ishing as it seems, George Burns
and Oracle Allen soon will own
their own home and their own

their lives. They never even rented
a house before the one they are

got into the big money class.

bring them up in apartments"
So Oracle and George went au.

~ The laurel goes to Treasury
Secretary Morgenthau.
1t is not yet clear why, but the
revenue director of the New Deal has
tenaciously neglected to appear before
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee on the tax bill. He is the first
Treasury Secretary IN history who has
failed to testify about an administra-
ton tax program.
The official excuse is that he has
been suffering from la grippe. Some
of his pals say he calls it ia belle
grippe" 1t appears to be a peculiar
kind which fluctuates widely from
hour to hour. For instance, the other
morning an announcement was
issued by the Treasury calling of his
press conference. But two hours later
his announcer advised few friendly
newsmen to drop in at the accus-
toned press conference hour. for q
tete-a-tete press conference. Later
that day he intended to leave for Sea
Island. Ga. in the midst Of the con-
gressional tax dispute, to fight his
fluctuating grippe with rod and

Congressional tax drafters agreed
Tentatively" today to leave banks and
insurance companies out of a proposed
new levy on undistributed corporate
earnings and to keep them under a
modified form Of present corporation
taxes.
Chairman Hill said a House Ways
and Means Subcommittee had dis
cussed repeating excess profits and
capital stock taxes from all corpora
tions, but letting a is per cent tax
on net income continue to affect banks
and insurance companies. For all
other corporations. the income tax also
would be repealed
President Roosevelt suggested that
$500 900, 900 additional Federal rev.
enue be obtained through taxes on
undistributed corporate profits and on
corporation dividends and $517 ,000, 900

HIGHWAY BRIDGE
J0LTED BY DEBRIS
Spectators Flee in Fright
as Floating Span Jars
Structure.

A rampaging 100-foot bridge span
torn from its foundations somewhere
far up the Potomac River, crashed
into the Highway Bridge early today
jolting that structure so severely that
spectators fed for their lives.
The whole bridge shook and lights
all along Fourteenth street were put
out temporarily.
The heavy span, preceded by q
bungalow and a small boat, clung
to the bridge piling for nearly two
hours after it struck and then was
wrenched away by the swirling waters
with another roar. It later was seen
still preceded by the house and boat
further down the river below the
railroad bridge.
According to Joseph L. Smith, officer
on duty at the bridge, the wood and
metal span struck the bridge at about
l am. and was swirled away shortly
after 2;30 am. A Star reporter, among
the spectators on the bridge at the
time, thought part Of the bridge was
being washed away.
This was only one Of the hundreds
Of oddities observed floating down the
turgid river in the early hours of the
morning.
The debris included houses, boats
Of ali descriptions. trees, logs. matted
grass and roots in huge cakes OF drift
ing mats. A reporter standing on
Arlington Memorial Bridge counted q
barrels within 10 minutes.
Also seen in the murky water was
a pig, two chickens and a brindle COW,
her horns sticking up grotesquely as
she was whisked by the bridge abut-
ments.
Several expensive boats we're seer
floating down toward Chesapeake Bay
one Of them lodged under the Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge and three were
hung up on the Highway Bridge at
one time.
Big House Floats BY.
One of the biggest houses to fioat
down stream floated under the Airing.
ton Memorial Bridge shortly before II
o'clock. 1t was apparently a two OF
three story house. sunk deep in the
water. but still projecting consider
able distance above.
Owing to the fact that the food
waters were virtually UP to the floor
of Chain Bridge. the house must have
broken loose somewhere downstream
from Chain Bridge. Many small
boats came to grief against the big
stone abutments of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge. Some were bat
tered and whirled around to float
downstream.
Several owners in Georgetown were
bemoaning the loss of their boats to-
day and had no idea If they would
ever recover what was left of them.
The debris coming down on the crest
OF the food increased in size, If not
in quantity, toward noon. Whole
trees, roots, branches and all, and
huge platforms went by. There were
a number of small houses and sheds
Of all description, many of them nc
doubt Summer cottages washed from
their location along the lowlands OF
the river.
Evening star., 1936-03-19

Note-The Secretary'S elusiveneSS
has given rise to erroneous rumors
that he is against the presidential tax
program. He is very strong for it.
What seems to have generated that
weak feeling in his chest is the pros
pect that a congressional appearance
would permit Republicans to go after
him hard. He does not enjoy political
debates.
Authors Wary, Too.
House writers of the bill have been
equally evasive. They are doing all
they can to avoid publicity.
At one time members of the sub
committee suddenly stopped giving out
information about what they were
doing They said that Chairman
Doughton had issued instructions to
that effect.
Newsmen went after Doughton. He
denied giving such an order. But even
then his subcommittee members de-
clined to believe 1t, and continued to
keep silent. 1t was not until news
men forced Doughton to explain in the
presence of two subcommittee men,
bers that they loosened up little. but
not much.
The significant thing behind all
this seems to be that they Uould
all like to pass the tar bill tcithout
any one finding out about it. That
being impossible, they are agreed
on the strategy OF attracting as
little public attention to it as pos
sible. That explains iUhy the sub
feet thus far has aroused so little
interest. This is campaign year.
Even the frozen faces of Supreme
Court justices cracked the other day
when they heard New Deal lawyer
denounce the New Deals legal position
on N. r. A. more bitterly than they
did.
Dickinson Tears Loose.
Able Assistant Attorney General
Dickinson was arguing the difficult
Guffey case. He pointed out voluntar-
lily that the Government had con-

paid poultry slaughter house employe
in New York affected interstate COM
merce. Then he proceeded to aSsail
that position with even more vehe-
mence than the court used in the
Schechter N. R. A. decision.
Times have changed since President
Roosevelt asserted the Schechter de-
cision recalled horse-and-buggy days.
Also, since a few weeks ago, some New
Deal congressman we're still contend
ing that the court decision was polit-
ical, not legal.
1t affords good insight into the
current situation OF constitutional
amendments pending in Congress.
Initial rage has passed. NeD Deal
legdltties are trying to be practical.
cutting their suits to fit court cloth.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Dear Chester" let
ter to A. A. A. Administrator Davis
made it appear that the New Deal Is
going to bank heavily on reopening
world markets. The secret Of it was he
did not say when.
Men who know that situation have
no doubt that Mr.. Davis will look into
the world market situation while rest
ing abroad. He will probably comb 1t
on the sunny beach at Cannes. The
general impression teven among GER
tain New Dealers), however, is that
Mr.. Davis will become an old man
abroad if he is going to wait around
for something big to be worked out
along that line.
