The committeemen who talked with the president for more than an hour about the tentative draft of the BLOOD FOUND ON HAMMER AMARILLO. March 28 —<AV Stains on the hammer with which George 6 Hamll is alleged to have slain his wife here January 4. were caused by blood. Jack Wyatt, Ama rillo City chemist, testified Satur day in HamlTs murder trial. Under cross-exam lntlon, Wyatt said it was Impossible to determine whether it was human or animal blood State testimony traced the ham mer from the time witnesses said It was found In the HamHn "honey moon cottage." where the slaying occurred, until it was Introduced In evidence.

They declined to quote the presi dent directly, but sturdy, 71-year-old Chairman Dougbton, obviously pleased, told newspapermen who surrounded him upon his return to Capitol Hill: “We are In agreement I don't look for any substantial changes In the bill as It now stands." He said his oommittee would re . Mime consideration of the bill Mon day "to make sure It Is absolutely all right’’ and have it ready for presentation to the house by April 1—Monday after next. Secretary Perkins had protested frequently at a number of changes . One. made on the recommenda tion of 8ecr«arv Morgenthau. step ped up the tax rate proposed for compulsory, iontributions old age an nuities—which the committee now has classified as "old age benefits.’’ The labor secretary, however, was particularly worried by changes the committee made when it decided that the social Insurance board, which will handle much of the ma chinery set up under the broad plan, should be an independent agency and not under the labor department. Miss Perkins had wanted to have some control over the board, but the committee decided against her. Likewise, she had made a special trip to the capitol to express her opposition to another committee amendment — that exempting from unemployment Insurance taxes em ployers of less than 10 men. In addition. Miss Perkins had op posed Morganthau’s suggestion — which the committee acoepted—that farmers, domestics and casuals should be exempted from the taxes collected for old age annuities. The tax rates imposed will remain unchanged because the president still Is of the opinion that the olA ! age aid and unemployment Insur ance sj’sterns should be self-support ing promptly. The unemployment tax Is 1 per cent on total payrolls beginning January 1. 1936. and increasing 1 per cent a year to 3 per cent. Because state legislatures cannot act Immedi ately. since many already have end ed their sessions for this year, there was some sentiment in the com mittee for postponing the effective date of that initial levy to 1937. But that had by no means been agreed to finally. The committeemen brought away from the white house with them a | definite understanding that the president was opposed to any attempt to split the bill Into separate mea sures. passing them separately.

There is no way to compare it with any other car because there ia no other car like it. The Ford enables you to step up into the fine-car class in performance, beauty, comfort and safety. But there is no stepping up in price. That is kept down by Ford low-profit policies and unique manufacture ing methods. These are as different as the car itself. FROM THE $2000 PRICE CLASS COMES THE V-8 ENGINE TO POWER THE MOST ECONOMI CAL FORD CAR EVER BlTlLT What the Ford has done is to establish a new stand ard of value. Fine-car performance isn't limited to the well-to-do these day<*. The Ford \-8 has made it possible for the average motorist to have the kind of car that used to be beyond his reach. It takes eight cylinders to give modern perform ance. And the Ford is powered by a V-8—the finest type of eight-cylinder engine. You have to pay more than 82000 for that in any other car.
