WASHINGTON, July 12—The second act of a curious, dreamlike performance is’ being unreeled today in the senate. Makes the customers feel like they've dropped in on the middle of a movie they've

already seen. The lawmakers are getting ready to pass a tax cut bill again, so President Truman can veto it again, so they can try to over-ride him again, 50 . “But you get the dew: “ige oratory is spinning hke an aerial saucer. 50 gre heads fh the press gallery. Because how can a ri bib get excited writing about a speech when he's y written about it? A couple of months ago. So all right. . The pages in the knee-breeches carefully placed on each senatorial desk a gopy of House Bill No. 3950. This figure indicated that the representatives had introduced 3949 laws on all subjects since they'd first taken up the celebrated HR1 which already would have chopped taxes 20 per cent if President Truman hadn't squelched it.

Exact Duplicate of Bill No. 1

BILL NO 3950. was an exact duplicate of No. 1,

except that it didn’t call for lower taxes until next

year. It even included 16 pages of ,tax-collector gobbledegook ending with the following magnificent sentence: “In the case of a taxable year of an individual be ginning in 1947 and ending in 1948 the tax imposed by sections 11, 12, and 400 shall be an amount equal to the sum of that portion of a tentative tax computed as if the law applicable to taxable years beginning on Jan. 1, 1947 were applicable to such taxable year prior to January 1, 1948, bears to the total number of days in such taxable year (gentle reader, you ain't heard nothing yet) plus that portion of a tentative tax com-

HOLLYWOOD, July 12.—I have a beef today with a certain element in Hollywood that we could do without, Recently I read an item in a Hollywood \rndepaper about a singer in movietown who wasn’t doing so well. “She was not getting anywhere in pictures or radio. Here was the solution offered by her agents: They said she should divorce her husband, making sensatiorml charges: against him. They: figured that this would get attention from the press, that she would Teele lots of publicity and thereby help her career. oo First, T am = Happ % to report. that this represents only one. element in Hollywood. . But that one element. should be done away, with and fast. Now comes 8 guestion of where fo put the blame for a thing like this. It could be a fault of the star involved and so part of the blame rests there. 1 would also blame the agent and the newspapers which print the stories and ‘you, the public (or that portion of the public) which cries. for the sengational and believes it when they get it. Motion picture stars are news, that's true, They are known to so many people throughout the country that what they do is of interest to almost everyone,

Stars Are Normal . BUT I NOTICE that the ones who have the biggest draw af the boxoffice are the ones who live clean, normal lives and depend on their acting ability and * not their publicity in sustaining the public's demand for them. Some film stars will do anything to get publicity.

We, the Women

BRITONS, IT SEEMS, are indignant over Margaret Sanger's advice not to have any more babies in the next 10 years. If you don't have enough food to feed the existing babies, you should stop having any more, is Mrs. Sanger’s argument. But the British reaction to such logic ranged Ion tolerant amusement to high indignation. Most Britdns feel that if they want to continue bringing children into the world and worrying about grin them, that’s their business.

more children, But to the maiden aunt's great disgust, babies kept on arriving. The family got through the depression years somehow. The youngsters managed to get enough to eat and stay in school. And now the parents are happy with a family of which they are proud.

LOGICALLY, the maiden aunt was right. But
