PAINTING MOVIE
 STARS IS LIKED
 BY ONE ARTIST
Life Is Not Tough, Accord ing to Azadia Newman,
 Who Ought to Know
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 31.-The life of a portrait painter in Startown must be tough.
 Azadia Newman wouldn't say so. Azadia would-and did-say quite the opposite. And I doubt if any portrait painter in Startown would come out and say it badly. Unless it might be Willy Pogany, who took his tinted tiff with Connie Bennett to court and got the worst of it. But I haven't seen Willy Pogany lately, and I've just seen zadia Newman, who is a lovely CT ture to see.
 Azadia lives on a hillside and you park below and hike up umpteen stes. I reckon if you're the athletic type - like Scott Cotton, Azadia's s handsome new husband those steps are no trick. But if typing is your violent exercise then you're in no mood for Art after the climb, Still between gasps and pants, l made some notes on the informal exhibit in Azadia's studio. So when Azadia came in-slender, fine-featured, -haired-I was already impressed. Her fine and beautiful portrait of the blind Sem ator Gore is something to see and

 Then she comes home, realizing that she still loves Fonda, who has become successful young profes- sor; but it is not until after a series of dramatic developments that she wins him back.

According to the present plans, the paving project will include not only the paving of Willoughby from the Winter and Pond corner to Twelfth Street but also paving Twelfth and up over the hill by the Governors House to meet with the paving on Calhoun Avenue, giving the city a complete loop of pave ment, the Mayor said.
 The sewers are planned for the South Franklin and waterfront dis trict and sidewalk construction will include various parts of town in addition to the sidewalking neces- sary with proposed paving.
 Right -of-way will include South Seward and possibly the widening of Ferry Way from Willoughby to Franklin, giving two major ap- breaches to the downtown section from the waterfront.
 Terminal Facilities
 The terminal facilities at the boat harbor site just north of the Douglas bridge will include extend- ing the street to the harbor, build ing floats, installing light and water service and other facilities.
 Some work is expected to be done this fall if the projects meet with favor of the taxpayers, the Mayor said, but it is probable that paving work will not get underway until spring.

REPEAL OF TAX
ON PROFITS AND
CAPITAL URGED
NIL. L.Seidman Says Move
Vital to Cure Slump
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

G.N.S) Outright repeal Of thu
undistributed profits and capita
gains taxes was urged upon the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee today by M. L. Seidman, oi
the New York board Of trade
appearing as the first spokesman
for business on the proposed new
tax program.
While praising some Ways and
Means subcommittee recommends
tions and approving Undersecre,
tary of the Treasury Magill's pro.
posed future tax revision, Seidman
insisted the proposed program is
insufficient.
"The great majority of your
recommendations can only COM
mand the praise and commenda-
tion," said Seidman. He then
attacked the subcopmittee re-
port for failure to recommend
repeal of the two important
business taxes.
Il am not here to prolonR
the controversy as to whether
or not these taxes were reSpon-
sible for our present business
recession" said Seidman. I'VE
all know it's a fact that Seri-
Gus business recession Is upon
us.
The great majority of buSi-
ness men believe these two taxes
had much to do with the dis
tortion of our capital economy
and breaking down of conf
dence.
80 thoroughly is business
convinced of this that the need
for immediate repeal of the un-
distributed profits tax, as
business Stimulant, has become
an obseSSion.
ITO my mind the wisest thing
you can do in the revision of our
tax laws and the sweetest music
you can send to the business ear
is to say in a loud, clear voice,
The undistributed profits tax is
hereby repealed"

After declaring productive busi.

capital was on a "sit-down strike -
william J. Cameron, secretary to
Ford, declared in his regular Sun
day broadcast:
Another thing: We cannot
go on in this country with the
daily paper and hourly radio re-
porting that great funds are be-
ing collected to tie up this or
that industry, giving currency to
irresponsible and unfulfillable
threats to close up small supply
shops, in order to bring big
shops to heel-we cannot circu-
late this news day in and day
out for months without driving
public confidence to cover.
Anything that decreases pub
lie confidence affects the local

Reopening Of Station
To Employ 1000

Reesta blishment of, torpedo
factory in Alexandria. Va. is pro
vided for in the 1899 Navy appro
priation bill reported to Congress
today.
The bill appropriates $l,277 .00C
initially to equip and to get the
establishment at Alexandria into
production. It is contemplated
that a later expenditure of $1.229.
900 will be appropriated com
pletely to equip the station.
TO EMPLOY 1000
approximately 1000 men will
be employed at the Alexandria
plant. where it is contemplated
production will be two-fifths of the
entire torpedo production in the
country
Reestablishment of the Alexan-
dria plant is occasioned by a tor
pedo shortage at the Naval Tor
pedo Station in Newport. R. l.,
which is now operating on three
shifts a day. 1t is planned that
the Alexandria plant will work on
one shift at least until 1914. The
report states:

ditious solution to the torpedo

Testifying before the Senate
Public Lands Committee, Demaray
insisted that the National Park
Service, in which Renot Stitely,
former employe, operated the
imaginary camp, was not negli-
gent in its checking system.
Stitely has pleaded guilty in
court here to embezzlement of the
CCC funds. The War Depart
ment diSbursing office should have
discovered Stitely's defalcations,
which ran for over three years,
Demaray told the committee.
PITTMAN CHALLENGES HIM
Senator Pittman CD of Nevada
challenged Demaray's contention.
The War Department did not keep
books on the CCC transactions
other than records of disburse-
ment, Pittman said.
The committees inquiry into
the embezZlement of Government
money was hinged on its investiga-
ton of the qualifications of Ebert
K. Burlew for the office of First
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
Pittsman and other Senators
opposed to Burlew's confirmation
were attempting to show ineffi-
cheney on the part of Burlew in
his present position as first ad-
ministrative assistant to Secretary
Ickes.
LACKED MANPOWER
Testimony was given by Dema-
ray that the accounting depart
ment in the Interior Department
was undermined. Replying to
Pittman, Demaray said that Bur
lew made up the budget for the
accounting department.

Service balanced its books annual
ly, Pittman asked:
