Tax Relief for
Se!f-Emp!Oyed
Would Aid Persons
Saving Money for
Privute Pensions
By GENE GOODWIN

George P. Mahoney, Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate,
put himself on record today for
favorable tax treatment for
self-employed persons who put
money aside in a private PEN
sion plan.
Mr. Mahoney's headquarters
released the statement as the
candidates campaigned in Prince
Georges County. In it he is
quoted as saying. II wholeheart-
eddy support legislation similar
to the .Tenkins-Keogh bill"
This bill. which died in the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee of the last Congress. was
aimed at encouraging the self
employed, such as farmers, small
businessmen. doctors and law
yers, to provide for their own
retirement.
Deferred Payment of Tax
1t would allow such persons to
postpone payment of Federal in
come taxes on up to $4,000 a
year which the taxpayer would
set aside in a retirement fund.
AT present. some Is million
employees are covered by pension
plans of 10000 corporations
which are given special consider
alton under our income tax
laws" Mr.. Mahoney's statement
said. There are no comparable
provisions of the law to permit
10 million self-employed persons
to enjoy similar advantages in
setting up voluntary private pen
sion plans"
The great advantage of the
Jenkins-Keogh plan would lay
in favorable tax treatment, COM
parable to that received by cor
porations and their employees
during the period in which self
employed persons normally earn
most heavily and strive to make
more provision for later life, -
the statement added
Taxes Now First
AT present. they cannot do SO
without first paying taxes on
earnings used for that purpose.
THE fact is, of course, that
after making provision for cur
rent living expenses and paying
taxes on all earnings, they have
little remaining to set aside for
old age"
Mr. Mahoney was scheduled
today to speak at a luncheon of
the Southern Maryland United
Democratic Women's Clubs at the
Oakcrest Country Club in nearby
Hillside.
Later this afternoon, he was
booked in at a big free beer and
barbecue rally at Rosecroft
raceway, at which Harold Rus
sell, famous World War II vet
cram and double amputee, also
was scheduled to speak.

New Code Proposed
On D. c. Apartments
Adoption of Rules
To Await Airino
By City Heads

Proposed regulations to govern
operation of Washington apart
ment houses were disclosed today
pending a public hearing by the
District Commissioners.
They call for registration of
the name Of each tenant of
every apartment" in books "open
for inspection by the Chief of
Police on demand" and would
require resident managers in all
apartment houses with five or
more apartments.
No date has been set for a
hearing on the proposed apart
ment house regulations, which
would become Chapter 6 of the
Districts eight-chapter Housing
Regulations.
This action was provided tor
when the overall regulations.
which include the District Hous-
ing Code as Chapter 2, were
adopted and put into effect Sep
TENDER l, 1855.
Director Cabell Gwathmey of
the Department of Licenses and
Inspections said drafting of the
apartment house regulations
had been under way about three
months. The present version, he
added. has been approved both
by his department and by the
Health Department.
10000 Buildings Affected
He estimated the proposed
regulations would affect some
10000 apartment houses in the
District, and that most oppose
ton would be stirred by the re-
quirement for resident managers
in all houses with more than
five apartments.
A survey of 7,943 apartment
houses, Mr.. Gwathmey said. in
, dicates that more than as per
cent would be affected by the
resident manager provision. He
. does not know, he added, how
many of these now have resi-
,Ident managers and said there
'Imay be pressure to set the fig
ure at six or seven apartments
instead of five.
However, he declared, "gen-
orally, those with more than five
are getting into the class where
they have to have a resident
manager to get by, anyway"
Statistics on Units
Mr.. Gwathmey said 1895 per
cent of the apartment houses
surveyed have three units: 1916
per cent have four; 4 per cent
have five, and 4212 per cent have
more than five apartments.
Buildings with less than three
! units are not classed as apart
lment houses.
Specifically incorporated il

Il Danish inspiration for modern
American stylings has great
appeal these days, not only be-
cause Of its clean, sleek. decora-
tive look, but also because 1t
has adaptability and small
scale practically.
II OF particular Importance are
1.-THE new architectural units that
can be changed and re-adapted
whenever necessary. or when one
wants a new look" without go
ing to the expense Of buying adj
ditional furnishings for a room.
Not only do these individual
units serve many purposes, but
allow the homemaker to buy
some pieces and add others later
as need, space and funds present
themselves.
Elegant in its simplicity is one
modern dining room we have
Seen. Natural walnut, highlighted
by louver-facade drawers and
simple brass trim, blend with al
most any decor. A versatile
three-drawer bench, holding two
of the cabinet pieces, has maxi
mum storage space and. II
needed, can serve as a coffee ia
BILE. The chairs are light and
comfortable and the table can
be extended to accommodate
guests.
The mellow finish Of the fur
niture inspired the earth tone
used in the color scheme of the
room. The walls are painted a
soft shade of yellow and the tile
floor covering is of terra Gotta
blocks outlined in beige. The
fruit and leaf motif of the dra-
peries in tones Of orange, brown,
yellow and green on a pale green
background, is repeated in the
modern painting hung above a
low chest. The chair seat covers

tive accessories in chartreuse,

braided rug would add bright

Questionable fixtures in the
bathroom Of our new home are
gray, the wall tile is pink with
a black border and the floor tile
has pink-and- black squares.
What colors would be best for

Answer - For the wallpaper

in pink, black and silver on a
turquoise background; for the
shower curtain, black and silver
stripe; for the window curtains,
pink.
Question = We have Just

style of furniture? The room
is not very bright.
Answer - Yellow walls would
make a nice background for the
warm brown finish of the furni-
ture in your bedroom. Since
they are simple. ruffled curtains
would fit into the scheme of the
room or - for a more colorful
effect-why not get cafe cur

MODERN MARRIAGE
Tdctful Ways to
Tidy Up Husband

husband becomes stubborn
Just to spite you. Some wives
do keep after their husbands
that way. "A man may make
a mistake without knowing it
but not if he's married."
If you have really never
spoken of this matter to him,
tackle him sometime when
you're friendly, with Honey,
tell me what / do that annoys
you most. and I'll try hard to
stop. Then I'll tell you some
thing you could do for me-"
If. on the other hand, you
have hammered him for years,
you'll learn to take an indi-
rect approach. That is slow;
it takes patience and self
control.
If he should ever do the
right thing. praise him-but
not too obviously! Praise the
neatness of others. Mention
that other people. whom he
admires, praise someone else
for his neatneSs.
Remark. "I'll fix you up for
Mrs. Smith to admire--she
thinks you're so attractive"
Or perhaps, in some cases,
all you need to do is quietly
to take the spots of his neck
tie when he isn't wearing it:
or send his suit out to be
cleaned.
