NEW EFFORT SEEN
TOCUT LIQUOR TAX.
King in Doubt if Session
Bill Will Include
Provision.
By the Associated Press.

New efforts to lower the taxes on
liquor are in store for next session,
but the likelihood of their success is
problematical.
Chairman King of Senate Finance
Subcommittee in charge of a bill
tightening up administrative features
of the liquor tax laws said it had been
suggested that the Senate add tax
lowering provision to the measure.
My present view though" he said
In an interview. would be to resist
efforts to tack on tax provision
King said that while he favored
lower levies than the present domestic
rate of s1.l0 a gallon on distilled
spirits and IS a barrel on beer, he
thought any changes should be ini-
Mated by the House.
There, however, partial poll Of
1.-THE tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee indicated the sentiment for
reducing the levies is not sufficiently
strong to assure action.
Representatives Samuel B. Hill.
Democrat of Washington, and Vinson,
Democrat of Kentucky, powerful men,
bers of the committee, said they did
not think there was sufficient tax-cut-
ting sentiment in the committee to
indicate immediate action.
The liquor tax question undoubt-
edly is highly disputed on the Senate
side" King acknowledged, ''and my
opinion is if there is any legislation
1t should be reduction"
The problem arose shortly after re-
peal. There was considerable discus
sion. particularly in the House. of the
need of lowering the levy to bring
down prices of bona fide liquor and
thus curtail bootlegging, but little was
heard the past session.
Director Joseph H. Choate of the
now disbanded Federal Alcohol Con-
troll Administration fought to have the
liquor levies reduced Secretary Nor
genthau disagreed, insisting more en-
forcement was all that was needed to
protect the legitimate business.

I look out of our windows and across
the street to see the grass of our local
small triangle burning brown for lack
OF sprinkling and growing messy and
unkempt for lack Of policing.
After every public holiday all of our
parks present a disgusting spectacle.
They are mess of flying newspapers
and scattered litter, such as no other
country would tolerate and very few
cities even in this country.
Instead of spending millions for un-
necessary construction and destruction.
such as the indefensible devastation of
the Mall and Botanic Gardens, large
proportion of these sums might much
more proftably be spent in upkeep and
maintenance.
The park police force should be vastly
increased so that all of the parks, even
the small ones, would have permanent
custodians to see that they were kept
neat and clean.
If this cannot be afforded I suggest
that at least huge loud speaker end

Italian-Abyssinian War
And Slavery Suppression
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Statements to justify the invasion of
Abyssinia by claiming the noble motive
of "suppressing slavery" may prove ade-
quate to satisfy world INDICATION at gross
aggression, but, like the old Spanish
claim to "Christianize the Indians in
the New World" they merely hide ul-
terror motives.
What is so often reported as slavery"
among the .non-white peoples of the
world is but the persistence of the patri-
archal system in which the father and/or
the tribal chieftain has absolute juris-
diction over those under and related
to him. Such a system prevailed when
Abraham offered Isaac, in biblical his
tory, and leads Africans today to tender
their sons even in labor in the service
of those whom they consider their
friends with no thought Of pay. I'm
spoiled American Negroes have the same
attitude toward receiving pay for service
or hospitality to friends. It used to make
Southern hospitality so gracious a social
custom, and the giving Of an "hon-
orarium" where the service is of the
character that prevents bargaining as
to price is . remnant of the same
custom.

Notebook of Science Progress i'm Field,
Laboratory and Study.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

A new and serious disease which
occurs sporadically all over the United
States has just been diagnosed by the
Public Health Service, and the flterable
virus responsible for it has been isolated.
1t is called acute lymphocytic chorio-
meningitis" Both animals and humans
are susceptible to it and there may be
reservoir of the virus in animals from
The disease specifically is like the
dreaded cerebro-Spinal meningitis, but
the symptoms are not so severe and
none of the cases reported to date have
been fatal. The malady may have been
in existence for many years without
being recognized as q disease entity. 1t
may even have been responsible for
some of the curious meningitis epidemics.
The discovery is announced jointly by
Dr. Charles Armstrong, Public Health
Service surgeon, and Lieut.. Comdr.
Paul F. Dickens of the United States
Navy Medical Corps, in a Public Health
Service report. Although the symptoms
are similar, the new disease differs from
cerebro- spinal meningitis, one of the
most serious of all human ailments, both
in its severity and in the causative
agent Meningitis is caused by several
strains of a microscopic organism, the
meningococcus, which attacks and
causes an Inflammation of the meninges,
or Innings of the brain and spinal
column. One of the requirements in
diagnosing it is to determine the pres
ence of the meningococci in the spinal
fluid.
But for the past two or three years
physicians in various parts of the coun-
try have been puzzled by their failure
to find any of these organisms in cases
which presented all other aspects Of the
disease The spinal fluid pressure would
be increased. There would be charac-
teristic changes in the cells. Patients
would complain of intense headache,
would exhibit the vomiting characteristic
of the disease, and would have moderate
fevers The optic disks would be blurred.
The physicians found that such patients
usually recovered in from three to six
weeks and that there was no residual
paralysis, such as was common in re-
covered meningitis cases. They began
reporting such cases as acute asceptic
meningitis" meningitis for which no
causative agent could be discovered.
Some of the earliest reports were made
by Lieut.. Comdr. Dickens in 1882

against previous performances of this
character, having remained aloft for $50

more than four days-the official world
record scored by the Hunter brothers at
Chicago in 1880 and by slightly more
than six hours the unonicial record of
jackson and O'Brien at st. Louis in the
same year.

And Why Not a Woman?

Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle was the
logical choice of the Board Of Education
to be its president. There was, indeed.
one black mark against her. She hap
pened to be q woman. No woman has
ever been president of the board before.
1t was a question Of considerable mo-
ment whether that precedent should
be smashed.
But those who know Mrs. Doyle-and
these include her male colleagues on
the board-realize that 1t was no mere
spirit of gallantry that moved and made
unanimous her election. Mrs. Doyle is
woman, but to say that she represents
the New Womanhood is merely trite and
inadequate. She represents our finest
type of citizen. A college graduate,
teacher, a successful wife and mother
and an interested and always intelli-
gent participant in community affairs.
she brings to her new position Of influ-
ence an understanding knowledge Of
Washington and its problems, sympa-
thetic and unusually intimate acquaint-
ance with the school system and a very
level head that is blessed with that
sometimes rare quality-common sense.
The community will feel assured that
in Mrs. Doyle it possesses a working
representative as president Of the board,
willing to devote her capable energies
to its interests. The community and the
Board of Education are to be congratu
lated on her election.
