Instead of trying any silly She

simple, clear statement"
Now 81, Roses career stepped

pion, song writer, and Fanny Brice',

recognition as producer with hi,

Miss Holm, record breaking back
stroke swimmer, smashed the front
pages when she was banned from the
1886 Olympic team.
American Olympic officials dropped
her on charges she drank champagne
aboard the liner that carried Ameri-
can contestants to Germany. Her
husband, radio crooner and orchestra
leader. went to Germany, protesting
her dismissal. Jarrett is now in
Hollywood.
All of us have the incest feelings
about our mates" Rose stated, in
direct, matter-of- manner.
But too many careers in a family
mean too much separation. We're all
agreed on that.
Miss Brice is great star. And
right now she's tied up in Hollywood
for five years. Mr.. Jarrett is in Holly
wood and he faces good career.
Miss Holm Is tops in her field, and
I've kind of stumbled along"
Rose said Miss Brice knew of the
situation but he would not say when
he advised her of his decision to marry
Eleanor.
But, after all, there is nothing
sudden about it." he declared.
At Beverly Hills, Miss Brice said,
II don't know thing about it,"
when asked if she would divorce Rose.

her 46th birthday anniversary last

vorced Jules (Nicky) Arnstein and
charged his love grew cold when she

Smith Says Ex.Head
OF ". r. A. Sought
Jobs for TWO Men.

- Gen. Hugh S. Johnson's recent at
tack on the Bituminous Coal Commits
sion in his syndicated newspaper COL
umn drew a sharp retort today from
Clarence E. Smith, member of the
commission.

aches" Gen. johnson is in better
position than any one else to know
about them. He pointed out that at the
Very moment the paper carrying Zen.
Johnson's outburst was placed on his
desk, the commissions Managerial
Committee was in session considering
two appointments "of which the gen.
,eral had considerable knowledge"
g.. One Of the appointments, Mr.. Smith
explained. involved Mead S. johnson,
brother of Gen. johnson, who was
appointed a special agent at a salary
OF $4,000 a year. The other, he said,
concerned Frederick A. Reiman, who
was a receptioniSt in Gen. Johnson's
office when he was head of the N. R. A.
Mr.. Reiman was appointed a special
investigator at salary of $4,000 a
year
with characteristic energy and per-

higher income taxes. Also, some per-
sons contend, the tax tends to in
crease the buying power of security
holders.
What are arguments against it?
Business men contend the levy weak
ems corporation financial structures
by forcing payment of excessive divi-
dends and prevents accumulation of
reserves for use in business recessions.
They say the dividend distributions
often prevent plant expansion, thus
retarding employment, and that the
tax weighs more heavily on the small
company seeking to grow than on the
big, established corporation.
What is the capital gains tax?
A tax which takes part of the gain
an individual realizes on a capital as
set. II, for instance, person bought
a security for 500 and sold it at 5000,
he would have to pay the tax on the
500 gain.
How it Works.
How does it work?
1t taxes at at a greater rate capital
gains over a short period than those
realized over long period. If, for
example, person realizes a gain on
capital asset he has held for not
more than a year, he must include all
the gain in his net income, and the
gain is taxable at regular income tax
rates. If, however, he has held the
assets for more than 10 years, he must
include only 80 per cent of the gain in
his net income. Varying in-between
rates are fixed.
What arguments have been advanced
for the tax?
That capital gains constitute income
and thus should be taxed along with
wages, dividends and other income;
that the tax encourages long-term in
vestment as against quick, speculative
buying and selling.
On what grounds is it opposed?
Opponents argue it takes so large
a share Of security profits that it tends
to drive traders from the stock market.
This, they contend, weakens the mar
ket and lays the basis for sharp price
recessions.

the car, which correspondent with
that Of the machine Gouldman had
been demonstrating.

lence from the men. The young
hitch-hikers had not been located at
noon today
Meanwhile, series of hold-ups
and robberies here kept Washington
police on the jump. A colored robber
last night slugged Lloyd R. King. 81,

undistributed corporate profits
4 L and capital gains, modifica-
ton of which is being considered by a
House subcommittee at the behest Of
business men:
What is the undistributed profits
tax?
A levy on SURPRISES which corpora
tons do not distribute in dividends to
stockholders. The rates range from
Z to 81 per cent, increasing in proper
ton to the amount of surplus with
held from distribution.
What was its purpose?
First. to get more revenue from
corporations storing up SURPRISES; Sec
ond, to encourage distribution Of
profits.
How does it affect individuals?
1t causes many corporations to dis
burse in dividends funds which they
otherwise might hold as reserves. This
increases income in the hands of in
dividual stockholders, who pay In
creased income taxes.
Argument for 1t.
What are some arguments advanced
for the tax?
Treasury spokesman have said it
prevents accumulation Of funds which
should go to security holders. When
SURPRISES are not distributed, they
said, security holders enjoy their bene-
hts in the form of more val,1a hIo ,,
vestments, but avoid payment of
