FOR INDIANS TAKEN
 UP, CONGRESS
Alaska Delegate Introduces Measure-Discussion
 Given in Detail

WASHINGTON, July 20-(Spe- cial Correspondence)-The subject, old age pensions for Indians, has engaged the attention of many of the members of Congress of both Houses for several months past.
 When the Social Security Bill was first considered and reported to the House, Alaska Delegate Dimond was assured that Indians were in cluded within the provisions of the bill. just the same as other citi- zens of the United States. There seemed to be no doubt about this. The Social Security Bill, however, is a Federal Aid Bill, under which the Government furnishes one-half of the old age pensions provided by the states and territories, up to SIS a month for the Federal con- tribution. So if a state or territory provides an old age pension Of SIS a month, the Federal Govern ment will match this, under the terms and provisions of the bill, so the beneficiary may receive total pension of $30 per month. Of course there is nothing in the Act to pre- vent the states and territories from putting up more than $15 month as their share, but the Federal con- tribution is limited to SIS per month.
 Are Federal Wards
 When the bill was under consid- eration in the Senate, Senator Nor beck secured the inclusion of an amendment whereby the Federal Government would pay all of the pensions to Indians, not to exceed s1 day, thus relieving the states and territories from making con- tribution unless it was desired to give a greater pension than $l a day. This amendment was put in the bill for two reasons: first; be- cause it was thought that the bur- den of paying old age pensions to Indians should be borne by the Federal Government alone, and not by contributions from the states, since the Indians have been con- sidered wards of the Federal Gov ernment and not of the states; and second, because doubt had been ex- pressed as to whether the Social Security Bill really took care of Indians although they are citizens of the United States The bill pass ed the Senate with this amend ment and went to conference. In conference the amendment was stricken out and so. as the bill came back to both House and Sen ate no special provision was made for Indians.
 Yields to Alaskan
 When the conference report was up for consideration in the House. Representative Samuel B. Hill, one of the House confcrees. referred to the Indian amendment whereupon, as shown by the Congressional Rec ord of July IT, pages HITS and Il, ,776. the following occurred:
 MT. Dimond. Will the gentleman yield?
 MT Samuel B.. Hill. yield to the gentleman from Alaska.
 MT Dimond. Is it the gentleman's idea that the bill as drawn applies to Indians as well as other citizens of the United States?
 MT Samuel B. Hill. It does. It is my opinion that aged Indians will receive the same benefits as aged white people or any other aged of the United States. because the h. dians are by virtue of an Act oi (Continued on Page Three)

House Democrats Want to Make Base $5O,0OO

BULLETIN-Washington. July 29.-The Senate late this af- tcrnoon smothered ali attempts of the Republicans on the pro- posal to adjourn by August 10.

WASHINGTON, July 29--A ten- tative decision to broaden vastly the scope of the Roosevelt tax bill by increasing levies on incomes as low as $50,000 has been reached by the House Ways and Means com- mittee Democrats. The Democrats had agreed previously only to in crease ley;es on incomes about $l50,O00 yearly but found to make substantial increase in revenue they would have to drop below that sum.
 One Representative estimated the change would mean revenue from individual income totalling forty to fifty millions instead of twenty millions as previously anticipated.

AMERICAN VIEWS

WASHINGTON. July 29.-Ameri- can Navy officials said that they are reluctant to believe any such program is contemplated. but added that any such development would mean a worldwide ship-buildine race.
 Naval men in Washington were inclined to believe that the report ed program might be intended tc form trading basis in British at- tempts to encourage new naval limitation agreement. The present naval limitation treaties expire in 1936.

DIZZY" BEHIND.
FORM Of LAST
SEASON

Fans today are wondering what
has transformed Dizzy Dean, q 80.
game winner with the Cardinals
last year, into a $3.50 in and outer
this year.
Ball players of rival clubs vary
in their opinions of the dizzy one.
Some say he isn't as fast as he
was; others think he has as much
stuff as ever but has let fame go
to his head; still others believe he
is not keeping in such good condi.
ton as last year.
Be the reason what it may, the
results as evidenced by the box
scores, indicate he will have a diff
ficult time reaching the 20-game
mark at this current pace.
The Pirates fell on him for
eight hits and nine runs in six
heats yesterday. He walked four
and was charged with the 9-5 de-
feat.
May Change
It may be that Dizzy will pull
himself together and run up 20
to Is victories but if so, he'll have
to show more than he has in re-
cent starts.
