u. S. Seeks Broad
Base For Farm
Aid Taxes
BY WILLIAM 8. NEAL
international News Service

The Roosevelt administration Is
seeking o broader base than for
mer processing taxes to finance
the new 500 million dollar farm
program, it was disclosed today.
While the. form Of taxes to be
recommended to Congress Is still
. matter Of discussion. congress
sional leaders in tax affairs indi-
Gated that the proposed levies may
surprise the country.
Many reasons were advanced
for the effort to expand the half
dozen major processing taxes
which provided about q half bill
lion dollars q year to finance AAA
benefit payments.
80 Per Cent on Food
The processing taxes. in some
instances, amounted to sales taxes
Of nearly 80 per cent on food.
Throughout the East and in big
cities the AAA processing taxes
were attacked as the direct cause
of the boost in the price Of food.
The form In which the old pro
cessing taxes we're levied made it
easy for professors to attack them
in court on the ground that they
were directly linked to the farm
program. Administration legal ex-
perts are striving to give the taxes
q general" nature as means OF
minimizing the danger Of court
attack.
Another reason advanced Is that
the new soil conservation program,
under which farm land would be
leased and thus taken out Of pro-
duction, directly affects all farm
crops. The old program was de-
signed to raise prices Of the so.
called basic crops. All professors,
some administration experts say,
should bear . part Of the cost Of
the new program.
Bonus. Taxes "Out"
Taxation Of products competing
with the major farm products
may be recommended. During the
existence Of AAA, Secretary Of
Agriculture wallace was continu-
ally bombarded by cotton interests
for q levy Of taxes on competing
products.
Congressional leaders today &C
cepted as settled Q ban on taxes
to finance the soldiers bonus, de-
spite White House statements that
the matter Is under consideration.
Chairman Doughton Cd Of
North Carolina indicated that, In
addition to farm taxes, Congress
may consider revision Of some In
equities in the present tax laws.
He said, however, that Congress
desired to avoid a general over
hauling of the tax laws this ses-
sion.

proximately S1,1O0.000 900 will be

six months Of this year. : aS
Following the Presidents dis.
closure that an effort was ,being

thoritative quarters disclosed that
the amount needed was around
$2OO, 100000.
A Treasury statement credited
the WPA with an unexpended
balance Of $877, 49,, ,992. This
sum, however, is expected to last
only until the end Of April. The
additional S200,000,000 will be
needed by the WPA to provide
relief for the jobleSs between
that date and July /, when new
relief funds are expected to be
available. When added to sums
already spent on relief this year,
it will bring the total to around

lively short time, but Representa-
tive Smith Is afraid the ITEM,
porary" plan Of the committees
eventually will turn out to be per.
manent. He pointed out that 1t
will take an act Of Congress to re.
open the road. ,
However. Senator Robert r,
Reynolds ID.) Of North Carolina,
chairman Of the Senate Military
Affairs subcommittee, which has
been acting jointly with the
House committee. suggested:
"As soon as we can get this
legislation for the temporary
closing Of the road enacted, 30
as to insure continuation Of air
service for the National Capital,
we Immediately will begin con.
sideratiOn Of some plan to settle
this thing permanently.
HOPES FOR SOLUTION
II feel we win find q sOlu-
tlOn soon. But, do not want
to see the Federal Government
ON thS losing end Of this thing.
don't want the Government
giving away It's property, and at
the same time want to see the
airport kept open and do not
want TO deprive the people OF
Virginia Of the use Of necessary
highways"
Representative Smith is pessi
miStic over chances for success OF
his proposition to have the Fed
eral Government turn the title
for the road over to Arlington
county without cost, so that the
county can sell the road to the
airport and from the proceeds
finance the construction OF
another road in the same general
area.
Yesterday, however, during the
hearings Sam Solomon, spokes
man for the airport, evidenced In
tereSt in the Smith proposal
pointing out that the only pos
sible difficulty would be the mat
ter of agreeing on the value Of
the land involved. He indicated
his organization may be willing
to pay as high as $40, 900 for the
land, and this, it is believed
would satisfy the Virginia author
tiles.
Some members Of the two com
mittees believe that his solution
might ultimately be the one de
termined upon by Congress, al
though it would entail what Sen
ator Reynolds objects to, ramely
the Federal Government giving
away its property.
New Airport Urged
Entire solution Of Washington's
airport problem was seen by some
observers today as the most :Nn
portant eventual result of the
present fight.
Witness after witness, including
spokesmer for the Commerce and
Postoffice Departments, for the
airline companies and members Of
Congress, yesterday characterized
the local airport as "a mud-hole'
and as "the worst airport in the
country" All, including Mr.. Solo
mon, urged the necessity Of the
new airport here with adequate
facilities for the handling of the
great volume Of air business here
Similarly virtually every wit
ness gave the committees the dis
tinct understanding that the fl
nancing of such an undertaking
was primarily one for the Fedora
Government to undertake. it be
ing pointed out that the airport
here is used much more in behalf
Of the Federal Government thar
In behalf Of the local citizenry.

In Make-Up
Tone Down Defects

Good Points.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

MAKEUP at its best not only
makes the most OF Natures
clever color artistry, it enhances Ma
ture. And il goes step farther. It
outwits Nature by relegating to the
background certain feature defects
through the simple medium of empha-
sis tn the good points.
Makeup can be likened to clever
| photography or artistic retouching
You've seen clever photographer
turn out a likeness of some one with
nose seemingly shorter, face fuller,
lips less generous. eyes larger or
deeper Just so with makeup when
it achieves the peak of perfection.
| For instance, a too-round face can
be made to look longer through the
skillful application of rouge. The
color should be placed quite high OH
the cheek bones, just beneath the
eyes. The deepest color should be In
toward the nose, blended so that it
fades away before it reaches the
widest part Of the face.
| A too thin or too long face, on the
other hand. should be rouged outward.
The rouge should be placed a little
| lower down, carried far out on the
face. Covering greater surface, it
should fade away toward the esrs and
! temples. The chin can stand little
rouge, too, unless it is too prominent.
A touch of rouge on the ear lobes will
add apparent width.
The size of the mouth can be
apparently changed. For instance, If
the upper lip is too full the deepest
color should fall in the center Of the
lip, then with the fingertip it should
| be blended so that the color fades
out within the upper outline Of the
lip. If the lower lip is too full, in
stead of applying any color directly
to 1t, rouge the upper lip and rub
the two lips together, just as you would
in pronouncing the letters m or .. a
little of the color will be imprinted
on the lower lip, then careful blend
ing with fingertip will give an even
effect
A thin mouth, on the other hand,
should have the color deepest at the
edges and the color should be
brought right to the upper and
lower outline. With little prac-
tice, it can even be brought wee
bit past the actual outline.
If the mouth is too long. the
color should be deepest near the
center and fade away within the
mouth corners.
Even a long nose can be made
to look shorter by clever touch
Of a wee bit of rouge under the tip.
