Adams shore filling station attend ant, heard by radio today that he and his 44-year-old bachelor broth- CT, Frank, had won $150,000 in the Irish Free State Hospital sweep stakes-then went back to filling automobile tanks.
 Frank, too, heard the news by radio while at work as a shipping clerk in 8 Boston paint concern. They held ticket on Don Bulger, the winning horse.
 Besieged by newsmen, Charles said he had no intention of quit ting his $23-a-week job.
 ''The same goes for my brother, too," he added. "The money is go- ing into a trust fund at the Granite Trust Company. We've already ar- ranged for that"
 The sweepstakes enriched other New Englanders by $181,710
 For holding a ticket on Daytona, which placed second, Celia Jillson of Providence, R. l., will receive $75,00O.
 Thomas J. Walsh of Lynn, Mrs. Ira Codish of RoXbury and Israel MoSkowitz of Athol will receive $2,965 each for holding tickets on starting horses.
 S97,815 Consolation
 A total of $97,815 more will be distributed as consolation and resi- dual prizes and to holders of tickets on non-starters.
 Charles acted as spokesman for the Kranefuss brothers. It was he who originally bought the ticket and then sold half of 1t to Frank for SIPS several days ago they rejected an offer of $10,000 for it.
 The stocky, rudy complexioned bachelor wiped a greasy smudge from his forehead as he laughingly rejected all thoughts of romance.
 We have no idea of getting mar ried," he said. That would be one of the quickest ways I know of tc spend the $150,000. A lot of guys have been down to see me about investing this money. I sent them all up to the Trust Company. A lot of other fellows have been trying to borrow some dough, but any l give away will be to the church."
 Charles said he had been pretty lucky" anyway lately.
 I won $5 at 8 beano party last night" he explained.
 The brothers have lived alone in a IF k-story dwelling on Seagul road for the past 12 years after moving from Roxbury.

containing certain inaccuracies, u governor has instructed me to make this statement and to make public a correct statement of the nature of the commissions recommenda tions.
 "The various controversial mat ters upon which the commission has made recommendations represent only the opinions of a majority of the members of the commission and the actual decision on all of these matters and on the question as to whether any action shall be taken is entirely the responsibility of the members of the special session of the general assembly,"
 'There is 8 merit rating provi- sion," Beers said, under which em- ployers with low employment rates are allowed reduced contributions after 1940. The especially stable em- ployer and employees will, after c time, be allowed to cease contribut- ing"
 Tax on Payrolls
 The state tax on employers would be g per cent on 1886 payrolls; 1.8 per cent on 1887 payrolls. and 2.7 per cent on payrolls of 1888 and later years. Employees would pay one per cent on their wages for 1887, which rate would be increased until in 1948 he would pay three per cent of his income.
 Under the system of benefits, . person would receive 8 maximum of $l5 @ week for period of not more than 13 weeks in one year. No mini- mum scale of payments is men, tioned.
 All disputes and claims before the district commissioners might be ap- pealed to superior court under the proposed law.
 Governor Regrets It
 Hartford, Conn, Oct. 28. (UP)- Governor Wilbur L. Cross today ex- pressed regret" at the publication of an "unoff1cial" report of the state commission named to draft an un- employment insurance law, which appeared in 8 morning newspaper.
 Philip Hewes, secretary to the gov- ernor, said "the commission has tried to avoid just that thing by de- laying publication of the proposed law until 1t is presented to the gen. eral assembly next week."
 Hewes quoted the governor as say ing T didn't want the matter ot social security thrown into politics. That is just what has happened"

From this Judgment, the appeal was tak- en, by the administrative for 8 disallowance of certain credits claimed by her, and by the ad- ministrator for allowance of cer- tain credits to her, which he deemed unjust.

Ad- ministering the estate in such man. ner, she seriously jeopardized the interests of the general creditors.

 Name of Queen Problem
 But if he married anyone but a woman of royal blood, or a daugh- ter of a duke, marques or earl, he would have to ask special parlia. mentary legislation to give her the rank of queen.
 Lacking this, his wife would be of what is called morganatic status, his legal wife but not queen. She would not be acknowledged as of the royal circle, aside from the kings private circle. The king could create his wife a duchess. But still she would not have royal status and would hold no royal position in state affairs or at state functions.
 Londeners Haven't Heard
 London, October 28. (UP) = Londoners read today that Mrs Ernest Simpson has been granted a divorce, but they were not told that she was the Mrs. Simpson who is a close friend of King Edward.
 The stately Times gave the bare
 
 fact under the headings "Undefended Divorce Petition" and Cost at Ips- wich Assizes." The conservative Daily Telegraph sandwiched its brief factual report between two police court items on Page 8. The headline of the Morning Post story was "undefended Suit: Waiter Gives Evidence.
 Surprisingly, the Daily Express. which customarily plays up divorces and family rows buried the case on page 9, although it published re- ports of other divorce cases - two of them on its first page.
 The News Chronicle had pig headline Divorce for Mrs. Ernest Simpson" over bare report of the hearing, and followed with a refer ence to Mrs. Simpson as well known American hostess.

NEW PLANS FOR
 COMPENSATION

 The Connecticut law must be passed before January 1, 1887, in or- der that the tate enjoy benefits from federal legislation already en- acted.
 All employers of five or more workers would be affected by the proposed law. Employees of charit- able institutions, agricultural and domestic labor and government enl- ployes would not come under its pro- visions, as now stipulated.
 To be eligible, an employe would be compelled to register at a public employment service; he would be physically and mentally capable of working; must have earned at least $500 before being eligible for bene- fits, and would have to wait at least two weeks after loss of employment in order to receive compensation.
 Depends on Federal Act
 Contributions and benefits would cease automatically if the federal social security act be amended, re- pealed or declared unconstitutional.
 In 8 statement, Beers said the commission planned to withhold provisions of the draft until after election day.
 "It was felt" he said, "that the last few days of 8 heated national campaign in which social security has become an important issue was no time in which rational discus sion could be started of the enact- ing of an unemployment compensa- ton law that Connecticut ought to adopt this year or even whether Connecticut should take any action.

Charles T. Russell, deputy COM
missioner. -aid yesterday the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau has received
several inquiries" recently regarding
corporate salaries and their relation
to corporate tax payments.
Under the law. he said, the bureau
may contest "unreasonabl BILE" salaries
and-for taxing purposes-disallow
them in part as corporate operating
expenses.
Pay Considered Too High.
Thus. Russell explained, il a corpo-
ration paid an officer a salary con-
sidered too high by the bureau, the
bureau might rule that only part
of it could be classified as an operat-
ing expense
Even should the bureau hold that
all the salary could not be included
in operating expenses. he continued.
the corporation could appeal to the
Board Of Tax Appeals or to the
courts. making it a matter for judicial
determination
No Authority to Fix Salary.
He emphasized the bureau has no
authority to fix salaries, and said it
cannot make any decision on whether
salary is unreasonable until after
corporation has filed a tax return
The bureau bases decisions on
whether salaries are unreasonable, he
asserted, by comparing them with
salaries paid in other similar corpo-
rations Of approximately the same
size.
Reports that any attempt is being
made to tell corporations what sala-
ries they may pay were characterized
in other Internal Revenue Bureau
sources as ridiculous"
