0fCo-ops Hit
By the Associated Press

The Treasury wants Con-
gress to tougher income tax
laws on farm and other busi-
ness co-operatives.
Jay w. Glasmann, assistant
to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, told the House Ways and
Means Committee yesterday
that co-ops enjoy an unwar-
ranted tax advantage over
competing businesses.
Edward E. Slettom, repre-
senting the Minnesota Asso-
citation of Co-operatives, st.
Paul, called the Treasury's po-
sition discriminatory and puni-
tive.
Representative Harrison,
Democrat of Virginia, a COM
mittee member, said that tax
exempt advantages now en-
joyed by savings and loans
groups, credit unions and SINH
lar mutual forms of business
would not be affected.
Unfair Competition
"The difference is that ones
a farmer and the other is a
banker" he said.
Mr.. Glasman replied that the
important factors in the case
of the co-ops involved are that
I'VE now have income that is
not taxed at all (and unfair
competition with other bust
ness"
The Treasury proposal would
insure payment of tax on net
coop marginS-or profits
either by the coop itself OF by
the CO. op member when
patronage dividends are dis
tributed.
Can Exclude Dividends
Under current law, by rea-
son of court decisions. it is
now possible for a cooperative
to exclude from taxable in
come all dividends paid to its
members in non-cash form.
Because these non-cash divi-
dends have no market value,
they are not taxable to the
members receiving them.
Under the Treasur'y's pro-
posal, co-operatives would be
permitted to exclude from tax
able income the amounts dis
tributed to patrons only if
they are Cd paid in cash, or
CD in the form of qualified"
patronage certificates bearing
a 4 per cent interest rate and
redeemable in cash no later
than three years.

to have some parts of the world thinking we are second" in na- tional d fense and military strength.
 The cry for more money for defense got new backing from Democrats in Congress,
 Rep. Clarence Cannon D-Mo), usually. one of Congress most vocal critics of high spending, called in a House speech for in- creasing the Presidents 40-billion defense budget. His main concern was the airborne bomber alert advocated by Air Force General Thomas Power.
 Every city in the United States is subject to direct attack and our enemy has the weapons to launch such an attack now," Cannon said.
 By 1863 we will be able to destroy every major city on the face of the earth"
 Cannon's outburst brought re- torts from Republicans that he was trying to "scare the Amer ican people to death" Rep. John Rhodes R-Ariz) said statements like Cannon's increase the danger that the Soviet Union could mis- judge U. s. strength and start war.

WASHINGTON, R - Gen. Nathan Twining told senators Tuesday he is convinced that no nation could attack the United States now or in the future with out receiving unacceptable dam age"
 The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff voiced this con- fidence in the U. S. defense pro- gram - and the deterrent author ity it carries for any enemy - in testimony to the Senate Space and Preparedness Committees.
 These groups have heard a parade of high military figures urge multi-billion-dollar additions to President Eisenhower's 40-bil- lion defense budget.
 Only Monday, Admiral Arleigh Burke, Chief of Naval Operations, said the Navy wants six more Polaris missile submarines and would ask nearly billion dollars for them. But he also said he didn't know whether the Defense Departemnt would back this Navy view, and that he supported Pres ident Eisenhower's budget.
 Twining reminded the senators that it is his responsibility to ad- wise the President, the Secretary of Defense and the National Se- curity Council.
 He also said that he believes U. s. intelligence estimates are reliable and that they and result ing plans are revised almost daily.
 Twining said that it always is natural for each military com- mander to Hike to have just a little more" than he receives, add ing that he respects their views even if he disagrees.
 Sen. John Stennis D-Miss), presiding in the absence of Sen ate Democratic Leader Lyndon Johnson, said the senators wanted Twining's advice as the JCS chair man, former Air Force Chief of Staff, and as a citizen.
 Stennis commented that Presi- dent Eisenhower soon would be participating in a summit confer Fence. He said it might be unwise

 It's been estimated that Mr. Edison received patents at the average rate of every days from the time he was 30 until he died at 84 - for total of 1093.

Joint Committees Ponder State
 Employe Pensions

JUNEAU, lR = The Finance and State Affairs. Committees of the Legislature held joint exec utive session Monday to discuss a proposal for a public employees retirement system in Alaska.
 The bill, to be offered as substitute for bill introduced in the 1859 session and carried over for action this year, would create retirement plan for state en- ployes only at the start. However, provisions would be included to permit employees of various poli- tical subdivisions throughout the state to enter the program later.
 Sen. Al Owen, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, said the closed-door session heard ac- tuarial reports on the cost factors involved in the proposal. Meanwhile, the Senate Judici- ary Committee introduced a bill covering retirement for state judges. -... .'--.r .} ,. ,.f,--,i The bill sets 70 as the manda- tory age limit and provides max imum benefit allowances of 75 per cent of the jurist's monthly sal ary after retirement. Widows of retired judges would be eligible for 50 per cent of the, monthly retirement pay.
 Judges would pay per cent of their salaries into the system, and retirement benefits would range from 10 per cent after four years service, to the maximum of 75 per cent.
