passed by the House.
The House measure would limit
overall tax collection from one
concern to 81 per cent of its total
taxable earnings. Chairman
George, Democrat, of Georgia
of the. Senate Finance Committee
wants that figure cut to so per
cent.
President Truman has requested
a bill to draw 81 billion from the
profits of business and industry.
S3.4 Billion Expected.
The House bill, adopted last
week, is expected to bring tn $3.4
billion the first year, perhaps more
later.
Senator George gave no esti-
mate in dollars of just what fur

his proposals.
He told reporters at the conclu-

The House bill proposes u rs per

more than 81 per cent Of any

The bill defines normal taxes as

earnings for the three best years
from 1946 through 1949. Anything
below that would be subject to

|Kefauver Announces
December 1S0pening
For Chicago Hearings
BY the Assoeiaied Press

Public hearings in Chicago start
ing December 18 were scheduled
yesterday by the Senate Crime In
vestigating Committee.
The committee held five days
of closed hearings there in Octo-
ber as part of an undercover probe
it has been making for months
into the activities OF Chicago's
Capone gang.
Rudolph HALEY, the committee s
chief counsel, has described Chi
cago as the apparent nerve CEN
ter of Nation wide organized crime
syndicates."
Chairman Kefauver said in a
statement announcing the Chicago
hearings that they have been
scheduled to continue through De-
cember 81.
May Have Night Sessions.
Because of the large number of
witnesses under subpoena to testi-
fy. including many of the A pre-
viously questioned behind closed
doors, the Tennessee Democrat
said several night sessions may be
necessary.
The committee, however, has
been unable to locate several
witnesses 1t would like to ques-
ton In connection with its Chi
cago investigation.
Among the missing witnesses
for whom the committee this
week asked the Senate to issue
arrest warrants are Anthony
TONY" Accardo. Rocco and
Charlie Fischetti, and Murray l.
Humphreys-all of Chicago.
Senator Kefauver said that Ac-
cardo has the reputation of "hav-
ing succeeded to the mantle" OF
the late AL Capone. The Fis-
chetti brothers also are reputed
to be top figures in the Capone
mob.
Humphreys was described by
Senator Kefauver as q racketeeI

portedly associated with Accardo

A lot of city men, the helpful salesman was
telling Helen, are surprised to find how enthu-
siastic they grow about camping 1t was
noon by then, and Helen was still confident
she would find just the right bait somewhere
They were inspecting whole campsite, a
little piece of the North Woods where two
millionaire campers apparently had just
leaped from their down-flled bedrolls in favor
of good nights sleep in town. There was
even one piece of equipment Barney had
mentioned with interest. His boss Barney
said, had moments of blankness which could
only be attributed to the fact that someone
somewhere, must be blowing moose-call
But the more Helen searched, the more the
perfect device eluded her. Floating before
her eyes was the vision of an unhappy Barney
on Christmas morning - brave and smil-
ing and forgiving Barney, but an unhappy
husband just the same.
She looked through the flap of silken tent
and found it framed boy of about fourteen.
He was working the controls of small out
board motor, very gently. You knew he had
visited the motor six times, you knew the
ticket said in his imagination, Merry Christ

catch in it, you would have enjoyed seeing
those harmonious Trohanes, Helen and Bar
ney, this frosty December evening Not even
the fact that when Barney stepped off the
overheated suburban train there was no Helen
Trohane waiting in the green Trofane sedan
was going to lower Barney's affectionate re-
gard for his wife this evening.
He passed around the corner of the Edge
mere station, peering hopefully to right and
left at confusion which resembled nothing so
much as an animated used-car lot. He recog-
nized the peculiar bleat of automobile horns
sounded by Edgemere wives which means,
Here / am, stupid. over here" He noted
wistfully the gay, laughing greeting of hus-
bands.
Down the platform. seven of the beefiest
Edgemerians were jamming into the last taxi,
the lazy louts Noisily the parade of cars left
the station enclosure, and nobody leaned
from the CHEEKY window of blue. gray or
tan sedan to offer Barney lift.
He set out to walk noting. as he did, that
two smart operators were climbing into old
beat-up cars they had left at the station all
day. There, Barney felt, was the real solution
to suburban life. An old klunk of your own,
so that if you miss train your wife isn't
sitting out in the cold when she ought to be
at home stirring up pair of martins for a
tired husband.
- hot
the vows of suburban wife are to love, honor
and meet that 6:O7. Never for moment did
Barney doubt it. so that even though she had
failed him. he was disposed to be gracious. He
felt he ought to. tonight, in view of the under
handed scheme he had just cooked up.
He walked with certain grim determina
ton through the business district which the
Edgemere Chamber of Commerce had hung
with gay colored lights. the gayer ones work

zling with gift suggestions - this cleaning

for Dad Tomorrow, which was a Saturday,
Barney would be down here himself. dealing
with that problem for which he had at last
found a solution.
For seven years of a seven-year married
life, Barney had been trying to convince
Helen that she ought to eat more breakfast,
because breakfast is good for people, and,
without breakfast, why you haven't had
breakfast Helen bloomed like a rose on half
slice of toast and six teaspoonfuls of tomato
juice and she listened to Barney's finest argu-
ments, as wives will, but she didn't do any
thing about it. as wives won't.
Now an idea had come to Barney only
couple of station stops before his own. He got
it when a gent in the aisle, moving to the
door, said to companion, and got the
darned thing for Christmas last year. so of
course had to smile and use it."

Housewares Department. Sixth Floor. At the
moment ofcontact, Barney had been examining
small dish with approval There were cartoon
characters which became visible only when
the user ate up all his nice strained carrots.
''Is your baby girl or boy?" the sales
woman beamed.
"A wife," Barney said, and then he told
her ALL
The saleswoman put her hand on the fortu-
nately artificial fire glowing in 1895 bar
becue wagon and nodded her approval. She
said she thought it was wonderful when
husband cared how much breakfast his wife
ate and was trying to trick her into eating
more.
1t meant he took, you might say, kind of
interest in her.
''lHIs is NICE" she said. Barney opened a
chromium box and found himself playing
Peeping Tom to an imitation sirloin.
"An infra-red broiler, his helper explained.
But don't suppose you expect your wife to
eat roasts for breakfast, do you? Toasters?
Waffle irons? Trays for breakfast in bed?
Bacon crispers? A set of nice breakfast dishes,
too good not to use?"
Dreamily they wandered together through
the forest of practically irresistible gadgets
designed to make wives like Helen Trohane
increase their caloric intake. Wistfully, Bar
ney fingered them all, trying to imagine Helen
opening the well-disguised Trojan Horse and
doing her best to say, 'Oh, Barney, it's just
what wanted. How could you have known?"
His attention was distracted by young
wife gazing at a mighty saucer of some light
wood which was evidently salad bowl. To
Barney it looked like the hub cap from some
large but primitive machine, and he WINGED
as he saw the undoubtedly attractive matron
regarding it with look just short of idolatry.
Then he heard her saying to the clerk
