Anxious to remain in Miami to cure a cold which developed just before his southern trip, but forced to return to Washington to be present when the tax bill comes to the senate floor early next week, Senator Lewis chatted over breakfast in his room at the Columbus hotel, discussing pending legislation. The new tax bill, he explained, represents a theory long desired, of a very low tax on any earnings or income of those who toil in manual labor or who earn salaries, and an increased tax to make up the deficiency of this order, on inheritances and on large incomes "that have been escaping income tax together with a new tax upon excess profits that have been taken from the consumer.

(J) The prospects for that presidential fishing trip next Tuesday did not look so bright today. Business is piling up. Mr. Roosevelt had four pressing issues to tackle. First and foremost was the threat of an automobile strike.

Then there were the air mail. Tet-erans allowances and the railroad wage problems. The president was ready today to approve the Philippines independence bilL A willing congress put through his recommendation that the island legislature make its decision on the question by next October. A conference late yesterday with officials of the postoffice, commerce and justice departments gave indication of some early action toward making air mail contracts with private concerns, possibly even before congress adopts permanent air mail legislation. There was not the slightest intimation from the White House of how the president feels about the house's action in overruling senate amendments for increases in veterans' allowances increases and for restoration of federal pay cuts.

The White House watched for the senate's reaction today, but there was some doub whether Mr. Roosevelt approves even the lower schedules demanded by the house. A veto of this legislation embodied in the independent offices appropriation bill would not constitute a major surprise. Notwithstanding these and other problems, however, the president has yet to change his plans to leave the capital next Tuesday for a fishing cruise, in Southern waters. Aids feel that if it is humanly possible he will adjust all major matters over the week-end and take his trip anyway.

Miami Daily News) This is the language used by one of the country's largest food manufacturers recently to describe the Miami Daily News Food Section. We'd hesitate to say that, although we've long suspected it. But you'll pardon our immodesty in quoting an authority especially when the compliment comes unsolicited. Turn -to the Second section of today's newspaper and get acquainted with a Food Section that other newspapers the country over are beginning to accept as the perfect model for their own efforts in this direction. Imitation is the sincerest kind of flattery and Daily News Homemakers and others will be interested in learning that a feature they have long enjoyed is now being made available to other homemakers in various large cities.

For instance: There came in the mail the other day a little note' from Editor Eleanor Patterson of the Washington Herald, who. as a recent winter visitor to Miami, was a constant reader and admirer of the Daily News Food Section. She enclosed sam-fU aieeU the Herald's food pages. One was marked The others were labeled (After reading the Miami Daily News Food Section). And, on the front page of the Washington Herald was this excerpt from a signed story by Editor Patterson Dear Reader: It sudden-ly occurred to me that the Food page the Herald was running was like every other food page flat and un- attractive.

So I decided to take hold and run the page each Saturday myself. (Sounds conceited, doesn't it? Well, just watch the others follow me). If you have any advice, suggestions, or criticism to make, just write in and tell me. The Washington Herald's Food pages that day ran to generous of pictures (like yon find in color every Friday in the Daily News) with sprightly-written interviews with famous chefs and literally scores of tips for homemakers. Yes, it's nice to be imitated.

It's nice to be described as "the nation's best food section." It's so nice, in fact, that we thought you the homemakers far whom we publish it would lii to know( too. getting the bonus."
