Lukianenko, who has been a pro­ minent figure in the Ukrainian human and national rights movement since the late 1950s and early 1960s, was brought to trial Monday, July 17, in the town of Horodnia in northern Ukraine. He was charged with anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda, apparently stemming from his activity with the Ukrainian Public Group to Promote the Imple­ mentation of the Helsinki Accords. 20th Captive Nations observance in U.S. Congress, Left to right: the Rev.

The three of us agreed to each assume one-third of the financial responsibilities, but we don't know who can claim our CHIST ^ „ brother as a dependent. Can we all claim him?

The tax law does not allow one depen­ dent to be claimed on more than one return, or even "split" proportionately RUMAS = among more than one return. Q - I recently read that Congress is anticipating changing the federal tax ZRUBYT ^ laws so that personal property taxes would no longer be deductible on my federal tax return. Would this include the property tax I pay on my home?
