Fla. when the husband made a
wrong turn after crossing the

vitality and drive.
Mr.. Smith handled its. diff

rity. He could have brought more
bravura to the playing Of the

but having a natural bent toward
romantic music, it seemed ma
tural to him to pass up an OPP
portunity for technical display.
The suite is odd harmonically
and well made. It's "Siciliana"
does not resemble patterns set
forth by old masters. except,
perhaps, in the type of its orna-
mentation.
It was rather unusual that Mr..
Smith chose to close his program
with Mozart's Sonata in B flat.

chord and dainty IN character. it
is not exactly a number to con-
clude a recital. Could one have
judged Mr.. Brooks an exponent
of Mozart. it might have been
different. But he is not. Although
his technical equipment and his
runs are well-nigh flawless, the
latter do not have the crispnesS
and clarity. nor the brilliance
associated with Mozart's style.
Mr.. Brooks greatest asset is the
velvet of his touch and. his un-
derstanding of how to extract
a singing quality from the piano:
Schubert's 'Impromptu in G
Flat Major. op. co." gave him
the greatest opportunity to dis
play this side of his talent. Here
his use of the soft pedal. to
which he had recourse a great
deal throughout the evening. was
well apropos. The composers
allegro in c Major. op. post
humous" and "1mpromptu in B
Flat Major, op. 142" seemed very
shallow salon pieces without
point and character, by COM
parison. Beethoven's Sonata in
"A Flat Major. op. no." techni-
cally well done. was wanting in
the more positive and sterner
expressions of the masters style.
Here the pianist spun out, at
times the softest thread of tonal
control in the spirit of reverie.
His execution earned him loud
approval from the audience.

Senator Monroney. Democrat,
of Oklahoma. who was chairman
of a Senate subcommittee which
criticized the 1850 Maryland
senatorial campaign as "despic-
able" mentioned Mr.. Lee as be-

Told of Getting Check.
Mr.. Lee testified before the
Senate Elections subcommittee

headed it. that he received a
$4,000 check from Alvin M.
Bentley, now Republican Con-
gresham from Michigan. in a
casual meeting with Mr.. Bentley
in Senator McCarthy's office.
Mr.. Lee said the check was made
out to the campaign organiza-
ton of John Marshall Butler.

ator Mccarthy was active in the
Butler campaign.
Mr.. Lee said he gave the check
to the Butler campaign manager
who indorsed it over to Mr.. Lees
wife. Mr.. Lee said most of the
money was used in postcard
campaign in Buffers behalf.
Lee Sees No lrreguIarity.
The subcommittee said in it's
report that the $4,000 was not
reported until after it began pub
lie hearings and was never re-
ported to the proper Maryland
authorities.
Mr.. Lee told a newsman yes
terday he saw nothing irregular
about his acceptance of the
Bentley check, and added: "I
had no responsibility for report
ing it,"
He said he knew Senator Nc
Carthy quite we'll" and had dis
cussed the postcard project with
him.
Attorney General Brownell an

small personal articles, no unemploy-

Templeton Jones was bit too soon
in felicitating himself over the happy
and quick outcome of his wasp stingS.
He didn't know waspS.
This summers crop, according to To-
cal physicians, are unusually virulent.
Their venom, always akin to that of
rattlesnakes, is particularly severe in
reaction.
Jones found this out the day after
the big black wasp stung him twice on
the third finger, left hand.
After Templeton put tannic acid
mixture on his finger. the throbbing
and itching quit.
Quit, that is, for the time being.
Jones went around Dragging over
what doctor he was.
Here again, he was mistaken.
Kitchen remedies, sometimes, work;
most of the time, they do not.
1t was after he had gone downtown
the next day that the pain and itching
started up anew.

Our Commissioners Under Pressure

There is some merit in the proposal that
the District Budget Officer report directly to
the Board of Commissioners, instead of indi-
rectly through the director of the new Depart
ment of General Administration.
There is no merit whatsoever in the
methods used by few members of the Appro-
priationS Committees in Congress to force this
change on the Commissioners. They attempted
it first by writing legislation into the District
appropriation bill. That was knocked out by
the Senate, after objection by Senator Morse.
The second attempt was to insert in the confer
ence report on that bill the sentence: 1T is
the opinion of the conferees of both houses
that the budget officers report directly to the
Commissioners"
The dilemma in which the Commissioners
find themselves is this: study might convince
them that the Budget O1acer, who must pass
on all the budgets prepared by District depart
ment heads including the budget of the De-
partment of General Administration, should be
subordinate to no department head and should
submit his findings directly to the Board of
Commissioners. But to make such a change
under actual or implied compulsion from few
members of Congress, more concerned with
personalities than with principles could do
great injury to the whole principle of reorgan-
ization It would amount to tacit invitation
to every other department head to run up to
Congress and enlist the support of some friend
in forcing the Commissioners to make addi-
tional changes
If the Commissioners yield now to the
pressure from two Senators, their yielding will

Discriminatory Tax Bill

With surprisingly little commotion, Con-
gress has dropped on President EisenhowerS
desk an embarrassing piece of legislation
exempting motion picture theaters from the 20
per cent admission tax.
The embarrassment arises out of the famil-
lar question of whether precedence should be
given to granting relief from burdensome tax
to a distressed industry, or to the broader
concern of the desperate revenue needs OF the
Federal Government.
The movie industry has become distressed
mostly by competition from television. Its
spokesmen report that 5000 theaters were
closed between 1946 and 1852 and that another
SOCIAL operating at a loss currently-will
close this year unless tax relief is granted. 1t
has persuaded Congress to grant this relief by
voting a complete removal of admission tax
liability for the movie theaters only-although
other entertainment industries are subject to
these same levies and are in competition with
television. Furthermore, the movie industry
does not propose to encourage increased pa
tronage by reducing admission charges 1ndl-
vdual theaters may decide to do so. But In
many cases, depending on competitive or other
business considerations, the 20 per cent tax
will be retained by the. theater, instead of
going to the Treasury.
In his successful fight for extension of the
~
mitted himself without qualification to policy
of greater current concern for maintaining the
Federal income than for correcting tax inequi-
ties. Congress supported him Overwhelmingly.
In his tax and budget message of May 49, the
President said that reductions in excise taxes
should be deferred pending "the development
of a sounder system of excise taxes" for which
he plans to make specific recommendations in
January. He referred, also, to studies already
under way for a complete overhauling Of the
tax structure, procedure preferable to the
sort of piecemeal corrective tinkering that was
rejected on the excess profits tax but is being
attempted again in the special relief voted to
the movie industry. There are other industries
that are hit hard by excise particularly
the fur and luggage trade-but this particular
legislation was carefully protected from any
amendments which would have broadened its
application.
The Treasury Department Is opposed to
the legislation now before the President on two
grounds, namely: That it would involve loss OF
approximately $10O million in revenue (the
industry claims there would be net gain
through increased industry income tax pay
ments) and that it is discriminatory in giving
relief to only single economic group.
In balance, it is difficult to see how the
President can accept this tax relief bill without
contradicting both the Treasury Departments
revenue estimates and his own past expressions
of current tax policy.

Country Before Purty

"a real Democrat stands back Of his
party and no other" writes Annie L.
Smith in this space.
Can any citizen boastfully claim to
have voted the same party ticket
throughout his voting years without
admitting that he is partisan first, an
American second?
The party which at all times unfail-
ingly chooses the candidate best suited
to lead the country can demand abso-
lutte loyalty from its party members;
but up to the present hour neither party
has achieved that distinction.
Because the President was elected on
the Republican ticket, many Democrats
resent any support given by their legis-
lators to measures that are good for
the country and for the world. Had
he been elected on the Democratic
ticket, as the Democrats at one time
so greatly desired, Miss Smith and the
other objectors likely would have been
his strong supporters.
President Eisenhower is a man too
