Dried Vegetables
May Providel.V.
With New Market

Demand for dried vegetables by
the armed forces promises a new
development in vegetable market
ing that is being closely followed
by Imperial Valley growers and
shippers" County Farm Advisor
Frank Beyschlag said Thursday
Valley growers and shippers be-
came interested when 1t. Col. Paul
P. Logan of the office of quarter
master general said the armed
forces intend to purchase 25,000O00
pounds of dried potatoes, onions,
| cabbage, carrots, beetS, sweet pota-
toes, and rutabogas this season.
The 1912 supplies of dried veget-
ables have been largely contracted
and considerable portion of them
will come from California.
Early or out of season produce

gives the valley in fresh vegetable
production. Acre yields will be an
/ important factor in cost of produc-
ton and in determining Imperial

Funcie S
By Paul Harrison

! Miss WadsWorth is a local blond
whose principal achievement was
winning the title of Miss High
School by posing in a bathing suit.
There may be some question
about her natural histrionic talent.
but admirers on the lot point out
that Sally is ambitious and willing
to take direction - although just
now she is inclined to take it bit
too literally. For instance, Miss
WadsWorth took part in an RKO
Little Theater play recently and
was invited by the coach to in
vent some bit of business which
might serve to attract attention
and thus build up her meagcr role.
The newcomer responded while
crossing the stage in front of the
leading man by giving that STAR
tied actor a vicious kick in the
shinS.
SHE SLABS
The other day Miss Wadsworth
was one of the guests on Jane
Withers' street car party, a novel
affair arranged for picture mag
azine. A street car was chartered
and the young folks picked up
three soldiers.
Welcoming this patriotic inter-
Jude, the boss photographer chose
Sally WadsWorth and two other
cuties and instructed them. When
we get to the station and the SOL
dicrs start to get off, each of you
grab man and give him a smack
on the check, and I'll get a shot
of it,"
When the moment of leave
taking came, and the other two
girls were delivering suitably chaste
but cordial kisses to their soldiers,
Miss WadsWorth hauled off and
slapped her man. Sally is a gal
Who'll calls a kiss a kiss, and
smack a sock in the kiSSer,
JUST IN CASE
Perhaps it should be explained
that studio dramatic coaches do
not encourage their hopefuls in
the arts of scenery chewing, as
certain types of hammy perform
ances are called, or in the tricks Of
upstaging or demonstrating. Yet a
working knowledge of all such
things is valuable to young players
who some day may find themselves
in pictures with John Barrymore,
Basil Rathbone, Jack Oakie or
other ruthless members of the craft
There's a story at Universal
about the last time an agent nego-
tiated a deal there for Basil Rath-
bone. The studio was willing to pay
the actor $4,000, but the agent
was holding out for $75,Oc0 for the
picture After considerable palaver
an executive shrugged and said,
"Okay, you win-but you won't get
it all in real money. Well pay $780,
600 in cash and allow Rathbone to
chew up $4,000 worth of scenery"

Sugar Beet Seed
Demands Special
Treatment Here

Farm Advisor Frank Beyschlag
advised Imperial Valley farmers
Thursday that sheared sugar beet
seed in many soils require a stronger
seed treatment to prevent damp
ing off than ordinary beet seed.
Tests made by the college of ag-
riculture of the University of Cali
fornia on sheared seed, that is the
seed obtained by breaking apart
the multiple seeds of ordinary sugar
beet seed balls, showed special care
is necessary. The seedlings from
Sheared seed are more susceptible
to damping off than those from
ordinary beet seed. busting the
seed with ceresan controlled the
disease but a so per cent stronger
dosage is required. The sheared
seed requires IL per cent dosage,
while 2 per cent dosage was too
strong
The sheared sugar beet seed
makes possible the use of lighter
rates of seeding. These promise to
reduce the amount of labor needed
for thinning the stand. At the
same time, the light seed rates re-
qlire greater control of damping-
off if satisfactory stands are to be
obtained.

Gates of a general sales tax, al
though they said they would con-
tinue their campaign.
But it was a moral victory for
the treasury which has been seek
ing to broaden the income tax base
as a weapon against initiation. The
treasury recommended last week
that exemptions be cut to 81 200 for
married persons and 5000 for sim
gle persons, and that the present
$500 exemption for dependents be
cut to $500. The committee did not
change the dependency exemption.
There was no way of telling
what the committees move would
yield in new revenues until the
committee votes a schedule of rates,
which it is expected to do within
few days.
But it was definite that between
100000 and 100000 persons who
never have filed income tax re-
ports will be required TO do SO next
year and that many of them will
have to pay some taxes.
1t also was definite that persons
in the $1,000 to $4,000 income
range are going to get a big jolt,
perhaps the biggest, under the new
abolition.
The treasury also was overruled
b. the committee on its recon-
mendation to abandon the De
pletion Allowances special in
come tax credit allowed corpora

The committee voted q TO 4 to
retain the >present allowance. The

Survivors Tell Of
Mass Bomb Attacks
On ; Destroyers

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, May a.
tUP)-For more than four hours
German planes came from all direc-
tons, attacking savagely in waves
OF IL and Is. There was no letup
until two destroyers had been sunk
and a third was left blazing fierce
ly.
That was the story told today by
survivors of three British destroyers
the Lively, Kipling and Jackal-
which were sunk Monday afternoon
in the eastern Mediterranean.
1T was one Of the fierceSt air
attacks we have ever seen in the
Mediterranean one survivor said.
Some of the creWmen were sunk
twice within a few hours
A petty officer on one of the vic
tim ships said majority of the
survivors owed their lives to the
commander of the destroyer Jervis,
the only one of the four destroyers
to remain afloat.
FIRST ATTACK
He brought his ship along the
side of the burning Jackal in pitch
darkness, enabling about 500 men
from the other three destroyers to
walk to safety" the petty officer
said
I'VE were steaming in a diamond
formation between Libya and Crete
when we we're first attacked about
p.m.," he continued.
The Lively was hit twice but
! continued at full speed, then turned
over on her side and sank in four
minutes. The Kipling was hit about
pm. and buckled amidships, float
ing on her side for some time before
sinking. The final waves of bomb
erS disabled the Jackal, and we later
had to sink her because there was
no chance of eXtinguishing her
fires"

Treasury Studies
Tax on Taxes

WASHINGTON, May Ii. tUP)-
Secretary of Treasury Henry Nor
genthau, jr., said today that the
treasury is studying proposal for
a small tax on everyone who files
an income tax return, regardless
of the amount of the income.
The proposal, suggested by Chair
man Walter F. George, D., Ga,
of the senate finance committee
would consist of an examination tax
to pay for the cost OF examining
all returns.
This would help us a great deal
in examining the great number of
new taxpayers, Morgenthau said.
IF we can do this legally, we'll
recommend it. Something like this
would be very wholesome"
Morgenthau said the treasury also
is considering action to prevent
evasion of corporation taxes through
sudden and excessive salary raises
for corporation officials and en-
ployes.

Earthquake Kills

was observed in the downtown area
where the three acknowledgements
buildings were wrecked A four
story building tumbled within 10
seconds after the first shock.
The quake was followed by numer-
Gus fires throughout the damaged
area, but most of the blazes were
soon brought under control. The
civilian population rushed wildly
through the streets for several mo-
ments after the first shock.
First reports indicated several
statues of historical value were de-
stroyed. Cities in interior Ecuador
reported less-violent shocks.
Book cases and filing cabinets in
the United Press bureau toppled
over and the electric lights temper
arily failed. Equipment for receiv-
ing and sending news, was not dam
aged and service soon was restored
The temblor was felt at the Unit
ed Press radio station in a Guaya-

Earthquakes are not uncommon
along the western coast of South
America. On May %, 1910, $50 per-
sons were killed at Callao, Lima and

] ok Exemptions
SIushed to Bone

WASHINGTON, May IA (UP) -
The house ways and means COM
mittee today neared a decision on
1912 income tax rates after voting
to cut personal exemptions SO low
that many housemaids and part
time workers would have to file
returns next year.
Even buck privateS in the army
if the pending pay raise to $50 a
month is finally voted-Would have
to pay an income tax.
The committee voted, II to Z,
late yesterday to reduce personal
exemptions from $500 to $1,000
for married persons and $3.50 to
$500 for single persons. That reach
es down to single persons who earn
only 1892 a week and to married
persons whose weekly wage is only
$2308.
Actually people earning that lit
tic would not have to pay taxes
because of other deductions allow
able-contributionS, other taxes and
the 10 per cent earned income re-
duction.
SOLDIER WOULD PAY
But soldier under the pending
pa schedule would get $500 a
year. If he we're single and had
no allowable deductions to make
other than the 10 per cent earned
income deduction, he would have a
taxable income of $40. On this

liked next year-this hypothetical
soldier would pay a 81 income tax

devoted to Brazilian songs, the two
composers, Villa-Lobos and Mig
none, representing their country's
musical creations. The spirited q
cappella singing tn Villa-Lobos' 20
Trensinho" reused the most enthu-
siastic applause. It was followed by
Richard Donovan's Fantasy on
American Folk Ballads" the only
number sung with piano accompani-
ment. This was supplied by Egydio
de Castro e Silva and Harry B. Ray,
who played the difficult two-piano
score with assurance. The music is
vigorous in rhythm and the singers
showed their excellent musicianship
in this unusual work that was an
arrangement of q White Spiritual
from 1929 and the traditional Vir.
ginia ballad, "Old Bangum."
Familiar spirituals such as 'The
Battle Of Jericho" and Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot" in which the Yale
men have a style of their own,
formed the next group and was re-
ceived with such favor that several
others were added. The voca, blend
ing Of the singers is unusually fine,
the resonant quality Of their voices
being equally distributed between
the different sections. The attacks
are clean cut and the delivery Is
snappy due to Mr.. Bartholomew
vigorous directing and his expert
knowledge Of polyphony. Solo parts
were taken by Frank LeBar and
Russell Mower, both young men
showing excellent training.
The program concluded with a
group Of songs from other American
republics Of which "Pues bien yo
necesito," arranged by c. Sanchez
Malaga Of Peru, and La Conch'e
perla" by Rosa Mercedes Ayarza de
Morales, also of Peru, we're the most
outstanding. Other numbers in this
group included "Cancion del NAL
TEMPO" by Alberto Williams Of Ar
gentina; "Hallazgo," arranged by AL
fonzo Letelier of Chile, and Eel Ar
royo," by Eduardo Fabini Of Uru-
quay A beautifully-toned singing of

Mr.. Kirsch is cellist fully aware
of the possibilities Of the instrument
and gifted In the matter OF tone,
fluent technique and innate feeling
to make the most Of them. Miss
Russell has bouyancy to her play
ing that lifts her superior mechani-
cal mastery to q higher plane and
. refinement Of style that made her
a sensitive partner in the recital.
The excellent ensemble attained by
the two artists provided one Of the
major enjoyments Of their perform
ance
This was especially felt in the
Martinu sonata, where difficulties
are numerous and only to be over
come by sound musicianship. The
composer has written a work that
is a masterpiece and which ex-
ploits both instruments while
reaching an unusual degree Of unity.
He has brought them together in
his skillful structure so as to give
q notable degree of tonal blending
and thereby contributed notably to
the literature Of this instrumental
combination.
The work Is gripping for its
strongly emphasized moods and i'm
pressive through the individuality
OF its harmonic usage. The first
movement has q ripping character,
spontaneous and carefree In its
melody and flowing ease contributed
essentially by unique fluid quality
which he has brought out In each
instrument The largo has almost
the imprint OF dirge, soulful and
tragic In its rich chords yet re-
markably beautiful in the noble ma
ture Of its emotion. 1t is moving
and poetic at the same time, q bit
of inspirational writing that has
hardly an equal in the modern out
put.
The apogee Of the composers in
dividuality of style is reached in
the third movements, where sud-
den changes Of rhythm and sharply
marked counter-rhythms, intriguing
harmonic interplay and the vigor of
musical expression are woven
together with extraordinary bril-
liancy. It Is tour de force for both
players, especially In the matter Of
smooth ensemble which Miss Russell
and Mr.. Kirsch accomplished In
mastery fashion. While giving rein
to . free and full exploitation of
his superb talent At construction
and his lively fancy which Is colored
by national traits, Martinu writes
superbly for the instruments, ex-
plotting the complete range Of
their capabilities.
The composer, who was awarded
the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge
medal at the Library Of Congress
in 1882 for a string quartet which
was performed then for the first
time. was present and shared the
ovation that was accorded the artists
after their performance.
The program included the
