YOUNG Marilyn MAXWELL, KEY CiTY BUGS BUNNY NEWS 9a is STATESMAN, AUSTIN, TEXAS Saturday, March 11, 1950 Small Nash Predicted Next Month BL DAVID J. WILKIE Associated Press Auto Editor DETROIT, March 11-(P)-Nash's new Rambler car should be ready for public introduction next month. The Rambler is the new smaller model with which Nash is going after business in the lower price field.

Details still are being held by the Nash management, but it is fairly well understood the new vehicle will be a ger model. on a 100-inch wheelbase and powered with an 82 horsepower engine. Since they gave up their own plans for smaller, lightweight cars early in the postwar perioa, General Motors and Ford have displayed little outward interest in such units. Nevertheless, the entire industry is going to watch the reaction to Nash's Rambler. Unlike Kaiser-Frazer, also planning a smaller model, Nash did not show the Rambler at the recent Chicago Auto Show.

It plans a vigorous promotion drive, however, when all its dealers have been supplied Like with other the models unit. in the pine, the the single new unit economy body car and will chassis be construction. Industry observers who have seen it describe it as presenting a low. graceful silhouette and of less than 2 2,500 pounds overall weight. Like the yet-to-be-named KaiserFrazer smaller model, the Rambler will seat three persons in front and two in the rear.

Access to its luggage compartment from the back of the car. In the K-F smaller model the luggage compartment is reached from the inside of the vehicle. Many industry observers agree with Nash and K-F sales chiefs that there should be a substantial market for cars of the type they have in the new smaller units. They base this view on increasing inquiries, mostly from young people planning to buy their first automobiles. The main objective in bringing out smaller, lighter weight cars, of course, is to get prices down where they will attract more buyers, and to provide more economy of operation.

Price tags for the Nash and K-F smaller models have not yet been disclosed. All that has been said about prices far is that the new cars will be priced below the lowest priced Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth models. A substantially lower price for the two new models has been indicated by Nash and K-F. Both have said they expect their new cars to take a lot of business from the used cars lots. Whether the average car buyer would prefer new car or a late model size vehicle stamaller has been debated in industry circles ever since plans for the new 100- inch wheelbase models were disclosed.

Promotion of the the smaller Nash and K-F cars will put considerable emphasis on gasoline mileage. A minimum of 35 miles per gallon is expected. Nash and K-F sales executives say the mileage possibilities will be of especial importance to buyers in the price range of the new models.

Slip the Rumor to Me, Junior; I'll Believe Now NEW YORK, March Slip the rumor to me, junior. Did you see 8 bird flying backward? You say a lion stopped you in the street and wanted to know what subway to take to Boyle the How's Bronx that? Zoo? You Notes just trapped three men from Mars in Boyle Notes BY HAL BOYLE without skin, flesh, scales or feath- ers. A reporter asked a well known atomic scientist if he believed the rumor, and he replied: "I wouldn't say I disbelieved it. Anything is possible." And so it is. If two pollywogeyed creatures in green armor knocked on my door and said, "We just landed from the planet Venus," I wouldn't call them liars.

I'd just hand them the keys to the apartment and say, "Let me know when you get out of here." Can the H-bomb destroy, the world? One eminent scientists says, "Yes." Another says, "Pooh!" Is a murder defendant crazy or sane? One psychiatrist testifies he's a Bluebeard and a second psychiatrist says he's batty as a belfry. Will anti-histamines cure the common cold? There're experts on both sides. That's the trouble nowadays. The world has gone beyond the understanding of the common man, and whom can he trust when the experts quarrel among themselves? So, junior, I won't deny you saw the backward-flying bird, the lion on the street, or shot from Mars. I won't disbelieve anything.

But just don't to get excited about your marvels. The old man is worn out with marvels he can't comprehend. It might be a good idea to have a five-year moratorium on them till we can all catch up. Fort Worth Chief Asks 30 New Cops FORT WORTH, March Addition of 30 beat patrolmen was proposed Thursday by Police Chief George T. Hawkins as a measure Porto combatting Worth.

increasing crime in Hawkins made his estimate in the wake of a City Council directive for a study of police manpower needs. Hawkins said there was a need for more foot patrolmen "to clean up the downtown area at least." He said he would like to see enough beat patrolmen to fill afternoon and night shifts. The study will be made by City Manager W. O. Jones.

HERE'S FARM INCOME DOPE In the following article. second of a series of three on the income tax. Felix Cotten discusses the various problems of special groups among the nation's taxpayers. who must meet the deadline of midnight of March 15. BY FELIX COTTEN WASHINGTON.

March 45 million persons filing annual income tax returns now receive salaries or wages and most of the remaining eight million are in business for themselves. Of the latter total, approximately two and one-half million are farmers. All farmers who have a gross income of $600 or more a year are required to file an annual income tax return and a declaration of estimated tax. Proprietors, including farmers, present special tax problems. Internal revenue officials point out, however, that all are subject to the basic principles of income tax law, which are that a taxpayer pays on his income, less expenses incurred in producing the income and the allowable deductions, credits, etc.

Due to his peculiar situation, the farmer is allowed special considerations. If he expects two-thirds of his income to be derived from farming. he may postpone filing his annual declaration of estimated tax until Jan. 15 of the year following that in which it is earned. He should pay the estimated tax then, and then file his final return by March 15.

But if he can file his final return and pay the actual tax by Jan. 31, he can postpone filing his declaration until that time. Thus killing two birds with one stone. Farmers are required to report as income payments from the government, as well as cash from crop sales and profits from buying and selling. They may deduct expenses, but must list them in detail.

In some cases, farmers use accrual and inventory methods in determining income. The basic principle in dealing with inventories is the difference in value at the beginning and end of the year. Businessmen and other self-employed persons have to get in their declarations of estimated tax for the coming year by March 15, along with their final returns for the preceding year. This declaration and the accompanying estimated tax installments are subject to correction through the year as income varies. Officials explain that persons who expect $100 or more of outside income, over and above that for which the tax is withheld by employers, are required to file declarations and to pay installments through the year.

This also applies to taxpayers whose incomes are above a certain level.

Do I believe you, son? Well, let me put it to you this way--I don't disbelieve you. I no longer disbelieve anybody or anything. The age of mug certainty is gone.

Wonder has piled upon wonder so fast in our lifetime that few of us have any disbelief left. It takes a brave or foolhardy man indeed today to say "that's impossible." Tomorrow he may be proved wrong and a doltish oaf. Mankind seems to have lost its anchors and is drifting helterskelter before capricious winds of change and uncertainty. Faith has lost its feathers, and authority is a broken reed. About all a man can be sure of is that if he steps aboard a certain bus he'll end up home.

But about that bus driver a few years back who started out on his regular route here and ended up in Florida? Nope, you just can't know nothing for certain. There is no basket left you can put your into and count on getting all 12 back again. Take that story by dynamite salesman about the wreckage of a space ship being found in Mexico piloted by a gent only 23 inches tall. The Air Force says, "There is no evidence to support the existence of any interplanetary machines." But you will note that the Air Force doesn't rule out the possibility. It can't-it may to fight space ships some So chave may the Navy.

As a mater of fact, the rumor of an interplanetary space ship having crashed on the North American continent has been floating around Manhattan for months. According to the version I heard, it hit in the Southwest and the bodies of "things" about three feet high were found. The "things" were supposed to have been living beings, but this level is $4.500, plus $600 for each dependent. Thus it is $5,700 for a man and wife, $6,300 for a man, wife and one child and $6,900 for a man, wife and two children. The reason given is that at this level the withholding tax is insufficient to cover Finest the tax due.

Veterans present a special situation. They may deduct anything received under the GI Bill of Rights, and bonuses paid by states. The 2.8 billion dollar life insurance dividend which is being paid to veterans this year is exempt from tax. All pensions payable by the Veterans' Administration are tax exempt. However, civil service retirement pensions are taxable, minus what the employes put The same is true of all non-contributory pensions and regular Army and Navy retirement pay.

There is one exception to the latter. If retirement is for disability, the payments are not taxable, All social security and railroad retirement payments are tax exempt.
