Change Expected Today
In Shufer's Condition

A definite change" is expected to-
day in the condition of Represen-
tative Shafer, Republican, of Michi-
gan, who is in a serious condition at
Salem, Ohio, from injuries suffered
in an automobile accident.
The 45-year-old Battle Greek
Representative. member of the
House District Committee, showed
no improvement up to last night,
hospital attendants said, according
to the Associated Press.
Mr.. Shafer was under the care of
a brain specialist. He apparently
was suffering mostly from a severe
head wound. He also had a broken
verterbra, deep cut on his right
leg and he was suffering from shock.
He was en- route to Three Rivers,
Mich, to attend the funeral of his
father, John Mcclellan Shafer,
when his car swerved from the high
way near Salem and crashed into a
tree.

Bankhead Gives GaveI
To Civic Federation

The gavel used in the past session
of Congress In the House-a gift
from Speaker Bankhead--was pre-
sented last night to the Federation
Of Civic. Associations.
Horace Sprague, delegate to the
Federation from the Eastland Gar
dens Civic Association, presented
the gavel to the group at a meeting
last night in the District Building.
Resolutions of thanks were dis
patched to Speaker Bankhead.
The Social Service Committee,
headed by Mrs. Edna Payton, sub
mitted commencing report on the
work of the Industrial Home School
at Blue Plains. The report, which
was adopted by the Federation, rec
commended one additional academic
instructor, addition of courses in
printing and tailoring, N addi-
tional appropriation for MAIN
tenance and the erection of a
combination gymnasium and audi
torium on the school grounds.
Congress was asked in a resolu-
tion why no provision had been
made for Company A of the 372d
Regiment in the new National
Guard Armory and why that regi-
ment has not been expanded into
a battalion. A bill, now pending
in Congress, for the establishment
of a Board of Morticians was also
favored by the colored group. A
committee was named to study
zoning laws, with particular refer
ence to the establishment of liquor
stores in the proximity of schools

Meeting Called in Fight
On Income Tax Repeal

A mass meeting to consider i'm
mediate action to prevent repeal OF
the present income tax law in the
District and substitute for it a sales
tax plan now under consideration
by the House was to be held this
afternoon at the Y. w. c. A.
Herbert s. Wood, tax expert with
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, was
scheduled to address the session
called by the Consumers Conference
on High Prices and Profiteering.
The meeting was to be asked to
consider Endorsement of an amend
ment to the present income tax law
in lieu of the proposed outright
appeal.
In announcing the meeting
Samuel Schmerler, temporary chair
man of the conference, said that the

Support for Naming
Bona Eide Resident
Voiced al Capitol
King and Randolph
Reported in Accord on
Appointee Principle

Sentiment in support of the Sc
lection of a bona fide Washingto-
nian to fill the vacancy caused by
the impending resignation Of Com
missioner Allen gained momentum
at the Capitol yesterday.
Chairman King Of the Senate
District Committee, back at his
desk following a brief illness, said
he hoped the appointment will go
to some local resident thoroughly
familiar with District affairs, and
that the place would be filled with
out delay.
On the House side, Chairman
Randolph of the House District
Committee was reported to be in
accord with the view that the ap-
pointee should be bona flde Dis
trict resident.
The Organic Act of 1873 requires
that civilian Commissioner must
have been a resident of the Dis
trict for three years preceding ap-
pointment, and have claimed resi-
dence nowhere else during that
time.
Senator King withheld judgment
on the new combination sales tax
income levy to be considered in the
House Monday to take the place
after this year of the personal in
come tax. He announced, however
that when the House has passed
the bill he will name a special SUBJ
committee to give it thorough study

Proposed Rule Bans
School Property Use
For Private Profits
Recreation Committee
Drofts New Regulations
On Buildings

Use Of District school property
for Commercial uses, for private
profit or for money raising pur-
poses is banned in a new group of
rules governing community use Of
school buildings submitted by Rec
reation Director Lewis r. Barrett
for the approval of the Commis-
sioners and the School Board at a
meeting of the District Recreation
Committee yesterday.
Exception is made for certain
groups, such as parent-teacher as
sociations and the Community Gen.
ter and Playground Department.
The committee is composed Of
the District Commissioners, Mrs.
Henry Grattan Doyle, president Of
the School Board: c. Melvin Sharpe,
School Board member, and John H.
Wilson, senior colored member OF
the School Board.
The proposed new rules would
change those now in force in many
instances. The principal one, how
ever, relates to the use of buildings
where money is involved.
The rule now in force permits
activities in which money Is re-
ceived but no profit is derived. The
new rule would prohibit any activ-
ity regardless of profit or the cause
for which the money is sought.
From a reliable source it was
learned that the chief reason for
the proposal to strengthen the rule
is that it was believed persons using
the schools were taking advantage
of the non-profit regulation. Ac-
counts turned over to school officials
have shown expenses balancing the
outgo, and oficials suspect juggling
of funds.
The Resolution Committee took
no action on the new rules yester-
day. When it does the rules still will
have to be presented to the entire
membership of the School Board for
ratification.

Washington Jewry
beqins Feast Of Purim

Washington Jewry at sundown
today begins the Feast of Purim,
which commentaries the deliver
ance of the Jews in Persia from a
tyrant who plotted to destroy Ulem.
Also known as the Feast of Esther
and the Feast of Lots, the observ-
ance Is happy one, with giving
Of gifts and eating of special foods.
A traditional part of the cere-
mony is the reading Of the scroll
OF Esther in the synagogues. Known
as the Purim Megillah, it tells the
story of Queen Esther's efforts to
save the Jews from being de-
stroyed by Haman, courier to King
AhasueruS.
The feast falls on the thirteenth
day of Adar in the Jewish calendar
and is called the Feast of Lots be-
cause it was the time that lots were
said to have been cast to determine
the day of the Jews fate.
Purim falls a month before Pass
over in the Jewish calendar and
Passover usually comedies with the
observance of Easter. The differ
ence in calendars accounts for the
fact that Purim and Easter are
marked at the same time this year
The Purim festival will end at
sundown tomorrow. Tonight Jewry
will feast on hamantaschen," or
Haman's pocket. Two explanations
for the name of the triangular
shaped cakes are that they SYM
bolize Haman's plot to destroy the
Jewish people so that he nigh,
conf1scate their property and line
his pockets with gold and that they
bear their triangular shape in imi.

Sales Tax Would Apply
To All Purchases Of
; Gents or More
Scent Limitation Left
Out of Revised Druft of
Bill, Seal Reveals

An examination of the final re-
vised copy of the Districts proposed
new tax program yesterday dis
closed that the retail sales tax fea-
ture of the measure would apply to
articles selling for less than cents.
House members in charge of the
bill had indicated that articles SELL
ing for less than cents would be
exempt from the sales tax. but Dis
trict officials, after studying the
language of the bill, figured that
actually purchases of 3 and 4 cent
articles would be subject to the levy.
The bill calls for collection of
per cent tax on retail sales and pro-
vides for collection of the tax in
tokens, which the Commissioners
would issue in denominations Of l
mill and mills.
81, Major Fraction Counts as Mill,
1t further provides that in the
collection of the tax a fractional
pdlU Va d llll11 Slldll NC uAol CSdl OCu
unless it amounts to one-half mill
or more, in which case it would be
considered mill.
Thus, a tax of / mill would be
collected on a Accent purchase. The
tax actually would be four-fifths OF
mill, but since this is more than
a half mill. it would be increased to
l mill. This would also hold true
for an article selling for 3 cents,
since the tax in this case would be
three -ffths of a mill.
Left Out Through Oversight.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H
Seal said it had been intended to
put in language that would have
set the minimum base of the sales
tax at cents, but that it must have
been left out through an oversight
He said ne would take the matter
up Monday with Chairman Nichols
of the Fiscal Affairs Subcommittee
of the House District Committee
and added that an amendment to
correct the oversight" probably
would be offered from the floor when
the House considers the bill.
Chairman Nichols was out of the
city today and couldn't be reached
for comment.

High School Officials
Planning Study Of
Fraternity Problem
l.. =.t s~ss .r- ,f .st=i... - ia
Parents Letter Again.
Raises, Question of. ...,.
Activities Bon

School officers and high school
principals are expected to confer
in the near future on the problem
of recognized and unrecognized
fraternities and sororities in the
District senior high schools.
The matter has been under con-
sideration several times before and
was reported on by the high school
principals following the dropping of
certain students from woodrow
Wilson High School activities as a
result of their participation in non
recognized organizations.
Under rules of the Board of Edu-
cation students belonging to non
recognized groups are ineligible to
participate in ordinary high school
activities.
The question came up again this
week in connection with a letter
written to the Board of Education
by a parent in behalf of his son and
several other boys at Woodrow
Wilson.
He asked indulgence for the stu
dents, pointing out that they are
barred from holding any school
Office or receiving other recognition
as result of their. own frankness
in admitting to the principal their
membership in the forbidden organ
izations.
Society gives the criminal an
other chance" he said, and added
that high school constitutes such a
short span of years that missing its
activities tends to deprive the stu
dent of its advantages.
The fathers letter was referred to
Supt. Frank w. Ballou for report.
At the same meeting at which the
fathers letter was presented to the
School Board, the members voted
to recognize two fraternities and one
sorority at Woodrow Wilson.
