CUT YOUR OWN TAXES: 8 Interest you pay pays off for you By RAY DE CRANE NEA One of the greatest joys of home ownership is realized at income tax filing time. A real glow of satisfaction spreads over the face of the otherwise grumbling taxpayer as he spreads out on the desk in front of him a pile of 12 mortgage payment receipts. As he scans each receipt he copies down just one figure from each slip and then carefully adds the 12 entries. He is eagerly totaling the interest he paid during 1964 on his home mortgage and for just that one night he wishes it were even higher. For every penny of his interest charges if fully deductible on his income tax return.

Home owners who are paying off a sizable mortgage usually elect to itemize their deductions instead of selecting either of the two options the standard deduction which allows 10 per cent of income up to a maximum of $1,000, or the new minimum standard deduction which permits a settlement of $200 plus $100 for each exemption. While mortgage interest usually is the biggest interest item when deductions are being totaled there are many other kinds of interest, all of which can be used to reduce the amount of tax you will pay. Did you buy a new or used car on time last year? Borrow from a bank, savings and loan, credit union or finance company to consolidate debts, improve your home or buy new furniture? If so, the interest paid on the use of the you Boy, 8, shot, killed by neighbor, 5 PHILADELPHIA (AP) Beatrice Daily Sun, Beatrice, Nebr. Jan. 14, 1963 One joy of homeowning money is deductible.

How about a loan for a college student's tuition? Interest paid to Internal Revenue for late payment on last year's taxes? These amounts, also, are fully deductible. Carrying charges and service charges on many types of installment payments pose a problem for many taxpay ers. Where the actual amount of interest is not shown on such a contract Internal Revenue will allow as interest 6 per cent of the average monthly balance. Here is how to arrive at this allowable interest figure when preparing your own tax return: Gather together all your monthly statements from department stores, finance companies Joseph H.

CONOM Jallhouse I Rock JETS DOWNED IN LAOS U.S. air strikes aimed at reinforcement lines By FRED S.

HOFFMAN WASHINGTON (AP) U.S. fighter-bombers have been smashing at Communist supply and reinforcement lines running through Laos for at least a month, government sources said today. Wednesday's strike which cost the United States two Air Force jets bore down on Route 7, key segment of a road and tra'1 network feeding both the Red Pathet Lao in Central Laos and the Communist guerrillas in South Viet Nam. American authorities refused to say anything publicly beyond the terse announcement that an F100 Supersabre and an F105 Thunderchief were shot down Central Laos by ground fire. Defense Department spokesman Arthur Sylvester declined to discuss the type of a mission the two jets were flying.

Pilots Rescued Later it was reported that the pilot of the F105, Capt. Albert C. Vollmer of Denton, and Henrietta, N.Y., had been rescued. And early, today the Pentagon announced that the F100 pilot, Capt. Charles L.

Ferguson of Clovis, N.M, and Parma, Idaho, had been "successfully recovered and was all right." At first Ferguson was reported missing. Four Navy and Air Force jets were shot down over Laos prior to Wednesday's losses. Each was either conducting photo reconnaissance or escorting planes taking pictures of Red supply roads and trails. For week, the Communists Chinese and North Vietnamese have been claiming that U.S. air and sea forces have been raiding Communist territory.

The U.S. government ly is not ready to acknowledge that its war planes are in combat outside the borders of South Viet Nam. The degree of escalation of the war still is rather low. The issue of whether it will be stepped up further possibly to strike at production and supply centers, rail lines and military bases inside Viet Nam is in doubt. American Planes So far, sources said, the air strikes against supply lines leading from North Viet Nam through Laos have been ducted chiefly by American planes, with some activity by Laotian-piloted aircraft.

The South Vietnamese air force has not yet taken part in these operations, the sources said. There was no word here on what downed the F100 and F105. But it is known that there are Obituary Donald Albert Kahler Donald Albert Kahler was born Aug. 13, 1931, in Wakefield, Neb. He was killed instantly Dec.

10, 1964, in a car automobile accident in Beatrice, Neb. He was 33 years, 3 months and 28 days of age. At the age of 11, he was placed into the care of the Tabitha Home of Lincoln, Neb. When he was 13, he was taken into the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Talk about escalating the war reached a pitch by the time Ambassador Maxwell D. Taylor came here in late November from Saigon to confer with President Johnson, Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara and Secretary of State Dean Rusk.

Taylor was reported to have proposed escalating the war in a bid to choke off North Vietnamese support for the Communist insurgents in South Viet Narn. The raids on the supply routes through Laos apparently began about the time he returned to Viet Nam in early December. Our Boarding Hous Major Hoopla (TO HEAR HIM TELL IT MUST BE GREAT CAESAR!

Many home mortgage notes contain a penalty clause which calls for the payment of an additional interest charge if the mortgage is paid off prematurely, generally within five or 10 years after the mortgage is entered into. Such accelerated payments are, not common in most households but the rule can apply should the home be sold within the penalty period. For at the time of the sale mortgage is fully paid off through the funds placed in escrow. you sold your home last year and you still had a sizable mortgage on it, better check your escrow statement. If you paid a penalty for early discharge of the mortgage this is additional interest which you may deduct on your tax return.

"In recent years we have seen a tremendous shift in the demand for our product," Jones said. Department stores accounted for 41 percent of deliveries last year comparwith 43 percent for variety stores. A few years ago the great preponderance of store fixture orders were to stores in the variety field.
