APARTMENT LOOTED House Group OKs lax Cut on Dividends $240,000,000 Saving Estimated in Year for Some 4,000,000 WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 VP) The House Ways and Means Committee, bowing to a long-time plea from business circles, approved today a three-year program of sharp reductions in taxes on income from dividends. Staff experts said the proposed changes would mean a saving of $240,000,000 for about 4,000,000 taxpaying stockholders the first year. The ultimate loss in revenue was estimated at from to $1,000,000,000 annually, when the cuts reach full effect. Democrats Voted Down A majority of committee Democrats reportedly resisted the move but were voted down in a closed-door committee session.

-inis maiKea tne nrsi bud- stantial controversy in a com- mittep nrniect aimed at rewrit- ing almost all the nation's tax laws with a view to simplifying and clarifying them and removing alleged inequities. The committee is acting page by page on recommendations drafted by Treasury and Congressional staff experts, after months of labor. A Democratic move to require deduction of taxes at the source of dividend payments, much as taxes are withheld from wages, was beaten. Members said this was a straight party-line vote, 15 Republicans against 10 Democrats. I'ltimate Effect The new proposal eventually would relieve about one-third of the 4,000,000 taxpaying stock holders from paying any Federal taxes at all on their divi dend income.

It provides that individuals will pay no income taxes on dividends up to $50 in the case of a taxable year ending be tween next July 31 and Aug. 1,1 1955. For later years, individuals would pay no income taxes up to $100 of dividends received. Further, taxpayers would be allowed to deduct from their tax bill 5 of all their dividend income above $50 received during the fiscal year, from next July 31 to Aug. 1, The tax credit would be in creased to 10 of dividends above $100 the second year, and 15 the third and ensuing years.

Thus a percentage of income would be deducted not from taxable income itself hut from the actual tax payment the stockholder otherwise would face.

That strong differences of opinion still existed on the pro posed legislation, however, was made plain as several of the Councilmen who voted to have the ordinance drafted declared that eventually they might urge drastic amendments before approving final draft of the proposed ordinance.

Eight Must Approve When the antirabies ordinance is finally drafted, it must receive approval by eight of the Council's 15 members. Council chambers yesterday were jammed to overflowing with either proponents or opponents of the proposed legis- lation, many of them almost yiolent in their convictions, Approximately 100 persons ad dressed the Council during the five-hour hearing and at one time a physical struggle took place to gain access to the pub lic address system. As a vote neared on the controversial issue, there were charges of a "campaign of hysteria" being in back of the move to enact the dog ordi nance. Objections were particularly raised to the issue being placed before the Council with out a previous hearing before a committee and insistence on a decision on the part of al of the Councilmen on the basis of information given them at one-day session. Railroading Charged Aever tierore (luring mv years on the Council have I seen a matter of this impor tance railroaded through in this Dshion, complained Council man John C.

Holland. Holland previously had made a motion that a continuance be granted for one week to permit the Council to ascertain the effects of similar legislation in effect in a few other cities nn the country and to get an ap proximation ot costs. The vote on the continuance, which was rejected by a 9 to-6 vote, prob ably reflected moie consistent than anything else the feel ing in the City Council. Those who voted for the con tinuance were Councilmen Everett Burkhalter, Harriett Davenport, Ernest E. Debs, Harold A.

Henry, Charles Nav arro and Holland. Those who voted against the continuance were Councilmen Don A. Allen. Earle D. Baker, Edward R.

Roybal, L. E. Tlmberlake, Rosalind Wiener, Robert Wilkinson and John Gibson. Harby Changes Mind Councilman Harold Harby first voted to grant the continuance and changed his vote as the roll call neared an end. "I've never seen anything which generates as much heal and sheds as little light as an argument over dogs in this Council," commented Councilman Dchs as he announced that he for one would probably seek some amendments to the proposed ordinance.

Times photo Chasen's Held Up for $1300 by Quiet Man A middle-aged, well-dressed man staged a $1300 holdup early last night at Chasen's Restaurant, 9030 Beverly without customers' knowledge of the robbery. Carrying a shopping bag in one hand and a small automatic pistol in the other, the bandit accosted three of Chasen's staff members at the checkroom, just out of sight of diners in the main part of the restaurant. Manager Louis Bianco, Mailre d' William Muller and Head-waiter Paul Toless told police the man ordered them to give him "the boxes," three metal cash boxes on a shelf. After Bianco had shown him there was nothing but checks in one of the boxes, the bandit made him put the other two in the shopping hag, then ran outside and disappeared down an alley.

Txt of President Eisenhower's message on Page 10, Part I. House by Chairman Reed (R) N.Y., of the Ways and Means Committee. But there is little hope that any legislation will get early consideration because the House committee is trying to complete action on a measure revising income tax laws and the Senate is compelled to wait for the House to send over a bill. Reed indi cated his committee may get around to hearings in March.
