With eight straight victories

but belated rush through the

It's too bad they didn't start
their rush before the front runners

spite the fact the Bucs are seven

brook. He signed to coach the
st. Johns Prep eleven yesterday
and this bit of business procedure
by st. Johns officials practically
assures the Vermont Avenue in
Stitution of another successful
season on the local gridiron.
This opinion, of course, is based
on the splendid showing Holbrook
made with his teams last year.
Holbrook started with only a fair
amount of talent at his disposal
in the fall, but by the time he
had whipped it into shape, st.
Johns had developed prize teams
in both football and basketball.
Two Feats
Two achievements stood out
with Holbrook in these sports. In
football his eleven held the power
full Gonzaga team to a Scoreless
tie in what proved to be a most
unexpected result for prep school
football. In basketball his team
walked off the floor with the Pri-
vate High School title under its
belt.
This latter title was quite an
interesting development to say the
least. Gonzaga and Georgetown
Prep appeared to be the strongest
teams in this competition, in fact.
went down to the final week of
the season battling for first place.
But during that week both had
to play st. Johns. The games
were played and st. Johns won
in each instance. This suddenly
created a deadlock for the cham
pionship. The Johnnies finally
won, following two palpitating
contests.
Tremendous Task
Holbrook naturally faces a tre-
mendous task developing athletics
at this keel again at St. Johns
because so many of his topnotch
players have graduated. However,
he believes a whole lot of trouble
The Washington times., 1935-08-30

will not bob up, particularly after
he gets his youngsters in line and
practice opened for football-the
opening sport of the season.
In connection with football,
Holbrook will cart his gridders
down to the Monument Grounds
every day after school-something
st. Johns teams have found it
necessary to do for the past 10
years. This, of course, is a handi-
cap, but Holbrook believes these
difficulties will be offset if an
ther crackerjack eleven is built.

FLAT PAY ROLL TAX
FAVORED IN HOUSE.
One Per Cent Levy in 1886
Would Begin Insurance
Plan for JobIesS.
Sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee today decided to impose fat
Federal pay roll tax for unemploy-
ment insurance instead of basing the
levy on business conditions.
That change was written into the
pending social security bill, Chair
man Doughton said, with the appar-
ent approval of administration Off
cials.
Under the committees amendment
the tax will be per cent in the 1886
calendar year, 2 per cent in 1887 and
3 per cent-the proposed maximum
In 1888.
This level was the same amount
presented to Congress by the admin
istration except for the elimination
of fluctuations with business condi-
tions.
The committees decision was that
q f1uctuating tax would cause business
uncertainty.
No Effect on State Taxes.
In its present form, the bill would
have no effect upon taxes levied by
States for unemployment insurance
funds. The committee tentatively
approved, however, proviso permit
ting employers who donate to State
funds to obtain 80 per cent credit
on their Federal levies.
The Senate Finance Committee,
meanwhile, closed hearings on the
social security program.
Chairman Harrison said the COM
mittee probably would not begin
actual redrafting of the bill for sew
eral days, because the Senators wanted
time to study the testimony taken at
the month-long hearings.
Doane Last witness.
The concluding witness was Rob-
ert Doane of New York, consulting
economist for Old-Age Revolving
Pensions. Ltd, the organization push
ing the Townsend old pension plan.
He estimated the per cent turn
over tax proposed by the Townsend
plan would raise between $4,000 ,000,-
600 and S5,oOo,0OO 600 a year.
Harrison pointed out that the 5000
a-month pension for the aged, as pro-
posed in the plan, would cost about
S24000,000,0 year. He asked
Doane where the remainder would be
obtained
The economist said a per cent
tax on all transactions, including
credit clearances, would raise the
$24,000,000 in normal times.
