He was raised in this area and graduated from Bemidji High School. He was a member of IRS offers booklet on retirement arrangement St. Paul Persons considering setting up Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRA's) for their retirement security should weigh not only the tax advantages but also the limits and restrictions, C.D. Switzer, District Director tor Minnesota said. IRA's were established in 1974, the IRS said, to allow employes and self-employed persons not covered by retirement plans at work to save for their retirement years and gain some income tax benefits in the process.

In setting up' an IRA, eligible workers can place up to 15 percent of their annual income in their plan (maximum $1500) and postpone paying income laxes on the money as 'wellasonthc interest or other income it earns until they actually withdraw it, at age or older, or if the individual becomes disabled. At this ponl the IRS said, the taxpayer is apt to be in a lower tax bracket than during his or her earning years. While IRA's offer significant tax benefits, an individual considering setting up a plan should be aware that contributions exceeding the annual maximum are taxed as ordinary income and are subject to a non-deductible 6 percent excise tax each year. Another restriction in an IRA plan relates to withdrawals which are made before the individual reaches SS 1 years of age or becomes disabled. These are also included in taxable income, and an additional 10 percent penalty is imposed on the amount withdrawn, according to Swilzer.

The IRS also pointed out that distribution of funds in an IRA must begin by the time the owner reaches years of age. The withdrawal rate is up to the 'taxpayer, but generally must provide for full distribution of the money within the person's expected lifetime. An informative, free booklet, IRS Publication 590, contains full details on IRA's, including the tax treatment and the limitations, and is available from most IRS offices.

Cloud, know our needs and issues have not been directly said Elizabeth Samuels, Minneapolis. we want this statement issued in the official record. We feel that white female leadership of this conference operates no differently than that of white male clubs. "We arc still in a struggle against racism and oppression. This time it is the white female club.

Therefore, due to these circumstances, we arc removing ourselves from this session," Secretary of State Joan Growe, general chairperson of the four-day meeting, said: "It is terribly important to sit here-whatever we call it, an official meeting or an ad hoc committee." It was explained that the assembly could still vote on additional resolutions- which they did-to be forwarded to the national conference. Resolutions passed Saturday night had been proposed by Minnesota meeting's Resolutions Committee and by the national Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year. The first two resolutions, dealing with the women in the arts and humanities and with child care, were approved by an overwhelming majority of the participants. At (hat point, one delegate moved that' the rest of the committee resolutions be passed as a bloc, and that motion was approved, triggering cheers, shouts and spontaneous dancing among the delegates and a walkout by anti-abortion women favoring other resolutions. The bloc of resolutions passed call for action by the public and private sectors of society to promote advances for womenb in such areas as credit, employment, health and laws regarding sexual assault.

There were no resolutions dealing with abortion directly, but one resolution stated that moral decisions relating to rcporduction are rightfully the responsibility of individual women. Splits also had been formed within the conference regarding voting for delergates to the national meeting. Although a slate of delegates was suggested by the coordinating committee, the anti-abortion forces nominated a separate list, while rural women, blacks and lesbians proposed other lists. Balloting was held throughout the day, and the 26 delegates and five alternates proposed by the Nominating Committee were chosen to attend the national convention. The slate proposed by the Nominating Committee included women from each visible minority group and each of Minnesota's eight congressional districts.

Those chosen included representatives of the handicapped, older women, rural women, low income women, lesbians and racial minorites. SHOP SUNDAYS NOON TO 5 P.M.
