Government. Including agency Issues guaranteed. All offerings in May were reported at $1,400,000,006, which compares with $10,200,000,000 in April, 1843, when total was boosted by the Government's war loan drive, and with in May, 1942.

Britons paid out 40 cents of every dollar of the national income for taxes in 1942, while Americans paid out 27 cents, according to a comparison of tax-income ratios in the two countries made by the division of industrial economics of the National Industrial Conference Board. If we had paid out as large share of cur national income in taxes as the British did last year our total tax bill would have been Continued from Page 1 CHARGE WOMAN WITH BOOKMAKING Friendly advice was given to Mrs.

Levina M. Kearley, 48, of 1049 Sterling Place, by Magistrate Francis X. Giaccone in the Brooklyn Weekend Court yesterday when he continued her bail of $500 for a hearing in the Flat-bush Court ort Friday on a charge of bookmaking. "With women as Wacs, Waves and welders the trend of the times brings them in as bookmakers, too," said the magistrate. "For your own sake I advise you to get out of the business before you get trampled upon." Mrs.

Kear-ley's counsel entered a plea of innocent in her behalf, asserting she was a corsetiere and not a bookmaker.

For that reason, he argues, it would be a good plan to allow voting at a much earlier age than the required 21 years. To him. such a change would bring about much-needed reforms in our present system of politics. Says Broun Was Religious Father Dowling speaks easily, pausing occasionally to punctuate his remarks with a deep, infectious chuckle. As he warms to his subject he runs stubby fingers through his corn-yellow hair until it points stiffly to the four corners of the room.

A huge man, he lounges back in his swivel chair, coat off, sleeves rolled. Given credit for the conversion of Heywood Broun, noted columnist and supposed agnostic. Father Dowling minimizes the part he played. Broun, he says, was always a religious man, although not externally so. He added that his talk with Broun acted merely as a Broun already had solved the problem in his own mind.

The meeting between the two oc- DEATHS he should bother with some of the other groups. His versatility, he grins, is in "mixing between the groups," not mixing with them. "Walter Pater said 'Art is the absence of all said Father Dowling: "But what a glorious heap of rubbish a man can collect in a lifetime!" curred during the American Newspaper Guild convention here in 1937. Father Dowling is a member of the Guild, as he says, "the only member-at-large in St. Louis." As to the diversity of his organizations, Father Dowling is deeply amused.

The people in some groups, he explains, can't undertand why fam Meniber Broker Served Overseas With U. S. Air Forces Funeral services for MaJ. Albert Wertheim, New York investment banker, who had been on duty with the U. S.

Army Air Forces overseas as commanding officer of the Second Air Service Depot, were to be held at 2:30 p.m. today in Temple Emanu-El, Manhattan. Interment was to be In Mount Hope Cemetery of Temple Israel in Yonkers. He died Saturday night in the Hotel Delmonico, Manhattan. Major Werthelm became 111 several weeks ago and had an operation.

After the end of World War I Major Werthelm became a member of the firm of Werthelm which was founded by his brother, Maurice Werthelm, former publisher of The Nation. Major Wertheim became a member of the New Stock Exchange. Majcr Werthelm's first assignment curing the present war was in the air corps at San Bernardino Air Depot, California, where he won several promotions.

Our taxes amounted to $250 per capita last year. To have matched the British taxpayer's performance of 40 percent of income, we would have had to pay out $375 per capita.

Pyle Mortuary, 1925 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, Tuesday, 8 p.m. Redeemed Bond Totals Expand Estimated at 17 Since First of July The rate of war bond redemptions since July 1, last, when tax payments were placed on a pay-as-you-go basis through the '20 percent withholding at the source, has shown a pickup from the level ol the immediately preceding months, according to the latest Treasury figures.

Total redemptions so far In the 1944 fiscal year starting July 1, as reported in the daily statement of the United States Treasury for Aug. 17, were $224594,000. Of this $138,243,000 took place In July, the first full month of the withholding tax program, and $86351.000 represented redemptions reported so far in August. Sales of war bonds so far this fiscal year amounted to so that redemptions for the similar period were approximataly 17 percent of subscriptions. This ratio is expected to decline by the end of the month becati-e redemptions normally tend to taper off from the abnormally heavy totals in the first week of each month.

Banking sources, prior to July 1, had considered 10 percent as a favorable average ratio of redemptions to current sales, and the ratio had varied very 111-tle from this percentage. However, It is indicated the ratio may have to be revised upward to allow for sales made to offset the withholding tax and the fact that there are considerably more war bonds outstanding today than a few months ago and more than twice the amount outstanding a year ago. As of the end of June there was outstanding $21,256,000,000 of war savings bonds compared with on June 30, 1942. ELY U. S.

(ProvN dene, papers please copy.) In-tro-ducing Ginger, The Pippens' darling daughter, A 3-year-old who sometimes does Some things she hadn't oughter! It's Been a For Father By EMILIE BASEL United Press Staff Correspondent St. Louis, Mo. (U.R Mixing oil and water is an easy trick compared to the variegated activities Father Edward Dowling S. blends into his contented life. At 44.

he sits happily in his office nibbling chocolate bars and commenting keenly, sometimes radically, but accurately on any topic you'd care to discuss. Nominally, he is associate editor of the Queens Work, national Catholic magazine. Actually he combines that with 15 other organizations ranging from the American Political Science Association to Alcoholics Anonymous. His friends call him "Father Eddie." A steady stream of people flows Into his small office for advice, information or simply to let off steam. Father Dowling greets each one with an unaffected enthusiasm.

He dispenses comments and bits of chocolate freely, sending each person away seemingly happier for their brief contact. Factory Worker at IS It's been a busy life for Father Dowling. At 15 he worked during the Summers as a factory laborer and later was a reporter on a St. Louis newspaper. He entered mili tary service in World War I in 1918.

At the conclusion of his service he returned to the newspaper, but only for a hort time, for in 1919 he en tered the Jesuit Order at noris-sant. Mo. i The simplicity of a priest's life i appealed to him. It gave him time i for things other than worrying i about food, clothing or a place to live. It filled his need and completed the pattern of his life.

Father Dowling was ordained to the priesthood in 1931, and two years later joined the staff of the Queen's Work, adding their public relations directorship to his many other activities. Partially crippled by arthritis, he uses his office there i as a focal point from which his interests and influence spread over St. Louis and the nation as well. He has taught and lectured in many 1 cities, principally on political sci- ence and citizenship, for politics are his deep interest. Politics Is Being Nice Politics, he says, are merely mass politeness.

Being nice to people and trying to help them is really small- time politics In everyday life. The world, Father Dowling be- lieves, is steadily improving; each i moment that passes brings one i more step of progress. This improvement goes on, he says, even in wartime, as reforms and changes are speeded up more than In peacetime. People stop growing after they Walter ffi.
