A BOUT four and one-half centuries
ago, an Italian sailed the Atlantic
Ocean to discover America. For many weary
months he journeyed before touching land in the
western hemisphere.
Yesterday, a squadron of twenty-four Italian
seaplanes landed at the very heart of America
after having left their native land during the cur-
rent month.
The planes and the daring airmen who piloted
them on the 6,100-mile-flight are now at the
Century of Progress Exposition, having fitfully
demonstrated the progress of four and one-half
centuries.
Aviation has again proven its usefulness, for
long distance mass flying, which will be inval-
uable when perfected, has been shown successful
and feasible. The men and the nation who made
this demonstration possible are to be highly comp-
limented. For this was no idle search for fame
in which the -trans-Atlantic recipe was followed
in order to add to the glorification of the indi-
vidual or a group. This was a complete scientific
venture backed with common sense and good taste
and should be appreciated as such.

0 PINIONATED articles on Ann Ar-
bor's police department have ap-
peared recently in a column on this page devoted
to an expression of individual thought and out-
lok Items which appear in that column reflect
only the opinion of the writer and do not con-
cerh the editorial attitude of The Daily. For this
reason it is only fair to state that much of the
criticism which finds its way into a column of
that nature .is often the result of a biased out-
look which has developed from one-sided experi-
ences rather thian intelligent investigation.
In the instance of the criticisms directed to-
wards the efficiency of Ann Arbor's police depart-
ment, something should be added to that which
has already been ,stated.
There can be no question in the mind of any
rational individual regarding the part played by
the police in attempts to cope with the cycle of
fraternity robberies. Naturally the police do all in
their power to prevent such criminal outburste
i4 to apprehend those responsible for the out-
rages. And, considering the fact that those living
in fraternities have had ample time in which to
earn a lesson from the robberies of the past, the
police do more to prevent such action than do
the fraternities themselves.
.Logically, all that the members of the police
'force can do to prevent local robberies is to main-
tain as strict a watch as possible throughout the
aty. They do this in as efficient a manner as
possible with a limited number of men. But the
fraternities have even a better opportunity to
prevent robbery. The police car, when malting its
rounds at night, is hampered to a great ex-
tent when it comes to keeping guard over fra-
ternities. It is impossible to personally guard each
house all the time. And even if that were pos-
sible the police are in no position to know who
belongs in a house where people are coming and
going at all odd hours of the day and night.
We don't necessarily recommend a personal
latch-key for each fraternity man, and yet that
might be one step toward a solution of the prob-
lemn. As it is now most houses are open all
the time and, as has been demonstrated, outsiders
can get in and wander about a house at will un-
less noticed by someone belonging in the house.
Consequently, a criticism of the abilities of the
policemen on the grounds that they cannot pre-
vent fraternity robberies is, on the face, rather
ridiculous.

A Washington
BYSTANDER 1
ty KIRKE SIMPSON
WASHINGTON-The summer parade of the
great figures of American private banking across
the witness stand of a Senate committee, what-
ever its legislative product may be next winter,
served to paint two of the main characters in
wholly new colors to the press and news-reading
public.
Thus it was found that J. P. Morgan, the sec-
ond, instead of the cold, aloof, inscrutable money
baron of popular fancy was a pleasantly genial
fellow, of quick conversational wit, enjoying a
joke, even on himself.
And in Ott Kahn, master of the firm of
Kahn, Loeb and company, there was revealed nc
reactionary, die-hard defender of past or exist-
ing economic social systems. Instead he stood as a
champion of change and of progressive govern-
mental experimenting, realizing that many exist-
ing conditions are "overripe" for change.
It is Mr. Kahn's observation that every 30 years
or so the restless spirit of America, spurred per-
iaps by recurrent depression cycles, moves to alter
end modernize the national "economic pattern."
He had no quarrel with that nor with the con-
llusion that such a movement now has definitely
et in and is exemplified in "the new deal."
Coming from such a high, ultra-capitalistic
:ource, all that is very interesting. Yet the thing
Mr. Kahn had to say that is most apt to be re-
)eated when Congress reassembles next winter to
)atch or rebuild the permanent government struc-
.ure was what concerned income taxes.
The drive for abandonment of the capital gains
nd losses provisions of existing tax laws un-
doubtedly was speeded by the banker's feeling that
Jncle Sam ought not to "gamble with prosperity"
or invite tax dodging.
Many Tax Cases
Which lends point to figures the Bystander
aas collected throwing light from a wholly dif-
ferent angle on this matter of tax dodging.
.Conning over the just upward of 200 cases al-
ready on file for attention of the Supreme Court
aext term, it develops that better than one out
f every three is a tax case.
Actual count shows the commissioner of in-
ternal revenue, the national tax collector, is named
as a party in some 75 of those 200 cases. He is
either appealing for the government the decision
A a lower court or fighting an appeal. And there
are many other tax cases to which the commis-_
sioner is not a direct party.
Looking For Loopholes
Virtually every case involves attempts to get out
of paying taxes-to find legal loopholes. Govern-
nent briefs, to the outraged clamor of council
for taxpayers, insistently press upon the court
expedient consideration of the total loss of rev-
anue, in millions or tens of millions, the govern-
ment might face in this, that or the other case.
Every technicality of corporate or individual in-
come tax laws and regulations, from the capital
:amins and losses to the consolidated corporate re-
turns, is under fire. And the mass of these pending
tax litigations does not get much closer to present
day returns than 1922 or 1923, more than a decade
ago.
When Professor Moley sailed to London as spe-
cial messenger to the American conference delega-
ion, it was more or less officially stated that'
Bernard M. Baruch would bat for him in Wash-
ington for a time. An office at the state depart-
ment was placed at Mr. Baruch's disposal.
Yet Mr. Baruch promptly went to New York.

voyance, spiritualism, mediumistic revelations and
other mercentry exploitations of the supernatural.
On more than one occasion the two men would
get together for an extensive comparison of notes.
So, because it has a definite natural back-
ground, the story of "The Mind Reader" is aI
good one. Warren William is starred and Con-
stance Cumming is the leading woman. Miss Cum-
ming's work in this particular instance is marked
with a very fine restraint which makes her ideal
for the part of the "sweet young thing" who falls
in love with the -fakir, believing him to be sincere
and honest. Allen Jenkins also has a good part, as
a friend and assistant of the fortune teller, and
he handles it quite nicely. Clarence Muse, Donald
Dillaway, Natilie Moorhead, Clara Blandick and
Robert Greig are also in the cast.
AT THE WHITNEY
"MY WIFE'S FAMILY"
"FORBIDDEN"
(Showing Sunday through Tuesday)
Gene Gerrard, celebrated musical comedy star,
who recently completed a co-starring tour with,
Gertrude Lawrence, heads the roster of players
in "My Wife's Family" which opens today at the
Whitney theatre. It is said to be an uproariously
funny farce comedy with clever situations and
wise-cracking dialogue. Tyrannized- young hus-
bands whose mothers-in-law are too prone to use
their imaginary authority over an entire house-
hold, should be especially entertained by "My
Wife's Family," if what we've heard about it is
tdue.
On the same program will be a repeat show-
ing of Barbara Stanwyck in "Forbidden," with
Adolphe Menjou. "Forbidden" is one of the best
pictures ever made by Miss Stanwyck and of
course Menjou's acting in "The Front Page" will
never be forgotten by theatre-goers. One of the
new melody master series with Jesse Crawford at
the organ and Graham McNamee talking Univer-
sal News will complete the current program.
Within the next few weeks, we understand,
the programs at the Whitney will change bi-week-
ly instead of every two or three days. This will
give a longer booking to the first run pictures of
prominence. Among the future attractions listed
for the Whitney are many of interest; We are par-
ticularly awaiting the Skeets Gallagher-Bert
Roach comedy, "Easy Millions;" "War Correspon-
dent;" "No More Orchids;" "The Night Club
Lady;" "Pagan Lady;" "Manhattan Tower;" and
"Cocktail Hour."
AT THE MICHIGAN
"COLLEGE HUMOR"
(Showing Sunday through Wednesday)
College life, not as it is but as it should be,
is vividly portrayed in Paramount's "College Hu-
mor," which opens today at the Michigan theatre.
As might be imagined, the picture is replete with
snappy song hits, dance routines, and shots of gals
in a dormitory scantily clad (the gals, not the
dorm.)
Many radio head-liners are included in the list
of stars which make up the cast for this comedy
of the campus. Bing Crosby; Jack Oakie, Richard
Arlen, Mary' Carlisle, Mary KornMian; George
Burns, Gracie Allen, Joseph Sauers, Lona Andre
and Eddie Nugent are a few of the "collegians"-
who help to put the picture across.
"Learn to Croon," "Moonstruck," and "The Old
Ox Road" (whatever that means) are the leading
song numbers of "College Humor". There is also a
dance called the "Fraternity Stomp" portrayed
in the film. The picture was directed by Wesley
Ruggles.

Poliee Seize Two Who
Make Kidnaping Threat
NEW YORK, July 15.-G')-An at-
tempt of two men to obtain $10,000
from Dr. Jacob Wachsman, Brook-
lyn physician, under threat of kid-
naping, failed today when Brooklyn
police speedily apprehended them
after they had collected a dummy
package of bills.
The arrested pair, who surrendered
when police opened fire on their au-
tomobile, were booked as Michael
Discolo, New -York, and Cincent
Mosci, Brooklyn.
Tipped off by the intended victim,
police were lying in wait at the cor-
ner of Sixth Avenue and 47th Street
in Brooklyn when two men accosted
Wachsman according to schedule
and information given Wachsman
previously in a telephoned warning.
Snatching the dummy bundle from
Wachsman., the pair fled in their
car when they saw that they were
surrounded by police.

CIVIC LEADERS and University of-'
ficials in charge of community af-
fairs for the summer in Ann Arbor are to be
greatly comnplimented upon the splendid series of
concerts, sings, and miass meetings which have
been and will be presented.
The community sing on the campus was at-
tended last Sunday by approximately 1,000 stu-
dents and Ann Arbor residents. The Wednesday
'ight band concerts have also attracted large
gatherings. Atttractive plans for the future as-
sure continued acceptance by those who have
found enjoyment in the programs already set
forth.
With general campus activities at a lower ebb
in the summer than during the regular academic
rear-due to the absence of football games, proms,
and the surrounding color-the efforts of commu-
oity leaders to fill up this gap is even more note-
worthy.
