M'NUTT PLEDGE TO REDUCE TAX IS FACING TEST Huge Task Ahead as Boards Confront Necessity of Hiking Levies. One definite means of reducing local budgets will be available to county tax adjustment boards when they meet Monday. It is the table of estimates of state distribution to local government units from such state funds as the gross income, intangibles and beer taxes. A heavy task faces the boards. On the one side are demands for tax reduction. On the other are cold figures almost universally meaning tax increases largely due to reduced assessed evaluations and too rigid economy in the last year. The figures more than offset reduced budgets in many cases. Reduction Is Pledged Promising reduced taxes and having attempted to pave the way for them by legislation, the McNutt administration has pledged a $17000,000 distribution of state funds locally during the next two years It has made specific estimates, showing how local officialls can figure their shares of the distribution. For instance, school officials have been told to figure $l2O for each pupil per capita for their shares of the beer tax' and S4OO a year on teachers’ salaries from the gross income tax. Boards Have “Out” Having made his promises. Governor Paul V. McNutt is faced with a test of his administration. He will make every effort to fulfill or better them, he says. On that effort, the adjustment boards have an "out” to cut budgets and rates before them. McNutt has said that they can lop off $10,000,000 from budgets now before them If they use his estimates. He has offered services of state hccounts board field examiners to the boards to figure local shares of the state funds. Nearly a score of county auditors, ex-officio advisers Os the boards, have asked for help Os tne examiners in the last two days McNutt has turned his plea to tise the estimates into a campaign. Chairman Philip Zoercher of the State tax board will deliver the plea In an address Friday night at a meeting of South Bend taxpayers. The Indiana Taxpayers' Association has joined in the drive. Its field men now are conferring with county auditors. By Oct. 1, when the adjustment boards will have completed their work, the McNutt administration will have seen a test of its promises.

Killing Time Movie Stars Find It Is Problem During Workday Waits.

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer Hollywood, sept. i4 —one of the greatest problems in a | screen player s life is to find an interesting wav in which to pass time. This is necessitated by the !

frequent periods of rest between scenes. The players can’t go far from their set, because they never know at what moment they may be needed. On the other hand, just sitting and waiting for the director to call would soon drive them crazy. Spurred by this necessity, many different methods of killing time have been devised by the stars. Garbo usually stretches out on a couch and reads, often munching an ice cream cone while so doing. Marion Davis plays bridge. Jean Harlow reads her fan mail, while a

portable phonograph plays Bing Crosby and Mae West records. Norma Shearer takes care of certain household duties, such as paying bills and making necessary phone calls. Marie Dressier sleeps. Clark Gable usually sits around in his dressing room, clad only in his undenvear, smokes a pipe and listens to the radio. Bob Montgomery dictates letters to his secretary and plays solitaire simultaneously. Wally Beery whittles on sticks of wood. Ramon Navarro plays Mexican folk songs on his small piano. Sally Eilers reads the latest novels. Jack Oakie goes visiting on other sets. Gary Cooper goes out in search of an ice cream soda. And the Marx brothers try to top one another’s gags.
