"Miss Moore, Tennessee is proud of Its statesmen, such as Andrew Jack son, but it is equally proud of the splendid record of achievement made by the guest of honor here tonight,” Speaker Byrns told the singer. "And while we value her wonderful achieve ment, we love her also for her wom anly qualities.” Senator McKellar, introduced by the toastmaster.

"I usually sing my speeches.” she laughed as she arose to greet the so ciety, and then, growing more serious, declared: “If I had all the words in the world tonight, I couldn’t tell you how lovely this is. “What you give me is much greater than what I give you.” she concluded, and kissing her hands to the party, begged permission to leave, in order to take an early train. Jack W. Gates, president of the Ten nessee Society, was in charge of ar rangements for the dinner. Qraces Meet at Concert Miss Moore Welcomes Little Cripple at Foot of Fame’s Ladder. I_ _ET-1 Grace Vitality meets Grace Moore in the star's dressing room at Constitution Hall. —Star Staff Photo. BY FRANCES LIRE. Another dream came true for Grace j Vitality yesterday. In the electric atmosphere of a flow er-filled dressing room at Constitution Hall she met Grace Moore—and the ! singer who is at the top of the ladder paused graciously to greet the singer who is at the foot of the ladder to wish j her luck. Yesterday morning Miss Moore heard I the story of the 16-year-old crippled girl whose untrained voice was dis covered for WJSV Washington radio fans through a broadcast arranged in I connection with the President’s ball. She learned that she herself is Grace j Vitality's favorite singer and that one of her songs, 'Ciribiribin." was used on the young professional’s first radio pro gram. Something should be done about it Miss Moore agreed. So immediately after her concert, with hundreds out side clamoring vainly for admittance, the famous singer paused to kiss a flower and hand it to her young ad mirer. The meeting was the climax to a happy afternoon in which Grace Vital ity. who sings each Saturday afternoon over WJSV, paid her first visit to Con stitution Hall and got her first glimpse of back-stage life. Unable to obtain a ticket to the concert, she arrived early at the stage door for her inter view. Then some one found a place for her alongside the electrician, where by sitting on a high stool she could get a peep at the woman she has wor shipped on the screen and dreamed of meeting. As the program drew to a close she was hustled back to the dressing room. While a photographer was making a picture, Miss Moore talked to her. "Are you a soprano, too?” she in quired. speaking as one singer to an other. Grace noddeji and Miss Moore smiled. “Keep the good work up,” she said, in a low, confidential voice. Then she took a pen and scrawled in an autograph book: "To Grace Vitality in remembrance of Grace Moore.” Friends crowded about, and the in terview was over. The little crippled girl held the flower tightly in her hand. "Oh, I’m so happy,” she thrilled. ‘‘She kissed the flower—did you see? Isn’t sHe lovely?" Then she was off to prepare for a final event in her day—attendance at the dinner given in Miss Moore’s honor by the Tennessee State Society. There, at a table directly in front of the speaker’s table, Grace Vitality joined hundreds of Tennesseeans in paying tribute to the star whose footsteps 6he may some day follow. INCOME TAX CROP DUE FOR BIG YIELD New Form of Levies Will Treble Those in Million Class, Says New Deal. By the Associated Press. The New Deal foresees a bumper crop for milllon-dollar individual in comes if President Roosevelt’s tax program goes through. Figures from the Treasury say the number of persons with incomes of more than $1,000,000 a year will be more than trebled under the new plan. This is because the proposed drastic tax (averaging 33*/3 per cent) on un distributed profits of corporations is expected to lead these concerns to pay out much more of their income in the form of dividends than they have in the past. Thus the wealth that formerly would have been held by the corpora tions would be placed in the hands fo stockholders, where it would be sub ject to Income taxes and surtaxes. The operation would be a shift of wealth from one place to another, not an increase in wealth. Specifically, the Treasury estimates that under the new plan, the number of individual incomes of more than $1,000,000 would be 298 in 1836. Under present law, it is estimated the number wouid be only. Following are Treasury estimates of the number of income tax returns, by Income classes, which would be filed In 1936 under the present law and under the proposed law: Old law.
