Congress Urged to End
Savings Insurance Limit

Removal of the Governments
$4,000 ceiling on insurance of
savings in savings and loan as
sociations and in banks was
urged today by Harold P. Bra
man, executive manager of the
National Savings and Loan As
ISOLATION.
Addressing the National As
ISOLATION of State Savings and
Loan Supervisors at Springfield,
ILL.,, Mr.. Braman said ehmina-
ton of the ceiling on size OF
accounts would produce a SUBJ
stantial increase in funds avail
able for home financing and
help to widen home ownership
further.
Experience has proven the
wisdom of Congress in authoriz-
ing the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corp. and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp
to double their limit on savings
insurance to $4,000 from SIS, 00O
in 1850, Mr.. Braman said. He
added.
Tight money conditions and
the substantial growth of pen
sion funds and other large
trusts now raise the question
as to whether the present $l0.-
900 insurance ceiling is ade-
quste and whether it should be
eliminated"

Study ofNoney
Credit Policies

A national Commission ION
Money and Credit to conduct
a broad three-year inquiry into
the public and private none
tary and credit policies of the
United States, was announced
here today by the Committee
for Economic Development. 1t
was emphasized that this will
be a nongoyernmental COM
mission.
The announcement was made
at the 18th anniversary meet
ing of the ,CED Board Of
Trustees by its chairman,
Donald K. David. He said that
CED. a nonpartisan organiza-
ton Of $50 businessmen and
educators, had been given an
initial grant Of 100000 by the
Ford Foundation to finance the
commission.
Membership on the 9-to-18-
man commission will be de-
termined without consideration
of politics to assure objectivity
IN the body's findings and
Recommendations. Mr.. David
stated. ra
1t will be the first full-scale
inquiry into monetary policies
since the Aldrich Committee
of Congress began its three
year study in 1908. :
A distinguished group Of
economists from the Nation,
leading universities and re.
search organizations will assis,
the commission to explore ways
in which the functioning o.
public and private banking ant
nonbanking credit institutions
can make a greater contribution
to the country's economic well
being.
Mr.. David said that Gel
would organize the commission
to assure its independence anc
perform administrative func'
tons for the commission.

emption.
AS an illustration. say your
mother gets $500 from you and
$500 more from another source
You have not contributed more
than half her support and she
doesn't qualify as your depend
ent.
But If you add just a couple
of dollars to your contribution
between now and the year end
she will qualify as your de-
pendent and you win get the
money-saving 5000 exemption
Have you been contributing
to the support Of a parent who
also gets social security Of, say,
$500 - year?
Although an adult whose
gross income is $500 or more
can't be claimed as a depend
ent, social security is not con-
sidered gross income: so your
parents receipt Of this doesn't
disqualify him as your depend
ent.
But this $500 in social Sc
curity is counted as part of the
money your parent spent fol
his support. Thus. If he spent
it on his support and you con.
tributed less than this amount
to him in 1857. you can't claim
him as a dependent.
| If, before December 81, vol

You may be among the young
adults who have been contrib
uting to a parents support this
year or the parents who have
been supporting a child who
also earned monNy on his or
her own during 1857.
If so, you, undoubtedly plan
to name the person you helped
support as a dependent on your
income tax and to claim a 5000
exemption.
But you can slip up badly,
have your claim diSallowed and
be compelled to pay extra taxes

before 1857 ends. that the in
dividual qualities as your de-
pendent and that you are en-
titled to an exemption.
Adding one single dollar to
your. support contribution in
the next few weeks can save
you one hundred dollars-plus.
Even at the bottom tax bracket.
the $500 exemption is worth
$3.50 in tax savings.
[ First. the basic rules:
To claim a dependent. you
must have furnished more than
half of his or her support dur
ing 1857. The only exception is
a claim under q multiple sup
port agreement; this is clari-
fed below.
With the exception of certain
children-those under 10 OF
who. regardless of age. have
been or are attending school
or receiving on-farm training
full time-dependents must moi
have had $500 or more of gross
income during 1857.
