 Repeal Old Age Tax Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 19-(UP)- Repeal of the $3 annual old age as- sistance tax was proposed in the Senate today by Sen. Frank A. Murphy, D., Hartford. He recommended a higher levy on cigarettes and devotion of all revenue from this source to pension benefits.
 The tax on cigarettes now amounts to one mill for each cigarette, or two cents per package. Under the Murphy bill the levy would be in- creased one-half cent per package.
 This. he estimated, would bring in additional revenue of $500,000 a year which, added to the present cigarette tax income, would total 100000 a year.
 "All money paid to the state as 0 cigarette tax shall be applied to a fund used exclusively for old age assistance without specific appro- priation by the general assembly for such purpose" one of a group of three bills proposed.
 Income from cigarette leyies now goes into the general fund. Sen. Murphy did not offer any means of replacing this depletion should the pension tax repeal be approved.
 In another measure he reconi- mended a tax of $50 on all chain stores with Q penalty Of S200 for failure to secure a license.
