TOWNSEND ON
BRIEF VISIT
in THIS CITY

Capt. George L. Townsend, Exc
cutive officer of the Signal Corps
United States Army, visited briefly
in Juneau yesterday while the
Aleutian was in port.
Capt. Townsend is making the
round trip aboard the Aleutian and
while in the north went as far as
Fairbanks. His headquarters are IN
Seattle.
The Juneau office of the Signal
Corps was spick and span. For
several days, priyates, corporals,
sergeants and everybody else con-
nected, scrubbed, oiled, polished and
thoroughly cleaned the local offices
and it would have taken gnat to
have found even a speck of dust
anywhere.

week.

they were warned in Baltimore
yesterday that their viSas were
fraudulent and that they would
not be permitted to land there.

DISEASE PER|LS
FARM CAMPERS

ESTON. Mo-, Jan. IL
G.N.SO.-As State and Federal
officials pondered their plight, a
ragged, homeless throng of men,
women and children offered
prayers for salvation today.
Used to privation and want, the
1000 sharecroppers and their fam
lilies, a majority of them Negroes,
waited stoically in makeshift
camps along the highway for ar
rival of aid.
They asked little-only food,
shelter and warmth. Scores were
without blankets to cover them
selves as the chill night wind
from the Mississippi whippe d
through their tattered clothing
with a bite that campfires could
not drive out.
Food was running low and with
the pinch of hunger On the face
of many a. child, whole families
gathered about a single bubbling
pot and its Watery stew.
Still there was gayety. Spirit
ualS and folk songs rolled across
the dank cotton fields in time tc
the shuffling dancers outlined
against the light of corncob and
driftWood fires.
But over the strange scene
hung a growing threat of tragedy
A doWnpour or even sudden drop
in the temperature, it was realized
by authorities, would send wave
of pneumonia sweeping through
the undernourished and ill-pro
tected campers.
The Red Cross was mobilizing
to provide emergency relief.

Approval of Plan

Proposals to levy a 2 per cent
tax on sales involving 25 cents
or more in the District won tenn.
pered Endorsement today from
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
and Engineer Commissioner David
McCoach, jr.
Sole exemptions would be medi
cines and food for home consump
tion. Commissioner Hazen said:
"It may seem tough to have
to pay tax on a 25-cent meal
In a restaurant but I'll go along
with the recommendations of
the advisory committee. We ap-
pointed the committee members
and they have done good job.
"SOUND COMPROMISE"
"They have made a careful
study and while the results may
not be completely satisfactory
to everybody, the recommends
tionS are a sound compromise
between advocates of a sales tax
as against an outright income
levy.
II believe the plan as proposed
can be enacted into law and I
hope very much Congress will
agree on it gince it represents
the necessary basis for a decent
tax bill for the District.
IF Congress passes a tax bill
drawn on these lines we will
not have to continue running
the District on makeShift fiscal
legislation from year to year.
SEES DIFFICULTY
At the same time Hazen empha,
sized his belief there will be a ten.
dency to chisel around exemp,
tions. He also stressed his convic-
tion the legislation. if enacted, will
be difficult to enforce. He said
he favors proposal advanced by
L. A. Carruthers, president, Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations.
AS explained by Carruthers, his
plan would make the sales tax pay
able in cash to obviate bookkeep-
ing and other difficulties incident
to a system involving mills and
fractions of cents.
Carruthers would have a s1-cent
tax paid on all sales from 25 cents
to IS cents, with a 2-cent tax on
amounts from rs cents to 81.
For amounts above 81, Car
ruthers advocated a similar sys-
tenn, that is, purchase of $124
would pay a 2-cent tax while the
total for purchases $1.25 to SITS
would be 8 cents and from $1.75
to So would be 4 cents.
PAYS NO MORE
Carruthers pointed out there
will be as many purchases prob
ably above so cents as below SO
cents and adoption of his proposal
would mean the consumer would
pay in the aggregate no more
than the per cent recommended
by the tax advisory committee.
Colonel McCoach restricted his
statement TO:

resents a practical solution to

salaries of $4,000 a year and up
