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.

Exchange Teacher
Speaks ai Rotary
Australians like Americans
but do not understand the
people of this country, John
L. 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.
Youth Nabbed With
17 'Hot Parakeets
Houston IUPD - A 16-year-
old boy who tried to trade
"hot" parakeets for a couple
of chipmunks was questioned
by juvenile authorities today
The youth admitted he
broke into a garage and stole
45 parakeets from an aviary
All but 17 flew away as he
hurried to a pet shop. When
the boy arrived and offered
the 17 birds for two chip
munks, he was nabbed by po
lice.
