The MARCH OF TIME REG. U.S. PAP. OFF. BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine FOREST v. TREES— WASHINGTON — Emerging from the White House after a two-hour conference with the President, Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson last week told reporters who asked about the supreme court: "The measure will be proceeded with and it is expected that action will be taken on it during the present session. Aside from the provisions that relate to the supreme court, other features of the bill are to be regarded as of vital importance. It is felt that press conference next morning a during the last few months some changes have occurred which modify the situation, but there still exists, the necessity for the injection of new blood into the court." Thus it was revealed that after four months' stubborn insistence on his original plan to enlarge the court, Franklin Roosevelt was at last willing to compromise. To save face, he devilvered at his press conference next morning a stern lecture on the need for judicial reform, refused to say just what specific amendments to his court bill he would accept—because, he said, he was interested, not in the trees but only in the forest. Unable, now that he had given in so late, to dictate a compromise, Franklin Roosevelt had to put the whole matter into the hands of senator Robinson, trusting him Unable, now that he had given in so late, to dictate a compromise, Franklin Roosevelt had to put the whole matter into the hands of senator Robinson, trusting him to obtain the best terms available from a congress that had tired of angling for a compromise and had decided to let the court bill die without action. Although in April a two-judge compromise might easily have been won; in June, after a long, embittering fight, it was no longer certain of acceptance. But just as an expectant mother commands a certain ethereal prestige above other women, so expectant Justice of the Supreme Court Joe Ribinson has become since Justice Van Devanter's retirement a sort of super-senator with a prestige all his own among his colleagues. With this and his new authority as the president's plenipotentiary, he went forth last week to see how many chessnut-judges he could pull out of the fire-senate. WEEK IN CONGRESS— WASHINGTON — The senate last week passed a bill authorizing the construction of six auxiliary vessels for the navy at an estimated cost of $48,000,000. The house passed (326 to 44) the administration's $1,500,000,000 relief bill; a bill extending air mail routes some 3,000 miles; a bill extending for two years the "hot oil" law (prohibiting interstate shipment of oil produced in excess of state quotas); a bill extending the life of the Public Works administration for two years from June 30, ensuring it $250,000,000 with which to carry out projects already approved (but not new projects). TAXATION & INDIGNATION— WASHINGTON — To congress and the public President Roosevelt last week gave the evidence wien nad caused him to release a bust, at weiny tax-dogers fortnight ago—a 3,000 word letter from secretary Morgentau amounting to a short course in the art of tax-uodging as perfecte- Fort Winfield Scott, once Mighty Master of the Golden Gate, took shadows of the world's greatest bridge. The old Fort, started in $2,000,000; 104 guns bristling from its walls of brick, guarded the Gate of the West, today it is but a Symbol of the Past of the days of RaHigh over the old Fort, men have flung a spider web of steel; single span suspension bridge. Twenty years ago, the Golden Gate had actuality. The main span, 4,200 feet long; the deck at center, 260 feet abomiles, including approach vinducts. Height of towers 740 feet above largest ever spun, required 80,000 miles of wire, weigh 22,000 tons; 128,000,000 pounds of concrete. Excavations, principally of rock, amounted to 553,000 cubic yards from a shaft 10 feet square and 25 miles deep. The structure cost $1 to build. To these eight tax-dodging methods, which he classed as "moral fraud", Morgenthau added three others "which the law itself permits"—Claims for depletion by oil and mining companies; which are allowed as a deduction from income and prevent the treasury from collecting up to $75,000,000 a year; dividing a husband's income with his wife in tax returns from states which have community property laws, thereby reducing individual sur-taxes; the flat tax of 10% on U.S. income of nonresident aliens. Quoting Justice Holmes' famed assertion that 'Taxes are what we pay for civilized society', the President said: "Too many individuals ... want the civilization at a discount ... A feeling of indignation on reading this letter will I am confident, be yours, as it was mine ... The issue immediately before us is the single one relating to the evasion or unethical avoidance of existing ... the example of successive dodging by a minority of rich individuals breeds efforlous people to dodge others ... I am confident that thegress will wish to enact legislation at this session specifically andclusively aimed at making present tax structure ever-proof. In the senate, Mississippi Harrison promptly proposes resolution to create a joint mittee (six senators, six com-men)-to investigate tax-deand, if necessary, authorize treasury employee to conduct part of the investigation, hearings, subpoena witness records. Although passed senate, the resolution had rewritten for the house so treasury officials could not public hearings, so that they and responsibility of rel-headline scandal when the mittee convenes next Fell would remain in congress hands. DEATH OF MOLA— MADRID, Spain — Dethrough thick patches of fog- TAXATION & INDIGNATION— WASHINGTON — To congress and the public President Hoosevelt last week gave the evidence which had caused him to release a blast, at wealthy tax-dogers fortnight ago—a 3,000 word letter from Secretary Morgentnau amounting to a short course in the art of tax-dodging as practiced by high-priced lawyers. Lessons:— Setting up personal holding companies in the Bahamas, Panama, Newfoundland and other places from which tax money cannot be extradited; buying one-payment life insurance (from a Bahama company) borrowing back the "payment" and claiming tax deductions for interest paid on the loan; establishing personal holding companies in the U.S., which in spite of special taxes still pays those who are rich enough; incorporating yachts, town houses, country estates, racing stables so that their operating losses can be claimed as deductions from income; borrowing money from personal holding companies to claim the interest as an income deduction; creating trusts for wife, children and relatives to In the heart of DOWN-TOWN San Francisco HOTEL DRAKE-WILTSHIRE STOCKTON STREET • AT UNION SQUARE Convenient to Every Point of Interest 250 newly decorated rooms with bath and shower and many with panoramic view EXCELLENT COFFEE SHOP Rates from $2.00 Single • $3.00 Double GEORGE T. THOMPSON Managing Director ANAHEIM GAZETTE once told him he would die with his boots on, General Mola always took his shoes off in airplanes, was found last week in his stocking feet. One of the first to recognize the leadership of General Francisco civil war, General Mola had commanded practically the entire northern sector of rightist activity was at the time of his death responsible not only for the seige of Bilboa but also for the seige of Madrid. With no capable successor at hand, Generalissima France split Mola's command, gave the Bilboa front to General Jose Fidel Davila; the Madrid, Aragon and Soria fronts to bleary-eyed old General Andres Saliquet. At Burgos, Generalissimo Franco led the funeral march through the streets while rightist sympathizers scattered rose petals from the balconies and a muted brass band played "Sueno Eterno" (Eternal Sleep). Meanwhile, as Basque officials in leftist Bilbao snapped: "May God have mercy on his soul," their forces took advantage of Mola's death, counterattacked viciously around Bilbao, regained much precious ground with heavy losses to the rebels. Back in Gilbrealtar after a hurried trip to impoverished Italy, colorful Spanish Capitallist Juan March, onetime tobacco smuggler and chief civilian backer of General Franco's armies, last week loudly reasured nervous rightist supporters with the statement that he had authorized General Franco to spend $1,500,000,000 ""subseribed abroad""—by whom Jaun March would not say.

In its day, one of the Wonders the Past: of the days of Sailing Shima and Pioneers, building a spider web of steel; the world's largest and most magnificent marage, the Golden Gate Bridge was a visionary's dream—today, an arch at center, 266 feet above high water; length of entire project 3% out of towers, 746 feet above water level. The two 36½ inch cables, of wire, weigh 22,000 tons, are held at their anchorage ends by mounted to 553,000 cubic yards, equal to volume of material removed deep. The structure cost $35,000,000, required approximately 4 years. Life in a Repirator— PEIPING, China — Stricken with infantile paralysis while flying from Shanghai to Peiping early last year, Frederick B. Snite, Jr., son of a wealthy Chicago small-loan financier, could not move a muscle to breathe, would have suffocated had Peiping's Union Medical college hospital not had one of the few artificial respirators in the Orient—a casket-like steel box 74 in. long, 65 in. high, 44 in. wide. Thurst into this machine, Fred Snite had to learn an utterly new mode of life—and he learned so well that last week, still in his respirator, he could begin a 9,000-mil journey by truck, train and ship from Peiping to Chicago. Fred Snite's head projects, face up, through a rubber ruff at the front end of his respirator; inside, on a sheeted mattress, lies his flaccid, wasted body covered with a night dress. Fifteen times every minute a suction pump creates a slight vacuum within the respirator, thus lifts Fred Snite's chest and pulls one pint of fresh aid into his lungs. When the pump releases the vacuum, his chest falls and he exhales. Every time the machine inhales for him, the rubbish avoidance of existing laws, the example of successful tax-giving by a minority of very individuals breeds efforts by people to dodge other laws. I am confident that the con-sists will wish to enact legislation sessions specifically and extensively aimed at making the current tax structure evasion-fund. In the senate, Mississippi's Patricson promptly proposed a solution to create a joint committee (six senators, six congressional) to investigate tax-dodging if necessary, authorize any security employee to conduct any of the investigation, holdings, subpoena witnesses and records. Although passed by the date, the resolution had to be written for the house so that security officials could not hold hearings, so that the right-responsibility of releasing line scandal when the committee convenes next February would remain in congressional form.

To reduce the danger of germs getting into his lungs, his two Chinese nurses wear gauze over their mouths and noses when they brush his teeth, shave him, wipe his nose, or deal otherwise with his head. In the sides of the respirator are port holes through which they can give him the enemas he constantly requires because his abdominal muscles do not function. Rigged over his unturned face, Fred Snite has adjustable mirrors enabling him to read, play games, see his meals. With arrangement completed for supplies of electricity to operate the respirator's pump, Fred Snite, Sr. last week ordered his paralyzed son moved home to Chicago from Peiping. With the respirator, Fred Snite had to recover his breath before he could be rolled onto a motor truck, where a special gasoline motor was generating electricity. On his special train, which carried him 900 miles from Peiping to Shanghai, he had a baggage coach equipped with a gasoline-driven dynamo and an extra respirator. But he was transferred from a tender to a new respirator on the liner "President Coolidge," Fred Snite's life was jeopardized for three minutes. Once installed in the 12-room suite set aside for his parents and medical retinue, however, Fred Snite sailed for the U.R., hoping for a few more years of life before his unusable muscles and joints become too frail to support his will to live. Transferring Fred Snite to Chicago, according to his father, is costing $50,000 in addition to the $150,000 already spent during the first 14 months of the illness. Said Fred Snite, Sr., before saying: "My most valuable possession is in the steel respirator in that room. I told him that oil my dollars might us well be wooden, if not devoted to saving his life." THIRD— SENTLEW, Washington — Because Seattle householders were plagued and puzzled by a thief who opened their milk bottles early in the morning, some the cream-jelt stirred halfway. Garagusman Kenneth Sheet out to catch the culprit in a camera trap, connected his camera's shutter with the bottle-can by a wire through a mildew-fix tube. Next day he had a fine picture of the thief—a black, fat, impudent blue Jay. Subsequent spy revealed that a theft of less gifted jays inflicted the thief. Indeed him stained the cream after he jimmed the bottle.
