one of the three greatest pitchers

back to what he liked best-next
to baseball -hunting around his
Greenville home While he was
climbing over a fence, a jutting
wire pulled the trigger of hl* rifle
His right leg nearly shot away, be
was barely able to crawl home for
help.
Monte lost his leg and baseball

ln'
Russia Didn’t Deny Charge
I ' On Jan. 21, the State Department made
public some captured German documenta
which revealed the Nan-Soviet deal to
carve up Europe in 1939. If the Kremlin
had been running true to form it would
have come back with a reply the next
day, branding the documenta aa forgeries
and their cont«nte as lies.
But it took Moscow 19 days to think
up an answerr. When it came, it did not
say that the captured pajiers’ revelations
were untrue. The Kremlin fumed and
called names, in several installments, but
it didn’t deny the deal. It insisted that
Britain and France, as far back as 1937,
were goading Hitler to war with Russia.
Beyond that the Soviet rebuttal was no
more surprising than the American ac-
cusation. Russian officials were not the
first ones to say that Britain. France and
the United States were not blameless in
Hitler’s rise to power.
Plenty of rueful post-mortems were held
in this country daring the war yean.
There must have been many more in
France and England We recalled the im-
potence of a League of Nations made more
impotent by secret diplomacy and lealous,
suspicious nationalism. We regretted al-
lowing Japan to move into Manchuria
and Hitler into the Rhineland, and Mus-
solini into Ethiopia.
Too late we saw the danger of cartel
tie-ups with German industry- We saw
how France had quarreled and corrupted
herself into a walking corpse behind the
wishful security of the Maginot Line.
We saw the tragic outcome of good but
weak-willed intentions at Munich.
Rut those were largely sins of omission.
Perhaps the chief sin—and Hitler s chief
asset—wait that western people and their
government* could not realize the enorm-
ity of Hitler’s thirst for power and blood.
In spite of all the evidence to the con-
trary. they just couW not believe that
he would plunge the world into another
war.
It is not surprising that
propagandists tried to distort the picture.
Their effort* were not very successful.
For instance, thev made much of the
Dawe* Plan. This was a necessarv
remedy to relieve a German financial
crisis that threatened the whole economy
of Europe, just as low industrial produc-
tion in Germany impedes European re-
covery today.
Nobodv loved the Germans then any
bette than they do now. Yet the fact was.
and is. that it is hard to punish the Ger-
mans without punishing her neighbors.
I However, it is nonsense to say that the
Dawe* Plan set out to re-arm Germanv.
Germany w** a republic under a Socialist
president when General Dawe* oreacrib-
ed his remedv. The vear was 19?T the
year of the beer hall “mit-wh": TUtler
wa« strictly a local nuisance at the time
.4t ?nv rate, the present accusations
and rebuttals are water over the dam.
There was doubtful wisdom in starting
the whole business, though it is easv to
see how sorelv Soviet slanders must have
tried this 'mvemment’s narience. The
caniured Nazi documents told nothing
rea’lv new. Neither did the Soviet reolies.
Roth onlv served to widen the breach and
increase bad feeling
The war with Hitler is fought arr4
over. Hitler and his crew are vone. If
they taught the world a lessnn. it is time
the lesson was apnlied. Today's concern
is not with them, but with present prob-
lems and future peace.

Texas Couples Can
Save on Income Tax
Bv JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON. Feb. 34—Married couples
in the 13 commtmlty property states and Hawaii
will save money cei then !»47 income lax by
splitting their income
Thoae 13 statas ar* Artaona. Oslffomla, Idaho.
LoaialAML Michigan. Nebraska Nevada. New
MCKtc*. Oklahoma, Oregon. Texas. WasMngtwi
The wife ca* claim bait th* hueban* ■ to-
come or he can claim half of her* to bring down
the total tax
Note Anyone tn the 4* atetaa with 55** ar
more income tn IM* must fU* a return by March
U.
T TMs must b* done whether or not you owe
any t^x on that kSOO-or-more Income. If you owe
a lax. it must b* pa*d to fall by March 15.
But what of aotne cou*te in one of the com-
munity property Wntot wbere any thetr total
income was *M*M? Must they fO* a ratarn?
No Not even If all of it was earned by hus-
band or wife — sine* each would claim haM.
bringing the income of each below $500
But — if one of them had incom* of $1.00*.
than a return w«uld have to be filed, since the
least each could claim would be $5*0
There are three forms for filing a return
Form W-2. the withholding slatemem given au
employe by a boss for tax withheld from bis
wages or salary during the year, the 1040 short-
form and the 1M0 long-farm.
Take Form W-3 first —
Only a person making under $5,000 a year
can use it. And tax must have been withheld
from almost all his salary during the year
Such a person still could use tt if he had In-
come — in Interest, dividends or wages from
which lax bad not been withheld — provided that
added income did not exceed $100
But what ef a married couple tn the 13 com-
munity property states'* Say a husband made un-
der $5.**0 and his wife claimed half of It Can
such a couple use Form W-3?
Tea. if that income is within the rule out-
Lm*d above.
The husband can’t file his return on Form
W-3. showing that under $5 000 u>c«me while the
wife tiles separately oa another form W-3, claim-
ing half M it. They must, as noted, file jointly on
Form W-3.
But suppose a husband in a community prop-
erty state makes $5 M* and a full lax has been
withheM from him His wife has no income But
she claims half his income In this case can they
file jointly on Form W-3’
No Because that tot*! income is $5 0** or
more It* printed on the form by the boas And
Form W-3 can't be ua*d for reporting income of

community property states not jointly
Now take the 1M0 short-form —
This too can be used by a person with im-
**r-«5 000 income who can't, or doesn't waro to
m* Form W-2
anyone with $5 OM *r more income —
except couples in th* community property states
-^an't *se the 1M0 short-term He must use the
IM* tong-form For example
Suppose a man in a community property
■•ate had W.9W Income. Hi* wife claims half of
tt TY.us each claim* tnennse of $4 999 50
Can tills man. since his Income was
$5,000. use the short-form? Yes. because his $9 -
MB income was split into two parts of $4.9*B SB
each, and each was under $5 *00
Now suppose in a commimity property state
a man had $10 000 income aad his wife claims
h*lf Can they still file a return on th* 1040
No Each would be claiming $5,000
Now take the loto long-form —
As noted above in all states — ex;
12 cotrnnimity property states and then
a mame* couple splits the
