irEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. "WEDNESDAY. MAY 12. 1937. PAGE FIVE USE OF TAX POWER SEEN AS CONTROL Secretary Wallace Says Govt. Must Act As Police man, Coordinator, Clear ing House, Stimulator WASHINGTON. Msy IS (API ITie federal government. Secretary Wallace said recently, must me Its taxing power In the next few years In an effort to control another boom and depression. "A new science of government ! In the malting," he declared, "the broad outlines of which are Just appearing." The farm spokesman In President Roosevelt's cabinet declared the gov ernment's place In the future would be "partly a policeman, partly a co ordinator, partly a clearing house and partly a stimulator." Every Ten Years "There seems to be a tendency for a boom and crash to come about once every ten years," Wallace said. "If 1619 produced 1921 and 1929 pro duced a 1932, we can not help from looking to the possibilities of a 1939 producing a 1942. "There are indications that organ ised business, labor and agriculture, left to themselves, may produce a situation some time during the next 10 years which might bring about some time in the 1940' a repetition of that which we experienced In 1921 and the early 1930's." The secretary said many economists believed the national Income would climb to "at least 80 billion dollars'' by 1940, unless a catastrophic war interrupted. National income last year was about 69 billions, compared with a depression low of about 46 billions and the 1929 peak of about 79 bil lions. Sees 1940 Surplus If the 1940 forecast la realized, Wal lace aald. present federal tax rates will produce Income exceeding gov ernmental expenditures and "there will be a surplus which can be ap plied on the debt." The secretary said that many cor poratlona and private Individuals would make large profits and have large savlnga in the next few years. In the past, he said, large aavlngs usually have resulted in unwise spending and speculation which in turn caused a depression. "In short," he said, "an unusual pickup in corporate and personal sav ings Is likely to be followed by a business recession.'1 Wallace said the government could increase taxes In the period of big profits and aavlngs and have the money thus produced to pass out In times of depression. The Increases, be declared, ahould be made great enough to prevent savings reaching the point at which unwise specula tion would begin. Defends Relief Spending He remarked that many persons were worried about the outpouring of billions of dotlara "for auch activi ties as WPA. PWA. AAA and resettle ment." He declared, however, that funds from such actlvitiea found their way chiefly to persons who bad little or no Income In depression times, and so acted as an economic atablllzer. Wallace aald there was little chance for halting government expenditures for relief and almlllar activities. These extraordinary expenditures." he said, "will be with ua for a long time in the future but the volume may vary considerably according to the stages of the business cycle." 4 Saved, 1 Lost In Navy Plane Crash WASHINGTON.

K.T.C QUART M.50 S464 t la all Stat Iters By C. E. Butterfleld (Associated Press Radio Editor) NEW YORK. May 13. Tele vision on a screen Images 18 by 24 Inches square produced by a newly developed cathode ray tube was demonstrated to the silver anniver sary 'convention of the Institute of Radio Engineers here today. The picture has a brightness equal to that of home movies. By Increasing the distance from the screen It . la possible to obtain one as large ab three by four feet good enough to be viewed by an aud'ence of several hundred. Enlargement Simple Enlargement Is obtained through a simple optical system placed before the flurorescent end of the tube. where the original picture appears at the small size of ! by 3Vi Inches. Details of the new tube, which is the result of several years research In the laboratories of the Radio Cor-1 KIHT9CKT STMIGHT BOURBON WtflSKtf IS FOR TELEVISION NEW TUBE Picture Has Brightness Equal to Home Movies Scientists Say Tube Is Distinct Advancement poratton of America, were outlined In papers written by Dr. W. H. Zworyktn ' W. H. Painter and Dr. R, R. Law. the men directly concerned with Its de sign. It Is the outgrowth of the "kine scope," the television receiving tube that paints Images on Its flat end but does not project them. The larg est ''kinescope" to date with a view ing end 15 Inches In diameter, per mits pictures approximately 9 by 13 Inches. Not Vet Terfect While the projection tube la re garded In scientific circles as a dis tinct advancement. Dr. Law said It had not yet reached the stage where It can be used outside the laboratory. The tube. 18 Inches In length but much smaller In diameter at the larg est end than the "kinescope." has as Its principal feature a new type of "electron gun" developed by Dr. Law and his associates. The "gun" which focuses the flying electrons, had to be designed to produce an extremely slender beam yet have brilliancy enough for projection. The demonstration, part of an en tire afternoon devoted to a televis ion symposium, was planned to In clude a showing to the visiting en gineers of the field-test 441-line pic tures produced by the RCA-NB8 sta tion on the Empire State building from the Radio City studios. Illuminating tests by Harley lams. R. B. James and W. H. Hlckok. also of the RCA laboratories, led them to conclude In another paper that out door television pickups of football Raines were less likely to be satisfac tory than parades and races. This, they held, was due to the time of day and the lateness of the se&on. In the measurement and recording of the brightness of scenes typical for televlMon thev also found that 1 present equipment was sufficiently responsive for baseball. Dr. Zworykln, In a paper having the collaboration of Q. A. Morton and L. E. Flory, ssld the "iconoscope.' the electric camera of television, was still undergoing Improvement looking to ward greater sensitivity. E COMING FOR CHAMBER EXHIBIT OF MINERALS A letter today from Got. Philip LeFOllette of Wisconsin promised a contribution to the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce all-state ex hibit of gems nd minerals. At the same time a letter was re ceived from Gordon Stout, secretary of the department of agriculture, South Dakota, who stated that rare speclmena of sand crystals were be ing sent for the display. Governor LaPollette'a letter said : "Thank you for sending me a mem bership card to the Southern Ore gon Gem and Mineral society. "X am quite in accord with your desire to assemble an exhibit In which every state in the Union will be represented. I am asking Profes sor Ernest T. Bean, state geologist, to make an appropriate selection and send It to you." Mr. Stout's letter said: "Under separate cover you should receive two samples of sand crystals which, In behalf of Gov.
