JOE DiMAGGIO
Joe DiMaggio, one of the greatest athletes of our
times, has announced his retirement from baseball.
Certainly, one of the greatest hitters in the game. Di
Maggio has a record of hitting safely in fifty-six con
secutive games, an extraordinary feat that will prob
ably outlast Babe Ruth's record of sixty home runs
in one season.
DiMaggio has become a symbol of success for the
New York Yankees and his sportsmanship and mod
esty have endeared him to all America. Baseball fans
everywhere regret to see his graceful departure from
baseball.
MOORESVILLE (N.C.) TRIBUNE SAYS:
. . . Certainly, the nation is in need of saving.
But it seems equally obvious that neither Republicans
nor Democrats, as presently constituted, can do it. We
believe Senator Karl Mundt (R-SD) is on the right
track in his efforts to forge a coalition between Re
publicans and Southern Democrats. If the “Me-Too,”
socialistic Republicans were shaken out (to join the
do-good, Fair-Deal Democrats) it might be possible
to weld together a formidable group of Americans who
have the intelligence to recognize our peril and the
courage to do something about it. What they might
choose to call themselves is highly unimportant.
VIEWS AND REVIEWS
C. E. G. B. Goad, candidate for alderman in Hert
ford, England, voted for his rival and lost by one vote.
Just goes to show that politics is no place for chivalry.

WHO MUST FILE
TAX RETURNS
ON JANUARY 15?
1. January 15 is the deadline
for filing and paying estimated
tax by farmers, business and pro
fessional people, investors, land
lords, etc., plus certain wage earn
ers whose 1951 tax was not sub
stantially paid up by withholding.
2. January 15 is not a tax date
for any wage earner who had tax
withheld, provided he did not;
have over $100 of other income
and his wages did not exceed
$4,500 plus $600 for each exemp
tion, (e.g., $6,300 for a man with
a wife and one dependent child).
Final 1951 income tax returns
are due by March 15 from all tax
payers, but if filed by January 15
will serve as both return and es
timate for 1951, except in the case
of farmers, who have until Jan
uary 31 to file their final- return
where it is also to serve as their
estimate.
Why Is Jan. 15 Tax Date?
The pay-as-you-go system col
lects substantially the full tax of
the average wage earner by with
holding a portion of his tax from
each paycheck. Therefore, Janu
ary 15 does not apply to him.
The pay-as-you-go system re
quires others, especially farmers,
business and professional people,
investors, landlords, and certain
wage earners, to pay estimated
tax <Form 1040-ES). January 15
is the last day for filing, amend
ing, and paying estimated tax for
these people.
Falcon Island in the South Pa
cific disappears at intervals of
years without regard for geogra
phers. The scientific explanation
is that Falcon Island is produced
by intermittent eruptions of an
underwater volcano.

Doctors Recommend
Skull X-Rays For Boxers
AP Newsfeaiures
CINCINNATI — Are the skull
bones of one out of 25 boxers too
hin for fighting?
This one-4n-twenty-five is the
ratio found at the University of
Cincinnati in the first X-ray study
of boxers’ skulls. The rays sho*wed
the density of 'bones in the head.
All but two were normal.
One of the pair had bones
somewhat thinner than average
but was approved for boxing be
cause he was in the featherweight
class. It was thought that blows
hitting him would be lighter be
cause of this class.
The other man was ruled out
because the front bone of his
head was unusually thin. The
other bones were normally thick.
This study was started by Dr.
Laurence B. Chenoweth, director
of the University’s student health.
He suggests that doctors get X
rays of skulls of boys who want
to box and in cases where skull
bones are not normal, recommend
strongly against this sport.

brassieres, during a series of

months ago. He said he had acted
on an uncontrollable urge.”
The judge put him on proba
tion, with orders to ponsult a
psychiatrist.
