This Rock Of Ours By Bill Gibb Newspapers are ae They mgt posted on all big events pice history. But in the final analysis, you’ve still got to get out on the street and shake your neighbor’s hand tc really realize this is a wonderful world. Do you know Joe Madiedo? He’s'a Key Wester—married— has three children. Lives at 1108 Grinnell St. This summer will be remembered by many of us be- cause of the unusal heat. Joe’s Kids will remember it, however, as being the first time they were ever out of the State of Florida. Mr. and Mrs. Madiedo and their three children spent a vacation up in Lenior City, Tenn. (That's God’s Country in my opinion.) They were all thrilled with the beautiful Smoky Mountains but the best part of the trip came when Mrs. Madiedo was able to meet, in person, a woman with whom she had been corresponding for 18 years, Mrs. Max Vineil. Letter writing started between the two women back in 1986 when Mrs. Madiedo met Mrs. Vincil’s brother stationed with the C. C. C. here in Key West. Now that the two families know each other per- sonally, they plan another reunion at the end of this year. Appreciation _ because of the NAVARRO, Inc.

Tuesday, August 17, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN happy events has led Mrs. Madiedo to exclaim, “God has given us many wonderful gifts.” And Se It Goes Those kind of things give all of us a lift, You walk down the street, see a menacing headline in the paper or hear frightening news over the radio, and you feel that surely the world is going to come to an end any day now. The best way to rid yourself of such gloomy thoughts is to speak a friendly “hello” to everyone you meet. Before you've traveled a block, someone will be telling you of news—of happy events in their lives. Such joy is con- tagious. Results On Fluoridation Ballott Next Friday, the editor of The Citizen has given me space to pub- lish the pro and con opinion re- garding Monfoe County fluorida- tion. We'll also have the ballot- ing results. Response to the ballot has been unusually good. As this is writ- ten, the ones ‘‘for” and the ones “against” fluoridation appear to be running a neck-and-neck race. Of course, this kind of voting could be easily padded so there is noth- ing really authoritative about it. However, as I told my boss, Page 5 John Cellar—the majority of hu- man beings are honest. Morover, not many people are likely to go out and spend money buying €x- tra papers just to pad the vote. Those in charge of our govern- ment shouuld be interested to learn the results. Les oe what ha » present pul i terest pees to ietlente that the question of fluoridation might turn out to be a hot political issue in future elections. Safety Council Meeting There is a Key West Safety Council meeting next Wednesday night at the Lions Den on Semin- ary Street — (behind the high school gym.) The Lions and the JayCées have been mighty good to the Safety Council. Without their coopera- tion, the outfit might have had to fold up.

BARRETT WASHINGTON — Everybod: sets another month to aoekt a his income tax returns and about one million taxpayers who have been required to file advance es- timates of income are now re- Heved of that chore. , These are two important admin- istrative changes included in the passed by Congress. One change that affects all in- dividual taxpayers: the deadline for final returns is shifted from the traditional March 15 to April 15. This change goes into effect when you file your returns next nich axpayers over 65 no longer are required to file returns if their income is $1,200 or less.

Authoritative American inform- ants seemed convinced changes in the European Defenge Community plan, proposed by French Premier Pierre Mengdes-France, were far teo drastic to be accepted by the othr countries involved.

In a move to explain the new French plan, Ambassador Henri Bonnet met secretly at the State Department yesterday with A Secretary Walter Bedell Smith. Smith was reported to share the view that the French plan imper- ils the entire future of the defense community. However, he was said to be leading an intensive drive to find some sort of middle path whieh might be acceptable to cials were reported pessimistic over his chances. In a further U.S. move to bolster EDC’s prospects, Chairman Wiley (R-Wis) of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee announced he will leave for Europe today to talk over the matter—at Dulles’ request—with British and French officials, including Mendes-France. Citations For Contempt Up For Decision WASHINGTON (#—Contempt of Congress citations voted by the Senate against Corliss Lamont, wealthy New York leftist author, and two other men go to the Jus- tice Department today for possible prosecution. Lamont, contending senators yielded to “pressure” by Sen, Mc- Carthy (R-Wis), said he would take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary. McCarthy, chairman of the Sen: ate Investigations subcommittee, won citations against the trio 71-3 yesterday in hours of often wrang- Gen. William P. Rogers has indi- cated willingness to prosetute. Lamont later put out a statement in New York saying the Senate “missed an excellent opportunity to help curb the excesses of the McCarthy committee.” Besides Lamont, son of the late financier Thomas W.° Lamont, the citations named Abraham Unger, a New York lawyer, and Albert Shadowitz, electronics from Nutley, N.J. They were cited—recommended for prosecution—for declining to answer many questions fired by McCarthy while the senator was sitting as a one-man investigating subcommittee last fall and winter. ‘None of the three refused to answer on grounds of any Fifth Amendment protection against pos- sible self-incrimination, which Mc- Carthy contends is the only valid grounds on which a witness may deny information to congressional investigators. Lamont, after swearing at the inquiry that “I am-not now and never have been a member of the specialist Communist party,” challenged the | . McCarthy subcommittee’s jurisdic- tion for a variety of reasons. These included the First. Amendment Guarantee of free speech. ; He refused to answer many ques- tions concerning possible associa- tion with alleged Communists and to tell whether he had attended | Communist meetings. Lamont was questioned September concerning the use of some of his writings in textbooks for Army intelligence officers. Mc- Carthy denounced the works as containing Communist propaganda. Shadowitz was questioned last Dec. 10 in an investigation of al- leged Communist infiltration of radar laboratories. Unger invoked the First Amend- ment when questioned Sept. 15-and 17 in McCarthy's investigations of alleged Communist activities in the United Nations. The citations now go to the at- torney general to determine wheth- er they should be submitted to a grand jury. Contempt of Congress last | _ Further, all individuals are re- lieved of filing information re- turns—reports of income paid to others—unless they are in business Under the old law an individual had to file an-information return if he paid $600 or more a year to any one person. Big changes have been made in requirements for filing quarterly advance estimates of income and making payments based on these estimates. These changes affect estimates due in 1955—not 1954, You continue this year under the old law. If you make less than $100 not subject to withholding, you don’t have to file quarterly advance es- timates—unless your total income is $5,000 or more if you are single, or $10,000 or more for married couples or single heads of house- Under the old law you had to file advances declarations and pay- ments if your income was expected to exceed $4,500 plus $600 for each exemption. If your income includes more than $100 not subject to withhold- ing, you are still required to file estimated returns, provided your total income is expected to exceed $400, plus $600 for each exemption, Under the old law, taxpayers with more than $100 income not subject to withholding had to file estimates if their income exceeded If you have to file estimated re- turns, the deadline for the first estimate and payment is April 15, instead of March 15. The other three installments are due on the same dates as before—June 15, Sept. 15 and Jan. 15. However, if you choose to make your final return before the new April 15 deadline, you can wait until Jan. 31, instead of Jan. 15 as under the old law. If you make your final return on Jan. 31, you don’t have to meet the fourth- quarter installment on Jan. 15. Farmers get a little more time. They can wait until Feb. 15 to file their final return on previous year’s income, instead of Jan. 31 as under the old law. If they file this final return by Feb. 15, they don’t have to make the fourth-quar- ter return on Jan. 15.
