MORGAN PROBE
SEVERE BLOW
To TAX BILL
Income Disclosures Menace
Democratic Plan to "Sock
The Little Fellows"
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

BY GEORGE X. HOLMES
The sensational disclosures that
j. P. Morgan and his 10 multi
millionaire partners paid not q
cent in Federal income taxes in
1881 and 1882 and that they paid
only $4,000 over a three-year pc
riod embracing 1930-32 have all
but wrecked the pending tax bill
in this Congress.
To say that Congress is shocked
It's it mildly. The little coterie
of Democratic leaders. mostly rep.
reSenting rural constituencies, who
killed the sales tax year ago,
and who turned it down again in
the pending bill, are floundering
today.
Face Stiff Opposition
They are wondering how they
are going to increase the already
high rates in the intermediate
brackets, as the intended to do, in
the face of the Morgan disclos.
ures, and in the face of a Repub-
lican opposition. which for the
first time in the Seventy-third
Congress seems organized and de-
termined.
Moreover, the country has
begun to speak. Members of Con-
gress have been showered with
telegraphic and mail protests
against increased income tax
leVieS since the rulers of Wall
Street. admitted in the Senate's
banking investigation their escape
of all Federal income taxes at a
time when the little fellow" was
groaning under the highest i'm.
post in peace-time history.
The Morgan disclosures, COM
ing on top the even more sensa.
tional case of Charles E. Mitchell,
who also paid no income tax,
have given an impetus to the
movement for a general manu-
facturers' excise tax such as Con.
greSs has not witnessed before.
Have Backs to Wall
Whether the added impetus will
be sufficient to knock the income
tax increases from the pending
bill and force substitution Of q
general sales tax remains to be
seen. But the Democratic leaders
in the easily-controlled House had
their backs to the wall today, and
it was predicted that even should
they prevail, the Senate will undo
their work and compel the re-
writing of the bill.
1t is believed there has been .
softening Of White House opposi-
ton to general sales tax since
the Morgan disclosures. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who some months
ago was mortified" at the
thought of such tax, is under
stood now to favor it rather
than crush the salaried-class
under the new and heavy rates
proposed by House leaders.
The rates in the new House
bill are jumped from 6 to 8 per
cent on the first $4,000 of net
income, and from 8 to 10 per
cent on the next $4,000. This
would make a man with $4,000
net income pay $3.50 to the
Government-this at time when
j. P. Morgan and his partners,
as we'll as thousands of other
men of great wealth are escaping
payment through the convenient
method of writing off losses
under the capital net gain and
loss provision of existing law.

bring to keep hls opponent rom bidding that suit.
 Generally q prs-emptive bid in ono major Is made to shut out tho other major, therefore Mrs Nell felt that perhaps sine and her partner had q heart bid. However Mrs Nell could not be expected to bid f1ve hearts with only q three-eard heart suit over q four-spade bid.
 She held two strong minor suits. 4 natural overeal1 would be to bid five diamonds--but remember. with her hand she could support hearts. or play the hand at clubs or dia . monds. Mrs Nell now made use of q very fine bid-sho overcalied with four no trump.
 supposing that you held the West cards and this declaration came to you--W0uld you not reason It out in the following manperY
 Certainly partner cannot play q hand at four no trump when tbe South player has stated that all his strength lies in ono suit--and that suit is extremely long. Isn't 1t nas turai to assume that she is asking you to name your best suitY
 In other words, she was afraid to double, fearing that instead Of tak- ing 1t as an informatory double you would interpret 1t as q business double. This overeaiiing of q pre- emptive bid with no trump iB q na- tural bidding convention that was intr0d ucsd last year and Is now generally used in all systems.

 Mrs Neil now knew that her partner held at least four diamonds. She holds six, and even though nc holds only four diamonds to the eight spot 1t would be necessary to find three diamonds to the queen in the South hand in order for her to lose C diamond trick.
 It looked as though the only trick that Mrs Nell had to lgse was q heart. If her partner holds three clubs, the fourth club card can be ruffed in dummy. while # her part ner holds four clubs 1t Is only nae turai to expect the club suit to break. Therefore, Mrs Nell now Did six diamonds.
 The hand Is q spread, as only ono heart trick must be lost.
 After the pre-smptive bid Of four spades by South it Is Indeed rather difIicuit for East and West to get Into q six diamond contract with any other bid than the overcail of four no trump. However. while this overeall of no trump worked very well. Dc sure that you hold the proper type of hand before making thut declaration.

HIGH COfLARED NECKLiNl lcS
 ARE FOR TYPES
SOio5JeS NfX 3fE7EF T1C


 How do you look in the new high -coilared necklines?
 ff you have 0 sdunrish face, with wide cheek -bones, don't let any body get you into ono of the lat- est square neeklines. tt will just make your face look too big for the rest of you.
 There is one exception to this rule. If you have one of those faces that has width at tho eyes and cheekbones and then tapers to q very delicate oval or pear-shap ped chin, then h square neekline may give you distinction. You'il have to try 1t.
 If you have always wished that your neck was longer, wear q col- lar which stands up in tho back and down in front. This gives an illusion of length of neck. So too does tho almost universally bocom- ing V neck and the deeper tho V tho better for you. Have the sides of tho neekline cut close to your neck for this elongates your neck's appearance. Also the very deep rectangular version of neekiinos is good for you but keep tho collar close on the sides.
 If you have a veritable swan's neck. long and slender, topped by a round face, then you will be in your glory in tight little collars that fit snugly and are young and now and cute.
 However, if your face is slender and fragile and your neck long and slender, these collars may make you look scrawny and not attrac- tive. Try those which are tight around the neck but flare out at the sides. They have an innocent. childish look that is delightful. Particularly c blouse with such e collar tlfat goes with q dark suit. Wide cape collars shorten necks. So do fichues. However, if you have afi early American fichu complex and yearn to wear them, you can have them cut slender and long, pointing down to soft V line. Then they will do wonders for your neck.
