and he did do that-and the Sec
ond inaugural four years later was
a Psalm of mourning over the woe
and desolation and human contra
dictions involved.
Lincoln got acquainted with the
same thing that Clemenceau de-
scribed after the first World War as
the grandeur and misery of victory.
Whoever wins the present European
war is going to have possibly little
drab grandeur. but he's sure going
to have some misery, too
Il never stopped being surprised
at the wide variety of materials
which came to light in those II years
of concentration upon the war years,
fragments sometimes which cast a
big slant of light on Lincoln's char
acter.
Looked After War.
Lincoln was beside Maj. Gen.
Darius N. Couch, a corps COM
mander of the Army of the Potomac,
one day, looking at the grandest,
most panoplied military review ever
staged in the Western World. For
hour after hour the companies and
regiments passed by, thousands of
troops on parade Lincoln turned
on his horse and asked Couch:
What's going to become of all these
boys after the wars over?'
His great labor done, Sandburg
acknowledged that II couldn't have
gone on with the job if Lincoln had
not worn so we'll: in his laughter
was nothing forced-and his pity
and grief ran deep.
Il set out to write the kind of
Lincoln book I wanted when I was
boy, and I knew that if I were to
write the story for the young men
Of today and of the future it would
have to be done as had wished
years ago.
That way was to put down a
statement of facts, but with the
turmoil and mystery delivered, too.
1t would be like III fight, fight
in the dark sometimes. You could
hear the cries, but you wouldn't
always know who was in on it, nor
who was getting hurt"
When a man 81 years old has
written so many golden words and
has completed what really was an
act of transcendent faith with such
beauty of craftsmanship. he feels
like resting. So it is-for the time

NCOQJlnuGQ from tlTSJ fdRe,)
the first witness today, gave whole
hearted Endorsement to the tax pro-
gram. He said Dr. Pond has done
the best job that has been done in
the last several years concerning
any phase of our government.
''In approving this proposed rev.
enue-raising plan for the next sew
en- years" said Mr.. Lusk, I'VE wish
to make it plain that we do not
subscribe to the theory, as outlined
in DR.. Ponds report and based on
estimates of District officials, that
our general government costs must
be $10000,000 greater in 1947 than
for the coming year. This means
that running the city will have in
creased three times as fast as our
population since the war. It's time
to call a halt. There's a limit to
what can be paid.
This plan, as nearly as possible,
meets the essentials of desirable
and fair system of taxation for our
city.
Realty Interest Would Benefit.
If it be adopted in Its essentials,
It will prevent an increase in the
real estate rate which now bears
far too high a proportion of the
total tax burden and will enable
that rate to be reduced below $1.75
perhaps to $3.50 for the next two
years. The repeal of the intangible
tax, which is one of the most un-
fair taxes ever conceived, will re-
ieve what often amounts to
crushing lo6d upon those with small
incomes who are dependent upon
securities for a livelihood. Such
peolpe are now paying from 10 to
Is per cent tax on incomes that
may be as low at $1,000 year.
I'VE feel that the Pond tax pro-
gram must be considered in its en-
tirety. There are undoubtedly some
bugs in it, but unless all the taxes
proposed are considered together,
the value of the whole plan may be
lost. 1t is the first attempt in many
years to secure comprehensive and
fair tax system for the District. 1t
should solve our tax problems for
several years to come"
Would Surtax Land Values.
Benjamin C. Marsh, executive
secretary of the Peoples Lobby,
Inc, however, denounced the tax
plan.
Mr.. Marsh suggested l or per
cent surtax on land values and
small and not too rapidly progress
sive income tax, with Federal eX-
emptions and repeal of consumption
taxes. Consumption taxes. he argued,
hurt legitimate business, keep up
rents and soak" little home owners
'for the benefit of owners of valu-
able land In the center of the city"
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, represent
ing the District Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, the Women's City Club
and the Kalorama Citizens Associa-
ton, outlined the action of those
groups on the tax program.
She said the Federation Of Wom-

Pope and Germans
Reported Discussing
Church Situation
Hope Expressed Reich
And Vatican Relations
May Be Improved
b the Associated Press.

- the Associated Press.
VATICAN CITY, March 9.-Au-
thoritative Germans reported today
that Pope Plus XII had discussed
the church situation in Germany
when he received the four German
cardinals on Monday.
They said 1t was impossible to dis
close the nature of the discussion
because of the great delicacy of the
situation"
German quarters, however, ex-
pressed hope that relations between
the Vatican and Germany might be
improved.
The four German princes of the
church are: Michael Cardinal Won
Faulhaber, Archbishop of Munich;
Karl Joseph Cardinal Schultz, Arch
bishop of Cologne: Theodore Cardi-
nal 1nnitzer, Archbishop of Vienna,
and Johannes Adolf Cardinal Bert
ram. Archbishop of Breslau.
Officials at the German Embassy
asserted nothing was known there
Of a message Chancellor Hitler was
reported to have sent the pontiff.
Congratulations Reported.
Berlin dispatches published in the
italian press said Diego Won Bergen,
German Ambassador to the holy see,
delivered message of congratula-
tion from Hitler to the Pope when
he called four days ago.
The dispatches said the message
pleased Vatican circles as the action
OF the Pope in granting an audience
to the German envoy had pleased
the Nazis.
The Vatican. however, still de-
clined to confirm the audience which
Won Bergen was supposed to have
had as dean of the diplomatic corps,
position in which he customarily
would be among the first to con-
gratulate the new Pope.
1n Berlin. the authoritative
news service Dienst Aus Deutsch-
land yesterday said information
received there indicated after the
talk of the German Ambassador
and the Pope that Plus XII would
take a neutral stand" toward
various state systems.

THE group I represent" she de-

Tax Committee has evolved the
surest and fairest method to arrive

THE reason why the sales tax can
raise revenue without resting so Sc
verely on any one group or combina-
ton of groups is because all groups
contribute something without pay
ing on the bare necessities of food

People with investment income

regarding the church-political
course of the new Pope could be

appears to, have made definite
statements that an absolutely

the church toward various state
