agreed To an amicahle separation.
Mrs. Colby sailed last night for

OXley.

flight, stopping. however, in the

manded the lieutenant.
The hose was aimed into the bushes.
Out flew the birds and back into their
former roost in the sycamore trees.
Disguised the tiremen rolled UP their
hose and gave up their initial battle
with tie feathered pests as a bad job.
But the campaign isn't over yet.

Fire Department on its hird-fighting
activities, Commissioner Fenning eX-
pressed belief today that the weather,
and not the birds, won the first bat
tie At the time of the attack a mix
ture of snow and rain was falling,
and this may have led the birds to

the new income tax forms, process
that takes several weeks.
Senator Couzens' attack on the In
ternaI Revenue Bureau was intended
to coincide with the framing of new
provisions Of the law so as 10 avoid
some of the irregularities charged by
the investigating committee. The
whole burden of the Michigan Sena-
tors attack is that large corpora
tions are treated with greater con-
sidera ton than they should be. This
involves for the most part question
of discretion or judgment by indi-
vidual officials. The law can hardly
correct the personal equation. I'm
doubtedly there has been good deal
If criticism on the way tax settle
ments have been made, but business
men also have contended that there
has been a good deal OF arbitrariness
on the part of the Government. The
mere fact that a refund has been
given a large corporation does not
mean that some official has been In
fluenced TO do that by an improper
method.
Congress would take cognizance Of
the controversy If it were not so
