BERDn—(yp)—The organ grind

reappeare(} for the first time s;nro
the war in rubble-lined streets of
downtown Berlin.
He’s just a tramp trying to
make a catch-penny living in th?
ruined city but today he created
a street scene indelibly imprinted
upon the memory of ^ reporter for

from Chinese sailing vessels.

the ruins a little song floated up.1
The organ grinder has reappeared
and is dispensing his penny mel
ancholy.
“At a corner of Wdhelmstrasse
he has created an unforgettable
scene. Women who’ve been mash
ing heavy sand trucks or parsing
bricks from hand to hand in a
chain as gangs of rubble clearers,
have abandoned their tasks and
are embracing each other and
dancing— 'ancing a waltz in the
ruined street.
“A group of retu rned ori oners
, of war comes shuffling up the
j street seeking their old homes
, The women rush to them and sur
round them. The shabby looking
women put their arms around the
shabbier looking men and bid
' them dance. The shy. broken men
light up with slow smiles and try
a few clumsy steps. Then they
stop. Breathing heavily, the or
gan grinder collects his pfennigs
and passes on. The prisoners shuf
fle along their road back. The wo
I men go back to their rubble pdes.”

SOME 12 million persons who are paying federal taxes on
1945 income will not need to pay any tax on 1946 income.
They will get out of paying a tax because the new law, which
APPLIES TO INCOME RECEIVED ON AND AFTER JANUARY I,
1946, increases their exemptionf from tax.
Every person will get a $500 exemption for himself, his
spouse and each of his dependents. These exemptions will ap
ply to normal tax as well as surtax. Under the old law, the tax
payer got only one $500 exemption from normal tax regardless
of the number of his dependents.
The chart below shows incomes of persons with various
numbers of exemptions which will be tax free.

BESIDES the 12 million persons who are freed from paying
taxes on 1946 income, about 35 million persons will pay
less taxes because of increased exemptions and of reductions in
tax rates. The table below shows HOW MUCH LESS will be with
held for income tax from weekly pay envelopes in 1946:

BESIDES the increase in exemptions, the taxes on 1946 income
are lowered in two ways:
1. Less Surtax: The surtax rate in each bracket is reduced
3 per cent. (Example, the 20 per cent surtax on first $2,000 of
taxable income becomes 17 per cent.)
2. 5 per cent Discount: The combined normal tax and surtax
as computed is reduced further by 5 per cent of the tax.
