THE MOVIE TAX

When the present scale of Federal tax i'm posed on movie admissions during wartime there was little outcry; it was accepted another of those things that familiar phase of paying for war As of now however the movie industry has legitimate grounds for complaint over the indefinite retention of the tax.
 Although the is over the bulk of its cost remains to be paid That much is granted. But is it fair to make this foremost medium of popular enter tainment continue to bear a really hurtful share of Federal taxation?
 The question may head into the field of whether movies are a luxury or a necessity. We think the sheer numbers of people who attend movies tell the story; they attest that moviegoing is integral part of our national scheme of relaxation-and in America, thank goodness little recreation is not rated as a luxury! Regular movie attendance is much part of the weekly life of many families eating and sleeping. And as matter of fact those people with the least opportunity for other forms of recreation are those hardest by the present high Federal tax on movie admissions Particularly is this true of the large family
 The present tax rate is particularly irksome to both motion picture producers and house operators, because many people fail to understand why it costs more to attend than it used to. They assume, erroneousy that the industry is making bigger profit on them.
 As matter of fact the Federal tax entering into the present relatively high cost of movie ad- missions is proving ruinous burden upon the in- dustry Undoubtedly of the reasons why tele- vision audiences have grown at the expense of movie audience is because the latter taxed at wartime taxes and the others pay nothing directly either in the form of admissions taxes

It was a curious sight, these Am erican and Japanese legislators talk ing a belated look at each other The Japanese had come to watch Democracy at work and were keen eyed with interest. They rattled off questions, and scrubbed the answers in notebooks.
 One Senator on the American side of the table was a former missionary of Japan-high-mino- ed Ebert Thomas of Utah. An other had been a Marine wounded in battle against the Japanese scholarly Paul Douglas of Illinois This battle scene was solemnly recalled by Senator. Douglas. Ht told how the Japanese fought 8 last-ditch stand though outnum- oered two to one by the Americans
 "The Japanese fought bravely and valiantly," Declared Douglas Then, looking squarely at the Jap anese legislators across the table he added: T am now looking for ward to the Japanese fighting just as hard for democracy as they fought against it."
 Throughout the visit, the Jap- anese asked most of the questions chiefly on the technical processes of democracy. But the Americans wanted to know, in return, how the Japanese public feels about Am erica.
 Perhaps I am in the best po- sition to answer that" replied Tax izo Matsumoto, slowly. You see I represent Hiroshima.
 T was educated in the United States. I have many American friends and American ties" he con- tinued. This is well known by the people of Hiroshima. Yet they have always elected me by over whelming majorities.

In his testimony earlier in inquiry Captain Brown appeared to be shifting the blame his subordinates some of whom he said he felt had let him down when he needed their assistance most.
 There undoubtedly is truth in what he stated ln the first instance It is always someone's faultgen- erallv not the Captainswhen ship into trouble No matter whose fault it happens to be- however the Captain must assume the blame, for the responsibility of the safety of the ship is his.

"Ganster of the Pressv

"As American newspapers have frequently disclosed, Pearson has powerful friends in the U. s. Sen ate including Senators O'Mahoney, Bridges and other arch-reactionar- ies. In the House of Representativ- es, he enjoys the favor of the Speaker, Sam Rayburn, and the Republican Leader. Joe Martin Pearson also has ties with the FBl (the American Gestapo). :.
 Pearson frequently comes out with provocative announcements. In the general howl of the warmongers his voice also is heard, the husky voice of the mOngrel true to hls master. Pearson is an unwaverlng adherent of the maniacal plans fol the establishment of world donllna- ton by American monopoly. He has cynically declared that the U. 5 has enough atom bombs to throw few on every one of the countries that are members of the LIN.
 Some time ago the international Organization of Journalists, at the proposal of the Polish Delegate adopted resolution condemnine malicious instigators and propa- gandists for war. It called upon the National Association of Journal ists to expel from their ranks per sons blackening themselves witt war propaganda, race and national hatreds, transformation and sland- CT.
