Pilot Yeager Survives Capture After Crocodile Tail Chase
Somewhere in New Guinea on June 25 pilot Lieutenant Paul Yeager from Nowata Oklahoma parachuted from a disabled P-38 during a combat mission. After two days in jungle near an American air base he was evacuated by air corps enlisted men, carried on a crude litter, then across a lake in a rubber raft pursued by a crocodile. An airplane strafed the water to scare the reptile away as Yeager endured the harrowing ordeal with minor injuries.

New Pay-At-You-Go Tax Deductions Set
The new pay at you go tax deductions take effect after July 1 and will be subtracted from pay checks. Proportions apply to biweekly semi monthly monthly or irregular payroll periods. Additional dependents lower the deduction amount for both single and married workers. Employers may deduct 20 percent of pay above personal exemptions instead of the table with year end adjustments on tax return.
Alimony Forgotten In Pay As You Go
Washington tax authorities announced that pay-as-you-go income tax rules require a compulsory saving for alimony. The 20 percent withholding applies to earnings, yet no adjustment is provided for alimony payments, though alimony is deductible at year end. An example shows a man earning $190 weekly and paying $5 weekly in alimony, leading to about $790 withheld annually.
