Seal Backs Elected
Advisory Board for
D. {. in Revamping
Tells Columbia Heights
Citizens He Also Fuvors
Vote for President

Suggestions for face lifting" the
District government, including one
for an elective citizens advisory
council or board, were made last
night by Elwood H Seal. former
corporation counsel. in a talk before
the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association in the Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church.
recommending an advisory board
as means of bringing the citizen
closer to government, he said the
board should either be appointed or
elected. adding that he thought it
perhaps best that it be elected.
Mr. Seal said that he was opposed
to local suffrage, in so far as the
local government was concerned,
but that he favored the right to
ballot in presidential elections.
Favors d. c. AppOintees.
Mr. Seal, in backing reorganlza-
ton. recommended that depart
ment of finance be established and
that there be a local civil service,
which would not place outsiders
in the Government unless there was
no one in the District Ito fill the
bill
Concerning taxation. Mr.. Seal de-
clared that he favored taxation OF
all property except that of the Gov
ernment. He said the only way to
levy an income tax was to tax not
only those domiciled in the District
but all those who earn their liveli-
hood here. Asked for his views on
the sales tax, Mr.. Seal said a COM
bination of income and sales might
be the solution. He said, however,
that he had opposed the sales tax
when in the Government.
Supports Dies Committee.
A resolution introduced by Mrs
Margaret Worrell, and adopted,
urged Congress to appropriate ST.
100000 for the continuation of the
Dies Committee for the next two
years. 1t further recommended
that all sympathizers with dicta
torial powers be removed from Gov
ernment or national defense en-
ployment without waiting until
irreparable damage has been done" ;"
The resolution charged that al
though the Dies Committee had
brought to the attention of the Gov
ernment information that sympa-
thizers with foreign governments
hold positions in national defense
industries and Government depart
ments, no definite steps had been
taken by the Government to remove
these employees.
Another resolution by Mrs. Wor-
rell. which was not acted upon, con-
demned the Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies for its
alleged efforts TO get this country
into war through the repeal of the
Neutrality Act and all other legisla-
ton that interferes with loaning
money to Britain and sending our
battleships and all other war equip
ment to England" 1t also attacked
the proposal to unite England and
the United States into one body"

 It was pointed out at yesetrday's meeting of the park commissioners that since Dec, 26 there have only been two days when the temper ature was below freezing and only two days when there was no skat- ing at the local parks. Last winter there were only 27 days of skating and. in 1885, 1886 there were only eight skating days. In 1936-1937 there were only three days of skat- ing.
