at Police Court refused to nolle PROSE-
the charge and scheduled it for trial,
1t was said. on the contention that
the District Code requires that op-
orators Of all motor vehicles in the
District shall have an accredited op-
orators permit unless from a State
having reciprocity agreement with the
| District which does not require the
use of permit
The Federal Government, through
| Mr.. Prick, contends that this pro-
! vision of the District Code should not
apply to Federal Government vehi-
cles and drivers from other States
who operate only transiently In the
District.
Mr.. Frick contends that there is
no legal requirement that the Federal
Government shall obtain State Ii
| censes for its motor vehicles, nor is
there any State law requiring that
drivers of Federal vehicles shall have
State opera tors permits
Since it is legal for Federal vehicles
assigned to the various States to op-
crate without State license and to be
driven by operators without State per-
mits. Mr.. Frick contended, it is legal
for these trucks and drivers to op-
crate in the District on official busi-
ness.
He pointed out that under the reci-
procity agreement in effect between
the District and the States it is legal
for Georgia motorists, who are not
required to have operators permits
in Georgia, to drive in the District
as transients without any permit.
The same privilege should be extend
ed to Federal vehicles and drivers
without license or permit, he con-
tended.
A decision against the Federal Gov
ernment in the pending case would
affect hundreds of Federally owned
motor vehicles and drivers assigned
to nearby States who come here on
Federal business, Mr.. Frick pointed
out
Army truck trains might be halted
at the District line and only those
driven by operators possessing District
or State permits recognized as legal
by the District permitted to enter
under such a construction of the
law. This, it was pointed out. might
result in the ludicrous situation of
the National Capital being barred to
its military forces in time of emer-
gency because the soldier -chauffeurs
lacked proper drivers permits.

WHEAT PROGRAM

Secretary Wallace Imposes
Smallest Acreage Quota

By the Associated Press,

The Administrations effort to re-
strict 1889 wheat planting to the
smallest acreage in 80 years posed a
severe test today for its new farm law.
Acting under provisions of the leg
islation. Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace established a national allotment
OF SIS, 900 900 acres. or about rs, 900, 900
acres less than was planned for the
rplus-creating crop now being har-
vested
Secretary Wallace declared that, on
the basis of official forecasts of q
967, ,4l2 ,000-bushel crop this year and
possible surplus of 400, 900 900 BUSH
els, only 55,O0o,ooo acres would be
needed to produce sufficient grain
next year to maintain adequate sup
plies for domestic and export re-
quirements. Not since 1909 has so
small an acreage been planted as he
proposed.
More Acreage, More Surplus.
An acreage in excess OF that, Sec
retary Wallace said, would merely
add to present surpluses and lower
prices and income further.
At average yields. the national al
lotment would produce a crop Of about
$50 100000 bushels.
As an inducement for compliance
with the sharpest reduction program

do So"
Apparently convinced of the merit of
incentive taxation, the Michigan Sena-
tor accused the manufacturers organi-
zation of cavalier tactics in their
rather abrupt dismissal of the idea. And
in his support of tax abatements. the
Senator did receive the cooperation
OF some of the industry witnesses.
Walter D. Fuller, president of the
Curtis Publishing Co.. for instance, ex-
pressed the opinion that tax incentives
might contribute much to improving
employment policies and labor relations,
and suggested that the committee solicit
the opinion and assistance of such or
ganizations as the American Institute of
Accountants and the Controllers Insti-
tute of America.
Mr.. Deupree of Proctor & Gamble
proposed that some form of temporary
tax inducement be devised. its applica-
ton to be limited to the time necessary
to get profit sharing plan in operation.
Gerard Swope, president of the Cen
eral Electric Co., also lent the Senator
encouragement by telling the committee
he believed the Government should
adopt some form of incentive taxation
If 1t hoped to see industry stabilize em-
ployment on any extensive basis.
On the question of tax alienation.
labor takes an even more positive stand
than on the whole theory of profit
sharing.
THE American Federation of Labor
is unalterably opposed to using the tax
power of the Government to promote
profit sharing plans" Mr.. Green says.
I'VE are squarely opposed to amending
the Social Security Act to provide tax
credits for funds allotted to profit
sharing or any similar purpose, however
worthy they may be in themselves"
Out of this welter of conflicting opin-
ion, Senators Herring and Vandenberg
have made it clear that they do not
expect arbitrary congressional action.
but that they hope to provide a stimu-
liant to industrial thinking and an au-
thoritative record where Information and
experience may be cleaned by those who
become convinced that one of the better
paths to more peaceful labor relations is
through increased distribution of indus
trial income.
AS for the idea of incentive taxation.
their feeling might best be expressed by
the summation "there1l be punitive tax
alton anyway. SO we might as we'll try

NATIVES OF PEEL RIVER MAKE FIRST VISIT TO

Peel River natives arrived in Dawson, Yukon Territory, few weeks ago, completing a long ''mush" overland. Thirteen dog teams arrived with many Peel River Indians. The trip was the first one for many of the young bucks, who had never seen a city before, reports the Dawson News.
 Great was the wonderment of these young people in the strange things of the white people. Auto mobiles, electric lights, moving pictures, and such things were all new to them and the cause of much astonishment and bug-eyed staring.
 One old fellow, who had made previous treks to Dawson, 250 miles over wild, unsettled coun try, was asked why he came to Dawson. He replied:
 q come to see the picture show" Another group of natives, their first visit, stood around a street light, waiting patiently for it to turn on. Another bunch hir ed taxi and went joy-riding.
 The Indians brought in a small bunch of fur. They stated that the Dawson merchants treat them much better than the trading posts in the Mackenzie basin. They say that prices there are much higher and they find it cheaper to make the long trip to Dawson.
 Most things at the trading posts, they said, are double the Dawson prices. For instance, a ten-pound sack of sugar will cost SIPS at Dawson, whereas the price in the Mackenzie is $500.
