Between 40 and 50 per cent of Western Pennsylvania taxpayers lall In this category annually, according to District Director, John H. Binglcr, the Pittsburgh office of the Internal Revenue Service. "We're glad to receive returns, "Mr.

Bingler declared. "Most of them can be processed pretty quickly and refund checks sent on their way back to these alert filers. But we'd also like to gel some ot Ihnt same cooperalion from 'two other classes of taxpayers--those who owe nothing, and those who owe a few dollars. "We suggest that every taxpayer, and especially those who spent during large sums that might be deductible, compute his lax both ways, by taking the standard deduction and by itemizing deductions-- Ihcn file in under Ihe method which is to his advantage. The taxpayer who does that now, even if he finds he owes a few dollars, will be pulling Jjehind him a task which he must find easier lo look back on than forward to.

"The taxpayer can be more certain of his monthly, seasonal or annual budgel with this duly behind him. His financial planning is more assured. We also stand to benefit by being able to process more returns while awaiting the inevitable last-minute rush of mail and other deadline pressures. As in many other things Involving the relationship of taxpayers and the revenue service, we can help each other."

First reports said five persons were killed, but the Turkish Transport Ministry said there were only two known dead.

More than 250 passengers from Istanbul were aboard the Izmir when it nnd the Howell Lykes coIliucL in the narrow passage at he harbor mouth.

Changes In State Coal 7 ields Seen UN1VERSITV PARK, -he bituminous rral mining in- ustry in Pennsylvania has un- ergone marked changes in haracter during recent years, xplains Dr.

Phyllis H. Griess, ssistant prplessor of geogra- hy at the Pennsylvania State Jniversity. 'Because these changes have ot been uniform throughout he coal field, what was formers' an homogeneous mining ro- ion has now become two re- ions, each with distinctive haraclcrislics," Dr. Griess says. The southern area is exper- encing a marked decline in reduction.

Coal in this" section lill is derived chiefly from arge-scale underground mines. Output per minqr is lov, wages re high, but work-years are tiort, accidents are relatively rcquent, and railroads are em- loyed to transport the bulk coal. In short," says Dr. Griess, the southern area retains the haractcrislics of (the coal min- ng industry or pre-Wond War 1 days." In contrast, the northern area onslilutes what might be called ho "dynamic bituminous coal mining region." this sec- ion, production is either in- reasing or suffering only a modest decline, mining has hilled significantly from un- ergrounil operations to more ucrative slrip mining, tonnage production per is high mining costs arc low, wages are relatively low, but underem- DlOymcM is not serious, major ccidenls are rare, and trucks re replacing railroads as con- cyors of coal. "Consequently, the northern egion unlike the southern sec- ion, bears little resemblance to he industry as existed prior the lasl uar," Dr.
