Q A friend of mine owes the
Federal Government for income
tax. He received three warnings
to pay but ignored them all Last
pay day he was told by the pay
master that a Government agent
had confiscated his whole pay
and will continue to do so until
the entire bill is paid. He works
at a Government installation. I

A. The Government has the
right to reach almost all of your
property, including ac

employes engaged in private in
dustry and to those working for
the Government. But the Govern
ment must comply with statutory
requirements of notice and de
mand and must continue to com
