House Group Votes
To Reduce Taxes Of
Working Mothers
$500 Exemption Allowed
For Expense Of Corine
For Small Children
By Robert K. Welsh

The House Ways and Means
Committee voted today to allow
working mothers an income tax
deduction up to 5000 a year for
expenses of caring for small
children in their home.
Chairman Reed described this
tax revision proposal as "a sig

nificant step in providing proper
care for our American children
and in combating juvenile de-
Gnquency."
Delinquency Cited.
Noting that the juvenile de-
linquency problem sis causing
great anxiety" the New York
Republican said:
THE tax laws in the past have
failed to give any encourage
ment to the maintenance of an
adequate home environment"
Mr.. Reed disclosed that the
amendment approved by the
committee in its current writing
of a comprehensive tax revision
bill would originally have limit
ed such a deduction to only $500
for care of children up to the
age of 6
The provision as approved
unanimously by the committee
would allow a deduction of 5000
for actual expenses incurred for
the care of one or more children
up to the age Of 10. It also
could be taken in the case of
children between the ages of 10
and 16 if they were so physically
handicapped as to be unable to
attend a regular school.
Persons Affected Listed.
Mr.. Reed explained that the
deduction could be taken only
by widows, widowers, legally sep
arated or divorced persons or
mothers whose husbands are
mentally or physically defective
In such cases it could be claimed
only by a person who is obliged
to work and at the same time to
pay some one else to care for
children in the home. Such care
would be restricted to son,
daughter. stepchild or adopted
child of the taxpayer and would
apply whether the taxpayer has
one or several children.
A working mother, however,
could not take the deduction
If she paid a close relative for
the care of the children and at
the same time claimed that rela-
tive as a dependent
The proposal adopted by the
committee has been urged on
numerous occasions by many
individual members of Congress

Acquitted Of Tax.
Evasion Charges
Directed Verdict Leaves
Fifth Defendant Still
Facing Federal Trial

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. 25.-
Sidney S. Kellam, w. Russell
Hatchett, William F. Hudgins
and Herbert A. Holt, jr., were
acquitted today of charges of
income tax evasion and con-
spiracy to defraud the United
States Government.
Their acquittal came on a
directed verdict by District Court
Judge Albert v. Bryan, acting
on a defense motion filed Friday
at the conclusion of four days
of Government testimony.
In his memorandum on the
motion for acquittal, Judge
Bryan ruled that the trial of the
fifth defendant. Frank L. Ores
ham, will continue. but solely
on the automobile sales reports"
reported in the income tax re-
turns filed by the Beach Taxi
Service. Inc, for the year 1947.
Mr.. Gresham was president
and a stakeholder of the taxicab
company The other four de-
PENDANTS also were STOCKHOLDERS
Evidence insufficient.
Judge Bryan held the evidence
against the other four defend
ants was not sufficient to support
the indictments.
Mr.. Kellam. for 18 years treas
urer of Princess Anne County,
managed former Gov John S.
Battles campaign and was ap-
appointed chairman of the State
Conservation Commission. He
resigned that post to handle the
campaign of Gov. Thomas 3
Stanley. He resigned as Mr..
Stanley's campaign manager "a
hours after his indictment in o.
tober on the income tax charges.
Mr.. Hudgins is former clerk
OF the Princess Anne County Cir
cult Court. Mr.. Hatchett is
former commissioner of revenue
OF Princess Anne County, and
Mr.. Holt is a former Virginia
Beach town councilman. Mr..
Gresham was a chauffeur in the
Norfolk Naval Shipyard before
he and the other four men or
ganized the cab company at Vir-
ginia Beach in 1943.
Auto Sales Involved.
The automobile sales reports
mentioned in Judge Bryan's
memorandum constituted 1.-The
overt act" charged by the Gov
eminent in its conspiracy in
dictment against the five men.
Treasury Agent William D.
Owens, one of II Government
witnesses who took the stand dur
ing the trial. testified that Mr..
Gresham told him he under
stated money received by the
cab company and applied part of
the proceeds of each sale to re-
tirement OF a fictitious debt of
$4,000 charged against him on
the company's books.
Mr.. Gresham told Mr.. Owens.
the agent testified. that he had
not borrowed the $4,000 from the
firm and that it actually repre-
sented a disbursement of profits
to the stockholders in 1916.
Mr.. Bryan ruled in his memo
randum that under the conspi-
racy indictment the issue for the
jury to decide is whether the
evidence proves that Mr.. Ores
ham conspired with Meyer Lou
Goldman, al accountant who
prepared the firms tax returns,
to file false and fraudulent re-
turn with respect to the auto
sales lin order to defeat or evade
such taxes"

Minority Problems Included.
Plans to meet the problems of
minority groups and expanded
and improved mortgaging pro-
cedure also were included in the
presidential blueprint.
The President stressed anew
that the Federal Government &C
tivitieS are not to be pursued to
the detriment of private indus

I'VE believe that needed prog
reSS can best be made by full
and effective utilization of our
competitive economy with it's
vast resources for building and

he said.
His program was based on

President set up under the di-
rection Of Housing AdminiStra-
tor Albert M. Cole to survey the

AS a necessary prerequisite
toward improved housing condi-
tions. the President said that
slums and blighted housing areas
must be cleaned up. The 14O,-
600-unit development the Presi-
dent proposes would be primarily
for those families who must be
relocated because of slum clear
ance, neighborhood rehabilita-

He said that this program
would be reviewed before the end
of the four-year period when it
is possible to determine the sue
cess of the other proposals he
has made.
His other major attack on
serious" housing deficiencies,
the President said, also will in
crease the opportunities of many
families with low incomes to get
better housing, either new or old.
Will Increase FILA Aid.
The President did not go into
details on this proposal for long

to permit the Federal Housing
Administration to do more in the
way of insuring loans for private
builders and lenders.

will insure 95 per cent of a ST.

home owner must make a down

maximum insured loan is sic, 900.

'Corporaies Higher,
Rail Bonds in Lead;
Governments Gain
BY Arthur Merims
Associated Press Finencial Wrisss

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The
corporate bond market worked q
trifie higher this week under the
leadership Of railroads and some
investment quality corporates.
Government bonds also i'm
proved. The 30-year 314s jumped
" at 111A bid as pension
funds increased their de-
mand for the Treasury's long
est maturity. Victory loan 212s
OF l967-72 rose 1s at 100 bid
as did the 212s Of 1861 at 1914
bid.
Foreign liens were active but
irregular. German dollar bonds
advanced sharply after the nine
power agreement in London to
rearm the former enemy nation.
Greek liens lost several points
when the Paris conference to
settle that country's foreign
debts ended in failure. Defaulted
East European obligations
changed hands at generally
higher. prices. japanese bonds
fluctuated narrowly.
Trading in the corporate list
was slow throughout the week
and many key utilities and in
dustrials backed and filled.
Among the railroads most sought
were Louisville 81 Nashville, New
Haven, 500 Line, Florida East
Coast and Missouri Pacific.
The Federal Reserve eased the
money market by purchasing
$685. million Of Government secu-
rites In the open market. It was
the largest weekly purchase of
the year and was designed to
help commercial banks under
write the Treasury's 81 billion
cash offering Of short-term notes.
The commercial banking busi-
ness had other good news this
week. Not only did third quarter
profits run ahead Of 1853 figures
In most cases, but business loans
increased.
