CANCELS MEETING
OF DC. COMMITTEE
Chairman Norton Defers
Session for Lack of Press
ina Matters.

The regular weekly meeting of the
House District Committee today was
Cancelled by Chairman Norton be-
cause Of the lack of important mat
tiers deserving immediate conSidera-
ton.
The loss of the regular District
day in the House due to the death of
Representative Buchanan, Democrat,
Of Texas has left the House calendar
crowded with more District bills than
can be disposed of on the next Dis
trict day. March 8.
Six on Calendar.
There are now six District measures
on the House calendar. The one to
modernize and humanize Juvenile
Court procedure has a preferred
status and will be considered first
when the District calendar is reached
Nearly all other important District
bills introduced at the current session
of Congress have been referred to
special subcommittee for considera-
ton and report These include the
five Mapes bills, which have been
mittee headed by Representative Ken
nedy, Democrat, of Maryland, which
was created to study the recommended
tions in the Jacobs fiscal relations re-
port for raising additional revenue.
One Would Raise Gas Tax.
One of the Mapes bills provides an
increase in the gasoline tax from 2
to 4 cents gallon. Another would
place weight tax on motor vehicles.
A third provides for an inheritance
tax, and a fourth would substitute
an income tax for the present tax on
Intangible personal property.
Similar legislation was proposed in
the Jacobs fiscal relations report to
offset part of an anticipated deficit
of nearly S1O00O,00O in District reve-
nues in the coming fiscal year if the
three-point formula is approved by
Congress.

TO laugh off its own seriousness in the

And how has this increase In force

Well, If the company's heralding

very simply. 1t has been accomplished,
they say. simply by deleting the excess
Of comedy which was interpolated in

they have every right to insist that the

Of especial interest. The girls in

Program Changes
TO Alter Physical
Education Setup

Proposed changes in the physical
education program at Central Union

youth enrolled in the department.
The 100 to $50 boys who in the
past were out for football at one

through the afternoon physical edu-
cation classes. said Superintendent
Guy Weakley.
This arrangement will permit
more actual contact between coach

under the old system, the super
