(UPI) Proposal Offered House Committee On Dividend Tax Washlngton-IUrD - By sweet ening the proposal with tax relief for small stockholders, administration forces hoped today to persuade the House Ways & Mens committee to approve heavier taxes on divl dends of big stockholders. The committee was called behind closed doors to vote on the compromise. It refused by a 14-11 vote last week to tamper the tax benefits en Joyed by stockholders. How ever, the compromise was ex' pectcd to be accepted by a close vote. If so, it would boost to $000 million the new revenue the committee has picked up in its round of tentative votes on President Kennedy's tax-rcduction-and revision prc gram. Hie compromise would yield $300 million In new revenue. The committee Tues day voted restrictions on in dividuals' itemized tax deduc tions that would yield $500 million In revenue. Previous decisions accounted for the other $100 million. Chairman Wilbur D. Mills (D-Ark.) is putting uif com mittee decisions on the across' the-board rate cuts Kennedy has proposed for Individuals and corporations. Mills wants to know first how much new revenue the committee will provide through tax-tighten-lng revisions in the tax struc- ture. Under existing law the first $90 in dividends received by a stockholder ($100 in the case of a couple filing a joint return) Is free of tax and the remainder is taxed 41 per centage points below the tax- paycrs regular rale. ' Kennedy called for repeal of these provisions which were written Into law by I republican Congress in 1054 The compromise plan would boost the tax exemption to $100 ($200 In the case of couple filing Jointly) and re peal the 41 per cent credit The committee voted Tues day to bar individuals from claiming deductions on fed eral income tax returns for the state and local taxes they pay on gasoline, automobile tags and drivers' licenses, cig arettes and alcohol and other beverages. ' Driving Care Urged 2y Chief Gold Hill - With schools now dismissed for the sum mer, chief of police, ' Bill Young today asked Gold Hill area drivers to be doubly alert for children playing in or near streets in residential areas. Young said the youngsters are especially preoccupied ! with having fun the first sev eral weeks after school la out. "It's up to drivers to be driving at a speed which will permit a stop in time to avoid an accident. Young said The police chief pointed out that anyone riding a bi cycle upon any street or high' way Is subject to the same traffic regulations as is the driver of a motor vehicle ex cept those regulations which by their very nature cannot apply to bicycles. Chief of Police Young has urged the people of Gold Hill to help In the matter of bi cycle safety and traffic regu- lations. Ha stressed that regulations will be enforced on bicycle , riders. He said parents can , help by instructing their cull t dren that bicycle riders must obey all stop signs, direction signals, signaling and driving on the right side of the street or highway at all times. Also bicycles used at night must have the required lights. Senator Proposes Wheat Program Washington 0JPI1 Sen. George McGovern (D-S.D.) to day proposed a wheat pro gram which ho said would probably fill President Ken nedy's requirements for any new wheat legislation this year. McGovern said the program of mandatory production con trols and high price supports - overwhelmingly rejected by farmers May 21 - could be converted with a brief bill Into a voluntary compliance program. Under such a program, he said, farmers choosing to comply with the controls pro posed for the 1004 crop would get price supports of about $1.05 a bushel, plus payments for land taken out of grain production, Those cooperating will get mark; ting certificates for about three-fourths of their 1064 crop. These certificates, which farmers could sell would be worth 70 cents a bushel. This would be added to the money the farmers could make cither from open market sales or putting the grain under government sup ports at about $1.25 a bushel Other congressional news: Dtprstsad Aitast Semite leaders worked today to try to rescue President Kennedy's depressed areas aid plan from the stunning House upset last week. They scheduled the bill for Senntc debate Tues day, and Democratic Whip Hubert M. Humphrey, Minn., said he hoped it would be approved and receive a "more pleasant experience when is returned to the House. T a x st Administration forces hoped today to per suarie the House Ways Means cnmmiltce to approve heavier taxes on dividends of big stockholders with tax re lief for small stockholders The compromise was expected to be accepted by a close vote.

Smock, Medford High school instructor, said in an address here Tuesday before the Medford Rotary club. Speaking at a luncheon meeting at the Rogue Valley Country club, he observed that Australians also physical ly appear more like Ameri cans than their English cous ins, yet actually their think ing and political views are quite different. Smock, who taught in Aus tralia for a year on a teacher- exchange program, explained that the government has lit tle or no control over the schools, and that most sec ondary school instructors fill what is virtually an appren ticeship in the country before entering the elementary sys tems in the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne. After the six-year elemen tary school course, many Australian boys and girls switch to technical schools. Generally it is the brighter student who goes on to high school and college. The custom of mid-morn ing and mid-afternoon "tea- breaks" seems to be a good idea. Smock said. Another good feature of Australian elementary schools is manda tory participation in some form of athletics. Generally, Australian stu dents acquire a better edu cation in schools because they learn how to really study, the Medford instructor observed. The university-trained second ary teachers also seem to be better prepared for their job than do their U.S. counter parts, he said.
