Bankers Propose
Wage Boost Levy

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. UP)-
The investment bankers ETAOINU
The Investment Bankers associa-
ton of America proposed today that
the senate finance committee boost
the yield of the pending $3326, ,7OO,-
900 tax bill by placing a special 10
per cent excess profits" tax on in
dividual salary or wage increases.
Harcourt Amory of Boston, chair
man of the associations committee
on federal taxation, presented the
proposal to the committee. He also
suggested purchase" taxes of 5 and
10 per cent on certain semi-luxury
and luxury items, many of which
already would be taxed at those
amounts in the pending bill.
Discussing his proposal for a tax
on salary increases, Amory said:
Such a tax, placed at 10 per
cent of the annual net income in
crease, would be a substantial reve-
nue. producer and would make those
individuals fortunate enought to
benefit directly or indirectly from
the defense program contribute a
small share of the benefits received
to the government

RYE, N. Y, Aug. IL. CUP)-If
you pay any heed to that old bro
mide about coming events casting
their shadows in advance, jot down
the names of Frank Kovacs and
Pauline Betz as the players to fol-
low when the National tennis cham
pionships open at Forest Hills.
The two tall, tanned Californians
may not qualify as heavy favorites
for Americas big show, but they
proved yesterday that they have
at least as good a chance as any
body else around. They made it

Some 700 sun-baked citizens at

vacs, gangling young giant from
Oakland, win the mems title with
an ease that furrowed the brows of
those experts who had lightly dis
missed him as just clown. Maybe
it's the responsibilities of married
life-anyway the clown has gone
serious with a bang-bang.
With more ease than it takes to
tell it, Kovacs wiped out Wayne
Sabin of Reno, New, 7-5, Ga, 6-2.
The victory was the first of impor-
tance that he has scored on grass,
and it all but eclipsed the 2-6, 8-6,
