WANTS TAX BILL
 TO BE LAST ONE
Chairman George However Believes Compulsory
 Savings Needed
By JAMES R. SHEPLEY [ | I

NOIALCu kOoS Sks@h OUAA ANoPVAANSSAAv
 Washington, July 14.-UP)- Chairman Walter F. George, D., Go, of the Senate finance committee, expressing belief that compulsory savings would be needed next year to finance the war, urged today that the tax pro- gram adopted this year stand for the duration.
 Except for changes in rates dic- tated by emergencies, he said, "this ought to be the last tax bill we write during this war. We should fix a general tax structure and let it stand"
 He noted that there already is some talk of a new tax bill after the first of the year, but said he believed it would be better for the general economy of the country" to let business know that it can count on operating under the general tax structure about to be set up.
 Preparing for Senate hearings on the new tax bill which he said would start almost immediately after the Senate receives it from the house, George said he believed his committee would give careful consideration to his proposal that all taxpayers = individual as wei as corporate-be permitted a credit on their taxes for investment in war bonds, up to a fixed percentage
 "The bond sales program demands that this be done" George said. Tt is an inducement to invest in bonds and I think that is needed. I am willing to go along with Secretary Morgenthau on his voluntary bond sales program, but think we will have to come to a compulsory pro- gram next year"
 Wants Reductions
 George said his idea was to per- init deduction of 10 or possibly 20 per cent of income as credit against taxes, provided the money is invested in war bonds, to bear no interest until after the war and then to be redeemed by the treasury in four or five equal annual install ments. At that time, under his proposals, the bonds would be sub ject to a capital gains tax, of Is or 16 per cent.
 One argument for the plan, George pointed out, is that 1t will give wide distribution to govern ment bonds and avoid their con- centration in a relatively small group a situation which he said might lead to political clamor for repudiation.
 George expressed his views as Chairman Adolph J. Sabath, D., III. of the house rules committee said he believed house consideration of the pending $6,250 100000 revenue bill should permit amendments tc increase the amount, despite last minute ways and means committee changes which added more than $1,- GOO, GOO 900 to the bill.
 Sabath said he might ask Secre- tary of Treasury Henry Morgen- thau, Jr. to appear when his com mittee prepares rule for house pro- cedure on the bill.

advent of their 5Oth wedding anni- versary with twice the assurance of the bridal pairs of the late EOS. It is pointed out, for example, that for the gir lof 21, who marries a man five years older, the chances are one in five that the two will survive together for the next half century. Fifty years ago the chanc- es would have been only one in ten.
 For the bride of 25, with a hus- band of 30, the chances today for their living throughout the next 50 years are one in ten as against one in 20 half a century ago. The chances of a golden wedding cele- bration decrease rapidly with in- crease in the ages at marriage.
 For bride 26 years or younger, marrying a man five years her se- hior, the chances of celebrating her 18th anniversary, or silver wedding, are three in four; if the groom is the same age, the chances are four in five. In the past 50 years the chances of couple surviving to en- joy their silver wedding have in- creased about one-half.
 As for celebrating their tenth wed- ding anniversary, the statisticians explain that the chances are more than nine in ten fo rbrides up to age 38 with grooms of the same age, and for brides up to 34 if the groom five years older.
 In general, the chances of tenth wedding anniversary, according to present health conditions, are about one-sixth greater than they were 50 years ago.
 "In many respects the American people are singularly fortunate with regard to their marital status" the statisticians say. Their marriage rate is among the highest in the world and they tend to marry younger than in most countries of the Western world. They are also favored with such good health con- ditions that aside from separation or divorce they are almost certain to celebrate their tenth wedding anni- versary, they have very fair chance for a twenty-fifth anniver- sary and a chance far from rleglig- ible to live to their fiftieth anniver- Sary."
