Jehovah's Witnesses End Tampa Meeting One of the largest conventions ever held in the Tampa area came to a close Sunday, August 1 at Plant Field Fairgrounds with 6,- %64 being present. The four-day district convention of Jehovah’s witnesses was climax- ed by the public Biole lecture, “God’s Love to the Rescue in Man's Crisis” delivered by T. J. Sullivan, a director of the Watch- tower Society from Brooklyn, New York. On Saturday morning a total of 170 were baptized at Colonial Beach at Egypt Lake. The Witness- es held the largest baptism of mod- ern times last year in New York City when 4,640 were immersed in one day. In order for the huge assembly to operate smoothly, many differ- ent departments were established, such as rooming accommodations, cafeteria, information, cleaning, in- stallation and others. A total of more than 800 volunteer workers were used in this capacity. The Witnesses are holding a to- tal of 17 district conventions from coast to coast in the United States this summer. A total of 27 states and 8 foreign countries were rep- resented in Tampa, giving it an international flavor. D. J. Rich- ards, convention director, pointed out that the conventon was a huge success in every respect. Among the 6,764 present in Tam- pa were members from the local congregation of Jehovah’s witness- es. Bobo’s Legal Eagles Plan Split Wind-Up By LEN LEFKOW RENO, Nev. w—Blonde Bobo Rockefeller and her expensive ar- ray of legal talent prepared today to close out the romantic saga of the coal miner’s daughter and the multimillionaire oil heir. The 37-year-old Bobo may file for divorce at any time from 42- year-old Winthrop Rockefeller. It may come later today, judging only by the apparent last-minute Preparations going on at Bobo’s divorce headquarters, a suburban Reno home she rented a few weeks ago. Reporters who phoned the resi- dence have been cut short with: “Sorry, we're busy. Call back later.” The voices usually identify themselves as Bobo’s attorneys. She has six lawyers—five from New York and one from Nevada. The attorneys have pulled a cur- tain of secrecy over preparations for her divorce from Rockefeller, who is the father of her 5% year old son Winthrop Paul. A property settlement was work- ed out the day Bobo arrived in Reno to establish residence. That was six weeks. and four days ago. Six weeks residence is required to get a divorce. Bobo—in exchange for a signed and delivered divorce—will get two million in cash, 2% million in trust funds for herself and Winthrop Paul and another million in per- sonal property. She’ll also have custody of the youngster—with whom Rockefeller has been getting acquainted the past few days. He has taken the boy swimming a few times in what Bobo called a “period of introduc- tion.” Rockefeller will have the Los Angeles, Cal. $56.70 Jack’ville, Fla. New York, N.Y. 28.60 Charleston, S.

Page 10 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, August 3, 1984, Explanation Given Of Cuts For Dependents In New Tax Bill By CHARLES F. BARRETT WASHINGTON (#—If you sup- Port a child in college who works part time ... If you support someone in your home who is not a close rela- tive... If you share with several others in supporting a relative ... Then you probably will get a tax cut under the new, 1,000-page tax revision bill just passed by Congress. The new measure sets out sever- al more liberal rules for claiming dependents on your income tax re- turns. Each dependent entitles you to exempt $600 of your income from taxes. Each exemption thus means an actual tax cut of $120 if you’re in the minimum 20 per cent bracket, more in the higher brack- ae . Altogether, experts figure about 1,400,000 taxpayers will be able to claim additional dependents. The changes, effective this year, will show up in 1954 tax returns. Under the old law you couldn’t claim anyone as a dependent who made more than $600 income on his own during the year. Under the new law, you can count children under 19 as depend- ents, regardless of their earnings, if you provide more than half their suppot. And you can count children above 19 as dependents, regard- less of their earnings, if they are in college. You still, of course, must provide more than half their support. These provisions are designed to help many parents whose children work part time. Under the old law, it was a temptation for Dad to tell -his boy to quit work as the boy’s earnings approached $600 and Dad faced the loss of a de- pendent on his tax return. Another new provision says this: In determining whether you Carrier Yorktown Joins Ist Fleet SANGLEY POINT, P. I. #—The aircraft carrier Yorktown arrived in Manila Bay today to join the U.S. Ist Fleet, which has been operating in the South China Sea. The continued presence here of American carriers, which have been on “fair weather training maneuvers” in this area, is the greatest show of naval strength in Philippines ‘waters since the last war. The Yorktown replaces the car- rier Tarawa, which left here Sun- day for the United Sates. McCLELLAN WINS ARKANSAS PRIMARY LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (#—Sen. John L. McClellan has won the Democratic nomination for re-elec- tion by a 4,056-vote majority, a certified vote count shows. Democratic nominees are virtual- ly assured of election in Arkansas. William P. Bowen, secretary for the Democratic Central Commit- tee, gave these figures for the sen- atorial race: McClellan, 164,905; former Gov. Sid McMath, 126,172; Paul Chambers, 31,286; Leonard Ellis, 3,391. Thus, McClellan’s three foes polled a total of 160,849. right to see the boy a few times a year. Bobo and the Standard Oil heir married on Valentine’s Day 1948, two years after she shed Boston socialite Richard Sears Jr. with a Nevada divorce. VIA GREYHOUND AIR-CONDITIONED BUSES Why drive when you can board an air-conditioned Greyhound and relax . . . no traffic nerves... no parking problem . . . frequent schedules timed to suit yew convenience, provide half your child’s support, you don’t have to count as part of his income any scholarships he re- ceives in college. Full time on-the-farm training, if supervised by an educational institution or local government, can be counted as attending col- lege. Under the old law, you couldn’t count anyone as a dependent who was not a close relative. Now you can count anyone as a dependent if he lives in your household and you provide more than half his support. This is designed especially to ap- ply to foster children, children in your home awaiting formal adop- tion, or others you support for any reason. In many cases, a group of per- sons will share in the support of a dependent relative—say an eld- erly parent—but no one member of the group provides more than half the dependent’s support. Un- der the old law no one could claim the dependent on tax returns. Under the new law, the group ean agree that one person wil’ claim the dependent in any one year. The benefit can be rotatec among the group in succeeding years. The member of the group who claims the dependent must contrib- ute at least 19 ~-r ~--t of the dependent’s support. And he mr be a close relative of tne depend- ent—nonrelatives can’t be claime’ as dependents under the group provision. The law defines a close relative as a son or daughter or grandchild, a stepson or stepdaughter, a broth- er, sister or stepbrother or step- sister, a father or mother or grandparent, a stepfather or step- mother, a niece, nephew, aunt or uncle, or any of these in-laws: son, daughter, father, mother, brother or sister. Quick Action Causes Trouble DETROIT (Rogers McDonald, 35, wanted fast action when he was robbed. He got it. Yesterday he paid for it. McDonald told Recorder’s Judge Paul E. Krause about the robbery. He said he pulled a fire alarm box thinking it was a fast way of noti- fying police. Judge Krause said it cost the city $500 to dispatch five pieces of equipment in answer to the alarm. McDonald, who also admitted he had been drinking, was fined $100 for turning in a false fire alarm.
