Vets Want Veterans
Housing Corp.
% WASHINGTON, <>P) — A plea
for an end to "back scratching
and pork-barrelling” in building
homes for veterans was made yes
terday by national commander
James F. O’Neill of the American
Legion.
He and Walter E. Alessandroni of
Philadelphia, chairman of ttye Le
gion’s national J^ousing committee,
filed statements with the House
veterans committee in behalf of a
bill to authorize creation of non
profit associations by veterans to
build and buy low-cost housing.
The bill, sponsored by the Le
gion and introduced by more than
20 members of Congress, would
permit incorporations of groups to
be called “Veterans’ Homestead,
; Associations.” They could finance
housing projects by sale of gov- i
ernment-guaranteed bonds paying
tax-free interest.

Elizabeth will be taxed on one
tenth of her annuity — 4,000
pounds <$16,000)—and Philip on
one fifth of his—2,000 pounds
($8,000). The average Briton in
this income bracket pays roughly
nine shillings ($1.80) for each
pound income, but inasmuch as
the rates vary under different con
ditions the exact taxes to be paid
i by the royal couple remained un
certain pending an official an
nouncement.
