The sums contributed to such a re tirement program would not be sub ject to income tax during the year in which it was paid into the fund but would ‘become taxable at the rates prevailing when the funds mI with drawn after retirement, ac^BHiJr. any of several methods proposed in the. legislation, .r, - V 1: Dr. Jones’ urgument for the legis lation, on behalf of his fellow dentists ti ttu> o •stations he represented, the fact that members ®%»OBt of few -jide retirement be during ps. i s two bills Credit To Wfiom Due Not all of the awards presented at commencement Monday night went to students.
