SCIENCE NEWS EDITOR, AMA
Alcoholism is a very difficult disease
to treat, but it can be done.
A certain percentage of alcoholics
can be treated successfully, says a
pamphlet fr Jm the American Medical
Association. Not all are hopeless cases.
Most alcoholics should be
hospitalized in the early phases of
treatment, to treat health problems
arising from drinking and to interrupt
drinking patterns. Some general
hospitals offer treatment programs,
other programs are in psychiatric
hospitals, and comprehensive centers
for alcoholics are available in most
larger communities. Personnel
.especially trained to deal with the
problems function as teams in the
treatment centers. Rehabilitation is
emphasized.
Treatment is directed toward helping
alcoholics find a new way of life free of
alcohol. It helps alcoholics to under-
stand and accept their problem, and
gives encouragement to overcome the
sense of inadequacy that caused the
disease initially.

Treatment of alcoholics, no matter
how comprehensive, frequently breaks
down as soon as they leave the hospital
or doctor's office.
On their own again, the alcoholics are
face to face with the very real issues of
where they will go, what they will do,
and what they can expect from others.
There is strong likelihood they will be
unable to withstand much stress
without resorting to alcohol again.
The physician realizes that his' role is
limited, and that truly remedial treat-
ment requires the combined efforts of
many persons in the total rehabilitation
of the patient and the family.
Many agencies and organizations
~t concerned with alcoholism belong to
he Alcohol and Drug Problem
Association of North America. The
Association's office (1101 15th St. N. W.
Washington, D. C. 20036) will furnish
complete information on resources
available in any community in the
country.
Most states have state-level
alcoholism programs and many local
government programs exist. Many
communities have an Alcoholism In-
formation Center.
One organization that is successfully
aiding alcoholics is Alcoholics
Anonymous.

employer are also subject to social
security or railroad retirement taxes.
Failure to report tips correctly can
result in a penalty.
Employees who receive tips of $20 or
more for a month are required to report
the full amount to their employers.
Document 5635, which contains Form
4070A, "Employee's Daily Record of
Tips," is helpful in recording tips. Pub.
505, "Tax Withholding and Estimated
Tax," has additional information on the
procedure for reporting tip income.
Military personnel, because of the
nature of their lifestyle -- family
seperation, moving, uniforms and other
factors--receive special tax treatment
in certain cases. Military pay generally
is taxable, but allowances are not. The
replacement period for the purchase of
a new residence after the sale of a
residence is extended. These are just
two examples of this special tax treat-
ment. IRS Pubs. 520 and 555 are helpful
for military personnel tax information.
Non-resident aliens, beth those who
live in the U. S. and those who only work
here, also have a special tax situation.
This is true as well for non-resident
alien spouses. They are generally taxed
only on income from sources within the
United States. Rates and laws in some
instances are different from those of
citizens and resident aliens.
Resident aliens, on the other hand,
enjoy the same tax benefits as citizens.
Pub. 519, "U. S. Tax Guide for Aliens,"
is a helpful reference.
Teachers who travel as a form of
education generally can deduct travel
expense only if a major part of their ac-
tivities during the travel directly main-
tains or improves skills required for
their teaching positions. Further
details on when and how travel can be
deducted are in IRS Pub. 508,
"Educational Expenses."
High school and college instructors
can rece|ve tree films and teaching
materials for use in their classrOoms.
"Understanding Taxes" is the high
school level curriculum package, while
"Fundamentals of Tax Preparation" is
for the college classroom. Both
packages contain teaching guides and
student course materials.
Many high schools and colleges
receive ordering materials
automatically through the mail each
year. Faculty members whose schools
are not yet on the IRS mailing list may
request further information about the
teaching packages by contacting the
taxpayer education coordinator in their
IRS district office. They can reach the
coordinator with the IRS forms/tax in-
formation number. Various IRS
publications can also be ordered this
way.
The deaf and hearing-impaired have
the same tax problems and tax respon-
sibilities as the general publication.
The IRS operates a year-round tax in-
formation service for deaf and hearing-
impaired taxpayers who own or have
access to TV/Telephone-TTY Equip-
ment. ,For information about this ser-
vice, call from anywhere in the U. S.
The number is 1-800-428-4732.
In an organization as large as the
IRS, errors are bound to occur. Lost or
delayed refunds, misapplied payments
and mix-ups in taxpayer accounts are
some common problems which can
usually be solved with a phone call or a
letter to the IRS.
If the taxpayer's problem persists he
should call the Problem Resolution
Program (PRP) for priority service.
An IRS problem resolution officer can
usually see a quick solution. He or she
will also investigate the cause of the
breakdown in an effort to prevent a
reoccurance.
There is a problem resolution office
in each IRS district. PRP can be
reached by mail or through the IRS
forms/tax information number.
Many groups and individuals with
special tax needs find IRS assistance
useful throughout the year. But even
those who consider themselves
"average" find themselves engaging in
activities involving special tax needs.
Tax problems may arise any time of
year. Help is available through the IRS
telephone system. There is no charge
for IRS assistance or publications.
