Party Lines Erased.
The House bill, passed late yes

apply Federal and State income
taxes to salaries of all public en-
ployes. It would forbid retroactive
Federal taxation of certain State
employees who might be affected by
recent Supreme Court decisions. 1t

Party lines meant nothing while
the House had the measure under

Maryland and Virginia
Formers Fear Loss
To TheH Business

Farmers from Maryland and Vir-
ginia appeared today before sub
committee of the House District
Committee and protested the pro-
posed erection of an automobile in
spection station at Tenth and F
streets S.W.
The opposition was headed by
Representative S. o. Bland of Vir-
ginia, who said the erection of the
station would interfere with the
adjoining Farmers Market, and he
predicted farmers would lose fruit
and vegetable business If the station
is built.
The hearing showed that the land
was first set aside for a contem-
plated extension of the market but
was recently reallocated by the
Commissioners for the inspection
station. The station would cost ap-
proximately $50,000 and is already
half completed, according to the
/ testimony.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer told the subcommittee, which
is headed by Representative Nc
Ardle, Democrat, of Pennsylva-
MIA that the Commissioners have
been unable to find any other suit
able site for the building. He said
the Commissioners consider that the
| land is no longer needed for an ex-
pected extension of the market, but
has been used for some time as 8

-Four Professors
Protest Cayton Letter
Quitting HowardP Post
Judges Criticisms Held
Distinct Disservice'
To University

Four professors at the Howard
University Law School today pro-
tested publicly to Judge Nathan
Cayton, recently resigned from the
law faculty, that some of the
language in his public letter OF
resignation "is calculated to render
a distinct disservice" to the uni
versity.
Judge Cayton resigned from the
law faculty Tuesday after decade
of service His letter to President
Mordecai w. johnson of the uni
versity contained several criticisms
of the university, including protest
against the "booting' of Judge
James A. Cobb from the law faculty,
the "tempermental manner in which
appointments and dismissals from
the faculty are made" and the
litigation in which the university
has participated.
Conceding his right to protest
Judge Cobbs dismissal. the pro-
fessors, however, pointed out that
District Court recently upheld the
university-the decision, of course,
being subject to the action OF the
proper appellate courts"
In connection with Judge Caytons S
protest against "temperamental
dismissal and appointment to the
faculties, the four said they, though
full-time members of the law
faculty, had" insufficient knowledge
concerning the other faculties.
Judge Cayton, they said, has based
sweeping generalities" on a personal
contact with the university limited to
a tWo-hour period on Saturday
mornings for one semester each year.
They cited the recent appointment
of Judge William H. Hastie OF the
Virgin Islands to be dean of the law
school as a conspicuous example OF
the practice of the university in Sc
lecting its personnel on merit basis.
In the matter of law suits the
group mentioned that George E. G.
HAYES. member of the law school
faculty and university attorney, has
successfully defended the university
in all of them.
The professors making the protest
included Bernard S. Jefferson, w.
Robert Ming, jr., and j. M. Nabrlt,
assistant professors, and Associate
Prof. Leon Ransom. They all ex-
pressed regret at Judge Cayton's
resignation.
