Committees discussions, was an en-
thusiastic spokesman for his col
leagues.
The rules change that allows three
incomplete forward passes to be
thrown into the end zone in the same
series of downs without the loss Of
the ball will be great help to the
offense near the goal line" he said.
This is one of the best innovations
that has come into football in q
long time Now the defense must stay
back and guard against a possible
second or third pass. Thus all phases
of attack will be greatly improved.
and there should be more scoring"
Little disclosed that both the
coaches and the N. c. A. A. commit
tees gave considerable thought to
permitting forward passing from less
that yards back before deciding this
change would not be any help to Of
fensive football"
They are right" Little added.
His former assistant. Herb Kopf,
now head coach at Manhattan, was
less enthusiastic. believing the offense
still would close up near the goal line

downs and both were incomplete in

Two great teams and only one
touchdown" added Dorais. Santa
Clara, on different occasions, used
4, S, 6, and 8 man lines"
Dorais, however, continued to CAM
paign to allow the offensive team to
retain the ball when a pass "inad-

1t to the three major decisions of the
National Football Rules Committee in
its week end deliberations at Edge

Only q few comments were Nnged
with doubt, and even those gridiron
tutors who weren't quite certain agreed
the rules changes were good as far
as they went
Most of them. however, gave un-
qualified praise to the change allow
ing three incomplete forward passes
over the goal line without a touch
back being ruled and the ball going
to the other team. They also In
dorsed the decision to bring the ball
in IS yards from the sideline In
stead Of 10 on out-of- bounds plays.
A few, however, regretted the de-
cision not to permit forward pass
ing from any point back Of the line

Farkas Comes to Redskins.
FROM San Francisco. and In the
wake Of the all-East VS.. all-West
football game, comes news that Mr..
George Marshall has directed Andy
Farkas. the Detroit halfback, toward
Washington and the Redskins of 1898.
Farkas will be remembered poignant
ly by Catholic University fans. He
ran wild here last fall, scoring three
touchdowns and showing himself to be
close to the best running college back
to play in Griffith Stadium all year.
Farkas, whose name was drawn
by the Redskins in the draft re-
GENTLY. probably will end all talk
Of Tuffy Leemans coming to
Washington in trade.
For a while the tip was out that
Marshall was willing to trade Cliff
Battles for Leemans. Local boy and
favorite that he Is with Washingto-
mans, Leemans probably won't draw
Battles now. And with Farkas on
hand to help Cliff and Sammy Baugh
and Don Irwin with the ball-lugging,
the chances are that Marshall will let
the matter drop and Leemans keep
his New York Giants uniform.

IT IS STILL
A PRESSURE TAX
(The Wall Street JournaD

(Ihe Wall Street JournaD
That incentive" taxation seems
increasingly popular with Congress is
difficult to understand when one con-
siders the overwhelming opinion in that
body against undiStributed profits taxes

pleaSingly the sound falls upon the ear
is ineXtricably bound up with punitive
taxation. The two are merely opposite
sides of the same medal pressure"
taxes.
Taxes, in the basic American govern
mental system. are designed to raise the
revenue needed by government to carry
on its perationS-nothing more That
there have been departures from this
concept in the past is true. That they
were, and are, regrettable is also true.
The fact that the essential nature of
taxation has been perverted on occasion
from its original and correct function is
no reason to condone such action now.
Incentive taxation, whether it be de-
signed to induce profit-sharing, greater
employment, or any other corporate pol
icy, seeks to substitute the judgment of

important particular from the undistri-
buted profits tax. And it is as unwise
and as unsOund as that levy no matter
what the end-result desired may be.
-
The net effect of all such systems is
to reduce corporate management and
even ownership to a subsidiary role, since
major policies are determined by gov
ernment through the taxing power. How
ever much we may desire greater en-
ployment the way to obtain it is not to
withhold the benefits of lighter taxation
from those who do not, against their
own judgment, hire men.
Takes for revenue only" is sound
program which will, in the end, result
in greater employment and greater busi-
ness activity generally if for no other
reason than this-the knowledge that
taxes are only to be so used will encour-
age that business expansion which is the
way in which more permanent jobs can
be created. Dabbling in governmental
control over business through the tax
ing power can have only the opposite
effect.

AN ARMY MAN HEADS
RELIEF ADMINISTRATION

Almost unheard of throughout the
nation four days ago, Col. +. c. Harring-
ton during those four days has started
well on the way 10 becoming one of the
nations best known figures. That is
only natural when it is considered that
he now heads the countrys greatest bus
iness-the relief business.
Many will not like Col. Harrington.
Already that is apparent. Among them
will be leaders of the Workers Alliance,
labor union organized exclusively for
persons on relief. 1t is highly probable
that Col. Harrington will be unpopular
with many of President Roosevelt's left
wing New Deal advisors, as we'll
He is a regular army man. Therein
will lie much of the objection to him.
And therein may lie the salvation of
the Works Progress Administration.
For discipline is the watchword of
the army, and discipline is the thing
most sadly lacking to date in the make
up both of WPA administration and re-
lief
About Col. Harrington's head many
storms will resolve in the next few
months. Appointed by the President IN
a compromise intended to get New Deal
er Harry Hopkins into the cabinet with
out S6TiOuS ODJG(lIOIl 1IOlIl IllS oSilsitO,
Col. Harrington is liable to arouse much
New Deal wrath. He is liable, too, to be
the butt of many demonstrations by
the radical relief union.
And he is liable, we believe to make
something worthwhile out of the disre-
putable phases of the Works Progress
Administration.
1t is likely that Col. Harrington's
underling, chosen by his predecessor,
will attempt to hamstring his activities.
If he carries out the army tradition, 1t
is not likely that they will succeed.
There is one danger sign along the
road-a danger sign more for the Amerl-
can people than for the new relief ad-
ministrator.
It points to an attempt to keep on
with costly relief spending under the
guise of national defense. And, if past
performance is any indication, the de-
fenses built by relief clients will not be
worth the foundation they're placed on
National defense should be one thing,
relief another.
We shall be glad to see an army man
direct relief administrations but we
should not like to see a relief administra-
tor, regardless of prior army connections,
direct national defense construction.

by emphasizing the problems facing
our country today. Rather, let me
give readers two cheerful facts
about current business as an in
PRODUCTION to eight resolutions for
the coming year.
The two cheerful facts concern
the activity and trend of business
at this Christmas season:
l. ACTIVITY. General business
is 18 per cent better than it was
last Christmas. Early reports show
that Holiday trade has practically
equalled last seasons big retail
volume. Nearly every manufactur-
ing industry is now buster than
it was a year ago.
2. TREND. Last year, general
business was rushing downhill like
a runaway freight train. Six months
of lay-offs and hard times faced
us. Today, business is swinging Wig
orously upward and year of good
activity lies ahead.
Happy Contrast
The contrast between this Christ
mas and last could not be more
complete. Confidence in the future
is returning. People this year are
not worried that new and bigger
depression lies over the threshold
of the New Year. Few expect a
boom, but no one expects a crash
Nevertheless, big problems face
us in 1889. We must solve them
before we can have lasting pros
perity for all. Moreover, these
problems can be worked out only
through the cooperation of every
one-employer and worker, Re-
publican and Democrat, Jew and
Gentle. Here is list of our ma
jor problems. Their solution should
be made a national code of New
Year resolutions" in which every
one can take part.
l. THE WAGNER ACT shoulc
be amended. Employers must bt
given the same protection as work
ers. We cannot expect to have
employment increase materially il
this Act is not modified. Unless
everyone urges his Congressman
and senators to push such al
amendment, however, the act Car
not be changed.
2. OUR TAX LAWS should bt
modified. Uncle Sam must give
back the profit incentive to busi-
nesSmen and investors. New gov
ernment bonds should be taxed anc
public employees should come under
all income tax laws to which Other
individuals are subject. Moreover
immediate steps toward budget.
balancing must be taken.
3. THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT
should be put on a pay -you-go'
basis. The current method of build.
ing up a gigantic reserve fund car
lead only to initiation and ultimate
disaster. Yet, 1 see little hope fol
such a change in this law in 1889

We talk so much about rapid
communications in our modern
world that We often forget about
the lonely, isolated spots where
men live completely cut off from
their fellows and where human sur
viVal is a precarious thing.
So this little story about the lost
French colony on st. Paul's Island
which sounds like something from
the old sailing-ship days, is a good
reminder that we have not yet eth
er conquered nature nor annihilat-
ed space.
Some 40 or so French fishermen
went To st. Paul's TO catch Holsters.
st. Pauls is about as remote a
place as there is on the globe; an
utterly barren, rocky little island
far down in the south Pacific on
the rim of the Antarctic ice Shelf,
it has no resources whatever except
the Holsters which inhabit its fore
shore. A worse place for people to
run short of food and fuel could
hardly be imagined.
That seems to be what happened
to these French fishermen. They
did have one of the modern worlds
killing gadgets-a radio; SO
they were able to send back word
of their plight. and a ship sailed
to their rescue at once. But some
how the thought of this little band
of people, marooned on the bleak
rocks down in the region of eternal
storms, ice and loneliness, stays
with you and sends bit of ShiV-
er down your spine.
For this world is not quite as
safely regimented and controlled a
place as we usually assume. In
our urban society We may never
come in contact with the elemental
perilS of danger, hunger and cold;
but VIC are just lucky. and it is
dangerous for us to forget that
human life exists on this planet
on the same terms it always did
as a constant struggle against an
environment that is forever hostile
This earth would go spinning on

it had no freight of human life at
