PROPAGANDA

tThs Army does no proselyting."
This was the blunt assertion with
which Col. George A. Lynch, former
chief OF the educational division Of
the War Department today met
criticism directed at methods used
by the Army to attract young men
to the r. o. 4. c." by the American
Federation Of Teachers in Chicago.
The organization, meeting in Chi.
cago, adopted resolution condemn
Ing the establishment Of the R. o.
4. g. units in high schools through.
out the country and asserting the
War Department sought to control
schools and establish a mfIitariStic
spirit. The resolution charged that
the department FUSED pretty girls,
credits, uniforms, saddle horses, etc,
as bait.''
Has Waiting Line
Colonel Lynch asserted the rssolu-
tion must have been adopted as the
result of lack of information" He
declared that no n. D. T. G. units
were established by the War De.
partment In any high school except
at the request of the school, and that
more than 30 applications for such,
units were on file in the department
now.
II don't know what is meant by
the use of pretty girls, uniforms and
saddles as bait" he said. THE de-
partment does not issue any posters
setting forth the advantages Of the
reserve training corps, ana we make
no efforts to have schools establish
units.
Possibly the teachers federation
refers to the custom in many places
Of electing sponsors and honorary
-officers in co-educational institutions
among girls.
THAT is purely local thing. The
War Department has nothing to do
with it, and the unofficial officers
have no official standing. It has
been an old, old custom for various
organizations to have women spon-
sors, honorary officers and suc.l. 1t
is more Of q social matter than any
thing else.
schools Responsible
Similarly, this matter Of credits
lies entirely with the schools where
they are given for reserve officers
training work. The schools give the
credits. not the War Department.
I'VE do not proselyte. 1t il not
part Of our job. There are certain
regulations on the Federal statute
book authorizing the War Depart
ment to furnish equipment to Ger.
tain units which request them, but

out, or was it the other way? Others
were figuring the best way Of
approach.
Some Knew Them
The feminine contingent powdered

about the Mary Pickford smile?
M-m-m-m, maybe Just q little icy
indifference. The masculine array
didn't know whether to be timid
and respectful or slightly domi-
neering.
One by one, they asked for per-
mits-learners licensees, some of
them, others road test.
DO you know the regulations?"
Hinson asked each one.
Some Of the ladies answered with
coy, II think so.'' Others just
said yes. Nobody said no, not even
one colored man who didn't. Much
to his embarrassment, the astute
Hinson guessed he didn't and put
a few questions and the negro to
rout.
As each made out a card, Hinson
said, Have a seat" He motioned
toward the two pen-like contri-
vances both crowded with people
whose expressions were so mourn
full that some of the applicants be-
lieved they were there because they
hadn't seen the cop on the corner.
Many Warnings

some favoritism shown the women,

ner's soul.
Over in one corner, two young
girls huddled over q book Of regu-
lations. In another, a third young
woman calmly read a novel to the
apparent wonder of the nervous.
Another was gazing with hatred in
her eyes at the policeman who gave
her road test some time ago,
and failed to give her a license.
Some looked frightened and tried
not to,
Hinson, meanwhile, struggled on.
He placated the angry, soothed the
nervous, was pleasant to the pleas
ant and unpleasant alike.
A gray-haired woman came up to
the desk. She got her card and
filled it out. she returned. Have
a seat" said Hinson.
Not So Certain
The gray-haired woman took a
seat. A conversation Immediately
ensued with a neighbor, in which it
developed that the woman wasn't
sure of her regulations. 1t was six

WORLDS GREATEST BANK WITH PLANNED
STRONG FORCES
line Up FOR
TAX GUT
By International News Service
Strong forces already are 1t work

ny International News Service
Strong forces already are at work
to bring about tax reduetisn in the
next session Of Congress. with a
present surplus Of sls5, 100000 in
the Treasury and the prospect Of
continued prosperity. 1t was dis
closed here today.
Although President Hoover has
merely said that tax reduction Ii q
possibility. independent advocates Of
tax reduction, rather than speedier
retirement of the public debt have
begun their campaign to secure re-
ductions denied in the tax slash bin
OF 1923.
The chief proposals for tax re.
duction now being made are:
Corporation Aid First
Further cut from IL to 10 per
cent in corporation income tax.
favored by Representative Hawley
fR.l Of Oregon, chairman, Of house
ways and means committee.
Revision OF earned income pro-
visions designed to cut tax of sal
aried workers and professional
classes backed by Independent
forces.
Raising exemption of incomes to
$4,000 annually. strongly supported
by sorne Democratic workers and
business women's organizations.
Repeal Of estate tax, sponsored
by American Taxpayers League.
Along with these proposals legiti.
mate theater interests are prepared
to urge the entire elimination of
the admissions tax. Although the
exemption was raised from IS cents
to So in the last revenue act, pro.
ducers are on record with the dec.
laration that absolute freedom from
such taxes is necessary to help save
drama from extinction.
Earned Income Fight
Other proposals include revision
OF the individual income brackets to
lower the suEtaxes on incomes of
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. This pro.
posal of the Treasury was accepted
by The Senate IN the last bill, but
rejected by the House.
Although the House Ways and
Means Committee investigated the
possibility OF drastic changes in the
earned income provisions in 1923 it
failed to draft relief for these classes.
While Capitol politicians usually
want tax reduction to come just be-
fore a Presidential campaign, It is
pointed out that the Democrats are
planning an Unusually hard fight in
the Congressional elections next
year. A tax reduction bill, it is held.
might offset the gain the Democrats
hope to make by attacking the Ad-
ministration's tariff and farm poll.
