Ken Murray
Says:

It took a divorce court to dis
cover that Death Valley ScOtty's
fabulous gold mine is really a
Chicago banker who said he'd
been furnishing the old pros
pectOr with money for years, just
for laughs Who'd ever have
thought of going to Death Val
ley to panhandle for gold?
Guess most of US have been
using the wrong methods In
trying to get the precious metal
Evidently, in order to be
successful, you've got to ap.
proach your banker with pack
train.
We gather from the finan-
tier's statement that all ScOtty
had to do was go into Death
Valley and lay around awhile
until his friend sent on more
gold Looks like the old
prospectOr was one of the first
to make q success Of a Sit-dOwn
"Strike."
Now that the whole thing is
out we can all have q good
laugh Especially since ScOtty
and his banker friend didn't
try to sell us stock in that mine.

D.C.HEADS GIVE
5-FL00R LIFT

Officials Of the District govern
ment today determined to "give a
lift" to their fellow citizens lift
in a lift for all Of five floors.
Translated into the Kings Eng
lish or the Presidents American,
that means one Of the elevators on
the Fourteenth Street side Of the
District Building has been con-
verted temporarily into an express,
running straight from the base
ment to the fifth floor without a
stop.
Persons entering this lift in the
basement seldom notice a small
sign explaining the situation, and
when they desire to emerge at the
third or fourth floor they suddenly
learn they must ascend to the top
of the edifice and then find their
way down either on the local ele-
vatorS or by way of the stairs.
Reason for the express service,
it was explained, is the necessity
of quick transportation for mem
bers of the inaugural committee at
work on the fifth floor.

CLERKS
UNDERPAID,
SHE SAYS
Declares Government
Should Set Pace
For Industry

Charging that q great many
Federal employees are now under.
paid, Representative Mary T. Nor.
ton CD, of New jersey, chair.
man of the House District Com
mittee, today announced her sup
port of legislation boosting the
salary of Government workers
throughout the country.
Representative Norton said she
believed the Federal Government
should set the pace" for the coun-
try, adding:
"The Government is trying to
interest business in establishing
a higher standard Of living for
the American people. 1t is there
fore up to the Government itself
to set the pace by raising the
salaries Of the men and women
in its employ"
Not Paid Enough
Mrs. Norton declared that a
large number of Government work.
ers are not being paid sufficient
oeAACbA 4CI9 w d P4OPC4 SSA4A
decent standard of living"
Commenting on the McCarran
bill introduced in the Senate
which would establish $500 as q
minimum salary, Mrs. Norton said
that "$1, 500 certainly is the small.
est that any family can live on"
She also said she favored the
Gibson bill to extend Civil Serv-
ice retirement benefits to legisla-
tive employees on Capitol Hill.
Awaiting a Hearing
In the meantime, the measure
introduced by Senator Pat McCara
ran CD Of Nevada is awaiting
a hearing before the Senate Civil
Service Committee. The hearing
will be held when the Civil Serv.
ice Commission and various Gov.
ernment departments report on
the measure. It has already been
sent to them for study.
A bill similar to Senator Nc.
Carran's is expected to be intro
duced in the House some time
this week.

HOLD
HAZEN PLAN IS
DEFICIT CURE
Federal Donation on
Local Realty Basis
Set at $1o,OOO,OOO

The $10,0O0,0OO deficit which
Capital taxpayers face at the end
of the 1888 fiscal year would be
wiped out if Congress approved
the much-proposed Ian of Commits
sioner Melvin C.. Hazen, basing
the Federal contribution on the
Districts realty tax rate. This
was the opinion voiced by District
officials today.
Today the Government, as
shown in the report of the Jacobs
fiscal relations committee and
statistics gathered by Tax Assessor
Fred Allen, owns 80 per cent of
District property as against q per
cent in 1880.
Allen revealed that in 1880 there
was 1,182, ,463 900 in District tax
able real estate, while today that
figure has dwindled to $1,144, ,457,-
900, a decrease of 100000.
Gain of S17O,O85,GOO
During the Seven-year period,
the holdings Of the Government
have risen from $478, 900 to
$648, ,791, 900, an increas of $780,
OBS, 900.
This $170,085, 900 worth Of prop
erty was taken out of the Districts
taxable category, mainly as a re-
suit of the huge Federal building
triangle program.
Commissioner HAGEN repeatedly
has suggested that the Federal
contribution be calculated on the
basis of taxes which the United
States would pay if it's real eS-
tate was not tax exempt. On the
present tax rate of $1.50 per 500
of value, the Federal lump sum
under the Hazen proposal would
amount to approximately $10,0OO.-
900.
u. S. Gain Largest
In addition to the Government
holding of tax exempt property,
there is today $160,212,354 in
other tax-exempt holdings. How
ever, the trend of ownership in the
other classes Of tax exempt prop
erty has not been great in CON-
parison with the trend Of the U.
S. Government.
The District Government holds
$50, zee, 300 in tax exempt prop
erty, while churches, educational
institutions, charitable and other
tax-exempt institutions own $685.
415,545 in property.
The Washington times., 1937-01-19

ton at that time explained that
she, personally, did not favor the
Joint sessions, but promised to
take the matter up with her COM
mittee.
She did so today, and there was
not a dissenting vote on a motion
by Representative William Schultz
Cd of Indiana, that the Senate
and House groups hold separate
hearings on the report.
Names Committees
Immediately, Mrs. Norton ap-
pointed the following two Subcom-
mittees to consider the two phases
Of the report:
Legislation recommended in the
report: p
Representatives Jack Nichols
CD of Oklahoma, chairman; Jen-
nings Randolph CD of West Vir-
ginia, Dan R. McGehee CD Of
Mississippi, Ralph o. Brewster
CR.) of Maine, and Sterling Cole
(R0 of New York.
Taxation to be imposed to meet
the impending deficit:
Representatives Ambrose j. Ken
nedy CD of Maryland, chairman:
william Schultz Cd Of Indiana,
Leon Sacks CD of Pennsylvania,
Everett Dirksen (R) Of Illinois,
and Dewey Short (R.) of Missouri.
In bringing the matter to at
tention to her committee, Mrs.
Norton asserted that the fiscal
report is "the most important
thing to come before this COM
mittee since I have been a mem
Der of it." She urged that men,
brs give it their studied con-
sideration and impressed upon
the members the necessity of
doing a good job, rather than
rushing it as the expense of
thoroughneSs.
Backs Joint Sessions
Only one member suggested
that the House and Senate Com
mittees consider the matter
JOluCIys 1ua6 WAS Representative
James Quinn CD Of Pennsyl-
vania, who declared that the
President, in transmitting the re-
port, has urged that action on
it be taken as speedily as pos
Sible.
Other members. however, came
to the support of Schultz, point
ing out that the reason for there
being two branches of Congress
is for one to provide a check
against the other, that it is diff
cult to get both groups together at
one time, and that If separate
hearings were held the entire field
would be more completely eX-
nlOred

TO BACK
PARKING RULE

Corporation Counsel Elwood
Seal was requested by his Police
Court assistants today to aid in
the preparation Of a reply to At
torney T. Edward O'Connells mo-
ton to do away with the police
regulation banning night parking.
The motion, made yesterday be-
fore Traffic Court Judge Edward
M. Curran, charged that the regu-
lation, which ostensib1y facilitates
snow removal, it "a libel on the
climate of the city," O'Connell's
car was ticketed on Sixteenth st.
N. w., earlier this month.
Judge Curran yesterday told
Assistant Corporation Counsel Rice
Hooe that he himself was of the
opinion that the enactment Of the
law was an unlawful use of dele
gated authorities on the part of
the District Commissioners. He
said he would give Hooe'S effice
until Friday morning to prepare
an answer, after Attorney O'Con-
nell had~urged a speedy decision
in his case.
The snow removal parking ban
was attacked last year by an
other attorney, Charles E. Ford,
whose motion, made before former
Judge Gus A. Schuldt, was not
ruled on until spring. Meanwhile,
motorists who had posted and
elected to forfeit collateral on
tickets received under the regula-
ton found themselves unable to
retrieve their money.
Attorney O'Connell pointed out
that hundreds Of car owners have
already fallen victims Of the law
this year and that all of these
cases must hang fire until his mo-
ton is disposed of one way or the
other.

SENATE GET 5
Ado. BILLS

Four District bills bearing the
approval of the District Commis-
sioners and the Budget Bureau
were introduced in the Senate to-
day by Senator William H. King
Cd, Utah, chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee.
The other six measures which
we're sent to the chairman by the
Commissioners are being withheld
to allow the Senator to study them
more closely.
The bills put in today were:
A bill to amend the weights and
measures law relating to the sale
Of coal in small quantities. It pro-
vides that the fuel must be offered
in standardized packages Of SO, Is
and Is pounds.
A bill providing a $25 fine for
treaspaSSing on public school prop
erty.
A bill placing all detectives un-
der direct command of the Chief
of Police instead of under the va
rious captains in the precincts.
This bill was also introduced at
the last session.
Detectives now assigned to head
quarters receive 5000 more in
salary than those in plain clothes
at the precincts. This measure
would set up two classes of detec.
tiveS with 5000 increase for de-
tectiveS in the first class and $240
for those in class two.
The other measure was also in
troduced at the last session and
provides for a uniform sales act
to cover the sale of goods in the
District by bringing the various
statues into one act and revamp-
ing them to compare with the uni
form law now in effect in AZ States.

down Pennsylvania Avenue like
the tail follows a comet.

answer his invitation to the Inau-
gural ceremonies himself. His Sec
