Found in Public Service
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

MADISON, Wis. Jan. 5.-Gen.
Macarthur definitely has indi-
Gated that he would be receptive
to the Republican nomination as
President of the United States,
a prominent. supporter said to-
day.
Fred R. zinerman, Winconsin
secretary Of State, said a message
from the general expressed the be-
lief that there can be no greater
satisfaction than such as comes
from the condolences reflected in the
selection by ones neighbors for
public service-no more challenging
responsibility than lies in the full
filment of their trust"
Positive of Generals Position.
II am sure" Mr.. Zimmerman said
"the general meant ne would per-
form any public service he was
called on by the people to render
whether it be as President or In the
Army. We who are supporting the
general are positive that the general
means that he regards any public
service responsibility he would
have to fulfill"
Gen. Macarthur, who maintains
his voting residence in Wisconsin,
made his statement in message OF
congratulations on the opening of
the States centennial celebration.
LAS I reflect upon the events in
this century Of effort and progress, -
he stated, II am proud, indeed, that
my own life is deeply rooted in Wis
consin's past, for I have trod those
same Wisconsin paths which my
father and my grandfather once
trod, and take great pride in the
knowledge that my opportunity for
service to country found its origin
in Wisconsin's selection and ap-
pointment, as did my fathers and
grandfather's before me. ,..
Delegate Slate Planned.
For in the labyrinth of destiny's S
pattern, there can be- no greater
satisfaction than such as comes
from the confidence reflected in the
selection by ones neighbors for pub
lie service-no more challenging re-
sponsibilty than lies in the fulfill
ment of their trust"
Mr.. Zimmerman and former Gov.
Philip F. La Toilette, who served as
a colonel on Gen. MacArthurs staff
during the war, were included at a
meeting yesterday which decided to

Schunlan Wins
Two More Tests
On His Tax Bill
Assembly Rejects
Changes by 80 and
36 Vote Margins :,
BY the Asseeioisd Press

PARIS, Jan. 5.-The French
National Assembly gave Premier
Robert Schuman votes of conf
dence today by defeating two
Communist -Peasant-De Gaullist
amendments to the governments
anti-inflation bill.
The Assembly voted down efforts
to exclude 100000 farmers from
the tax bin and to exempt small
artisans from the choice of paying
special income tax or investing
the same amount in government
bonds. The votes were 306-273 and
308-272, respectively.
Mr.. Schuman has threatened to
resign If any changes are made in
the program in its passage through
the Assembly and this gave the
weight of vote of confidence to
the balloting on each Individual
amendment.
Other Amendments Pending.
Other amendments still to be voted
on would reduce tax levies on war,
drought and flood victims and on
small family operated businesses.
Assembly circles predicted that
the governments margin might be
close in the voting on tax relief for
war victims, but it was generally
believed that it would win out.
The tax BILL as presented by the
government, Is designed to produce
approximately 125, 900 ,000, 900 francs
tabout $1,000, 100000 in revenue.
Saturday, when Communist and
rightist deputies sought to amend
the measure with proposals for ex-
emptions for those in small income
brackets, they were defeated by 322
to 262.
De Gaulle Approves Union.
A prime topic in parliamentary
circles was Gen. Charles De Gaulle's
speech yesterday IN st. Etienne,
where the wartime French leader
said he could accomplish economic
reform by scrapping the present
trade unions and creating labor
management associations designed
to eliminate the possibility of strikes.
Gen. De Gaulle, whose French Peo-
Piles Party tRPF) won a large fol-
lowing in the last municipal elec-
tions, accused the Schuman cabinet
of replacing true government" by
experiments"
Mr.. Schuman's plan for creating
economic stability Is for drastic tax
.ation to provide funds for recon-
kruction and absorb "inf1ationary
currency" His first job as premier
was to smash a Communist attack
against the government by ending
an epidemic of industrial strikes
that included 22 unions.
Referring indirectly to the Schu-
man tax bill in his st. Etienne ad-
dress, Gen. De Gaulle said that
when economic measures have to
be decided on a regime founded on
parties cannot help but fail"
Gen. De Gaulle and his followers
oppose coalition governments such
as Mr.. Schuman's middle -of-the-
road cabinet of Socialists, Radical
Socialists and Popular Republicans.
I. Would Form Associations"
Outlining a plan for economic re-
form for the first time, Gen De
Gaulle said he favored doing away
with the trade unions entirely and
substituting associations"
These associations, he said, would
fix conditions of labor for groups
OF enterprises and "all who 60 to
make it up-managers, foremen and
workmen acting as equals with
organized arbitration"
Gen. De Gaulle proposed that
when such an association of an in
dustry had been organized "its rep
preventative could and should be
incorporated into the state

Torrance Vivian and Rosetta did
on Tuesday night at Lisner Audi
torium in connection with the
benefit style show for George
Washington University's new hos
pital.
The Duncans had stolen the
afternoon show which they followed
with a half hour of open house for
old friends In the audience.
They were due back for similar
performance at the evening show
at Lisner. Things happened that
should not have happened, as things
are always doing. Through ro fault
of their own, Vivian ind Rosetta
could not reach Llsner in time.
The audience was leaving the fash
ion show just as the Duncans were
arriving.
They met in Lisner's beautiful
lobby. The discussion was whether
everyone should 60 back for Dun
can sisters performance, or just
stay for a few minutes reception.
The reception seemed to be Win
ming, when someone suggested that
Vivian and Rosetta-Still in costume
from their Cairo Light club show
sing a song The Duncans began
to sing. They sang one number and
an encore was called for. 30 they
sang the encore. Someone had the
brilliant idea that it might be cool
er on the steps of the .theater. So
the show and the audience moved
out under the stars looking down on
Twenty first street.
1t was all very quiet, chubby and
wonderful and it lasted for half an
hour. There was no decision as to
whether the audience or the Dun
cans got the more enjoyment out
of it. No fashion show ever ended
more informally or engagingly.
The Duncans are troupers.

department saying Il told you so.
However, Mr.. Wilk is humble and
wisely leaves it to those to whom he
might write such letters to make
their own observations. If. at the
proper time, they choose to remem-
Der that he told them so, that
pleases him.
This story began of hot after
noon some years ago in the Raleigh
Hotel. Over tall lemonade. which
was a genuine lemonade, he was
answering an indignant question
about why movie studios did not
give their better writers the privi-
lege of being producers and, as such
far greater independence.
Well" said Mr.. Wilk. you take
your pet writer-director- producer OF
the moment, Preston Sturges. He
is a remarkable performer as re-
markable as you think he is. He
has turned out three fine pictures
in a row and at speed to which no
studio could possibly object. He is
a writer and producer who really
produces.
But, still sticking to Sturges,
suppose some day he finds him
self so rich in money and so shy
on ideas that he likes that he de-
cides to take long holiday. DO
not say this will happen. but 1t
might happen to any writer who
becomes an independent producer.
Say a large studio mas lot of
such independent writing -produc-
ing men on its payroll and they all
get rich and tired at the same time.
They all take long holidays. Tell
me, then. what happens to studios
which must produce pictures for
thousands of theaters and millions
of customers all year, every year?
Do they just go out OF business un-
til your writer producers decide to
return to work."
Now, for the item in the news Of
today. the one which relates to
Mr.. Wilk's observations on such
men. 1t reads:
preston SturgeS mas JISL signed
q contract with Goth Century-Fox
to write, direct and produce The
Beautiful Blonde From Bashful
Bend. Filming is scheduled to start
late this summer
1t has been long time since the
movie public saw Sturges picture,
which, of course, is just what Mr..
Wilk was saying.
