'I A'divs I HARRY FOSTER
By PAUL MALLON
(Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mellon.) I
WASHINGTON. March . The:
quiet little gsme of . congressional !
leaders now Is to provide President ,
Roosevelt's corporation reform taxes
with what' may
be more or less
seriously called
"safeguards." j
Mr. Roosevelt
failed to m e n- i
tlon any one of ;
these In his mes- j
sage, hut, of:
course, they are
necessary. One
eminent house
leader suggested
a flat $500,000
exemption before
the sound of the
PAUL MALLON
reading clerk's voice had died down.
An equally prominent senator point
ed out that such-and-such additional
exemptions were advisable. There
will be many 'more of these before
and If the corporate phase of the
hill Is enacted.
Consequently. All the present ex
citement as to the effects of the re
form appear to be premature. The
proof of the pudding will be in the
making and eating thereof, a.id not
In the recipe which the White House
submitted. The real effect will not
be the tax, but In the exemption.
The matter Is being taken care of
with s smoothness and celerity which
suggests mutual consent, if not pre
arrangement.
Note There are two accepted con
gressional methods of killing a White
House suggestion4 with which the
leaders are not personally in sym
pathy. One is to fight it and the
other Is to smother It with affection,
to safeguard It to death. The latter
method is always less painful In 8
campaign year. .
Mr. Roosevelt's smile waa as - wlie
aa a watermelon rind when he sent
hla tax message to congress. In fact,
one of the reasons why he did not
go up to read It himself la supposed
to be that he could not trust himself
to keep from laughing.
The inner mirth was widespread.
Some of the New Deal tax .reform ex
perts fell out of their chairs chuck
ling. The reason for all the merriment
was this:
Here waa Mr. Roosevelt, who tried
last year to tax bigness, and congress
turned blm down. Here was a con
gress passing & bonua bill and the
supreme court knocking out a pro
cessing tax. both over hla objections.
So what doea he do, but disguise his
old bigness-tax idea as a needed rev
enue correction and ship It back up
to congress as almost a routine sug
gestion I
Everyone except the congressmen
could see the Joke.
Congress and Wall Street may have
been a little confused about Mr.
Roosevelt's purpose, but any tax er
pert could see through It. What they
generally saw was this:
.Mr. Roosevelt took a bad enforce
ment defect to start with. Several
rich people are escaping high surtax
rates by having their corporations ac
cumulate undivided profits. Every
one Is against that. Vice-President
Garner, who la not exactly a brain
truster, campaigned against ' it for
veers. He wrote severs! restrictions
Into tax laws designed to correct the
situation, but all have been Ineffe;
tlve. Upon that technical defect. Mr.
Roosevelt built a new and bigger ides.
He proposed to plug the loophole with
a whole new system of corporate
taxes. He would force all corpora

Tongue Point naval aviation base bin
after Major General Amos A. Pries,
retired, former chief of the chemical
warfare service, described the area as
a "good location for a naval air base.'
He also told the committee tt would
be relatively Inexpensive to enlarge
and raise the level of the site by fill
material dredged from the Columbia
river.
Pries, last witness to be ceiled, said
he became familiar with the Tongue
Point site near the mouth of the Col
umbia while serving as an srmy en
gineer In that district before he en
tered the chemical warfare service.
"I have also studied the mouth of
the Columbia from a defense angle
and believe there la no area of such
value economically that has so little
protection," he told the committee.
"If a naval air base is not estab- .
Juried there In peacetime the navy
would have no time to do It In war
time."
A one-foot fill on 700 acres as
Tongue Point, he estimated, would
cost about 930,000.
