Budget Bureau Refuses Plea
OF DC. Heads to Approve
. $4,000 Fund.
BACKGROUND

BACKGROUND
After decline in private cOntri-
buttons and failure OF certain bene-
fit events to yield expected income,
the Citizens Com mittee has provided
funds for operation OF project from
october to date, recently appealed
to Commissioners to seek q def
cheney appropriation to continue
project for remainder OF school
year. About $500 children are jed.
Fears of early abandonment OF the
free-lunch program for needy school
children were voiced at the District
Building today after it was learned
that the Budget Bureau had declined
to recommend to Congress a supple
mental appropriation of $4,000, which
was requested last month by the Com
missioners as needed to carry the pro-
gram to the end of the school term
In June
The Commissioners filed q new re-
quest with Acting Budget Director
Daniel w. Bell for early action on
the requested supplemental item and
for approval Of sum of $4,000 for
operation of the free-lunch program
during the the next school year.
1t was revealed that the Budget
Bureau, instead Of passing on the re-
quested supplemental item, had sug-
gested that the Commissioners could
take money from the appropriation
for the relief of the destitute unem-
ployables. Commissioner Melvin C.
HazeE today advised Mr.. Bell they
had no authority to do this. and that
If they had the fund for relief of the
unemployables already was insufficient
and could not be used for the lunch
program
Hazen Answers Criticism.
Meanwhile. Hazen answered the
severe criticism of the Commissioners
voiced at the Saturday mass meeting
on relief needs for their failure to
attend the session. by declaring:
Il do not believe it Is fair to
criticise the Commissioners for the
action Of the Budget Bureau and the
House in reducing the proposed ap-
preparation for relief to 100000. We
have no power to dictate what shall
be the relief appropria ton.
Il did not attend the mass meeting
Saturday because I was not invited
1t is true that the Commissioners did
not approve the request of welfare
officials for large increase in the re-
lief appropriation over this years bud
get However, the reduction was rec
commended by the Budget Bureau and
approved by the House. In both cases
our welfare officials attended the ses-
sions to state their belief Of what sum
was needed"
Unless speedy action is taken, the
school lunch program must be halted
March Z. Otto Cass, deputy w. P. A.
director for the District, said funds
on hand would not last beyond that
date, For two weeks the program
has. been financed out of a sum Of
about $4,000 of unexpended balances Of
grants to the District from the old
Federal Emergency Relief Administra-
tion program.

In his three-hour Reichstag address
Der Fuehrer touched pointedly on
most phases Of the Reich's foreign
policy.
He warned bordering nations with
German minorities to quit 'inflicting

with his armed forces.
He informed Great Britain that she
could have peace with the Reich by
turning over colonies she gained from
Germany by World War victory.
He hailed Germany's new co-opera-

to preserve the independence OF that
former Hapsburg country in which
Nazidom took sweeping strides last

He sided with insurgents in the
Spanish Civil War and with Japan

MARYLANDERS HIT
D. c. BUSINESS TAX
House Subcommittee Told
State Firms Must Pay
$500,00O to Capital.
BY JAMES f. CHINN.

Maryland business men who can't
understand why they should be forced
to contribute s5O0,OO0 a year toward
support of the District for the privi-
lege Of doing business here. made a
vigorous protest today TO the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the House
District Committee against the pro-
posal in the 1899 revenue bill to
continue imposition of the gross re-
ceipts tax on outside firms.
The Maryland delegation was headed
by Warren T. King of the Baltimore
Association of Commerce, who said he
represented 1900 business men in
various sections Of the State.
Mr.. King branded the business
privilege tax as imposed on outside
Arms as unfair and unjust" and de-
clared it established a dangerous
precedent as we'll as a trade barrier.
He also predicted 1t would lead to
the "retaliatory spread of such a law"

Criticism also was heaped on the
corporation counsel's Office for its
bad" Interpretation OF certain phases
Of the existing business privilege tax
by Representative Kennedy. Demo-
crat, Of Maryland, who served as chair
man Of the Special Tax Subcommittee
which last year drafted the current
tax increase program. His criticism
followed disclosure that service men
from Maryland firms who do not sell
anything in Washington had been re-
quired to procure the $40 business
privilege license.
Mr.. Kennedy also clashed with the
Maryland business men for opposing
the business privilege tax as applied
to outside firms, even though he said
his attack might injure him politically
in Baltimore, where he lives.
I'VE sit here to legislate for the
best interests of the people of the
District and not those in Baltimore, ~

Plan to
Enjoy Yourself
There are so many different
ways of keeping comfortable
and enjoying yourself in this al
legged inferno. It's all a matter
of organization, a little planning,
a bit of intelligent foresight.
In most cases it isn't even a
matter of money. All who have
transportation facilities to Rock
Creek Park or Hams Point can
enjoy beauties and breezes which
residents of some States I might
mention would travel days to
find.
If you can manage to live in
the suburbs, across the line in
Maryland or across the river in
Virginia, your problems are min
imized. But if you happen to
live in the heart of the city you
can still do something about
creating a breathing spot which
will aid in your illusion of en-
joyment.
On this page during the next
week or so, we propose to show
pictures of the various ways in
which our citizenry meets.

cared for as they should be, and
according to Mr.. Mondshine.
stockings should be dipped in
warm suds water, never hot.
They should not be soaked nor
rubbed, but swished about, then
rinsed in cool water and rolled
in a turkish towel. When the
moisture is removed, shape them
a bit and dry away from the
heat, not near the radiator.

the lipstick she had been using
