sets, which provides for an ap.
preparation Of $4,000 to permit
the Secretary of War to make a
survey preparatory to the en-
largement Of Arlington National
Cemetery.
Smith, who represents Arling-

IS located, said he would study
y bill and then be governed in
stand by the wishes Of his
constituents.
Under the Luce bill only the
survey is projected, but the un-
derlying motive is taking over
the vast acreage now occupied
by the experimental farm and
which is adjacent to the burial
ground.
Smith believes the Govern
ment will have to purchase addi-
tional land in Arlington county
for its experimental station If
the present quarters are taken
over by the cemetery.

CITIZENS FLOCK
To SUPPORT Of
SALES TAX

..While Congress continues t.
wrangle over the proposed in
come taxes, citizens voice theil
opposition to such levies anc
swell the demand for a sales ta1
instead.
Everywhere the income tax Law
Is viewed as obsolete, with
enough loopholes for the rich tt
leap through like circus dogs
while the people of average
means are anchored by the bur
denSome assessments.
Some opinions as to tax prefer
enceS follow:
Raymond Neudecker, attorney
There is no doubt that the
sales tax plan is fairer to
everybody concerned.
"The way the income tax
works now it is frequently
necessary for one to borrow
money to meet payments to the
Government when they come
due.
"Recent disclosures have
proved that the very rich do
not pay any tax at all under
the income law, while others
are constantly required to pay
more.
"The man who can afford to
buy usually can afford to pay
0 sales tax. And when a man
makes some money he or some
one is going to spend it event
ually. When they do the tax
will be paid"
Printers Opinion
Gilbert Leak, printers repre-
sentative:
ut appears to be that a sales
tax would cost the average
man more, possibly, than his in
come tax now amounts to.
However, 1 had rather pay a
little more in sales tax, with a
few cents being paid out at a
time, than to have the income
tax increased. The sales tax
should be substituted for in
come tax on salaries up to
S5,OOO."
Mortimer Lonyay, attorney:
"Of course favor a sales
tax instead of increase in the
income levies.
"The burden of taxation late
" has been just where it
should not be, and has been
impeding business recovery. A
more equitable tax distribution
would benefit the whole coun-
try"
John Paul Jones, member o!
The bar:
II am in favor of increased
income taxes, with all incomes
up to $4,000 exempted. That
is the way it is worked in H0l.
land, and is is the most equit:
able method.
'Under this plan there would
be no exemptions, SO that taxes
could not be avoided, as they
are in this country at the
present time"

30 DRY AGENTS
D. c. s QUOTA

Slashed to fraction of their
former numbers, dry agents
working the District of Columbia,
Maryland and Virginia territory
will have their headquarters here,
Attorney General Cummings has
announced.
With the removal of headquar-
ters from Richmond to Washing
ton, the force for this section of
the country will be cut from 10
to so men, it was said.
This minimized force will COM
bat only major offenders, it was
learned, and the small timers will
operate almost unhampered.
William E. Dunnigan, famous
for his exploits in breaking up
big time" racketeering through
out the country, will head the
force for this section, Cummings
said.
The shakeup here resulted from
the nationwide curtailment for
prohibition forces. The national
force has been cut from 1900 to
slightly more than 1000 men.

NRANOTNEEDED
FOR BEER SALE

The District Commissioners to-
day informed the Hotel and Res
taurant Employees Alliance, Local
781, that they are legally unable
to comply with it's suggestion
that they refuse to issue beer
licenses to dealers who do not
display the insignia Of the NRA.
The suggestion that such
dealers be denied licenses and
that the license of any dealer
losing his Blue Eagle be revoked
was contained in a letter to the
Commissioned from Charles E.
Sands, secretary of the local.
The Commissioners were in
formed by Vernon E. West,
c airman of the Beverage Permit
Board, that the law makes no
provision which would authorize
the Commissioners to carry out
Sands suggestion.

BRIDE FAMILY !
FOUND SAFE

Corporation Counsel William

desk in the District Building from
Bethany Beach, Del, where he
went Wednesday to aid his storm
bound family.
Mr.. Bride reports heavy storm
damage in the section through
which he passed. He had to drive
IS miles out of the way to avoid
flooded highways. and once mar
rowly escaped driving into a tor
rent ~ feet deep.
The Corporation Counsel found
his family safe, about mile and
a half from their beach home,
huddled with dozen other per-
sons in single room.
Late yesterday, however, the
waters subsided and the family
moved back to their summer
home on the beach, which they
found only slightly damaged.

A public appeal to save the
"nation's rich past" was issued
today by the Smithsonian 1nStl-
tuition, which pointed out that
"rrave robbers" are running
archaeological sites.
Accumulated evidence is being
received by the institution that
socalled pot hunters" especially
IN the South and Southwest, are
"ruthlessly looting Indian graves
and village sites, some OF which
date from long before the dis.
covery of America by Columbus.
The pot hunters, according TO
the institution, take skulls from
these graves which they happen
upon, and offer them for sale to
tourists for a few dollars. Tour
lists buy them, it is explained, for
ash trays, mantel decorations. or
souvenirs, feeling some sort OF
thrill from the possession OF an
object of the distant past.
Neil M. Judd, curator of Amer
lean archaeology of the United
States National Museum, points
out, however, that the material
collected by the pot hunters is
worthless to science and has no
meaning unless there are exact
and highly technical data as to its
location and a considerable COL
lection of carefully identified ma
terial from the same site, Mr..
Judd added:
"Since the materials in Cali

Rocking, Cuddling Babies
O. K. With Hospital Head

Miss Gibson has found the
Children's Country Home and
Christ Child Society Home, where
convalescent babies are sent from
the hospital, a great aid in settling
the little ones on the road back to
health. Too often, she found, the
convalescent baby, sent home to
a busy mother, suffered from lack
of the petting it needed to COM
plete its recovery. Now the two
homes take care of from 40 to SO
babies each for the hospital. And
the little ones thrive on the crock
'em and love 'em" program.
Miss Gibson's theories are con.
fined by a Johns Hopkins pedetri-
clan who recently published a
book defending the rocking chair
method" of bringing up babies.

Resteth Upon
Dry Land

History repeats itself-for with
the passing of the flood and the
subsiding of the waters, the Ark
has come to rest on land.
But in this case the skipper is
facing arrest by Park Police.
The day the storm broke, Capt.
P. J. Carroll lost a drive to rid
the Potomac along the Mount Yer
non Highway of "Arks" where,
he said, liquor was being sold.
The ARK" he wanted most to
get rid of was anchored off shore
and it's owner claimed immunity.
Carroll was forced to content
himself with arresting customers.
Then came the storm. Today
when Capt. Carroll visited the
spot, he found the gale had
thrown the Ark figuratively into
his lap. The boat was high and
dry on shore.

PLEA FOR FUNDS

Public Works Head Says Need
Greater Elsewhere; Capital
Asks $25,O00,000

The Districts building program
for which the Commissioners
hoped to obtain some $25,000,000
from the Public Works Admins
tration is doomed.
This has been revealed by Sec
retory of Interior Harold L.
Ickes, who is also Public Works
Administrator, in an admission
he personally opposes construc-
ton of any public buildings here
with Public Works money.
He bases his stand on the
fact that Washington has already
greatly benefited" by the Federal
building program and is nowhere
near as badly in need of public
buildings as other cities.
Program Doomed
His attitude is believed to ring
a death knel to the elaborate
public works program of the
Commissioners since it lies within
his power to shelve any project
however strongly it be recon-
mended by subcommittee of the
Public Works Board.
Asked if he meant the $4,900,-
900 Municipal Center project has
no chance of winning the boards
approval, he said:
"NO. We still have our sub
committees recO mmendatiOn,
but 1 don't see whe, we can
consider it, at least not now.
The District of Columbia has
had enough public buildings
for a while"
His stand comes out of a clear
sky, members of the board al
ready having evinced considerable
sympathy for the Municipal Cen
ter and having predicted it's early
passage. Their chiefs firm stand
against it, however, consigns the
project to oblivion, they believe.

Complete Working Plan
To Effect Economy

Details of the agreement be-

and Commerce for cooperation in
the field service, which will make
possible a considerable reduction
in expense for the Government,
were announced today by the de-
partments jointly.
The agreement provides that
all instructions from the Secre-
tary of Commerce to field officers
of the department shall be trans
mitted through the Secretary of
State and that the same routing
will be followed in reports from
the field to the Secretary of Com
merce.
Weekly conferences will be held
by the chiefs of American mis-
sions abroad to prevent duplica-
ton of activities. Consular Off
GERS of the Department of State
will assist commercial attaches by
providing information on eco
nomic conditions and foreign
trade.
Henceforth inquiries from
American exporters on the pro-
lection and promotion of foreign
trade will be answered by the
consular service.
The Department of Commerce,
in line with policies indicated by
Secretary Roper some time ago,
plans to eliminate special services
to individuals who wish to eX-
tend their foreign trade. Ameri-
can exporter are now thought to
be sufficiently familiar with for
eign trade to get their fair share
without individual help from the
Government.

Babies are rocked at the Chill
dren's Hospital.
The modern theory that cud-
ding is bad for infants-leave 'em
alone and let 'em cry-is frowned
upon by Miss Matte Gibson,
superintendent of the hospital.
Miss Gibson believes in petting
and even rocking for babies.
Rocking chairs are a part of the
furnishings of each ward and
nurses are instructed to give each
little patient it's daily dose of
"bye-bye." Miss Gibson tells her
nurses:
"Pick them up. Pet them and
rock them to Sleep"
According to Miss Gibson,
babies, especially convalescent
babies, need "mothering." They
need old-fashioned petting.

Better Business to Examine
Complaints Received
Against Employers

Cooperation of the washington
Better Business Bureau in han
ding complaints against employ
ers operating falsely under the
Blue Eagle has been promised to
local NRA officials by Louis Roth
schild, head of the bureau, it was
learned today.
A file of such complaints has
been started in the Washington
NRA headquarters, in the Board
of Trade offices, it was revealed
at a meeting of officials. Action
upon the complaints is being held
up pending the formation of plans
between the State Recovery Board
for the District of Columbia, head
ed by Ben Prince, and the local
NRA Committee, of which Thomas
P. Littlepage is in charge
Drive Nears Success
NRA development locally today
included the announcement that
95 per cent of Washington busi-
ness houses are now flying he
blue eagle, that 30 civic organl-
cations have joined the drive, ard
that the renovize campaign prob
ably will be linked with it, so far
as the cooperation of consumers
is concerned.
It also was revealed that the
tree to be transplanted from
Mount Vernon, as a feature of
National Recovery Day, will be
placed on the Ellipse with the
first spadeful of earth laid by
Eleanor Washington Howard, che
last member of the Washington
family to be born at Mount
! Vernon.
Tree Leads Program
Planting Of the tree will open
the exercises next Tuesday at the
reviewing stand, on Constitution
Avenue between Fifteenth and Six
teenth Streets Northwest.
Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries esti
mates that the parade will be be.
tween two and three hours in
length. The exercises at the re-
viewing stand will include an ad-
dress by Brig. Gen. Hugh S. John
son, numbers by the Army Band,
and finally the start of the great
parade, at about $50 p. m.
The plan to link the campaign
among consumers with the reno
vize movement would mean that
houSe-to-house canvassers will sug-
geSt that housewives have needed
repairs made at this time. Already
about 1000 families have signed
consumers pledges.
Radio Aids Drive
All the radio stations in the
city are cooperating in the NRA
campaign, and the theaters are
showing special NRA short sub
jects.
AS soon as the constructive
work of the campaign is COM
pleted, with business houses and
consumers enlisted under the
NRA banner, plans will be an
nounced for checking up on vio-
lations of the code.
