These went off the law books at midnight. Remaining were such benefits as medical treatment, disability compensation and burial expenses. A good number of the enlistees were apparently betting lhat Congress would extend full educational benefits to persons enlisted he- tore the Jan. 31 deadline. Congress has been pushing such legislation.

Disney sends a crack camera team, usually a husband and wife, iito the wilderness to literally live with the animals until they have shot up enough satisfactory film to make a feature which usually requires the better part of a year.

It would discriminate against etailers of such merchandise as as to consumers of the same. It would cause Arkansas con- umers to go into other states and borderline towns, exempt under he act, to purchase much of their eeds. 4. It would encourage shopping abits for other of merchan- ise in out-of-state markets and ould, therefore, adversely affect he state's economy, as well as tax rograms now in effect to produce evenue to support essential state ervices.

Walter of the House Un-American Activities committee charged today that turn-about witness Harvey Matusow was "planted" by the Communist party to pose as an ex-Com- rrtunisl informer. The Pennsylvania Democrat said in a House speech he is "thoroughly convinced" that Mr.tr.sow- "has always been a Communist," in stead of having left the party in 1951 as he claims. Walter said Matusow was placed in a position of a "professional winiess" by the Communists to discredit congressional jr.vcst.igat ing committees. Mntusow, who has labeled more than 180 persons as Communists, row claims he deliberately lied in 'some cases.

Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R- Mich.) asked Walter if Maluaow was "planted" by the Communists to discredit Communist investigations. "There is no question about it," Walter replied. Walter said he bad read part of Malusow's book which will be published soon.

He said it follows the Communist line." Matusow began his career as a professional witness in 1951; before the Mouse committee in testimony about Red activities in youth groups. Matusow now claims he deliberately lied at the trial of Labor Leader Clinton Jencks, who was convicted at El Faso, 1- year or filing 'a false non-Communist affidavit while president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers.

Arrows Under the Bear: Ronnie Is New Income Tax Deadline By FRANK O'BRIEN WASHINGTON Wl There's an air of quiet satisfaction at revenue service headquarters for an ur.usual reason: A lot of people apparently have not caught on to one provision of the new tax law. A number of taxpayers evidently think the income tax filing deadline is March 15.

it was for 40 years. the 1054 tax law moved the date to April 15, effective this year. Since this change was wid- ly publicized, the revenue serv- vice had glumly expected a dull January followed by a mounting crush of calls tor help in making out returns.dur- ing February, March nnd early April. It just isn't developing that way. A headquarters telephone check of some major tax filing points today disclosed that business is as good this January as a year before better in seme places.

And a check of one long line of taxpayers waiting for advice in the Washington area disclosed that something like 80 to 90 per cent of the people in the line thought the income tax deadline, was still March 15. The revenue service is continuing last year's drive to give priority to returns calling for a refund. Also, last year's program of giving an especially close look to returns calling for big is being' 1 repeated. Offi- "cials safd where they drew the line between "big" and "small" refunds, but it was reported to have been 'at or. near 200 last year, with all refund claims over that amount being set side for special scrutiny.

The line may have been dropped to around $150 this year, but officials would neither con- fiim nor deny this report.
