Anti-Bingo Bill. Forecast To Curb Playing In State
New Haven, Bridgeport Stop Game-Taverns
 Join in Pastime

Following on the heels of news that bingo games will be banned in New Haven and Bridgeport after the first of the year came a report today that a bill will be introduced at the 1887 session of the general assembly specifically forbidding the game and set- ting down stiff penalties for those convicted of its vio- lation.
 Sporadic action against the game has been taken in the past two years in this state, but no concerted statewide drive has ever been att tempted. Police in various cities and towns have closed down bingo games on various occasions, the legal department being one of those which took such action some months ago. At present, however, numerous games are operating in the city, the game being played in several halls every night of the week. Bingo parties are sponsored by fraternal organizations, church societies, and other groups.
 The state liquor control commis- sion has underway an investigation into weekly bingo parties at taverns. Several local taverns follow this practice, allegedly in violation of the liquor laws, and the commission may revoke license in some cases.
 New Haven police have begun an investigation of bingo games in that city and are preparing for action, while in Bridgeport the prosecuting attorney has announced that the game will be banned after January l. Most prosecutors believe that the statutes governing gambling, already on the books, cover the game, but the proposed new statute would leave no doubt about its money and hence is receiving strong sup port in many quarters.

work. The lodges are listed among the most influential of Italian so- cieties,> having a national member ship of more than 350,000 persons. Tl.e new community recreational facilities planned will be for the city and many residents among the Italian population will be the ben- eficiaries of the social results.
 Plans Outlined
 The activities of the Italia Pro- gressiva society were among the most outstanding events held in the city until the advent of the recent economic struggle. when due to un- employment conditions the lodge was faced with 8 rapid loss of membership and the community program which had been taking place at Liberty hall was brought to an end witt, a mortgage forclosufe on the premises.
 Che of the major objects of the future program will be to seek re- possession of Liberty Hall, which until this time has been used on q rental basis from 8 local banking firm.
 With the completion of a mem- bership campaign now in progress and its social reestablishment, the lodge plans to participate in com munity observances, such as pa- rades, and any benefit which re- QuireS civic support.

sometime unfulfilled promises of bonuses to the workers.
 During the past few months the three largest manufacturing con- cerns of the city, namely scovill's Chases' and the American Brass, gave 5 per cent raises in pay to their daily help. The belief that bonuses might be granted for Christmas was strengthened, it was stated, by reports from other cities where employees in stores and indus trial plants were 50 honored.
 Fav0rs Wage
 John H. Goss, vice-president and general superintendent of the Scovill company, stated today that he favors permanent pay raises rather than indefinite promises of bonuses. "The people working in our plant at the present time are receiving considerably more than they did in 1929. It is true that the hours are shorter but the hourly AaVC 10 AAl6AlSAss GCOptC VOu6y Wd1lt shorter hours for working. They are getting them but they are re- ceiving more for their services. If anybody has been skipped in the pay raises we will keep digging for them.
 A. B. Approves
 Clifford P. Hollister, vice-presi- dent, secretary and treasurer of the American Brass company, stated no bonus is being considered at his plant. Weekly salaries are now back to the all-high level of 1930," he declared. He also pointed out that he favored permanent pay raises rather than temporary bonuses that might be discontinued without notice.
 Rodney Chase, assistant secretary of the Chase company, voiced an opinion similar to that of MT. Goss and MT. Hollister. He also pointed to the per cent raise in pay given brass workers a short time ago and stated that such raises, being per- manent in nature, are much better than promises of temporary rewards to help.

international News Service

The deadlock on the vital cor
poration tax provisions Of the
83O-million-dollar tax bill was
broken today in the Senate-HouSs
conference, with indications Of ~
full agreement and adjournment
of Congress by Saturday or Mon
day night.
While there was a possibility
that the tentative corporation tax
agreement would be upset, and
the threat Of filibuster hung
over the Senate, Democratic lead
ers had high hopes of bringing
the session to a close.
The tentative agreement,
reached after a bitter fight Of
more than a weeks duration, rep
resented a real compromise be-
tween the Roosevelt plan and the
Senate bill.
Terms of Compromise
The proposal was:
Retain present system Of cor.
poration tax on all income, but
with rates graduated from 8 per
cent on $4,000 net income to 10
per cent on $4,000 to $25,0O0; 13
per cent on 5000 to $4,000, and
Is per cent on all over $4,000.
Present rates range from 1212 to
Is per cent.
Superimpose q tax on undiS'
tributed profits ranging: Seven
per cent on first 10 per cent re"
tanned; IL per cent on next 10 per
cent; II on next 20; % on next
20, and 27 on so per cent or over.
Under the compromise the Ad-
ministration gains recognition Of
the principle of it's proposal to
revolutionize corporation taxation
by basing levies on undistributed
income.
Senate Yields Much
The Senate won retention OF the
present system of a tax on all cor
poration income, regardless OF
whether it is paid out in dividends.
In the tentative agreement the
Senate conferees went much fur.
ther toward adoption of the RooSe-
velt undistributed corporation tax
plan than the Senate was willing
to go. The Senate merely approved
a z per cent tax on undiStributed
earnings.
