One of our nurses held a conference

pare simple meals, watch the baby and
tend the i'll mother. Didn't she want
to grow up soon and be school teach

Dicks eyes shone when we told him
he must try and be the man of the

ambition anyway. He well remembered
the young aviation mechanic who had
been killed just few months before by
whirring airplane propeller. So, with
remarkable adaptability, the young
sters gayly began their new duties.
which will last until the mother Is able
to be UP again. They are daily visited
by one of our workers, who gives nurs-
ing care to the mother and leaves

housekeepers
The johnson case is Just one Of the
hundreds of families which received

the year. Besides this one phase OF the

General, maternity. orthopedic, mental

Much health literature has been dis

SPOTLIGHT TURNS
ON NEW TAX PLAN
Program, Differing From
Treasury's, Promised in
House Within Week.

BY the Associated Press.
New and higher taxation, designed to
attain In combination with stringent
economy q balanced budget once again,
becomes this week the issue of para
mount Importance in Congress.
Removal of the Reconstruction Cor
poration from the foreground of the
legislative scene caused concentrated
attention to swing to this question
which will affect directly or indirectly
every pocketbook. and should have 8
vital bearing on the speed with which
economic recovery is obtained.
Plan Promised Soon.
A taxation plan substantially amend
ed from the program offered by the
Treasury, is promised in the House
within q week or so. Even before hear
ings are ended by the Ways and Means
Committee the leaders of the control
ling Democratic side are indicating an
intention to tap rich sources of reve-
nue. left alone by the administration as
alternative to some of the taxes recon-
mended. For instance, electric power
production has been suggested as a
likely field for levies.
The enormous Importance all the
congressional leaders attach to the
other side of the budget balancing pic
ture-Government economy-haS been
revealed meanwhile in striking fashion
through totally unprecedented move
to ascertain in advance the amount of
expenditures which will be voted by
the present Congress. Speaker Garner
and Floor Leader Rainey for the Demo-
Gratis, and Minority leader Smell for the
Republicans, addressed to each COM
mittee letters asking report on the
money bills 1t expected to present.
Money Bills Pile Up.
This action was taken in the face
of pile Of bills introduced running
well above the ten thousand mark, and
calling all totaled for billions Of public
expenditure The letters stated directly
that the aim was to hold off every ex-
penditure not absolutely essential.
The formidable nature of the tax
raising Job was accentuated by the
Treasury's announcement that the
Federal revenue dropped more than a
billion dollars last year. This recapitula--
ton of Government income was issued
while representatives of several indus
tries singled out by the Treasury for
new taxation were doing their utmost
to defeat the proposed levies affecting
themselves, and just as a special COM
n1ittee OF the Chamber of Commerce
of the United State called for curtail-
n1ent of Government expenditure along
radical lines. The chambers board
suggested Immediately to this committee
that it study the possibility of knocking
half a billion off the Federal outlay

testimony probably will include J. j.
Halloran, wealthy Phoenix lumber
dealer, as no indication was given by
Andrews that Halloran would be used
before the State rested its case
The lumber dealer is listed in the

1t was Halloran who, during the in

friendship with all three women in

had been innocent, but perhaps in

Andrews has suggested the motive for
the killing was Mrs. Judds alleged jeal-
ousy over Halloran.
1t is on the testimony of Miss Lucille
Moore that the State hopes largely to
base its contention that the killings
were committed with malice afore-
thought" and that jealousy was the
motive.
Miss Moore, a nurse, was member
