Walter George of Georgia and the

There was another bitter blow
up over the proposed withholding
tax on stock dividends. This was
aimed to capture an estimated 100
to ITO million dollars which Uncle
Sam loses each year because stock
holders fail to report dividends in
lncome-tax returns.
Again the senator's held back,
though house conferees Bob Dough-
ton of North Carolina, Jere Cooper
of Tennessee, Wilbur Mills of
Arkansas and Dingell strongly sup
ported the Withholding tax on divi-
dends. George, who consistently
battled for the top-bracket taxpay-
ers in every other phase of the
bill, made the amazing argument
that the dividend clause would dis
criminate against 'poor widows"
1.-The government doesn't Withhold
taxes on wages under $500 year."
sermonized the Georgian. "Why
tax the dividends of widows and
people of moderate circumstances,
which in many cases amount to
less than $500 year,"
THAT argument doesn't hold
WATER hit back Dingell. 1.-THE OBJ
Ject of this amendment is not to
hurt women of small incomes, but
to compel the reporting in income
returns of about a billion dollars a
year in dividends that escape tax
alton. Failure to report these divi-
dendS is violation of the law.
Furthermore, despite what you
say, working people with wages
under $500 a year sometimes are
taxed. A Detroit auto worker may
work only one week in year, but
a portion of that weeks wages is
nonetheless withheld by the gov
eminent"
COP Rep. Dan Reed of Dunkirk.

however, and the big bracket tax

Statehood Bill Blocked In Senate By Opponents
(By G. MILTON KELLY)

WASHINGTON, (P)-Statehood for Alaska and Hawaii during the present Congress appeared virtu- ally lost cause today.
 Senate Democratic leader Lucas D.-IllO, of Illinois, said he held no hope coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats would remove the roadblock they set up to stall the measures. He de- nounced their tactics as a filibust- CT.
 President Truman had urged Statehood for both Territories as reply to Russian propaganda in the Orient that the U. s. has CO., lonial ambitions. The President said. too, they deserve statehood. Opponents, on the other hand, ar que the two Territories are not ready for statehood and that ad- mitting them to the Union would not check Soviet propaganda.
