The Federal Government
tempers the tax winds to par
ents by granting a tax exemp-
ton for each child. But if the
father dies and leaves an estate
to be divided among the chill
dren, estate taxes bear down
on the children when there is
more than one.
Appeals have been made to
the House Ways and Means
Committee to change the estate
tax laws.
Philip c. Pendleton, an at
torney, testified before the
committee for the Family Tax
Association of Philadelphia. He
identified the association as one
organized "for the purpose OF
encouraging and fostering fam
lilies with children. and to that

higher with turnover moderate.

were posted by key stocks in q
number of major groups.
Business news remained
mixed and there we're some UNI
favorable corporate items. A

Large Families Suffer
Under Estate Tax Laws

mate inequities in the applica-
ton OF tax laws to those hav-
ing children.
Two Estates Cited
He cited two estates, each
having a taxable value of $780,
900. In one case an only child
is the heir and received 1884,
800. In the second case there
are five children and they d.
vide the $354,300. Each re-
ceives $70.860.
This could not be called
taxation according to ability to
pay by the widest stretch of
the Imagination Mr.. Pendle-
ton asserted.
The argument applies to
more modest estates, too.
A return must be filed only
if the gross estate is more than
100000. Assume a 100000
estate after deductions. There
is $4,000 to be taxed. An only
child would get $35,200 of that
sum. If there are five children
each would receive 5000.
There is, of course, the 100000
also.
Rates Are Different
One witness pointed out that
different rates for gift and
estate taxes-the former is
lower-make for large scale tax
avoidance. The point was made
that gifts of property during
life remove it from the highest
applicable rates of the estate
tax to the much lower gift tax
rates.
There is also the case where
the property. instead Of being
bequeathed outright. is left in
trust. The heir may have only
a life interest and then the
property is to decend to other
designated heirs. In that case
no tax is paid when the heir
with the life interest dies.
BY the skilled use of the
trust fund. the committee was
told. the estate tax may be
skipped for two and sometimes
even for three generations.
Another witness called the
estate tax conflscatory. The
rates range from 3 to II per
cent of the taxable estate. There
are so many ways Of avoiding
or minimizing these taxes that
the actual yield is only a frac-
ton of what might be expected
from the scale Of rates. accord
ing to the witness. who added.
There is not much sense in
having extremely heavy rates
il only the extremely naive pay
them"

plants in a location protected

winds. if you can Young plants
may be protected from cold by
stacking either straw or corn
stalks around them.
Pecans-Stuart or Cape Fear
Stuart is still the standard but
Cape Fear is better because the
shell is thinner and the meat to
shell ratio is higher Cape Fear is
almost as good as Schley in this
respect because it will shell out
almost 60 per cent meat. 1t IS
more resistant to scab a fungus
diseased than is Schley.
Neither the pecan nor the fig
is adapted to the Upper Pied
mont and mountains. If you Want
a hardy pecan for the mountains,
TRY Green River.
Black Walnuts - Stabler and
Thomas are good varieties. Ker-
nels of the walnut sell high from
your grocery shelf and the timber
is valuable in the furniture in

not spot a few black walnut trees

lowing figures will show:
Among those born in Israel
or who immigrated before
the establishment of the State
in 1948, the total illiteracy
rate is only SO percent (plus
0.6 percent of readers but
non-writers), while among
new immigrants there are
2O.4 percent total illiterates
(plus / percent readers only.
1T Is INTERESTING to
compare the language dis
tribution among those who
read and write. Of the 93.8
percent of literate old timers,
16.1 can do so only in He
brew, 6.7 percent only in
some foreign language, and
II percent in both Hebrew
and foreign language. Among
the 1873 percent literate, new
cOmerS, on the other hand,
7.6 percent can read and
write only in Hebrew, 29.7
percent only in some foreign
language and Al percent in
both.
IIIiteracy is more than
twice as high among women
as among men, both among
the Oldtimers and the new
immigrants. While % per
cent of men and 8.4 percent
of women among oldtimers
are totally illiterate, among
new immigrants male litter
acy is 1873 percent and female
illiteracy % percent.
