattern for all such operations. He is of medium height. His eyes have the gray of the sea and his strong face tan that goes with service in the tropics. He drives all the time, himself as well as his men. He is restless, pacing up and down an office when he is ashore, doing five miles or more on deck when he is at sea.

When he does relax, to sit in a chair, it is usually while he is listening to a recorded symphony. came up through the Navy with considerable service as an engineer officer. Appointed to Annapolis 1903, although his father had tried to interest him in West Point, he saw his first service on the old Iowa. Then he was assigned for engineering instruction. He was made a lieutenant commander in 1917, and during part of the war was executive officer on the USS Agamemnon, hauling troops back from France.

That was interesting, he once confided, but no way for a fighting man to make a living. There followed the usual run of assignments given Navy officers as part of their training and experience to fit them for any situation. He finally commanded the USS Mississippi, his first battleship captaincy, in, 1938. Outbreak the Second World War found him in Puerto Rico as head of the new 10th Naval District. He didn't get to Pearl Harbor until early in 1942, but there he saw the wreckage of Pearl Harbor rebuilt into the greatest fleet ever to put to sea, with himself as its commander.

Admiral Spruance was born in Baltimore, but his permanent home ashore is in Indianapolis. His wife and their daughter Margaret, ATLANTIC TITLE COMPANY 116 S. Olive Ave. Phone 5434 TITLE INSURANCE ABSTRACTS OF TITLE ESCROW SERVICE Agents For Lawyers Title Insurance Corp. Richmond, Va.

It was all "a huge mistake," Abelardo Luis Rodriguez, 25, said with a grin last night when informed by the Associated Press of a dispatch from London which proclaimed him missing after participation in an air raid over Germany with the U.

S. 8th Airforce. Rodriguez, whose father is now Governor of Sonora, said his mother was notified about a month ago that he had been killed in action in Europe. That report, he added, probably referred to the same person mentioned in Wednesday's London dispatch. A test pilot for North American Aviation Rodriguez has never served in the U.
