Gas long ago as 1924 the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue held
that where q professional base
bali club agreed to and publicly
announced that It would, donate
10 per cent of the gate receipts
of certain games to the Amer
lean Red Cross, such 10 per
cent was impressed with a trust
in favor of the Red Cross and
was income taxable to the ball
club.
Elm 1925 the bureau ruled
that amounts collected by the
aters for admissions which were
turned over to q benefit fund
were not income Of the theaterS
collecting them. Both Of these
s. rulings 70 considerably beyond

Interjected Representative Vim.

"That seems to cover the mat

Said Senator Harrison Cd, Of
Mississippi.
Representative Treadway, Of
Massachusetts,, asked:
Had the contract been
entered into when the ruling
was given?".
Jackson answered:
II think So"
Treadway cited q ruling Of the
bureau that no rulings on pros
pective contracts were given with
out authority Of the commissioner.
Formal Rulings Rare
Jackson said that the general
policy is not to give formal rulings
on unconpleted transactions. But,
he added, the bureau tries to be
helpful" Representative VinSon
inquired:
"Mrs. Roosevelt had not per.
formed any part Of the con-
tract when she was given ad'
Vice?"
Jackson replied:
mo, obviously, she could mot
give her services and pay tax
for it."
Representative Treadway cited
o ruling Of Former Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Blair saying
that income could not be assigned
to third parties and that deduc-
tons for charity are limited to Is
per cent. Treadway said:
II would like for you to recon-
cile your ruling to Mr.. Blair's."
To which Jackson answered:

In connection with the marriage

While the back to work parade
continued, officials of the union

fense of the United States are
mindful of the fact that modern
aggressorS no longer bother to
declare war formally, but strike
with lightning rapidity and with
out warning.
They remember the lesson of
the World War: that it took a
year and a half to train and
equip civilians into an effective
army, that in a future war the
U. S. might not have the armies
of allies to hold back a foe while
it went through the tedious proc
ess of building fighting force.
The army of 100000 men Is
planned as nucleus which, it is
believed, could effectively with
stand any attack while the whole
nation was being thrown onto a
war basis.
Reserves Ready
No change is now contemplated
in the numerical strength of the
present standing Army, it was
learned.
This is now rapidly being
brought up to its authorized quota
of 10000. ~
The balance would come from
trained and equipped reserves.
The much-discussed industrial
mobilization plan, now in Con-
gress, would put the nations en-
tire resources instantly at the
command of the President to pro-
vide the funds, food, bullets, fight
ing machines and other material
essential to the immediate prose
cution of war.
The War Department will ask
Congress this session, it was
learned, to authorize a reserve
force of 10000 enlisted men.
Enlisted Reserves
This force of trained men would
come from men who have COM
pleted full enlistment in the
Army. They would enlist for an
active service period OF three
years and then remain in the re-
serves for four years more. The
Army now has no enlisted reserve.
These men, all highly trained
specialists, would retain their full
equipment, except arms, and be
ready to spring to arms overnight.
The Army high command argues
that the modern mechanical Army
must have professionally-trained
soldiers if it is to do a fighting job.
The soldier today is a specialist
He no longer needs only to know
how to drill and shoot a rifle and
handle a bayonet but must have
an intimate knowledge of the
handling of highly technical fight.

Luther C. Steward, president Of
the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees, and Comdr. C.. H.
Cotter, executive assistant of the
National Emergency Council.
Extension of the classified civil
service, as provided in the bill,
was indorsed by all those who
appeared before the committee.
They pointed out that inclusion
of all Federal employees in the
civil service was necessary to
efficient government.
On the other hand, they pointed
out that open competitive exami-
nations for incumbents in the
emergency agencies, many of
whom were appointed hurriedly
and under stress of the national
emergency several years ago,
would disrupt the service at the
present time.
Mr.. Steward, who said that writ
ten examinations are lin GER
tain sense negative" told the COM
mittee many incumbents have
been found to be qualified work
ers and that an open competitive
examination might place them at
a disadvantage. He indorsed, how
ever, the general principal of open
competitive examinations for new
positions.
On the whole, witnesses before
the committee critized the recon-
mendation of the Presidents COM
mittee on reorganization, that ad-
ministrative officers be permitted
to select employees who may or
may not take such non-competitive
examinations, as are offered in the
course of the proposed extention
of the civil service.
In this connection, 1t was stated
by Representative Guy L. MoSer
CD of Pennsylvania that "bu-
reaucracy now reigns" in the Fed
eral Government and that the Fed
eral personnel is confronted with
the "calamitous situation where
people are trying to get into the
civil service as easily as possible"
Commander Cotter told the COM
mittee that use of competitive ex-
aminations would be destructive
of morale" and would result in a
loss of efficiency because of the
time necessary to train new en-
ployes who would come into the
service as a result of the exami-
nation.

MADRID, Feb. 16 0N.S0.-A
city half destroyed and half de-
serted, surrounded on all sides by
victorious insurgents and helpless
and prone before repeated attacks
is what I expected to find today
on my return to Madrid.
But the city amazed me. AS I
drove through the streets I esti-
mated there we're fully 100000
people strolling lazily through the
capital, oblivious to the threat OF
bombs and shells and intent only
on enjoying the sunshine.
Strange Sight
A strange spectacle presented It,
self at the end of my 1850 kilo-
meter drive from Port-Bou on the
Franco-Spanish frontier whi C h
only today was subjected to a
heavy bombardment.
At a certain spot on the road
leading to Valencia. one has to
turn to the right, proceed through
Alcala De Henares and then make
left turn into the capital.
I fully expected to find the in
vaders hammering relentlesSly at
the gates, the people PROSTATE.
But in the streets were hun
dreds of women along with the
men. Some were so heavily painted
they seemed to be done in oils"
Spain's civil war has left little
undamaged save feminine vanity.
1t was obvious, however, despite
the fact they had lost none of
their peasant plumpnesS, that the
people of Madrid are uUS eating
well. Out of five persons i ques-
toned, not one could remember
the exact date of his last meal.
Still Urged Out
Despite their outward calm, the
citizens of Madrid are being EN-.
phatically advised by Gen. Jose
Miaja, chief of the defense junta,
to evacuate the city if famine
among the civilian population is
to be avoided.
Stocks of food remaining in the
capital must be given to troops in
preference to civilians, he insists.
The GOODNESS of Madrilenos in the
situation is indeed admirable, since
the junta is making no effort to
camouflage the grave crisis on
the Madrid front and elsewhere
in the country.
In a manifesto addressed to
Socialist militiamen, Maija said j:

Organized labor plunged into a
new series of tangles and strife
today as John L. Lewis and his
clio, fresh from auto strike
battles, reopened their old feud
with the American Federation of
Labor.
A vote by the policy commit
tee of the United Mine Workers,
spearhead of the C. %. and
headed by Lewis, to expel from its
membership William Green, preSi-
ident of the A. F. of L. and for
more than 80 years member Of
the miners union, revived the old
CT. GA. F. of L. fight.
Green answered this action
with the charge of "Hitlerism"
ana an announcement he would
fight the custer with every power
at his command.

At the same time, the mine
workers completed the draft of
program of demands for wage in
creases and shorter hours in the
soft coal fields. This program will
be presented to the operators in
New York tomorrow, when formal
negotiations begin for a new wage
and hour contract for some AGO.

Besides these developments,
there were others of major impor-
tance on the labor front. They
included:

brother of John L., the c. I. o.
asked the Justice and Labor de-
partments to investigate steel
company bids under the Walsh
Healey act, asserting that con.
ditions of the bids indicated
collusion."
Fight for 4O-HOur Week
2. Both the C. I. O.. and the
A. F. of L. combined in q pro-
test against proposals to lift the
stringent labor provisions of the
Walsll-Healey act which, calling
for a 40-hour week in the manu-
factuAe of material purchased
by the Government. have BIZ *

8. Senator Walsh CD Of

modified to liberalize the string

exemption is granted by the
Labor Department to the Navy

Just before the final vote on this
was taken in the meeting of the
