Northeast Citizens
Association Opposes
D. T.. Sales Tax
Disopproves PIon
To Bring Rocing to
National Capital

The Northeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association last night "un-
alterably opposed" levying of any
~ form of sales tax in the District,
terming that form of taxation an
unwanted nuisance. The vote was
unanimous.
Leading the discussion, Evan H.
Tucker, association president, de-
clared that not only would the tax
be inconsistent, inasmuch as COM
modities subject to exemption will
be difficult to regulate, but that the
necessary calculation of respective
percentages of taxable articles would
create delay and confusion in busi-
ness establishments. 1T will always
be debatable whether for example
q bottle of sauce as a foodstun is
more necessary than bar of soap
as commodity" Mr.. Tucker de-
clared. use of tax stamps or to-
kens, which would be the only re-
liable means of operating the sales
tax, involves needless bother with
fractions and percentages" he
" added.
opposes Racing.
The association opposed any plan
to establish a racing board in the
District, maintaining that the Ma
tion's Capital is mo place for such
gambling activities" and that race
track betting destroys orderly home
life"
A move urging maintenance of
more sanitary condition of corridors
of the District Building was voted
by the group, which also scored a
''lack of adequate working space" in
the various departments in the
building. Including the Police Head
quarters Building as needing the
same improvements the association
plans to ask the Commissioners for
immediate action.
Traffic Considered.
Separate resolutions on traffic
measures for the District which
were voted last night included ap-
proval of congressional bill pro-
viding for an extensive traffic study,
considering also a possible subway
system, approval for a change in
automobile registration date to April
and opposition to the proposal to
transfer titling of vehicles to the
office of the Recorder of Deeds. All
these resolutions were passed unan-
imously
The association advocated that
all street. and alley improvement or
development assessments be levied
only on property within the same
block of the projects. Disapproval
was accorded a bill to exempt well
fare institutions from real estate
taxation.
The group went on record oppos-
Ing establishment of territorial
form Of government for the District.
Protest was registered on the
running condition of street cars on
the East Capitol street line. The
group also protested further plant
ing of sycamore trees in the North
east section, stating preference for
the red oak and Norway maple
varieties.

Park View Citizens Urge
More PARKING Meters

Expressing their satisfaction with
the present parking meter system,
the Park View Citizens Association
last night moved that additional
meters be placed throughout WASH
ington.
1t was suggested that the Traffic
Department conduct survey of
commercial loading zones in the
downtown area. These zones, it was
contended, are used for commercial
purposes for relatively short pc
riod of the day and could be occu-
pied by private automobiles for the
rest of the time, thus increasing the
revenue derived from the meters.
In an informal talk to the group,
Police 1t. John + Wittstatt of the
No. 10 precinct, stated that the
progress in pedestrian control is al
ready noticeable. He said pedes-
trians are observing the rules even
In the unrestricted areas.
Action on the Sheppard bill,
which provides for an investigation
OF local liquor stores to explore the
feasibility Of a municipal dispensary
system, was deferred for discussion.
The association asked for a solu-
ton to the traffic problem at the
intersection of Park road and Park
place.

be greater than the funds made avai liable
through the dues of the members, .ir. Hensley &C
cente the necessity that the members facts

TR0U BILE IS FL RING IN
 BORDER AREA
Russians and Manehou- kuodns Reported
 in Clashes

TOKYO, Feb. 14-Border clashes between Russian and Manchoukuoan troops are reported by the Domei news agency while the lower house of the Japanese Parliament demanded stronger policy against Russia.
 The Domei dispatch came from Hsinking, Capital of Manchoukuo, and said clashes occurred Sunday and Monday near the scene of the recent skirmishes.
 It is admitted that the Manchou- kuoan forces have been increased in the area.
 An official communique said Soviet troops have been repulsed but no mention is made of casual ties.
 The Japanese Diet has unani- mously approved of a resolution de- manded a stronger stand against Russia. The resolution was drafted jointly by all political parties.
