COMMITTEE BOWS TO
LEHMAN'S WARNING

WASHINGTON, Mar. &c. (UP)
The senate finance committee yes
terday completed major changes
in the new tax revision bill by
granting taxpayers higher credit
against estate duties paid to states,
raising gift exemption $4,000 and
providing more relief to bankrupt
corporations.
The group, in full revolt for the
first time against the administra-
TONS tax reform policies and de-
termined to comply with business
demands for aid, yesterday scut-
tied the undivided profits tax in
favor of an Is per cent levy on
corporate income and ordered
widespread changes in the capital
gains and losses imposts.
Chairman Harrison, DEM, Miss,
refused to forecast when the COM
mittee would conclude its task,
but other members said a revised
version of the measure passed by
the house a fortnight ago probably
will be offered in the senate early
next week. Problems still unsolved
include the proposal TO reduce the
maximum surtaX on large incomes
from rs to 60 per cent and pro-
posed widening of the income tax
base to hit harder earnings be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Bowling to the stern warning
from Gov. Herbert Lehman of New
York that federal tax policies are
threatening the sovereignty of
the states" Harrison's committee
yesterday eliminated the house
changes which would have reduced
the federal tax credit given tax
payers on estate leVies paid to the
states to 1914 per cent. The pro-
visions of the present law, which
embrace tax credits amounting to
25 per cent in such large states as
New York, were restored. Lehman
sought a so per cent credit.
Harrison told newspapermen
that Under-Secretary of the Treas
ury Roswell Magill had informed
him that no appreciate loss OF
revenue would result from the
change. The committee further
emasculated the house bill by ex-
empting from taxes annual gifts
of $4,000. The house cut 1t to
$4,000.
Two cushions for hard-pressed
institutions were approved. One'
by Sen. Brown (D-Mich.) exempts
fror" tderal taxes all banks in the
- of liquidation. The theory

hands of depositors. The second,
by Sen. Clark (D-Mo.) authorizes
corporations which began Hquida-
ton under the 1896 revenue act
to ignore certain conflicting pro-
visions in the pending measure.
Shrewd strategist and crafty
bargainer, Harrison said that he
expects the senate to follow its
usual course and accept the lead
of his committee as ''fair and i'm
partial" But, he is keeping the
powder dry. He recognized that
in leading the fight against the
undivided profits tax he was trod-
ding heavily on administration de-
sires and he is too wise in the
ways of party pressure to believe
that President Roosevelt will sur
render meekly in this struggle.
The brunt of his argument IN
defense of the scrapping of the
withheld earnings levy will be that
the proposed revisions will yield
between S90,000,000 and $780,
100000 more revenue annually
than would the house bill with its
profits tax and it's complicated
schedule of capital gains and losses
levy. He is expected to emphasize
preferential treatment provided
for little business through a pro-
posed tax credit of 10 per cent on
the difference between actual tax
able earnings and $4,000.
Beyond the belief that the
changes will be approved by the
senate, however, Harrison would
not 90. He comedies that one OF
the profits tax hurdles which ne
must leap in conference between
the two houses for adjustment OF
differences is the humping vote
by which the principles of the
earnings levy passed the lower
house. Potential house conferees
say privately that there will be a
fight, if the senate adopts the com,
mittee's recommendations. and
that ultimately the White House
may have to decide the issue;
Meantime, a house agriculture
subcommittee today reported Ia

payment of $200,0O0,000 OF pro

control act and similar legislation

preme court invalidated the agri-
cultural adjustment act.

1T PAYS TO USE WANT ADS.
The Washington times., 1938-11-28
By Dorothy BdrnSley

He said, why did you do it,
Lila?"
She shrugged her shoulders. 1T
doesn't matter now-why. You
thought I was making a fool Of
you. I'm the fool! The moneys
yours now. What are you going
to do with it?"
II was thinking" said Dan. He
was thinking of a million things
as he looked at Lila. But mostly
he was thinking how incredibly
wonderful she was.
He said, Il was thinking-two
hundred and thirty dollars would
be a nice little nest egg-if I
wanted to get married, wouldn't
it, Lila?"
She couldn't very we'll mis-
understand the way he was look
ing at her. The white anger
melted out Of her face. She
seemed to forget that she had
wanted to get out of the car and
take train home. She smiled
at him.
I'm still one jump ahead Of
you, DAN" said Lila. IT had
that all figured out six months
ago. That's why I did it."

street corner peddlers. It's a joke
among the fellows that If you're
short Of cash, try Abbott. He's
SOFT"
Dan stared at her. He knew that
what she was saying was true.
AN EASY MARK
Lila said, when I first became
friendly with you, you told me
that you couldn't save money on
your salary. I knew that you
could, if you knew how to handle
it. But If I had told you about
my plan you'd have laughed at me.
The only way to stop you from
giving money to every Tom, Dick
and Harry was to take it away
from you myself. I had to pretend
to borrow it because lending
money was the only language you
understood. When I had accumu-
lated little more was going TO
give it back to you. It's too bad
the surprise had to be spoiled by
this-quarrel, and your absurd
suspicious"
Dan managed to say, Then
you're not in love with Freddie?"
"Of course not. was just sorry
for him. Well, you've discovered
my crime now. On your salary
you've saved $3.50 in six months.
That's not bad, Dan"

a man. You've no right to cross
examine ne like this"
mo right" Dan echoed. mo,
suppose not"
He was remembering. Last
night. Freddie and Lila laughing
at each other so intimately across
a secluded table. Lila passing
money to Freddie.
Freddie couldn't afford to dine
at the place where Dan had seen
him with Lila, so Lila had given
him money. Dams money. Dan
happened to know that Freddie
was flat broke. He had worked at
the same place with Lila and Dan
until he got fired for sheer in
competence.
SOMETHING IMPORTANT"
Yes Dan remembered now
that Freddie had been fired at
just the same time that Lila be-
gan to borrow money.
He could well remember that
first time she came to him. Dan,
could you possibly loan me $25?
It's for something terribly i'm
portant. Something I can't ask
Dad for. There isn't any one else
I can ask. Will you trust me.
and not ask me what I want it
for?" ...
He had fallen for that look in
her cool brown eyes, and given her
the money without question. 1t
had been like that the other times,
too. Sometimes $40. Sometimes
$25. ...
Lila must have known how he
felt about her, and she had taken
advantage of that feeling to &C
cept his money for Freddie. No
wonder she didn't want to tell her
father about it!
Dan knew that she had always

Abbott"
Her voice raced. about last
night. You saw me give Freddie
the money to pay for his dinner
and mine. What's the harm in
that? met him accidentally and
he was flat broke. I blew him to
square meal for old times sake.
But it wasn't your money, Dan.
1t was mine. Out Of my own sal
airy. AS for your money"
She fished in her handbag, drew
out a tiny book, and tossed it to
him; her face still white with
anger.
Dan saw that it was a savings
bank pass book. He opened it
daZedly. There were entries COW
ering the period of the past few
months. The total amount was
two hundred and thirty dollars,
plus few cents interest. He didn't
know what it was all about. How
could he?
Lila said, There's your money.
All of it. I'll draw it out of the
bank first thing in the morning
and give you the cash, then you
can promptly give it away again
to the next phoney that comes
along.
you accused me of playing YOU
for a sucker. I didn't, Dan. Just
about everybody else has been
doing that. AS long as you had a
dollar in your pocket you were
never known to refuse anybody,
from the fellows in the office to
The Washington times., 1938-11-28

no intention of ever paying it
back. You've just been playing
me for a sucker"
1t came to Dan too late that he
had not meant to battle like this
with her. He had meant to tell
her in a dignified manner that he
was willing to forget the money
he had already loaned her, but
that he certainly would not lend
her any more so that she could
turn it over to a man who was
too Shiftless to work for himself.
Perhaps it was because his tenn
per was usually nonexistent that
his anger, now reused, was so in
tense.
He barked at her, Because 4
know now where my money has
gone. I saw you last night at that
restaurant with Freddie Norris. I
saw you-"
"I saw you, too, Dan, but 4
The Washington times., 1938-11-28

didn't think you saw me. I l
hoped you didn't. suppose you
saw me pass the money across the
table to Freddie"
Yes Dam had seen, and it
was this sight which had stirred
the flame of his anger.
He demanded, Are you in love
with him?"
She turned on him, now; angry,
too. Suppose I am in love with
him? That's no disgrace, is it? !

usual for a girl to fall in love with

BORROWED MONEY

TT WAS a warm night, and
i Dan had piloted his car
away from the city through
the quieter roads of West
chester He found a little
familiar spot by the Hudson,
and parked there. He had
spoken little during the drive,
and Lila, as though she sensed
his mood also had said little.
The little scene Dan had wit
messed just a scant "a hours ago
had jolted his eaSy-going nature
and made him see the truth. Lila
was making an absolute fool OF
him.
In his present mood he thought
that since the beginning Of time
there had probably never been
such a fool as she, Lila Carpenter,
was making of him, Dan Abbott.
Well. her cunning little game was
finished now.
FLAMING WORDS
He looked at Lila. She was
slim and slight, with cool, calm
brown eyes, and fresh, tanned
skin. She had dark curly hair
and beautiful mouth. She
looked awfully we'll in the bright
colors she usually wore. You
wouldn't have thought she was
the kind of a girl who'd do what
she had done
Lila said amazingly, Dan,
could you lend m another 1882"
The words chased his own words
right out Of his mouth. His col
lected thoughts scattered in all
directions. A spark was set to
the anger which had been imolder-
ing since last night.
Dams voice sounded ugly in his
own ears. Good Lord, Lila! Do
you realize that in the last six
months you've borrowed"
I+e saw her face change, but
her voice remained calm. Her
self-control was rather marvellous.
Exactly two hundred and thirty
dollars" said Lila. II know it's
a lot Of money"
When you consider that my
salary is $45 a week-it's damn
lot of money!"
She had known already, Of
course, what his salary was, just
as he knew hers. They both
worked for the same firm. Lila
earned $40. which was sufficient
for her needs. She lived with
her parents who we're comfortably
fixed, il not wealth..
Thinking about it again, it
seemed incredible to Dan that she
could have had the nerve to Dor
row so much money from him
with no apparent reason.
Lila said, Il had hoped to be
able to pay it back to you before
this, but somehow"
Dan said brutally, Lets not
pretend with each other, Lila.
You know perfectly well you had
The Washington times., 1938-11-28

been very friendly with Norris,
but he thought that the other
man had slipped out of her life
when he was fired from the office.
1t was all very clear now. She
wasn't even trying to deny it.
Dan went on, "No, I haven't
any right, have I, Lila? only
the right to be fool! The right
to be an easy mark for anybody
who happened to want whatever 1
had! I know I've been fool about
loaning money to several people.
I've been taken for a sucker more
than once. But I thought you were
different. I've learned lesson
this time"
He was trying to explain his stu
pidity to his own bewildered brain,
as well as to her.
Il never asked why you wanted
the money. didn't care. thought
IL Was JuoOTJAoO q SA4 . CAOA"N
agance. New clothes, or some
thing. I didn't care because"
He couldn't say. II didn't care
because expected to marry you"
He said instead. Except for
last night I might not have known
for ages what was going on. I'd
have given you the money you
want now and what would
you have done with it? Bought
an evening suit for Freddie, so
that you can go dancing together
on my money!"
DAZING EVIDENCE
Lila made a swift movement.
Her face had gone very white
How dare you say tnat to me?"
Dan pulled her back into the
car. Where are you going?"
