Life Insurance Spokesmen Rap
Tax on Savings for Spenders
Washineton. Feb. 14 U. Life Insurance spokesmen said to-
Hav that the administration's proposal to tax their business is
an attempt to "soak the savers for the benefit of the spenders."
However, the spokesman endorsed an extension into 1950 of
. "sinn-irnn" hill levying $90,000,000 in taxes on insurance
companies for the 1947-49 per-'
lod. The extension would bring
in an estimated $50,000,000 ad
ditional. The bill has passed the house
and is awaiting senate action.
Claris Adams, president of the
Ohio State Life Insurance Co.,
Columbus, O., said the measure
uses what the companies consid
er a proper "industrywide" ap
proach to taxing life insurance.
Adams, appearing before the
house ways and means commit
tee, described the administra
tion's tax proposals as "an cf
for"; to shift the emphasis from
taxing French pcrfumei to tax
ing savings."
The stopgap bill is based on
net investment income over and
above that required -for re
serves. It is designed to replace
a 1941 formula under which the
companies failed to pay any
taxes for the three-year 1947-49
period because of a drop in their
investment return.
Horace R. Bassford, vice pres
ident and chief actuary of Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Co.
New York, described the admin
istration's suggestions as "exact
ly as if you tried to tax deposits
paid in through a bank win
dow."
Head hunting is said to have
been practiced in the British
Isles up to the end of the Middle
Ages.

ROSSELLINI'S LAWYER SAYS:
Ingrid Bergman's Son Will
Become Legitimate in All Ways
By NORMAN MONTELLIER
Rome, Italy, Feb. 14 (U.R) Ingrid Bergman's son may be legal
ly motherless for several weeks, but eventually he "will be
come legitimate in every way," Roberto Rossellini's lawyer
said today.
The lawyer, Gino Sotis, explained some of the legal quirks
in the birth of the child 12 days-
ago to Miss Bergman and Ros-
sellini while she still was the
legal wife of Dr. Peter Lind-
strom of Hollywood.
Sotis said it would be some
weeks before Miss Bergman
could register the Mexican di
vorce granted to her last week.
Until that is done, he said, she
cannot go on record legally as
the mother of the child.
In the meantime, the boy is
listed in the Italian birth rec
ords as Enalo Roberto Giusto
Giuseppe Rossellini," "the son of
Roberto Rossellini." The moth
er's name is not mentioned.
The registration was made
Sunday at the last possible moment.
"The child has been declared
the proper son of Rossellini, re
serving to Miss Bergman the ne
cessity of making a similar de
claration as soon as her Mexican
divorce has been registered in
Italy and Sweden," Sotis said.
"The process of registration will
last some weeks.
"As soon as Miss Bergman's
divorce is registered with Swed
ish and Italian authorities, she
will make the formal declaration
of recognition of her son.
"With the eventual marriage
of the couple, the child will be
come legitimate in every way."
The birth registration was
made just before the deadline
by an attorney representing Ros
sellini, who later held a press
conference in his suite at the
Excelsior hotel to explain what
had happened.
Rossellini was accompanied by
four attorneys and spokesmen,
one of whom cited article 74 of
the Italian civil code of 1939 for
the unusual procedure of listing
the father instead of the mother
in the birtth records.
The spokesman said the law
states that a certification of birth
may be made by an "interested
parent" and that the other par
ent may be named later.
The child was listed as the son
of Rossellini to prevent Miss
Bergman's former husband, from
whom she was divorced by a
mail order Mexican decree last
week, from making any ethni
cal claim to the child. The baby
was born before Miss Bergman
received her divorce from Dr.
Peter Lindstrom of Hollywood
It was necessary to register
the baby's birth Sunday because
it was the 10th day after the
birth. Registration in Italy must
be made 10 days after birth
unless the registrar's office is
closed that day, when it must
be made the day following.
Rossellini said the baby would
be baptized "within the next few
days, probably in a small chapel"
in the Villa Margherita hospital
where Miss Bergman and the
baby are slaying.
Young Immigrant Boy
Killed Playing in Barn
Colton, Wash., Feb. 14 (U.R)
A young Polish immigrant boy
was killed in a barn here Sun
day night while playing with
another boy, the sheriff's office
reported.
The sheriff said Jan Bech,
about 16, was shot through the
breast with a .22 calibre pistol
and died almost instantly.
Prosecutor Lawrence Hick
man reported that the boy was
playing with Don Drussell, 17,
when the gun went off.
"We were playing around in
the barn," young Drussell said.
"I don't know what happened.
All of a sudden the gun went
off and shot Jan."
Hickman said Jan and his fam
ily had come over from Europe
last September and the boy's
father had been working on the
Drussell farm.
