 Washington, April 11-(UP)-The New Deal, in an effort to alleviate the immediate burden of the pro- posed surplus-tax on buisness is considering asking congress to post pone imposition of social security levies. The proposal, it was learned from a high administration source, to either delay the security tax col lections or revise the schedule for annually increased levies under the program to give security to unem- ployed and the aged, has reached the discussion" stage.
 Suggestion Was Made
 John Gilbert Winant, chairman of the social security board, said "A suggestion of that sort was made probably two months ago, but the board does not have 1t under consid- eration now. Sometime before long we expect to go over all our problems as a whole and 1t is likely that sug- gestion will be included in the dis cussion. However" he added, Tt is only suggestion. There Is nothing thought out about It."
 Discussion of the proposal to tighten the tax burden was empha- sized by recent protests of organ ize dbusiness against the proposed $59l, ,OO0,O corporate undistributed profits tax, keystone of President Roosevelt's program for balancing the ordinary budget.
 Under the social security law more than $228 100000 is due to flow into state and federal treaSurieS after next January 1, for unemploy-

JUSTICE HUGHES
 "A YEARS OF AGE

Washington, April l1.-(UP).- Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes was "A years old today. He planned to take no official-or private notice of the anniversary. He was born the son of a Baptist clergy man at Glenn Falls, N. Y., in 1862. He will be at his desk most of the day. In the afternoon he will jon the rest of the court in conference on cases soon to be decided. In the evening he may be the guest of some function, for Saturday IS his one night out. The "chief" appears to like his outstanding position as the head of the high tribunal which has come into renewed prominence as a result of the array of new deal cases before 1t.
 When named chief justice by President Herbert Hoover, Hughes was opposed by many senate lib- erals as corporation lawyer" Since he has become generally recognized as liberal in matters af- fecting personal liberty, while tend ing to the conservative in economic matters. He wrote the famous Scottsboro opinions, giving new trials to the negro defendants, dis sented in favor of the objectors in the conscientious objectors" cases, gave Tom Mooney the first favor able court opinion he has received, and wrote the dissent in the rail- way retirement act test case. In contrast with the many new deal opinions in which he has voted to condemn laws, he was the author Of the gold clause and IVA opinions, t.e only major administration vic- tories.

JAMES J. DORIAN
 IN BOMB PROBE
Former Local Man, Who Is Post Office Dept. In-
 spectOr, to Investigate

Warnings that parcels similar to those containing bombs which yes- terday took one life and injured four persons seriously in Wilkes Barre, Pa, have been mailed to other parts of the East, have been forwarded to all postofflces in New York and Connecticut by Inspector James J. Doran, @ Waterbury na- tive and now inspector in charge of the New York area of the post office department. Inspector Doran is expected to go to Wilkes-Barre today to take charge.
 As soon as the first reports came in from Pennsylvania yesterday of the toll taken by the bombs, con- cealed in packages that apparently contained cigar boxes, Inspector Doran secured the cooperation of police in broadcasting warnings all over metropolitan New York, and then through other cities and towns in New York and this state. All packages coming in to New York from points near Wilkes-Barre have been ordered turned over to the bomb squad.
 Left Here in 1915
 Inspector Doran left Waterbury to join the postal service as an in- Spector in 1915. He had worked for four years in the local post ofiice before receiving appointment as in- spector. He was promoted numer- ous times during the years and is now in charge of more than 70 in- spectors in and about metropolitan New York.
 The post office department has called on him in the past to carry on a number of special assignments. One memorable experience in his career came when he had Gerald Chapman in for questioning in con- nection with robbery in which mail bonds were stolen. Chapman escaped by climbing out of the win dow while inspectors had him locked in 8 room and crawling along a coping many stories above the street. Chapman was later cap tured and executed for the killing of a New Britain policeman.

Feeling was growing that Great Britain would take independent ac- ton if the League of Nations failed to adopt new penalties. There was no hope, apparently, that an early peace could be attained on terms satisfactory to Italy, Britain, the league and Ethiopia.
 The continued presence of more than 500,0O0 tons of British warships in the Mediterranean convinced Italians that Britain meant to seek an opportune m,oment to prevent Italy from realizing its colonial as- pirations" as they are called.
 Now that the Italian armies are nearing their goals in Ethiopia. foreign diplomats believed that Britain would act independently, if necessary, or undergo the humilia- ton of seeing Italy attain its ends despite league penalties and Brit ish opposition
 Most Italialls, including govern- ment officials, refused to believe that Britain was going to fight Italy. But the general staff was taking no chances, and the air and naval fleets were ready for any sudden development. The military

Well Desiqned

Among the most forward
thinking designers are those
who cut the models for our
corSets. They must be months
ahead of the mode, far enough
ahead to know what lines will
be. so that they can get our
figures ready for the clothes.
Spring girdles and one-piece
garments are we'll up on the
mode. There are even high.built
types that will give us figure
suitable for the directoire line.
Wasp waists are necessary for
some gowns, and so we have
girdles that will make our
waists look slim, whether they
are or not.
Remember that however sheer
and lovely your bandeau, it must
give you enough uplift, and the
new laces and nets for spring
have the right lines. It might be
well to invest in a new supply
especially for your new costumes.
The stores are ready with spring
models, and they can give you
guidance on what to wear for
your particularly figure and for
the new clothes.

New CoIors in
Fancy JeweIry

PARIS-While the medieval
influence still inspires ornaments
and fancy jewels in bright, multi
colored cabouchons set on metal,
there is a tendency toward more
definite color contrast between
the dress and the jewelry. This
fashion has a practical advan-
tage, as it permits several varia-
tions of a black dress by alter
mating the colored parure.
Jeanne Lanvin shows a black
gown in rayon clock, accom-
panied by a belt adorned with
erald green cabouchons
matching a fancy necklace and
a bodice clip. Jodelle trims a
black albene evening dress with
jade green costume jewelry.
Also shown at this house is a
very smart evening ensemble in
deep dark grenat rayon un-
cruShable velvet, ornamented
with a lovely parure in turquoise
blue beads of plastic material, in
Guiding clips, front bodice motif,
earrings, and bracelets.

Pattern Smart
In Suits

We have described mems suit
ingS for spring as stripes, stripes
and more stripes. First we had
chalk stripe flannelS, made
famous through their popularity
with the royalty of Europe.
Then came flannels in gray or
blue with stripes in two colors,
such as gray and red on blue,
blue and white on blue or gray,
or red and beige on brown.
Some stripes are rather vivid,
too, chalk stripes of color on a
neutral ground. Then stripes
are used in combination with
various weaveS, such as herring
bones, and newest of all, we
have cable ctripeS, so named be-
cause they have ropey look.
Glenurquhart plaids are in
excellent favor too, for topcoatS
as well as suits. Some author
tiles have suggested that they
look conservative beside some
Of the checks that are worn,
and so men who do not want to
look conspicuous, yet have a
flair for color and pattern, are
choosing Glen plaids.
TatterSall checks, gun checks,
windowpane checks all with
color in them, are good, espe.
cially in clothes for the coun-
try. TweedS in monotone ef-
fectS are excellent too, and
tweed and Shetland jackets
with contrasting Slacks will be
seen for sports.

Contrast Seen

S.-Contrasting color
schemes are used by all the de.
signers, this season, and some of
them have succeeded in bring
ing out new and unexpected de-
tails. Molyneux obtains very
effective contrasts with dresses
in dark shades of black and
navy blue or deep purple, and
suede gloves and handbags in
bright or light tone, forming
color schemes with the hat,
trimming and floral decoration
on the dress. For instance, a
beige dress with a bouquet of
deep grenat carnations tucked
into the belt, is accompanied by
a grenat hat and grenat gloves.
