SEEKS PUBLICITY FOR
INCOME TAX PAYMENTS
NOrbeck Measure Would Lift Veil of
Secrecy on Large Returns

NOrDeck Measure would Lit ven OF
Secrecy on Large Returns
By Scripps- Howdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Great
corporations and wealthy individuals
suspected of tax evasion no longer
will be able to hide behind the veil
of secrecy thrown around income
tax payments by the present law,
if a new bill introduced by Chair
man Peter Norbeck of the senate
committee on banking and currency
is enacted.
The Norbeck proposal, drafted as
result of the disclosures ELECTED
by the stock market investigation by
his committee, would make income,
war profits and excess profits tax re-
turns accessible to the public.
THE stock market inquiry has
convinced me-" said Senator Nor
beck" that unless income taxes are
subjected to the fullest publicity,
many of the big ones will continue
to escape their just share of in
come taxation"

BT BRUCE CATION

TINE romantic outlook on life is
a a tragic mistake in a scientific
era. Follow it and it will lead you
either to disaster or to futility.
That seems to be what H. G.
Wells is trying to say in his new
novel, The Burlington OF Blup"
This book deals with an English
lad, born along toward the close of
the last century. His name, by the
way, is Burlington, and he is
dreamy, romantic youth, with his
eyes focused on the figure he cuts
in romantic dream-world.
That figure he names, privately,
the Burlington of Blup-Blup being
the name he has invented for his
enchanted cloud kingdom. and even
after he grows up, he CLOSES over
his imperfectionS in actual life by
guiding the Burlington Of Blup
through imaginary adventures of
magnificence and glamour.
AS foilS for the Burlington, there
are two friends, a brother and sis
ter, children of a scientist. They
grow up with the scientific outlook
Where he evadeS harsh facts. they
accept them and hunt for more.
He escapes from the real world, they
plunge into it with clear-eyed
avidity.
And presently he comes to grief
The war comes and he is a shirker
and an arrant coward After the
war, he is literary poseur, a YER
bose faker.
His friends go on to real accom-
plishment, he sinks into a state in
which his romantic illusions blind
him to his own shortcomings.
In the end. he is a sort of upper
class Major Hoople. persuading him
self that his dreams are real, for
getting his failures. Dragging of his
make-b believe adventures.
Published by Macmillan, this book
sells for $3.50.

FLExIBILITY IN THE DOLLARS GOLD CONTENT
BY RAIDER WINGET
tHy Aas0ciated TRessl

ttBy AasOeiated PReasD
NEW YORK, October 81.
Theories of currency con-
troll as advocated by Prof. G.
F. Warren apparently have
been utilized in important
parts in creating the new
government monetary policy.
The Cornell University professor
who is member of the Roosevelt
brain trust proposed the theories
as a sterilization factor.
Under the Roosevelt plan, stab
ilization is sought in one phase
through the fixing of the price of
gold in domestic markets.
Aims AT Price Stability
Professor Warren has pointed
to proposal for managed cur
rency to be controlled by central
banks in such a way as to keep
the average Of commodity prices
stable.
The Reconstruction Finance
corporation, under the Roosevelt
plan, could be compared to con-
troll bank which manages the cur
rency through gold price estab-
lishment.
Professor Warren's compensat-
ed dollar plan was proposal to
establish by law a currency re-
deemable in gold, but the weight
of the gold for which the dollar
would exchange would vary with
the index number of wholesale
prices of all commodities.
Compensation Planned
AS he explained it, if prices rose
! per cent, the weight of gold for
which the dollar would exchange
would rise 1 percent. and the
same in reverse would follow.
"This would keep the dollar
stable in buying power for the
average Of all commodities" he
said.
The dollar has to be rubber, he
contended either as to weight or
as to value; il cannot have a fixed
value.
"This proposal would give it a
fixed value and a rubber weight
I. "A scientific money is one with
constant buying power for all
commodities rather than q fixed
weight of one commodity" he said.
Fixing The Gold Price
Under the Roosevelt plan the
dollar price Of gold will be fixed
from time to time by the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation aft
err consultation with the president
and the secretary of the treasury.
In effect this would mean the
dollar weight in relation to gold
will be changed as conditions in
domestic markets warrant.
Warren Favors Plan
Professor Warren said, "Our
whole tax and debt structure rests
on commodity prices. If this
structure is to be kept sound either
for the creditor or the debtor. it
is commodity prices that need to
be kept stable, not the weight of
gold for which q dollar will ex-
change"
He viewed price sterilization as
a mass action. "Stabilizing the
commodity price level does not
mean that any single commodity
will be free from fluctuations in
price due to the supply Of it or
the demand for It." he said.
cit does mean that commodity
prices as whole may be freed
from being swept up or down as a
mass due either to world supply
of gold or frantic changes in the
demands for II"

was believed to have a sister
living in Freeport, Long Island.
Arraigned Tomorrow
Edwards has refused to tell Of
the woman's death. He will be
arraigned at an examining trial
tomorrow afternoon.
The death plunge was wit
messed by w. E. Ellis, a night

ing lot.
He saw man and woman

the woman cry:
ooh, my nOse!"
He continued:
II saw her coming out Of
Che window backwards. She
screamed:
"'Oh, I'm dying!'"
Details gathered by police from
several persons in the hotel indi-
Gated that the woman had left
once and returned.
In Lobby at 4 A. Nj.
At a. m. the night clerk saw
her in the lobby. At 4:2O, a
guest in an adjoining room
heard a pounding on Edwards
door and woman's voice cry
ing:
Darling, darling, let me i'm"
The man answered:
"GO away"
At about that time, Edwards
phoned the assistant night clerk
to come clean up the room.
When the clerk got to the door
he heard a man and a woman
quarreling. He went back to the
first floor, got the house officer
and returned. The clerk said:
"When we reached the door,
/ heard q woman scream, I
can't BREATHE Finally we got
the door open and Edwards
said, as we walked in, She
went out the window Then he
crawled in his bed and pulled
the sheet up over him."

POLICE Phones
SPEEDED Up

New equipment for the COM
munication system of the Police
Department began to function
early today.
A telephone switchboard of the
latest design, equipped with %
trunk lines to the telephone COM
pany's downtown central office
and connected with more than 80
police phones throughout the city
was put in use.
Approximately 5000 calls are
handled daily oveg the police
switchboard, many Of them of
such nature that the time ele-
ment is vital.
The short-wave radio system and
the police teletype have also been
changed.
The radio broadcasting room
has been moved from an upper
floor of the police headquarters
building to a room adjoining the
telephone switchboard room so
that broadcasts Of messages re-
ceived by telephone may be sent
out with as little delay as possible.
