are seldom thought of individually.
Behind these four famous voices, how
ever, are four distinctly different per-
sonalities.
Silver-toned top tenor, Ray Yeates,

Sthe ease of true musicianship, he has
slipped admirably into his envied place

age was taught the Negro spirituals.
Eventually he made his way to en-

Virginia where he studied voice and
choral work under the noted Negro
composer, r. Nathaniel Dett, and play
ed in the band under the direction of
William O. Tesmond. He has appear
ed vita the Dixie Jubilee Singers un-
der the direction of Eva Jessye in mo-
ton pictures and radio. He was the
dock singer in the Theatre Union pro-

the motion picture "Jezebel" starring
Miriam Hopkins, as well as in the
production of "Porgy and Bess", and

Jay Stone Toney, baritone, was born

window decorator. He sang in local
church choirs, but did no professional
singing until he became a member of

Of cheerful, jovial nature, he is ad-
mirably suited to this task.
William Edmondson, b S, comes

in Spokane, Washington, and attended

the football and baseball teams and
organized the colleges first glee club.
On graduating, he studied voice for
two years at Chicago Musical College.

Chairman Doughton of the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee cut short his vacation and
returned to the Capital today
amid renewed discussions for
and against a sales tax as a
source of extra money for the
war effort.
! Mr.. Doughton came back from
/ North Carolina earlier than he had
expected to, anxious to check on the
Treasury's ideas for new and higher
taxes to meet President Roosevelt's
demands for $4,000, ,O0o, 900 more
than now is collected.
The chairman probably will meet
with Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau tomorrow. He conferred
Immediately with Colin Stamm
committee tax expert.
Coinciding with his arrival, some
congressional tax sources said they
believed there was too much senti-
ment against sales tax for such
bill to become law.
The Treasury itself has been
against sales tax, and its opposi-
tion was assailed anew today by
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
who said:
1T is entirely inconsistent for the
Treasury to urge enormous increases
in taxes without Incorporating in
such program sales tax, which
look upon as proper and just war
tax"
Mr.. Doughton has said he would
support sales tax only as last
resort"
He declined to discuss a state
ment by Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee that fur
ther drastic increases of individual
income taxes might destroy the Ma
tion's little men"
"Of course, there's a limit to which
you can 90 without injuring the in
dividual and drying up industry
he said, but added:
Still, it's not fair to pass on the
burden of the war debts to future
generations. We've got a problem
on our hands and we're going to dc
the best we can with it."
Hearings Begin September 8.
Despite acknowledged opposition
the question again will be before
Congress when the House Ways and
Means Committee begins hearings
September 8, Senator Byrd asserted
The Virginian said that without
sales tax he did not see how more
than about $4,000 900, 900 additional
revenue could be obtained.
The Senator reiterated his belief
that besides asking for more in
come the administration should cut
down unessential outgo. In this
connection he disclosed that the

Warren Rules Relief
In Charwomen's S Case
Is Barred by Law

There is no relief which may be
granted" by the General Accounting
once in the case of the charwomen
at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing who are being required to
refund excess payments made to
them by an error on the part of
administrative officers. Controller
General Warren today wrote Chair
man Randolph of the House Dis
trict Committee
"It would appear that the action
OF the Treasury Department in re-
quiring the charwomen to refund
the overpayment of compensation is
correct; and that, under existing law,
there is no relief which may be
granted in the matter by this office, {"
Mr. Warren said.
THE fact that the overpayment
resulted through an error on the
part of the administrative office.
with no fault on the part of the
employees, is no justification for this
Office to allow credit for the amount
of the erroneous payments" he ex-
planned.
Clearly, these employees were paid
at rate in excess of the rate which
the Congress specifically fixed.
Where salary is expressly fixed by
law, as in this instance, there is no
authority in an administrative Office
to pay or to promise to pay a diff
ferent or higher rate. Of course, it
