Liquor Dealers Expected
To Testify Against New Tax

Washington liquor dealers are ex-
pected to appear before the House
District Committee next month
when public hearings are held on
the proposal to tax their gross sales
to operate a proposed alcoholic
clinic.
The new liquor tax has been ap-
proved by q special committee set
UP by the District Committee and
headed by Representative Hebert,
Democrat, Of Louisiana. The meas
ure which they approved puts 9 tax
or not less than per cent nor more
than per cent on the gross sales
of liquor sold in the District.
Milton s. Kronheim, Washington
wholesale liquor dealer who usually
speaks for the industry, said today
'it was an ill-advised tax" He said
that while speaking as an individual,
he felt he was voicing the sentiment
Of the dealers In opposing any spe-
/ cial tax that would set aside funds
for community project.
"It is just as logical to place .
tax on automobile dealers to set up
| q fund to recompense persons who
were damaged or injured on account
of q traffic violation, because they
sold the automobile that was the
cause Of the damage" he said.

s.lrance with which an experienced
tense concentration and years of
hard work, according to Igor Gorin,
noted baritone who will sing at Con-
stitution Hall tomorrow.
Mr.. Gorin, who will be soloist with
the National Symphony sOrchestra

the Raleigh Hotel.
A singer must make contact with
his audience as soon as he walks on

planned. "It's just like an electric
wire, and when you turn the switch,
the light has to go on Immediately" /"
"You have nothing to help you"
he said. "You must rely on your vocal
equipment, mental concentration
and technique to carry you through.
And you build this up by years OF
hard work"
Singing before an audience, in
opera, concert or in church is the
only firm foundation for radio work,
he contends. "This little micro
phone" he pointed out, sis a very
sensitive fellow. He picks up your
good points, but he ALSO picks up
your bad points and amplifies them.
