POND TO ARRIVE
TOMORROW FOR
D. c. TAX SURVEY
Head of Study Served on
Jacobs Committee on
Fiscal Relations.
BR00KINGS AND P. w. A.
JOBS ALSO WERE HELD
First Meeting Of Advisory Group
Will Be Held in Office
of Hazen.

District Of Columbia tax problems
are an old story to DR.. Chester Pond.
33-year-old New York economist, who
will arrive here tomorrow to begin a
survey of local taxes under direction
Of the congressional joint committee
on internal revenue taxations.
DR.. Pond learned much about local
fiscal difficulties while serving as a
staff expert with the so-called Jacobs
Committee on Fiscal Relations in 1896.
That group, headed by ]. L. Jacobs,
authority on municipal finance, made
an intensive study of District Federal
fiscal relations, but its recommended
tions were denounced in Congress and
out as impractical and the voluminous
report was scrapped. The Jacobs
committee made a vain attempt to
readjust fiscal relations between the
District and the Federal Government
on basis of cost of services rendered
the United States by the District.
1t was not known here what atti-
tude DR.. Pond took at that time on
the recommendations of the Jacobs
group.
Study Begins Tomorrow.
Study of possible revisions Of the
District tax structure will be started
officially tomorrow at the first meeting
OF members Of the Tax Advisory Com
mittee with DR.. Pond, who will report
for duty at the session, to be held;
at pm. in the Office of Commissioner
Hazen.
Colin F. Stam, chief of staff Of the
joint committee. and Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, are ex-
pected to attend the session.
Vacationing in Adams, N. Y, with
his wife and 7-month-old daughter,
DR.. Pond told the Associated Press
yesterday he planned to continue"
the study he began as a member of
the Jacobs staff two years ago. He
declined to comment further.
DR.. Pond said he expected q fur
lough from his present post as as
sistant director Of the Bureau of Re-
search and Statistics of the New York
State Department Of Taxation and
Finance. ~ :
On Brockings STAFF.
Prior to his service here with the
Jacobs committee, DR.. Pond was a
member Of the staff of the Institute
OF Economics Of the Brookings Insti-
tuition. He had an opportunity to be-
come generally familiar with affairs
in the District Of Columbia during this
period, which began in July, 1882.
and continued until September, 1888.
Later he was able to observe District
conditions as an employe of the Public
Works Administration.
Born in Ithaca, N. Y, DR.. Pond was
graduated from Cornell University
with an A. B. in economics In 1927.
receiving his masters degree in 1928
and Phi. D. in 1880 from the same
university
From 1923 to 1880 he held a New
York State tax commission fellowship
at Cornell.
After three years experience as a
teacher of economics and public
finance at various universities he
joined the P. w. A., serving nearly
three and half years in the finance
division here.

VETERANS SEEK
INDUSTRY PACTS
Victory Post Unit Drafts
Contract Form-U. S.
Scope Seen.

Preferred employment status for
war veterans through contractual
agreement with employers is being
sought by local veterans organiza-
tions, it was announced yesterday.
The form of the contract is being
drafted by special committee of
Victory Post of the American Legion
sponsors of the plan, and is to be dis
cussed at meeting of this commit
tee tomorrow night with representa-
tives of other service groups.
The committee, headed by Morris A.
Bealle, will present the resolution for
action by the post on July rs. Mr..
Bealle said passage was virtually as
sured and that it would then be pre-
sented to the coming District of Co
lumbia Department convention and
later to the national convention of
the Legion.
As tentatively drafted, the resolution
provides that the Legion use its in
f1uence among members and friends to
buy only the products of employers
who hire a certain percentage Of war
veterans.
I'VE believe it would solve the un-
employment problem of men over 40"
Mr.. Bealle said. THE Legion would
be using organized labors methods in
dealing with industry" The resolution
would set up an industrial co-ordina-
ton department to handle the con-
tracts.
The resolution also advocates
strengthening of veterans preference
laws in civil service ratings. Among
other provisions, the resolution asks
that preference for veterans be ex-
tended to lay-offs, furloughs and dis
missals caused by reduction of force. "
Another provision asks Congress to re-
quire that at least 10 per cent Of those
employed on Federal construction prof.
ects be veterans.
Meeting with the committee tomor-
row night at the Victory Post club
rooms, 1138 Eighteenth street NV,
will be representatives Of other posts
and of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
the Catholic War Veterans, the Irish
War Veterans and the Army and Navy
Union.

yesterday to obtain release from Jail
Of his l8-year-old son, who was charged
with robbery after police said he and
another youth admitted snatching .
purse from a woman's hand Friday
night.
Norman A. Pruitt, Is, and Charles
L. Gainus. II, also of Mount Rainier,
were arrested at their homes early yes
terday after the incriminating purse
which contained only $480-was
found in a wrecked car that was traced
to young Pruitt by its license tags.
Charged with robbery in Juvenile
Court because he is year too young
for the same criminal court prosecu-
ton that faces the Mayors son, Gal
nus was held at the Receiving Home
last night for lack of bali.
Mr.. Pruitt arranged bond for his
son when the formal charge was
placed against him, after attempting
most of the day to obtain his release
from the twelfth precinct station,
where the youths were questioned,
police said.
Mrs. Elizabeth Rosenberger. 1915

He'd in car driven by another youth
as she was walking near her home
about 10 o'clock.

Judge Hobart Newman heard q
new story in Trafic Court yesterday
as to why q policeman's word might
differ from that Of defendant re-
garding the speed of his automobile.
Attorney Philip Wagshal, represent
ing Alex Farhood, 1925 Park road NV,
replied to the judge In answer to q
query regarding the different speed
estimates:
Judge, I might just as well be
frank. I believe that these policemen
sometimes get so tired and it becomes
so monotonous just riding around on
their motorcycles that they have
halucinations and see things that
actually aren't there, Just like . man
