Senators. Ordinarily the proceedings
of these closed sessions are never made
public.
1t is not ascertainable as yet whether
the Senators had logarithms imposed
upon them, as did members of the
House Ways and Means Committee
when they sought enlightment. Here
Is the formula that was given them in
the case of an adjusted net income OF
$4,000:
equals a-b/c-d times (e-d) plus d.
In the case where:
equals rate of tax on adjusted net
income.
equals per cent Of undistributed
net income to adjusted net income
b equals bracket percentage next
smaller than "a"
equals bracket percentage next
larger than "a"
d equals rate of tax on bracket next
smaller than "a"
equals rate of tax on bracket next
larger than "a"
Thus:
Adjusted net income Is $4,000.
Undistributed net income is $4,000.
(a) Percentage of undistributed net
income to adjusted net income Is %
per cent.
(b) Bracket percentage next smaller
than % per cent is 20 per cent.
(c) Bracket percentage next larger
than % per cent is 30 per cent.
(d) Rate Of tax on bracket next
smaller than % per cent is 35 per
cent.
(e) Rate of tax on bracket next
larger than % per cent is rs per cent.
(x) Rate of tax on adjusted net
income therefore equals 22-20/3 80
times (75 minus $50 plus 35 equals
210 times plus 3.5 equals 4.3 per
cent.
Thus the tax equals 4.3 percent of
$4,000, or $430.
DR.. Herman Oliphant, general coun-
sci for Internal Revenue, Is one of
the main explainers of the measure.
He used to teach taxes at the Uni
versity Of Chicago.

URGED
IN HOUSING AID
But Any Subsidy Interfering
With Private Building Is
Opposed in Report.

Declaring the Government has
achieved reasonably satisfactory re-
suits" in the field of public housing
the Committee for Economic Recovery
today asserted experience in this ac-
tivity has demonstrated that public
housing must be permanent and not
temporary procedure and that the
central Government must aid and not
initiate projects.
On the basis of these two conclu-
sions. the report of the committee,
which was submitted to President
Roosevelt. recommended that Federal
aid be extended by permanent legisla-
ton, and that such aid be in the form
of fixed rental subsidy, which. the
report said, would leave the major re-
sponSibility to local communities.
The committee expressed opposition
to public construction of houses or to
any subsidy that might interfere with
private building.
Under our recommendations, the
report stated, private enterprise will
ultimately provide at profit adequate
housing for families with incomes as
low as $1,000 per year. Therefore, we
believe that public housing should be
limited to families with incomes below
that amount"
The report expressed opposition to
the Wagner -Ellenbogen housing bill
contending it serves to encourage
States to avoid their proper RESPONSE
bility in public housing"
1.-The (Wagner- -Ellenbogen) bills as
sumo that their passage will mean in
creased employment" the report
added. "In reality. this would cause
net decrease in employment, due tc
the fact that private enterprise woulc
contract its housing efforts at time
when it would otherwise expand"
The report opposed direct grants
on any basis other than rent subsidies
loans to private corporations for pur-
poses of public housing and any DEM
onstration projects by the Govern
ment particularly in relation to So
called public housing societies.
A sharp distinction was drawn be-
tween the problem of slum clearance
and that of rehousing slum dwellers
The latter, it was stated, is human
and social problem and must be dealt
with by Federal, State and municipal
authorities working together. Slum
clearance was described as a real
estate problem in which the Govern
ment should have no part.

to be carried out-without encounter
ing opposition-within two or three
days as the most.
The only major task remaining
then, to complete the Fascist conquest
of Ethiopia, these sources said, would
be elimination of the army of Ras
Nasibu, standing in the way of the
southern Italian forces before Harar.
second city of Ethiopia.
Roman jubilation over the progress
Of the northern army was mixed with
concern Of many who have relatives
on the Somaliland front over reports
that desperate fighting was necessary
in the attempts to subdue the stub
born troops of Ras Nasibu.
Dispatches from Gen. Rodolfo
Graziani's southern headquarters said
his three columns were directed yes
terday to take few days rest. and
that officers were taking advantage
of the temporary respite to reorganize
their battalions.
An order to resume the March on
Sasa Baneh was expected soon, and
Italians anticipated that it would
carry the tri-color far forward on the
road to Harar, ITS miles northeast of
SaSa Baneh.

in "25 years" His statement of how
difficult the bill is to understand has
come to be looked upon by his COL
leagues as understatement. Originally
1t had been planned to conclude the
closed hearings last week. The men,
bers are still cropping at the hands
of the Treasury experts, however.
Frankfurter Held Responsible.
Although there were widely circu-
lated reports that Secretary Morgen-
thau had purposely absented himself
from the House committee hearings.
he appeared before the Senate COM
mittee but, according to the conf
dental transcript of the proceedings,
did nothing but introduce the gentle
men with him.
While the authorship of the bill is
still moot question it has become
fairly we'll established that Prof. Felix
Frankfurter is responsible, at least,
for section 29-J, which would levy an
30 per cent tax on intercorporate divi-
dends. This is looked upon as another
device to put the utility holding COM
panies out Of business and because of
Frankfurter's insistence upon it, the
question has arisen as to whether the
brain trust Is confident the holding
company bill, passed at the last ses-
sion and now on the way to the
Supreme Court. will be upheld.
Just before the tax bill went to
Congress, Frankfurter, this reporter is
reliably informed, spent three days
here insisting upon the inclusion OF
this section.
An additional reason for the closed
hearings, it is pointed out, Is that
behind closed doors the sponsors are
able to appeal to the predjudices Of the
Senators and to beat down their re-
sistance to the measure. The con-
fidential report discloses they told sew
eral little intimate stories about vari-
Gus corporations, which, the under
standing Is, they would not care to re-
peat in public, and in this way to have
broken down the opposition of some

Read IT and Wonder

n EEMS TAYLOR is famous as
II the composer of the score for
the opera ''The Kings Henchman"
and as one of the country's leading
authorities on music But back in
1912 his name meant something
else-that of a writer of amusing
oddities in verse. For instance,
readers of the Century magazine
must have rubbed their eyes when
they read over his signature this:
APE OWE 'EM
When fur stews can this i'll ear I'm
loot rye tomb ache theme cen ink leer,
Youth linked wood butt bee way sting
thyme
Use Ell its imp lean on scent shear.
Gnome altar, Anna lies align;
Nation mice lender verse says knot,
Fork rip tick poet reel Ike mine
How Aaron WELD demeans allot.
But when they read it again
slowly and aloud-they found it
was:
When first you scan this silly rhyme
To try to make the meaning clear,
You think 'twould but be wasting time
You say it's simply nonsense sheer.
No matter, analyze a line;
Nay, shun my slender verses not
For cryptic poetry like mine,
However unwieldy, means a lot.
