Income Tax Hints
What Income Is Taxable
Gross income may be in the
form of money, property, or ser
vices. Gross income is the start
ing point for figuring your in
come tax liability. The following
are examples of items which must j
be included in income: Alimony,
i business income, dividends, wages,
bonuses, jury duty fees, debts
forgivep, rents, etc.
If you sold an automobile, re
frigerator, Hi-Fi, or other per
sonal property, the gain on the
sale is subject to income tax.
Losses from such transactions are
not deductible on your return. Al
so, income from a hobby must be!
included in your return, but loss- j
es sustained in conducting a hob
by are not deductible.
Prizes won in any contest are J
■ taxable. Prizes and awards in
goods or services are included in
income at their fair market value.
Where an individual refuses to
accept a prize, it is not included
in his income.
Refunds of taxes or medical ex
penses for which you clain.ed a
deduction in a prior year are re
ported as income in the year re
funded to the extent of that part
which caused a decrease in your
tax for some other year. If you
used the standard deduction or
the Tax Table in the year they
were paid or incurred, the recov
ered amount is not income.
Some amounts which you should
not report on your income are:
accident and health insurance pro
ceeds, life insurance proceeds, mil
itary allowances, sickness and
injury payments, clergymen’s ren
tal allowances, workmen’s com
pensation.
Gifts, bequests, or inheritances
received by you are not income.
If property so received later pro
duces income of a taxable nature,
the income is taxable to you.
Social Security benefits receiv
ed monthly or in a lump sum are
not income, whether you receive
them because you are of qualified
age, disabled, or as a dependent
of a qualified worker. Similarly,
unemployment benefits paid to
you by a state are tax exempt.
Strike and lockout benefits paid
by a union from union dues, in
cluding both cash and the fair
market value of goods received,
are includible in income unless
the facts clearly show that such
benefits were intended as a gift.
Scholarship and fellowship
grants are generally tax exempt.
However, payments to enable you
to pursue studies or research pri
marily for the benefit of the
grantor are not scholarships o r
fellowship grants. The value of
room and hoard furnished by an
accredited school of nursing to a
student nurse is a scholarship.
Benefits paid by the Veterans
Administration to veterans and
their families are exempt from
tax. Veterans’ insurance proceeds
and dividends are not taxable ei
ther to the veteran or his heirs.
However, interest on dividends
left on deposit with the Veterans
—^—
Administration is taxable.
Income in any form other than
cash is reported at the frir mar-
het value of the goods or services
received. For example, if jou
received from your employer
shares of stock for which you
paid less than fair market value,
you must include in income the
difference between fair market
value at the time you received the
shares and the amount you paid.
Likewise, you must pay tax on
the fair market value of any
stock received qptright from your
employer for which you did not
pay.

torious torturers and mass murd
erers of the Batista regime died
before firing squads.’ ”
Philbrick asks: “Did not Lee
Harvey Oswald” (a self-described
official of the Fair Play For Cuba
Committee), “crouched in a dark
window of a warehouse in Dallas,
see himself holding in his grasp a
‘revolutionary rifle?’ Were not the
three, sharp shots which rang out
on November 22, in the ears of Lee
Harvey Oswald, ‘noble noises of
the fidelistas’? And did not the
bullets sped on their way, in the
eyes of Lee Harvey Oswald, seek
out ‘a cruel aggressor, bent on
mayhem’? . . . The great tragedy
V 1 . was that he believed the awful
words of Robert Tabor . . . And,
the greater, ironic tragedy is that
while Lee Oswald took the words
of Tabor seriously, many of the
advisors of the President did not.”
Conservative groups repeatedly
urged Robert Kennedy’s Justice
Department to investigate the
Fair Play For Cuba Committee,
which the Senate Internal Secur
ity Sub-Committee had learned
was being financed by Castro. But
the Justice Department refused to
list the Fair Play For Cuba Com
mittee as subversive.
A UPI dispatch from Washing
ton on March 7, 1962 said: “At
torney General Robert F. Kennedy
said yesterday the Communist
Party is a ‘windmill’ virtually
powerless to hurt the government.
He criticized ‘hysteria’ about the
Party’s activities. ‘They can’t do
anything to us’ . . . the President’s
brother said.”
A leading authority on Com
munism and one of the Kennedy’s
chief advisors, Victor Reuther, ad
vised Bobby Kennedy that “the
radical right poses a far greater
danger to . . . this country . . .
than does the domestic communist
movement.”
Reuther wrote, ‘The radical
right or extreme right-wing, or
however it might be designated,
includes an unknown number of
millions of Americans of view
points bounded on the left by Sen
ator Goldwater and on the right
by Robert Welch . . . What is need
ed are deliberate Administration
policies and programs to contain
the radical right from further ex
pansion and in the long run to re
duce it to its historic role of the
impotent lunatic fringe.” Reuther
proposed that the “radical right”
organizations be placed on the At
torney General’s subversive list
and that their ranks be infiltrat
ed by the FBI.
Ironically, Kennedy was murd
ered just before he was to make a
speech condemning conservatives.
Imagine what Bobby Kennedy
would have done had the killer
been a conservative. Oswald had
planned an escape to Mexico. He
was caught almost by accident. If
he had escaped, even members of
the D.A.R. wouldn’t have been
safe. It is not indulging in fantasy
to imagine the government round
ing up all “rightists.”
The murder of the President by
a pro-Castro comrat should be a
warning—just as heart flurries
are an impending warning of a
possible massive attack—to the en
tire free world that the commune
ists will stop at nothing.
Why don't we unite in demand
ing the arrest, jailing and depor
tation of all communists and oth
ers who advocate the violent over
throw of our constitutional Repub
lic? Why don’t we cut off all re
lations with all communist coun
tries and their satellites until
their slaves are freed? Why don’t
we quit paying the bills for our
own destruction in the United Na
tions, thus killing it, and then
join a world organization compos
ed only of nations which believe in
and practice the freedom and dig*
nity of the individual?
If the American people are to
blame for what has happened, it’s
because we kept our heads in the
sand, and refused to believe that
there is a communist menace with
in which is boring relentlessly to
bring about our enslavement. If
we are guilty, it is because we as
a sovereign people have permitted
our government to coddle subver
sive agents. If we are guilty, it is
because we’ve been “too busy” to
worry about the calculated under
mining of our morality, our reli
gion, our patriotism in our
schools, churches, government and
communications system.
“Once to every man and nation
comes the moment to decide, In
the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side.”
