Horrible Examples of Tax Dodging
Big Names May be in the NeIUs j..
Pet Topic of Speculation

WASHINGTON.-The TreaSury's list of tax
dodgers, if it's ever revealed, will be found to be
Sprinkled with many of the names that make
headlines.
Identity of the horrible examples" whose de-
vices for evading taxes were described in Secre-
tary Morgenthau's letter to the President, has
become pet topic of speculation
The man who Incorporated his yacht SO as
TO avoid taxes on the money spent to operate it is
very famous and important automobile mag
nate.
celebrated publisher is also among those
whose lawyers found ways TO escape payment of
as much as the Treasury thinks he should have
paid.
Another man, known to be- listed, is a men,
Der of a prominent eastern industrial family. He
evaded some taxes by Incorporating his racing
stable
Just few days ago Senator Jimmy Byrnes of
South Carolina was the chief contender for the
Senate majority leadership against Senator Alben
Barkey of Kentucky, the White House choice
all candidates. being based on the probability
that Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, present
leader, would sooner or later be appointed to the
Supreme Court.
Byrnes, however, isn't after the leadership
any more. Roosevelt let the word out that his
thumbs were down on Jimmy For that reason
or some other, ByrneS has swung his support to
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, stalwart
conservative. Pat was understood to have let it
be known earlier that he didn't want Robinsons
post But 1t now appears that he does.
Vice President Jack Garner who was roaring
with indignation about the ssitdoNn strikes was
close behind Byrnes-and not entirely secretly
when the latter tossed in an amendment which
would have made Roosevelt approve Or disap
prove an unqualified condemnation of Sitdowns.
Then Justice Van Devanter resigned. And in
no time at all the alert agile ByrneS was all
over the Senate boosting Robinson for the court.
Garner, meanwhile, allowed it to be known that
he was supporting ByrneS for the leadership.
Roosevelt pushed all available buttons to block
the play insofar as it concerned Byrnes. Barring
a smashing defeat for the President, Barkley
and not Harrison will be the next administra-
ton floor leader-if Robinson goes on the court.
There's an inside dispute to whether the
LaFollette civil liberties investigation, which has
produced load upon load of sensational evidence
that in Harlan County, should keep right
going.
AT present the committee is quietly investi-
eating labor policies and anti-union activities
OF the Ford Motor company. But the last $40,
900 voted for the committee has just about run
out
Now LaFollette is tired and indicates will
lingness TO let the committee wind up and fade
away.
He is being urged to ask for more money
and TO investigate labor tactics in the textile
industry; efforts by professional patriots" to
suppress free speech; alleged oppression of agri-
cultural labor in the south and elsewhere; and
activities of the Black Legion and other secret
orders.

TWO DIVORCE
SUITS FILED

Two divorce actions, in each of
which the wife seeks large part
of the property involved. were filed
in superior court here late Friday.
Mrs. Ida Schultz. owner of the
Border Department store in CAL
exico. seeks a divorce from Adolph
Schultz on grounds OF support
and extreme cruelty, charging that
her husband threatened to kill her
unless she divided her property
equally with him.
Mrs. Sophie J. Glazner seeks a
divorce from Ben w. Glazner on
grounds of extreme cruelty. asking
that all community property be as
signed to her. Her complaint ex-
plains that she has not known
where her husband was for almost
a year.

In very short time the COM
mencement orator is to be turned
loose on this years crop of high
school graduates; and while this
in some ways is tough on the
graduates it is also getting to be
pretty tough on the orator too. The
good old days of commencement
addresses arc gone with the SHOWS
of yeSteryear.
There was a time when harran-
guing a bevy of high school grad
yates was the SofteSt of all soft
Jobs. All the speaker had to do was
remind his helpless young audience
that this is land of equal oppor-
tunity and that success comes
through hard work. Then, after re-
citing a few well-chosen incidents
from the lives of Abraham Lincoln.
Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford,
he could resume his seat with the
satisfaction that comes from a
good job we'll done.
II Il II
Nowadays ii is a little different.
Success still comes through hard
work--if you can get the work, and
if the work doesn't evaporate af-
ter you get it.
Opportunity is still equal-unless
you happen TO be one of the un-
lucky ones who get deposited on a
relief line or WPA job. And what
happened to the Fords and Edisons
when the country was young and
expanding may not have much bear
ing on the problems of youth afloat
in a land that is older and that
shows frightening tendency to
contract every SO often.
So what is the poor commence
ment orator to do? He cans sing the
old song or the youngsters will hoot
at him. What tune can he sing?
Perhaps his best bet would be to
admit the worst. and then to Of
fer that worst to the young grad
yates as a challenge. He might say
something like this:
IT'S a queer sort of a world you
are going out into. and l can't hon
estly tell you that you are going
