immoral to invest in taX-exempt Sc

Leading off the discussion on the
resolution Chairman O'Connor Of the
Rules Committee referred to Morgan,
but not by name
I'm statement to the press on yes
terday," he remarked, "a great f1nan-
cier defended the use of such (tax
evasion) loopholes and passed the
blame to Congress for being so stupid
as to leave the holes open
That, of course, is no answer In
morals. Some taxpayers, in crawling
through these loopholes, so stretch the
holes that the world no longer recog-
nizes them as holes"
United States Chamber of Com
merce officials said the inquiry may
permit business representatives to
make suggestions for revision of the
tax laws.
Fred H ClauSen, chairman of the
Chambers Federal Finance Commit
tee, said in statement that the
profits tax "discriminates against cor
porations in financial difficulty to the
advantage of their well-flnanced COM
petitors."
1T is doubtful" he added, "if the
Federal Government ever has adopted
piece Of major legislation which is
more inequitable and more discrimi
natory, Or with greater disregard OF
the harmful effects upon the national
business structure"
The undistributed profits levy was 8
part of the 1886 revenue act. 1t was
designed as tWo-Way instrument fol
increasing Federal income.
On corporations which retain profits
it imposed taxes ranging from 7 te
q per cent. Corporations which dis.
tribute profits to avoid the tax in.
crease incomes of their stockholders
who thus were subject to higher in.
dividual income taxes.

.LUDKE WILL TAKE
FLAG CASE HIGHER
Circuit Court UphoIds School
Board in Expulsion of
Six Children.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, June g.
Appeal from a Circuit Court order
upholding the expulsion of the six
Ludke children from Prince Georges
County schools was planned today by
attorneys for the youngsters who re-
fused to salute the American flag.
August A. Ludke of Silver Hill, an
employe in the Washington Post ONCE
and father OF the children, said the
case would be carried to whatever
lengths possible"
The youngsters were refused ad-
mission to the Oxon Hill Consolidated
School last Fall, after they declined
to take the Oath Of Allegiance to the
flag at daily patriotic exercises. They
said their action was based on tenets
of the Jehovahs Witnesses, religious
sect.
Reaffirm Their Stand.
Ranging in age from to IA years,
the children failed to join in the
patriotic exercises more than a year
ago. They were permitted to finish
the school semester, but the senior
Ludke was warned by the Prince
Georges County Board of Education
that they would be barred from at
tendance the next Fall If their refusa
persisted. When the youngsters re.
affirmed their stands, on the basis
that the salute put the flag before
God, and therefore violated the Ter
Commandments" they were not per.
mitted to enter school last September
Seeking reinstatement of his chill
dren, Ludke, through Attorneys Ed

vances in every other respect, our Jail
system is still in the dark ages"
The commission, headed by State
Senator Vivian Page Of Norfolk, ap-
proved the following methods OF
carrying out the five recommended
tions:
Abandonment Of jails as places OF
sentence serving-consolidati of the
1l9 jails into a smaller group to be
used only to house persons awaiting
trial.
Pointing to the recent trio Of fires
in small Virginia lockups, in which
three prisoners were cremated, the
report said that most of the present
jails are insecure and are operated
by men who are unframed in jail
work.
Establishment Of regional farms
at least three regional farms should
be established in the State, accord
ing to population areas. The report
estimated the farms could be estab-
lished for 100000 each.
Other Suggestions.
Replacement Of officers fees with
| salaries-present methods Of compen-
sating officers on the the fee basis
should be abandoned and these Of
| ficials paid fair and equitable SAL
aries.
The report stated that no one knows
what these officers are receiving at
present, least of all themselves"
Indeterminate sentences: Upon the
adoption OF the indeterminate SEN
tence as fixed policy hinges the ef-
fectiveness Of almost all the other
reforms, the report said.

pairing one.
Similar action was recently taken in
nearly parallel cases by courts in Mas
sachusetts and New Jersey. The Ludke
case, according to current plans, will
now be carried to the Maryland Court
Of Appeals.
Since their expulsion the children
Ruth, IA; Frances, 13; Frederick, 12;
Anna Louise, 10; Walter, 8, and Es-
ther, 7-have been receiving private
instruction at home. Ludke said today
that the domestic classes had recessed

Hollywood BeCkOnS MONTAGUE

man.
Montague is coming back to
California to "pick and choose" his
future. He no longer fears pub

licity "build-up" as no man has
had in sports since Babe Ruth.
BACK TO GOLF
Montague is determined to put
himself in fine condition and then
step out in competitive golf, but
not as a professional.
Scores of congratulatory tele-
grams were sent Montague by
Hollywood friends when he was
acquitted.
When charges were preferred
against him, Montague sent in his
resignation to the Lakeside Golf
Club here. Whether he will apply
for readmittance to the club re-

Rain is DEFIED
FOR NAVY DAY

Marines and sailors attached to
posts in the District and vicinity
struggled manfully through a
drenching downpour yesterday to
make Navy Day worth while for
135,18O visitors who braved the
weather at the Washington Navy
Yard.
Although a few of the outdoor
spectacles were washed out" the
rain subsidized a the last moment
to permit staging of the sham bat
tie between a Marine landing
party and a detachment of sail
orS costumed as "insurrectos." The
crowd, mostly children, decided
that after the Marines "had landed
and had the situation well in hand
they had been amply repaid for
their day-long wait in the wet.
Before the climax, the visitors
entertained themselves by watch
ing the work in the yards forges
and by inspecting the gunboat, de-
stroyer and Coast Guard ship an
chored at the wharves. The sched-
uled ceremonies, though sparsely
attended, were held despite the
rain at the monument to John
Paul Jones and Commodore John
Barry.
Other visitors also took advan.
tage of the invitation to visit the
Navay Observatory and watch the
scientists of the Navy at work.

And so it goes from $50 a. m.
to 5 p. m. six days a week. In the
telephone room at the Franklin
School, Thirteenth and K Sts., N.
w., two operators are kept busy
manipulating the five trunk and
ten District lines that handle the
business of Washington's public
schools.
Human encyclopedias, they have
a fund of information at their
finger-tips. They've got to. 1t may
be that those magic words, Board
of Education" are taken too liter
ally but folks assume the operators
know all the answers. Occasionally
they get stumped as did one when
the party on the other end wanted
to know:
What is the method of prov
ing long division?"
But other questions such as:
when is the best season to plant
roses?" and Il live in the $500
block of Wisconsin Avenue-to
what school shall I send my child?"
are mere bagatelleS.
Rainy days are the busiest be-
cause parents want to know
whether the schools close early.
Sometimes it seems as if every
mother in the city is calling. But
the operators don't mind. They
know if the weather is clear when
Johnny starts out and it rains be-
fore noon he'll get wet, and wet
clothes cause pneumonia.
PATIENCE AND TACT
In many cases poorer children
have only one change of clothing
For this reason school authorities
The Washington times., 1937-10-28

give them permission to remain
home for the rest of the day.
However, if it is raining when a
child starts out in the morning he
is generally fortified against in.
clement weather.
Being telephone operator re.
ouires patience and tact despite
the fact that most people are kind
and considerate. It's no job for
a nervous person.
The operators at the Franklin
School have been there so long
they remember voices and most
folks are just tickled pink when
they call 'em by name.
And last but not leaSt-they
chew gum to keep their tongues
moist. Talking all day-even for
a woman-is tough on the throat.
