Plan Expected
From Treasury

WASHINGTON. Feb ! GNS)
The treasury VIII recommend 70
Congress a pay -aS-you-Co income
tax plan rating for substantial
increases in individual income tax
payments IN 1943. authoritative
sources disclosed today.
Randolph Paul, treasury general
counsel, who handles tax leCiSla-
ton. is expected 10 submit the
treasurS's proposals 10 tho House
WAYS and means committee AT
public hearings tomorrow
Indications arc that the treasury
will recommend that a part OF the
1912 individual income taxes he
forgiven IN order 30 place taNpay-
ers on a paN-aS-you-Co basis.
CANCEL PART OF TAX
Il had been int,mated that the
treasury would suggest forCiNlng
the 1912 taxes of those in the bot
tom income brackets. However.
treasury officials are now said TO
he leaning toward proposals that
would call Tor CancChnC part OF
the 1912 taxes Of most taxpayers.
Paul is expected 10 stress the
need for placing income tax pay
mentS on a observation-disclosures
basis so far as practicable and a
quickly as possible.
II was learned that he may
suggest abandoning the idea of in
CreaSeS IN individual income tax
rates on 1913 incomes. He plans,
II is SAID. 70 emphasize the need
Of reshuffling the income tax
structure so that most taxpayers
would pay their income taxes al
the source on income as earned.
INCREASE PLANNED
This would mean a substantial
increase in income tax payments
in 1913. although there would be
no increase in rates on 1913 In
comes.
The reason for this would be
that 1913 would be a tax transi-
ton period in which there would
be considerable doubling up in tax
payments. In other words. tax
payers would pay a large part If
not all Of the uRfergipen portion
of their 1912 taxes in 1913. and
at the same time would have 1913
taxes collected 10 a considerable
extent at. the source.
An intimation Of the treasury'S
general idea is said 10 he the 20
per cent Observation-Disclosures
rate proposed by Representative
Cd of Virginia. member of the
ways and means committee.
This 20 per cent rate would
not be an additional tax. Taxes
collected under IT would be cred
tied against income taxes due, sc
that il would be merely a method
of collection.

He Yearns for Those Rabbits
Ted Steele, Who Can Do About Everything
On Radio, Is Farm Boy at Heart

duty did he learn he was to wear
a page boys uniform.
Today, he leads his own band
appears as a singer, musician, actor
announcer and master Of ceremonies
on six shows weekly on WNEW
seven shows weekly on WOR and is
master Of ceremonies for Guy Lom-
bardo.
Ted got into radio while at Trinity
College when he began announcing
on the local radio station. His
studies began to suffer, 50 he decided
that school should never be allowed
to interfere with pleasure, and left
college. His father shook his head
saying dolefully that Ted would end
up IN some honky-tonk night club.
But he went TO Hollywood (where
he lured big stars into performing
for him incognito for the expert
ence) and then, returning to New
York for that page boy Job, he ran
into Novachords.
It was this tricky organ invention
that really made Steele. A former
college classmate was a salesman
for the outfit and persuaded Ted to
drop into the salesroom to play It
When NBC asked the manufacturers
for the name Of some one who could
play Novachord they had bought
they were referred to their newest
page boy.
From then on there was no stop
ping Ted. He opened an office and
organized a firm to write, produce
and sell programs for him. He was
asked to be master Of ceremonies on
various night commercials and was
even offered a screen test. But he
doesn't want to go back to Hollywood
until he has his own big night show
Somewhere in this busy schedule
Ted found time to take a second
look at a pretty Montgomery, Ala.
girl whom he met in a radio adver-
tising agency. Now Doris Brooks is
his wife and manager.
She loves to tell how, when they
were engaged, she visualized life with
Ted in some East River penthouse
She pretends it was quite a shock
to find her husband preferred a
farm in Pearl River, N. Y, where
he-back to where he started-is
raising rabbits between shows. There
are 1000 of them-all breeds and
pedigrees and properly registered.
Three times a week Ted, with
loving care, delivers all the rabbits
he can spare to the Government
laboratories at Pearl River, where
they are used for tipping blood.
The rabbits have so taken Ted's
fancy that he's threatening to leave
radio and spend all his time on them
But Doris, who knows her young
husband is bundle of contradic-
tions, is waiting for this new idea
to blow over.
Ted says frankly that he thinks
he is of average talent and lust
lucky. He loves to work, hates to
rehearse; disllkes conservative busi-
ness suits, but wears them. He saws
he is a fussy eater, but eats anything
Dislikes crowds, but is most at ease

NEW YORK.
When Becky Thatcher fell in love
with another fellow, Tom Sawyer
decided that he'd show her; he'd be-
come the best back fence walker in
Missouri. When Ted Steele, at 13,
found the light Of his life was in
fatuated with the school band leader,
Ted decided he'd show her; he would
be the star pianist in the same band.
The band didn't need a pianist.
But a trumpet player was needed,
so Ted became trumpet player.
But he never got the girl, and
this early Illustration is probably the
reason that, no matter how many
radio assignments he gets into, Ted
Steele always must have a band
bearing his name in some hotel or
night club.
This tall, solidly built young man
came into the radio limelight a
little over two years ago when he, in
IL months, progressed from a Is
dollar-a week page boy at NBC to
his present status-$1, 900 a week.
The headlines then ran: "Ex-page
boy gets $1,000 a week." But that
was a little misleading. Just before
becoming page boy Ted had been
assistant program director Of an
NBC station in Hollywood at $75 q
week. However, he was so anxious
to return to New York that he Told
the officials back East he would take
anything. They took him at his
work and not until he reported for

HOLLYWOOD


Gangster movie addicts are hereby
advised to make no other dates
when Roger Touhy, Last of the
Gangsters" plays their favorite the
ater. Hollywood seers say this one
will be the last of the underworld
movies-at least for a long, long
time.
Based on the notorious headline
story which came to sensational
climax in Chicago when Federal
agents bore down on the Touhy
gang and rounded them up in an
apartment house, the film is now
nearing conclusion at the goth Gen.
tury-FoX studio. And if you're
strong for Observation-Disclosures NOV
les, this one looks like honey.
We visit the set for typical
brawl scene. It's an untidy little
apartment decorated chiefly by an
empty pint bottle that once con-
tanned cheap whisky and the
sprawled form of Horace Mac
Mahon, playing Make Sharkey, one
Of the gang. It's the Touhy crowds
hideout after their daring escape
from Stateville Prison, III.
The front door is suddenly flung
q open and in marches Preston Fos-
ter, playing Touhy. Fosters hair
has been dyed blond for the oc-
casion, but this is about the only
resemblance you'll be able to note
between him and the real gangster.
Touhy was a weazened little chap
and at one time according to Fos-
ter weighed only 98 pounds. Foster,
of course, is we'll over six feet and is
put up accordingly.
Hi, there muzzler," sings out
Make, where you been?"
Touhy's eyes flicker around the
room, settle on the whisky bottle
and then shift to Make.
The Toe Hurt More.
"You stinking lush," he barks,
what did I tell you about drink
ing?"
Touhy doesn't wait for an an

Perennially, it is a season Of re-

cording to Crossley) talent will be

editors the season simply implies
the necessary evil Of wearing pen
ciis to a nub, straining eyes into a
condition of acute myopia and pro-

listeners whose first impulse is to
dive irately for their telephones.
