WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. Pp. —After two days of celebrating the] roval visit, the House spent its “day off” today in an extra session to pass the Social Security Bill. A long session yesterday spent in considering amendments g a v €; evidence that the measure would be sent to the Senate virtually unchanged from the form in which the Wavs and Means Committee reported it. | In that form the bill promised liberalized benefits and savings of approximateiy $1,710,000,000 in ex-| isting and future taxes over the next three years. By the time the House adjourned last night it had tentatively ap-| proved several vital provisions of the bill, including: | Pensions May Be $40 ! 1. An increase in the Federal contribution to state old-age pen-| sion systems, making possible a total pension of $40 instead of the present $30 2. A new method of figuring benefits for persons covered by the old-age insurance provisions of the Social Security program. which will] increase the benefits received by married persons, and by aged widows and minor children | 3. Creation of a Federal old-age and survivor insurance fund to safeguard insurance benefit func: 4. Increasing the ratio of Federal contributions for state plans for the care of dependent children from one-third to one-half What was believed to be the biggest threat to the Administra‘ion’s plans for increased old-age pensions an attempt by a bipartisan block to change the methods of Federal contributions to the states for this purpose—was held tightly in check with the help of the majority of the Republicans.

Colmer Plan Loses

A group headed by Rep. William M. Colmer (D. Miss.) made a drive to amend the bill's provisions tor matching state old-age funds. They proposed that the Federal Government put up $4 for every $1 provided by the states, up to a total of $20, present Federal contribution Proponents of this plan argued that this would aid poor states witiaout harming the wealthy states They said it would permit a state now paving only $5 a month to its needv aged to make possible for them a $25 monthly pension, with Federal funds, while states paying more than $5 would still $20 from the Federal Government. But Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C) of the House Ways and Means Committee denounced the proposal as “a long step toward the Townsend plan.” which the House had crushed last week. and Rep. Colmer’s amendinent was defeated 174 to 97.

A television broadcast was to on a platform in front of the buildling. A television broadcast was to be made there, by the National Broadcasting Co., and Meyer Davis’ Orchestra, which provided music for the luncheon, serenaded the King and Queen with such Ameri- | can favorites as “Alexander's Ragtime Band,” “Kiss Me Again” and “Indian Love Call.” Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambassador to the United States, had suggested such a program. A tour of the foreign pavilions was next, beginning at the British i [exhibit and extending through the | Irish, Canadian, Southern Rhodesilan, Australian and New Zealander pavilions. Departure from the fair grounds is scheduled for 3:40 p. m., and 20 minutes later the King and Queen will be received at Columbia University, which was founded in the reign of King George II as King's College. After a brief ceremony, the King and Queen leave by automobile for Hyde Park, N. Y., where they arrive at 6:15 p. m. to be overnight and Sunday guests of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. As the King reached New York, diplomatic observers, both of this country and the British Empire declared the two-day visit of the royal couple to Washington an outstanding success. Its significance alsa was noted in immediate criticisms of the royal visit in the German and Italian newspapers. Capital Captivated In the background of the parades and pageantry of official functions, remained the real purpose of the visit—development of closer frienciship between a great empire and the great democracy of the Western world. Diplomats believed that had been accomplished by the charm and graciousness of Their Majesties which was acclaimed in the capital for 36 hours.

watching to respond to gestures of welcome at every turn. It was Interesting to me to find how understanding and sympathetic was the Queen's attitude toward the social problems faced today by everyone, It is quite evident that no nation is without these problems

and that their solution is of worldwide interest. These sovereigns are young, and though the weight of responsibility matures people early, still one does nof always find in sovereigns such ability or even desire to comprehend the problems which confront so many people in every country today, and which must be solved before we can feel that the average man and woman can have security and liberty. I have never seen the state dining room at the White House or the table look lovelier than they did last night. The masses of pale white orchids with purple hearts, mixed with lilies-of-the-valley, baby’s breath and sprays of smaller orchids, were used in decoration. The ladies wore their prettiest gowns and every gentleman who had a decoration put it on. It was a colorful sight and Her Majesty looked the part of the fairy queen which most children dream about. The young people in the cabinet group have been given the opportunity to meet Their Majesties. Only one very young member, Diana Hopkins, has not as yet had this opportunity, and I told the Queen that I thought Diana envisioned her with a crown and sceptre. With true understanding, she responded that perhops the child would be more satisfied if she saw her dressed for dinner, as that might be more like her dream, so this has been arranged. This morning, at the end of my short press conference, Their Majesties were kind enough to meet the ladies of the press and walked down through the long aisle which they formed on either side of the corridor, bidding them good morning. It was well understood by all present that their Majesties could attend no press conferences and were simply greeting the press as they would anywhere, and have done in Canada.

received is wiped off the books by the new purchasers at auction.” “It’s a matter of supply and demand,” Mr. Smith said, “the county will never receive the back taxes in a majority of cases anyway.” “Isn't it true,” Judge Cox asked, “that a landowner could refuse to pay his taxes, let them accumulate, say, to $1000, have a friend buy it at auction for $3, clear the land of back taxes, and get it back scot free?” “Tt said. “Now I am beginning to understand what this is all about,” Judge Cox said: “Isn't this an indirect evasion of taxation?” “It amounts to that, but the property isn't worth the accumulated back taxes,” Mr. Smith said. “Well, I've always had the theory that a man ought to pay his taxes but under your theory I guess I am wrong,” Judge Cox said. “Don't you think this is an attempt to perpetrate a direct fraud on the county?” Denies Fraud Intent

is conceivable,” Mr. Smith

“No, the county would never get the back taxes anyway,” Mr. Smith replied. After Mr. Koesters had read from the list of parcels that he had been ordered to sell under Judge Cox's ruling in an attempt to show that some had not been properly advertised and was not eligible, Judge Cox said: “There are two things that occur to me. One is that the taxes on some of these parcels was too high, causing them to go delinquent. The other is if it isn't worth anything, then why do you want to buy it, Mr, Smith?” “Because my clients are interested in it,” Mr. Smith said. “That's no answer,” replied Judge Cox. “I, myself, wouldn't give a nickel for the whole lot of it,” Mr. Smith said. . “You say these people are all Indianapolis people? There is something wrong with this whole thing.”

Speaks for Treasurer

At that point Carl Seet, attorney for the County Treasurer, injected a new phase into the hearing, declaring that the dealers could not force the county to sell the land at any particular time or on any bid. He cited a 1937 amendment to the real estate tax laws which provides |that the auction sale must be a day to day sale and that the Treasurer does not have to accept the first bid (and that he can continue the sale indefinitely. “I think you have something there,” Judge Cox said. “The trouble | with this whole situation seems to be the injustice of the horizontal system of taxation.”
