COLD IN PLANE

IT was cold in the plane. II had
been winterized, but flying at 5000
feet, the dampness seems to pene-
trate through the heavy flying
suit.
1t was a perfect landing that
Burbridge made when he brought
the plane IN. He TAXED back TO
his hangar and invited me in for
a cup Of tea.
We had just finished the tea
when the phone rang. II was his
superior telling him 10 make the
same flight again with different
navigators and another wireless
operator
There YOU have IT," he said
as he went out the door.

Marry or

Film Theme
BY CHARLES GENTRY

MARRIAGE, AS we all know,
is an institution. and il looks as
though all the Hollywood scenario
writers were confined TO il.
over a year ago this department
warned that the comedy theme in
films would me "Oh. Promise Me"
but we never expected TO be so
overcome with welded bliss and
blisters that we would never see
a movie about single people again.
AT the outset farces about young
marrieds proved not only good box
office, but also a convenient dodge
for the sex angle. Even the strict
est cenSors can't get mad if guy
takes two minutes 10 kiss his own
wife.
Pinches in the clinches and cud-
dies in a huddle were perfectly
okay if the heroine struck up a
band on the third finger of her
left hand.
They could run around parlor,
bedroom and bath in deshabile,
tlounging robes, pajamas or stream
lined birthday suits. so long as a
minister showed up in the first
reel
Whereas. il used TO be that lead
ing man and lady were married in
the finale and lived happily ever
latter. screen writer's took the ever
after and showed what happened if
| they lived through il.

postwar world.
The program, as presented IN an
address before the annual meeting
of the Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton, follows:
l. Use present Federal farm pro-
grams now SO that agriculture will
enter the postwar period in the
soundest possible condition.
2. Keep the farm programs strong
and flexible so that we can make
! the adjustments that will be in
eVitable after the war is over"
Must Also Import.

| 4. Maintain an ever-normal gran
| ary program based on commodity
loans and protected by tight control
of production through acreage al
lotments and marketing quotas
when necessary.
5. Make conservation farming a
reality. Learn the value of grass as
a crop.

and help see to it that all people in
America are properly fed.

Roosevelt viii Call
White House ParIey
On Tax Proposals
George Sees Pay Roll
Withholding Levy
As Inevitable
By the e,AssocIated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
= President Roosevelt will call Treas
ury experts and congressional lead
ers to a White House conference
probably next week, to seek ar
agreement on the substance of pro-
posed new tax legislation.
Plans for the meeting were dis
closed today by Chairman George
of the Senate Finance Committee
who told reporters he expected any
new revenue program to provide fol
a pay y-roll Withholding tax.
Senator George expressed the
opinion that consideration of new
revenue measure was likely to be de-
layed until January, despite urgent
Treasury appeals for speedy action
While the Georgia Senator would
not predict the form to be taken
by the new bill, he said he looked
upon the incluSion' OF payroll
withholding tax as inevitable and
believed that it might be accom-
panied by a general all-around in
crease in corporate and individual
levieS.
Suggests Several Types.
The Treasury has suggested sew
eral types of withholding taxes as
measures to forestall threats Of in
flation, including an increase in the
present social security levies. But
Senator Taft, Republican, OF Ohio
made it clear that there would be
strong opposition to the latter pro-
poSal.
IF We are going to have pay
roll tax Senator Taft declared
Tets make it an out-and-out tax
and not disguise it as a social Sc
curity levy
The Ohio Senator said he hac
little patience with the theory that
Withholding portion Of the pay
of all salaried workers would prove
an effective brake against imitation
remarking that it would entail
hardships for the 70 per cent OF
workers he said had received nc
increases despite the industrial
boom created by the defense pro-
gram
Opposes Is Per Cent Levy.
While the Treasury has suggested
a payroll tax of IS per cent. Senator
Taft. Finance Committee member
said he thought 5 per cent shoulc
be the limit, with some equaliZing
concessions made on the regular in
come levies.
The tax ought not to be dis.
criminatory against those in tht
lower brackets" he declared. Ever
If we put per cent levy on pay
rolls. that is going to force the mar
who gets $50 week and now pay!
about $50 a year income tax to pay
an additional SIS.
That would be asking too much
The additional levy ought to bt
compensated by a reduction in the
