 FROM SETTLEMENT

 Couples in Some States
BY JOHN R. BEAL

VUuIte0 KEeSS SkAH NUEECSROnuCutI
 Washington, August 2S-(UP) - A fight within the Senate finance committee over means of taxing the incomes of married couples in the eight community property states threatened today to delay fin al action on the pending tax bill
 The question-reopened by Sen Bennett c. Clark, D., Mo-involves $51, 100000 of the $3,503 900, 900 tax bill before the committee.
 The committee voted, 13 to 5, on Monday to tax according to source the incomes of married persons ill the community property states Texas, Louisiana, Arizona. New . Mexico, California, Idaho, Nevada and Washington.
 7 In those states the income of a husband and wife becomes their ; Joint or community" property au- tomatically. They may file two fed . eral income tax returns dividing :. the income between them. If hus- band earns $10000 8 year and his wife nothing, they save money by } making two $5 ,0O0 returns and pay ing the lower surtax rates.
 Tried To Compel All < In the new tax bill, the treasury sought to compel all married cou. ples to file joint returns, but tht s House defeated the proposal. Tht ], Senate committee then added ar is amendment to the bill to tax earn ed incomes in community property states according to origin and ta1 income from property according tt management and control, thus pre- venting the splitting of income be- tween the marital partner who earned 1t and the one who didn't T This amendment was intended tc eliminate inequalities betwee T community property and other states.
 N Sen. Tom Connally, D., Tex, i: l. leading the fight to eliminate the , amendment from the Senate bill ! and has promised fight on the < Senate floor if the committee re- : fuses to reconsider.
 The fight may delay final com. mittee action. The committee ha: ~ completed work on virtually all sec- \ tions except those relating to exces: z profits and a few excises.
 After approving numerous House excise taxes, the committee yester. eliminated the proposed evy or radio time sales and outdoor adver. tiSing.
 May Be Substitute
 It appointed a subcommittee however, to study the possibility o drafting substitute in the nature of franchise" tax to replace thu radio levy. The radio tax would raise an estimated $l2,500,000 { year.
 The committee revised the tele' phone and telegraph tax as follows
 On telegraph, radio and cabl' messages the tax would be 10 pel cent of the cost of the message.
 On leased wire talking and tele' Typewriter circuits, the tax woult be 10 per cent instead of five pel cent as in the House bill.
 General news tickers and burglar alarm systems would be exempt.
 Telephone taxes would remain a in the House bill-11ve cents on eacl 50-cents on calls costing more thar "A cents.
 Among House excise taxes ap proved by the Senate committe, were the levies on retail sales o furs, jewelry and toilet articles.
 The committee also voted to re tain the Houses $5 annuau use ta, on motor vehicles and boats.

 HOOP SERIES
Sensational Finish Sees Liths Win 34.33 Thriller;
 Kelly Fails to Show
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY (SpOrts EditOr)

Though playing like a grammar school team for the entire first per- iod, in which 1t was unable to score more than ,one single, solitary point, though 1t has averaged close to 30 points per game all season. the Knights of Lithuania, without its lace" Johnny Kelly of New Milford and New Jersey got away with the basketball miracle of the season when 1t nipped the West Side Speedboys 34 to 8 last night at the Central YMCA before 700 fans, most of whom had come to see Kelly play.
 The West Sides played well enough to win, but didn't, even after picking up a nine point deficit in the final period and going ahead with but 45 seconds to play, but some loose ball handling in an ex- citing finish allowing Freddie Fer rie of West Haven to snare the ball, dash through and score a much needed field goal. being fouled on the play in the bargain. It was as great a finish as local fans have ever seen. With 33-30 lead made possible when Bill Kalosky dropped a great shot and was fouled by Be- ley on the score, Joyce and Ferrie scored field goals with seconds to 20 that brought the count to 34-33 as the game ended, the Liths also missing a trio of free throws.
 W,suM GAFaAwht
 It was a great game, after the first period and ends the series in two straight games, With Kelly in there, the K. of L. looked like a "cinch" to win. without him 1t was anybody's game, thought the K. of L. packers who gave points to West Side packers lost their money lust the same when Kelly did not show up as he indicated he would not do as far back as last Sunday night after the 44-33 win in which he scored l6 points. Kelly told the K. of L. management, but the man. agement did not tell the public, es- pecially It's own packers who made wagers on the game, on the suppo- sition that Kelly would be on hand, as expected.
 However, the Liths won without Kelly, and there will be no third game, though Manager Johnny Stankus expects to book Q game for St. Josephs court Sunday night Johnny Stoller, West Side captain, was able to score but two field goals, a low count for him, which also worked in the Liths favor while Long John Brady, usually good for Q couple of two-pointers was not able to score at all from the fioor, though he played a bang-up floor game as usual, and added five free throws to the West Side total, which came in mighty handy.
 It was l6-12 at the half and 25-l9 going into the last heat, and then 29-20 with about seven minutes to go, after which the Slders caught up, then passed the Liths, led S3-30 with less than two minutes to play, but were nosed out 34-33 in as wild a finish as any one could imagine, Summary:

 8 to 5
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Hoping that they have another "Cat" Robinson on their hands, the Waterbury A. c. matchmaking de. partment will be all eyes tonight at Buckingham Hall when 1t gets its first peek at Billy Furrone, 22- year old colored welterweight from Scranton, Pa, who is paired with Irish Eddie Dolan of Waterbury In what figures to be a lively eight round battle, what with Dolan's known ability, and F'urrone's record, including loss of split decision to Dolan within the past year.
 Furrone is former Golden, Gloves champion of New York State and has been boxing professionally for two years after two years in the amateurs" so-called during which time he defeated Carl Dell twice.
 Dell will be remembered as the bushy-haired lad who defeated Cat Robinson his last time out at Buckingham Hall His recorded win over Frankie Genovese at the time the latter was Canadian weiter champ is also something in his favor and his two wins over Pete Kolod who has shown in this city once or twice, takes nothing away from weigh-up of his ability, all of which he will need, however to defeat a Dolan that is the scourge of most or the welterwe!ght division and has been boxing l2 years, and, like w.ae gets better with age. :.
 Local price-layers have installed Dolan an 8 to 5 chance to win on his record of win over Furrone at Scranton.
 Action Ahead
 In the prelins, Neil Miller or wilkes Barre, will take on the tough Frankie Young of New Haven, and figures to give the Elm City lad a boxing lesson; Maxie Katz ana Rex Johnson of Pittsfield will do 1t again for six rounds, their last fight here having a fine finish, while Dula Kovach of Naugatuck and Mickey Sarko of Bridgeport are down for a six rounder. Opening the show is Rocky Devens of Town Ploe and Tommy Hunt of New Haven.
 The first bout will get underway. as usual about 8:30 o'clock with Announcer Jack Freney on hand and Timer Johnny Brickel in his accustomed place behind the COW bell.

SETON HALL IS
 STRONG CHOICE |: WIN TOURNEY
Blasted Rhode Island Out of MISC. Meet By 7O-
 54 Count
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS lited Press Staff CnrresnAnhenil


 New York, March 20 -- (U.P0 -- Seton Hall College of South Orange, N. J., after only one performance in the National Invitation basketball tournament at Madison Square Gar den, was solidly entrenched in the favorite's role today with 43 straight victories, longest current winning streak in the country. ,
 The South Orange Pirates routed Rhode Island State, 70-54, last night with the most sensational burst of scoring seen on the Garden boards since St. Johns ran up 7i points against Roanoke in 1889. They vii! meet Long Island University, which defeated Westminster, 48-36, in a semi-final match Saturday night.
 Ohio University and City College of New York. who qualified Monday night, collided in the other semi- final. The survivors meet In the final Monday.
 A one-man basketball tornado Bob Davies -- paced the New Jersey PoWerhouse as 1t brought q record Garden crown of l834l, to It's feet time and again with an offensive display that helped create three new tournament records and run its winning streak for this season to 20.
 Blltzkrieg
 Rhode Island State brought "A point-per -game average and repu. tation for offensive speed Itself but 1t took Seton Hall just five minutes of the first period to all but blast the New Englanders from the court. Seton Hall scored l8 points in that interval while holding their oppo- nents to six markers.
 Davies looked the equal of the great Hank Liusetti He played only approximately 30 minutes of the game but scored l9 points to lead his club to two new tourney stand- ards. The 3i field goals scored by Seton Hall topped by one the rec ord set bX St. Johns against Roa- noke In 1889 and the total points for the game--l24-betteie ed the old mark of ll8 hung up by St. Johns and Roanoke.
 A third record was broken by the 'osers who sank l6 fouls one more than the mark set Tuesday night by Ohio University against Duquesne.
 Fred Conley paced Rhode Island with IS points.
 .. Anti-Climax
 The L. I. U. victory, although a clase battle until fairly late in the second half was little mare than anti-Climax to the opening contest. The victory ran the Blackbirds' rec ord to g out of 25 for the season while the defeat was the second in 9 games for Westminster.
 Sol Schwartz led L. I. U. with l5 points while Lee Fox topped the losers with II.
 Last nights attendance was i6 more than the Garden mark set in December. 1940, and brought the two~night tournament total to 34,- O92.

Brook yn Clowns,
 Thomaston Team In Boys Club Meet

The Bristol St. Stans, defending champions. were eliminated from the Naugatuck Valley Intermediate tournament by the Brooklyn Clowns last night at the club gym by a score of 20 to g. In the other contest the Thomaston House Ball Club won a close decesion from the Hellcats 2S to 24.
 Minus the height and experience that they had on last years cham pionship outfit, the St. Stans' were not even a match for the young Clowns who were definitely the better team on the court last night. Both teams started slowly and divided twelve points evenly at the end of the first period. The Clowns took the offensive in the second quarter and with Yarnell and Tas- anelli, scoring ten points between them they pushed the half time advantage up to l8 to 10. In the final half Rubinowski made bril- lant effort to bring his team along the championship trail but the elongated Clowns were just too good last night and with all players talk ing Q hand In the scoring the Clowns won @ good ball game 20 to 22.
 Close Enough
 With Pierce and Readon playing a high class game during the first l4 minutes of play the Thomaston House quintet ran up a l6 to Il advar tage over the Hellcats that stood them in great advantage as the final torrid session got under way. Lockhart and Carpenter dupli- cated the splendid efforts of their rivals and together scored all l3 ponits in the second half to give the Hellcat supporters something to yell about,
 The early play period told the story however and the Thomaston team eliminated their opponents 20 to 24.
 Tonights card will be limited to q single contest beginning at 8;00 o'clock when the Hobes and the Vikings meet. Movies at the club call for this curtailment in the play ing schedule. Summary:
