recalled to active service last October to become chairman of a new evaluation board studying the navy’s reserve program. He was regarded as one of the navy’s top experts on ordnance and gunnery and had become an authority on the problems of adapting naval warfare to atomic weapons and guided missiles. Blandy presided over the historic Bikini tests in which atomic bombs were exploded near a •guinea pig” fleet of warships. He said afterward he believed nuclear weapons would not make navies obsolete but would require radical changes in naval design and tactics of sea fighting.

Tax Revisions Under Study By House Group Democrats May Ask SIOO Increase In Present Exemption WASHINGTON. UP —House tax writers went to work today on a f1.500,000,CM tax relief program. Republicans, headed by chairman Daniel A. Reed >R-N.Y.) of the tax-framing house ways & means committee, said the proposed revision of tax laws, with elimination of "inequities and unnecessary hardships” for all classes of taxpayers, was a job long overdue. But Democrats were skeptical of the approach taken by the Republicans. They believe ~that most of the proposed relief, as worked out by treasury and congressional tax experts, would go to businesses, corporations and individuals in the higher tax brackets. A move was afoot among the Democrats to offer a substitute tax relief program of their own —a 1100 increase in the present personal Income tax exemption of S6OO a year. Rep. Hale Boggs (D-La.) told reporters he was "quite sure” that before final action is taken by the house on tax revision legislation, a Democrat will propose a 110O 1 inThe Jax revision measure is the result of months of work by ways and means committee and treasury tax experts. President Elsenhower plans to incorporate 25 specific recommendations orrtax revision in his budget message next week. \ In its present form the revision bill before the ways and means committee would do these things, among others: 1. Give working mothers the right-to deduct up to, S3OT a year as a business expense for hiring a.maid op baby sitter tb look after •children under seven years of age. 2. Give individuals the right to take larger medical expense deductions. At present only those expenses exceeding five percent of gross income may be deducted. It is proposed to change the figure to three percent. 3. Permit businesses to write off more in depreciation in the early'years. " ° ___ 4. Permit parents with sontrpr; daughters in college to continuelo take the son or daughter as a de-’ pendent for tax purposes, even though the dependent may earn more than S6OO a year and hence become a taxpayer himself. ___ 5. Provide more liberal treatment for persons receiving dividend checks. At present there is so-called “double taxation” of dividends, taxes being paid first by the corporation and then by the stockholder. The proposed bill would permit the stockholder to take a 5 percent credit the first year, 10 percent the second, and 15 percent the third year and beyond. Reed described the tax revision legislation as “nonpartisan.” “All groups of taxpayers will benefit from the proposed legislation, particularly wage.earners and farmers who cannot afford expensive tax advice,” he said.

The number of robberies fell off sharply during the late 1930 s until —during the years of World War II —they averaged less than 100 a year. The upsurge began in 1946, and has been climbing steadily ever since. In more recent years, the rate of increase—espcially in the number of robberies —has jumped tremendously. ■ Federal crime experts were at a Toss to explain the sudden upsurge in bank crimes, except to say that it reflects the general rise of' crime in general, If you have semething to sen or rooms for rent, try a’ Democrat Want Ad.
