GAS STAXFOUGHT.
BY NEW GROUP

A new national association has
been born-to be added to the
long list of national associations
in Washington.
This is the National Associa-
tion Against Excessive Gasoline
Taxation-with headquarters in
the District National Bank Build
ing.
The purpose of the new asso-
citation is to oppose increases in
gasoline taxation by the states
or Federal Government.
It is pointed out that the
three-cent stamp is liable to give
way soon to the two-cent stamp
and that the bank check tax is
about to 60 out the teller's win
dow.
So-what about that emer-
gency tax of one-cent gallon on
gas? And isn't gas more of a
necessity than a luxury?
The new association intends to
answer that question.

ton of your courtesy" from
Manchester who voluntarily
gave himself up to Boston au-

public funds.

KEEP RESERVES,
Y'SHOPE

The Navy Department is trying
to find some way to place 1900
hospital aides who otherwise
would be dropped under the econ
omy program, and to maintain a
Naval Reserve Air Force in the
face of a $56,000,000 cut pre-
scribed for the department.
More than $500 members of
the medical personnel of the Bu-
reau of Medicine and Surgery are
faced with the prospect of job
lessness on July /, due to the re-
duction in the number Of pa
tients Of the Veterans Admins
tration in naval hospitals. The
dismissals would include 180 Of
ficers, 1881 enlisted men, and so
women nurses.
It is hoped to transfer the
group to the new civilian refor-
estation conservation corps.
AS for the flying reserve, the
Navy hopes to maintain it, even
if it is necessary to stagger &C
tivities of the regular flying SER
vice to do so.

Damage to the home of William
R. King, $500 block Eastern Ave.

from four fire companies because
of distance of the house from fire
plugs, today was estimated at
$4,000.
The firemen laid 4,SOO feet of
hose in abuot 10 minutes to OBJ
tain water to battle the flames.
Mr.. Kings son, William M.

Two well-dressed hold-up men,
each of whom had pistols, es-
capped in an automobile early
today after robbing Fred E. Hob
son, night clerk at the All-States
Hotel, on Nineteenth st. N. w.
Hobson said the men forced
their way into the office and
took two metal boxes. One con-
tanned $75 belonging to the ho-

Two men answering general

were arrested by Third precinct
police near the robbery scene,
but the clerk failed to identify
them and they were released.
A burglar escaped the clutches

Stage Becomes Workroom
For Cooking School

With only two more days left
until the opening of The Wash
ington Times Cooking and Home
Making School, preparations are
being rushed to make this festi-
val of household science the most
successful in the memory Of
Washington housewives.
The stage of the Tivoli Theater
:. being transformed into a prac-
tical workroom for Miss Mar
garet King, of the DeBoth Home
Makers Schools, with all equip
ment necessary for a model kit
chen, a model laundry, and that
center of all true family life, the
dining room.
Long before the doors are
thrown open at 9 o'clock Tuesday
morning, Miss King will view with
pride her modern kitchen, with
stoves, refrigerators, cabinets and
other pieces of attractive equip
ment and appliances, which will
not only add to the ease of her
work, but will also provide the
l-ight, CHEEKY background which
she finds the best inspiration for
her demonstrations.
An up-to-minute laundry will
occupy one side Of the stage and
serve as BACKGROUND for the daily
discussion of hou-ehold laundry
problems. 'For this" says Miss
King, "is not merely a cooking
demonstration, it is a home max
ing school which gives thought
to many phases Of the housewives
problems.
Much thought has been given,

CHERRY BLOOM

Easter visitors are doomed to
disappointment so far as seeing
Washington's famed cherry bios
som display, public park officials
reluctantly admitted today.
Few petals still cling to the
trees fringing the Tidal Basin, and
these will have dwindled still
further by tomorrow. Elsewhere
in Washington, however, fragrant
and colorful clowers are blooming
in spring profusion, including
forsythia, pansies, jonquils mag
nolia trees and an occasional late.

and rightly, to kitchen equip
ment and arrangement, but we
must give equal thought to the
laundry-another one of those
household departments which can
consume far too much of a wo-
mans time and energy. We aim,
through our school, to show how
it is .,oSsi0le to save on both

CUTS IN BUDGET
7 0 Be OFFSET
NEW UNITS
SIashes in Payroll Inevitable
But New Organizations May
! Provide Some Relief

Federal employees, anxiously
watching the progress Of govern
mental reorganization to date
and scanning the future pros
poets as they now appear, are be-
ginning to hope that, while prob
ably thousands of employees will
be displaced, many Of them will
find new jobs In the emergency
organizations that must be built
up to get the nation past the
economic crisis.
> Thus far, it appears that in
addition to the 8 1-3 per cent cut
under last years budget provided
when the new estimates were sub
mitted for the Federal establish
ment, close to $1,000, 100000 will
be slashed, in further cuts.
d. G. Slash Surprise
A foretaste of what is coming
was afforded by the District bud
get bill which was Slashed $11,-
100000 from former figures. At
most, q cut Of 100000 had
been looked for.
Then came word that the Post
Office Department, Commerce De-
partment, Interior Department
and Department Of Agriculture
would have to give up large slices
OF the appropriations they had
expected.
Too Much For Farley
Apparently the savings of $125,-
100000 originally given as the
Post Office quota cannot be made.
for later indications are that this
figure will be reduced to $75,000,-
600.
It has already begun, in fact,
at the Veterans Administration,
where a cleaning out in personnel
is under way. The same thing
Is true at the Department of
Justice, where several hundred"
employees will go by the board.
In the Interstate Commerce
Commission, certain divisions, &C.
cording to present indications,
face the prospect of complete
abolishment.
Big Fellows Hit
Further indications of the vigor
with which the Administration is
attacking the budget problem ap-
pear in the fact that certain
high-priced officers of Uncle Sam,
whose salaries were slashed to
$4,000 or even lower figures by
the first economy bill, will not
be exempted from the IS per
cent cut Of the new one.
However, emergency organiZa-
&ions- are already beginning to
gprout up. The Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, Of course, is
looked upon as a temporary or
ganization, but is has some very
hlgh-priced help, and plenty Of it.
That unit is growing right along.
The same Is true Of the Crop
Production units, which are wax
ing fat as the older bureaus are
trimmed down. The catch is that
the employees in these organiza-
lions are theoretically, at least,
temporary, and that they are not
under the Civil Service,
