LOWER INCOME TAX
 EXEMPTIONS AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, June 5 - A Senate Ways and Means subcon mittee agreed tentatively today to an amendment to the new ad- ministration tax bill which would lower income tax exemptions tC $500 for single persons and $2,00C for married persons.
 The amendment was adopted to the original $656,000,000 en- ergency tax proposal as a means of providing the most recent bil lion dollar defense request made by President Roosevelt. Subcom mittee chairman J. Cooper, ot Tennessee, said it was estimated that the lowering of income tax exemption would impose income levies on 2,190,000 new tax pay CTS. It also would increase the amount of tax paid by persons al ready taxed under the existing laws.

NEW NATIONAL SOCIAL SECURITY AMENDMENTS NOW BEFORE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Old age pensions or annuitieS for all persons who have passed 50 years were recommended to the Unemployment Conference of the House by it's committee on Soc ial Security and Old Age pen sions in a unanimous report this week. The report will have to be considered by the entire confer enee as part of a final master report which will be made after all committees have completed their recommendations. The Soc ial Security & Old Age Pensions Committee which has been work ing for nearly two months on it's report consists of: Frank B. Keefe (Rep, Wis), chairman; Homer D. Angel lRq Oregon), Franck R. Havenner (Ds Calif0, Gerald ". Landis (R. Indiana) :, Martin Smith (D.. Calif), Jerry Voorhis (D., CalifD, and R. T.. Buckler (Farmer-Labor, Minn.).
 The report contains a careful analysis showing the major im- portance of an old age pension system for our whole economy, and then makes five comprehen- sive recommendations for a ma tional old age annuity system It emphasizes the vital relation be- tween adequate consumer pur- chasing power and national re- covery, showing that purchasing power must keep pace with pro duction or under-consumption and unemployment result. Point ing out that production tends to increase faster than employment, that because of scientific methods of production, part of the people are able to produce enough for all the people and that if all the people do not consume their req sonable share of production with out contributing to that produc- ton, then obviously this group should be those people who have worked the longest and contribut ed most in the past to our nation al wealth and the building up of our very efficient productive ma Nchine." The Committee showed tn. in 1889 the level of produc tioa was equal to the record lbrzaking year in 1929 but that nevertheless more than a million less persons were employed in 1929 than in 1929.

BERGDOLL WILL SERVE HIS FULL TERM

WASHINGTON, June 5 = The Supreme Court wrote final chap ter to the 23-year-old case of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll by re- fusing to reveiw his conviction as World War draft dodger.
 The Supreme Court dismissed his petition for review without comment. The courts action ex- hausts the former Philadelphia sportsman's last resource and means he must serve a prison sen tence of seven years. Bergdoll re turned to the United States from Germany a year ago to face charges after he had esaped from prison on Governors Island in 1920.
The Nome nugget., 1940-06-10

The specific recommendations of the Committee were as fol- lows.
 CD The annuity system should be on the pay-as-you-go basis. The present social security Sys- tenn Is criticised for fits serious defationary influence" since dur ing the fiscal year l940-4l the Old Age and Unemployment h. surance funds together will col lect S1,200,000,O00 more in pay roll taxes than will be paid out in benefits.
 @ Pensions should be paid to all American citizens oyer 60 years of age who are retired from industry. If it is desired to deny the pension to persons who clearly do not need it, 1t could be required that persons who are liable to the payment of federal income tax must return, at the time the tax is paid, any money received as pension pay ments during the previous year. This would leave the pension Sys- tenn as possible, requiring no in- vestigator staff or individual re- cords"
 (3) There should be no differ ence in the amounts paid to per sons in the various states. The states may, of course, supplement the Federal payments if they de- sire.
 (4) The revenue should come from a broad general tax such as the gross income tax as well as from taxes calculated to re- duce the volume of idle funds, such as individual income, inheri tance, estate and gift taxes. (5) The size of the pension should be determined by pro- rating the revenue derived from the special taxes levied for this purpose among all eligible to re- ceive the annuity.
 The Committee concludes that: Such a system as we have out lined would avoid the complicat ed system of bookkeeping now required on the part of individ- ual employers and on the part of the Social Security Board. It would make possible elimination of the cumbersome payroll taxes on employees and employers and of the attempt to maintain indiv idual record on upwards of 40 million workers. It would make possible the inclusion of all occu pational groups of citizens and it would bring to an end the serious

SHIRLEY TEMPLE RETIRES

Shirley Temple, film star vet eran at the age of eleven, has terminated her contract and, for the next five years, will lead a normal life with other girls and boys of her own age in school and during recreation hours.
 The dimunitive screen actress burst upon public favor in 1884 and for years led all other Holly wood favorites in box office ap- peal. She earned around $5,000 a week and is said to have a trust fund established for here bene- fit that totals more than $3,000,- 900. She earned $20,000,000 for studio company. Her parents feel that Shirley should not be depriv ed "of the normal, natural bene- fits that may be derived from mingling and competing with a large number of other children" :" In addition, it is said, the studio does not consider Shirley the No. l star of the screen. Her mother expresses the opinion that this may have been due to the selec- tion of unfortunate story mater ial for the young actress.

CHICAGO, May 21.-World Series
hero last fall. bench-rider this
spring-that's the sad experience of
chunky Charley Keller of the foun-
dering New York Yankees.
The second year" jinx that dulls
the luster OF many freshman stars
Is a very real thing to the 24-year-
old outfelder who became a star
member of the Yankee cast last
summer. He finished the season
with a battling average of 1874 and
blasted out three home runs in the
World Series against Cincinnati,
clubbing the ball at .438 rate in
the fall classic.
Now he's on the sidelines, benched
by Manager Joe Mccarthy for weak
hitting after carving an anemic .231
mark in 81 games.
Strangely, several other freshman
stars have picked up where they
left off a year ago and are riding
high after month of competition.
Ted Williams, Red Sox outfielder,
who batted 1927 year ago while
knocking in 145 runs and blasting
81 homers, is hitting sizzling BAT,
although he's tagging behind in
home-run production.
Among the pitchers Cincinnati's
Gene Thompson is off to a running
start with five victories and two
losses. Last year he won 13 and
lost and had an earned-run aver
age Of 2.55. None of the other

The Yankees Alley Donald, who
won 13 and lost in 1889, has par
ticipated in only two games, being
credited with no wins or losses.
Mort Cooper, st. Louis Cards
youngster. has yet to win game
while Ike Pearson Of the Phils and
John Kramer Of the st. Louis
Browns, have only victory apiece.
Detroit's Barney McCosky is an
other gardener apparently unaf-
fected by the jinx. He is batting
$40 and fielding brilliantly. He hit
.311 year ago. Mike fresh, catcher
for the Chicago White Sox, looks
better than ever this season. He hit
only .259 as a yearling, but now is
whacking at 1925 clip, which looks
good even allowing for shrinkage
later on.
Two others giving no thought to
the jinx are Merrill May, Philly third
baseman, and Eddie Miller, Bees
shortstop. May is hitting 1888 and
Miller 1925, considerably above their
1889 marks, and delivering steadily
in the field.
Rocking along about on par with
their rookie performances are Jim
Tabor, the Red Sox strong-armed
third baseman; Glen Russell, Cubs
first baseman who shines in the
clutch. and Johnny Berardino,
smooth-f fielding inf1elder Of the st.
Louis Browns.

That situation existed until the

In the eighth, though, the Mats
contributed four singles and Third
Baseman Bob Kennedy Clipped in

Welaj and Gerald Walker smashed
