The amendments, the overall
effect of which would be to cut
the city's revenues by about
$500. 900. were suggested by the
District Commissioners. The
subcommittee declined, however,
for the time being at least, to
approve another suggested
amendment to exempt the first
81 200 income from annuities re-
ceived by retired Civil Service
employees.
Federation Of Government En-
ployes, made this last suggestion
but Commissioner David B. Kar-

affect District revenues too Sc
verely. Later he told a reporter
he thought the loss would be
about 100000 If this change

9 Back Law to Curb
Garnishment Abuses
One Opposes
Bill at Senate
Unit HEARING
BY EMERSON BEAUCHAMP

By EMERSON BEAUCHAMP
Members Of a Senate District
Subcommittee considering legis-
lation to curb punishment abuses
concentrated today on making
sure the bill provides that sup
port payments would take pri-
ority over any wage attachments.
Holding its first hearing on the
bill, the Judiciary Subcommittee
heard six witnesses for the bill
and one against.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
Of Wyoming, sponsor of the legis-
lation. testified he thought per-
haps the bill should be amended
to provide priority for support
payments.
Clark Agrees
Chairman Clark, Democrat of
Pennsylvania, indicated he
agreed. He asked one witness:
why should a creditor get one
cent before the debtors family
have been provided for?"
But Municipal Court Judge
Milton S. Kronheim, jr., said the
bill would greatly alleviate" the
maintenance problem.
Chief Judge Leonard P. Walsh
of Municipal Court and James A.
Wiley, chairman of the District
Bar Associations Municipal
Court Committee, said priority
of maintenance was a moot
question" because 80 per cent
of a debtors earnings would be
available for support payments.
The bill, drafted by a bar
association subcommittee, would
provide that only 10 per cent
of a debtors salary could be
attached.
Present law gives a debtor a
$200-a-month exemption from
garnishments is he is the head
of the house or $50 a month for
a single person. But these
exemptions are not granted I'M
less they are applied for and
the entire salary is held while
the court considers the claim for
exemption.
One criticism of the present
law has been that runaway
fathers are often unable to
make their support payments
because their salaries have been
attached.
Completely Emphasized
Judge Kronheim, a longtime
critic of the present garnish-
ment law. said the completely of
the law is 'out of all proportions
TO the money involved, though
not out Of proportion to the
misery involved"
He said the S20O-a-month ex-
emption. enacted by Congress in
1852, had not checked the abuses
of the punishment statutes.
Before 1852, the exemption had
been only 500.
Answering criticism by Rep
resentative Alternately, Democrat
of Mississippi. that the proposed
10 per cent statute would pro-
tect "deadbeat debtors" Judge
Kronheim argued that it is UP
to merchant to protect himself.
/ Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert Kneipp testified in favor
OF the bill on behalf of the Com
missioners. He said they feel it
is fair compromise enabling a
creditor to collect his debts with
out depriving the debtor of
money he needs to live on"
The lone witness against the
bill was John L. Schroeder, an
attorney. He represented the
Metropolitan Businessmen's AS
ISOLATION. which he described as
a group of about 40 small bus
linessmen formed two months
ago. Some Is of these members
are credit merchants, he said.

Trouble

The other day one Herman
H. Diers, ST., 4722 Chesapeake
street NV, wrote the Ram
bier Gliding him because he
did not ramble enough.
Mr.. Diers, who does a lot
Of rambling on his own ac-
count, submitted some of his
findings such as: Longest
street in Washington is Mas
sachusetts avenue; widest is
Pennsylvania avenue. Won
der what's the narrowest?"
A Joseph Murphy has called
to say that he believes that
Hoover street NE. is the mar
rowest. 1t is smaller than
the regulation alley.
But the Rambler has some
thing more important to take
up with Mr.. Diers. Starting
of with Acacia Mutual Life
Insurance Co., Mr.. Diers
named a number Of buildings
where the house flag is flown
alone-no American flag.
Another call was from Sec
ond Vice President B. M.
Langhenry
He suggested that the
Rambler should make plain
in a future column the true
situation regarding Acacia
and the flag. He gently sug-
gested that it would have
been nice if the Rambler had
checked with Acacia before
publishing Mr.. Diers' letter.
1t would have, too.
Suppose I f1re Mr.. Diers,"
the Rambler suggested.
THAT won't be enough" "
said Mr.. Langhenry. "And
wait until the Army and the
Navy get after you"
Frightened, the Rambler
fastened to the street and
hailed a cab. This amateur
rambler-Diers-had said the
Army g. Navy Club few only
the club flag. What a relief!
He was right, it was the only
flag on the building. But the
club flies the American Flag
on national holidays.
Then the Rambler walked
to the Metropolitan Club more
frightened than ever. It had
been listed in the same cate
CORY. Relief again. 1t was
flying only the club flag. 1t
also flies the American Flag
on national holidays.
Then back to the Office
where the Rambler found

The
Rambler
Writes One
OFF the Cuff
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Joe Muller is a middle
aged, medium-built. balding
German who waits on the
front tables in the May
flowers Town and Country
Room.
On his vacation last sum-
mer he went back to Ger
many for the first time and
amused himself while passing
Lands End by tossing bottles
with notes in them overheard.
Not long after his return,
he received two answers.
A 15-year-old boy sent a
postcard Of Towan Beach,
Newquay, North Cornwall,
England, with a big resort
hotel on the bluff and *"
marking the exact spot on the
beach below where he had
found the bottle.
The other was a letter from
a dream island. The letter
head was "Burgh Island Big
bury BayZSouth Devon"
The writer, 81. Heffernon,"
said, 1T is one of the few
privately owned islands of
the English coast and extends
to about 80 acres.
THE island rises to a height
of nearly 200 feet and right
on top are the ruins of a tiny
chapel which dates to about
A. D. 900. A beacon inside
guided ships in older days"
Mr.. Heffernon inclosed
eight postcard pictures Of the
island. One was of the Pill
chard Inn, a stone house with
q gabled roof on a cove. 1t
looked like the Admiral
Benbow" in Treasure Island"
and it was not surprising to
read that it had been the
haunt of Sam Croker, a no
torius smuggler.
One picture showed a fair
sized resort hotel with a sun
lounge under glass; and a
"Ganges Room" I'VE are
converting the hotel,' Mr..
Heffernon wrote, Into NINA
ture holiday fiatlets."
Oh, to be on Burgh Island,

English Channel!
The next time the Ram
bier is with the marlin fleet,

he is going to toss notes in
bottles into the Atlantic. Then
he will travel to the ends of
the earth to call upon any.

Auto Dealers To
Promote Safety
In New Program

At a dinner meeting at the Lon

Madison County Automobile Deal
ers set in motion plan to i'm
prove and emphasize safe driving
in Madison county. Heads of all
police agencies were on hand in
cluding London and West Jefferson
police, Madison county sheriff'S
department and State Highway
Patrol members.
Following the dinner, a general
discussion was held and tentative
plans made for a progressive and
far-reaching program to be initia-
ted later in the year. The program
as outlined would stress better
driving both for teen-age and adult
drivers. Dealers Association presi-
dent, Neil Ardrey, conducted the
meeting. Tentative plans met with
approval from all in attendance
although it was evident that much
ground work needed to be covered
before the program could be put
into effect. Further information
concerning the plan will be an
nounced later, Mr.. Ardrey said.

Hon. Roger Cloud
Is Rotary Speaker

The Honorable Roger Cloud,
Speaker of the Ohio Hove" If
Representatives, was guest speak
er before the Rotary Club here
Thursday. Representative Elton
Kile of Madison county was also
an honored guest.
In an interesting and informa-
tive off-the-cuff talk, Mr. Cloud
made it clearly evident that Ohio's
school and highway programs were
both "musts" in future planning.
In the matter pertaining to the ex-
pansion of schools and colleges it
was brought out that over-crowd-
ing would continue to plague edu-
cational institutions. Too, it was
pointed out that some selective
process would probably be consid-
cred in the near future to assure
that deserving persons be given
pfBfity in attending both lower
and higher educational institutions.
With regard to the present con-
troversy over the collection of
sales taxes, Mr.. Cloud stated that
the present manner of collection
through the use of sales tax stamps
was both wasteful and antiquated
inasmuch as the printing, distribu-
ton and redemption of stamps is
now costing the state approx
mately 1412 million dollars per
year. Redemption value of sales
tax stamps by churches and other
organizations was set at about a
million per year. THE State of
Ohio is spending almost 8 million
dollars per year over the amount
which is redeemed for good
causes" Mr.. Cloud said. It was
then pointed out that a change in
the sales tax law would bring in
as much revenue as now but would
eliminate a large part of the 141a
million dollar expense now going
into printing, administration and
redemption costs.
