FILLING THE LOOPHOLES

If we we're 10 follow the suggestions OF Prot. lutz
Of Princeton University, and simplify our tox struc-
ture by adopting single overall bosic tax for oil
persons Of normal incone-o tox withheld OF source
ond requiring neither yeor-end return or intermedi
ote tax estimotes-there would be certain obvious
loophoIes TO be filled
One is the person whose income tokes him into
higher surtox brockets Obviously he would have to
file return This could be smpIified by treating
the initial income against which toxes we're withheld
os closed book, and requiring that he compute mere
~ upon the surtoxobe income.
Another is the person whose Withholding tox IN
come is supplemented by earnings from other sources
He should account for those earnings. Most simply
he could do if by paying the Withholding roe on
enough Of them to bring the aggregate up to the top
Of the normal" bracket, and if they ron over into
surtox proportions, he would poy the proper surtox
A third is the person whose deductions and credits
ore obnormoIIy large, who would be defrouded by
being toxed os on overoee Garner. There ore two
possibilities here The simplest IS TO fix on average
that would allow for such coses and forget the mat
ter The forrest is to permit any person who feels
that he would profit thereby ond willing to 90 TO
the trouble TO prepore computation Of his tax SINH
lar to thot with which we ore now fomiIior.
Even then, the toxpoyer would benefit because for
his initial bracket he would be paying one tax Of "a
per cent computed on single income bose plus sur
toxes figured the some bose, insteod Of having to
work out three different net incomes from the same
octuoI earnings, and oppy different tox to each Of
those incomes.
These suggestions, which stem from but do not
necessarily coincide with Prof. Lutzs proposals,
offered now because Congress has eorned how the
people feel, ond would like to simplify the ndescrib
obIy involved tox structure.
They might serve OF Ieost os O point Of departure
for discussion Of something thot is too important to
let the experts" decide without benefit Of public
opinion.

HOLLYWOOD-Keenly aware of

Sports fans and church-goers are
two groups which 10Th Century
Fox hopes to interest in the Ricken-

Although the script is not yet
OKed and cameras are not scheduled
to turn until late January, an ace pub
llcity man has been concentrating for
some time on the public relations
problem raised by picture for which
an important part of the movie public
has indicated its aversion.
The campaign to get plugs on sport
pages for the Rickenbacker film was
launched by Christy Walsh at the
World Series games in New York.
Walsh is Winfield Sheehan's partner
in producing the picture for 2Oth-Fox
and of course is widely known. in the

centration of U. S. sports writers was
an ideal opportunity to start the but

five years ago, that the Act would
ruin business, now feel that it has
been most beneficial to both work

WHEN A Polish church i'm New
London was rededicated recently,
and a new parsonage opened, it
was an event that meant much to
the Pensioners. Among the pictures
taken by the NesO London Days
photographer was one about which
the clerics were particularly con-
cerned-a group of four priests,
taking part, and the visiting auxili-
AIRY bishop. To safeguard himself,
the photographer took two shots.
But in developing the negatives,
with but a short time to get a cut
out for use that day, he was hor-
rified to note that he evidently had
gotten hold of two defective films.
One had small light spots, or holes
in the emulsion, all over it. The
other had a good sized light spot
over the bishops left eye and part
of his cheek. No one in the plant
had sufficient skill to do the delicate
retouching needed and there was
no time to seek outside assistance.
The light spot printed black. giving
the bishop the appearance of hav-
ing beautiful sinner.

AS desperate expedient the film
was turned over in the enlarger,
with exactly the same extension to
produce a print the same size, and
reverse print obtained, transfer
ring the sinner to the other eye, and
taking care to get the print of the
same tones as the original. Then
the good eye (nOw transferred in
the reverse print to the left) was
carefully cut out and applied to the
original print, concealing the sinner
and giving the bishop the eye he
needed. The screen to the engrav-
ing process SO broke up the faint
lines of the pasted-on eye that ii
was impossible to tell that any sub
stitution had been made, in the
finished result. 1t was the first and
only time that the Day ever ran a
picture of a bishop who had two
right eyes, instead of right and
left.
