What Invalid Needs

ciples of dietetics under normal con-
ditions. The invalid needs starches

weight loss that attends illness can
be avoided by giving carbohydrates

PUSH FIGHT
ON NEW TAX
Council Takes Stand on Plan
Of Senator King to Impose
Special income Revenue

Further support in the drive
to prevent the imposition of an
additional income tax on resi-
dents of the District was voted
today by the National Legislative
Council of Federal Employe Or
CARNATIONS.
Such a tax, proposed by Sena-
tor William H. King CD of Utah,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, would be without
justice or merit" the council de-
clared after making a study of
the tax situation in the District.
Business to Fight
Business and civic leaders of
the District are organizing a COM
mittee to lead the fight against
this tax measure If it should be
taken up at this session of Con-
gresS.
In view of President Roosevelt's
stand, as revealed in his budget
message yesterday, that there be
no additional or increased taxes
at this time, it was believed no
effort will be made to put through
this measure.
Citizens of the District however,
alarmed by the move, are prepared
to wage vigorous battle if the
move should be made.
Underpaid, Overtaxed
Authorities on questions of taxa
ton have asserted that such an
income tax would constitute dupli-
cation of taxation, since District
residents already pay the normal
Federal income tax.
In voicing opposition to the
proposed tax measure, the Ma
tional Legislative Council de-
clared:
Federal employees here al
ready are underpaid and over
taxed. The proposal to force
these workers to bear an addi.
tiOnal levy on their meager in
comes is utterly without justice
or merit, and the National Legis-
lative Council takes a position
in vigorous opposition to the i'm
position of such a tax.
"The National L legislative
Council also wishes to take this
opportunity of thanking and
cOngratulating The Washington
Times upon its fortnight and
aggressive campaign against the
additional income tax"

at the Treasury Department does
not play golf. Nor does he swim
or hike or fish on his days off.
For pacing back and forth on a
concrete and steel floor from 8
a. m. until 4:30 p. m. puts a man
in a mood only for sedentary
recreation.
The nongolfer is A. T. Quinn,
35, of Fort Myers Heights, Va,
and his job is guarding the newly
completed storerooms for Uncle
Sans legal tender in the Treasury
Department. He explains:
Golf may be o. X. for some
people, but I've never tried it
and have no desire to. 1 like

Ruined Also by Budget
Slash for Schools

Serious results from the cur
tailment of school personnel pro-
vided in the 1885 estimates were
intimated today as DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of District
schools, prepared report on the
effect of the Budget Bureau rec
ommendation for appropriations
for the next fiscal year.
Virtually all items for increased
personnel in the local schools, re-
quested by school officials in their
own estimates, were cut down in
the budget figures which went to
Congress yesterday.
Teacher Shortage Seen
The school officials recon-
mendation for some $50 addi-
tional teachers was cut almost
in half. with the result that
there will be a shortage of teach
ers in some schools, it was
pointed out.
In the Budget Bureau estimates
for 1886, the public school system
is allowed $l1,392,150, as COM
pared with $14.117,911 requested
by the school officials.
Building Hardest Hit
The largest cut is seen in the
estimates for construction of
new buildings. The school heads
asked $2,985, 900 for this purpose,
including, also, funds for the
purchase of sites on Which future
schools may be erected.
In sending the estimates to
Congress, the Budget Bureau al
lowed only $775,O0O for this pur-
pose, with no allotment for the
purchase of land.

PASSAGE.
SEEN ALMOST
CERTAIN
Nevadan Plans ParIey With
Senator BuIoW; BabcoCk,
Steward Heartened

Proponents of complete Govern
ment pay restoration effective
January /, undaunted by the
failure of the President to en-
courage them in his budget mes
sage, today put on full steam
ahead in their efforts to get
action on their proposal.
Senator Pat McCarran CD of
Nevada, who introduced in the
Senate yesterday the bill calling
for immediate full pay, said today
that he will confer as soon as pos
sible with Senator John Bulow
CDD of South Dakota, chairman
of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, to which the bill was re-
ferred, with a view to getting
action from that group.
Sees Victory Ahead
The Nevadan declared that de-
spite the language of the budget
message on the subject, he feels
1T is a matter of justice that the
pay cut be eliminated immedi-
ately" and added:
Il think we have a good
chance for passage of restOra-
tiOn legislation, from all that
can learn"
Meanwhile, E. Claude Babcock,
speaking for the American
Federation of Government En-
ployes, expressed the view that
"altogether we got quite a lot
out of the budget"
He said he was not surprised
at the Presidents language con-
corning immediate pay restora-
ton. but declared:
"We are not going to stop
our efforts to get full pay
at ALL"
Sees Acknowledgment
Mr.. Babcock was exceedingly
pleased with the recommenda-
tionS that $20,O00,00O additional
be appropriated for the Civil
Service retirement fund. He
said:
"That is not as much as
should be purOvided, but it is
an acknowledgment on the
part of the Government of its
obligation. We hope that by
next year adequate sums will
be provided. The President
shows that he wants to put the
fund in solvent condition"
The A. F. G. E. head was ex-
ceedingly gratified over the rec
concentrations that the prohibit
ton on payment of reallocationS
in the Government be removed.
He said that elimination of this
provision of the economy act has
been "one of our major objec-
tiVeS.'

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 26.-
etenographers are more sentimental
than housewives and they "emote'
more rapidly than actresses.
Such were the findings Of Prof. Jus
tin w. Briefly, Columbia University
psychologist, on q research visit to
Metro o-Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
Using Una Merkle. actress; Ann
Roberts, the housewife, and Marion
Horton, secretary, as subjects. the
professor took minute measurements
of heart action, respiration, blood
pressure and other emotional reac-
tions, and then compared them.
He found the housewives life is full
of incidents which provide emotional
outlets, hence her reactions are the
same. The stenographer, however,
attention sharpened by close appli-
cation to of1ice duties and without
emotional outlets, he said, is most
sensitive to impulses. The actress is
less emotional except while acting.
