Business Men Claim U. S. Is Highest Taxed
Rising Levies Bemoaned by Speakers at Meeting Of U. S. Chamber
Per Capita Charge is $79
Germans and French Pay Less Than Americans To Government
WASHINGTON, May 1.—<GP>— Am ericans will be the most heavily taxed people in the world unless New Deal spending is curbed immediately. business leaders warned today in appealing to the government to give industry a chance to function normally again.
The threat of rising levies was nv.de by William B. Bell, president of the American Cyanamid Co., and ether nationally prominent men addressing delegates to the 23rd annual convention of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce.
“Few know it but Americans already are more heavily taxed per capita than the French and the Germans" said Bel!. “Unless we cut out public works we will soon be more heavily taxed than the English."
Tax $79 Per Person He cited figures showing that the per capita tax in the United States today is $79. $4 more than a year Ego. compared to $38.82 in Germany and 046.71 in France. As American taxes soar, the British have balanced their budget and sr** lowering levies. The per capita tax in the United Kingdom was 91.81 in 1934 and has been cut to $87.50.
In defense of this situation. Bell paid, the New Dealers only say: ‘•You haven’t seen anything yet!” Delegates Militant Bell's observations came as thf representatives of trade and com-j merce opened the second day of I their bombardment on the recovery administration. More militant than a year ago when they felt the New (Deal had reached a peak of experimentation, the delegates attacked th. social security program, proposed elimination of holding companies. the NRA. the AAA and other recovery units.
The thousands of words which speakers have loosed upon the delegates have made clear the general position of business toward luny of Mr. Roosevelt’s policies, follows:
Social security: Should be given iriore rareful study and atcion Ihould be delayed until commerce
pas revived.
f The AAA: Should be scrapped.
NRA <« Favored
The NRA: Should be revised and p.tended in such a way as to give h.oustr' Wider powers toward self-dilation.

The scene for “Dees American Rules” is done entirely in black and silver. The play is laid in the Co-coanut Grove at the Ambassador
hotel, and silver palm trees against a black background make a most effective setting.
A large window occupying almost the entire back of the stage forms the focal point for the set of “From the East Window.” This scene is carried out all in white.
By the ingenious device of double Walls the gold and white set of the last play, ‘’The Devil Wears Skirts,” is indirectly lighted.
Two of the four plays will be chosen by the audience, the officers of Drama shop, and the Apolliad committee, to represent Drama shop in the Apolliad contest on Saturday night. Admission to the presentation on Friday night will be free with activity books, otherwise, there will be a charge of 25 cents.
