how school programs would be

Because the slightly pink

is a moat. And within that
moat on the western end Of

good-sized greenhouse 500

With the temperature ris-

Reck|essCredif
Gornishment
Measure Similar
To Bur's Proposal

An amended garnishment
bill to curb reckless credit In
the District was reported TODAY
by q House District subcom-
mittee.
Subcommittee Chairman Da-
Wis, Democrat Of Georgia, said
the measure was Identical TO q
proposal drafted by the Dis
trict Bar Association except
for these two changes:
His subcommittee added a
proviso exempting so per cent
Of debtors salaries from at
tachments In alimony garnish-
fi1ent cases.
Punishment asked by the bar
association for employers who
fail to deduct garnishment at
tachments from debtor en-
lployes' checks was reduced
AS drafted, the bill made such
employers liable for payment Of
the total debt under attach
ment. As reported. the bin
limits the employer liability
onlysto an amount equal to the
payment he failed to make.
Opposition Growing
The subcommittee recon-
mended that the new bill re-
place the Districts anticuated
garnishment laws. despite pow
erful opposition growing In the
Senate.
Veteran Senators LANCER
Republican of North Dakota
and Johnston, Democrat of
South Carolina, yesterday CO.
sponsored legislation to rid the
District Of garnishment proce-
dures altogether.
Garnishment is a system by
which creditors may collect
debts by court-ordered attach
ments on pay checks given
debtors by those debtors en-
ployers.
The reported bill sets a slid
ing scale Of garnishments based
on a debtors earnings, as
follows:
On pay up to 5000 monthly
10 per cent could be attached;
from 5000 to $500, 20 per cent
and more than $500, so pei
cent.
Low-IncOme Debtors
The measure was aimed al
protecting low-income debtors
by allowing only one attach
ment to be effective at one time
In other words. a mans salary
could not be seized for payment
Of further debts until one single
creditor has been completely
satisfied.
Employers would be respon-
sible for forwarding creditors
money once a nionth.

They were rejected this
morning by the subcommittee
