District Committee Invites
All Interested in Proposed
Levy to Attend.
MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA
MEMBERS ASK TO SPEAK
Local Organizations Opposing
New Two-Cent Increase
Will Be Heard.

All District organizations, such as
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions, Chamber of Commerce, Board
Of Trade and others interested in the
proposal TO increase the tax on gaso-
line in the District from 2 to 4 cents,
were invited today by the House Dis
trict Committee to appear at a meet
ing next Wednesday.
The hearing was arranged because
Virginia and Maryland members of
Congress had asked to be heard before
the full District Committee on the
Smith bill, proposing the tax increase,
since the subcommittee headed BY
Representative Clark of North Caro-
lima, which had conducted hearings
on the measure, had been unable to
get a quorum together to report the
bill
PalmisanO Fayors Bill.
Acting Chairman Palmisano an
nounced that all organizations in the
District desiring to oppose the tax
increase would be given a hearing.
He declared his own position as in
favor of the legislation in order that
the people of the District would not
be given an advantage over those OF
nearby Maryland and Virginia.
Representative Dirksen, Republican.
OF Illinois, said that unless the addi-
tlonal revenue was needed for street
improvements, or to provide greater
safety for automobile traffic, there
was no justification for increasing the
tax. Representative Ellenbogen, Dem
ocrat, Of Pennsylvania, wanted to
have an amendment to the bill which
would make the revenue available fol
paying the old-age pensions.
Corporation Counsel william W
Bride urged upon the committee that
there should be full hearing on tn
subject in which the people Of the
District could be given full and fai
opportunity to register their wishes
He emphasized the one redeemirc
feature. of the bill is that it would tt
, lieve property owners from asse-
ments for street Improvements
Kansan opposes Increase.
Representative Carpenter, Dem
crat, of Kansas, protested vigorous
against boosting the gas levy and ric
iculed the reason given because som
neighboring State had higher tax
He declared the people Of the Dis
trict should have their interests con-
sidered and that there was no justi-
flcation for increasing the tax unlese
the revenue was needed for local i'm
provements.
Representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas, saw some justification for
the gasoline tax" but expressed a de-
sire that the benefits should go to
home owners, and he recalled the
gasoline tax bill sponsored by the
Mapes Committee several years ago,
which had been rejected by the
I Senate.

U. S. Holdings Large

American investors are the largest

treated at least on a basis OF
equality Of all other investors.
Whether the American private
creditors will be prepared to give
the same concessions as the Brit

In return for the interest pay

not to apply the drastic retaliatory

Parliament and also accepted the
German offer to fund credit in

Before taking any action, the
State Department is awaiting a
reply from Germany to Secretary
Hull's recent sharp note to Berlin
holding Chancellor Adoph Hitler's
policies partly to blame for Ger

exchange with which to meet debt
