TAX LAWS GAPS
EYED BY HOUSE
BY Universal Service

ny OuAVEEShA service
The House Ways and Means
subcommittee tackled the income
tax problem yesterday and sought
to devise means for plugging
gaps in existing legislation through
which much potential Federal
revenue escapes.
The income tax produced $780,
100000 for the Governments cof-
fers in the last fiscal year, meet
ing only about one-third the sum
procured from this impost in an
earlier twelve-month period.
Explaining the task of his
group, Chairman Hill Cd, OF
Washington, said:
"The present law provides
that gains registered by the
transfer of corporation stock
from one group or company to
another shall not be subject TO
Federal income tax. We are
trying to stop up this hole"
The Hill group must decide
whether increases in income tax
schedules will operate to swell
the volume of revenues from tEis
source, or rather to decrease it,

H|CCOUGH GIRL
To RECOVER

Despite the fact that she has
been hiccoughing for 81 weeks,
doctors who are treating Miss
Gladys Meek, are optimistic as to
her probably recovery.
She has lost only eight pounds,
they said, eats and sleeps well,
and through the use of sedatives
has had relief from the hiccoughs
for six consecutive hours. X-rays
taken yesterday failed to reveal
any organic trouble, and the
phrenic nerve has not been rup-
tured. However, the cause of the
hiccoughs still remains a mys-
terry.
Miss Meek left Providence last
Thursday for her home in the
5000 block of Volta Pl. N. w.,
when the insurance company re-
fused to pay for further treat
ment. She was sent to Gallinger
for treatment yesterday when it
was found that home facilities
were inadequate.

VET GUT SAVES
S250.000,000

Veterans expenses were cut by
about $3.50 100000 during the
last year, according to official
figures just revealed which show
the extent of the slash made
under the economy program.
Last year $77S,O16.00O went to
veterans, but this year only $751;
$4,000 was appropriated, not in
cluding adjusted service certifi-
cate payments. If $50,000,000 is
added for reduction in funds for
paying the certificates, the total
slash is about 100000, 900.
Originally g. cut of $4,000 900
in payments to veterans was pro-
posed. and the cuts actually made
represent a compromise.

Despite the cost of equipment

regular, first class rail travel. In
fact one can fly from San Fran

How the Senators
Voted

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-By a roll

bill an apparent legal guaranty for
company unions as against genuine
labor unions-the debate on this is

of the great days work on the meas

Wheeler of Montana, made the fight
for labor unionism. Clark of Mis-
souri,, King of Utah and Hastings of
Delaware tried in vain to save COM
pany unionism as the collective bar

dustries.
Norris offered the motion to recon-
slider and reject the amendment, which
had been approved without discussion
while he was off the floor. He
pointed out that what Congress had
achieved a year ago, in banning the
yellow-dog contract, appeared to be
nullified by the amendment, which
provided that Nothing in this title
(the industrial control section) shall
be construed to compel a change in
existing satisfactory relationships be-
tween employees and employers of any
particular plant, firm, or corporation,
except that the employees of any par

NEBRASKA BECOMES
18TH PENSION STATE

Joining the twenty-four sister states
with old age pension laws on their
statute books, Nebraska enacted in
to law the bill sponsored and steered
through the Legislature by Senator
Joseph Bren providing for mandatory
pension grants to INDECENT men and
women who have reached the age of
65 years.
The measure was given overwhelm-
ing approval by the House of Rep
r~esentatives. The Senators voted 90
to 8 for its enactment. 1t became law
on May IL through the signature of
Governor Charles w. Bryan and will
go into effect in August. The max
imum allowance was set at $40 month
ly, state residence is required for Is
years, and a similar term of citizen
ship is also required.
The costs of the system will be de-
frayed by the counties which will raise
the funds from a head tax of so cents.
County boards will administer the
law.
While the legislative season has
not yet been wound up" several leg
islatures being still in session, the
pension harvest so far has already
reached unprecedented and impressive
proportions. Since January, no less
than nine states have enacted new
pension laws. Pension states now
number twenty-five, of which nineteen
have mandatory acts. All the new
laws are mandatory and statewide in
character.
New laws have been enacted so far
in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, In
diana, Maine, Nebraska, North Da-
kota, Oregon and Washington. Of
the new laws passed, two provide for
direct payments by the states. Four
other laws provide for state assist
ance, usually one-half of the cost of
payments. Four of the laws have set
the pensionable age at IS and one at
68 instead of 70, the usual age for
merly required. The grants provided
by the new laws range from $3.50 per
year to 81 per day, with the latter
figure the most common.
The optional law of Minnesota has
also been made mandatory and state
wide. The State of Massachusetts has
provided means of financing the pen
sion system on a sound and perma-
nent basis. An amendment to the
New Jersey law will make the state
share of three-fourths quickly avail
able to the counties through monthly
instead of quarterly payments.
