U.S. to send in Apache helicopter gunships DAVID PETERS HYUNDAI SUBARU SOON TO BE SUMMERALL 1309TeXM* ~IMPOR TS,NC. HYNECEKV 1 ' Congress looks at ‘Marriage penalty’ mi Uli ■M tit H (ho ige incltf shirt am 90P !0R 1999 AI INIVEtf EANS lions LSTAR IVASHINGTON (AP) — Most Imericans have never heard of dvien Kellems. But if they are mar- and each spouse earns rough- Ihe same salary, they should eep her in mind while filling out leir income tax returns. ■Cellems, who died in 1975, was ■rominent Connecticut busi- esswoman who successfully lob- ied Congress in 1969 to change ie tax code so it would not dis- riminate against unmarried dults. Single people had been at a ax disadvantage to married cou- les since 1948. But when one group gains from nkering with the progressive tax ode, another loses. Such is the ase with the “marriage penalty” w affecting 21 million couples pay an average of $ 1,400 more tan if they had not tied the knot. Congress is weighing at least one osal to help some married cou- , hoping to tap the budget sur- to cover the reduced revenue. Kellems, of East Haddam, n., was a manufacturer of cable s who founded War Widows of rica with actress Gloria Swan- Hus son and campaigned against unfair tax treatment for single women. She noted millions of women in her generation were unmarried be cause of a post-World War II short age of potential husbands. “What do you do if you can’t get a husband? Should you be taxed for that?” she testified before a con gressional committee, according to “The Decline (and Fall?) of the In come Tax” by Yale University law professor Michael J. Graetz. Decades later. Congress is wrestling with a polar-opposite problem: The entry of millions of women into the work force is exac erbating the marriage penalty in the tax code. “Today, the only form one can file to avoid the marriage tax penal ty is paperwork for divorce,” said Rep. Jerry Weller, R-Ill., sponsor of a bill with 230 co-sponsors aimed at eliminating the disparity. The penalty is caused by Amer ica’s progressive tax system, which taxes income at different rates based on how much someone earns and whether a taxpayer is single or married. WASHINGTON (AP) — In a risk-laden escalation of the Amer ican military commitment, the United States has agreed to send 24 Apache helicopter gunships and 2,000 troops to Albania, giv ing NATO the ability to directly attack Serb troops and tanks in Yugoslavia, the Clinton adminis tration said Sunday. To protect the Apaches, U.S. troops will man 18 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems deployed to Albania as well with short- and medium-range missiles that can take out Yugoslav air defenses throughout Kosovo, where ethnic Albanians are under greatest at tack. Some 14 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, military police and in telligence officers are included. Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon said deploying the Apach es and rocket launchers was “a logical expansion” of the nearly two-week-old NATO airstrikes to halt Yugoslav Slobodan Milose vic’s military drive against Koso vars in the Serbian province. NATO leaders meeting Mon day must approve using the weapons, followed by President Clinton. “It’s to give us the type of tank-killing capability that the bad weather has denied us,” Ba con said. The Apache AH-64A, Apache helicopter gunships will be sent to Albania for use against Serb targets in Kosovo. Length: 57 ft. 8 in.
