PROPOSALS COME
BEFORE CONGRESS

Continued From First Page.)
one-half of / per cent of all salaries,
earnings and income Of all persons
between the ages of 81 and As. to be
paid into the postal savings division
of the Post ONCE Department.
A long list of local civic organi-
cations and welfare societies have in
dorsed the principle of old-age secur-
ity legislation, and number of them
have approved the Copeland Black
bill specifically There also has been
organized a Citizens Committee on
Old Age Security for the District of
Columbia, with Leifur Magnusson as
chairman, and with staff of Off
GERS and an advisory council made
up of persons well known in various
walks of life.
Committee Makes Survey.
This committee undertook volun-
tary survey to gather data as to the
number of persons IS years and over
in the District who might need as
sistance under such law. DeScrib-
ing the survey, Mrs. Richard Hogue,
secretary of the Citizens Committee.
explains that four census districts Of
the city we're used, which gave a de-
tailed study of per cent Of those
IS years Of age or over. Applying
the statistics gathered in this study
to the total population of the city
in the age-group of IS or over, the
conclusion was reached that approx
mately 965 persons would qualify for
assistance under bill along the lines
reported out by the House Committee.
Those who have studied the ques-
tion say the cost is difficult to esti-
mate, depending op the terms of the
various laws. Costs in States that
have adopted old-age pension laws
are reported to be ranging from
S8.03 per month per pensioner in
Utah, to $2380 in New York, with
California spending an average of
S22 08 and New Jersey S15.14.
Representative Norton's report on
the local bill now pending in the
House declares that the old-age pen
sion plan has attracted more atten-
ton in recent years than any other
form of social legislation. Since 1914,
the report points out, "28 of the 48
States have adopted this sane, modern
method of caring for their aged de-
pendent citizens"

ON CODE NOTICES
N. R. A. Grants More Time
for Posting Provisions
on Labor.

An extension Of time for filing ap-
plications for notices Of labor provi-
sions of the retail code, which are re-
quired to be posted in every retail es-
tablishment, has been granted by the
N. r. A.. it was announced yesterday
by the Retail Code Authority for the

The notices, which will contain hour
and wage provisions of the code as
they apply to each business house, are
to be printed by the N. r. A., which
previously had ruled that they be
posted not later than April IA. The
extension has been granted because
they are not yet available.
The code authority pointed out,
however, that application for the no
tices should be made Immediately so
the number of notices needed might
be aScertained. Failure to comply
with this regulation constitutes a vio-
lation of the code, and as such Is pun
ishable by law.
Assessment dues are continuing to
pour into the office Of the Retail Code
Authority, as merchants comply With
the code requirement compelling them

thority on the basis of 81 for each
employe. Payments are made at the
Office of the organization at the head
quarters of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association.
Retailers of coal and wood, 1t was
pointed out yesterday, are not subject
to the retail code, since they are COW
cred by the code for the retail solid
fuel industry. The assessment against
solid fuel retailers for the mainte-
nance Of their code authority is based
on the tonnage Of coal each sold dur
ing 1888. the rate being u Of cent

JEWRY OF CITY
WILL OBSERVE
ATONEMENT DAY
Yom Kippur Services to
Open at Sunset on
tuesday.

q The Day of Atonement or "Yom
Kippur," the most solemn day in
the Jewish calendar, will begin at
sunset Tuesday and end at SUM-
set the following day. 1t is the
tenth day of the month of Tishri.
The whole day is passed in fast
ing and prayer in the synagogs. The
evening service begins with the
chanting of Kol Nidre. The day
proper has four services including
the Mussaf or afternoon service.
The Mussaf service contains a de-
scription of the atonement rites as
practiced in the ancient days IN the
temple at Jerusalem.
According to Jewish tradition ex-
pressed in a ancient lawbook, the
Day of Atonement, when spent in
prayer and repentance, will bring
pardon for sins between man and
God. The sins committed by man
against man can be pardoned only
after reconciliation between men.
This idea is the basis of the eff
fort always made before Yom Kip
pur to bring peace between persons
who have become estranged.
Rabbi Morris NJ. Feuerlicht will
speak on Who Is the Good Jew at
7 Tuesday night at the indianapolis
Jewish Congregation temple. He will
speak again at $50 Wednesday
morning on "Nationalism and Inter
nationaliSm in Jewish Teaching"
Children's services will be held at
1915 Wednesday and a memorial
service will be held at $3.50.
The Rev. Elias Charry and Cantor
Myro Glass will conduct Yom Kip
pur services at Bethel temple which
will include children's and memorial
services.
The year 1896 was welcomed in
by Indianapolis Jewry at shutdown

Il is a dictatorship Of the neces-

Commodities which are imported
