If they have opposition, it is likely to be from some resident of one of the larger cities. This Is a familiar pattern throughout the country. Both Wilmington and Fayetleville are larger than Lumber- People In Review emption. And you get the usual $600 exemption, for' each dependent.

This year, for the first time, sell-employed people begin paying a Social Security tax. To do they must use a special form, call- ton. So, when thc Seventh district has a Lumberton confessed Jgch It you don have as it now it is hardly surprising that someone from Fayelteville makes a.bid for the seme office. Tally Jr. of Fayetteville has announced his candidacy for the office held by.

Representative F. Ertel Carlyle. A young man; at 31, Mr. Talley has set his sights high. He is energetic and ambitious, and has the distinction of being one of the youngest mayors Fayetteville ever has had.

As one of his prime he has named the development of the Port of Wilmington and the Cape Fear River. But a man serving his third term in Congress has prestige and contacts that cannot be established oversight. When he has been returned to Congress by the voters for of years, his fellow-congressmen look upon him as a man to reckon with. this Schedule get it from your nearest collector. The tax Is 2Vi per cent of the first $3,600 of income.

This Social Security lax on the self-employed is, of course, in addition to thc regular income tax. There's 9 rule for those who, employed by others, had Social Security tax withheld from their pay check. The tax on the employed is per cent on the first $3,800 of income, or a a i of $54 a year. IK the past if too much Social Security tax was. withheld from your paycheck--because, perhaps, He no longer is a freshman learning the ropes, but an upper- ou worked for more than one employer--you could get a refund classman with spme standing.

Other factors being equal, the veteran congressman has a better chance of obtaining projects for his district than the newcomer. He has had occasion to work before with other congressmen, whom he must look to for support of the bills he proposes. Single-handed, a congressman can do very little, no matter $500 income could be claim- how his activities. He must depend on his colleagues ed as a dependent. only by.

While no one with less than $600 incofne has to f(le return, until now no one with more lor support. And that support is obtained only after his colleagues have learned from experience that they can depend on him. It can be taken for granted that the voters in efcch congressional district something.

If a new congressional district were created in North Carolina, its representative could be expected to propose federal benefits for his district, as matter of course. But other congressmen'would be inclined to wait and see whether he had thc continuing confidence and support of the people in his district, expressed at the polls. The Seventh congressional district is not new, and it has a record of long-term representation by thc same congressman, year after year. Mr. Carlylc has begun to be identified with that pattern.

His fellow-congressmen can give him their backing, in the confident belief that he will be there later, to support them in proposals ot their own. This is a prospect no newcomer can match, however personable he may be. DELAYED REFUNDS Income tax refund checks, owing to many North Carolinians, hfvc been accumulating in Greensboro, and a search is being made for the taxpayers who have these funds due them. The probable reason so many of these persons have not been found is that the refunds have been so long delayed, giving the taxpayers time to move to different addresses. The delay can be accounted for by the fact that most tax payments become due on one date, so that thousands of citizens load the mails with their checks about the same time.

This piles up the work in collectors' offices, and results in a long time lag before the last return is checked. One effect of this delay is that the taxpayer who receives a refund has nearly forgotten thc payment on which it is based, looks upon the refund almost as a gift. If the taxpayer who gets the refund has had the tax deducted from his pay each week or month, he is less conscious of the big take from his earnings, because it is so gradual. But even the refunds would help only a little if his entire tax becomes due and none has been paid. The comparative ease of making tax payments by thc pay roll deduction plan is pointed up in the popular saying that the quickest way to bring about a change in government would be to abandon pay roll deductions.

the majority of citizens hau to make a lump sum payment of their income tax, after getting full pay for a year, so many would be caught short that enforcement of the tax law would become virtually impossible, and the government would be as broke as the taxpayer. o--------CUPPED COMMENT Prime Minuter Churchill is to visit President Truman early fan Jinuiry--before the Santa Glaus season is too far (RaO News-Press.

Until now, no one could deduct for medical expenses unless they exceeded five per cent of his income. And then he could deduct for only that part which exceeded per cent.

This rule has changed a bit. Now a taxpayer--if he or his wife is 65 or older--can deduct the entire amount of expanses for the care of both. But such a taxpayer can't do this if his dependents had thc medicid expense. Profit on sale of a home.

By HEI.MAX iMOHIX (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK down one wing of the news room here, I am observing a tableau of protest. There are between 20 and 30 men in range of vision. About tworthirds of them nrC coatless, with shirt sleeves rolled. Some are working, open-throated, having unbuttoned thoir collars and slipped the neckties downward a few inches, as well. Oh, my brother, as Hal Boyle would 'say, here is a pitiful little rebellion! Here is an eloquent expression of what men think of the modern male costume.

Here is the grim, effort to escape from the "business suit" and its which feature imilt-in discomfort, squeezing and strangulation, guaranteed to'lust. Men's clothes are the supreme idiocy of the 20th 'century. For Instance, consider your neck anil throat. An inordinate amount of tender care nnd nttcntion has been lavished on them by the tailor, thc shirt-milker, and llic necktie salesman. Your tie has at least three- folds ot cloth, your shirt four, and your coat collnr a modest two, hut thick and heavy.

This adds up to nine layers of wool, cotton and silk or substitutes, tightly wrapped, scratching, strangling, blocking arterial traffic, increasing Vjody temperature ami raising proper hell. Fully dressed, you are lugging around between 10 and 15 pounds of fabric and leather. This is at least three times the weight of the average costume oC a woman. Moreover, it. is neither' handsome take a look at the drab, total impression created by a mass of men nor is functional.

If it were, men wouldn't get but of their coats, ties and collars at the first opportunity. So, why this costume? I used to think it was the result of a vast conspiracy between the makers, tailors, designers, middlemen, etc. the more fabric, leather and gadgets they can pile pn the male, chassis, the better for the stockholders. But designers tell me that isn't a fact. They say that many people, both men and women, have had a try at devising a more sensible dress for men.

None has ever taken hold. For instance, the Australian "bush jacket" is an eminently practical garment. It combines the functions of the shirt and the coat. It has short sleeves, an open throat and is worn outside the trousers. It is about coat-length loosely be.lted at the waist.

It lets a man breathe around' the equator and the neck and shoulders. Versions -of it have been at-. temped in this country, the designers but they were never suc- cessful. Nobody knovys the reason. There is a suspicion that the average man is far too timid to break away from convention.

But it may be the little, woman who insists that her man look as much as possible like all other men, and through pressure, silent and otherwise, compresses him into the same old mold, year after year. The only hopeful sign I have noted seems to have originated in California, around Ho 11 where the necktie is disappearing rapidly, even in offices. Maybe the trend will spread. Personally, I believe a wonderful campaign plank is inherent in this for 1952. A man who promised reforms in men's clothing ought to sweep the country.

Wayland Floyd, hundreds of friends and relatives from both the Carolina? attended her funeral rites held at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon at Trinity Methodist church, and at the grave-side in th.e Fairmont cemetery. Mrs. death at her home Tuesday morning was not unexpected as she had been ill for an extended period. The Rev. Charles H.

Mercer, pastor of the deceased, conducted a beautiful memorial service in which he was assisted by a former pastor, the Rev. Daniel Fayetteville, and by Hie Rev. C. P. Herring of the First Baptist church of Fairmont.

Rescue agencies estimated a total of 2,000 persons already evacuated in the area, including 109 families at Wheeling and Wheeling Island. The crest is expected to hit 44.5 feet around noon--probably later-and this left a prospect of two feet of water running over one-fourth of Wheeling, parts of Bellaire and Bridgeport.

The Ohio Valley Board of Trade said 18,000 persons and 3,300 buildings will be affected by the crest of the flood in Wheeling alone. This that many buildings will have water in them and that many persons will be evacuated or will live in watery homes. Industry in the area shut down tight, throwing hundreds of workers jobs. Residents of Bellaire, Bridgeport, Martin's Ferry, and Shadyside, on the Ohio side, could move only short distances because high water covers roads in all directions. They were crossing the Ohio River into Wheeling by walking across the Interstate Bridge at Bellaire.

Across the river at Bemvood, W. about 300 persons have been evacuated, including most of the north and center oC thc town. Downstream at -Marietta, Forester Farley, U. S. Engineer head, revised downward the crest prediction of 48-49 feet.

He said the crest would measure about 44 feet at Marietta, where the flood stage is 36 feet. Only one road, 50--alternate, still remains open out of the area. It will be closed by crest waters. Merchants have evacuated their stores, schools are shut down and the town is under an official emergency. Mrs.

"And how can a wife keep herself permanently intriguing so the novelty doesn't wear Ponce Or Bruce is only 32 but he demonstrates what I have often termed the "Ponce de Leon Complex" or quest for the Fountain of Youth.

His marriage has become a routine affair. His wife has diverted much of her attention to their youngster. So Bruce subconsciously feels that he obtains perhaps no more than 50 per cent of her former ardor and admiration. After childbirth, a woman is physically less thrilling in marital relations, so unless she consciously adds more coquetry, her husband will vaguely disappointed irv her.

He feels so thrilled to think he has recaptured his earlier zest and "stage fright" reactions, that he doesn't want to let his paramour get'away him. So his wife must not permit herself to become unduly jealous to the point of becoming a nagger or shrew, for that will make her contrast unfavorably with the di- voYcee. She must fight fire with fire.

Bruce's wife might have prevented this disaster by injecting more novelty and variety into their marital relations.
