The MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine IN WASHINGTON— President Roosevelt last week sent a special message to congress asking for a law to end the reciprocal tax immunity of federal, state and municipal salaries and securities. He wrote: "Those who earn their livelihood from government should bear the same tax burden as those who earn their livelihood in private employment." The president reminded congress that unless it acts before March 15, salaries paid by quasi-public bodies like the port of New York authority will, by last last year's decision of the supreme court, be subject to federal income tax retroactively for three years. He urged a simple act (instead of a constitutional amendment) to end all exemptions, but not retroactively, and sent Under-Secretary of the Treasury John Hanes to argue for the change, which might bring the U.S. over $300,000,000 a year in new tax revenue. The president also sent Chairman Manshield of the house rivers and harbors committee a letter urging revival of two pet projects: The projected $200,000,000 Florida ship canal, on which $5,-400,000 of WPA money was spent before work was discontinued in 1936, for the dual object of providing national defense and a commercially important public work for the unemployed lasting perhaps ten or 15 years; the $36,-000,000 Passamaquoddy Bay tidal power project, on which $7,000,000 was spent up to the summer of 1936, to give eastern Maine cheap electricity for Community Chests. In five and one-half years, Hunter administered in the widest the spending of about one-third of all federal relief and work-relief appropriations. On his payrolls were 35 to 40% of all WPA workers. The drought of 1936 and the floods of 1937 were his to handle. Few thought seriously of a rearmament program last year when congress ordered the navy department to report on the need of new naval bases. But early this month, when congress got that report, everyone heard plenty about rearmament. And last week one item on that program raised a major question of policy. Geographic nub of the system of 23 new or expanded bases in the Pacific outlined by the navy is the Island of Guam, a 210-square-mile, mountainous wart on the Pacific that may one day be a spot as important as Gibraltar. After the war Japan was given a mandate over the once German Caroline Islands. The Caroline Islands lie across the U.S. route to the Philippines, and Guam lies across the Japanese route to the Carolines. In 1922 the Washington naval treaty bound both countries to construct no new fortifications in the Pacific, but four years ago Japan renounced that treaty. Unless reports are false Japan is already fortifying the Carolines. A strong U.S. base at Guam as proposed by the navy department would place a standing force of U.S. planes, submarines and per- urging revival of two pet projects: The projected $200,000,000 Florida ship canal, on which $5,-400,000 of WPA money was spent before work was discontinued in 1936, for the dual object of providing national defense and a commercially important public work for the unemployed lasting perhaps ten or 15 years; the $36,-000,000 Passamaquoddy Bay tidal power project, on which $7,000,000 was spent up to the summer of 1936, to give eastern Maine cheaper power to offset the economic decline of its forests and fisheries. Appointed relief's No. 2 man last week by WPA's new Administrator Francis Clark Harrington was Howard Owen Hunter, a southerner who since 1933 has had charge of all federal relief in 13 midwest states.

Colonel Stimson came honorary chairman of group whose aim is to halt U. S. war-goods sales to aggre Japan. Excerpt from their manifesto: "America is indignant at the gressive war in China with cruelties to helpless civilians. Americans—through lack of knowledge or indifference—go on noring the fact we are supplying the Japanese aggressors with sinews of war: scrap iron, steel, trucks—all more necessary to her than manufactured materials." With one hand we supply essential materials to the Japanese military machine... our other hand we spend billions for armaments which will prove against the mounting three aggressor nations. It does not make sense." LUCKY STATESMAN... Warm welcome, as indicated by kiss from pretty native girl of Bastia, awaited Premier Edouard Daladier, as head of French government, on his "loyalty" tour of Corsica and Tunisia. Many similar evidences of native loyalty to France, rather than Italy, some quarters of which are demanding cession of those territories, were given Premier. DROP ONE, PURL TWO...

(A U.S. threat to fortify Guam helped to win Japan's agreement to the 5-5-3 naval ratio in 1922 and the stipulation against further fortifications in the Pacific which were embodied in the Washington treaty that year). The Vinson bill also would take $39,000,000 from the navy's share of Roosevelt's $552,000,000 rearmament program to start construction or improvement of 11 other bases. In addition to extending a defensive half-circle from Alaska to Guam to Samoa, around the navy's present westernmost major stronghold at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, these would include a new base in the Caribbean at Puerto Rico, expansion of aviation facilities at Jacksonville and Pensacola, Fla. Companion army measures would allot $62,000,000 to strengthen Panama Canal defenses, supplement naval bases in the Atlantic and Pacific with army personnel and equipment. Able Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson, 51, who has represented the U.S. in China for 30 years and has not been home in ten, arrived in Washington last week to give Secretary Hull his realistic opinions on the trend of the war in China.

It does not make sense." LATIN AMERICA—Foreign Minister Oswaldo Arraza of Brazil last week accepted invitation from President Regelev to visit Washington next month to talk about trade, central defense and dictators. In the picture of the dictators fostering a totalitarian state in South America, Brazil looms first and rest because its undeveloped areas are widest, its German and Italian populations powerful. Two years ago Brazil wanted to hire commissioned U.S. warships to join its navy, but Argentina obstructed. After Argentina's obstruction of U.S. proposals at the Lima conference last month, her objections might now be disregarded. Nobody in Chile has ever taken five-year-old nacista party, very seriously except the nacistas, and last week, the nacist congress at Santiago was very grave about a serious mistake everybody (except the nacistas) had made for a long time—namely, confusing the word nacista with the word nazi. The latter they said, has horrid meanings; nacista has the most innocent root in the world—"birth." Chile's party, said the congress, was not in the least like Germany's. Admittedly, the party supported storm troops, members occasionally wore greyish-brown shirts and overseas caps, went about saluting each other with raised arms, sometimes drilled and took to the streets to fight the communists. But no, said the congress, Chile's party was unlike Germany's as a sickle is unlike a swastika. Nevertheless, the party name would henceforth be popular socialist vanguard. It would advocate nationalization of copper, nitrate, iron industries, electricity, and railroads (all but the last largely U.S.-owned); creation of a state-owned bank and merchant marine; housing for Chile's underpaid workers. Having thus clarified a world-wide misunderstanding—all based on the meaning of one little word—the newly born vanguardians heaved a serious sigh and adjourned.

DeMille directed a picture from an ambulance cot one day recently when he was taken ill and continued right on to the CBS Radio theatre for his Monday night broadcast of "Mayerling" with William Well and Janet Gaynor. A radio reputation means a line at theatre box offices. No better example can be found than Frankie Masters, who was bandleader on the Edgar Guest "It Can Be Done" programs for several years.

Ted Straeter, choral director of the Kate Smith Hour, is equally well described as a conductor, composer, arranger, accompanist, pianist and coach, for in each of these fields he is well known.

In one week he produced the regular daily serial, "Pepper Young's Family" and an hour dramatization of "Julius Caesar." Donald Dickson got the call as the featured soloist of the Sunday night Bergen-McCarthy-Ameche stanza during Nelson Eddy's spring and summer absence from the show. Dickson, a baritone, is one of the younger members of the Metropolitan Opera Company and one of its most promising stars. Though the CBS Playhouse broadcasting "We, the People" is within a stone's throw of dozens of restaurants, many of the out-of-town guests on the program bring their lunches to rehearsal. They want to take no chances on getting lost in busy Times Square while out at supper. It isn't often that a former shipping clerk gets the chance to crash the sacred precincts of opera. However, Eugene Conley, NBC tenor, may be the one to do it. Since he has clicked on radio, opera officials have shown keen interest in him. How's this for brainpower!
