NEW CORPORATION TAX
ATTACKED BY SLOAN
General Motors Head Says Move
Is Attempt to Curtail
Business.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. July 13-Alfred P.
Sloan, jr.. president Of General Motors
Corp. in a letter to stockholders,
yesterday launched an attack ON the
proposed corporation income tax in
crease.
The question involved to which I
am calling your attention" he wrote,
lis not primarily that the soak the
rich program will or will not provide
the additional revenue needed to sup
port the financial operations of the
Government. but that it is a direct
attempt to curtail. and perhaps even
tually destroy, business bigness' just
because 1t is big, without adequate
consideration and intelligent discus
sion.
Destroying business bigness' or
soaking the rich will not balance
the budget
The amount required Is far too
big. These particular resources are far
too small. Every one must Of neces-
sity, pay, and every one will pay
consciously or not"
Sloan raised the question whether
the rich would really be soaked. and
he declared that Of the 4l5.000 stock
holders in the motors corporation.
10000 represented amounts of 10
shares or less.

"Men Without Names
Stern Feature at Fox
Brutal Drama Builds Up Terrific Suspense in
One Scene-Old Fashioned Brawl Is
PRINCIPAL Act of Stage Show.

limning of nice fellow scared witless.
II is not easy to say anything
pleasant about Leslie Fenton's work
as the gang leader, but it may be
noted the very animosity his mention
inspires is tribute to his skill in
the role. Between them, Mr.. Over
man and Mr.. Fenton build up such
terrific suspense in one scene that we
predict there will be a general mora
torium on heart-beats every time it
is flashed on the Fox screen this
week. Handsome Madge Evans is
the heroine, but heroines don't count
for much in the bullet dramas. David
Jack Holt is cast as her kid brother,
and together they inject a certain
amount Of humanity into the other
wise uncompromising toughness of 1t
all.
The incompal able Frank and Milt
Britton Band headlines the stage show
this week with an old-fashioned brawl
and gag-fest, an ace number in vaude-
vile entertainment. Walter Powell
deserves a special fools cap for his
versatile music-making and buffoon-
cry, while the otnars turn nimble
hands toward wrecking the place.
The program is ably filled out by
Grace Hayes melodies and the radio
razzing which has long been an ac-
ceptable part of her act; the Sylvia
Manon revue, which combines adagio
and singing, and Joe May and Louise
Troxell, who rather lose the honors of

BEGINS THIRD WEEK
Joan Crawford Supreme in A. E.

Thomas gay discussion of marital
affairs by Joan Crawford, Edna Mae

for third F street week.
The people who populate this neat
adaptation of Mr. Thomas merry

very smart that they could not pos

wouldn't live long without a poke in
the nose from some more prosaic in
Never thrilless, mo More Ladies" is
just about tops among the Crawford
Montgomery farces. There is little
more to this play than there was to
"Forsaking All Others" and the story
is backed up by some excellent acting
performances on all sides.
Miss Crawford is gay and dashing.
She wears all sorts of clothes to per-
lection and does her hair on several
different completely devastating pat
terms She is convincing, too, when
the script calls for some definite emot-
ing. It's easy to mark Joan down as

not be adequate), but choosing be-
tween her two present admirers. Bob
Montgomery and Franchot Tone,
should be a pleasant little game for
lady filmgoers. If you do not select
Mr.. Tone it merely will prove again
that the ways of the feminine mind
are completely unfathomable.
Of course, Mr.. Montgomery may be
a very nice chap, too, but, likable as he
is. he plays the role of an absolute heel.
You may be able to look at his charm
ing smile and forgive him for his way
ward wanderings from his fireside. but
he's two-timing Joan Crawford! This
is mutiny, traitorous conduct and
downright heresy.
But you will thoroughly enjoy the
mad antics of the above-named trio
and their supporting henchmen-
principally Edna Mae Oliver. gayest of
grandmothers, and Charlie Ruggles
and his sheep dog. H. NJ.

pumps and her Winter hat.
1t came rather as surprice than
that Marion had insisted that Anne
come home with her in the evening
and spend the week end with her.
Well. Anne reflected, she was glad
she was going and she was glad
she had splurged and bought herself
that new straw hat and that love OF
a red dinner dress. After all. why
shouldn't she go other places and
meet other men?
Not that she wasn't very fond OF
Gene. Anne assured herself, but she
was sick to death of saving her money
and wondering when Gene would
have enough, so they could be def
mite" and plan on really getting mar
ried. Maybe tonight she would meet
some one.
A honk from the same car brought
her reflections to an end. Anne ad-
justed her hat hurriedly, picked up
her bag and ran out.
Marion chartered on bits OF
gossip about mutual friends in school;
who was married and who was going
to be.
by the way, John Marshall's going
to be there tonight a little
later, he said. He's coming for me.
He's bringing a fellow from town for
you, who works in the same office.
I haven't met him yet. John mar
ried? Sure he Is, but his wife'S a
dud. Don't look so shocked, darling.
Anne protested that she wasn't a
bit shocked. Yet she couldn't rid
herself of queer feeling of distaste.
BY the time they reached the house
Anne was excited and anxious once
more.
Anne bathed luxuriously. Oh, for
a wide, warm scented tub like this
every day, instead of her hasty shower
before dashing out to work. She
brushed her hair till it shone, put
on her makeup and slid the new
red velvet over her head reverently.
She did look pretty nice at that "a
spoiled darling rather than a poor
woiking gaP' she nodded gayly
at herself in the mirror; then ran
down stairs.
The room was filled with blue
cigarette smoke; there was the tinkle
of ice in glasses and women's high
voices. Marion introduced Anne all
around and then apparently forgot
her. The man nearest Anne had
been entertaining a group Of people
with his remarks; he turned to her
suddenly.
Say, boys and girls" he said, "look
what we have here"
She couldn't follow the conversa-
ton very well. It seemed to be a
choice bit of scandal about one Of
their contemporaries, for every once
in a while the crowd would guffaw

She gave a sharp exclamation.
Charlie in dancing by a table had

to dry the dress with his handker-

anger and disappointment. Now she'd
have to 60 up and put on her old
