OUCH an exciting season of striking
- crisp white neckwear as Is this !!
Seems as II most Of spring and sum-
mer costume interest Is centering
about neckwear treatments. 1t really
Is not overstating the matter to say
that frilly, frivolous and altogether
fascinating details at ne klines,
sleeves, shoulders and wrists are just
about to .steal the show"
That oft-repeated theme of black
and-white comes TO us for spring In
terms of chic black frocks which are
lavishly enlvened with the most be-
quilting crisp white neckwear fancy
can picture. For that matter. wheth-
err the dress be one of the new black
or dark blue crepes or swanky thin
pastel wooden, or a print done In the
new bizarre coloring. the first thing
to strike one about 1t Is almost sure
to be the feminine frilly white neck
wear which adorns 1t.
Az TO the materials for these all
important neckwear items they In
clude most everything from tailored
nIques. taffetas and washable crepes to
sheerest of transparent mousselnps
and organizes. And there's lace
Don't forget lace, for any amount Of
pretty lace fixings are In promise,
ranging from Irish crochet and all
over patternlngs to daintiest vaen-
ciennes
Possibly 1t Is the friily little sheer
pleatlngs which are assigned the lead
Ing role In this play of neckwear. Any.

SEEN and HEARD
around the
National Capital
BY CARTER FIELD

Washington.-Seyen dollars a gallen
tax on imported liquor is entirely too
much for variety of reasons, In the
opinion of President Roosevelt, d.
rector of the Budget Lewis Douglas,
and officials Of the Federal Alcohol
Control administration.
Five dollars gallon duty, plus
s1.10 a gallon excise tax, was all right
for imported liquor during prohibition.
There was some point from many an
giles, in keeping the art OF distilling
American whisky alive, even to the
small extent-during the early stages
of providing supply of medicinal
liquor.
So the five-doilar differential given
American whisky was approved very
generally especially as the medical
profession has always seemed to pre-
fer recommending rye or bourbon
whisky for medicinal purposes as
against Scotch or rum. True, brandy
was regarded as almost a specific for
certain emergencies, but the amount
OF red liquor" prescribed as against
the amount of Scotch was overwhelm-
Ing and doctors simply did not pre-
scribe rum In the old days.
But the question now is not that OF
protecting an industry which 1t was
feared might die. Far from 1t The
problem now is to prevent that In
dustry from gouging the public. Even
worse. the problem is to prevent that
industry from foisting Impure. improp-
erly blended, and positively deleterious
liquor ON a thirsty public.
Aside entirely from the greed Of the
liquor industry, there Is the situation
that there simply Is not an adequate
supply of properly aged whisky. 1t Is
very doubtful II there Is even enough
to make proper blends, so greatly has
the supply of aged liquor been de-
pleted by present demand, following
a period OF months when there was no
restriction on drug store sales what
ever
Which Is the present emergency that
is being studied by the President and
the FACA. Already bars have been
let down on quotas 30 that all the
American types OF whisky desired can
be brought In. True, even these have
to pay the ST gallon tax, but at least
they are permitted to come In without
quota restrictions.

What might be termed an anti-Mor-
ganthau movement Is growing among
some of the staunchest supporters of
the President They are worried about
the possibilities OF so much power be-
Ing conhded to the hands OF one man.
They first began to worry when,
despite a hard fight on the part of a
minority In congress, the President had
his way In giving Morsanthau exclu-
sive control OF the s2,0O0000,OOO equal
ization fund Not only is there the
terrific power which the use Of $1,000
100000 provides, but there Is the addl-
tional fact that there need be no ac-
counting for the fund for several
years. and there is considerable doubt
as to how much detail will be dis
closed even In that belated audit.
The second worry came when 1t be-
came evident that Mr.. Morganthau In
dicatcd he intended virtually to take
over and run the bureau of internal
revenue.
This last may seem strange to those
who have never actually inquired into
the line OF authority In the bureau.
But the fact Is that the bureau has to
all intents and purposes been sep
arate barony In the Washington struc-
ture. There has seldom been contact
of any Importance between the score
tary OF the treasury and his commits
mioner OF internal revenue. In fact
less than between the secretary OF the
treasury and any one OF two score
other officials not In the Treasury de-
partment.
In all the years OF Its operation
there has never been major scandal

In the bureau of internal revenue, and
there is not one branch Of the entire
government where the possibilities or
graft, corrupt influence from political
sources and various forms of stealing
reach into such magnificent figures.

the corporation or individual involved
to slip some one $1,O00,0OO. Frequent

Actually, of course, this quota re-
striction. valuable as 1t has been from
other standpoints In getting trade adj
vantages for American exports. has
been an important link In the chain
holding down importations of liquor,
thus disappointing the treasury and
budget expectations as to that source.
The next move, there Is excellent
ground for believing, is that the PresI-
dent will ask congress to permit
drastic reductions In Import duties. So
far there has been delay, for the rea-
son that the administration was not
sure 1t wanted to risk battle In con-
gress over this quota business.
What the President really wants Is
power from congress to negotiate all
sorts OF reciprocity treaties with for
eign nations, virtually barter Of our
goods for theirs. But he wants this
power with no such string as that
each treaty must be confirmed by the
senate. He wants the treaty effective

dent and the foreign country involved.
There Is a grave question of whether
constitutionally the President could be
granted power to reduce duties In ia
vor of special nations. Certainly such
an arrangement would play hob with
the most favored nation" clause Of
many OF our treaties. But Ii congress
would reduce the duty on all imported
liquor to reasonable figure, say s. a
gallon, the figure originally desired by
Budget Director Douglas, then the
President could decide. with the
quota system, which foreign ma
tons could take advantage Of the
reduced duty Which Of course would
be the nations agreeing to take pro-
portionate amount of American ex-
ports.
