North Vietnam on two “protec
tive reaction’’ missions, firing
missiles at Communist antiair-
craft sites.
South Vietnamese civilians
bore the brunt of the Commu
nist ground attacks, most of
which occurred in the republic’s
northern quarter just below the
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
American Soldier Wounded
The Communists wounded
one American soldier early
today with a 23-round mortar
barrage on base camp Viking,
just five miles west of Da
Nang, South Vietnam’s second
largest city. The heaviest
Communist assaults were in
Auang Ngai Province, centered
320 miles north of Saigon.
In southern Quang Ngai, Viet
Cong forces stormed a militia
outpost, killing seven troops
and wounding six, while suffer
ing no casualties.
Wednesday afternoon, three
six-foot-long rockets smashed
into the provincial capital of
Quang Ngai, a city of 41,500.
Four civilians died and 27 were
wounded.
Terrorists later Wednesday
set off a mine in front of a
civilian home in Due Pho
district capital in the same
province, killing 10 civilians and
five militiamen stationed out
side the house. Another nine
civilians were wounded, milita
ry spokesmen said.
Series of Battles
In Binh Dinh Province a
series of battles killed 10
Communists and five govern
ment militiamen and wounded
12 militiamen.
In Cambodia, a main ammu
nition depot at Phnom Penh’s
Pachentong Airport exploded
today, sending columns of
flames and smoke hundreds of
feet in the air. There was no
immediate report of casualties
and the cause of the explosion
was not immediately deter
mined. The airport, located Wi
miles from downtown Phnom
Penh, was ordered closed.
The U.S. command said last
week’s casualties to American
troops were the lowest of the
year in the Indochina War. Two
soldiers died and 19 other
servicemen were wounded in
action.

This column of questions and answers on federal
tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public
service to taxpayers. The column answers questions
most frequently asked by taxpayers.
Q) My employer transferred
me to another state last year
and as a result I plan to claim
a moving expense deduction. In
addition, my wife and I are
thinking of filing separate re
turns. Are the dollar limita
tions on moving expenses dif
ferent for spouses filing jointly
and separately?
A) In addition to direct costs
of moving, expenses may be
deducted for the sale or pur
chase of a residence or the
termination or acquisition of
a lease, house-hunting trips,
and temporary lodging and
meals at the new location.
However, the total deduction
for these three categories
cannot exceed $2,500 with the
latter two limited to no more
than SI,OOO in total. The limi
tation is half the above
amounts, $1,250 and SSOO, for
certain married couples filing
separate returns. However, if
you and your wife file sep
arate income tax returns and
one of the following circum
stances exists, the $1,250 and
SSOO limitations do not apply:
1) Only one spouse com
mences work at a new princi
pal place of work for which
a deduction is allowable, or
2) Both spouses commence
work at new principal places
of work which are at least 50
miles apart and they do not
reside together at the same
residence during the taxable
year.
Under the second situation,
a husband and wife filing a
joint return may each deduct
up to $2,500 for expenses in
connection with the sale or
purchase of a residence or the
termination or acquisition of
a lease and SI,OOO for ex
penses for house-hunting trips
and temporary lodging and
meals at the new location.
Married couples who meet
the qualifications under the
revised rules may disregard
the dollar limitations for mar
ried filing separately listed on
Form 3903, Moving Expense
Adjustment.
Q) Some friends and I are
planning to form an invest
ment club. Does the IRS have
a publication on the tax duties
and responsibilities of such a
club and its members?
A) Yes. Call your local IRS
office or write to your IRS
district office and ask for a
copy of Publication 550, Tax
Information on Investment
Income and Expenses. It’s
available free.

not I can claim him as a de

A) No. The purchase of an

sidered when determining total
support.
