fool had run his car halfway across the lawn and
practically into the flower bed Best thing to
DO was to get it back into the driveway before
Doris saw the damage. Poor "Toddy'' was up
set enough without having cut-up lawn added
to everything else. So Ken climbed in and care
fully backed Georges car
Until he re-entered the house he was not
aware that the radio had been turned on. In
the living room the rugs had been ripped up and
flung toward the walls. The big rug, the eleven
by-fifteen, had been crumpled on top of the
couch and its adjacent magazine table.
libby and George were dancing cheek to
cheek
Across the room Ken saw Doris, standing
rigid in the farther doorway
Performing an intricate whirl, George backed
libby into the Sheraton table at the left of the
fireplace. The table teetered, fell 1t carried
with 1t the reading lamp, love of lamp
fashioned from an ancient Chinese vase.
Doris and Ken got there too late. Automat-
lcally they knelt and began picking up the
shattered pieces George and libby we're sorry.
They said so.
Without facial expression Doris said: Lets
go to the Shore Club Then we can really dance.

Then she moved her lips
close to Ken's ear. 81 know
it'll cost us plenty" she
whispered violently, but
it'll be cheaper than what's
starting here. Besides, Ken, l
don't have to wash dishes
and glasses at the Shore

libby yelped with delight
when the Shore Club was
mentioned. The place - at
two dollars a head to get in -
was a sort of glorified road
house.
II just adore the Shore
Club" said libby. Then she
fled upstairs.
George and Edgar helped
Doris and Ken with picking
up the pieces of the Chinese
lamp. Using a dustpan Ken
manipulated the remains of
the lamp into the garbage
pail. Using George and Ed
gar he got the rugs back into
place. Using his voice he
asked what on earth libby
was doing now.
"She's changing her dress,
naturally" said Doris.
Twenty minutes dragged
by. When libby at length was
ready to appear she an
nounced herself from the
head of the stairs by cooling,
"Yoo-hoo!" And then she
f1oated down. She foated
down in a frock of apple
green taffeta, the upper part
of which, from the waist
north, encased her like a coat
of flexible paint. Doris gaped
at her. So did Ken. Then
Doris and Ken gaped at each
other. Unless they we're crazy
the dress belonged to Doris.
Not only that - it was Doris

to Plug LoophoIes.

0S thN ASbOSldLeu FISSss
House leaders predicted yesterday
there would be little opposition TO
enactment OF legislation at this ses-
sion to plug "loopholes" in the tax
laws through which the Treasury says
the Government is losing millions OF
dollars in revenue.
The congressional committee study
ing tax dodgng expects to decide
Tuesday whether to begin drafting the
remedial legislation Immediately or
to subpoena some OF the wealthy
individuals named by the Treasury
as having used the ''loopholes
The Treasury completed a two-week
description Of the tax reduction de-
vices Friday after presenting a long
list OF names OF men and women it
said had used personal holding COM
panies and other devices to cut their
tax bills.
Republican members of the COM
mittee have contended there never
was any need for the public hearings
because the Treasury had all the in
formation necessary TO remedy the
situation.
Indications were that some OF the
controversial sections of the tax laws
such as the capital gains provision,
taxation OF community property and
allowances granted Oil and mining
companies for depletion, would be left
for next year.

INCOME TAXURGED
| ON j. s. EMPL0YE
House Member Proposes
Amendment to Widen
Scope of Levy.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,

Chairman Cochran of the House
Committee on Expenditures, today
introduced an amendment to the Con-
stitution, which would require every
Federal official and employe, elected
or appointed, to make a Federal in
come tax return on his or her salary,
and also require an income tax to the
State of which he or she Is a legal
resident
His proposal also would require all
State officials and State employees to
make Federal income tax returns on
their salaries. 1t further would re-
quire officials and employees of all
national and State banks, members
of the Federal Reserve System, to
pay income tax to the States on their
salaries.
The necessity for this legislation
grows out of the constitutional pro-
vision which does not require a Fed
eral official or employe to pay State
income tax, and does not require the
President or members of the Federal
judiciary to pay Federal income tax"
SOSllIdH ShplhuItu. flc pOlIlUtu OuI,
however, that although the salary is
considered exempt, all Presidents of
the United States since enactment of
the income tax law, have paid an
| income tax to the Government on
their salaries.
Another reason for offering the
amendment, Cochran said, is that in
the case of Brush VS. Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, March Is, 1887. the
Supreme Court by a 7-to-2 decision
with Justices Brandeis and Roberts
dissenting, held in effect that State
officials and State employees are not
subject to Federal income tax on the
salary they receive.
A third reason given by Cochran is
that officials and employees of ma
tional and State banks, members of the
Federal Reserve system, are taking
advantage of a decision by the Social
Security Board, holding that the banks
are instrumentalities of the Govern
ment. Officials and employees Of the
banks thus place themselves in the
same category as Federal employe
and therefore are not making returns
on their salaries to the various States
