express your opinion Of the

Do you think slipover sweaters are
appropriate for this occasion?

Loses Two

By Margaret S. Dickey

The newest game making the
rounds in Washington is called
"Who do you know in Oklahoma
City"
And with Mrs. Perle Mesta out
of town last Wednesday when the
game was invented not many
people were qualified to play.
It all started when friends of
Mimi Griffin, the witty. attractive
daughter of Rear Admiral and
Mrs. r. M. Griffin, learned to their
amazement that on three-days'
notice she was taking off for Okla
honna City.
Wednesday morning Minis
boss. advertising executive Robert
J. Enders, asked her If she wanted
to go to that city and put on a
television show for the company
and head and set up a branch
Office there. The hitch was that
she had to be there and ready for
action Monday.
BY noon Mimi was consulting
with friends and family in a wild
effort to find someone who knew
the city and by 5 o'clock-dead-
line for deciSion-she had agreed
to go.
Thursday and Friday were spent
in saying hurried goodbyes to her
friends and Saturday afternoon
after the speediest and most fran
tic suitcase packing on record
Mimi entrained for the West.
Between times, friends and ac-
quaintanceS who had heard she
would be a stranger in Oklahoma
City, had dug up old address
books and college quarterly direc-
tories and sent her off armed with
at least a few letters of introduc-
ton.
Chances are that there will be
little time in the first few weeks
to meet these. people. however,
as the thrice-weekly show Mimi
is to produce is scheduled to start
in two weeks and she has to begin
from scratch.
Account executive for the show.
which is for a large department
store in the city, will be Mr.. Will
liam F. Fitzgerald. He, too. took
of for the West on three days
notice but he flew, allowing him
an extra day for packing.
The 24-year-old Vassar grad
uate who arrived in Oklahoma
City on time yesterday, is tempor-
arily staying at the Skirvin Hotel,
named for Mrs. Mesta's father
and owned by her, and all entries
in the who do you know" contest
should be addressed to her there
When Mimi will return or
whether is not known. Her
friends here, of course, wish she
were back already. but, on the
other hand, she's wearing the
shoes many of them would most
like to be in at the moment.
Another imminent departure
that will leave Washington a sad
der place is that of Louis Hood
who leaves for Paris Friday for
a two-year stay.
Louis, formerly with Riggs Bank
here, Joined the State Depart
ment's courier service several
months ago and since then has
been shutting between Washing
ton. South America and Mexico.
His newest assignment win take
him all over Europe with a home
base OF Paris which Louis is quick
to admit suits him fine. He should
have no trouble meeting people
in Paris, particularly when a good
first tenor is so hard to find and
Louis is one that's hard to beat. |

barking as soon as anticipated
So Saturday, Mrs. Noyes, with
baby, bottles and basinette, flew
off to join Leila and Bill.
The family is now united in

Corps Camp Pendleton where Bill

field. The baby was born at Hot
Springs where Bill formerly was

Of Commerce.
Lelia's return to Washington
sometime in January is looked for
ward to with pleasure by her many
friends who-on her last f1eeting
visit-did not get a chance to
meet 7-month-old Charles. She
will be staying with her mother
until she can rejoin her husband.
They were married in June, 1949,

Band Makes Fine

A group of tired b u t happy

early Sunday morning from the
Havre music festival which they
participated in very successfully.
Browning was given the high
est rating. The contest numbers
were Largo" from the New
World SYMPHONY" by Dvorak
and "Vistas" by Gillette. After
the contest numbers were played,
the band played Mr.. Servers

band was asked to do a repeat
performance at h e down town
concert at 2::30 in the afternoon.
An outstanding attraction OF
the down town concert was s.
year-old Joey Peterson and his
rope-spinning act. All in all, the
Browning band was quite a sue
cess.

that will have the broadest and
most basic benefits, such as the
three per cent tax on freight
transportation, which enters in
to the cost of all manufactured
goods.
We see little merit in a logroll-
ing kind of tax reduction which
goes all the way down h e line
whiting a few per cent from
each item or category. The ad-
illustrative costs of collecting a
FIVE per cent tax are u s about
as great as for collecting ten per
cent. Why not eliminate entirely
some of the taxes W h c h bear
more heavily on necessities and
save that much administrative
expense?
Fur coats and jewelry are very
nice but they are not essentials.
Why should not television sets
pay the same tax as radio sets,
since they are a product of es-
sentially the same industry? AS
for reducing the tax on cabaret
tickets-we are living in a quasi
war economy :. where we have to
earmark $l4, 500, 10000 year
for defense. Why, then, should it
be supposed that luxury taxes
are out of place. Christian Sci

LUxUTY TAXES ARE NO LUXURY

Graphing with a red.ink bud
get, the House Ways and Means
Committee at last has come upon
one group of excise taxes which
it does not want to cut. This, IN
der the circumstances, is graft
flying.
The take to be retained at
present level are those on alco-
holic beverages, but even that
fact is secondary in this instance
to several very serious considera-
tions affecting the soundness of
the nations finances.
If the United States Govern
ment were not spending more
money h a n it collects-If the
United States were not in debt to
the extent of a quarter of a trill-
ion dollars If the United States
were not engaged in a grim
struggle wit h a relentless foe
over the future of the world
If these and other Ifs" did
not exist, we would be as happy
as anyone to buy handbags, face
creams, shaving lotions, neck
laces, snapshot film, golf clubs,
automobile tires, a refrigerator,
television set, or fur coat without
paying a 10 to 20 per cent tax.
But when the national budget
is unbalanced to t h e extent of
$1,000, 600, 900 a year, when in
terest alone on the public debt is
costing the average American
family more t h a n 500 year,
and when an emergency might
subject the nation to the severest
tests it has yet endured-then it
seems to US just g God common
sense that Congress should find
new revenues for the government
before it throws away any Of
those that exist.
We are aware of the argument
that a reduction in excise taxes
would stimulate business. This
may be true to a limited degree
and in certain lines. But e v n
that argument n e d S to be
weighed in the Zig It of the
question, What kinds Of business,
if assisted, will best serve the in
terests of national strength and
security?
It has already been suggested
in these columns that if excise
taxes must be cut, then the cuts
should proceed in some order Of
priority, beginning with those

STATE FINANCES

State governments in the Unit
ed States have recalled a peak of
spending and are struggling hard
TO keep tax and debt loads from
going higher-in fact, are sue
ceeding in some instances in
turning them back.
The Council of State Govern
ments, surveying budgets of II
states where budgetary sessions
of the Legislature were held this
year, finds their programs down
about $50, 900, 900 in the aggre-
gate from the record high of the
previous fiscal period. It con-
clndes that states desire to stay
within their incomes a n d avoid
deficit spending.
This is very desirable if states
are to avoid adding to a total
debt which, for them, is at record
figures. T h e Tax Foundation.
New York, reports that the gross
debt Of t III e 48 states now is
81, 100, 900, 900, or $3.50 pc r
capita. The prewar peak was
$4,000, 900, 900 in 1910.
A Summary of State Govern
ment Finances in 1919" just is
sued by the Census Bureau shows
that state spending shot up most
sharply between 1947 and 1948,
and continued to rise at a rate of
nearly 10 per cent in 1949. The
states in that year spent $11, 49,
10000 which was $791, 600, 900
more than they collected in rev.
enue.
The demands on state govern.
ments for services such as edu-
cation, highways, welfare, care
of the mentally ill, a nd aid to
local governments still are severe.
State officials should try hard,
however, to prove that at least
one level of American govern
ment can operate in the black.
