SISTERS DREAM
COMING TRUE

The dream of two elderly sis
tiers for the founding of an old
ladies' home neared reality today
when a certificate of incorpora-
ton for establishment of the home
was filed with the Recorder of
Deeds.
The sisters were Mathilda, who
died March II, 1881, and Dorothea
w. Holliedt, who died last July /.
Under terms of their wills, they
left a 100000 residue of their es-
tateS for the formation of a cor.
poration to be known as the Ma
thilda and Dorothea w. Holliedt
Home in the 46OO block Thir-
teenth st. N. w.
Provisions of the wills were to
the effect that the home be estab-
lished for INDECENT and needy
women of IS years or over and
that preference of admission be
given members of the Concordia
Lutheran Evangelical Church.

The organizations legislative com,

DOUBLE TAXES,
SALES LEV|ES,
PARLEY TOPIC
State Legislative Groups in
Confab With Experts to
Map Definite Stand

Whether there should be a Fed.
eral sales tax, the widely felt ad-
ministrative problem of deciding
whether both State and Federal
agencies should tax incomes, and
what proportion each should get,
these were the vital issues pre-
Sented today to the Interstate
Committee on Conflicting Taxa
ton, meeting with the American
Legislators Association and the
Council of State Governments at
the Shoreham Hotel.
With Gov. John G.. Winant, OF
New Hampshire, presiding, the
groups of leading State legislators
and experts on taxation were eX.
pected to reach a decision on the
issues late today.
Three Reports Up
The problems were presented,
without recommendations as to
action, in three reports given by
DR.. James w. Martin, research di.
rector of the Interstate Commit
tee on Conflicting Taxation, now
on leave from the University of
Kentucky.
The desirability Of enacting a
Federal sales tax was contained
in one; also a review of the prob
lem of reconciling such legislation
with much already enacted by
States.
Several States now have versions
of a sales tax. The report showed
that a Federal tax might neceSSi-
tate an arrangement with States
whereby there would be a split in
proceeds between the two taxing
bodies.
The second report, dealing with
corporation income taxes, a
method of revenue in several
States, placed the question of
integrating these burdens with
those placed on business by the
Federal Government.
This report and the third, deal
ing in similar fashion with per.
sonal income taxes, discussed the
pro and con arguments on credit
ing income taxes paid States.

NOT AFFECTED
BY PLAN To
HELP AGED
Presidents Social Scheme
Leaves Present Annuity
Systems in Operation

The present system, of retire
ment pensions for Government
employees will be left intact under
the social security plan drafted
for Congressional action at the
direction of President Roosevelt,
it was learned today.
Representative David j. Lewis
CD of Maryland, who intro
duced the security measure in the
House, stated that although the
bill does not include such a pro-
vision at present, it probably will
be included in the final draft
of the legislation.
Protects Railroads
The bill protects the existing
system of railroad pensions,
through special mention, and
this probably will be applied to
all old age pension systems now
operating successfully.
Representative Lewis said:
Provisions covering the pen
sion system of the railroads
were included in the bill, and
represent basic principle
which probably will be followed
in a number of existing old
age pension systems"
Under the Federal retirement
act, three and one-half per cent
is deducted from each Federal pay
check and pensions art granted
to employees who retire from the
service after reaching retirement
age. In the event an employe
leaves the Government service be-
fore reaching that age, the money
deducted from pay checks is re.
funded.
Applies to d. C.
Representative Lewis stated ap-
plication of the unemployment in
surance phase of the bill to Fed.
eral employees has not been
definitely decided. He said:
"This question must be
threshed out in hearings on the
bill"
The bill places the District Gov.
ernment in the category of a State
and any provision which bears on
the Federal service, will, in like
manner, apply to the local govern
ment.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman has been instructed by
the District Commissioners to
make a complete study of the
Presidents plan and to draft such
legislation as may be needed to
bring the District in line with the
proposal.

ASKS
SCHOOL FUND
RESTORED
Senator FaVors Continuance
Character Education
Program Here

Despite the action of the House
yesterday in rejecting the item in
the District budget for continu.
ing the character education pro-
gram in the District schools, hope
was held today that funds for this
purpose will be made available by
Congress.
Supporters of the plan are look.
ing to the Senate Appropriations
Committee, and especially Senator
Royal S. Copeland CDD, of New
York, a member of that commit.
tee, to fight for reinstatement of
the item.
Senator Copeland, who led the
fight last year to have the appro-
priation for this purpose made,
said today that he will give special
attention to the matter when the
bill is before the Senate District
Appropriations subcommittee. He
said:
"In the study which our SEN
ate committee made Of crime,
it was revealed that juvenile de-
linquency is increasing yearly.
OF course, the best place to
better conditions of this sort is
in the home, but we have no
way to get into the home. There
fore, we have to go to the
schools,
"When the item was put in
the bill last year, / said then it
was only an experiment. How
ever, I do not feel that from
the beginning of the school
year - September until now
there has been sufficient time
for the program to be tested.
II do not intend to be arbi-
trary about the matter, but do
certainly intend to question the
heads of the local education de-
partment to get their views as
to whether this program has
proved of value.
''If I find that it has, I shall
make every effort to have the
item carried in the pending ap-
preparation bill"
