Small Business
Sees Tax Relief
By the Associated Press

To Judge by the campaign
pledges. small business stands a
good chance of getting special
tax relief next year whichever
party wins control Of Congress.
Democrats wrote such plank
into their platform in July. The
Republican national convention
did not follow suit. but President
Eisenhower has promised to give
prompt and favorable considera-
ton" to four small business tax
concessions in drafting his legis-
lative program.
The administration added a
clincher this month when PreSi-
Dental Assistant Sherman Adams
said in a speech that I'VE shall
definitely ask Congress to con-
slider relief" if the budget per-
mits. This. Of course. assumes
Mr.. Eisenhower's reelection.
The Adams ''if" was signifi-
cant. Budget considerations will
be crucial in any tax-cutting de-
liberations, officials concede, and
the proposals now before Mr.,
Eisenhower would cost the treas
ury about $500 million a year in
revenue.
The proposals are part Of a IA
point program drafted in August
by the cabinet committee on
small business, headed by DR.
Arthur F. Burns. chairman of
the Presidents Council of Econo-
mic Advisers.
DR.. Burns is known to regard
tax reduction as the most i'm
portant quick-acting remedy for
the complaints of small firms
Others of the IA points call for
tighter anti-monopoly rules, more
Government contracts for small
firms. and some further financing
and technical aids

HOW YOUR DOLLARS HELP
Family Service Agency
Saved This MARRIAGE

After seven years Of marriage,
Mrs. Smith couldn't fight 1t any
longer,
Her husband was cold to her,
unkind to their children. The
marriage was going on the rocks
and he was to blame.
She went to the Family Service
of Northern Virginia and told a
caseworker, MY husband is a
good man, he brings home his
pay, he doesn't drink too much
or play around. But he doesn't
seem to love me anymore and
he's too hard on the children"
Talked to Husband
The caseworker talked to Mr..
Smith, who said he was confused,
that he didn't know what his
wife wanted. He said he was the
same man he had always been,
but his wife had changed.
The couple went back for
counseling every week for IL
months.
The caseworker discovered that
Mrs. Smiths resentment when
her husband disciplined their
older daughter went back to
Mrs. Smiths own girlhood. She
had felt her own parents treated
her badly and that she wasn't
loved. Now she saw herself in
her little girl.
That revelation was the key to

Prior Data on Retarded
Sought by Mrs. Spencer

A search for the evidence of
retardation in both white and
colored schools before integra-
ton was requested yesterday by
Mrs. Ruth Spencer, new colored
member of the Board of Educa-
ton.
With an eye on the current
investigation of the school sys-
tenn by a House subcommittee.
Mrs. Spencer said she was max
ing the request because:

2. Valid conclusions cannot
be drawn unless full details are
made available in terms of in
dividual schools and the school
situation prior to indignation"
Request Granted
Mrs. Spencer, whose request
was granted, asked specifically
for a comparison by number Of
the special educational classes
such as atypical classes-in the
former white and colored school
divisions.
She also requested the per-
centage of enrolment in these
special classes in each division
inxrelation to the total enroll
ment of each division in the
years 1851 through 1854.

ian, to be divided equally among
six children.
Two Of the children witnessed
the will and testified at probate
proceedings.
Under a District Court ruling,
citing the District statute on
witnesses, they were barred from
their share.
But today the Appellate Court
reversed the District Court. 1t
pointed out that the witnesses
would have no reason to perjure
themselves in favor of the Wills
validity because, due to charit-
able requests, they would have
received a greater share by in
testacy than under the will.
q. Whether we approach
this case as one requiring con-
Struction of a statute or as one
calling for application of COM
mon law principles, we think
the result should be the same

justice :" the opinion stated.
The opinion was written by
Judge George T. Washington
and was concurred in by Chief
Judge Henry w. Edgerton and
Judge David L. Bazelon. Attor-
Iney Charles o. Pratt represented

nally had been denied their

white schools, as well as the

national norm and that there is
a great amount of retardation.

tinuous retardation," she said,

reference since indignation to
retardation in educational per-

How many schools and the
relationship of the figure to total
number of schools in former
Division I as well as II were be-
low the median, and what was
their range Of getardation for
all city-wide standardized tests
given for those same three
years?"
Commenting on newspaper re-
ports that said some school en-
ployes had kept confidential
racial records, Mrs. Spencer re-
quested DR.. Corning to remind
all pertinent employees immedi-
ately that the Board of Educa-
ton policy forbids the keeping
of records on achievement by
races.

Husband and wife gradually
saw themselves to be living side
by side, each wanting to be loved
but neither making the first
move.
Little by little, they came to
realize that who made the first
move wasn't important.
Really a Nice Guy"
Three months after their last
visit to Family Service, the wife
returned. She told the case
worker:
If you think your husband Is

you'll find he's really a nice,

The Smith family--as we call
them-is one of 400 served by

There is less chance that well

undeserving cases with profess
sional investigators studying the
circumstances.
Higher Grants Suggested
1t was suggested by Mrs
Bazelon that the money being
saved by the investigators could
be used to raise relief grants
which at present are running
only about Is per cent of what
the department considers the
minimum need based on the 1855
cost of living.
During the period from April
through June, relief payments
were terminated in so cases, 80
of them because a husband OF
paramour was found to be living
in the home of the relief re-
cipient.
During the study period, the
investigators located 166 of the
1873 persons they were asked tc
find by social workers. OF these
81 were husbands, 2 were moth
ers and 103 were paramours.
Homes Found for ss

Court Modifies
D. c. Statute in Will Cases

The United States Court OF
Appeals today modified a Dis
trict statute which bars wit
neSses to a will from inheriting
part of the estate.
The opinion. unprecedented
here, held that such witnesses,
in the absence of fraud or duress,
can get as much Of the bequest
as they would have received had
there been no will.
Under the law, when one dies
without a will, the estate is split
in varying degrees among sur
vivors.
The District statute, diluted
today, was adopted to destroy
ANY incentive a witness might
have to perjure himself as to the
validity Of a will merely because
he was named a beneficiary.
