What About Taxes?

Excise taxes commonly are tnOugnt OF as
highly technical and mysterious to the
lavmanp SAYS Congressman George q.
Dondero but this is not true In theory at least
they are the simplest of all taxes. A sales tax is
an excise tax: so is an import or export duty and
the luxury tax now imposed on may kinds of COM
named because they excise big hunk out of the
average citizens bank account
admittedly excise taxes are a good thing in
wartime, when vast sums are needed, in addition
to normal tax income to defray the excessive costs
of national defense. But in peacetime excise taxes
are nothing but halter on the nations economy,
slowing down the processes OF production and
trade, choking off consumption Of goods. making
everyone unhappy except the bureaucrats who
have the excise tax money to spend Excise taxes
hurt most of all.
During the greatest war OF all time while
Uncle Sam was spending hundreds Of millions of
dollars day to defeat enemies around the world,
excise taxes attained unprecedented heights Right
ly So because otherwise his present public debt
would have scared far above the present $3.50 0OO-
000
Tremendous exise taxes can and should be
repealed, even in the face Of receding business
tide, because TO repeal them is to take the halter
off the neck of both production and consumption of
goods Increased economic activity means higher
taxable national income Uncle Sam would have
collected more tax money this year without excise
taxes, except for those import duties necessary to
protect American industry and the iobst OF Anoeri
can workman.

Brailowsky Gives New, Fresh
Touch to Familiar Works

This immensely difficult work was
played with irridescent coloring and
poetic imagination. At times in the
stress of passionate statement, MIR.
Brailowsky exceeds the necessary in
tonal volume but compensates for
it by his like command of delicacy.
Always present was the introspective
mood carefully lending itself to the
feeling of the moment, In consid-
cred yet impassioned manner. The
romantic spirit was uppernrost and
the lyric portions were sung with
tenderness, with a more notable
breadth and importance given the
concluding section. Virtuosity in
delivery was tempered by a wealth
of shadings and with emotionally
inspired intent.
1t was, however, the Chopin group
consisting of the "Ballade in G Mi
Evening star., 1949-01-18
By Alice Eversmon

Alexander Brailowsky had the
audience shouting with enthusiasm
last night after his playing of a
Chopin group. Appearing in Con-
stitution Hall on the Patrick Hayes
series, the artist found Well-f1lled
hall to greet him. The numbers he
programmed have been heard time
and again, played by himself and
other pianists, yet the total impress
sion left at the end Of the long
recital was that something new and
fresh had been poured into the
familiar works. Whatever minor
objections, one might have bowed
before the convincing and il1umined
presentation.
Not the least interesting facet of
the recital was that Mr.. Brailowsky
revealed himself in a new light. He
is not a static artist. Nor does he
need the adventure offered by mod
ern music to stimulate him. He takes
the staid repertoire, already we'll
set in his fingers, and subjects 1t
to fresh analysis, penetrating fur
ther its technical and interpretive
possibilities. And the marvel of it
is that he can enthrall himself with
the familiar, become enraptured Of
his discoveries and the test of pro-
jecting them.
1t was this latter element that
worked so powerfully with the audi
ence last night. The pianist has
gained in ability to externalize his
Ideas and to detach them from the
minutiae that absorbed them to
greater extent formerly. He has
an emotional plan in mind, not
simply a musical one, and employs
his superb technique so that all
the long years of labor are not
visible but only what he is able to
create. Mr.. Brailowsky's recital last
night surpassed former ones in the
amount of poetic ideas he could
pass on to the listener.
To such an extent was this so,
that 1t was difficult to select one
number as superior to another. His
piece de resistance was the Schu-
mann Fantasy in c Major, Op. IT,"
Evening star., 1949-01-18

nor" "Nocturne in r Sharp Major
waltz In e Flat Major" and Polo
naise in A Flat Major" that re-
ceived the most exciting response.
Mr.. Brailowsky's fame as a Chopin
player is well known from frequent
recitals exclusively of this COM
poser's writings, yet such long and
close familiarity has not dimmed
his personal ardor or caused him
to sink to a routined performance
There was delicacy of texture, grace
and lightness, as also profundity
and splendor of line in his playing
last night. He was in an ideal mood
for just such numbers, fashioning
each with loving care and a brilliant
display of technical resources.
The program started with the Vi
valdi Concerto in D Minor" and q
delightful reading of the Scarlatti
Evening star., 1949-01-18

"Pastorale and Capriccio." It ended
with a mastery exposition Of Ravel's
"Ondine" and a sparkling delivery
of the "Toccata." The purely me-
chanical exigencies of these works
were as nothing in the ease and
fiuency of Mr.. Brailowsky's presen-
tation. Final items listed Liszt's
Fountains of the Villa d'Este" and
the "Mephisto Waltz" The un-
abating enthusiasm Of the audience
caused this already lengthy program
to be extended with encoreS.
