1 A week from today, Dr. Ralphl

Georgla for an address in the his
toric chapel, ty which the public
lwm se invited. Dr. Cram is a
leader of the Gothic wing of a.rchi-l
tecture,
Last fall he told the Americanl
Conference of Church Architecture
that architecture and its alliedt
arts stand higher in the United
Stateg than in any other cmmtry‘
in the world, He added that the
only approach to} rivalry is in
Scandinavia.
It is said that ! Dr. Cram does
not theorize. For those who likel
visual picturés to anchor ideas, hel
compared the durability of the
Cathedral of St. John the Divine
iln New York, of which he is the
controlling architect, with that of
a superdreadnaught costing the
same sum, $30,000,000, according |
to a Christian Sclence Monitor
story, November 23.
The warship would be scrapped
after 25 years of service, the
ehances being that, if there was
a war during its time, it had done
incaleulable harm, the story quot
ed him further, whereag the eca
thedral would minister helpfully
to 20,000,000 persons in its time,
and be good for at least 2,000
years of such. ministering.
Dr. Cram was born in Hampton,
N. H., in 1863. His firm—Cram

THE WASHINGTON LOWDOWN
BY RODNEY DUTCHER
‘ Banner-Herald Washington
i Correspondent
WASHINGTON .—Mr. Roosevelt
soaks the rich and the rich soak
Mr: Roosevelt and Mr. Roosevelt
soaks -the rich again and if they
don't look out there will be no one
left to- support the American Lib
erty League,
| The next tax plan drips with
New Deal philosophy. 1f Congress
accepts it, the New Deal will have
inched along a bit farther in shar-‘
ing industrial wealth and restor
ing mass purchasing power, ‘
Proposal to tax corporationi
Ipmflts by levying on undividedl
j surpluses and dividends on a get-l
| 'em-going-or-coming scheme was
’substuuted at the last nioment for|
an earlier decision by Roosevelt to
ask Congress for an mh,erlta.nce]
tax. and a larger assessment
against higher bracket incomes. ‘
The more Roosevelt studied his
tax problem, the more this rela
tively radical idea appealed ,to
Ihim. Since everything that hap
pens in Washington this year has
| a political aspect, it is better than
la good guess that the president
was especially impressed with the
| desirability of appealing to con
‘sumers, who are fed up with pro
| cessing taxes on food and will
now benefit by a great reductlon‘
in such taxes, and to small stock
holders, who presumably will ben
|efit from more and bigger atvi
dends stimulated by the surplus
I tax. r ‘
s There Is still ‘plenty of question
here, however, whether the tax
will work well, whether it will
work fairly, and whether it will
be so framed as to be proof
against evasion.
The man whe sold this drastic
revision of tax machinery to
Roosevelt and to Secretary Mor
genthau was Mr. Herman Oli
phant, general counsel for the
Treasury-
Mr. Morgenthau thinks Mr. Oli
phant, once a law professor -at
Johns Hopkins and later legal ad
viser to FCA under Morgenthan,
is a genius.
That partly explains why _the
cheers around here aren‘t less re
strained. The Treasury has a
‘Washington reputation for a lack
of expert technical advicers.
i What's Claimed for It
{ Here ar e the, various claims
| made for the nlan:
| The rich will pay more taxes.
| Well-to-do stockholders will pay
| more, too, but will receive more
;money in dividends. Purchasing
| power will expand because divi
| dend recipients will spend mNe,
| pecause consumers will be able to
!hUy more farm products, and be
| cause some of the distributed
| profits may go into wages.
| The holding company idea will
| be discouraged, because undivided
| surpluses won't be used to acquire
isubsidiaries or buy stock in other
! corporationg —— another sock at
| “higness.” (Page Justice Brandeis
':md Dr. Frankfurter!) ;
| Txecess productive capacity will
| he discouraged, because corpora
; tions won't he ro likely to expand
| plant . nnless there's pressing de
mand for it. Corporations won't
have large surpluses to toss intd
the stock market and encourage
dangerous booms- o
|, Ecology? Oh, Sure!
i‘)&;gnmotfnnhermwu
taxpayers, let up take an excerpt
from House debate on the Depart
ment of Agriculture apprOprla‘tjon
bill:
Mr. Canmon of Missouri, inter
rupting Mr. Greever of Wyoming:
The . amendment the gentleman
rose to support is to establish cer
tain ecological stations, Nothing
the gentleman has said applied to
ecological stations and I wonder if
the gentleman knows what an
ecological station is.
Mr. Greever: The thing in which
we are interested in the statp of
Wyoming is co-operation—
Mr. Canon: Will tae gentleman
tell us what are ecological sta
tions? .
Mr. Greever: The situation in
which we are interested in Wygm
ing is stations to accomplish what
is providel for in the bill
Mr. Cannan: I am asking the
gentleman t; talk on the amend
ment. ’
Mr, Greever: I refuse o yield
further to the gentleman. I am
telling the gentleman about the
conditions we have in ogur state
and in the west,
They. Know Their Subject
Cannon and Robertson of Vir
ginia debate the world’s mean
ing and Robertson thinks it means‘
study of the life habits of blrda“
and animals and Cannon says he
doesn't know the meaning at all.
(The dictionary says ecology means
“the branch of biology which deals
with _the relations between organ
isms and their environment” in
care that's any help.)
Mr. Ekwall of Oregon: Whether
it means one thing or another, the
people of my state, who have ex
pressed themselves, are in favor of
this increase.
Mr. Cannon, addressing @ the
House: Some fellow back home
sends you a telegram and you rush
in hereé and say, “I do not know
what it ijs all about, but it is to
spend money and I am in favor of
spending it.” . . . At least know
what an ecological station is be
fore you come in here and ask for
one! ;

Clarke County Democutlc(
Executive Committee to
‘Meet Thursday on Primary
{ (Continued From Page One) ’
| |
la preferential primary for the pur-'i
| pose of selecting a Roosevelt dele-l
|gation to the national convention. l
i Committee Personnel :
| The members of the Clarke Coun- |
!ty Democratic Executive commit
|tee are: H. J. Rowe, chairman; !
!John L. Green, secretary; R. B.|
| Crane, George Crane, L. L. Lester,
| George, S. James, K. A. Hill, J, P.
;Nunnally, T. W. Morrison, A. O.]
| Flanagan, H. R. Waters, Harris
('l‘hurmond, Dean Amis and Lon
!Crawford. 1
At the meeting of citizens yes
lterday in Mr, Shackelford's office,
tat which time a statewide prefer
ential primary was fully discussed,
%it was decided to send a commit-}
|tee before the Clarke County Exe
!cutlve committee when it meets(
iThursday, to point out that ini
'adopting resolutions urging the
| State Democratic Executive com- |
| mittee to call a preferential pri-
Ima.ry, will be the county commit- |
téee carrying out the wishes of al
}la.rge majority of Democrats in this|
county. |
Felt Necessary l
The Clarke County Committee’s |
meeting Thuraday, it is said, is
felt necessary in order to express,
through regular, organized chan
nels the sentiment of the Demo
crats of this county regarding .zl
preferential primary. And it was
{ arranged yesterday, after newsl
| reports Monday morning had stat- |
| ea that Chairman Hugh Howell of
Ithe state committee had issued a
call for a meeting of his commit
tee on April 15 te consider wheth
er g preferential primary shall be
called ty select presidential dele
gates. :
Political observers, reading be
tween the lines of Chairman HOw
ell's call, believe that it is the in
tention of @Governor Talmadge,
who is sald to dominate the State
Executive Committee, not to call a
preferential primary but to per
mit the state committee to select
| a “Roorevelt” delegation to the
national convention which, in real
ity, would be a Talmadge delega
tion, because selected from the
\polmml intimates and supporters
{of the governor who remains a
bitter opponent of the present
Democratic national administra- |
tion. ‘
The state committee has the au
]thority to name a delegation’ to
| the national convention where
'there is no contest, but in view of
the fact that Governor Talmadge
| and his associates have carried
fion a bitter campaign against the
%»present national Democratic ad
ministration, and are still doing
!so, the supporters of President
Roosevelt feel that if the state
commitiee names the delegation
to Philadelphia, although it is
lnominally a “Roosevelt” delega
| tion, it will actually; be eontrolied
| by éovernor Palmadge and it will
be composed entirely of persons
who are, at heart, opposed to
iPresident Roosevelt and who may
be relied upon to join forces with‘
those who are determined to em
parrass the present national Dem
ocratic ndmlnistratio‘n. 1
Dangerous Course 4
Such a delegation, controlled by
Governor - Talmadge, although |
nominally & ‘“Roosevelt” delega-|
tion would, observers believe,
prove more. dangerous to Presi-|
dent Roosevelt and the Democratic
party than an outright anti-Roose-~
velt delegation.
Consequently, the Roosevelt
supporters in Cieorgia are determ
ined that a preferential primary
shall be held and that the Roose
velt delegation to Philadelphia
from this state shall be named by
President Roosevelt himself. This
will not be possible without a pref-/
erential primary under the present |
<et-up, with Governor Talmadge
in the driver's seat of the state
committee. ’
Roosevelt supporters believe
that the present intention of Gov
ernor Talmadge, dnd his close as
sociates, 1s to “capture” the Geor
gia, delegation to the nationa’
convention without holding a pri
mary. This can be done by select -
ing a delegation of Talmadge sup
porters and calling it a “Roose
velt” delegation,
In view of the fact that two
county primaries have shown that
Governor Talmadge would be de
cisively defeated in a statewide
primary agamst President Roose
velt, the Talmadge strategists
now are apparently attempting to
get, by covert means, what they
cannot hope to obtain by direct
methods—that is, by holding a
statewide primary.
Request Meeting
With these facts before them
the citizens who met yesterday
felt that the Clarke County Exe
cutive Committee should meef
immediately and urge the State
Democratic Executive Committee
to call a nreferential primary and
it was agreed by members-of the|
county committee attending the
meeting that the committee should

FLANDIN'S AUDIENCE !
WITH KING EDWARD
CALLED SIGNIFICANTx{
(Continuea From Page One) %
cessed after a one-and-a-half hour!
session until late tonight hoping,
in the meantime, to smooth out
their grave differences of opinion.
No communique was issued fol
lowing the session but it was stat
ed authoritatively that British tried
unsuccessfully to win at least par
tial approval from France and
Belgium for a discussion of the
iuiller suggestions,
A French source hinted that a
communication of some sort had
| been received from Berlin in which
the German stand was expressed as
“slightly more favorable.”
| The meeting of Locarno powers
!precedt‘d the afternoon session of
|the League of Nationg council, call
ied to consider the joint Franco-
Belgian resolution declaring Ger
[many a treaty violator,
| The League still awaited Hitler's
‘decislon as to whether to attend
the ccuncil session, After the Lo
carno conference began, the League
[secreturiut announced Hitler's re
}ply to yesterday’'s communication,
offering Cerman equality with the
iother Locarno nations about = the
council table, was not yet sighted.
| A French spokesman frankly de
clared his belief that the gravest
moment in post-war history was
reached with today’s meeting of
‘the Locarno powers and the decis
|ive council session, coupled with
IFlandin's audience with King Ed
'ward,
The future, this spokesman said,
depended upon British reaction to
French demands for punishment of
Germany.
Fully Determined }
Flandin was understood to huvel
entered the lLocarno meeting fully
determined to press the British fm“
a clear-cut statement as to what
they would do to uphold the Lu~l
carno pact and to give the French‘
immediate assistance in the event
of a German attack. ‘
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden promised such aid in
an address to the House of Com-‘
mons immediately after the German‘
march into the Rhineland prec!n-l
tated the crisis. '
Flandin, however, sought an .'w-'
surance that Hitler's forwarding of|
peace proposals, including an offer
for non-aggression treaties and an
air pact, did not change this stand.
The French delegation was de
scribed reliably ag feeling that after
today’'s meeting of .the ILocarno
powers and the League council, they
would have no further interest in
London negotiations.
~ Furthermore, the French were
said to feel, the League has about
run its course as an “international
instrument’ and today's sessions
might be the beginning of the end
of the League in this role.
