Interesting in that the ugly duckling
genius of the theater was entirely
oblivious of himself. He was down
here on cause That it turned out
to be temporarily maybe perma-
mently) lost cause did not dim the
luster OF performance that must
have consumed several thousand kilo-
watts Of the virtually notorious Mere
dith energy.
Gimme" might have been the title
OF the Meredith drama. The first act
was laid (rather like an egg, it turned
out) in the office Of Aubrey Williams,
acting w. P. A. administrator. Al
though the press was barred, it seeped
out some way or other later that there
was nicely edged interchange be-
tween the committee and Mr.. Will
hams. 1t was superinduced, this de-
partment's spies reported, by the i'm
pllcation, maybe unwilling, that the
Government expected more than it
got for its previously spent dimes in
the field of art. Subsequent discussion
OF the point developed that no one was
blaming anyone, but that nearly
everyone was unsatisfed.
It was all ironed out before Meredith
and his troupe departed. Everyone,
indeed, was full of sweetness and light
about it. Mr.. Williams was sorry
that he couldn't give more money to
art projects and the people who
wanted the additional money were
sorry, too. The issue, one gathered,
was left slightly open with both sides
mumbling to the effect that if any
thing turned up, old fellow, they'd let
each other know. Nothing probably
will turn up, but the door of hope is
left open by that kind of ending.
4 Y X
HE second act of Gimme" which
was full of sound and a flash Of
3ury here and there, involved two
scenes. The first was laid in a taxi,
where Mr.. Meredith, F. Cowles Strick-
lana and newspaper man ran verbally
through the condition of the American
theater while dashing over the ice to
the House Office Building where
SeSH SS$AltdllNC OllOFlCll Ol new Y 0fk
was the objective Mr.. Sirovich was
not there when the party arrived, so
the scene shifted to the coffee shop in
the Capitol Building, where Mr.. Mere
dith, never ceasing to talk about Fed
eral theater projects, the plight of the
actor, etc, managed to gobble a
chicken sandwich, seize the check with
the gesture Of man who once was
uncertain OF the next dime. and
promise "Strick" that some day they
would get together and pay off
couple of plays they owe several hun
dred New York subscribers to the
social theater. 1t was an enterprise
they shared in the pre-prosperity (for
them) days.

 Installing new equipment not only would stimulate the capital goods industry producing the equip ment, he said, but would help the plants which bought it to lower costs of manufacturing consumer goods. Thus at one blow purchas- ing power would be increased on two fronts.

PRESENTS MANY PROBLEMS

Already the Congressional tax technicians are more concerned about difficulties of putting ''in- centive taxes" into effect than about what they might do to reVe- nue, although that of course ultl- mately will be the primary consld- eration. Badly applied, an lncen- tive tax might unbalance competl- ton among rival companies and in the end disrupt business even more seriously than the undistrib- uted profits tax.
 One thing is certain, More gov- ernment revenue must be had and it can come only from two sources. One is from sterner and broader levies, and the other from in- creased national earnings which will turn out more revenue under present rates.

Shot-o-Second Rifles for U. S. Army
Ne1U Gun Makes One Soldier Equal to FiUe in Warfare

The United States Army will
shortly be equipped with a new
mystery type of semiautomatic
rifle which will increase every sol
dier'S death-dealing potentialities
by five times, it was learned last
night.
The gun, which an infantryman
can fire so shots per minute was
perfected after years of secret ex
perimentation. It will supplant
the old Springfield rifle which has
been in use since 1903 and with
which a soldier can fire from IL
to Is shots per minute.
Plans call for the new weapon
to be made standard infantry
equipment as soon as possible. If
it proves ucceSsful-and military
experts say it Willis use prob.
ably will be extended to the Navy
and to the Marine Corps.
Military StrategiStS said that the
effect of the gun will be to increase
the destructive powers Of the
Army's present enlisted strength
ITS, 900 men-by five times, or, to
the equivalent Of 900 men be
cause each man will be capable OF
firing five times more bullets than
possible with the Springfield.
To this figure they add 100000

Serious Business

THIS is not being done just
l. for Federal fun. It is Gov
eminent business of extraordi-
nary seriousness.
When a buyer goes to a cotton
farmer, or vice versa, the farmer
must produce his card before
his cotton. If the farmer has a
white card, everything Is fine.
The buyer car buy all he wants.
But if a farmer should happen
to turn out to be a loathsome
goat, and shows a red card,
things Immediately become very
complicated for him.
The buyer must then make a
record of every bale bought and
send a complete report to the
AAA at once. for the first thing.
Then the farmers quota is
marked on his card, be he sheep
or goat. If goat, and he wants
to sell more than the card al
lowed him to produce, the buyer
must collect 2 cents a pound
penalty tax from him on the
surplus-and send the money to
the AAA.
If red goats sell less than
their quota (they might dis
tribute their products to several
buyers), the buyers must report
just how much he bought and
point out that it is not in sx-
cess Of the quota.
The AAA keeps track of these
reports through a long and
tedious system of checking, so if
any red goat escapes, Govern
ment agents will descend upon
him and nick him for his pen
alphabetically, at any rate.
Thus is the AAA making
democracy work"
The Washington times., 1938-07-05
EUerybOdy's Number

THE regulations contain about
l. 22,56O legal words, so it may
be dangerous to say what is
and what is not in them, but
first reading fails to disclose
what will happen to anyone
counterfeiting white cards, or to
a white sheep who might rent
his card out to a red goat after
a hailStorm, etc.
Whatever it is, it will unq'les-
tionably be dire, as the AAA is
powerful and will eventually
have on file every worthwhile
fact about every farmer-as
well as his number.
Incidentally, when all the
workers have their social secu-
rity serial numbers and the
farmers have theirs, the Gov
ernment will have practically
everybody's number.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE for
w drawing the color line on
cotton farmers is a matter OF
confusing debate. Wallace's
friends blame it on Congress.
They say it is in the law. But
they wrote the law, or most Of
it.. This card distribution pro-
vision, however, is one which
they insist they did not write.
Obviously they are heSitant
about public reaction to it, al
though they do not know any
better means of enforcing what
they are trying to do.
