District Will Request
Funds 10 Certify
W. P. A. Workers
Commissioners Will
Send New Estimutes
To Budget Bureau

Requests for both deficiency and
annual appropriations. out of Dis
trict revenues, for the city govern.
ment to assume the full cost OF
certification of persons for w. P. A.
jobs here and for certification OF
w. P. A. workers for receipt OF
surplus commodities, will be made
by the Board of Commissioners.
Bowling to declarations by Col. F.
G. Harrington, the Federal w. P. A.
commissioner, that local commune
ties must assume such costs as soon
as possible. the Commissioners de.
cided to place the proposed new
District estimates before the Budget
Bureau. and If that agency ap-
proves, before Congress.
Col. David McCoach, jr., the En-
gineer Commissioner, said he would
have to agree with Col. Harrington
that the burden appeared to be
one for local Jurisdictions. since
many State and local governments
now are bearing such costs.
The issue, which has been de.
ferred for some months, came to a
head last week when Welfare Direc-
tor Robert E. Bondy called the at
tention of the Commissioners to
Col. Harringtons ruling and pro-
posed an outlay of some $50 900 for
the next fiscal year to take care
OF the program and a deficiency
appropriatiutof $22 2,315 for the last
flve months 81 this fiscal year.
Should Congress pass on the ques-
ton later than February l, the
deficiency item for the remainder
of this fiscal year would be cores
pondingly reduced, it was under
stood. The program outlined by the
welfare director called for the en-
ployment of 80 additional workers
for the Public Assistance Division
The Commissioners said they had
not yet determined just what ap-
preparations would be necessary.

D. {. Commissioners
Promise Inquiry
Al Blue Plains
Institutions Deficiencies
Will Be Thoroughly
Investigated

Thorough examination of the de-
flciencies of the plant, program and
number of employees at the Districts
Home for Aged and Inf1rm, at Blue
Plains. was promised yesterday by
the Commissioners as a result of
Mrs. Roosevelt's statement about
the institution Friday.
There were some prospects that
the Commissioners may seek in
creased appropriations for the Home
for Aged, as Col. David McCoach, jr.,
planned to make a personal survey
of needs Of the home. He said he
would submit recommendations to
the Board of Commissioners. Earlier
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen had
announced the board would give
very careful consideration to the
deficiencies discussed by Mrs. Roose-
welt. E
Randolph Makes Statement.
Meanwhile, Chairman Randolph
Of the House District Committee
said the visit of Mrs. Roosevelt
should be helpful" in bringing to
the attention of the Commissioners
and Congress conditions that exist
at the institution.
Representative Randolph explain
ed he had never visited the institu-
ton and was unaware of the condi-
tions that exist there. He pointed
cat that while his committee has no
control over the appropriations for
its maintenance and operation, he
felt certain the members would be
"sympathetic' in supporting any
recommendations for Improvements.
Says Visit Was Fortunate.
"It Is fortunate that Mrs. Roose-
welt, despite her busy schedule,
found time to visit the Home for the
Aged" declared Mr.. Randolph. Tier
observations should be helpful in
bringing to the attention of the
Commissioners and Congress any
conditions that should be alleviated." !"
Mrs. Roosevelt, who made q pre-
viously rnheralded inspection tour
of the home, accompanied by Mrs.
Henry Morgenthau, said afterward
the home seemed like a prison" Of
some 20 or 30 years ago where in
mates were herded. together" She
said she was tremendously disap-
pointed" in the institution, that it
was below standards Of decency"
both as to the plant and appropria-
tions granted by Congress for up
keep and personnel.
DR.. Francis E. Townsend, old age
pension champion, said yesterday,
after visit to Blue Plains, that Mrs.
Roosevelt's remark was "a model
Of understatement."
"The District dumps its sewerage
and its aged inffrm to rot together
just across the Anacostia." he said.
II am unspeakabfy shocked by the
things ! saw ct Blue PlAins."

Speedy Action
Hoped on Tax
PaynlentSp|it
Senator King to Urge
Prompt Approval
Of Proposal
BY DON 3. WARREN


Speedy congressional action seemed
assured yesterday on the proposal Of
the Commissioned to amend the
Districts income tax law 50 as to
permit semi-annual payments of the
tax by April IS and October IS, as .
substitute for the present require
ment of one full payment by March
IS. 49,.
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee announced his ap-
proval of the plan and stands ready
to urge the prompt action required
if the legislation is to be enacted in
time to change the March IS dead
line.
Members Of the House District
Committee also have voiced approval
Of the plan, which was developed in
response to protests from many pros
pective taxpayers that too heavy q
load of taxes, District and Federal,
fall due next month.
Approved by Budget Bureau.
Earlier yesterday. the Federal
Budget Bureau gave the Commis-
sioners the green light for their pro-
posed request to Congress for the
amendment. The proposed bill had
been sent to the bureau for review
there to determine If the measure
was contrary to the program of the
President. ,-..
The bureau suggested one minor
change. The Commissioners had
requested that the Secretary of the
Treasury be authorized to make ad-
vances of funds to the District in
future fiscal years If this is found
necessary to prevent q lack of suffi-
cient operating cash, resulting from
postponement of the income tax pay
ments. The Budget Bureau called
for a change to restrict this author
ity to the next fiscal year.
Senator King said he had received
a number OF requests for providing
for semi-annual payments of the
income tax and some others for
quarterly payments. However, he
said he would support the plan as
offered by the Commissioners, in
keeping with his general practice of
supporting them whenever he can.
Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Seal planned to take the measure
to Senate and House leaders tomor-
row.
Commissioners Statement.
In a formal statement on the pro-
posed measure, Commissioner Mel
viHC. Haxen, president of the Board
eofs Commissioners, said: d. -
Che Commissioners believe that
the requirement of the existing law
that the entire income tax be paid
on the 18th day of March of each
year works an undue hardship upon
the taxpayer of the District, mas
much as the first installment of
the Federal income tax is due on
the same date and the automobile
registration tax and the second in
stallment of the District of Col
umbia real estate and personal
property taxes are due in the
month of March"
In addition to deferring the pay
ments, the proposed plan also sWould
postpone from March IS to April
Is the final date for the filing of
the personal income tax returns.
Also, the bill would permit busi-
nesses operated on a fiscal year
basis to file their returns on the
18th day of the fourth month fol-
lowing the end of their fiscal year

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

ny lHohNAOF W. DO"oGoC'
Reddy Fox was growing bold.
Everybody said so, and what every
body says must be so. Reddy Fox
had always been very sly and not
bold at all. The truth is, Reddy
Fox had so many times fooled
Bowser the Hound and Farmer
Browns boy that he had begun to
think himself very smart indeed.
He had really fooled himself. Yes,
sir, Reddy Fox had fooled himself.
He thought himself so smart that
nobody could fool him.
Now, it is bad habit, a very bad
habit, to think too much of ones
self. 1t is one of the worst habits
in the world. And Reddy Fox had
the habit. Oh, my, yes. Reddy Fox
certainly did have the habit! When
any one mentioned Bowser the
Hound, Reddy would turn up his
nose and say: Pooh! It's the
easiest thing in the world to fool
him"
Whenever Reddy saw Farmer
Browns boy he would say with the
greatest scorn: who's afraid of
him? Not II"
So as Reddy Fox thought more
and more of his own smartness he
grew bolder and bolder. Almost
every night he visited Farmer
Browns hen yard Farmer Brown
set traps all around the yard, but
Reddy always found them and kept
out OF them. 1t got so that Unc'
Billy Possum and Jimmy Skunk
didn't care to go to the hen house
for eggs any more for fear that
they would get into one of the
traps set for Reddy Fox. Of course,
they missed those fresh eggs and,
Of course, they blamed Reddy Fox
Never mind" said Jimmy Skunk
scoWling down on the Green Mea-
dows where Reddy Fox was taking
a sun bath, Farmer Browns boy
will get him yet! I hope he does!"
Jimmy said this little spitefully
and just as if he really meant it.
! Now, when people think that they
are very, very smart they like to
show off. You know it isn't any fun
at all to feel smart, unless others
can see how smart you are. So
Reddy Fox, just to show off, grew
very bold, very bold indeed. He
actually went up to Farmer Browns
hen yard in broad daylight, and,
almost under the nose of Bowser
the Hound. he caught the pet
chicken of Farmer Browns boy.
or MStah Buzzard, sailing over
head high up in the blue, blue sky,
saw Reddy Fox and shook his bald
head as he said:
"Ah see trouble on the way;
Yes, All do! Yes, All do!
Hope it amt gwine to stay;
Yes, All do! Yes, All do!
Trouble am spry oil man;
Bound to find yo' if he can:
If he finds yo' bound to stick
When All sees him All runs quick!
Yes, All do! Yes, All dol"
But Reddy Fox thought himself
so smart that it seemed as if he
really was hunting for OF Mr..
Trouble And when he caught the
pet chicken of Farmer Browns boy
OF Mr.. Trouble was right at his
heels.
