Abbott and Costello

There's quite a story involy-
ing the stars Of Keep En-
Flying" Bud Abbott and Lou
Costello, who will get into De-
troit Tuesday-neither one Of
them was getting anywhere
until they became team.
They were starving, more or
less, as burlesque comics when
John Grant, a former Detroiter.
got them together.
From then on they clicked,
and Grant is as much a part Of
their team as Spector Is part
of Carol Bruce's success.
It's always good for converse
ton among show people to men
ton the type of material that
they use. Even on the burleque
circuits. they insisted that clean
material could be funnier than
off-color jokes.
And the man who brought
them together, Grant, who used
10 manage a burleque house. be-
lieved the same thing. He is
the son of a Methodist minister.

Monopoly Committee Gets
Report on Tax System
Fy the Associated Press.

A report to the Monopoly Com
mlttee made public yesterday de-
scrlbed the tax system as both "a
source OF public revenue and
technique of gernance" which should
"aft1rmatlvely contribute to achiev-
ing whatever objectiveS the COM
munity has set before it."
The report, entitled Taxation of
Corporate Enterprise" was written
by Clifford J. Hynning of the Com
merce Department.
The taxing power" he said, "can
easily be demonstrated to have
many advantages over ordering and
forbidding devices that are con-
ventionally employed by the police
state. It's sanctions strike at
the very sinews of economic power
the payment of money"
He listed as paramount among
the non-f1scaI desiderata of a good
tax system" these aims:
Encouragement of idleness
whether of men, machines or
money.
Preservation of opportunities,
that is, by encouraging small busi-
ness.
The curbing of monopoly.
Support of persons in need by
relieving the tax burden on persons
