Income Tax Rush Due
To Beqin Wednesday

The big rush to file income tax
returns for the year 1888 is expected
to start Wednesday at the office OF
the Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue, Twelfth street and Constl-
tuition avenue.
Already a few taxpayers have
called at the Office in Room 1902, to
dle their returns early. but the full
force of experts to help taxpayers
make out their returns will not be
available until Wednesday.
Under this plan the collector,
whose office for this area is in Balti-
more, has arranged to provide facili-
ties to help the public for 80 days.
The income tax returns are due on
midnight March Is, with at least
one-fourth Of the tax due.
Little change is apparent in the
Income tax return known as Form
1o4o A, for net incomes of not more
than 5000, on which most of the
returns in this city will be filed.
The returns for the larger incomes,
Of more than $4,000 net, however,
show a substantial change from the
ones last year. The changes swing
principally around changes in the
law regarding gains and losses from
sales or exchanges of capital assets.
Taxpayers in Washington may
either go to the local Office in the
Revenue Building, or may file by
mail to the Collector of Internal
Revenue, Baltimore.

Drake Urges Scouts
To Protect Rights
Under Constitution
Speaks at Jewish
Center in 10Th
Anniversary Event

A forceful plea for Boy Scouts to
preserve and protect their freedom
under the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights was delivered by District
Scout Executive Linn c. Drake last
night before Troop No. 73 at the
Jewish Community Center.
His address, including condemna-
ton of European relationships and
their destruction of freedom, was
part of the troops celebration of
the 29th anniversary of the founding
of the Boy Scout movement.
District observance of the ami
versary will continue today with
Protestant and Catholic spiritual
services at Washington Cathedral
and Sacred Heart Church. The
cathedral service will begin at $3.50
pm. with Mr.. Drake presenting the
District of Columbia flag to the Right
Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of
Washington. Hundreds of Scouts
will attend the cathedral rites and
the Catholic services which begin
at the same hour.
Conditions Contrasted.
Mr.. Drake contrasted for the
Jewish Scouts and number of adult
Jewish leaders the intolerance pre-
vailing in some European countries
today and the freedom enjoyed in
the United States, especially with
regard to youth movements.
I'm Germany" he declared, there
is no right of self-expression. In
the United States, the Bill of Rights
still obtains, with freedom of as
sembly and religion and with the
right to express ourselves.
The Boy Scout movement has
been prescribed in Germany and
Italy because the dictators can
not adhere to the Scout program
to do a good deed every day and to
live in the spirit of brotherhood.
In those countries they educate
youth to do the will of the state
alone, Here, freedom of the press
prevails. In Germany it is dead"

Board of the Jewish Center, pre-
sented to the troop flag as a gift

Influenza Outbreak
Is Threatened Here,
Dr.. Rutland Warns
Precautions Urged in
Reporting Prevalence
Of Mild Form

Cooperation of the public is
needed to prevent serious cpl
demic" of influenza in the District,
Health Officer George c. Rutland
warned yesterday as he reported the
disease now was prevalent in a
mild form and was increasing in its
incidence.
DR.. Ruhland said there were q
reported cases and eight deaths at
tributed to influenza since January
/, slightly more than occurred in
the same period a year ago, and
recalled that the Health Depart
ment had predicted last December
there would be an increase in the
incidence of the disease early this
year.
In a statement, dictated to M. P.
Isaminger, Health Department pub
licist, DR.. Rutland said:
There is no doubt in my mind
that influenza is increasing in the
community.
Precautions Urged.
"This was predicted in a release
to the public during the Christmas
holiday season. At that time DR..
Rutland warned that the public
should be on the lookout for inf1u-
enza. Although the official reports
do not indicate an epidemic, other
non official reports from institutions
and hospitals show the prevalence
of a mild form of influenza. We
wish to emphasize the Importance
of taking precautions.
"Any person with symptoms OF q
cold should not mingle with other
people.
"We need the cooperation of the
public now in order to avert seri-
Gus epidemic.
"All persons with symptoms of a
erippy nature, especially if over
taken suddenly, should not fail to
20 to bed and call physician.
IF this advice is followed, 1t will
help to prevent complications such
as pneumonia.
Pneumonia Less Prevalent.
"The official records, though they
do not give a complete picture o1
influenza in the community, show
% reported cases and eight deaths
from influenza since January l
slightly more than last year at this

Senate Group Named
To Study D. {. Fire
Insurance Rates
Review of Local Bills
Planned This Week by
Full Committee

A special subcommittee was ap-
pointed yesterday by Chairman
King of the Senate District Com,
mittee to consider the Commission
ers' bill for the regulation of fire
insurance rates. The subcommittee
is composed of Senators Tydings of
Maryland, Holman of Oregon and
McCarran of Nevada.
Meanwhile Chairman King said
he expected to call meeting of the
entire committee this week to go
over the list of local measures intro
duced thus far. Some probably will
be acted on Immediately and others
referred to subcommittee.
One of the most important meas
ures awaiting consideration is the
Overton bill to establish a definite
formula for fixing the Federal pay
ment toward the expenses of the
District.
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana, chairman of the District
Subcommittee of the Appropriations
Committee, has proposed that the
Federal payment be based on the
percentage of the land area In the
District used for Federal purposes,
plus half the park area, which is
the excess of park area here over
comparable cities. 1t has been esti-
mated this formula would make the
Federal share 20 per cent, and if
applied to the general fund ex-
penses for the coming year would
be $8015,9 $3.50. At present the lump
sum payment, not based on any
formula, is $5,000,000.
Other bills awaiting committee
action include: To strengthen the
small loan law; to regulate the num-
ber of taxicabs; to shorten the hours
of District firemen; to amend the
banking laws; to regulate the prac-
tice of professional engineering and
a number of smaller measures.

than one half of the entire popula-
ton of America has deserted the
Christian churches. They are to be
beckoned back to God, lin the sacred
name of whatsoever they retain OF
Christ's eternal teachings"
Other Speakers.
With the groWnups and the youth
of America fighting side by side for
reincarnation of spiritual values,
Archbiship Curley said yesterday he
could see no obstacle that could not
be overcome: I'VE shall train our
youth, from elementary classes to
mature life. in their duties as citi-
zens, and in the knowledge that ful-
filling those duties they must forever
defend their rights as freemen un-
der our glorious flag of liberty"

Very Rev. Aloysius j. Burggraff,
