Morgenthau Urges
Higher Rate For
Pension Taxation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. W,P)-
The administration through Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., secretary of the
treasury, today recommended that
contrihutory old age pension taxes
in the security bill be increased
sharply to prevent huge federal
contributions in years to come.
Morgenthau proposed to the house
ways and means committee that
pay rolls and earnings taxes under
the contributory old age annuity
system start at two instead Of one
per cent as provided in the bill.
They would increase to six per cent
at the end of IL years instead Of
five per cent at the end of 20 years.
Morgenthau said the change
would facilitate the continued OPP
Grafton of the system on an ade-
quate and sound financial basis
without imposing heavy burdens
upon future generations.

They jefked their quivering horses back on
their launches and sat frozen, eyes ques-

panying them were jumbled in tight knot.
In that green place the color Of Lina's face
was CHASTITY. Glyndalls calm was shattered.
He shivered as if in fever.

Glyndall dug his heels into his horse, and

the drums, the brown people expected them.
A hut had been prepared on one bank of the

other. So friendly the inhabitants, so normal
everything, that for time the fantastic event
was completely forgotten.
When the moon rose, the lovers sat on
boulder by the stream which chuckled coolly
on its way to the sea. Another endless cere-
mony was in progress on the further bank.
Glyndall swore he'd put stop to it when
they were ready for bed Meanwhile the drums
tapped and the reedy voices walled and the
brown bodies swayed. A witch-doctor moved
before fire. The herbs he scattered gave off
clouds of aromatic smoke. Drums and voices
swept up louder, faster, to snap off into
tingling silence.
"Ah!' gasped Lima.
Still and stiff, they stared across the silver

at the couple. Murder! Murder will out!

The drums beat again while those peasants

sure and ruthless, but frightened as lost chill

could do. The witch-doctor had sent ghost
on their trail. What remedy for thatl They
stole away to the hut. Still dressed. they crept
under the mosquito net and flung themselves
on camp beds, clammily cold though the hut
was an oven. And they listened.
The singing and the drums tailed off, leav-
ing only the noises of the night. Yet when at
last they fell into uneasy sleep, it was only to

Tart stared at it, his eyes wide

surprise had passed he thought,
with a flood of relief, of the tear

reach out with one foot and touch

But the red-haired man was

In the ordered quiet of the lit
tie bank the crash of the auto
matte was like the explosion of a
1O-inch shell. Mr.. Hobart spun

the floor, oblivious to guns, tear
gas and everything else. A stenog-
rapher, who was clicking a type
writer a dozen feet away, gave a
frightened little scream and look
ed up with a face as white as milk,
her hands frozen to her typewrlt-

man with the gun smiled evilly

pointed at one after another in

The red-haired man had gone
behind the grille. He cast con-
temptuous glance into Mr.. Ho-

motionless in pool of blood, and
motioned with his automatic for
the young clerk to open the safe.

The car came up low rise,

outskirts of a little town. The
! driver eaScd its speed down to a
scdate rs, and the car slid silently
! down trce-lined street, past
white houses that drowsed amid
shaded lawns. The driver brought
lit almost to stop as they reached
an intersection, and the man be-
side him said, "Next one to the
right, and two blocks down."
, The next one proved to be the
towns main business street. The
driver swung the wheel and the
car proceeded to the right, thru
the Saturday morning traffic.
Not far ahead was a one-story
| building of white stone. Broad
stone steps led up to the door; a
window beside the door had big
gold letters announcing that this
was the National Bank of Maple
hurst.
The curb before the bank was
vacant and the car unostentatious-
" drew up to a halt beside it.
The driver did not shut the motor
off; instead he simply shifted into
low gear, kept his foot on the
clutch pedal, and lolled behind the
wheel in the decepticely careless
manner which seemed to be his
unvarying habit.
The doors of the car opened.
The two men in the back. seat got
out first; the red-haired man kept
one hand in his coat pocket, and
the smaller one folded his arms to
carry a large. ungainiy something
under his coat. They looked cas-
ually up and down the street and
walked mot the bank, the red
haired man in the lead. Then the
broad-shouldered youth in the
front seat walked up the steps and
stood bv the door, a sub=machne
gun in his hands, peering up and
down and across the street from
under his hat brinl.
The hank was quiet and peace
full, inside. Mr.. Hobart, back at
the cashiers cage, was counting
out a thin sheaf of bills to a farm
cr; he looked up and smiled dry,
bankers smile as the farmer peck
eted the money and stepped away,
and saw burlv man with red hair
striding toward him.
This man wasted no moves,
Halfway across the lobby he took
his right hand from his pocket. IL
