'I WILL BURN MY W-2 FORM 9 How Not to Dodge Income Taxes A lot of citizens were probably mad when they read that William Davidon, the Haverford College professor who has been vocal in his opposition to the war in Viet Nam and all other conflicts, is refusing to pay his income tax. I am not mad. I am jealous. It was my intention this year to pay no income tax.

I agree with Davidon that if you think the government is doing criminal things you have a responsibility to withdraw your financial aid. I feel that our government docs many criminal things. My definition of a criminal thing is a federal program which uses my tax dollar to assist some social, financial or occupational sector of our society of which I am not a member. FOR INSTANCE, if the Federal Aid to Journalists Act, which asked Congressman Watkins to sponsor, is ever passed, I doubt very much that I would consider it criminal. On the other hand, 1 consider Social Security criminal and this new G.I.

Bill, which discriminates against men who risked their lives for six months in the service, extremely criminal. This is why envy Davidon. He said he won't pay. I also said I wouldn't pay. wrote a letter to Internal Revenue Service and said I was sorry but I considered the government criminal and 1 wasn't going to pay this year.

A GUY WROTE back and said he was even sorrier bul their records indicated I had already paid 82,000 in weekly withholding and if I refused to file a return, I would be cheating myself out of my refund. I wrote back and said this was unfair, that I had sincere objections to the way this country was run and if I didn't get my back I would go out and burn my W-2 form. He wrote back and said although the federal government recognized and respected the right of every citizen to protest government policies in a peaceful and orderly manner, if I burned my W-2 form I wouldn't be able to get my refund back. I was angry now at this bureaucratic doubletalk and I went to see the boss and told him to stop withholding taxes from my pay. He said I'd have to talk to the top accountant, which I did.

I told him I didn't want my taxes withheld anymore and he told me to talk to the girl who handled that. She wanted to know why. "I'M AGAINST Medicare," I said. "Why?" she said. "Don't you think old people who can't afford expensive medical treatment are entitled to participate in our great society?" "Everybody's gotta go sometime," I said.

"They should have Medicare for the young, when they can really use it. I'm also against federal aid to education." "Is there federal aid lo education?" asked. "There must be," I said. "There's federal aid to everything else. I don't want to help train kids to read and write so some day they put me out of a job." "How do you feel about Viet a she asked.

"I'm confused about it," I said. "That will make the President feel good," she said. "He's been trying to drum up support for his position." IN THE END I sat down with the publisher and special tax experts and a man I think they called Rusk and they all said they sympathized with me and agreed with my basic positions on everything, but that there is no way to stop withholding taxes. Scientists had been working on the problem for years and had even tried not withholding taxes from mice but as yet had not solved the secret of the thing. "What about Davidon?" I screamed.

"He's not paying!" "In all likelihood," said one of the experts, "if he has a job, he has already paid. Perhaps the man is confused." would be out of order by not approving the plans, because present zoning permits such a store. COUNTY AID In another discussion, the board authorized the application for county aid funds for construction of curbs, sidewalks and reconstruction of Lovell Avenue from Media Line Road south about 1,600 feet. Harry Morris, 2062 Lovell presented a petition signed by 40 neighbors, who opposed the project. Morris said no one in the vicinity was told about the forthcoming improvements and how they wouid affect their property- Berkowitz said the improvements were needed because 181 school children walked to school in the area and the work must be done.

RESIDENTS' COST When the discussion turned to the cost to residents, who will pay only for the sidewalk work, 1st Ward Commissioner Hugo Manzi, recalled the price was $2.72 per running foot on a similar project. In other action, the board designated May 1 as Thomas Massey Day and the week of May 1-S as Thomas Massey Week. There will be a program at 2 p.m. May 1 in the Massey home. April 15 was designated Local Government Day.

Residents may visit the township that day..
