Grace Moore Guest.at Din
ner Attendance by Secre
tary Hull and Others.
Grace Moore’s "home folks" paid
tribute to her "beautiful voice and
womanly qualities" at a gala dinner at
the Mayflower Hotel last night.
Inspiring an eloquent flow of South
ern oratory, the popular singer was
honored by the Tennessee State Soci
ety of Washington at a gathering of
approximately 1,000 fellow Tennes
seeans. including the Secretary of State
and Mrs. Cordell Hull and Speaker of
the House and Mrs. Joseph Byrns.
Out of the evening Miss Moore, a
native of Jellico, Tenn., won a life
membership in the State Society, and
Senator McKellar of Tennessee, who
presented the membership, the title of
"the oldest ineligible bachelor in the
United States.”
Pride of Native State.
"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. Senator Bachman of Ten
nessee, praised Miss Moore for her
"wonderful personality and gracious
and beautiful self."
The guest of honor, acknowledging
the "warmth and good cheer" of her
friends, declared, "It is good to be with
homefolks!"
Expresses Happiness.
"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.

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. New law.
$10,000-125,000 _ 164,000 176,000
$25,000-$50,000 .... 40,350 55,583
$50,000-8100,000 ... 13,544 17,261
$100,000-8150,000 ... 2,103 4,979
$150,000-8300,000 ... 1,398 2,103
$300,000-$500,000 ... 375 1,161
$500,000-81,000,000 .. 212 612
Over $1,000,000 __ 86 298
It Is the white Winter coat of the
ermine that is so highly prized.
