The current batch of eight titlists, cream of a 153-group that battled here for three nights, will continue in the amateur ranks until they complete an extensive European tour this summer. During last night's windup pro- gram at the Boston Garden, Light Heavyweight John Boutilier, a Bos- ton University sophomore, gained top individual honors and the Phil- adelphia team retained its group championship by again providing three divisional winners. One championship crown went to the Pacific Northwest, 126-pound Lou Walters of Vancouver, B.C. For the first time in the tourney’s 63-year history an award was made for outstanding sportsmanship. It was voted to Irish Pat McMurtry of Tacoma, Wash., a '175-pounder who insisted on going through his three-round semi-final against Bou- tilier after fracturing his right hand early in the opening frame, But he lost the decision.

The major changes in the Alaska Net Income Tax Act are that Fed- eral employees must file estimated declarations on or before April 15 of the taxable year and pay at that time one-quarter of the esti- mated tax to be due. In addition, the amendments incorporate Sec- tions 58 and 59 of the Internal Revenue Code which require all persens having an income not sub- ject to the withholding provisions of the Act to file an estimated declaration. Penalties for failure to file es- timated declarations will be asses- sed in accordance with the amend- ed Act. The date for filing the Estimated Declarations' for the year 1951 has been extended to May 15, 1951 to enable the Department of Taxation to distribute the necessary forms and to give all persons required to file declarations time to secure forms (Deptax 600 ES.D.) and com- ply with the requirements of the amended law. Heretofore, if your entire income was subject to the withholding pro- visions of the Act, a yearly return need not be filed. Commencing with the taxable year 1951 a yearly re- turn of Alaska Net Income Tax (Deptax 600) must be filed by .all persons having income within Al- aska, regardless of the fact that their income was subject to the withholding provisions of the Act. For failure to file returns or pay the amount of tax due, in addition to the filing of liens and the suspension of licenses issued to any persons authorized to con- duct any business, a warrant for distraint of personal property may be issued. Property exempt from distraint includes the following: (1) The school books and wearing apparel necessary for such family; (b) Arms for personal use; (c) One cow, 2 hogs, 6 sheep and the wool thereof, provided the aggregate market value cf said sheep shall not exceed $50.00; (d) The neces- sary food for such cow, hogs, and sheep, for a period not exceeding thirty days; (e) Fuel to an amount not greater in value than $25.00; (f) provisions to an amount not Jreater in value than $50.00; (2) Household furniture kept for use to an amount not greater than $300.00; and (h) the books, tools, or smplements, of a trade or profes- sion, to an amount not greater Jthan $100,00.
