courts.
DOES NOT AGREE
Dirksen, however, said this Is
not the case, pointing out that
each title of the bill would be
separated, with each having nc
bearing on the other.
81 also do not agree with
those" he said, who are so
afraid that if we add this in
come tax to the other two taxes,
we shall have more revenue than
will be needed. The District
cannot use more money than
is specifically appropriated for
it. If there is a surplus, the
money will be applied to next
years budget"
Nichols, on the other hand, has
said he wants a tax bill that will
raise no more than the anticipated
deficit of $5,00O.O0O.
GIVES ESTIMATES
"The business privilege tax,"
he said, "is calculated to raise
$2,600,000, and the income tax
$3,O00,00O. That is sufficient to
meet the deficit. I shall insist
on only two taxes for purposes
of raising revenue-the business
privilege, real estate or income
tax"
It is Nichols idea that an in
come tax, as separate measure,
should become effective one year
after enactment of the bill.
Although District tax collecting
officials have estimated that bust
ness privilege tax will raise $780,
900 this year, other sources say
that the income from it will not
exceed 81 SOC. 900.

FORGETS RED TAPE
Mr.. Russell cited the expendi.

culc authority OF law, as an ex-
ample OF the procedure followed Dy

greSS.

Senator rat McCarran (UO of
Nevada concerned the ALLEGATION
of $4,000 tor the group health
plan and also disagreed with Mr..
RusSells construction of the law,
in the matter of expenditures not
specifically authorized.
McCARRAN OBJECTS
when you take $4,000 in
public money, that Congress
never had any realization OF nor
any information of and put 1t
into something that is now
being carried on by the en-
ployeS henceforth, I have no
quarrel with that" Senator NC
Carran said. And l think any
group of employees have the
right to combine for any pur-
pose they like, but think Wnen
a junket OF this kind Is StarCed,
if it is something to take money
out of the public funds and
apply to something that Con-
greSS had no lntlma Cioa of, 1t Is
a violation of the principles on
which OUR Government oper-
ateS."
When Mr.. Russell sought to JUS
tify the expenditure Of $1,040,U 100
for the HOLC building and an ad-
ditional $1,8OO,OO0 to improve it,
Senator McCarran and Senator
McAdoo CD of California also
questioned this outlay.
PAYING ITS WAY
1t was developed that the HOLC
negotiated with the Comptroller
General for more than two years
in an effort to establish a proceed
ure for an audit by the Comptrol-
Ter General of the corporation's &C,
counts.
I'VE failed to do so," Mr..
Russell said, and in August,
1885, we wrote the Comptrouer
General of our conclusion that
it was impossible to operate the
corporation by using the forms
prescribed by him."
Chairman John H. Fahey, of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board,
told the committee the Hole did
that voluntarily"
1t was developed in the hearings
that the Federal Government has
become a landlord through the
operations of the HOLC. Mr..
Fahey testified that of the $1,000
properties foreclosed by the HOLC,
some had been sold and others are
being rented. He said the rentals
have been rising and that the
Hole has managed to get out of
all properties foreclosed the
amount of money put into them.

ONLY ONE CHANGE
Only one change from the usual
procedure has been announced.
Immediately after taking the oath,
Governor Price will review the
parade, withholding his inaugural
address until after 1t has passed.
This was agreed upon, it was ex-

Ceremonies will open with the
fetiring governor. George Camp
bell Peery, and his staff calling
on the governor-elect at the Jet'
ferson Hotel and returning with
him to Capitol Square under mill
tary escort.
A 19-bell salute will then be
tolled for Governor Peery from
the bell tower, and few minutes
later. the Richmond Howitzers
will salute the incoming governor
with 10 guns.
JOINT SESSION

Greenbelt cooperator. (Greenbelt, Md.) 1937-1954, 1938-12-08
Speaking of Local Industry

At the last meeting of the Town Council pro-
posal made to initiate survey pre1 iminary to
setting up industries here in Greenbe1t. A large
of money. $40 900, proposed for the survey
alone.
That the sum refused think entirely pro-
per. Parti cular1y since previous attempt had
been made to discover what good survey should
cost. Never theless. the proposal. made by Mr.. Res-
semer, contained the germ Of good idea. and
are glad to that the Council realiz this and
did not discard it in toto. Instead, Fir. Praden,
Town Manager, was instructed to make such sur
vey, and the resolution laid the table pend
ing revision.
The question Of indus tries, the question Of any
economic pursuit in this town Of ours, is CLOSELY
tied up wi tn larger and basic question: "my
was Greenbelt established?"
The primary answer, Of course, is that it a
move to break up the soul-dlling congestion in
which city people of moderate live. Indireot-
1y 1T became standard-bearer against rent-gouging
and rea1-estate specializing. which rampant
in cities today.
Yet. there behind the philosophy Of the
planners. The town dweller today lives unbal-
anced life. His subsistence is earned by toll in
enclosed offices and workshops. His residence is
generally close by. As result Of this centra1i-
cation the urban family has become almost completely
separated from the soil. This se1aration is every
Greenbelt cooperator. (Greenbelt, Md.) 1937-1954, 1938-12-08

bit unhealthy in spiritual it is in q Mater
ia1 sense. and thoughtful men have to realize
it.
Hence, in planning Greenbe1t, attenti on was paid
not alone to residential condi ons. but also to
cultivation Of the soil. During first year this
concept took form in the vegetable garden alloents
which granted everyone who willing to work
then. This form Of limited scope, necessarily
limited. believe. by the character Of Greenbelt
last spring. Only half Of the families had moved
in. and many problems imminent chan soil culti
walton demanded the attentio Of town leaders.
Now however, have the time to discuss and make
plans. for three months Of winter lie Of US.
And significantly. the proposal has arisen to
examine the possibility of establishing local indus
tries.
We believe that local agriculture and the pro-
cessing Of agricultural products possible Of
achievement and in keeping with the preconceived
nature Of Greenbe1t. We have land here. and there
willing to work it. then is needed?
First Of ALL central plan and good direction. 1t
became very evident last year that local soil
would not yield much wi tout we'll directed effort.
onally. felt at the time that larland's red
clay had come in for more than its share Of the
Lords ADAM
Our start in this direction need not be a grand
affair. We should build basis Of what we al
ready have available for the purpose the way Of
funds. willing workers. and natural Too
many Of local projects have been afflicted with
the blight Of "giantism". the burning urge to grab
for Federal funds and do big things Immediately.
TO begin with. the problem should be di scussed
by those Greenbelters interested in farming. Some
pioneering endeevor has beende by Garden Club.
and preliminary exchange Of ideas might very wolf
cake place Within that group. Mr.. Praden a1-
ready empowered by Town Council to make survey
could work wi any delegated body examining all
the possibilities. And only Later on. perhaps year
Later when some groundwork Laid for successful
would consider aach questions livestock
raising. the processing Of vegetables dairy pro-
ducts. etc.
Here. then. is proposal for local Industry"
if it be called thats It which would help
supply our most primary needs. which would place
US In the position Of having to compete with private
industry In outside markets.. 1t would help solve
our local unemployment problenH providing full time
work for those unfortunate few to supplement the part
time work Of the mary. And it would help provide
fine background for ldren who are GROWING up
