17 STATES FACING PAYROLL TAX LOSS Have Neither Passed Laws N Nor Called Sessions for Legislation. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, December 28.—The American Public Welfare Association reported yesterday that 17 States would not receive their share of the- 1836 pay roll tax on employers under the social security program unless Congress extended the deadline for State legislative enactment beyond December 31. These 17 States, the association re- ported, have neither passed laws nor set special sessions to enact so they ean participate in the program. ‘The act stipulates that an employer will be credited up to 90 per cent of the 1 per cent levied on the 1936 pay roll for any amount he had con- tributed to an unemployment insur- “+ance fund under a State law. John G. Winant, chairman of the Bocial Security Board, was quoted by the association as saying the board would not recommend extension of the time limit to permit the delin- quent States to act, when Congress meets in January. Illionis, which has not acted, “would lose perhaps the most, because of its heavy industrialization,” the group reported. Constitutional difficulties face some States, particularly Missouri and Ken- tucky, the group said. There authori- ties feared social security legislation | would require constitutional amend- | ments. In Arkansas the Legislature does not meet in regular session until January 11. In Delaware a special session was called to meet tomorrow to discuss enactment of legislation. BOY, 10, STRANGLED BY TAIL OF HORSE| Child Believed Victim of Own Prank—No Inquest Will Be Held.

By the Associated Press. BAILEY, Colo., December 28.—The bullet-riddled body of a red-haired gunman was taken yesterday from a | hotel room where he battled four hours against officers who sought to arrest him for wounding a sheriff. A. O. (Nick) Carter, Denver detec- tive, said the gunman, identified as | Ben B. Blair, a former convict, was sprawled on the floor, pierced with 10 bullets, when officers finally battered through his barricade late Saturday night. Eight Denver detectives, Park County officers and deputized towns- men of Bailey, a mountain resort, fired shots and tear gas bombs into the room in an effort to dislodge Blair | after Sheriff Neal Brown had been | wounded. The detective said Blair barricaded a window with a mattress, returned several shots and hurled one of the tear gas bombs back at the attack- ing detectives. | The gunman had remained in the | room for three days and refused, the | sheriff said, all offers of food. | Blair's record, Carter said, showed | he had served sentences in the State prisons of Kansas and Colorado and in reformatories in.

NEW YORK, December 28 (#).— A small biplane which developed en- gine trouble shortly after taking off from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, scored a perfect “touchdown” yester- day” on an adjacent foot ball field. Herbert Freeze, the pilot, who was in the ship with Paul Boren, a stu- dent, picked the athletic field as the only available place to land. The plane swept squarely between the goal posts, which clipped off its wings but prevented it from rolling onto the nearby tracks of the Long Island Railroad, where there was a dangerous third rail. Neither occupant was in- jured.
