Washington, May a. - (UP) - Republican tax leaders in the House set their sights today for simplify ing the corporate taxation struc- ture and reducing such taxes as soon as the war situation permits.
 Reps. Daniel A. Reed. R., N.

If they could make their own
choice of directors, probably nine of
every ten actresses in Hollywood
would choose Edmund Goulding.
Known as the woman's director.
Goulding has drawn out great emo
tional performances from actresses
previously considered coldly medi-
ocre.
Goulding has some interesting
ideas about women and the types
that can be developed into the best
actresses. For instance, he sees lit
tie hope on the screen for the
woman who exudes charm in every-
day life. Charm and great acting
seldom go together, he declares.
On the other hand, he thinks the
girl who is little quiet and per-
haps on the shy side is the one to
suspect of potential acting ability.
It's something that the theater
and pictures don't quite under
stand" he said, but they have dis
covered it's fact that the girl who
oozes charm and personality in her
daily life isn't apt to have much on
the screen or in front of the cam
era"
Goulding Joined MGM as a writer
and director in 1925 and directed the
first feature in which Joan Craw-
ford appeared. sally, Irene and
Mary" Garbo, Gloria Swanson.
Merle Oberon. Bette Davis and
many other outstanding feminine
stars have been treated to their
finest films via Goulding's direction
Currently, he is at Warmers doing
the remake of "Of Human Bond
age" this time with Eleanor Parker
as Its star. Miss Parker is one of
ms recent discoveries and he thinks
she will repeat Bette Davis tri-
umph when the picture is released.
Miss Parker is the perfect ex-
ample OF the apparently repressed.
Withdrawn personality" Goulding
declared. "She was a guest at a
party recently, sat silently for while
and later was found alone in room,
weeping. In the midst of the gaiety
she had her own thoughts. They
were of her husband, a naval lieu
tenant, whom she had heard was i'll
in the South Pacific.
"It's this introspective sensitive
ness which Is the mark of the artist.
The extrovert, the life of the party,
spends herself constantly; she has
nothing left for the camera"
Goulding was born in England
and for many years after coming to
America was a leading man and
vaudeville headliner. He was known
