VERDICT UPHELD
ON z REPORTERS
Circuit Court Refuses Ap-
peal in Rockville Con.
tempt Convictions.
BY a Stan Correspondent Of Tn. Star.

BY a staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, September Ia
A motion to strike out the verdict and
set aside the Jail sentences In the cases
of David Lee and Pat Frank. Wash
ington Herald reporters who we're con-
victed of contempt following publica-
ton of the courts secret findings on
John M. Boland In the Lyddane
conspiracy case, was overruled In
Circuit Court this morning.
Stuart S. Janney Of Baltimore, law
partner of former Gov. Albert C.
Ritchie, appealed TO the court to
rescind its previous findings on the
grounds that the evidence against Lee
and Frank was not legally sufficient to
sustain the verdict and that the two
reporters had no opportunity to pre-
pare their defense.
Urner Answers Claim.
Chief Judge Hammond Urner, who
presided over the full Circuit Court
bench which heard the plea, declared,
however. that the defendant had
ample opportunity to make any de-
fense their counsel should have con-
sidered desirable to present"
THE questions which have been
argued in their motion" he stated.
were given most careful consideration
during the hearing. The motion will
be overruled"
At the conclusion Of the hearing
Janney asked for permission to in
corporate an appeal from today's
ruling in the appeal previously fled
with the State Court of Appeals
against the 90-day sentences re-
turned against two newspaper men.
Judge Urner said in reply to
Janney's request that the latter ques-
ton was a matter for the higher
tribunal to decide.
Verdict Was Published.
Lee and Frank were convicted of
contempt shortly after publication in
the Herald of the alleged secret find
ings Of the court at the trial of
BolanI, who was charged with con-
spiracy In the sensational case in
which Mrs. Ann Lyddane of Rock
vile and four Washington police
characters we're charged with plot
ting to murder Francis S. Lyddane
husband Of the pretty bank secretary
Neither Lee nor Frank, who are az
liberty under $4,000 bond each pend
ing the disposition of their appeal to
the State court, appeared in court to-
day. Janney, who addressed the court
for nearly half an hour, said no evi-
dence legally sufficient to sustain the
verdict against the defendants had
been presented in court, and that
there is nothing in the record dis
closing how the act Of contempt had
been committed.
No Testimony From State.
In addition, he declared, there was
nothing to apprize the defendant of
the acts of contempt they were to
enter.
Claiming that Lee and Frank had
no opportunity to prepare a defense,
Janney further asserted that the pro-
ceeding violated their constitutional
right and deprived them Of their
guarantee Of due process of Law.
States Attorney James H. 2ugh a.
tended the hearing, but the court
stated after listening to Janney's
argument that it did not wish to
hear from the State.

W bIlLS LltEO dllh ASo
provisions for payment of pensions
goes Title VIII with the very essen
tial provisions for taxation. For this
particular program both employer
and employe in the eligible industrial
lines are to be assessed, the rates to
be equal in both cases.
Starting on January I, 1897. there
shall be levied upon the income Of
each qualifying individual a tax of
per cent This tax. applicable only
to income up to $4,000 per year. is
in addition to regular income taxes,
and will be computed on gross income
up to the SO 900 mark. and will not be
allowed as a deduction in figuring net
income for other taxation. sIt win be
collected at the source--in other
words, by the employer-by deducting
the amount Of tax from wages as and
when paid.
Rate Jumps In 1910.
In 1910 the rate will increase to
IA per cent. In 1943 it will Jump
to per cent. In 1916 it will become
21a per cent and from January !,
l949, it will continue at 3 per cent.
Along with this levy on employees
will go companion tax at the same
rate upon the gross pay rolls of en-
ployers. Thus, from l949 on the Fed
eral old-age insurance system will be
drawing toll of 6 per cent on total
wages in qualifying industries of the
country.
In the opinion of A. J. Altmeyer,
member of the Social Security Board,
which has jurisdiction over this pro-
gram, this is the most colossal un-
dertaking that this Government has
ever embarked upon. It will involve
an expenditure Of four or five billion
dollars when it gets into full opera
ton"
Collection of the taxes shall be a
duty vested in the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue, with the proceeds to be
paid into the United States Treasury.
AS an aid in collection, the act au-
thorizes the commissioner Of internal
revenue to solicit cooperation of the
Post Office Department in the issuance
of stamps or other devices which
might be used as a collection medium.
Reserve Account Set Up.
In the Treasury Department there
shall be established an old-age re-
serve account and an annual appro-
priation is authorized for this account
in an amount estimated as necessary
for payment Of the pensions.
Outstanding as the major clerical
task facing operation of the entire
social security program is the require
ment in this Federal old-age insurance
system of maintaining q personal
record for every employed person in
the eligible occupations in the United
States. Starting in 1887. this re-
quirement will involve the establish
ment in Washington of tremendous
bookkeeping system wherein each in
dividual's age, his earnings and his
tax contribution must be carefully
compiled.
AS an added administrative item
in this particular program will be
the task of the United States Census
Bureau in confirming the ages Of those
who apply for registration on the
pension list.

BY JOHN c. HENRY.
Most ambitious of all the programs
contemplated under the new social Sc
curity act is that of the Federal old
age insurance scheme outlined in Title
II Of the law.
gram to the Federal-State old-age
assistance idea, this wholly Federal
program goes beyond the basis Of
need and attempts to set up a meas
ure of genuine security for virtually
every person over the age of IS. At
the present time this class of the pop
ulation Of the country totals about
1000, 900 persons, with approximately
100000 of these already benefiting
from State pensions or from F. e. r.
A. grants. The other 100000 are
the ones who win come under the
scope of Title II.
Because Of the nature of their en-
ployment and the complications Of
the tax system designed for this pro-
gram. certain groups are exempt from
this provision of the law. These fol-

State or political subdivision, employ

liable or religious nature.
Formula Complicated.
Starting payments on January 1.
1912, this title sets forth a compli-
Gated formula by which pension
amounts are to be compiled To begin
with, person must be 65 years old
before receiving payment; he must
have earned, In some employment not
among those specifically listed above
as exempt. at least $4,000 total wages
between December 81, 1896, and the
date Of payment Of pension.
Next, counting only that part of
his salary up to $4,000 per year. the
total wages are determined. In other
words, for a person earning $4,000
yearly for five years, the sum taken
for computing the old-age pension
would be only $4,000 per year, or a
total Of $4,000.
On this total eligible wage, one-half
Of / per cent will be taken Of the first
$4,000, one-twelfth Of per cent will
be taken for the next $4,000 and
one-twenty- fourth of per cent will
be taken for all over the s45, 900 mark.
The amount thus reached will be the
sum of the monthly pension. The
minimum monthly pension is set at
$40, while the maximum Is established
at $85.
Table Of Benefits.
On the basis of the above formula. a
sample table of benefits Is computed
as follows:

Manners and Morals
by JANE JORDAN

Dear Jane Jordan-Is there any
way that girl who wants to go to
college and make something out of
herself can do it without money?
In high school I made good grades,
but my dad can not afford my car
fare now. I see girls who whiled
away their time at school who have
to be made to go to college while !
have to sit at home with no money
for the education I so desire. Isn't
there any way that girl can be
financed without having a burden
of debt shadowing her graduation
from college? Is there any one in
Indianapolis who knows how this
can be done? I want to learn more
and more as I get older and only
college can do this for me.
M. E. H.
Answer-Parents are the only
people I know who give away edu-
cation even when it is unappre-
ciated. But many girls work their
way through college, and so can
you. Talk to the registrar at some
college and find out how other
girls manage. Life is mass of
injustices. The strong succeed in
spite of them.

intruder in a closed corporation.
I know of no process whereby
you can break your husbands in
fantile attitude toward his family.
1t is a situation which requires
the utmost patience on your part.
You can not hope to make him see
eye to eye with you.
Your only procedure is to keep
a friendly, impersonal attitude
toward your in-laws, pleasantly
ignoring their Sights, and seeing
them as little as possible without
being rude Logic will net you
nothing, fC- your husbands be-
havior is caused by deep seated
emotion not subject to his will.
You will be quite correct in re-
fusing to be imposed upon. but it
is worse than useless TO nurse hurt
feelings or to expect sympathy
from your husband. Accept your
status as an outsider and make
the best of it.
Dear Jane JCrdan-I am a girl II
years old. I have been going with q
boy 19 since last summer. About q
month ago he fell for another girl
He comes over to see me and tells
me how much he likes me, then
turns around and goes to see
her the next evening. I don't think
it is quite fair to her or to me
either. I know the girl ard know
that she likes him as we'll as I do
Do YOU think should tell him to gs
ahead and go with her and forget
me. although he is the only one
care about?
UNHAPPY AND UNDECIDED.
Answer-Cer,ainly not. AT Is
you should not be looking for
permanence. but simply for a
pleasant time. IF you enjoy the
young mans company one evening,
what earthly difference does it
make where he spends the next
evening? Why should a 1S-year-
old boy settle down to one girl?
Look around for a pinch hitter
when he lights his fires on other
affairs.
