Princess Elizabeth Urged
To Mix More With Public

LONDON, Oct. 0-Suggestions
that Princess Elizabeth should be
given more opportunity to mix with
the public and other young men
and women of her age have been
made in the House of Commons.
The subject came up yesterday
during the second reading of the
regency bill to allow the princess to
become at counselor of state when
she reaches the age of Is next year
instead of waiting until she is 81.
Laborite Arthur Greenwood pro-
posed that her education should be
conducted in association and CO.
operation with others of her own
age 80 that she might fulfill her
responsibilities with knowledge and
experience of life"
1T is the desire of the King and
Queen that Princess Elizabeth should
have every opportunity of gaining
experience in the duties which
would fall on her in the event of
her accession to the throne" La

Bill 10 Permit Paid
War Bond Advertising
Supported by Tobey
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A bill empowering the Treasury to
spend s30,Oo0,0OO year in paid
newspaper advertising to boost War
bond sales won the support of Sem
ator Tobey, Republican, of New
Hampshire today, but one of his
colleagues called for safeguards
against political propaganda"
Newspapers should not be ex-
pected to furnish free to the Gov
ernment the space upon which they
depend for existence" said Senator
Tobey, member of the Senate
Banking Committee which resumed
hearings on the bill introduced by
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama.
Senator Danaher. Republican, Of
Connecticut. also a member of the
committee, objected to what he said
was lack of "any restriction as to
what could go into the advertise
ments.''
I've seen some bond promotions
prepared by the Treasury that con-
tained bigger pictures of President
Roosevelt than would go into the
ordinary newspaper" Senator Dan
aher said AT least they ought to
be required to print the picture of
his political opponent, too, and
quote him as being for the sale of
War bonds also. One of the things
wrong with the bill is thatit doesn't
set up any restrictions against po-
Atical propaganda"
Senator Danaher said he also
thought that the bill should have a
more detailed formula for distribu-
tion OF the advertisements among
newspapers.
The bill now provides that the adj
vertising space purchased by the
Treasury shall be divided equitably
among all newspapers of general
circulation" in cooperation with
recognized publishers associations,
with half the fund to be used in
newspapers published in cities of
under 10000 population and half in
cities over 10000.

Cost Of Security Program
Estimated and Appraised.


Everybody is talking about social Sc
curity, and most of all the Government.
But hardly anybody thinks about its
cost, least of all the Government.
Recently, I made study of what an
American Beveridge plan would cost. 1
arrived at an estimate of $4,000 900 900
a year, or as much as we spent for relief
in the seven-year period from 1885, 1912.
Even if we have national income
after the war of 100000 900 900, this
means that IS per cent would be sWal-
lowed up by social security. Add to this
the per cent tax for old age, the per
cent Victory tax, the 10 per cent for War
bonds, which We are all glad to pay, and
between 10 and Is per cent and even
more, for income tax, not to mention
what We are paying in indirect taxes
and you have about one-half of the
average wage or salary going for taxes.
In other words, we have to make up
our minds how much We are going to
pay out of our pockets for what is abso-
lutely necessary to win this war and
what we are asked to pay by those who
attempt to turn the needs of a small
part of our people into a vast political
issue.
Social insurance sounds wonderful.
Almost like Utopia. But the American
people are hard-headed. They know
they have to choose between either sit

Just watch, trying TO be without
prejudice. and in time you will find that
in at least one point the bird is ad-
mirable.
Shortly you will discover another good
trait
When you happen to catch the sun
shine exactly right, AS it glances off the
birds feathers, and you see what a
ieWeled beauty he is, YOU will agree that
seeing the things of nature in their best
lights is not altogether matter of
mind and heart, although 1t is that too,
but often is just simple matter of
physical sight.
We hope no one, reading the above,
gets the idea that the writer here is an
admirer of the music of Brahms.
His music leaves us cold.
We are proud of catholicity of
musical taste which ranges from You're
the Only Star in My Blue Heaven" to
the great symphonic masterpieces of
Beethoven and Bruckner, but have as
yet to work up genuine liking for
Brahms.
If We hear an orchestra work which
we honestly do not care for, we almost
always put it down as the work of
Brahms-and are almost always right.
Few persons who talk about early rob-
ms realize what fine musicians they are.
The robin has much more persuasive
repertoire than some more celebrated
bird singers.
His usual effort is sort of MARBLE,
rising at times to almost rhapsodical
effect. There are few birds whose nor
NAL song so combines with the very air.
This is the real spring song, this song
Of the robin, but it Is often overlooked,
even by listeners who know about it, in
catching the more pointed songs of the
woodthrush and others.
Yet the robin song is real music, and
more than that 1t is essential to the
whole bird chorus as a sort of back
ground.
Nothing is finer than the robins song
at dusk. Often 1t Is carried on until
real darkness falls Especially when rain
is about to fall, the robin puts in some
new effects, and never stops, going on
| wildly and beautifully.
This rain song" of the robin is splen-
did music, but we fear that some listen
ers like 1t no more than we do the
music Of Johannes Brahms.
That OF course, is loss for all of us
The robin is the one bird which every
body knows.
| 1t is never confused with another as
the fox sparrow with the woodthrush
An excited resident of Greenbelt called
up the other day and told about wood
thrush" which he had had since Janu-
airy 10, he said.
We fear he had fox sparrow, but that
too, is fine bird. Woodthrushes seldom
come here before April %. This yea,
we believe they will arrive somewfa,
| earlier.

Ruml Plan Seen
Already Gin Effect"

To the Editor of The Star:
During all of the discussions on the
Ruml plan, has it occurred to any one
at the Treasury Department that, willy
nilly, they are already operating on this
plan?
AS 1 understand the Treasury's objec-
ton, they are afraid that they will lose
tax revenue for one year by setting the
tax clock ahead. The main purpose of
a pay-as-you-go plan is to avoid an
impossible situation when the war boom
collapses-i. e., millions of people owing
taxes with no money to pay them. Now,
1T seems to me that the Treasury has
cholce-accept the so-called forgive
ness of 1912 taxes, or face up to the
inevitable consequence that millions of
people will default the much higher
taxes that no doubt will be in effect at
the wars end. The amount of these de-
faults undoubtedly will exceed the
amount forgiven" for 1912 Similar
arithmetic should make the choice easy.
It's all very we'll to say that defaulters
will be prosecuted, but common sense
dictates the answer-it's impossible to
prosecute millions of people, and mil
lions there will be.
A simple amendment to the Ruml plan
that has been proposed is that the taxes
paid in 1943 should be based either on
1912 income or 1913 income, whichever
Is the larger. This seems to me to be
such simple, easy solution to the whole
matter, and such a sound proposal that
1t is incredible that the Treasury ex-
perts continue to oppose It. After all,
whose money Is 1t. theirs or ours7
