Republican Youth
Movement Most
Impressive, Bentley
ATLANTA—Comptroller Ge
neral James L. Bentley said
recently that one of the most
impressive things he has seen
in the Republican Party is the
well organized youth movement
within its ranks.
Mr. Bentley told the Geor
gia Tech Young Republican Club
that the party is doing more
than merely appealing to the
emotions of young people every
four years. He said that the
party offers an opportunity for
a young person to help stimu
late platforms and work on key
issues.
On this subject, the comp
troller general pointed out that
a political party has a severe
responsibility to the people it
attracts. “Too many times in
the past,’’ Bentley said, “our
young people have been rallied
for a particular election, and
then dropped.’’ He continued,
“We have all seen what hap
pens when this occurs. Excited
young people, without a cause
to work for soon become dis
couraged and then enraged.”
Bentley said the Republican Pa
rty wants more than the young
vote; it solicits the advice and
wisdom of the young.
Mr. Bentley said that the Re
publican Party recognized that
young Americans have grown
tired of being told what is wro
ng with the nation, and not be
ing told what they can do to
help.

Griffin, Ga.-Georgia taxpayers
can expect a delay in receiving
Federal income tax refunds be
cause of errors In computing
the new tax surchaege, E. T.
Woodruff, Local Representative
of the Internal Revenue Service,
noted today.
Early tax returns filed at the
IRS Service Center in Chamblee,
Georgia, show an unusually high
percentage of returns with mis
takes in computation of the sur
charge. In some cases, tax
payers are not computing the
additional tax, he noted.
The surcharge was effective
for only nine months of 1968.
Consequently, the rate for the
calendar year 1968 is 7 1/2
percent. Most salaried taxpay
ers experienced Increased with
holding rates to reflect the sur
charge during the past year.
Mr. Woodruff urged taxpayers
to read their instruction booklet
which provides step by step meth
ods of calculation. In the case of
Form 1040, page 10 of the instru
ctions carries tax surcharge
tables. For the card Form 1040A,
taxpayers should consult page 8
of the instructions prepared for
taxpayers earning less than
