additional victims of an insurgent air

A government communique called
the raid vicious and criminal at

Treasury experts put finishing
touches today on new revenue recon-
mandations which may call for sub
stantial changes in the existing tax
structure.
Hearings will start tomorrow before
House Ways and Means Subcommit-
tee headed by Representative vinson,
Democrat, of Kentucky.
The Treasury recommendations are
expected to show whether the admin
istration intends to tighten the tax
load on business, and whether new
taxes will be sought in an effort to BAL
ance the budget in the next fiscal year
II new taxes are recommended, they
may fall on persons with incomes be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
President Roosevelt, however, has
| said he thought next years budget
could be balanced without additional
taxation.
Financial and business representa-
tlves have been demanding modifica-
ton in two taxes affecting corporations
and stock market traders-the undis-
tributed profits and the capital gains
levies.
They have blamed these taxes as
factors in the recent stock market de-
cline, and various authorities have as
serted their relaxation would spur
business.
1t generally is expected the Treasury
will suggest some changes in the I'M
distributed profits tax to eliminate in
| equities and to simplify the computa-
tion of payments. The tax imposes
rates from to 81 per cent on undis-
tributed corporate surpluses.
Treasury spokesmen declined to say
whether any modification would be
recommended in the capital gains tax.
Financial spokesmen have asserted
this levy had discouraged stock buying
because it takes a part Of trading
profits.
The program, officials said, may
provide for elimination Of some exist
ing nuisance" taxes and may call for
making others permanent Authori-
ties predicted the aggregate tax load
| would not be cut.

.Suspecting Neighbors

The situation in Russia seems to have reached stage like the Terror" of the French Revolution a century and half ago. It is not so bad in degree, but of the same nature. Red officials suspect everybody, and the secret police are ready at moments notice to arrest anybody. The prisons are said to be full of sus- poets and there have been many hun dred executions, with or without trial in court.
 The worst of it is that everybody IS learning to suspect everybody else, and indeed is urged to do so. Andrei ViShin- sky, chief prosecuting official of the So- viet government, asks every citizen to be on guard, considering every felloW-citizen as potential enemy of the public veal. He says: What is necessary is simply that each person should make it rule to be- have in regard to any other person in such way that, in case the other person turned out to be an enemy, he would be unable to derive anything from his ac- 4uaintance with you which could serve him in wrecking and spying work direct ed against the Soviet Union"
 In other words, trust nobody; be on gu I'd against friends and neighbors as If you knew they were traitors; tell them nothing and believe nothing they tell you. { charming country to live in! And likely to grow worse before it grows be:- CT; for in such a state of mind, 1t is only GO easy for facts to be warped and in- locent words and deeds to appear evil.

School for Leaders Wives

Teachers College of Columbia Univer- sity offers seventeen courses flor wives ot future school administrators. Women, it is conceded, may make or break their husbands professional careers. Prepara- tion for the special responsibilities f wives of prominent men, it is believed, will keep them from becoming drags on their husbands progress.
 The courses include etiquette, hospital ity and social usage, family social rela- tions, home-making, art and music appre- citation, and so on. The courses should not overlook the petty politics and jealousies and social rivalrieS that sometimes exist in academic communities. And why not a course or two for the men who expect to be prominent?
 This idea might we'll be extended to in- clude courses for wives of preachers, doc- tors, judges and public officials. It should be remembered, however that courses in etiquette, hospitality, and all the rest, will not give pupils the humor, tact and intelligence required of the wives of prom inent men. Women possessing those qualities to begin with will know how to master the social problems that confront them. The announced course sWill have their uses, but they will hardly work miracles if courage, common sense and experience are lacking
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-02
A Thought for Today
Grave Responsibility

On three successive Saturday nights hit-and-run drivers have accounted for three victims in Waterbury and vicinity. Two were killed outright and were dead when found lying alongside of the road, in both cases close by the motor testing lane on Thomaston avenue. The last case oc- cured on the Wolcott road near the scene of the famous John Grove double-shoot- ing incident of several years ago. In this instance the victim did not die until many hours afterward and then in hospital.
 Drivers of the cars which caused deaths on Thomaston avenue were never appre- hended. A driver is held for the third case. It is to be hoped that the city has seen the last of such cases for long time to come There is always sorrow at death on the highways, but when it is hit-and- run case feelings are more than mere sor- row. There is public indignation and there is resentment. And rightly so, too. The public needs protection against the 1r- responsible driver at all times.
 In the light of what has taken place in Waterbury on the past three Saturday nights we think it only advisable that any and all information relative to solution of these cases be brought to the attention of the police. Oftentimes the best clues in an unsolvable case are those supplied by the innocent byStander who doesn't want to be involved and remains mum when word from him would be sufficient to put the evidence together and bring forth a solution.
 We urged motorists to have a healthy regard for society, so much so that they will contrive and cooperate in preserving life and limb; so much so that they will scorn any opportunity to waive re- sponsibility; so much so that they will band together to eliminate the hit-and- run driver from our midst.
