Plan For Parental
Education Popular

Wichita Kan, Feb. 1-(AP)--A plan
for parental education in Wichita, has
gained the attention of the American
Federation of Women's Clubs and the
National Congress of Mothers and
Parent-Teachers' Associations.
It's chief feature is the correlation of
the work of all civic. judicial. educa-
tional and correctional agencies for the
purpose of giving parents training in
bringing up their children and meet
ing the pressing, new problems born of
teh new and modern social order.
In a sense. the courses taken by the
student-parents constitute preventa-
tive medicine for moral ills.
The civic clubs the Y. M. and Y. w.
c. AS. womens clubs, the juvenile
court, churches, welfare organizations
and the police department are CO.
operating in the movement The work
is in charge of parental education
committee"
Parental classes. held in four school
buildings in different parts of the
city four times a week, constitute one
department of the work. The teachers
for the classes are specialists The
physical as well as the moral and men,
tai sides of child-training is stressed.
Once week a local newspaper de-
votes space to answering questions
propounded by parents of growing boys
and girls. The department is conduct
ed by Mrs. T. G. Klepper, mother of
six children.

Opposition Starts ,.
| Attack on Provisions
lOf Tax Slash Measure

Washington, Feb. l.-(AP)--The
program of senate leaders for speed
ing up consideration of the tax re-
duction bin was jolted as opponents
launched attacks on several proVl-
Sions. WI; =
At the close of the session, which
was devoted entirely to debate, and
during which less than 20 members
were on the floor most of the time,
a proposal to meet an hour earlier
tomorrow was blocked by Senators
Couzens. Republican, Michigan, and
Norris, Republican, Nebraska.
Reiterating that he desired to dis
cuss freely some items of the bill,
Senator Norris warned leaders you
aren't going to make any progress
If you start the steam roller"
Thesassault on the bill today twice
conferred on Secretary Mellon. Sem
ator Norris charged that banking
firms in which the secretary had
been interested were allowed liber-
ties under the consolidated returns
provisions of the law despite contra
ry findings by treasury investiga-
tor.
Senator Couzens who engaged in
a dispute two years ago with Mr..
Mellon whether high surtaXes drove
capital into tax exempt securities,
told the senate today that figures COL
lected by the special committee
which Invested the internal revenue
bureau under his Craftsmanship def
nitely "dispel the fallacy of that ar
gument"
Urging repeal of the provision al
lowing consolidated returns by affil-
, lated corporations, Senator Couzens
declared it permitted -injustices. 1t
had been used. he said. by owners of
the Philadelphia Public Ledger and
of the Saturday Evening Post to Off
set the profits of the latter by the
''losses" of the former.
Reading from the report of the
Couzens committee, Senator Norris
said it showed that four Pittsburgh
banking firms in which Secretary
> Mellon was interested had filed con-
solidated returns although one treas
ury investigator had ruled it was not
legal. A saving of S91 900 in, taxes
resulted for the banks, he said.
Senator Reed, Republican. Penn
sylvania, was said he was director
!, in the institutions, replied that
this instance afforded a perfect
sample" of what the law intended
by it's provisions for consolidated re-
turns and added he did not know it
ever had been questioned.
Regardless of the right of this
particular proposition" Senator Nor
ris commended, 'it shows we must
have more of the sunlight of pub
! licity on these secret proceedings in
the treasury"
Voicing opposition to repearof the
inheritance tax and of the income
tax publicity provision, Senator King,
Democrat, Utah, urged a total re-
duction of $500. 100000 and intro
duced an amendment to Increase the
maximum surtax rate to % percent
to apply on incomes over S500,OOO,
