Couples Wedding

unruly appendix caused the post
ponemenr of the wedding of Miss
Beth Canpbel. and Joseph H.
Short, jr., Washington newspaper
workers, at Toledo last night. The
appendix n question wasn't the

sister Of the bride-to-be.
Miss Campbell was stricken on
the train between Pittsburgh and
Cleveland. She left New York
after hel Saturday night per-
formance Of Many Mansions, "
planned on attending the wedding
and returning to New York
by airplane. Instead, she landed
in the hospital and the bride-tobe,
so upset by the sudden illness,
postponed the wedding until her

Hollands Premier

ST. LOUIS Q.N.SO.-The mem
bership of the International Mark

BY the addition of Henrik Collin,
prime minister of Holland.
Collin is the eighth prime min
lister to join the society, according
to Cyril Clemens, president and a
cousin of the famous American
huInoriSt.
Clemens said he had received
the following letter from Collin:
with real interest I took no
tice Of your letter of September
IL last, by which you were kind
enough to inform me that I have
been elected to the honorary
membership Of the international
Mark Twain Society.
"I am very much obliged to
the society for this proof of dis

ure accept the offered honor.

HOLIDAY OPERA
'HANSEL, GRETEL'.
.STIRS AUDIENCE
Shaker, HeIaI Please
Throng at RiaIto
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

The opera Huperdinck made
out of Grimm's fairy tale, Han.
sci and Gretel," has become ira
dition of the holiday season in
the composers native land and
in this country. 1t has a pious
plot and the climax of the music,
several times repeated, develops
in the prayer which has both
vocal and instrumental emphasis.
EXCELLENT CAST
His delightful work was pre-,
sented yesterday afternoon at the
Rialto for an audience of children
and their parents that nearly
filled the auditorium. The per
formance was sponsored by the
Washington Popular Opera AS
sociation, and was as pretentious
as the limitations of the theater
permitted. There was a good
orchestra to play the score in its
reduced version. The sets achieved
a considerable measure Of H.
lusion on the cramped stage. The
cast was excellent.
The artists presented the opera
in New York at the Hippodrome
last week. Bernice Shaker, the
Hansel, was, to the eye, a quite
German lad who loved
his food, and to the ear. a mezzo
of appealing voice, fine diction
and excellent music taste. Elvira
HelaI, the Gretel of the matinee,
is just as sturdy, has even greater
vocal gift and less capacity as an
actress, She, too, treats the Eng
lish language clearly and expires
Sively in song.
DIR. BAUER CONDUCTS
Philine Falco took the parts of
the mother and the violin, making
the latter a fearsome figure and
her song a matter Of expert vocal
distortion. Stephan Kozakevitch
made the best vocal display of
the afternoon in the part of the
father, a brief role but grateful.
He, too, treated the English text
with respect. Helen McLachlen
sang the Sandman's little song ef-
fectively and Ina Holtzsheiter was
just as successful with the Dew
mans ditty. DR.. Walter Bauer
conducted with care.

URGES SCHOOL
FOR U. S. SEAMEN

A detailed proposal for the i'm
mediate establishment Of a Gov
ernment training school where
trained Seamen can be produced
for the American merchant ma
rine has been made by Rear Ad.
miral H. A, Wiley, retired, Of the
United States Marine Commis-
sion.
The school, under the plans
submitted by Admiral - Wiley,
would be situated on two islands
in New York harbor. The proposal
further included a suggestion that
contracts be drawn requiring that
a specific number of the un-
licensed members of the crew of
every Government-subsidized mer-
chant ship shall be taken from
graduates OF the school. These
taken from the school would be
drawn from list of nominations
made by the Maritime CommiS-
sion.
Recommendations included in
the proposal would place three
ships at the disposal Of the train
ing school on Hoffman and SWIM
burne Islands in New York har-
Dor and the unit would be oper-
ated by the coast guard.
Rehabilitation of Hoffman Is
land, owned by the Treasury and
formerly used by the quarantine
service would be made at an ap-
proximate cost of 100000. The
course of training would cover IL
months, with 500 recruits ranging
from 18 to 23 years Of age. Enlist
ments would be made annually.

mediately and directly put Ford
out OF business. The tax trainers
are apparently going to pat him
on the back, while taking out
his heart. The plan calls for
"a slight reduction" IN the old
undistributed earnings rates,
which formerly were at a peak
Of 34.2 per cent. The new rate
schedule has not been worked
out yet.
HOWEVER, all of Mr.. Ford's
IA competitors whose stocks are
81 per cent or more in lower
rates. They will pay, under the
new schedule worked out by the
tax drafters, and already made
drafters, and already made
public, upon the following basis:
Twelve and one-half per cent
on incomes up to $4,000, and
IA per cent up to $4,000; ap-
proximately 20 per cent above
$25, 900, under certain earnings
distribution allowances which
will make the average rate Is
per cent above $4,000.
OUCH discrimination is prob
~ ably unconstitutional, and
would not be sanctioned by
Congress-, even under official
pressure. It is doubtful whether
it will survive the vote of the
full House Ways and Means
Committee. So far it has been
accepted only by the Democra-
tic majority in the sub-com.
mittee, and their decision is
tentative.
What puts most fairminded
Democratic members of Con-
gress against the idea is not
love of Ford, but of fair-play
and the impatience of certain
New Dealers who seem to be un-
willing to wait I. few years un-
til they can seize Ford's prop
erty under the confiscatory eS-
tateS tax.
The idea Of picking out a few
corporations in certain indus:
tries to put them at the mercy
Of their competitors by diScrimi-
natory taxes is likewise not gen.
orally relished. If the Govern
ment, is able to destroy one class
of taxpayers by such means, it
can use the same means to de-
stroy others later, until no cor
rorations survive except those
with Federal sanction.
THUS, all it may amount to in
l. the end the brandiShing
Of a new political threat, not
against business bigneSS, but
against one-family bignesS.
And even if it never sees the
official light Il official sanction,
it will be a historic tribute to
the ingenuousneSS of Treasury
Lawmakers. They may have
been silent lately, but they Ger
tainly have not stopped thinking
Or hating.

All of it may never get off the ground,
because there is false bottom in the basket

a thing ever was thought of, but just in

The Washington times., 1937-12-27

Plan is to advertise the cor.
porate tax revision as a face
saving device. That is, the Ad-
ministration will not itself deny
that the arrangement is purely
a measure to save its face on
the old earnings distribution
tax which proved so unpopular
(the revision of which business
has eagerly been awaiting).
NUB of the face-saving scheme
IN will be a series of exemp-
tons.
First there would be flat
exemption of $4,000 or 80 per
cent of the net income of cor
porations, whichever is the
greater. This would abandon
the tax upon all corporations
earning less than $4,000 net in
come a year, and would permit
those with larger incomes to
deduct 80 per cent of their large
incomes before computing the
tax. It would appear to be vir-
tually a repeal of the tax.
A second exemption would
further limit application of the
tax to corporations which do
not distribute so per cent of
their net income in dividends.
This, of course, would be a sop
to the oliphant theorists who
inaugurated the tax for the an
nounced purpose of forcing cor
porationS to pay out their earn
tngs to the public.
GO far, so good. Then comes
~ the joker. A final exemp-
ton says the tax will still fur
ther not apply at all to corpo-
rationS, whose stock is 81 per
cent or more in public hands.
This might be advertised Of
ficially as an effort to catch
only one-family holding corpora
tions formed for the purpose Of
evading taxes. That is, those
strictly personal corporations
which do not distribute divi-
dends and thus the owners
avoid payment of income sur
taxes. Call other corporations
except these are to be relieved"
