embody the principal ISSUES raised
by all the complaints. Action was
started in the Circuit Court of
Montgomery County after adverse
rulings by the State Tax Commits
sion.
In urging Supreme Court review
the petitioners say:
The tax here involved was not a
non discriminatory tax laid on all
the income OF all members of the
community, as was upheld in Hell
vering vs.. Gerhardt. nor 'non-dis-
criminatory general tax upon en-
ployes OF the Government held con-
stitutional in the OKeefe case. In
those cases the tax was imposed on
the income of all the members of
the community. including the pub
lie officers of the particular taxing
authorities. 1t Is rather that
character of tax to which Mr.. JUS
tice Frankfurter adyerted in his
separate concurring opionion in the
OKeefe case when he observed that

must avoid exactions which dis
eliminate against each other"

In addition, these contentious are
advanced:
Mr.. Wood argues the tax is invalid
because it applies to income earned

the State. He lived in the District

Having brushed through about
half dozen film comedies in as
many months in company with otlDr
comics or pretty girl co-stars, Red
Shelton in 'Whistling in Dixie"
finally has the camera practically
to himself. Not only is he the star,
there is no one visible in the sup
porting cast who even suggests that
exalted station. Therefore Mr..
Shelton has occasion to open the
nozzle wide, spraying Skeltonian
gags, cracks, stunts and muggery
until movie-goers become either
breathless from laughter or breath
less in the sense of suffocation, ac-
cording to their individual tempera-
ment.
In town at the Capitol Theater
for the New Year week, "Whistling
in Dixie" proceeds entirely without
benefit of reason. Mr.. Shelton loses
himself in madness, and the as
sorted collection of movie straight
men and girls support the fellow
with sympathetic abandon. Paced
like whirlWind, it is that kind of
a picture which tends to obscure
the identities of players and situa-
tions alike, nothing being important
except the nature of the slapstick
which will rapidly follow. Thus
Ann Rutherford, Guy Kibbee,
George Bancroft, Rags Ragland
and others pass almost unrecogniz-
able. And in the same manner
many of the good lines become
smothered in the swift succession
of mediocre or childish ones, of
which Mr.. Shelton is just as capable.
Before "Whistling in Dixie" gets
settled on its glorified Mack Sem
nett course there is a search for
hidden gold to start things off. 1t
Is only few minutes, however. be-
fore this stock convenience becomes
of small import, and whatever sus-
pense there might have been is
tossed merrily out the window to
make room for SHELTON sliding down
banisters, tripping up,@1alling down,
getting socked by various people
and things, and every one else get
ting shaken up in similar fashion.
Where all this madness ends makes
no difference. 1t could have been
cut off at any point after the first

Washingtonians will be provided
an opportunity of attending the
local premiere of "Ice-Capades of
1943" at Uline Arena on Tuesday
night, January 10, and simultane-
ously of contributing to the war
effort when Radio Station WRC
and The Variety Club of Washing

War bond campaign Monday morn
ing.
War bonds ranging In denomina-
tions from $25, $50, $100 to $4,000
will be placed in the WRC Bond

avenue NV, and also in booths of

Theaters which will entitle pur-
chasers to three tickets for the

ganza.

may make application for tickets at
these booths. and their tickets will
be mailed them promptly.
Several thousand seats are being
made available for the local pre-
miere Of "Ice-Capades," and the
choicer seats naturally will revert to
the purchasers of the higher priced
War bonds.
War Bond Drives of five other
cities have realized more than $2,-
100000 from similar performances
of "Ice-Capades," and Variety Club

Washington will probably surpass,
New York's high water mark of

opens a limited engagement at Uline

offers production Of % acts fea-

corps of "Ice Cadets" will provide
a picturesque background for the
production.
