WASHINGTON, April 8. Treasury
.Secretary Morgenthau's remarkable
case of grippe Improved progressively
as the house tax hearings neared an
end. The timeli
ness of theattack,
which dispatched
htm to sunny
Georgia Just be
fore the hearings
started, likewise
restored him to
health and Wash
ington the day
they were sched
uled to close.
The absence of
the general dur
ing the formula
ttve stage of the
Paul Mallon
battle has caused considerable cont
inent among camp followers. Thoy
are making the natural mistake of
suspecting that It Is a personal mat
ter, where as It Involves the whole
strategy of the administration fight.
Therein lies the explanation of what
lias happened ao far and the promise
pf what Is to come.
More than one general has consid
ered It wise to find out where the
army Is going before attempting to
lead It there. This technique Is es
pecially advisable with armies as un
ruly as congress In a tax fight during
e campaign year.
What happened was this: Generals
Roosevelt and Morgenthau submitted
the vague outlines of a corporation
tax reform with astounding posstbU
Sties for soaking the rich and sharing
the wealth. They then sent a couple
I of cavalry troopers. Colonels OHphant
and Helverlng (and Captain McLeod).
up to argue It out with the , army
while they went lUshlng, or curing
the grippe, as the case may be.
In the interim, the details of the
tax Issue have been fought out. The
vagaries of the original scheme have
been snipped off. It Is possible to
ce just what can be done.
A vigorous leadership for that can
Dow be undertaken.
A general understanding has been
reached among the Insiders that the
Jinal form of the bill will not carry
ny broad rich-soaking or wealth
sharing Implications.
The corporation tax, they say, will
irlke only the few corporations which
have more surpluses now than they
trill ever be able to use and the per
sonal corporations which have been
Wsed for tax evasion.
Sufficient exemptions will be pro
Wded to enable corporations general
ly, big and little, to retire their debts
and accumulate reasonable surpluses
without an Inciease In existing tax
ation. If that is not sufficiently guaran
teed In the bill now being composed
f by the house committee. It will be
' provided In the senate. At least this
ts the promise now being made so

existing runways and taxi strips, in
stallation of drain tiles and land
scaping of a park at the Medford air
port hangar.
An expenditure of 131,839 in the
first project was to go for Improve

aprons, rearrangement of boundary
llghts and Installation of additional
boundary lights.

plan calling for a total outlay of
$366,000 for a complete modernisa
tion of the airport.
. The 'full modernization plan. It Is
understood, haa the approval of the
bureau of air commerce which Is anx
ious to bring all commercial airports
up to standard. The bureau Is look
ing to the future when giant 40-paa-senger
ships will be standard equlp
metn on all major airlines, and it Is
the aim of the bureau to maintain
airports In keeping with the demands
to be made upon them, It was stated.
The second unit of the $366,000
program, Mr. Scheffel and Mr. Heath
stated, provides for the topping of the
runways with gravel.
Under the third unit the runways
would be given a hard surface and
under the fourth and final unit a
new lighting system would be In
stalled. The present project. Mr. Scheffel
said. Is about 90 percent completed.
Extension of tho runway will be fin
ished In two weeks, he stated, while
the whole Job will be completed In
about 30 days.
The field now haa one of the four
warming-up aprons and another is to
be Installed before the present proj
ect Is finished. Mr. Scheflel related.
Installation of the other two aprons
is to be deferred until other med
