son. He appeared in the fourth re-
cital in the series sponsored by the
District of Columbia Chapter of the
American Guild of Organists. Mr..
Johnson is a very able musician and
also has artistic feeling for the true
atmosphere of each composition. He
presented modern organ works last
night, and more of them was par.
ticularly starting either in content or
form, but all were interesting and
several were quite out of the ordinary.
Three English composers were rep.
resented on this program, Solemn
Melody" by III. Walford Davis. opened
the recital, and very impressive
Lament, After Roll Call in Elan
ders." by Cyril Jenkins. was given
later. The choral fantasia on the
hymn tune "Heinlein,' by James r.
Wallace. was very interesting from
a composition point of view.
One of the loveliest numbers was
Vintage" from Les Heures Bour-
guignonnes, by the French com
pUSGIs deotSNS JdCth. ioctdld, w
Augustin Barrie. another French com
poser. closing the program, was
brilliant piece of writing. The Sec
ond Sonata" written by the Italian
composer. NJ. L. Bossi, who died
couple of years ago when en- route
home from this country, had a sec
ond movement that was exquisite in
it's complete serenity of mood.
Perhaps the 'showiest" work was
the "Tumult in the Praetorium" from
symphonic de la Passion by the
Belgian, Paul de Maleingreau. It
was not unlike the famous storm"
in type and seemed to arouse keen
interest in the audience.
The one American work was Song
of the Exiles." from the suite. Evan
geline," written by Charles .. Banks.
This work stood out distinctly with
American character and themes. The
lyric quality, as suggested in the title.
is emphasized and the listener has the
at times of hearing a faint
chorus of pilgrim voices in chant
like hymn effect.
The one composer on the program
whose name is very familiar on local
organ programs. Siegfried karg. Ebert.
a German. was represented by Aria
SerioSa," an authentic and descriptive
work, holding throughout to the mood
suggested in the title.

OPPOSITION GROWS
TO GAS TAX RAISE
Traffic Committee of Board
of Trade Protests Pro-
posed Increase.

The traffic committee of the Wash
ington Board of Trade late yesterday
added it's voice to the growing opposi
tion here to the proposed increase IN
the gasoline tax, when it voted unani
mously against any increase in the
tax in the District of Columbia.
The action was taken at a special
meeting of the traffic committee. which
was called at the offices of the Board
of Trade in The Star Building by
George w. Offutt, chairman, following
recommendation for an increase of a
cent and a half in the gasoline tax.
which recently was made to the Dis
trict Commissioners by Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner Whitehurst.
Pecsonai Property Fund.
The traffic committee incorporated
in resolution opposing the higher tax
the suggestion that if additional funds
are needed for local street maintenance
and construction. the revenue derived
from the personal property tax on au-
tomobiles be diverted to the revolving
street fund for maintenance and con
struction.
1t also was suggested that additional
revenue might be derived from the
present personal property tax on auto
mobile owners by imposing more eff
-
to assure full collection of this tax.
The traffic committee. in its resolu.
ton, proposed that. as a prerequisite
to issuance of an automobile license.
automobile owners be required to pre-
sent to proper District authorities a
tax receipt indicating payment of the
personal property tax on automobiles
or the presentation of evidence that
the car had been purchased subse-
quent to the date on which the tax
payment was due.
Numbers Eyade Payment.
Traffic Director NJ o. Eldridge. who
is an ex-officio member of the traffic
committee of the Board of Trade. told
the committee that numbers of au-
fomobile owners now evade payment
of this property tax by giving wrong
addresses. The resolution opposing
the tax boost and suggesting diversion
of the automobile property tax to
street purposes, If needed was adopt
ed on motion by Theodore r. Moves,
vice chairman of the committee
The action Of the traffic committee
Is TO be reported to the next meeting
OF the Board of Trade. when further

Histories Unfair to
Indians, They Claim

Chicago, Dec. 1.-(AP)-Indians
in full paint and regalia took the
warpath today against "pale face
propaganda" in American history
textbooks. They had resolution
for presentation to Mayor Thomp-
son, asking that the American In
dian be given his proper place in
school histories.
The Indians believe the books put
an unfair Interpretation upon Gus
ter's last stand, and they pointed out
that little is said in the histories of
the battle of Wounded Knee, in
which many Indians, men, women
and children, were massacred by the
soldiers. Custer, according to the
Indians, fired the shot that started
the trouble.
Scalping of victims, it was pointed
out, was not of Indian origin. 1t
was a practice learned from carly
whites who demanded proof that
their enemies had been killed. "Par-
simonious Pilgrims" the letter to
the mayor said, paid bounties on
scalps only il both ears were at
tachcd.
