DELAY ORDERED
To PERMIT
INQUIRY
Committee of Seven to Probe
War Profits During Summer
Recess of Upper House
Rx Intsrnntional News ser1ice

ny International News Service
The Senate decided today to
defer consideration of the La Fol-
lette amendment imposing high
Federal taxes on war profits and
voted q resolution authorizing a
committee Of seven members to
study the financial set-upS Of the
various companies manufacturing
munitions and other implements
Of war.
The committee, which will con-
duct its investigation during the
summer recess, also will file a re-
port on the war profits amend
ment.
Names Are Sought
Subjects to be covered by the
inquiry include the extent Of ex-
ports and imports Of munitions
and war implements and the iden-
tity Of the importing and export
ing countries; the sales methods
Of the manufacturers and such
organizations interested in the in
ternational traffic Of arms; the
advisability of creating a Govern
ment monopoly over the industry.
The resolution was offered by
Senators Nye (R.), North Dakota,
and Vandenberg (R), Michigan.
Battles over income tax public
ity and possibly over abolishing
the exemption Of Government Sc
curities from Federal taxation
must still be settled.
The Progressive bloc demanded
publicity, but opposed making
Government securities subject to
taxation.
War On Corporation
The ProgressiveS literally re-
wrote the bill in the Senate. They
over-rode the Democratic leader
ship time and again, once even
defying President Roosevelt.
Their whole campaign was to
impose higher taxes on the rich
and to. exact higher levies from
giant corporations.
The House proposed a $263, ,000,-
600 increase in Federal taxes. The
Senate Finance Committee recon-
mended q $3.50, ,000, 900 bill. The
Senate added approximately $17O,-
100000 to this total.
The Senate's final draft, how
ever, dealt generously with the
little fellow, while soaking the
rich" and giant corporations. With
all the Senate INCREASE, taxpay-
payers with incomes Of $4,000 and
less will pay less income tax
next year than m the present
year.
Will Garry Burden
Persons with incomes. above
$4,000, however, will carry the
burden Of the increase, along
with corporations.
The Senate increases over
House rates and existing law fol-
low:

Random Notes

A resident of Company Street sent US
a suggestion which is timely. He Says
that he and others would like TO install
modern toilets and that before putting
the asphalt surface on the stree the
sewerage pipes should DE laid. We do
not know if it is the intention of the
Government to extend the pipe lines to
Company Street. Ike sewerage system
is an improvement long promised this
community and therefore the pipes were
laid in King Street before the Street
was paved.
The Government.can find the little
extra money for this work if the in
inclination to do it is there.
The time will come when the reve-
nues from the sale of liq1or Will enaoie
us to carry forward the improvements
now begun and to make all St. Cfoix a
paradise.

Ben Blue Will
Seek Act

Ben Blue, the Washington boy
who made good in a big way as
a comedian in the movies as
we'll as the stage, returns to
Washington starting Friday for
a week Of appearance on the
stage of Loew's Fox, with a big
idea to find some sort of act in
this city which will fit into his
vaudeville presentation.
Ben Blue, during the course of
a telephone conversation from
Baltimore, where he is currently
playing, declared that he knows
there is someone in Washington
that will suit his purpose. And
he wants to discover that per
son or persons.
Today, tomorrow and Thursday
additions on various types of
acts will be held at the dance
studios of Joe Brown, 1910 G
st. N. w. It was Joe Brown
that taught Ben Blue his first
dance steps and it is the same
Joe Brown that will look over
anyone's act, will pick the best.
Then on Friday morning at 1920
Ben Blue, upon his arrival in
town, will go to Mr.. Browns
studio and look over the win,

Breokino Mirror Wins Contract
For Blossom F Festival Queen

All her life, whenever she has
wanted a stroke of good fortune,
she has broken a mirror!
Three days ago she stood on
sound stage at the Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer studio prepared to
achieve the realization of every
screen-struck girls dream-she
was to be given a screen test.
Just before the director called
"Camera!" she deliberately shat
tered a looking glass hanging on
the wall! Then, unconcerned
and confident, she took her place
in the set.
That was the story studio folk
were telling yesterday when they
learned that, as a result OF the
test, M-G-M had awarded a term
contract to pretty Mary 10 Mat

Executives said her test showed
talent and promise of ability;
