Old Trickery Again Being Used
In Writing Views of President
That Intangible Personality the white House Spokesman
Is Back on the Job; Makes Goats of Writer'S; Taxes
Blamed for Added Burden Business Carries.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington D. C.

WASHINGTON. - The "White
House Spokesman" is back! That
ghostly, shy and sometimes playful
figure has been resurrected from
the grave where President Roose-
welt inferred his intangible person
atty early in March, 1888. He was
placed there with proper ceremo-
MES by Mr.. Roosevelt after his
witchlike voice had served during
the administrations of Presidents
Coolidge and Hoover, and after he
had served valiantly as the source
of one inspired news story after
another. Mr.. Roosevelt unmasked
the white House Spokesman" as
just the President of the United
States, speaking behind his hand.
But 10! Here is that man again.
I could not help laughing bit
the other day when the "White
House Spokesman" reappeared on
the front pages of metropolitan daily
newspapers, in the work-a-day
clothes of authoritative White
House sources" Grieving as most
writer's did that this trickery had to
be employed in order to write
Presidents views, enjoyed the hui
NOR of the situation, nevertheless.
If the White House Spokesman was
going to be reborn, what more prop
er place could there be than Hyde
Park, N. Y, the Presidents sum-
mer home. That delightful home on
the banks of the Hudson river is
only about the length of an air.
plane runway from the fiction
scenes of nightly riding by "the
headless horseman of Sleepy Hol-
low"
But restoration of the "White
House Spokesman" to his place of
eminence is a serious matter. Use
of such a disguise, such a mask,
has no place in American life. Many
a time in the period when Calvin
Coolidge and Herbert Hoover occu-
pied the White House, there were
stories sent to all parts of the ma
ton that came from the "White
House Spokesman" 1t was a silly
procedure. 1t was both silly and
cheap. The head of the government
was simply using the correspond
ents as vehicles to carry the respOn-
sibility which the then occupant of
the White House should have as
Sumed.
Some stories were trial balloons;
some were expressions of person
al opinion by the President which
he was not quite ready to espouse
publicly, and others were pieces of
just plain trickery, given out with
the understanding that the Presi-
dent should not be directly quoted.
The course was adopted, so it was
claimed, as a means of giving the
writer's all of the available facts
right up to the minute.

Just Kidding and Pooling
Readers of Newspapers

Well, without questioning the sim
cerity of purpose, the fact remains
that the writer's were the goats. And
here they are being made the goats
again, and the public, the readers
of newspapers, are to be kidded and
fooled some more. What's the ex-
cuse? There is none. It is the same
old ostrich and the same old sand in
which he is hiding his head; so why
do it?
The present, and rejuvenated,
"White House Spokesman" had
good deal to say, behind this shad-
owy veil, about the desirability of a
truce between business and labor, a
truce with the administration in
Washington. The bitterness between
industry and government was made
almost into a parallel with Euro
pean conditions, and the "Spokes-
man" went further to suggest that
some method of getting together,
comparable to the European settle
ment," should be used here.
Well, I imagine there is none in
our country who do not hope for,
and believe in the need of, a lasting
peace between business and govern
ment. AS the shadowy form said,
as it foated over Hyde Park, there
has been too much name calling,
too many charges and recrimina-
tons. The condition has slowed up
general business; it has made the
relief rolls full to overfowing. But
when the ''White House Spokesman"
seeks a settlement" like that at
Munich, Germany, where Dictator
Hitler grabbed everything he want
ed-well, let me observe that it was
a swell subject as an illustration
why the ''White House Spokesman"
should remain in his gravel
There was another phase of the
"Spokesman's" backfence snarling
that is bound to disturb the neigh
boris sleep. It was tantamount to
demand that business stop misrep-
resenting the governments attitude
this being the New Deal attitude
toward business. That is to say,
there was yelled charge that bust
ness, which is to say, 'the economic
royalists," have been lying about
the governments programs and OBJ
jectives, no mention being made of
some of the abortive results.

strove to push Catholicism into the
background, to raise Austrian
youth in Nazi theology instead of
Catholic theology.
When Cardinal Innitzer protested,
mob strongly reminiscent of the
Middle ages descended on his pal
ace, made it a shambles, threw 60
year-old Father Johann Kravanik
from a second-story window. The
Cardinal himself was cut by flying
glass but appeared next morning at
Vienna's famed st. Stephens cathe-
dral.
Only official Nazi answer to Vati-
can protests has been shoulder
struggling, but Vienna's mob scene
may have far-reaching effects. AL
ready seen is a surging German re-
ligious revival which is bound to
crash headlong into the states DOM
ineering program. From this point,
Germany might either become an
anti-Christ state or modify its re-
igious position. Meanwhile, church
and state are girding for battle.

WASHINGTON.-In the first quar-

complaint, because federal taxes
are higher; there are more of them
In number and the rates on nearly
all the old ones are higher. Treas

government collected So, ,00O, 900
In taxes five years ago. The same
official figures show collections of
more than $4,100, 1000, 900 three years
5 ago, and in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1887, the collections were
announced as $500, 100000. Then,
on June 80, this year, the official
figures recorded collections of
$6,240, 100000. To be absolutely fair,
it must be considered that business
was at its lowest ebb five years
ago. Hence, tax payments were at
the lowest. But, without attempting
to cite all of the increases in rates
and new taxes invoked, new taxes
and new rates have been RESPONSE
BILE, too, for the increased burden
which business carries.
1t is important, also, in connec-
ton with the consideration of taxes
to call attention to the federal gov
ernment's budget condition. At the
end of September, when the first
quarter of the fiscal year was COM
pleted, there was a deficit of more
than $500, 000,0 900. The Treasury had
been called upon to pay out $780,
100000 more than it had taken in
by way of taxes. If my country
school multiplication still serves
me, there is deficit indicated for
the current fiscal year of approx
mately $4,000, 00O,0 900 since there are
four quarters in each year. It may

IF YOU take a woman's size,
you'll certainly enjoy having
both of these smart, new, slender
izing styles. They're extremely
becoming, and made up in mate
rails and colors of your own choos-
ing, they will be the joy of your
life, one for house work, and the
other for afternoon and dinner en-
gagements. Both of these dresses
are so very simple to make that
you'll thoroughly enjoy doing it.
Each pattern includes a detailed
sew chart for the guidance of be-
ginners.
The House Dress.
Notice how very practical and
comfortable this dress is, with ev-
cry detail you want for working
freedom and slim lines. Darts
make the waistline slim and neat,
but not tight. The arrnholes are
ample, the sleeves very short, and
slashed for greater freedom. The
skirt has sufficient, unhampering
fullness at the hem. It's dia-
gram design, that you can finish
in a few hours. For this, choose
percale, calico, or gingham.
The Afternoon Dress.
Just wait to see how nice and
slim your hips look, in this clev-
erly designed dress, with just a
little fullness above the waist to
emphasize the slick, smooth cut
below. This design gives you the
fashionable bodice detailing, in
soft, frightening jabot drapes that
have a dressy, but not a fussy,
look. Bishop sleeves are another
new and very becoming style,
most fattering to large women.
This dress will be lovely in velvet,
crepe satin, thin wool or silk
crepe.

Politics

On Tuesday, November 8, the
United States will elect an entire
house of representatives, one-third
of its senate and a host of COVER
nors. Since U. S. politics swings
back and forth from Republican to
Democratic domination, since the
Democratic swing which began in
1888 has reached and passed its
peak, the safest prediction is that
Republicanism will start swinging
back into power this year.
Obviously, it is Franklin Roose-
velt's ambition to stymie Repub-
lican comeback. But his chief in
terest in last summers primaries
was not Republicanism, but the con-
struction of a coherent liberal party
through so-called purge" tactics.

Religion

Last March, just before Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler marched into
Austria, Vienna's Theodore Cardi-
nal Innitzer urged Catholics to vote
for German annexation as a means
of blocking Communism. Though
Cardinal Innitzer knew German
Catholics had suffered at the Reich's
hands, he pumped for Naziism be-
cause Herr Buerckel, Hitler's rep
resentative, had quoted the Saviour:
Render unto. Caesar that which
is Caesars and unto God that which
is Gods"
Criticized by the Vatican, Cardi-
nal Innitzer moreover was to learn
that Caesar" Hitler would take all
he could get, shearing every vestige
of power from the Catholic church.
Early in September the cardinal
protested when marriage was made
a state affair, when Catholic schools
were frowned upon, when Catholic
nuns were ousted from hospitals.
Later he complained when priests
were denied the right of administer
ing church comforts to political pris-
oners. The state, it was apparent,

sion that not even Mr.. Chamber
lain trusts Adolf Hitler or Benito
Mussolini very far.
Meanwhile, France has been
quick to make peace with Italy
by recognizing her conquest of Ethi-
opia. Her parliament, by over
whelmingly approving the Munich
pact, agreed that no price was too
high for peace even though it meant
RELOCATING France to the position of
a second-rate power. But sorely-
taxed Frenchmen want to know why
they must pay for huge army and
navy that refuses to fight.
There are other signs, as well.
The resignation of Czech President
Eduard Benes in the face of grow
ing public sentiment against weak
kneed democracies, indicates that
Czechoslovakia is giving in to de-
mands for cooperation with the
Rome-Berlin axis. It is almost
humorous to reflect that Great Brit
ain has agreed to defend Czecho-
slovakia's integrity. Even more
tragic is Chancellor Hitler's demand
for PREPARATIONS from Czechoslo-
vakia, to be paid out of the $3.50, 000,-
600 loan recently granted the Czechs
by Great Britain.

The "White House Spokesman"
suggestion about a truce and CO.
operative effort between business
and government brought a response
from Charles M. Hook, president of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, who assured the Presi-
dent that "there will be no rafting
of sabers as far as the manufac-
turers are concerned" He said
there would be an upward surge in
business eff there is encouragement
from leaders in public life" I am
not able to say what is meant by
the mo saber rafting" beyond the
obvious meaning of a willingness
to keep the collective business
mouth shut.
Actually, it appears the crux of
the whole problem is to be found in
the fact that throughout the Roose-
Welt administration there are many
officials who blab and blab and have
little or no idea of the matter they
are discussing, while on the business
side of the fence the fellows who
pop off most are incapable of far
vision.

Taxation

Though campaigning politicians

congress will probably turn the in

mare. With another federal deficit
in prospect, with high income
brackets already taxed to the linn
it, the solution will be broadening
of tax base on middle and low in
come groups, i. e., the man making
less than $4,000 year. Present
exemptions are 81 900 for single per-
sons, $4,000 for married persons,
with $500 extra for each dependent
under IL years of age. If 2,067, 736
persons filed 1885 returns on that
basis, an estimated 100000 would
yield from $2OO,0O0,000 to $500, 000,-
900 more under the proposed plan
for reducing exemptions to $500
for single persons, $1,000 for mar
ried persons and 5000 for depend
ents. Chief victims would be those
