e I
District Director of Internal Revenue l
Paul Cobb announced in Atlanta to
day that it would be the policy of his
office in the future to grant extensions
of time for filing Federal income tax
returns of individuals only in meri
torious cases, l
The Internal Revenue Code fixes the
time for filing Federal tax nhmu.i
but the District Director is granted
authority to extend the time wherel
written application is made and valid
reasons given, |
“The freedom with which extensions
have been granted in the past, and our
failures to enforce requirements as to
the form and substance of requests”
Mr. Cobb said, “have resulted in thou
sands of requests coming in from tax
payers to their representatives where
actually no good reason existed for not
filing such returns on the due date
fixed by law.
“Taxpayers can well understand the
administrative burden that such un
necessary requests have placed upon
my office,” Mr. Cobb explained. “The
large mass of extension requests are
received at the time when all wlllu-q
ble employees are under pressure and
working overtime processing returns
which are being duly filed, account
ing for remittances received therewith,
and scheduling refunds to those who
have overpaid their taxes,
“We will continue to grant full ex
tensions of time for filing individual
income tax returns where reasons for |
the request are set forth in detaill, and |
the form of request is completed in!
acccordance with the instructions in
cluding signature by the taxpayer
when required.
“Incomplete requests, cases where
reasons are not adequate, and especial
ly the mass volume of reguests re
ceived at the filing deadline, will be
accorded an extension of very short
duration, or denied entirely. Since
declarations of estimated tax may be
amended in subsequent quarters, no
extensions will be granted for Forms

COTTON CROP SET AT
148 MILLION BALcES
Washington, D. C.—-The Agriculture
Department Tuesday estimated this
year's government-controlled cotton
crop at 14543000 bales of 500 pounds
gross weight.
This estimate is 915000 bales more
than last month's forecast of 13928000
bales. It compares with the depart
ment's production goal of about 10
000,000 bales, with 13808000 produced
last year and 12952000 for the ten
year (19851 average
The crop exceeds the goal under a
rigid marketing quota program because
of extraordinarily high acre yields
The department has proposed an
even more rigid control program next
year calling for a 4 per cent reduction
in plantings from this year's acreage
allotment. Cotton supplies are st »
near-record level, reflecting accumu
lation of surpluses from past crops

they need for pood health As a

DANGER OF FOREST
INSECT ATTACKS NOW
LARGELY DIMINISHED
Atlanta, Ga.—The high danger of
forest insect attacks which prevailed
in many sections of Georgia during
the past summer has now been elimi
nated or greatly diminished in most
areas of the state, and the resumption
of harvesting operations is in most in
stances safe and in many timber
stands even highly desirable.
This very encouraging analysis is
contained in advice and suggestions
given today to landowners and forest
operators of the state, The recommen
dations by Forestry Commission of
ficials also stressed the fact that in
most sections of Georgia there is a
current high demand for wood. Es
pecially is this true within the shipping
radius of most of the state's pulpmills.
In elaborating on the greatly de
creased hazard of insect damage, the
foresters explained that the lowered
}wmpentum that have prevailed over
most of the state have reduced insect
tpopuhuom and activity to a minimum,
} The stepped up tempo of cutting
‘operations was particularly advised in
the thinning of many stagnated stands
rto release the better trees for in
[creued growth to high value products.
Thinnings performed now will be done
during a period when danger of in
sect attack is lessened and also will
provide a substantial profit to the
landowner through the sale of pulp
wood or other forest products re
moved in the thinning. An additional
benefit of thinning operations carried
on at the present time was cited in
the fact that timber stands which are
thinned during the fall and winter
months would be far less susceptible
to insect damage during next summer,

Pork, one of the richest meats in
thiamine, is now in plentiful supply.
For housewives who feel they can't
afford to have pork as often as they
would like, the U, S, Department of
Agriculture suggests buying an entire
pork loin, and using part of it for
chops and the rest for a roast. The
price per pound is lower, and is as
good as meat-counter chops.
