AT THIS SESSION.
Bitter Fight Seen on
Presidents Plan

I.N.S). President Roosevelt's
surprise recommendation that all
holding companies be abolished
will not become law during the
present session of Congress, Ad-
ministration leaders forecast to-
day.
Even modification of his pro-
posal to allow a few holding com.
panies to remain, say those in the
first degree, would have hard sled
ding in Congress, it was explained.
PRIOR FIGHT RECALLED
With Democratic chieftains ar
ranging their agenda for adjourn
ment of Congress in May, they in
dicated they were not in the mood
for long, hard fight over holding
companies. They recalled the Bit
ter and lengthy fight that ragged
in the Senate over the death SEN
tence" clause in the public utility
holding company act.
Should the withholding COM
pany proposal be applied only to
banks, there would be q titanic
struggle with the banking world
divided against itself, Senators ex-
planned. Legislation forcing abo-
lition of all bank holding COM
panies probably would raise i'm
precautions of depreciation in bank
stocks, 1t was said. Forced sale of
holding company stock would re-
suit.

TAXHAMSTRINGS
U, S. BUSINESS,
SAYS CROMWELL
3-Point Reform PIar
Told to Congress

G.N.SO Declaring the present
tax system restricts employment
and fosters monopoly, James H.
r. Cromwell, of New York, today
a complete new tax pro
gram to the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Cromwell, economist, business
man and husband of Doris Duke
Cromwell, urged a complet e
in the estate tax system,
repeal of corporation and indi-
vidual income taxes and subStitu-
ton of a manufacturers sales tax.
DOUBLE NEED CITED
Cromwell declared tax revi1w
is necessary both to preserve in
dustry and guarantee a fair deal
for the wage Garner.
I'm their zeal to correct the
social injustice and the concen-
tration of wealth which results
from the undiluted inheritance
of large estates, many of our
legislators and economists have
overlooked the adverse effects
which the forced liquidation OF
such estates exercises upon the
public welfare, particularly with
reference to the maintenance Of
competitive conditions and bar
gaining power of labor" said
Cromwell.
Cromwell stated the economic
effect of high estate taxes tends
to bring the control of industry
into the hands of a relatively few
men.
WOULD ENCOURAGE GIFTS
He proposed that deduction
from estate and gift taxes, up to
the full amount of the taxes, be
allowed for bequests or gifts in
trust to be recognized domestic
educational and scien-
tific institutions.
He said sale of trust property
should be forbidden except under
conditions.
Under the present high estate
taxes, he said, there is a tendency
by owners to invest in tax-exempt
securities in an effort to avoid the
effect of estate taxes.
This, he said, is bad for business,
for the public, and for the wage
Garner.
He urged that much more in
telligence and less emotionalism"
be used in considering tax
problems.
HITS MONEY SYSTEM
Taxation has had little or
nothing to do with the existing
growth in equality of income
and the concentration Of
wealth." he said, adding:
"The chief cause for in
equality is to be found in the
fact that our unregulated money
system has never provided such
a flow of dollars as would assure
capacity production and full en-
ployment."
Analysing the individual income
tax, he said that no discrimination
is made as to what purposes the
money was used.
"The thrifty individual, the
wastrel, the philanthropist and
the hoarder-each and all of
these persons, good, bad and in
different, are tarred with the
same brush" he declared.
THREE RECOMMENDATIONS
He urged immediate reduction
and ultimate repeal of all forms
of income tax, the complete revi,
sion of estate and gift taxes, and
the adoption of a manufacturers
sales tax on finished consumers
goods as a means of encouraging
business.
The Washington times., 1938-01-19
SEES HEAVY LOSS

Insofar as I am able to un-
derstand Mr.. Lilienthal's state
ment, it is proposed that we
should resume negotiations with
municipalities in order to sell
the system to them at prices to
be determined under the threat
of duplication with Federal
funds: that some of the trans
mission lines and some of the
hydro plants should be sold to-
the IVA at iva prices, and the
balance of the facilities in the
steam generating plant are to be
retained by the company even
when the market for their power
is either eliminated or so far
removed as to make economic
operation impossible.
The loss to utility investors
from such a program would be
tremendous.
"AS everyone who has the
slightest knowledge of the utility
business knows, a utility system
can no more dismembered piece
by piece and retain its efficiency
than the human body. If broken
up, the utility would be wholly
unable to run itself and would
be easy prey for further IVA
cOnnetition
The Washington times., 1938-01-19
CASH ADVANCED

IF the investors in this buSi-
ness are to be saved, then the
utility system must be bought as
a system. Even under present
circustances the Commonwealth
and Southern Corporation has
had to advance $30,O00,00o to
its Southern operating COM
panies in the past four years.
IT know of no fairer method
of such a problem than to sub
NIT it to a board of three men,
one to be named by the Presi-
dent, one by the Supreme Court,
and one by the utility. If the
Government thinks it should not
buy the system as a system, I
urge on behalf of the investors
and employees that it advance
the money to the States, as it
did in the Tennessee Valley.
"It seems to me that in the
interests of the investors we
should have either an accept
ance or rejection of this pro-
posal instead of a mere resump-
ton of negotiations for several
years"

Against these enemies Of beauty
women must wage constant war.
The first step, OF course, is to find
the cause and then set out to avoid
1t. II you make a habit of going
out in the sun without dark glasses
or protecting hat brim, you must
expect 'squint" lines around your
eyes. The same is true if you read
or sew In a poor light or in general
subject your eyes to unnecessary
strain. You will find yourself
frOwning over your knitting and
the longer you continue, the more
deeply engraved these lines become.
Lack Of sufficient sleep, nervous
ness, moods Of depression are all
contributing factors.
fabrication Is Important
The first step towards blotting
out wrinkles or towards delaying
their appearance is proper Iubrica-
tiOn. By the time you are thirty
you should have adopted q regular
routine to this end. Spread your
cream more heavily in the wrinkle
area. If the lines are there already.
smooth them gently away as you
apply the cream. A facial mask,
such as the egg mask 1 recon-
mended a short time ago, is an
excellent skin tigbtener and a
powerful weapon against the in
roads Of time. If your skin is dry,
however, be sure to use your lubri-
eating cream afterwards.
Remember - thirty is the most
glorious age of all. Don't let your
most beautiful years be marred by
unnecessary wrinkles and cross
looking lines.
