The Detroit Times wanted TO
know how many boys Is, Is and

For Ross M. Robertson, 27-year-
old commercial agent of the De-

compute such figures.
NO HAPHAZARD GUESS
There will be 60,745 in the
Detroit metropolitan area" Rob-
ertson replied after some fancy
figuring with a red pencil on
the back of an envelope.
More calculations followed with
the red pencil on the other side of
the envelope and he came up with
additional figures. He denied that
the color of the pencil had any
thing to do with it.

Would Exclude Domestics
Py the Associated Press,

Ry the Associated Press.

thau, said today that domestics
farm labor and other groups exempt
from the social security tax would be
excluded from pay-as-you-go plan
of individual income tax collections
approved by the House Ways and
Means Committee.

up consideration of its S6,640 900 900

rejected both this suggestion and
another to place a 2-cent tax on
bank checks.
