1ydings 10 Offer Bill
To Force Congress
To Balance Budget
Deficit Spending Would
Be Barred Unless Tuxes
Levied to Meet Them
BY j. A. O'LEARY.

A new budget law to prohibit
Congress from appropriating more
than the Government expects to COL
lect in revenue unless it takes steps
at the same time to pay off the re-
sulting deficit within IS years, will
be proposed by Senator Tydings,
Democrat, of Maryland, when Con-
gress reassembles.
Denouncing system which he
said permits one administration to
spend billions it does not have, and
leave the debt to a succeeding ad-
ministration, the Maryland Senator
made known he plans to revive a
joint resolution he drafted originally
three years ago.
Declaring that everybody recon-
mends how to spend money while
nobody recommends how to raise it,"
the Senator indicated his plan is
based on the principle that those
who oppose expenditures should
take the responsibility for raising
the necessary revenue.
Budget Called a Farce.
1.-THE budget system is a farce"
said the Marylander. 1T has not
been regarded as method of max
ing income and outgo balance, as it
was intended to do. The country
needs new budget law badly. Con-
gress should mot be permitted to
appropriate more money than it
takes in, in peacetime, without pro-
vlding at once, or over a period Of
years, the means of raising revenue
necessary to liquidate the new debt.
"All this talk about Federal
budget is pure bunk. There has not
been anything remotely resembling
budget since 1929
Senator Tydings suggested that
one way to save money would be to
stop printing the budget, because
once it is printed nobody ever both
ers to look at it,
One administration" he con-
tinued. can spend billions it does
not have and artifcially create the
mirage of prosperity However,, the
next administration not only has to
pay the cost of Government during
its tenure of Office, but for the pre-
ceding administration as we'll when
the time comes to balance the
budget"
Can Ruin Future President.
Senator Tydings added that you
can ruin the record of a future
President by handing over to him all
the unpaid bills of the preceding
administration"
The 15-year amortization limit in
the Tydings budget plan is pat
termed after a Maryland law. 1t
starts out by directing the President
to transmit along with the budget
at the opening OF each regular ses-
sion, budget bill, allocating in de-
tail to each executive department
and agency, such sums as are ueces-
sary for the ensuing year.
1t then provides that no legisla-
ton shall be passed by both Houses
Of Congress until the budget bill
has been passed.
Congress could increase the allo-
cation of any bureau in the bill, by
taking corresponding amount off
other parts of the budget, but in no
event could the total appropriations
exceed the estimated revenue, unless
Congress provided for new taxation
to meet the excess within the year,
or by authorizing the Treasury to
borrow the money for not longer
than Is years. An authorization for
such borrowing would have to be
accompanied by the taxation neces-
sary to retire the Indebtedness
within that time.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Howard
Rushmores job as film critic for the
Communist party's organ, The Daily
Worker, was gone with the wind"
today-blown out the window by his
review of the picture of that name.
He said he quit the S25-a week
job because after seeing the film he
couldn't agree with the papers order
to blister" it.
The Daily Worker said he was
discharged because his review was
"a shameless glorification of white
chauvinism and an affront to the
Negro people"
Mr. Rushmore, who said he hadn't
been paid for his services since con-
clusion of the Soviet German treaty,
explained his review of the film as
praising its technical achievement
and its "thematic sweep" But, he
went on, in slight accordance with
the papers demand, he called the
picture Q magnificent bore" and

Dear Friend: Won't you help me?
| am girl of eighteen, considered at
tractive and have been keeping COM
pany with a young man for year and
a half. For quite some time | have
learned that he has been dating an
other girl and last month in anger 7
tore up his letters and sent them back
to him. Since then, I have been going
out with other fellows in the hope of
making him jealous. He has made no
attempts to make up and l still love
nm. How can l win him back .
DOtty.
Dear DOtty: Under existing circum-
stances l am wondering if you ever
had him. If, as you say, YOU have
been friends for year and a half and
recently he finds time to be in other
lanes company, it certainly augers
that his interest has been and is on
the Wane. Human nature is very tickle
and IN your case possible the fact that
you were content to be with Just him.
made him wonder whether or not YOU
were desirable to anyone else. Yet.
that couldn't be the case, because YOU
say you are now going out with others
and ne has not made any attempts to
regain your former friendship. One
thing is sure, if you mean anything
to him at all, he will not only find
time but make time to see you and
let you know just how he feels about
you. l only hope that when you say
YOU are in love with him, you mean
that you are in love with love. The
difference being, that you will heal SO
much quicker on finding out that Won
IAN still live without his presence. I
would suggest that you continue your
friendship with other young men and
give someone else an opportunity to
gam your affections. In the mean
time, it should be up to him to return
to you, that is, if you will want him!

ton day and the whole summer
through, the little graduate-to-be
seated in the picture chooses dainti-
est of mousseline de sole in a de-
lectable shade of pale pink. The
simplicity of its styling adds inf
nitely to its young" charm. 1t is
made ankle length, with the new
square neckline. Of course there
should be frills, for everything is
frilled and frilled this year. The
frilling for this pretty frock extends
across the neckline giving the effect
of yoke.
In the charming gown worn by the
girl graduate standing, the claim of
high-style prestige for cottons is YER
flied. Here we see a most lovely
youthful frock which after gradua-
ton will become her favorite gown
for summer party wear. 1t is in
teresting to know that the exquisite
organdy that fashions it is in an en-
trancing cool-looking pale green,
with a formal wallpaper floral motif
in delicate shadowprint. Note the
brief pique mess jacket which be-
speaks an added triumph for cot
tons worn in a formal way. The
importance of pique in the evening
mode is recognized by leading de-
signers. Some of the smartest party
dresses are made of pique with full
skirts that are topped with cunning
basque bodices that have low-cut
square decolletage and sprightly
short pulled sleeves. Speaking OF
the dress pictured the addition OF
the jacket makes this a very practi-
cal costume. For greater formal
ity, the bodice underneath tunes in
with fiattering deep-cut decoL
letage.

To browse about in neckwear Sec
tons this season gives one a sort

there's thrill of new and fascinat-

modern neckwear departments is
that they include so much more than
just neck "fixings" and furbelows.
One of the charming, likewise smart
and practical items to be found in
current neckwear showings is the
striped "backet" as pictured. 1t may
be worn as a plastron as you here
see or simply by reversing (the back
to the 'front.' and you have topper
with an ascot, perfect over a plain
wool dress or ideal to wear under
your jacket with the new suit.

Flowers Are Worn
In Many New Ways
Lorge Variety Needed to
Keep Up With Style.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

To keep pace with fashion during
the coming months you will want to
acquire nothing less than a whole
wardrobe of flowers. Latest is to
change the flowers on your hat, also
your boutonniere or corsage, to
match or to contrast, in other words,
to complete the ensembling of your
costume. "It is as simple as this"
to quote well-known fashion au-
thority, ''place a corsage of lilies
of-the-valley or violets or your IA
vorite flower in the center of a big
bow with streamers or chou of COL
ored yelling. Fasten this to a yard
of inch-wide grosgrain ribbon which
ties around the crown of your hat
and anchors the connection at a flat
tering angle. Of course with this
be-fiowered headgear there must be
a matching bouquet to wear some
where on your dress or suit.
An important suit fashion brought
out this season is navy with white
accent. Which same calls for the
boutonniere or corsage of white flow
ers to tune to white gloves, white hat
and white details in general. Prefera-
bly,, in fashions opinion, are white
anemones, snowdrops, crocus, lilacs
and hyacinths. Big white daisies
with golden centers are very smart
this season. Spanking white pique
flowers are especially good, for the
big idea is to look fresh and immac-
ulate as snow at first downfall. If
you don't want to wear a bouton-
Mere do that which is the latest
style stunt, wear a white pique
flower on your wrist either in brace
let fashion or caught to the cuff of
your glove.
There is notable revival of in
terest in the lovely camelia. A clus-
ter of pink and white camelias will
make any costume look important.
Then too, fancy turns to realistic
looking roses this year, favored both
as millinery trimming and to wear
with your costume. Fruit clips are
also worn. Clusters of little yellow
lemons are particularly attractive.
Even more amusing and very dec
orative are the miniature vegetable
clips in natures own coloring.

Youthful Fixings
Give Pretty Touch

Pile on all the devastatingly pref
ty furbelows you crave to wear, in
dulge in all the utterly frivolous
and adorable style idiocyncrasies
that you can find in the store dis
plays, for the decree has gone forth
from fashion headquarters that the
fair sex must be deliberately pretty
and young looking this season. The
"teens" will fill this big order wear
ing little girl'' dresses that have
short swing skirts that audaciously
fiaunt glimpses of petticoat frills.
They will wear demure bonnets tied
under the chin or wide-brimmed
breton sailors that abruptly dash up
ward in conspicuous off-the-face
manner.
Those older in years, but not in
spirit, will drink of fashions foun-
tain of youth, satisfying their thirst
with billowy masses of gay-colored
wells that do away, as if by magic,
with telltale signs of approaching
age. They will wear flowers on their
hats and their costumes. Skirts will
be pleated to slenderize at the hip
line, yet give ample swing move
ment to the hemline. Silk prints
will hatter and fiatter. Gloves will
add color to the picture. Yes, in
deed, it is a young" season
throughout every phase of fashion
planned for spring and summer,
whether we be "sweet sixteen" or
at the "life begins at forty" period.
