FUNERAL RITES
OF REV. SCOTT

Funeral rites for the late Rev
r. T. Scott. Of this city, were held
from Mt. Zion Baptist Church. on
Clinton street, Monday. August O.
The services were very impressive
Rev. c. II. Walker was master OF
ceremonies.
The funeral grafton was deliver
ed by Rev. S. ]. Glover. pastor OF
Morning Star Baptist Church. who
preached from the text. And the
king said unto his servants. know
ye not that a prince and a great
man has fallen in Israeli"
In eloquent words. the minister
said in part:
Rev. Scott, our missionary, died
last Thursday morning at Q o'clock,
and by his death. q prince and a
great man has fallen"
I'm some instances, a man is
styled great because OF his wealth
and contributions TO the progress
OF the world: by his wonderful
discoveries and inventions. But as
see II. for q man to be truly
great, he must be born again--born
Of God--born from above"
After fitting selections by the
church choir, with Mrs. William
Robinson at the piano. the funeral
services ended, and the mortal re-
mains OF one who had been dedicat-
ed to the cause OF Christ for a
number OF years, we're laid to rest
under q blanket OF flowers, In OAK
land Cemetery.

lYES-yC, examining the budget for
the seat of the federal government,
was confronted with a deficit in
the district finances and instructed
it's tax subcommittee to develop new
sources of revenue in order that
the District Of Columbia might not
get into debt. Among the taxes pro-
posed was tax on income of res
idents of the District of Columbia,
which is synonymous with Wash
ington, and it provided for taxing
earnings here whether the person
who earned the income was resi-
dent of the capital city or not.
That was too much. The majority
in the house Of representatives just
could not take it. They voiced their
objections openly and, being supe-
rior in numbers to those who be-
lieved that income in the District
of Columbia should be taxed, they
forced the tax bill back to the
District of Columbia committee for
revision. Indeed, they went further.
The line of criticism of an income
tax that would touch the sacred
salaries of congressman and SEN
ators was such as to have the effect
of forcing the committee to bring
in a tax bill that would increase
the tax on property in the federal
area. Now, it is fact that few
members of the house and a very
small number of senators have
bought residences in Washington.
They usually live in apartments or
hotels or lease homes for the period
that congress is in session. Conse-
quently, real estate tax will not
concern most of the representatives
and senators.
The Indictment brought against
the Presidents court plan by the

Court Pldn committee was
Report quite unusual in
many respects.
In the first instance, it was ap-
proximately fifteen thousand words
in length; being in that regard prob
ably the longest and most COM
prehensive analysis that any con-
gressional committee ever has
made of piece of legislation. Ger
tainly, it is the most extensive ex-
animation to be included in a COM
mittee report in the last quarter of
a century.
Every argument advanced by the
administration in support of the
plan was picked to pieces and held
up to public gaze; every possible
reason for expansion of the court
by the addition of six new justices
was scrutinized and denounced and.
then, the committee put forth some
of it's own ideas.
"It applies force to the judiciary"
the committee said in sentence
that constituted one paragraph and
thereby was emphasized.
''The only argument for the in
crease which survives analysis" the
report added, ''is that congress
should enlarge the court so as to
make the policies of this administra-
ton effective"

When Warner Bros. decided to make "A Mid
summer Nights Dream" with an all-star cast,
they Immediately made arrangements for Jory
to essay the role Of Oberon, and he was the
sole player in the Aim who was not under con-
tract to Warmers. And the critics have credited
him with tho smoothest and most understanding
portrayal.

so many years his name is synonymous with
the event, as is his wife's, who usually portrays
Ramona.
nUT in the very best of lives there is always
q a tinge of sadness, and Jory's has not es-
capped. His work throughout the years has
brought him into the midst of beautiful ladies.
Three times before meeting the present Mrs.
Jory, he was engaged to conely bundles of
femininity, all redheads, oddly-each met
a tragic death. One in train wreck and two
in automobile crashes. More strange is the fact
that when each was killed, she was enroute to
meet him.
Those are bitter memories to Jory and some-
times he wonders If he has overcome the grief
Yet tragic and bewildering as they were at the
time, he relates that it is such tragedy in one
form or another, that gives one a philosophy.
To Gladys George, his leading lady in many
plays, he extends the credit for having been
something of a guiding spirit. At times when
morbidity attacked him, it was she who offered
him the old adage that "the show must go on"
that death and tragedy are but natural occur
rences sometimes destined to test the character
of one.
AS his personality has impressed in his own
country, SO 1t does everywhere that Jory treads

'Tiger Tiger" and several other stock engage

But his innate wanderlust and the urge for
activity dictated that he push on, so he tramped
to Salt Lake City, where he found employment
with a stock company, and did 120 shows in
