Red China Regulates
Private Enterprise
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 49,
Red China, which permits private
enterprise, has worked out a set
of regulations for it.
The Peiping radio broadcast a
description of these new rules
yesterday, describing them as de-
signed "to encourage the develop
ment of private enterprise bene-
fetal to national economy and
peoples livelihood"
Heard in San Francisco by the
Associated Press, the broadcast
said private business concerns
should set aside upwards of 10
per cent of their profits as a re-
serve fund ito consolidate the en-
terprise."
Dividends cannot exceed per
cent, which the account said Is
higher than prewar rates. mot
less than so per cent of the resi-
due should go to the shareholders,
directors and managers, as a
bonus," the radio said.
Enterprises which at times can
not make profits owing to work on
urgent State needs or because OF
important technical improvement
or inventions, may be freed from
taxes or pay lower taxes, the reg
ulations provide.

ID. C.. Income Tax Law Gives
Working Couples Advantage

A quirk in the Districts re-
vised income tax law gives the
man with a working wife a dis
tinct financial edge over his fel-
low whose wife stays home anc
keeps house.
Effective with 1850 income, or
which returns are due April Is
the basic exemption for every one
goes up from the old $1,000 te
$4,000.
But the law says that if the
combined gross income of a hus.
band and wife living together ex-
ceeded $4,000 and each had ar
income in excess of $500, each
must file a return.
Thus, If the husband and wife
earned a total of 81, 100, each max.
ing more than $500, both woulc
be required to file returns. But
each would get basic exemption
of $4,000.
The man whose wife earned nc
salary would receive the $4,000
exemption on his salary, plus $500
for his wife eand each child.
This means that a couple earn
ing, for instance, a total of $4,000
Evening star., 1951-01-18

together would pay no taxes. But
a man providing the whole family
income himself who made $4,000
would be liable for tax on $4,000
minus $500 exemption for his wife
and each child, and $500 stand
ard deduction.
The tax rate on 1850 income
goes up from l per cent under the
old standard to 112 per cent or
the first $4,000 taxable.
| For the married couple filing
separate returns, each gets q
basic $4,000 deduction. a $500 ex.
emption for each dependent he
claims, and a $500 standard de-
duction. One might claim all the
children. or they might each take
one or two.
This phase of the revised Law
apparently was overshadowed by
the 2 per cent sales tax which was
provided by Congress in the same
legislation.

York's Legislature moved today te
reduce "butchery" and death ir

floored fighter to take an eight

A bill providing a mandatory

from Democrats.
Before Senate passage las
night Democratic Leader Elmer F

is being run by the State Ath.

He charged that boxing, under
present conditions" was 'legalizet
murder" and "butchery."
But the Republican majority
leader. Senator Arthur H. Wicks
Icountered that boxing in this
State is not so bad as it has beer
pictured.
Wicks said the eight-count bill
"aims to do what the minority

Increase in Maryland
Race Income Opposed
BY the Associofsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 49,
Strong opposition from racing in
terests is expected following the
proposal to increase Maryland S
revenue by taking all "breakage''
and the percentage of wagering
that now goes into the mile
tracks improvement fund.
"An awful mistake" was the
immediate reaction from one
member of the State Racing
Commission. Wilbur r. Dulin,
after the bill containing those
proposals was introduced in the
State Legislature by two Balti-
more delegates last night. It is
estimated that the measure. if
passed. would increase Maryland
tax revenue by about $1.215.000.
at would be like cutting off
your nose to spite your face"
Dulin said. He pointed out that
the commission even had dis
cussed giving all the breakage to
the tracks instead of splitting it
with the State as is now done
with the mile tracks. Harness
tracks keep all the breakage.
Mile tracks also keep one-half
of l per cent of betting pools for
their improvement funds. In
Guiding that improvement fund
tracks get 6 per cent of pools and
the State 4 per cent.

his assistant, George CARRIER,
watched Maryland subdue South
Carolina last night with a smart
defensive exhibition that looked
even better because Of the slug
gish play of the visitors.
The Terps' double-teamed Jim
Slaughter. the Nations fourth
leading scorer, and held him to
IA points. II under his, average.
George MANS was assigned to the
Gamecocks' No. scorer. 14-point
average Dwane Morrison. and
Morrison made only three points
before he fouled out.
Jim johnson, at GO, was more
effective off the boards than
Slaughter. who is listed at 6-feet-9
in some South Carolina public fig-
ures and 6-feet-11 in others.
Slaughter became bit peeved be-
fore it was over and with seven
minutes to go he was given a
rest.
Terps Hustle This Time.
Coach Bud Millikan of Mary
land said the biggest reason for
the tremendous point difference in
the two games was hustle. 1--WE
were behind. $50. down there and
loafed a little bit after that" Bud
said, "but I made sure there
wouldn't be any loaf1ng this time. !"
Last night it took South Carolina
10 minutes to make a field goal
and the Gamecocks didn't have
much enthusiasm after that.
Maryland was comfortably ahead
all the way and with the victory
improved it's tournament chances.
La Sale not only has Jack
George to send against George
town tonight. but Coach Ken
Leoffer has a good all-around
team that still is hoping for a
postseason> bid. The Explorers
beat George Washington by %
points Saturday night in Philadel-

date here, CIV has a 20 record

lima tonight, while Georgetown
hardly seems a match for La Sale.

|Hyottsvi|Ie's Tree Adams Shows
'Cuqe Practice Makes Perfect

The old adage that practice
makes perfect is paying off for
Hyattsville's basketball team this
year.
Wayne Tree Adams, Hyatts-
vile center. has developed into
one of the outstanding cagers in
the Prince Georges County A
League as a result of his 6-foot-3
height and natural ability. but
mainly because of the year-long
practice that he puts into the
game.
HE not only practices with the
team" says his coach. Bill Yarnall,
"but he plays ball on Saturdays
and Sundays during the school
year, and then plays all summer
on outdoor courts
The results of this constant in
terest in basketball are shown In
the 18-point scoring average
Adams has maintained this sea-
son. His largest total came two
weeks ago against Mount Rainier
when "Tree" paced his team to a
61-52 win with Al points.
He tossed in 80 yesterday as
Hyattsville lost. 70-55, at Roose-
welt.
The only basketball player in
the county league who can rival
Adams is Bob Hampton. high
scoring center for Maryland Park.
In both games in which they have
met Maryland Park has come out
on top, but Adams outscored his
county opponent each time.
Hyattsville. which won the
league title for the last two years,
