THE BATTALION Tuesday, February 2, 1965 College Station, Texas Page 3 Taxpayers May Use Card To Register Year’s Income Taxpayers may use the simple card Form 1040 A in filing their 1964 Federal income tax return if their incomes are less than $10,000, Clarence E. Carlson ad ministrative officer of Internal Revenue in Bryan said today. Husband and wife may file a joint return on Form 1040 A if their combined income is under $10,000. Taxpayers whose incomes were less than $10,000 and consisted en tirely of wages subject to with holding, or entirely of such wages and not more than $200 total of other wages, dividends, and inter ests may use the Form 1040A. Taxpayers who use the Form 1040A must take the standard de duction, either the regular 10% or the minimum standard deduction duction allowed in lieu of medical expenses , contributions, interest payments, taxes, and other item ized deductions. Taxpayers were reminded that the minimum standard deduction was established by the 1964 tax law. It permits a deduction of $200, plus $100 for each allowable exemption of the taxpayer. A married taxpayer filing a separate return, however, is limited to a $100 deduction, plus $100 for each allowable exemption. Both the 10% and the minimum standard deduction are subject to a maximum limitation of $1,000 for single taxpayers or married taxpayers filing jointly. The maximum is $500 in the case of married taxpayers filing separate returns. If the taxpayer computes his own return and if there is tax due, a check or money order, paya ble to “Internal Revenue Service,” must accompany the return. More information on this sub ject and others may be obtained by telephoning Internal Revenue. AMONGr THE PR OFS I Former Student Receives I Navy Oceanography Job Dr. Charles C.

A&M Receives Instruments From Indian Consul General A&M University will receive a gift of musical instruments from the government of India during a luncheon Wednesday in the Me morial Student Center. P. N. Menon, consul general of India for the Western States of America, will make the presenta tion to President Earl Rudder and Music Coordinator Robert L. (Bob) Boone. A sitar, tabla and tamboura are the instruments A&M will receive. The sitar, most popular stringed instrument of India, is similar to a guitar. The tabla is a two-piece drum and the tamboura a four or five stringed instrument which gives an essential droning back ground to all Indian music. The gift is the result of a letter written about a year ago by Boone in behalf of the Indian Students groups on campus. He wrote the India Embassw asking for help in securing native musical instru ments of India for use in the ob servance of India Republic Day on campus. A short time later he received a letter from the em bassy telling him that work had begun on securing the instruments. Next contact with the embassy came last week when Boone re ceived a letter saying two boxes of musical instruments were being shipped to A&M. The letter also suggested the official presentation by Menon. Approximately 60 students from India are enrolled at A&M. Although the annual Republic Reading Machine Helps To Solve Zip Code Problem Postmaster Ernest Gregg said today he has received word from Postmaster General John A. Gron- ouski in Washington, that a big “breakthrough” has now been made on electronic machines to “read” Zip-code addresses on mail. “The Postmaster General said he expects to begin installing these sophisticated new machines in in major post offices starting in about a year,” Gregg explained. Gregg said each machine will be able to sort, as well as read, at the rate of 35,000 letters in an hour. when can I interview IBM?"

MENON 83-Foot Skyhook Installs Pedestal Atop Bizzell Hall A Bryan - manufactured “sky hook” proved vital Thursday aft ernoon as A&M University moved nearer to having the only known matched set of radars for weather research. The 83-foot boom capacity of the locally - manufactured FlexLift operated by Austin contractor George D. Owens lifted into place a 2,000-p6und pedestal for a 15- foot radar antenna “dish” and oth er equipment on a tower atop Biz zell Hall. P-M Machine Co. manu factured the mobile FlexLift. The large “dish” to be installed shortly is for a 10-centimeter set being matched to a 3.5 centimeter set. The synchronized sets will provide data “something like hav ing a nearsighted person exchange information with a farsighted in dividual.” Dr. Vance E. Moyer, A&M pro fessor and radar meteorologist, said the two sets are being readied under a $19,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. A&M researchers under a $90,200 NSF grant determined the feasibility of the matched set approach. Jake Cangelose as a research engineer has immediate responsi bility for readying the new system. r \ PARDNER You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done At CAMPUS CLEANERS *
