Washington, March 30.-(AP)--
Chairman Arthur Altmeyer, of the
Social Security Board, advised Con-
gress today that if scheduled in
creases in old age pension taxes were
postponed, the levies would have to
be raised sharply in later years, or
the general Taxpayer would have to
bear a substantial part of pension
costs.
The Social Security official, who
has approved Secretary Morgen-
thau's recent recommendation that
increases in payroll taxes for PEN
sions be deferred until 1884, testi-
fled before the House Ways and
Means Committee. That group is con-
sidering proposed genera-'> ation and
other changes to the social security
system.
.Altmeyer told the committee he
thought an eventual contribution to
the old age pension system from gen
eral revenues was desirable.
Chairman Doughton, Democrat,
North Carolina, drew a distinction
between the general publics obliga-
ton to aid persons who were not

with the distinction but contended
there was considerable justification
for general tax contributions to the
former group.
Other developments:
President Roosevelt nominated for
mer Senator Fred Brown, of New
Hampshire, to the long-vacated post
of comptroller general of the United
States.
The Senate Finance Committee re-
jected proposals to increase the tax
on imported vegetable oils and fats
from three to five cents a pound after
the committee was advised that the
President had threatened to veto
such legislation.
Ignoring the chief executives sug-
gestion for cotton export subsidy
program, the Senate Agriculture
Committee approved bill which
would permit farmers to reclaim up
to 100000 bales of cotton stocks
now held as collateral for govern
ment loans.
Talk Of Vice-President Garner as a
possible Democratic nominee for
President in 1910 broke out on the

New Park Program

The prospect of a park develop

reach Of the public rugged wood
lands, stately drives, palisades, water
vistas and lily gardens Is held
out by studies now being made by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. Still only in a
formative stage, for the most part,
the program promises to Washington
OF the future a system of readily
accessible parks and a network OF
thoroughfares through those parks
to centers of more prosaic utility
which will be unequaled.
It includes links between the new
airport and the Mount Vernon Me-
mortal Boulevard, more ready con-
nection of the residential areas of

Fifth Dimension

For years Professor EinStein has
been dwelling in a world of four
dimensions, one more than the rest
of mankind, and making out fairly
well until quite recently, when he
began to feel the need of extra space
for parking gravitation and elec-
tricity. Heretofore they had been
doing the best they could in a mere
four-space world, and in spite of all
that could be done about it they kept
on snarling up the mathematical
traffic and cumming up the cosmic
works. The situation got so bad that
almost every day the professor
would sprain tensor in trying to
expand 1t by the binominal theorem
when there wasn't room enough, or
else pet differential equation,
nursed from pup, would come limp
ing back with second degree frac-
ture in nearly every term. due to
collision with electricity or gravita-
ton in congested area. Forced to
find some place in the sun for these
trouble makers, Enstein boldly
staked out claim on the fifth di-
mension. and as Hitler happened to
be asleep at the time, he got it.
The professor is at the moment not
only absolute dictator, but is also
the sole inhabitant of this virgin
territory. He intends to map it, de-
velop few of its natural resources,
and then throw it open for general
occupation. 1t is expected, however,
that some time will elapse before
the common herd will be able to use
it. Not only the land they live in, but
their very brains and minds are
strictly three dimensional-havin
length, breadth, and sometimes an
almost incredible amount of thick
ness. Prior to Einstein a fourth di-
mension was discovered, but it was
found to be unsuitable for colonial
ton, being practically filled to the
brim with time, leaving no room for
anything else and making it too Slip
perry to handle. The new fifth one is
a better bet. So far, it is virtually
empty except for a few stray elec-
tromagnetic and gravitational waves
merrily playing tag with each other,
and it would afford plenty of space
for used razor blades, sour mutuel
tickets, and worn out European
peace treaties.

TOLERANCE
By the Right Req. James E. Freeman, D. d. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop of Washington

Are we going back to the days Of
feudalism and the clan spirit? This
question is the most urgent, pressing
question of the hour. 1t engages the
serious thought of the peoples of every
nation IN our modern world. Trade
agreements, questions of national and
international commercial relations and,
indeed, all other matters that have to do
with the large concerns Of our life are
subordinate to this one. that concerns
continuing order and peace here In
America. We have had one mighty
struggle that threatened the dismember-
ment of the Union of States: one terri
BILE Civil War that divided in fratricidal
strife families and households. We pray
God such bloody period may never
again happen.
Since the close of the Civil War the
spirit OF tolerance and good will had
made. so we believed, substantial prog
reSs. Breaches were closed, amity and
cooperative spirit came to take the
place OF sectional and class rivalries, and
while the scars Of conflit were still evil
e1acing from the memory of men the
story of the so-called tragic era" When
we were called upon to bring our united
strength to resist what we believed was
the growing menace of a militaristic
state, we Joined our forces with the allied
nations that were struggling to maintain
the ideals of democracy. At no time in
our history had we exhibited a finer
unity than when we gave of our wealth
and our men to make the world safe for
democracy" Then followed the postwar
years with their struggle to restore the
orderly ways Of living. We were of one
mind in our effort to re-establish institu-
tions that had suffered serious impair
ment during the four years of strife.
The story of this period is one that dis
closes the Incompatible genius of Amer
lea to survive misfortune and disaster.

roads in Anacostia Parkway with
those Of adjoining Maryland, par
ticularly with the proposed parkway
boulevard which is to connect WASH
ington with Baltimore. It is espe-
cially important at this time because
1t contemplates unifying the system
to offer additional traffic outlets for
the projected sports center site at
the eastern end of East Capitol street.
Existing streets and avenues al
ready give the East Capitol street
location unusually advantageous
traffic conditions. Situated almost
midway between the two existing
bridges across the Anacostia River,
it will have additional advantages
when the roads Of the park join it
with those Of Maryland, offering still
easier outlets to large areas south
east and northeast. including q direct
and pleasant route for motor traffic
to Baltimore.
Since the vast majority Of the
population depends almost entirely
upon the automobile in enjoying the
advantages Of the city's unusual
recreational system, there is no more
important factor to be considered.
Great strides have been made in a
surprisingly short time. And work
now underway holds still greater
promise.

Diverse Opinions

In view of the studied recon-
mendations of the Social Security
Board and the Advisory Council on
Social Security for broader applica-
ton of the social security law, plus
pressure to the same end from vari-
Gus special interest groups and the
clear presence of an element of po-
litical expediency, the decision of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee to reject such extension this
year must be considered a surprising
one.
Conflning its decision to proposals
for covering farm and domestic labor
and employees of religious, charitable
and non-proft institutions. the COM
mittee, after relatively brief consid-
Grafton of the problem, explains
unofficially that it feels administra-
tive obstacles are too great in the
first two classifications, and reluc-
tance to levy taxes upon the types
of institutions named is given as the
lmpelling motive in the latter cases.
That there is an element of merit
in both contentious is undeniably
true.
At the same time, it is interesting
to read the following opinion of the
council, composed of men of all in
terests, after more than year of
study:
Farm and domestic employees are
most in need of protection
against dependent old age and pre-
mature death. Low wages and in
termittent employment frequently
combine to make individual savings
difficult. Their exclusion from the
existing legislation was based =
on grounds of administrative diff
culties :. Recent studies indi-
cate that the additional cost of ex-
tending the coverage of the system
to these classes of workers will be
considerably less than originally
estimated"
OF institutional employees the
council declared: "+ there is no
Justification in social policy for the
exclusion no special admins
trative difficulties exist"
The board, which would have the
administrative worries, concurs with
the council.
Perhaps further Qualification of
the committees position would be of
value.

rapidly and we became insular and arro-
CANT. Be that as it may the record Of
the postwar years is not one to give us
deep satisfaction. The years Of pros
perity were followed by the most serious
depression we have ever experienced, and
now new and menacing situation faces
us. In part 1t is not of our making; 1t is
largely If not wholly alien to our ideals
as a people. Notwithstanding this we
are becoming the victims of an epidemic
that is world wide and are experiencing
here in America its malign influence.
Glass and race hatreds are utterly for
eign to our American ideals and violate
the principles set forth in the Bill of
Rights. Freedom Of worship is an inte-
grail and indispensable part Of our Amer
lean system. Those who come to us from
the Old World must accommodate them
selves to our way of life. They share the
benefits and privileges of national
household and they must be obedient to
Its basic laws. Jew, Catholic and Prot
estant enjoy alike the freedom granted
them under the Constitution. The fact
that our population represents cross
section of the peoples of the world is no
warrant for race or class prejudice; as a
matter of fact, it is the chief reason for
scrupulously avoiding it.
Religion. however we may differ in the
expression of our beliefs, should be the
strongest factor in effecting national
unity and solidarity There are COM
petitive forces that operate in our life,
and if consistently observed they have
much of value, but in our adherence to
our religious convictions there cannot be
rivalry, antagonism or bitterness. Amer
lea must use every resource within its
power to Danish and drive away bigotry,
intolerance. class and race hatreds. 1t
must regard as avowed enemies to Its
institutions those who secretly or openly
give allegiance to systems that are wholly
alien to the fundamental law and the
accredited ideals of our Nation.
