Housing Aid
Not Alarming,
Bankers Told

NEW YORK, Mar. 8 tAP).-
Federal aid TO housing over the
past % years has cost American
taxpayers only $500 million,
Senator John Sparkman. DEM
ocrat Of Alabama. said today,
Does this figure startle
you?" Mr.. Sparkman asked in
q speech prepared for a bank
ers' convention here.
1T shouldn't because over
the same period we have spent
over'a thousand times as much
for wars and defense-and the
postal deficit since 1887 has
amounted to approximately
five billions" he said.
Senator Sparkman. featured
speaker at the seth annual
savings and mortgage confer
ence sponsored by the American
Bankers Association, said the
Senate-passed housing bill cur
rently awaiting full congress
sional approval is not infia-
tionary.
The nature and causes OF
imitation are seriously and con-
tinuously debated by the most
learned economists" he ad-
derted. "The existence Of q
Federal deficit is by no means
synonymous with imitation.
1t Is now agreed by many au-
thorities that the price infia-
ton Of recent years was stim-
ulated by massive industrial
expansion in 1855 and 1856
This boom was caused in large
part by corporate tax law re-

The Senator cited estimates
that the bill would raise Presi-
dent Eisenhower's 1959-60 bud

II interest rates on CT home

would boost the Federal budget

on the Taxation OF Mutual
Life Insurance Companies. to-
day said his group win propose
four amendments In the House
bill to reduce the tax increase
and correct serious shortcom-
ings."
Hearings on the tax measure
started this morning before the
Senate Finance Committee.
The bill approved by the
House on February 10 would
cost the life insurance industry
$3.50 million in Federal taxes
for the tax year 1858. compared
with 1919 million they would
pay under the formula used
I'M 1857. the committee has
estimated.
Cut to S475 Million
Revisions sought by the mu-
tual companies would set 1858
taxes at $475 million. or nearly
so per cent above the old for
mula. declared Mr.. Dawson.
who is president Of Mutual Life
Insurance Co. of New York. The
10 per cent tax increase pro-
posed by the House bill is ''un-
precedented for any major in
dustry in the history of the
United States" he said.
Mr.. Dawson said the House
bin completely overlooks the
fact that life insurance is al
ready heavily taxed by the
States and ignores the fact that
life insurance is already the
most heavily taxed form of
savings"
State taxes on life insurance
premiums netted $500 million
in 1858 and several States are
planning to raise these taxes
In 1859, Mr. Dawson reported.
Excessive taxation will tend
to discourage savings through
life insurance" he warned.
This, in turn. will reduce the
amount Of long-term invest
ment capital required to pro-
vide more homes. more factor
les. and more jobs for our ex-
panding population. Life in
surance assets constitute our
country's greatest source Of
capital for long term invest
ment."
Four Amendments Asked
The Dawson committee will
reeomme end the following
amendments:
l. Taxable investment in
come should be computed on
the basis of each company {
own experience. rather thar
using artificial industry-widt
averages which favor some
companies and penalize others
2. Half Of the dividends paid
to policyholders should be made
deductable. Under the House
bill, no deduction is permitted
for dividends paid by mutual
companies whose gains from
operations are less than Their
taxable investment income.
8. Provisions FOR insured pen
sion plans should be clarified
to grant tax treatment COM
