George Hints Boost
In individual Taxes
Over House Figure
Holds Corporation Rotes
Too High; Senote Group
Sets Closed Sessions
D. the Associated Press.

D. the Associated Press.
With the double objective of
averting initiation and finding
more war funds, CHI r m a n
George OF the Senate Finance
Committee called today for frank
and candid" consideration Of the
individual income tax provisions
OF the new revenue bill.
That will be the first matter to
come before the committee Monday
when 1t begins two weeks of execu-
tive consideration of the measure,
As it passed the House, the bill called
for $6,271 900 900 more taxes over a
full years operation, including about
$4,000, 900, 900 more from individual
income taxpayers.
Hints Personal Tax Rise.
Senator George implied to news
papermen that individuals might be
asked for even larger contributions
when he declared that from the
standpoint of the Treasury, this is
the harvest time, and later on, with
declining incomes, it will be too
late"
"If We are serious about paying
for this war and checking the ris-
ing costs due to imitation, now is
the time for us to act" he said.
Senator George said there was
possibility the committee might ap-
prove some modification of the pay
as-you-go' income tax collection
plan advanced by Beardsley Ruml.
chairman Of the New York Federal
Reserve Bank. The plan could best
be coupled with collection of taxes
at the source, he said.
The Ruml proposal calls for
bookkeeping operation by which the
taxes on 1912 incomes, normally col
lectible In l943, would be Cancelled
and the payments credited against
1943 taxes, thus putting The tax
payers on a current basis.
Senator George said that the
source tax should at least equal the
8 per cent normal tax rate, and
probably more, and should be ap-
plicable to the bulk of ali individual
income-professional fees as we'll as
salaries and dividends. The House
has approved per cent withhold
ing levy against salaries and divi-
dends next year-not, however, as
an additional tax, but simply an
advance collection on 1943 income.
Would Double in 1914.
IN 1914, under the House plan, 10
Der cent of such income would be
withheld
Senator George said he thought the
proposed IS per cent combined nor
NAL and surtax rate on corporations
was "too high" unless provision were
made for postwar refunds.
When the total effective tax, in
cluding the excess profits tax, gets
up above 80 per cent-and we've
had statements showing that quite
a number of corporations will have
to pay as high as 881a per cent
its perfectly obvious that without
some postwar credit those corpora
tions will be on mighty thin ice"

R-K-O Radio for one Of the choicest
roles ever handed screen new
conner. the lead In Name, Age and
Occupation" which Producer -Direc-
tor Pare Lorentz is filming from his
own script.
A graduate OF Dartmouth, where

of actors interviewed.

We shall consider them"
The drawback to these ladies is
that they all have long hair and
Maris's head is sheared to the scalp.
IL their hair is chopped of they
will either have TO wear wigs, and
play in character or Marie Antoi-
nette parts, or be out Of the running
for months and months until their
hair has grown out again.
Imagine said Westmore. who is
the dean OF studio makeup men.
Think Of 1t, II you can. I can't.
You know what would happen II
any OF those women had q shear
ing. Millions OF women would fol-
low suit, and thered be q universal
nightmare. The coiffeur business
would break up overnight"
Four Pearl Marias.
Three Of these ladies. anyway. in
sist they wouldn't mind being
shesred to play Maria. They
wouldn't care II their heads were
shaven. like the heroines in Russian
documentary films. or the French star
who acted in The Passion of Joan
of Arc" picture that was q huge
success. but set no style at all. or
not for the beauty parlors.
Four ladies in Spain sent letters
TO Paramount by clipper ship. each
insisting she was the original Maria,
and even had razor hicks on her
scalp to prove her head had been
shaved during the trouble circa
1895. De Sylvia was very much
struck by the letters. he answered
them, and asked for more informa-
ton, and would they please send In
photographs.
Il don't know that anything will
be proved" says Westmore. Except
that the ladies had some clumsy
BARRIERS.
1T will be some very well-known
star. think. I'm afraid I shall
have to shear her, but can do IL
without hicks. A star with a head
as smooth as a door knob ought to
look very striking. I know 1t viii
make her eyes look bigger. And the
distinction between blonds and
brunettes will be effaced. South
America and Spain like blonds, but
they prefer brunettes. Maria could
qualify In both capacities, being
neither, so far as hair is concerned.
Maybe she could make q tour--a
kind of gesture Of pan-American
friendship
1T will be q pretty black outlook
for beauty shops though-if-"
