Martin Commons in New York

THE MARTIN CANYONS, of that famous old
towel family" are in New York now. They
live in Charlotte, N. c., and have a perfectly
wonderful life. They bought the old Duke place
there. j. B. Duke was partial to fountains,
and he built one there that shot straight up in
the air 100 feet. The Cannons have planted ever
greens around the edge of the basin to hide the
hole 20 feet deep and so feet across and in there
they have a little greenhouse Resourceful
amt it? The Cannons have way Of turning up
when you least expect them, anywhere from in a
rowboat in a swamp when you're duck shooting to
Claridges Hotel in London. And they're always
the same. If all "bigbusiness" people were like
the Martin Cannons, this would be better world
Speaking of Big Business, the stores up here are
certainly doing it. New York seems to be about
two weeks ahead of Washington in Christmas
spirit and Christmas spending. But I'm stymied.

smoke? Cts not Jim Farley I'm thinking Of

proposes extension of pensions
to an estimated seven million
farm laborers and nine million
maids, cooks and washerwomen.
Now it is one thing to soak
business, quite another to try to
collect a 3 per cent tax on
wages paid by every housewife
and farmer for what amounts
to personal services. The So
cial Security Board has worked
out a card scheme to extract
the tax with a minimum of pain
it hopes. Housewives and
farmers would have to buy
stamps from Mr.. Mergenthau
(perhaps through poStoffices)
and attach these weekly to Fed
eral Social Security cards held
by domestic servants and farm
hands.
This reaches so near to the
sensitive taxpaying nerve of the
body polite and involves such
an intricate problem of admins
tration what of the farmer
who pays his help in potatoes?)
and Treasury bookkeeping, it
is obviously not satisfactory.
But DR.. Morgenthau's extrac-
tors have never found a way
yet to use novocain in taxation.
They will probably wind up by
just yanking as usual AS a
measure of precaution, Congress
may. however, equip the Nor
genthau automobile with rolling
pin-proof glass.

actually done away with him. The very idea of
a woman so selfish as to send perfectly wide
awake dog off with wet" to be destroyed is
beyond me. Poor little devil, scared, unhappy to
be away from home, he died miserably. And the
woman? Oh she took sedative and went to
bed for the rest of the day, then went about tell
ing everyone about her broken heart. What she
SHOULD have had was remorse for years to
wantonly allow that little old fellow to go out
like that. That's why I look askance at people
who LOVE dogs" It's usually rank selfishness
and those people shouldn't even be allowed to own
a dog.

SEWAGEPLANT
FUND ASSURES
RIVER CLEANUP
PWA AIIots $440,397
To Montgomery

A new sewage system, made pos
sible for a dozen communities
in Montgomery county through
a PWA grant of $440 1897, soon will
be constructed in the Bladensburg
area.
Presidential approval of the
PWA grant to the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
was announced yesterday by Ad-
ministrator Harold L. Ickes. The
sanitary commission will raise its
share of the total expenditure OF
$978, 661 through bond issue.
LAST MAJOR LINK
This will be the last major link
in the huge project to clean UP
the Potomac River and its tribu-
taries of pollution.
The amount nearly doubles the
original request for PWA funds,
and represents the solution to a
long standing difference Of
opinion between the sanitary COM
mission and the District Commits
Sioners.
The commission wanted to pipe
sewage from nearby Maryland to
Blue Plains, but the District heads
estimated the cost of this at over
a million dollars. The sanitary
commission then decided to build
it's own treatment plant.
Principal areas to be affected
by the new sewage system will be
Takoma Park and Silver Spring.
OTHER ALLOTMENTS
Included in the allotments are
a loan and grant to the District
of $5,377, 900 to clean up Rock
Creek; a loan and grant of a.
125, 900 for construction of the
Blue Plains treatment plant; a
grant of 100000 to the Navy De
partment for sewage work at the
Anacostia Naval Air Station. Belle
vue and Quantico; a loan and
grant of S2,778,000 to Arlington
county for sewers and disposal
system.
Meanwhile, Col. R. s. Thomas,
Army engineer, announced that
the flood control survey Of the
Potomac River Valley, authorized
last June in a 100000 allotment,
is more than half complete.
Work is expected to begin shortly
in Prince Georges county on a
sewage system and pumping sta
lions to benefit Cottage City, Col
mar Manor. Mt. Rainier, Hyatts-
vile, Brentwood, Riverdale and
Edmonston.

CONGRESSIONAL leaders may
" not dodge these issues
this time. The way they are
talking now they will bring
some of these projects out of
committee so the legislators can
stop beating around the pub
licity bushes and squarely face
the consequences.
Nothing from $3.50 every
Thursday" to 1850 every fourth
Saturday" seems likely to be
adopted. If any old-age pension
increase goes through it will
be limited to those who have
paid Social Security taxes, and
will not be distributed willy
nilly to all. Further, it will
surely be limited to an amount
which can be financed by tax
alton.

MOrgenthau Gets a Laugh

EORGENTHAU was holding
U1 a conference with financial
leaders on the international
monetary situation and did not
want to let the identity Of those
present get out. A sharp
eyed newsman, Alfred (Mike)
Flynn, decided he would find
out. He went to the open
adjoining room where the con-
ferees had placed their hats and
coats on a table. Looking in
side each he found initials
which were highly revealing.
He had nearly completed his
work when he was startled by an
uproarious laugh Immediately
behind him. It was Morgenthau,
bent nearly double, gasping:
aha, I caught you cheating.
You will pardon me if I laugh
too much. I get so few occasions
these days."

board is not recommending this
one, merely supplying the other
branches of Government with o
method of procedure in case
Mr.. Roosevelt or Congress wants
to proceed along this line.
Two alternatives were sug-
geSted-a direct Federal allow
ance of $45 a month to old-age
pensioners, and a Federal al
lowance of $50 with the under
standing that States furnish
the other SIS.
Mr.. Morgenthau's men are
now figuring how much Of an
increase in taxation would be
necessary to furnish the money.
Presumably the Administra-
ton does not intend to use this
proposal unless necessary to
ward off pressure from the
pixies.
Prepare for Hearings
THIS IS undoubtedly going
l. to be the hottest first sub
ject in the Congress now only
a month away. WAN Com
mittee Chairman Doughton has
called Representative Frank
Buck back from California to
prepare for committee hear
ings, various pension groups
have been promised a hearing.
Especially active has been the
General Welfare Federation of
America. It wants 1850 a
month at so" to be financed
by a 2 per cent gross income
tax. The organization is backed
by former Townsendites who
broke away from the parent
organization to promote the
more moderate plan. They
claim to have an astounding
number of supporters in the
House (170-8O, but it is
highly doubtful that they will
be able to muster even that in
sufficient number if the sub
ject ever gets to a roll call.
Treasury tax experts are
bound to say the tax is not
sensible. It might raise a lot
of money in good times, very
little in bad times. Further
more it might run a lot of bust
ness into bankruptcy. This

French Sailors Vote
To End Strike Monday
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LIE HAVRE, France, Dec. TO-
Striking sailors voted tonight to end
their walkout, the main result OF
which so far has been to tie up the
liner Normandie, and 60 back to
work Monday.
Seven hundred shipping union
members voted to begin work early
next week.
The sailors approved a suggestion
that their representatives seek an
arrangement with the French Line
to avoid penalties either in wages
or seniority rights.
About / 500 of the Normandie crew
1000 workers on the liners Paris
and lie de France, and $500 dock
workers and port laborers went on
strike last Saturday in sympathy
with 60 sailors who were discharged
for participating in the general
strike November 30.
Sailings of French Line vessels
have been getting back to normal
through the use of requisitioned
stewards and sailors from the French
Navy. 1t was expected that the Nor
mandie would be able to resume her
schedule, sailing for New York De-

In the midst of 4 complex and con-
troversial situation centering about
medical care, the District Medical
Society yesterday submitted a pro-
posal to provide prepayment lin
tied indemnity type Of medical serv-
ice to the marginal income group in
this city.
Mutual Health Service" the pro-
posal, is expected to be approved by
vote of 875 active members of the
society, to be placed in operation
early next year to meet one phase
of the general medical problem here.
The medical society plans to at
tack next the question of "domi-
ciliary care of the INDECENT" which
was characterized last week as
vital"
Meantime the medical situation
was active along other fronts. A
special grand jury neared the end OF
its long investigation into organized
medicine; and administration ex-
perts were working on a new legis-
lative program to present to Congress
next month as an outgrowth of the
administrations long drawn -out

benefits of scientific progress to q

Widely different kinds of advice
