both human thinking and hui
man conduct must be renovated

cape slump into barbariSm.
"They have been exploring for
a long time for physical basis
of civilization. They haven't
found it. In the last century
evolution fixed everything up
nicely. There was an organic
quality in human society which
made for progress, an analogy
of biological evolution. There
was also progressive improve
ment in the intelligence and be-
havior of the human species.
Some studies of the human
brain were disquieting. They
found little difference in quality
and pOtentialities between the
brains of modern and ancient
men.
Civilization became the so:
cial heritage and nothing more.
1t didn't seem to be grounded
anywhere. 1t could be brushed
aside by a Stain, Hitler, or
MusSOIini. Classical economics
took a lot of punishment, too.
Mill, Bentham and Golden were
idols with feet of clay. The law
of supply and demand is some
thing else again, if you corner
supply and artificially stimulate
demand. The physical sciences
went through unbelievable trans
formations. Psychology was
jOIted by the behaviOrists into
a realization that it isn't really
a science.
NEW SYNTHESIS
"AlI the sO-calIed sciences we're
boiled down to a few faltering
statements of limited unifOrmi-
ties and probabilities. Religion
in many parts Of the world sank
into confusion and futility. All
in all, science has had a whole
some realization Of its limita-
lions and of the urgency of re-
building. I think the least COM
mon denomination of the Harvard
gathering is a search for a new
SyntheSiS of knowledge.
"Urban living, the use Of new
energies, technology, the Stimula-
ton of new wants, cOmmunica-
tons, mass education and trans
portatiOn have made new terms
of individual and mass survival.
The Kaiser had a withered arm,
but that didn't prevent him from
being a great war lord. In a
primitive society with biological
survival forces at work, he would
have been counted out before he
started.
zone way to put it would be
that we have appropriated the
business, and old Mother Ma
ture has told us to go ahead and
run it. We no longer heed her
mandates or restraints. The race
comes of age and seeks to cast
the mold of civilization in a
rational pattern, rather in the
old matrix of biological struggle.
eve are out for a new syn
thesis of Man the Unknown

sounds like a grandiOSe business,

we can't think our way through,

could get in the one volume, there
is a movement started to form a

Kenneth Romney, Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House and veteran
in service there, remembers a lot
about the jovial Indianian. He,
too, thinks Jim could keep on tell
ing stories forever and not repeat
himself. He says that the first
time he met Mr.. Watson was at
Griffith Stadium at a ball game.
Mr.. Romney was on the way IN
with another Congressman when
they Spied watson. Mr.. Romney
knew him by sight, but had never
met him. He was introduced and,
according to actual count, Watson
shook hands with him six times
before they found their seats.
Mr.. Romney also remembers
that when he was in Chicago re-

NEW INCOME TAX
BASE DISCUSSED
Statistics of Treasury De
partment Hint Broad
ening of Tax Base"
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writerl

Washington, April 21-The treasury
departments office of research and
statistics has on hand the draft of a
plan to broaden the income tax base"
as fiscal experts express it.
1t is not a bill, ready to be intro
duced in congress. 1t is, however, the
raw material for one.
/ happen to have seen it.
1t will not get out of the treasury
departments statistical office ahead
of election day That is certainty.
Nevertheless, it hints at what the
statistical folk have simmering in the
back of their heads, with a view to
the next congressional session-after
election, if their side wins it.
EXEMPTIONS CUT
d. The tentative scheme is to reduce
the unmarried mans income tax ex-
Semption to $500 and the married
NMan's exemption to $1,000. n
ii That is to say, the bachelor will be
BAKED on everything he makes above
$500; the benefit on everything above
$4,000. A great many additional de-
tails are involved scarcely anything
. is more complicated than income tax
atom but that is the nub of the pro-
gram.
offer this information as a bit of
news, and, 1 think, exclusive news,
rather than as a columnist's reflec-
tiOns. 1t seems to me it should be in
teresting to stable proportion of
the citizenry.
HUGE RESERVOIR
There is no question that a tax on
all families above the $1,000 mark (not
to mention the $500 bachelors) would
bring lot of money into Uncle Sans
treasury.
A treasury statistical wizard esti-
mated to me that approximately 81
per cent of the country's incomes are
below $4,000.
Obviously, if all these small fry
are to be caught (from $500 or $4,000
and $4,000, the gross yield will be
enormous. It will come in in nickels,
dimes, "simoleons" and an occas-
sional Nv" or "sawbuck," but it will
be handsome total.
