Kennedy Advises
English Tailors
Shorter Socks and Shorter

Tale to Cutters
LONDON. May 22-(A3M7nlted
Sutea Ambassador Joseph P. Ken
nedy advised English tailors to
day to lower the 'waistlines of
trousers and shorten socks and
shirts, - but his . advice was dis
missed or one of their spokesmen
as just 'another little bit of Blar
ey." J. -J:? . vW--
; Kennedy tola a luncheon of the
American chamber of commerce
that Americans probably "would
like those tine English socks if
they could get some that did not
come up to their knees" and "they
could also use some shirts that
didn't come down to the same
place.' not to mention trousers
which had their waistline where
God made it on man and not in
the general vicinity of the shoul
der blades."-' i
The editor of 'Tailor and Cut
ter," trade Journal of English tai
lors, said he regarded the am
bassador's remarks as "Just a
pleasant exaggeration."
"There are plenty of English
socks that do not come up to the
knees, but merely reach the calf,"
He said. v.tv
.fl do not know of any shirt
that cornea down to the knees and
I was not even aware that English
shirts are made longer, than Amer
ican ones. If they are, I suppose
It Is that Englishmen want to
keep themselves , warm about the
middle., Perhaps Mr. Kennedy Is
accustomed to very short shirts
and he might find himself much
more comforts bis if he wore Eng
lish shirts. -
"The point.; about. trousers Is
that where braces (suspenders)
are worn, as la England. It is an
advantage to have them cut a

Court Rules Tax
DuJylroin Judges
Federal Bench not I Given
Immtntity From Taxes,
; J Ruling Holds f 1 ;
WASHINGTON. May 'll.-m-
The supreme court, In a 7 to 1 de
cision today, decided the federal
Income tax applied to. the salaries
of Its own members and. those of
all other federal judges.
The decision meant there Is no
longer any class of public office
holder who can claim income tax
Immunity under the constitution
because on March 27 the court de
cided federal and state employes,
other than judges, have no such
Immunity.
Today's decision, like the ear
lier one, reversed precedent. It
bad long been the view that a con
stitutional provision exempted fed
eral judges from the tax. 'In fact,
such an opinion was expressed in a
supreme court decision in 1920.
But Justice Frankfurter, deliv
ering the majority opinion today,
said that to subject the jurists to
a general tax "is merely to recog
nize that judges are also citizens,
and that their particular function
In government does not generate
an immunity from sharing with
their fellow citizens the. material
burden of the government whose.
constitution and , laws they are
charged with administering." .
The decision held specifically
that Judge Joseph W. Woodrough
of Omaha, Nebr., a member of the
U. S. circuit court of appeals, was
liable for a $031! federal tax on
the $12,500 salary he received in
1831.

Ohio Senator Declares
Administration Plan
Is 'Immoral'
WASHINGTON. May tt.-yP)-Calling
the administration's con
tinued deficit spending "utterly
dangerous and completely im
moral.' Senator Taft (R-Ohio)
said tonight It could lead only to
"bankruptcy. Inflation, and the
end of the American way of life
as we have known it."
"No government," he said in
an address prepared for the radio
(NBC) "ever has maintained a
continued deficit without finally
repudiating its. debts."
j It that happened here, he said,
"we could not escape the experi
ment of a socialized state, con
trary to every principle of Ameri
can freedom."
The Ohio senator spoke on a
program arranged as part of the
republican national committee's
"national debt week," intended to
call attention of the people to the
government's fiscal position.
With the same aim, the com
mittee set np a display in the
shopping district today which has
a red light flashing every four
seconds for the $1,000 the gov
ernment spends in that time, and
a green light every seven seconds
for the kl.000 taken in.

building is used with a sign that
says 940 such structures could be
