There was considerable sadness
at the Metropolitan Museum of

news that j. P. Morgan, not con-
tent with selling $1,50O,000 worth
of his art works, now plans to
dispose of one Of the greatest
collections in the world of draw
ings by old masters.
Although no official word was
forthcoming, it is said officials
of the museum are disappointed
at the breaking up of the Nor.
gan art collection, as it was
hoped the art works ultimately
would come to the museum by
bequest in the Morgan will.
AS matter of fact the Morgan
wing of the mcIeum is understood
to have been built primarily for
the purpose of holding the famous
paintings, statuary and tapestries
of the collection started by the
elder Morgan.
Two of the six paintings sold

PINK SLIP TAX
BATTLEFACES
SHOWDOWN
Senate, House Leaders Set
To Settle Fate of Repeal
Of Income Measure

A dozen members of the Senate
and House will decide whether
the plan to repeal the publicity
provision of the income tax law
will come to a showdown in this
Congress.
One of the committee-Senator
Robert M. LaFollette Of Wiscon-
sin, leader Of the Progressives-
was the man who sponsored the
publicity clause, which requires
that a pink slip accompany in
come tax returns, telling the total
amount of income of the taxpayer.
While House and Senate lead
ers were trying to sound out senti-
ment on the repeal proposal, the
IL committee members were pre-
pairing to meet this afternoon to
discuss the pink slip law" which
in recent weeks has become the
object of bitter attack in Con-
gress. The attack has been in
tensified with the approach Of
March Is, the deadline for filing
tax returns.
Section 1881 Awaits
While the committee was in.
structed specifically to deal with
the pink slip law, it was thought
its deliberations might embrace
also section 148d of the Revenue
Act of 1884, which calls upon the
Secretary Of the Treasury to sub
NIT to Congress an annual re.
port-which would be public doc
ument-of the salaries paid by
corporations in excess of $4,000
year.
The Senate Finance Committee
decided to name a subcommittee
to meet with the House Ways
and Means Committee to discuss
new legislation. Senator Harri.
son, Of Mississippi, chairman of
the committee, named Senators
Couzens (R0, of Michigan, King
CD, Of Utah, George Cd, of
Georgia, Walsh CD, Of Massa.

Hampshire, and La Toilette (R.),
Of Wisconsin.
Revolt Follows
Under present law pink slips
attached to income tax returns
may be publicly inspected. They
reveal the amount Of income,
the amount of tax, the total ex-
emption and the tax paid.
The provision has led to a
nationwide revolt on the ground
it not only violates the secrecy
to which taxpayers are entitled
but paveS the way for gangsters,
racketeers and blackmailers to
select victims financially able to
meet their demands.

 A new linen that looks exactly like tweed is ideal for summer suits. It comes in a zig-zag dia- mond weave in a variety of shades and until you actually feel the ma terial with your fingers, you would swear that 1t was tweed. A two piece suit of this linen in blue and white has a tailored jacket which is belted only in front. There are two breast pockets as well as two pockets on the front of the jacket,
 The same weave in blue and brown is used for one piece dress that opens all the way down the front and fastens with round wooden buttons. Here again Creed uses the four front pockets. Blue shantung makes cuffs and a vestee which has long streamers and ties in a bow at the back of the neck. This linen, by the way, is a bit stiffer than usual and is uncruch- able, therefore is wonderfully adapted for tailored clothes.
