GAS TAX DIVERSION
is URGED BY ALLEN
Proposal for Increase ir
D. C. Levy Also Being
Considered.
BY DON S. WARREN.

Diversion of the Districts gasoline
tax revenues to general revenue pur-
poses was proposed today by Com
missioner George E. Allen as the
Commissioners resumed study of sug-
gested revision Of the tax system.
Allen also is considering proposal
for increased gasoline taxes, it was
learned.
The Commissioners discussion
looks toward congressional hearings
next Winter. when there will be a
general review of the subject by Dis
trict and congressional leaders prior
to the opening Of Congress. Need for
funds for financing the pending Dis
trict social security program instigated
the study. Aliens ideas, however. are
understood to go beyond that problem.
The Commissioners today designated
Corporation Counsel Prettyman per-
manent chairman of their Municipal
Revenues Committee, assigned to the
task of submitting recommendations
on additional taxes needed to cover
the cost of the proposed social security
program.
Peoples Counsel William A Roberts
was added to the committee men,
bership. The others are District
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan, Tax AS
SCISSOR William P. Richards, Public
Utilities Commissioner Richmond B.
Keech and Director of Highways H.
c. Whitehurst.
Allen believes the theory of special
taxes for special purposes to be in
correct, and in the proposal he is
considering sending to Congress for
an increase in the Districts gasoline
tax. the resulting revenues would be
drawn on for purposes other than
merely highway Improvements.
States Theory of Change.
This idea has not yet been crystal
lized into any definite announcement
as to the Commissioners purposes.
but he stated today clearly the theory
of the suggested change.
The proceeds from no special tax
should be earmarked for any special
purpose" Allen declared The pro-
ceeds from all forms of taxation
should go into the general fund for
the financing of all city operations -
This proposes a radical departure
from practices established in the past
in the District. where gasoline tax
revenues have been spent only for
highway improvements, including
bridges.
Seen Trial Balloon"
Aliens statement amounts to some
thing of trial balloon" but he said
he was convinced as to the theory.
Up to the present time, Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen is not In ac-
cord with this view. Hazen has dis
cussed informally the question of the
need of broadening the use of gasoline
tax revenues, but only so far as to
Government activities pertaining to
highways and their use.
Commissioner Allen has not made
any statement as yet as to what
Government activities he would turn
funds drawn from the gasoline tax
revenues Back of this discussion is
the old proposal for adding an extra
2 cents to the Districts gasoline tax,
which was vigorously opposed by
many civic groups when proposed sew
eral years ago as one of the bills
sponsored by the Mapes Committee
of the House.

history was an ideal subject al
of pen or brush, except the few
After nine years at the convent,
Miss Rabino returned to London,
where her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Rabino, made their home.
Then, later, she took up poster
work and studied at the WeStmin-
ster Art School, in London. 1t was
while having miniatures made of
her parents that she learned that
they usually we're painted over
photographs on ivory. If others
could do this, why couldn't she?
And with this question in her
mind, Miss Rabino tucked away
her poSter-painting paraphernalia
and turned to tinting worries.
Met PatterSOnS
Then the coloring of pictures
became boring and the English
girl abandoned the photograph
idea and commenced just paint
ing from life. Her work, which is
really a hobby and, sadly enough,
put aside when other things come
up, is excellent and the likeneSses
perfect. In London, she came to
know the PattersonS.
One day she made miniature
of Senorita Olga, pretty sister OF
the bride-elect. Even under a
merciless magnifying glass, each
golden hair can be seen and the
pale green gown CLEANS like real
satin. This was her first contribu-
tion to the Paris Salon in 1929.
Each year since then she has sent
at least one bit of her work.
Quite Musical
Miss Rabino has talent as well
as interest in other phases of art.
She is extremely musical, and
while in Prussia learned to play
the balalaika, the triangular,
three-stringed Russian instrument.
Then, too, she plays the steel
guitar.
Shortly after Senor Patterson
came to this city to represent his
country, his elder daughter in
vited Miss Rabino to come over
and Join them. Not all of her
time has been spent in Washing
ton merely following the path
leading from one gay party to
another-she has taken little trips
here and there to places that have
sounded interesting. Having been
completely charmed by Maine and
its rocky coasts and rough blus-
tering weather, the artist is now
making plans for a trip to Flor
ida, and it's golden winter.
CHEEKY Room
The room in the Embassy where
Miss Rabino does her painting is
a bright, CHEEKY place with dainty,
flowered chintz framing the long
windows. Here and there are tiny
potted plants and vines. In one
corner there is an impish little
'tleprechaun," slyly grinning. This
wee carrier Of good luck was given
to Miss Rabino by an Irish friend
on the eve of her departure for
this country. The room seems
filled with people, for from tables
and the desk, bright faces smile
out from the ivorieS, almost about
to speak, so real are they.

hours and now is doing quite
nicely.
1t was at Imogen Ficklen s
party that the startling news
was learned. While everyone
was exclaiming about the sud-
denness of it all, twinkling-
eyed Dickie Cannon casually
announced that she had gone
through the same experience
just exactly two weeks ago.
Now, she is out, going places
and looking as fit as two fid-
dies.
Blond Mrs. Walter Watson
was looking very smart in a
black velvet suit which fast
ened with silk braid frogs.
Her hat, one of those high
crowned affairs, was trimmed
with cog feathers. Another at
tractive young matron we saw
that same day was Mrs. Win
ton Elliott-who still seems
Mildred English to us-she
was a symphony in brown
from the tip of her velvet hat
to the toes of her trim pumps.
The Elliotts are now at home
in their apartment at the On
tario. One can learn a good
bit of geography from either
of them, as they recently
motored all around the coun-
tryside, way down South to
warmer climes, cotton fields
and mint juleps-and out
through the West, in the land
of literature, small towns and
huge sprawling farms.

Another new coiffure now
seen about town is that grac-
ing the head of Cecilia Talbot.
She used, as we all know, to
wear her curls simply and
softly arranged; now she has
daring bangs that curl out IN
a perky manner and are vastly
becoming.
Virginia Mackey and Helen
Wilcox, who have taken up
housekeeping together, are per
feet foils for one another. Vlr-
ginia is blond and has the
most infectious laughter-a
very energetic person going
her own gay social way and
still taking her position seri-
ously and doing it we'll. Helen,
who recently arrived from
Santa Barbara and is studying
art in her spare time, is a soft
voiced brunette with merry
brown eyes and a way with
anything that is cookable.
At a cocktail party they
gave, Virginia had on a gown
of tawny bronze satin made
on simple lines and her CO.
hostess wore crepe of heav-
enly shade of blue. At this,
one of their first ventures in
entertaining in the apartment,
they were ably assisted by tall,
dark Glenn Anderson, who is
too quick witted and has also
been in kitchens before, judg-
ing from the results of his
concoctions.
Next Monday evening when
the Metropolitan Opera season
opens in New York one of the
most enthusiastic listeners will
be Mrs. Tracy Dows, who will
