Hope Large Tourist Income Will
Offset Unfavorabje Trade
Balance

Paris, Apr. o.-(R-France allowed
the franc to sag Friday to attract
tourists this summer.
The treasury has decided upon .
cheaper franc, financial circles re-
ported, with the possibility the rate
may 60 to the low Of 2206 francs to
the dollar agreed upon In the tri-
partite monetary agreement.
At noon, the rate was 4.4e4 cents
per franc, . decline Of almost AZ per
cent from the 45o3 rate before the
drop started Thursday. During early
trading Friday, the rate was allowed
to sag from z63o cents to the 4.46A
figure, equivalent respectively to 22.03
and 22.30 to the dollar.
"a rate Of 22.96 to the United States
dollar Is the equivalent Of 4.277 cents

nancial sources predicted.
With this expectation. the commits

rate has decided 70 offer the cheapest
franc In four years, It was said. This
three-inan body. backed by unre-
stricted authority to regulate the cur
rency under the new monetary laws,
may not choose to let the franc hit
the ATT cent low, but experts pre-
dicted It might remain near that fig
ure.
Treasury officials pointed out the
francs position ct the present differs
from the situation several months ago
when the equalization fund was forced
to stand by while the currency slid
downward.
Now, they said, the fund Is amply
replenished to hold the franc where
1t may best benefit the economic
situation. With an unfavorable trade
balance and pounds sterling and dol
lars demanded for payment Of an ex-
cess In imports over exports, the COM
mission hoped to offset this position
with . large tourist income.
The money market was still react

would be put over very easily. I'm
not sure but what they can be put
over in the Senate anyway"
La Follette's plan would reduce the
personal exemption for married tax
payers from $2,500 to $4,000 and the
exemption for single persons from
$1,000 to $500. He said the amend
ment would bring the Government
$1l0, ,000, 900 In new revenue, OF which
only 100000 would be contributed
by new taxpayers, the remainder COM
ing from those who are now subject
to some tax.
His proposal for higher surtaxes,
he said. would bring in $247,800,-
600 in new revenue.
THE issue is not whether the budQ-
ct should be balanced or not but what
size it should be and how 1t should be
balanced" La Toilette said.
Drastic Cuts Impossible.
He said the economic situation made
1t impossible to make any drastic re-
uuctlon IN expenditures because of the
necessity Of providing opportunity
for public employment"
TOO drastic a reduction in public
expenditure would cause another eco
nomic recession" La Toilette said. "As
a matter Of fact, think we have re-
duced expenditures too far already;
part Of the recession in business at
the present time is undoubtedly due
to the fact that public expenditures
were about $3,OOO,0Oo,o00 under last
year"
He said the only drastic increase
the administration had made in taxes
applied only to incomes OF S50,O0O
and over. The Senator added that he
did not believe it just not to make a
proportionate increase In the rates
on lower incomes.

american Artists IN Star Series
COuer POst-CiuiI War Era
Pioneer WulsIOw Homer Vas FOLLOWED
by Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt,
Portrait Painters With a Ne,U Style.

In 1875. according to Simon, the
Pennsylvania Academy Of the Fine
Arts, Oldest of art institutes in Amer
lea and inheritor of Victoria tradi-
tions, could not see the relationship
between anatomy and nudity.
When young Eakins, newly returned
from Paris, was appointed to teach
life and anatomy classes, he empha-
sized direct study from the nude hui
man body. He was regarded, for his
pains, as daring. contrary individual,
whose motives were a subject for
speculation. The buzz Of converse
ton around every tea table rose to an
uproar, and Eakins was forced to re-
sign.
There were valiant spirits who
rose to his defense" Simon says.
They formed the Art Students
League Of Philadelphia and invited
Eakins to become its instructor. The
league did not last long. Eakins'
teaching career was ended. And to
give point to the story and show how
profoundly it affected him, he painted
no nudes thereafter.
"Eakins was a simple and natural
man, inclined to be silent-expressing
himself best in his chosen medium,
paint. Even his choice Of words had
simplicity. He would say workshop
rather than studio and painter
rather than artist"
Eakins' greatest fame was in por-
traiture and as painter Of surgeons
and scientists at work. He refused to
natter the subjects of his portraits.
This was not often appreciated by
sitters, nor was it financially success
full. His Lady With a Setter" in the
nrst picture group, depicts his wife
and their dog. Eakins was born in
1874. He died in 1916.
Mary Cassatt.
The whole world had heard of the
gay and romantic Bohemia that was
Paris Of the 1905" Simon says. Its
symbols were blue velvet and long
haired, starved looking individuals
seated in cafes; book beer was the staff
OF life, and unpaid rent bills under
studio doors spelled impending doom.
yet it was an environment in spite
OF the romancers, and the romancers
were not far from the actuality, which
Mary Cassatt, a young American girl,
found conducive to serious, undis-
turbed and ceaseless study. Beside the
esthetic shams, beside the shirkers
and the cafe conversationalists there
were other sights to see. There we're
galleries filled with pictures, dealers
with their windows well stocked and
some new, disturbing and electrifying
painters. who were also seriously At
work."
Mary Cassatt was never married.
Her own moral code was . rigid one.

LAF0[LETTEASKS
BROADER TAX BASE
Higher Surtaxes on Middle
Incomes Also Favored.
Treasury's Bill Hit.
Nv the Associsted press

BY the Associated Press.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive, OF
Wisconsin called the Treasury's pro-
posed tax bill "a great mistake" yes
terday and promised to renew his fight
for a broader income tax base and
higher surtaxes on middle bracket in
comes.
Advocating a pay-as-you-go policy,
La Toilette has sought for several years
to obtain legislation to reduce per-
sonal exemptions of income taxpayers
and to tax middle-bracket earners
more nearly In proportion to the tax
on incomes over $4,000.
When Congress renewed the "nui-
sance" tax schedule at the last ses-
sion, the Senate voted 35 to 81 to
accept La Follettes proposal for higher
surtax rates on middle bracket in
comes. 1t reconsidered the vote later
and rejected the proposal, AZ to 20.
Il am disappointed that the Treas
ury has taken the attitude It has," the
Wisconsin Progressive told reporters,

Her greatest fame came in painting
mother and child pictures.
She was born in Pittsburgh in l845.
Her father was . banker and her

France at the age OF 5. but she was
to return, for France became the land

Thomas Benton.
II don't know whether it's art or
not" Thomas Benton said to an OBJ
server as she stood looking at his
American Epic Murals."
And I don't care" he added.
What I wanted to show was the en-
ergy, the rush and confusion of Amer
lean life" In this tremendous and
overpowering mural design and in
the others he has executed 1t is plain
that he has shown all these, and the
critics agree that it is art, Simon
said.
Benton. born in 1889, employs a
technique that may we'll apply to his
own life. Rapid tempo and colorful
activity characterize his movements
from the beginning. BY 19, he had
travelled about the neighborhood OF his
birthplace at Neosho, Mo-, the sight
Of long-haired Indian braves was a
familiar one to him; he had been a
surveyors assistant in the Ozark wilds;
he had been employed on the Joplin
American to make political cartoons;
he had studied at the Chicago Art In
stitute and had arrived in Paris.
He applied himself to classics in
the Louvre and in 1912 was back in
New York, sharing studio with Rex
Ingram, later famous as a moving pic
ture director. In 1918 he worked for
the United States Navy, assisting in
the camouflaging Of warships.
His leisure was occupied in reflec-
ton. He thought, especially, of an
American historic epic in paint. It
was to be a vast mural project, deal
ing with the ideals and arts Of all sec
tions Of the country With his plan
for the American epic taking form,
he tramped over the United States
after the war, always with eyes open
and receptive mind. In hobo jungles,
in Negro crap games. in mechanized
farms, and in the low dives of the
cities, he discovered the land that was
America in the 20s, and added to it
his memories of the almost forgotten
frontier Of his childhood.
"Of this material" according to
Simon, "he made mural designs, bold
and striking, never pompous. 1t was
his hope that one day the opportunity
OF painting this vast panorama would
present itself. 1t came-from Joseph
Urban, who asked Benton to design
the walls for the New School for Social
Research in New York"
