LOS ANGELES. May 2l.-This is

body they've been neglecting all
these years
Take the word of an expert train
er, you 35's and over, you can de-
fate that balloon effect in front.
and tighten that sag in the back
And you don't have to break your
neck to do it.
The authority for all this is Dean
Cromwell, famed track coach at the
University of Southern California
and molder OF many a world cham
pion.
Mr.. cromwell's prescription is
simple. All you need to carry 1t
through are one pair of legs, one
pair of arms. a little time each day
and few blocks of city pavement.
The legs are for walking. The
arms are for hoisting your body
In detail, here's what Coach
Cromwell says:
Walk 2 miles each day. Walk
them at spirited clip. Feel with
every step that you are accomplish
ing something. Come up high on
your toes. That brings those leg
muscles into play.
What? You haven't any leg
muscles? Oh. yes you have. even
If they aren't prominent enough to
hold up your sock garters. Give
this heel and toe thing a whirl and
you'll discover muscles you thought
you didn't have. You'll be amazed
at the results.
The arm exercises are next.
After the walk, Just before your
shower. try chinnine yourself on
bar. Do it as often as you can.
Increase the number as the days
pass-and you are able
You have no bar? See if the
curtain rod over the shower is
strong enough, or find a tree out in
the yard. Your neighbors may
think you're little nutty. but they
probably think that already.
This chinning the bar routine
does things. 1t reawakens those
dormant muscles. the arm muscles.
1t takes in the stomach slack. and
reduces the bag on the hips you've
been sitting on too long.
Diet? You can eat most anything,
but here's one other exercise. Push
yourself firmly away from those
rich pastries and cakes. 1t won't be
dificult.

u. S. Urged to Give Back

NEW YORK. May 81 (P.-Mayor
r. H. La Guardia suggested to Con-
press Yesterday that any increases
in existing Federal taxes imposed
to avoid imitation be made return
able to the taxpayer in postwar
yearly instaliments.
The suggestion was contained In
a letter to Chairman Doughton OF
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee and members Of the COM
mittee. IN which he also expressed
fear lasting and irreparable dam
age" might be caused if the Federal
Government should reach into pres
ent sources of municipal revenue.
Mayor La Guardia proposed that
the percentage increase of any ex-
isting tax imposed to forestal in
fiation "be offset by a return to
the taxpayer Of n-transferable,
non -assignable, non-attachable and
non-interest- bearing certificate pay

or three years after the war"

was caused by the fact that COM
manding Gen. Jonathan M. VAIN
wright was forced to move artillery
to meet threat OF invasion on the
beaches of the bay.
1T was impossible to fire effec-
lively from the regular positions
into the Manila Bay area" Capt.
Kraus wrote, because of masking
trees near the gun positions and
also due to the fact that there would
have been too much dead space
where shells could not be landed
on the bay near the beaches.
"On the other hand, once the
guns were moved to the beach posi-
tions 1t was impossible for them to
mass fires on the main Japanese
thrust on our right center. There
was not enough artillery to cover
both sectors.
The japanese thrust on the right
center therefore probably met rela-
lively little artillery fire in sector
where the avenue of approach was
most favorable TO the attacker."

said. enabled batteries to locate "all

But the terrain. mainly covered by
dense Jungle growth and creased by
mountain gorges from 300 to 1000
feet deep with almost perpendicular
walls, was a hindrance rather than
a help to the defense. he said. These

high. were excellent corridors of
approach for entire companies at a

Committee members said there
had been no serious discussion OF
President Roosevelt's recent sug-
sestion that individual incomes be
held TO s25 900 a year after payment
of taxes. although the new rates
would mean that man would have
to earn more than S50,000 a year
before he would have that amount
left.
As in the case of the Treasury's
recommendation for $1,000 900 600
in new corporation taXes-the COM
mittee approved only $500 900 900
the members made a sizable cut in
Secretary Morgenthau'S revised re-
quest for So SOC, 10000 in additional
revenue from individuals.
Actually. however, considering
Treasury estimates on the yield from
a committee e-approved requirement
that married couples file joint re-
turns. the Government would pick
up more than $1,000 10000 from
individuals.

be added 10 per cent Of $500 as an
average for other reductions, or a
total of SLIGO. This would mean ex-
emptions of $146.66 a month. His
estimated net taxable income would
then be S53.44 a month. A maximum
10 per cent collection would be made
on that base-S5.3 SO month. Those

The House Ways and Means
Committee sought today to work
out a new system of regular In.

taxes to soften the blow OF
steeply increased rates in the
low-lncome brackets.
Hardly had the committee COM
pleted its new individual tax pro-
gram by raising the range OF sur
taxes from 6-77 per cent to 1871
per cent than it turned to Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau's pro-
posal to collect up to 10 per cent OF
taxable income from salaries and
wages
That plan would authorize the
Treasury Department., perhaps in
September, to make regular deduc-
tions from paychecks which would
be used as credit against the tax
bill due next March Is. At present
income taxes may be paid in quar-
terly installments II desired.
The committees new income tax
proposals would add an estimated
s2,756,0OO,000 to the $4,000. 900 900
now collected. with heavy emphasis
on incomes below 5000.
Exemptions Lowered.
The program would be based on
$500 exemptions for single persons
and $1,000 for husbands and wives,
49, 80 ad
of 4. and minimum surtax rates
starting at double the present level
of 6 per cent on the first $4,000 OF
net income.
The committee, rejecting Treas
ury suggestion, decided to retain the
present 10 per cent earned income
credit up to $4,000 in computing
normal taxes only and also kept the
present S400 exemption for de-
pendentS
Thus. the committee would bring
into the income tax fold for the
first time single persons earning as
little as $40 a week, would increase
the average l0,000-a-year Congress
members tax from about $1,000 to
about $4,000. and would increase the
tax of a 50,000-a-year-man from
about $4,000 to S25,0OO.
There was no indication of just
how many people would be added to
the 100000 who now pay income

tions.
