Weaker Side
We are the weaker side and

us at times with weakness and at
other times as having suffered de-.

AN AIDE CAMP
OFFERS A
WORD

All screen stars are seen by
: the public through the eyes OF
romance. but the view of the
assistant director is often very
different. He sees in them
nothing but work, very often
and they see him as a being
more to be endured than any.
thing else. That Is, sometimes.
Marion Davies is the excep-
ton that proves the rule, says
III. B. Boswell, assistant director
of Beverly OF Graustark, now
at Loew's Columbia. she II
more than a., great star. With 1t
an, she Is a human being.
'.It's not often star-as big
a star as Miss Davies--will take
the trouble to inquire after
sick electrician whose absence she
noted one day. It's not every
star who is always ready, when
she sees that director is Mor-.
ried. to whisper to the cast that
they must be specially on their
toes today-and give the director
extra co-operation-and perhaps
kid him out OF his mood.
Marion Davies looks on pic
lures as q work of the whole or
ganization and even though she
is the central part Of the or
ganizati0n she is always letting
OF the machine-all putting our
shoulder TO the wheel. She gives
US more than announcements
she gives us cooperation.
Marion Davies is unusual IN
this--she is a beautiful woman
who has the talent Of q great
organizer. She doesn't just learn
a 8rOle and act it-she learns
every detail Of the making of the
production. and she is always on
the alert to keep the wheels OF
progress running smoothly And
she has a big human sym
pathy that everybody appreciates.
Even the most hard boiled Of us
are Humankind even in the stress
of a big production we can't
help feeling that human touch
that makes system all the more
efficient
Sydney Franklin who directed
Miss Davies in the new Cosno
poiitan production, noticed. the.
first day, the spirit that prevailed
as soon as Miss Davies arrived
on the set at the Metro-G oldWyn
Mayer Studio.

were all d big happy family And

SALARY RAISES
flakes

Belief that decision by the
Board OF Tax Appeals will result
in the Government exerting a
strong influence over salaries paid
by corporations to their officials,
was expressed by Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau experts today.
The decision. rendered in the
case of the Uniola Real Estate
Company. of New Orleans, estab-
lished the broad principle that a
company may deduct a reason
able" sum from it's income tax
return for the compensation of
officials.
At the same time II vents SO
far as to set $12 900 as a reason
able" deduction for the salary of
the Uniola company's president,
although he actually received only
$4,000
1.-THE question for oar determi-
nation is not what the corpora
ton authorized to be paid to its
president, or what amount was
actually paid him.. but what is the
reasonable compensation which
the law authorizes as a deduc-
ton" the decision stated.
In some quarters the belief was
expressed that the decision
amounts to price fixing" for per
sonal services.
No effort has ever been made
by the Government before to in
wade the field of private business
with such regulations. it was
stated. unless an exception be
made OF the wartime regulations
under which w. G. McAdoo, as
director general of railroads. set
maximum salaries for railroad
presidents.

The two-year battle between
Senator Smith w. Brookhart. In
surgent Republican, and Daniel F.
Steck, Cd for Iowa's junior
senatorial seat will end with the
Senate seating Brookhart, it be-
came apparent today, unless a
political miracle halts the swing
Of sentiment toward the Insur-
gent.

ate today revealed 20 Senators
friendly to Brookhart, % favor
able to Steck's claim, 10 undecided
and 5, including absentees, not

close Of the first days debate. in
which Senator Caraway D.) of Ar
kansas presented the Election Com
mittee's 30 to II majority report,
which recommended the seating of
Steck by a plurality Of 1,42O votes.
Caraway was constantly interrupted
during his explanation and the
questions Of Senators. particularly
Republicans, indicated they did not
agree with the committees major
ify conclusions.
The Iowa insurgents gains, came
from Endorsements Of the minority
report. filed by Senator Stephens
Cd OF Mississippi, which declared
Brookhart entitled to his seat by
. plurality OF f.032 votes. This
conclusion was Endorsed by such
conservative Republicans as Senator
Curtis OF Kansas, the Republican
floor leader; Senator Reed of Penn
sylyania. an Administration spoke3-
man. ard Senator Bingham Of Con-
necticut, a conservative leader.
Following their private indorse-
ment Of Brookhart's case, the ele-
ment Of Republican party fac
tional fight was removed from the
contest as Senators Ernst tR.) of
Kentucky and Watson fR.l Of In
diana had helped Caraway prepare
his report.
