Revealing his legislative pro
gram for the District during the
coming session of Congress, Sena'
tor Arthur Capper (RD of Kansas,
ranking minority member Of the
Senate District Committee, today
announced approval of legislation
directed at curbing traffic mishaps
and gambling and increasing the
powers of the Commissioners.
The KanSan, who formally pre-
sided over the committee, also sug-
gested the necessity of providing
more reasonable rentals for low
income families.
Regarding the proposal to pro-
vide more rigid anti-gambling laws
Senator Copeland said:
"Such legislation certainly
will have my vote. If the people
Of Washington could be made
to realize that the small bets on
numbers games and the like
are pouring large sums of money
into the pockets of gangs Of or.
ganized criminals, who will stop
at nothing to prevent competi-
tiOn in their field, there would
be great public demonstration
before Congress in favor Of this
wise legislation"
While endorsing the measure to
broaden the powers of the Com.
missionerS, he qualified this by
saying:
"At the same time, I think
that very careful attention
should be given to any provision
Of the proposed bill that would
tend to limit the present author.

CAPPER'S HELP.
ASKED FOR
MEASURE
Plan Would Speed System
Even If U. S. Law Is Passed,
Senator Says

Senator Royal S. Copeland
(DO, of New York, a member Of
the Senate District Committee,
announced today that he will re-
introduce in the coming session
Of Congress his bill for an old.
age pension system in the Dis
trict.
Last session, both the House
and Senate District Committees
took favorable action on a meas
ure for this purpose, Senator
Copeland being the author of the
Senate bill and Representative
Mary T. Norton DO, of New Jer-
sey, chairman of the House Dis
trict Committee, sponsoring the
proposal approved by her group.
Neither house, however, acted on
the bills.
National Law FOreseen
It is believed likely that q ma
tional old-age pension measure
may be anacted at the coming
session, and in that event, any
District old-age pension law would
have to be modified to conform
to the national law. Senator
Copeland said:
II wish to get a District old
age pension bill before the Sen
ate SO that, if it is decided to
enact q national measure, it will
be necessary only to alter the
District proposal to conform.
WOULD SPEED PLAN
eff the national measure Is
not enacted, then action can be
taken directly on my bill. This
would expedite consideration of
the District measure in either
event."
Senator Copeland said he will
confer with Senator Arthur Cap
per (R.) of Kansas, ranking minor
ity member of the Senate District
Committee, inviting the Kansan to
join him in introducing the bill.
Senator Capper proposed an old
age pension bill for the District
last session, but the committee

D. c. INCOME TAX
OPPOSITION
GROWING
Rep. Randolph Pledges Fight
on Proposed New Levy;
Calls It Unfair

AS members of Congress gath
cred here today, preparatory for
the opening Of the new session to
morrow, opposition to the plan to
foist another income tax on Dis
trict residents grew.
The plan further to tax District
residents has long been advocated
by Senator william H. King CD,
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee.
Such a tax, however, must be or
iginated in the House, and today
Representative Jennings Randolph
CD, of West Virginia, member of
the House District Committee,
voiced vigorous opposition to the
plan.
Calls Levy Unfair
Commenting on the tax situa.
ton here, Representative Ran
dolph said:
ri think the proposal to enact
another income tax for residents
of the District is unwise and un.
fair.
"Such . tax undoubtedly
would work hardships on thou
sands Of Government employees,
as well as others who make their
home here, and I shall do my ut
most to see that a bill Of this
type does not get through the
House.
"If additional revenue is
needed for the District, it seems
to me that a better form Of tax
alton could be enacted"
In proposing the new tax meas
ure, Senator King suggested that
the Intangible personal property
tax be repealed.
Would Shift Burden
Tax experts have pointed out,
however, that such a step would
be extremely unfair, shifting the
NA ACAA Va GcAdCAO44 44OA4 U44C WC4I'
to-do to the lower paid classes.
The move comes at a time
when Congress is violating it's
own law and cutting down on
the amount Of the Federal appro-
priation toward the cost of Dis
trict government.
Under the original law, the
Federal Government was pledged
to pay so per cent of the cost
Of the municipal government. A
few years ago this was changed
to 40 per cent.
Second Cut Made
During this fiscal year, the
Federal appropriation was cut to
a lump sum of $5,70O,O 900, or ap-
proximately 13 per cent.
Civic organizations and citizens
from all walks of life have united
in protesting this move to inflict
further taxes on local residents
who already are staggering under
one of the highest tax rates in
the nation.

MOTOR KLAXONS

keystone Auto Club Calls On
Police To Make An Effort
To Abate Them

"Ear-splitting, nerve-shattering de-
vices masquerading as automobile
horns" are denounced by Albert E.
Buckley, Manager of the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland, in a
statement calling upon police to take
action coward abating this newest
and most obnoxious of highway nuis-
ances."
Mr.. Buckley's reference is to the
adoption by motorists of horns SIM
liar to the blasting apparatus" used
on interstate buses.
''It was bad enough when only buses
used these fearful contrivances," he
said, "but now that drivers of pleas
ure cars-for unfathomable reasons
have added such horns to their equip
ment the situation is one that de-
mands action by the authorities. There
never was any excuse for this equip
ment on buses, except that it blasted
right-of-way for the speeding Jug
gernauts. On the whole, bus operat-
ors used their horns sparingly, if at
all in cities, thereby minimizing the
nuisance. Now, however, playboys
can see nothing amiss in blasting 9TH
er cars and pedestrians out of their
way in cities and towns thus focusing
attention on the misuse of an instru-
ment originally designed to prevent
highway casualties.
"We believe police have ample pow
Ell under Motor Vehicle Law to con-
troll the nuisance. The law specifi-
cally provides that mo person operat-
ing any motor vehicle shall make or
cause to be made any unnecessary
noise or use the same except as a
warning of danger 1t also is pro-
vided that in cities, towns and villages
loud sounding signaling devices shall
not be used during the period from
one hour after sunset to one hour be-
fore sunrise, unless absolutely neces-
sary to avoid accidents
