WASHINGTON, May 8 (U. P.).— The good neighbor policy was in high gear today as President Roosevelt and official Washington played host to President Manuel Pradq of Peru. Prado, first South American President to visit this country during his term of office, was given a wartime military welcome at Bolling Field yesterday. President Roosevelt, his ranking

English Father Expects Quints

Since He's ‘Man of Destiny

CULHAM, England, May 8—Pvt. Arthur John Woodley, whose wife, Emily, is about to give birth to three or more babies, believes there will be five because he ‘is “a man of destiny.” “It’s just like a gypsy fortune teller told my sister years ago,” he said. “She told my sister that her brother Jack—that’s me—would be very successful. However, I admit I never thought fame. would come this way.” Dr. J. H. Fisher, the young attending physician, is skeptical over

his patient's prospects for becom-

ing the ‘mother of quintuplets, though Oxford university medical experts, studying X-ray plates of Mrs. Woodley, believe there is a considerable ' possibility that she will, “It’s triplets for sure and maybe quads, but I'm afraid the possibility of quintuplets is very slim, no matter how much the villagers want them,” he said. Dr. Fisher, however, had been so sure. that something unusual was

authorities to grant the father a three months furlough, thinking he ought to be on hand. . Pvt. Woodley was drawing a beer at his father-in-law’s Lion inn and reporting how things were going with Emmie when he recalled the gypsy’s prophecy. “Yes, sir, I'm a man of destiny,” he said. “And me nothing more than an auto mechanic before and an army private next. Of course, I'm the worriedest man in the kingdom right now, but when I know Emmie and the babies are all right I'll be the happiest.”

TAX EXEMPTION

House Group Studies Plan ‘Yielding Half of What

Treasury Asks.

WASHINGTON, May 8 (U. PJ). —The house ways and means committee’'s staff of experts today proposed an individual income tax increase that would yield less than half the $4,300,000,000 from this source by the treasury. The staff plan was presented to the committee this morning by Colin E. Stam, who said it would raise $1,900,000,000. Mr. Stam proposed, committee members said, retention of the present individual income tax exemptions of $1500 for a married couple, $750 for a single person and $400 for each dependent. The difference in taxes between the Stam plan and the treasury program on a $10,000 salary would amount to about $1000. Committee members said that a married man earning $10,000 a year, would pay $2400 in taxes under the treasury’s March 3 proposal and nearly $3000 under the new treasury program submitted yesterday. Under the Stam plan he would pay about $1800. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr, proposed yesterday that present exemptions be lowered to $1200 for married couples, $600 for single persons and $300 for each dependent. Details Are Withheld Details of the Stam plan were not made public inimediately. Prior to the submission of his proposals, committee members ap-

I | peared to be entirely out of sym-

pathy with Mr. Morgenthau’s re-

. | vised

program. Both administration supporters and opponents shared that view. The former argued that the income tax schedule has been moved far enough invo the nation’s low income groups; the latter contended that the real burden of the treasury’s proposal would fall on middle income groups whose taxes in some cases would be five and six times greater than under the treasury’s earlier recommendations. Tables of the new schedules released by the treasury revealed that the reduced exemptions would hit the married man-with children the hardest. He would have not only a reduced exemption as head of the household but also a smaller exemption for each child. See adjoining tables.) Committee members disclosed that a combination of all the treasury and White House tax recommendations so far would yield $9,600,000,000 in new war revenue. Committee members generally expressed the opinion that the treasury’s new recommendation on exemptions would force an immediate showdown on a war sales tax.

Forced Savings, Decline In Non-Military Goods.

Compulsory savings, a decline in the output of non-military goods and the application of priorities to railroad shipments were predicted by Roy Wenzlick, St. Louis, Mo., in an address to the Indianapolis Real Estate Board last night. He also expressed doubt that
