Court Bars Compensation
For Horsep|ay Injury

Workmen injured as the result of
horseplay are not entitled to COM
pensation from their employer, it
was decided today by the United
States Court of Appeals.
An opinion rendered in the case
OF Frank Fazio, Mayflower Hotel
cafeteria employe, injured March
IL, denied compensation because the
physical disability was incurred in
manner which had no relation to
the employment itself.
When Mr.. Fazio originally applied
for compensation, Deputy Commits
sioner Frank A. Cardillo of the
United States Employees Compensa-
ton Commission rejected the claim.
A mandatory injunction was then
sought which would require the
deputy commissioner to allow COM
pensation. District Court denied
this injunction. Today's opinion
affirmed the lower courts action.
The opinion was written by Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner, who
heard the case with Associate JUS
tice Justin Miller and Fred M. Vim
son. Representing the appellees
were United States Attorney David
A. Pine, Assistant United States At
torney William S.-Tarver and Attor-
neys Arthur ]. Phelan and o. r.

District Income Tax
Blanks Are Nailed;
$4,000 on List
All DomiciIed in City
Must File Returns
By March IS

The District today began mailing
out to 1l4,000 citizens income tax
blanks which must be filed with the
municipal government by March Is
Nearly 20 clerks were busy in the.
income tax Offices in the southeast
corner of the District Building
basement stuffing the blanks into
envelopes and getting them ready
for mailing.
The names were taken from list
of those who filed Federal income
tax returns last year.
Many Queries on "D0miciIe.'
AT the same time the income tax
office was busy answering queries
dealing principally with the mean
ing of the word 'domicMe." 'Yhe tax
applies to all who are domiciled
within the District, and as yet no
rulings have been made to define
specifically the meaning of the word.
Alan F. Brooke, assistant to the
director of the income tax unit, said
the people were being advised in
cases where doubt exists as to
domiciles to file returns under pro-
test with requests for a ruling.
Mr.. Brooke said several members
OF his staff were busy checking the
books on the now extinct business
privilege tax, in the hope of being
able to close up the hangovers from
this levy before the full force of the
administration of the income tax
develops
The blanks will be mailed out at
the rate of about 25,O00 per day, he
said. 1t is similar to the Federal
blank, except for no allowance for
earned income credit for profits or
losses or exchange Of capital assets.
Exemptions permitted are $1,000 for
a single person, S2,5OO for the head
OF a family, and $400 for dependents.
Presumably those who have legal
residence in the States will be
exempt from the tax even though
they earn their income here, it was
said. This would exclude members
of Congress.

Arms Shortage
Guard,
Chief Reports
Troining Facilities
Also Inadequate,
Woodring Told =.

Secretary of War Harry w.
Woodring was told today the lack
of modern arms and adequate facili-
ties for field training are hindering
the development of the National
Guard as vital component part
of the Army" .--
The statement was made in, the
report. of Maj. Gen. Albert H. Bland
ing as chief of the National Guard
Bureau in the 1899 fiscal year. The
report showed the guard totaled
199,491 men. on June 80 at the
close of the fiscal period. This was
an increase of 1903 men during
the year.
Still Handicapped in Training.
In discussing armories, Gen.
Blanding reported that two of the
three here are inadequate. He laud-
ed the action taken by Congress to
provide large, modern armory as
valuable evidence of the deep in
terest of the Federal Government
in the establishment of it's volunteer
citizen soldiery on a thoroughly ef-
ficient footing"
The report showed the local Guard
consisted of 81 officers and 1895 en-
listed men. The units here cost
$432,855 to maintain during the
1889 fiscal period, fourth of which
was spent for anti-aircraft equip
ment.
Gen. Blanding said the guard
units throughout the country made
"a substantial improvement" in
equipment during the year, but are
still handicapped in training.
THE state of training" the re-
port set out, cannot, however,
reach the standard desired until
all units have received their modern
arms and equipment and until reg
ulations for their use have been
adequately distributed and the
troops have had opportunity to
study and put into practice the ap-
pllcable combat principles and tech
niques."
The National Guard head cited
particularly the lack of proper
equipment and training for anti
tank defense. No combat unit
that lacks full knowledge of these
measures he added, can be con-
sidered well trained in a modern
sense.
Cites Gas Mask Shortage.
TO similar degree" he con-
tinued, "and for the same reasons.
chemical warfare training is made
quate in the National Guard. In
previous reports I have commented
on the seriousness of the shortage
OF gas masks, lack that can hardly
be emphasized too strongly.
In any major war our country
may possibly become involved in
there is every reason to believe that
troops may need their gas masks
before they need their weapons.
One of the reasons for lack of
adequate training facilities was de-
scrlbed as "a lack of cooperation
on the part of States toward OBJ
tanning suitable facilities"
He urged the participation of Ma
tional Guard troops in large-scale
Army maneuvers and praised the
National Guard Air Corps as in an
excellent state of readiness to take
the field - : in any type of opera
ton"
