 Brigadier General Thomas Rob- ins, assistant Chief. of Army En- eineers, told the Committee that

WASHINGTON, March 2l. = Much has been written of the boom towns of national defense = the cities of workers and families that spring up overnight as thousands of men pour in to build the bar racks, houses, sheds and shops that go to make up the cantonments But there is another side of the picture.
 Small towns-and even larger ones-are being stripped of car penters, tinsmiths and the other skilled and semi-skilled workers who keep a city shipshape.
 Scores of small-town business and civic leaders have descended on Washington, trying to rush ano widen the Governments decen- tralization program, and, with de- fense contracts, trying to stop the drain on their communities. have talked to SO many of these anc I have heard again and again the same story.

WASHINGTON, March N.-The Army's plan to change the terminus of the Alaska Railroad from Seward to Passage Bay was today described by Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond as plan to economically "plow under" the people of Seward.
 Army officers and Col. Otto F Ohlson, General Manager of the Alaska Railroad urged the change as a military necessity during the hearing on the Fifth Supplemental Defense Appropriation bill, intro1uc- ed today.
 Under the plan, IA new miles of track must be constructed to join the present railroad line at Mile 66, above Seward, thus saving 52 miles of haul from tidewater.
 Estimated Cost
 The work is estimated to cost $3, 500, ,OOO with two tunnels neces- sary, one 13,7000 feet and the other 490O feet long.
 Col. Ohlson and the Army Of- ficers testified that the present line between Seward and Mile 66 is il, dangerous condition, subject te washcuts and landslides ana pre- sented ideal conditions for sabotage 1 Delegate Dimond urged that ths present dangerous trestles and bridg- es be replaced with steel structure. and fills made.

 Col Ohlson also said the construc. tion of the line with the new ter. minus would mean a saving 1T freight and other costs the Govern. ment would pay.

 Col. Ohlson admitted the railroat employees are opposed to the change and suggested the Government coult finance the new homes or coult erect the homes and charge rent.

WASHINGTON-Despite the Army's attempted crack-down on plane manufacturers to quit turn ing out commercial craft, it is now definitely confirmed that the British are still selling few com- mercial planes to South America.
 This is viewed with mixed feei- ings in Administration circles: em- barrassment because Roosevelt has urged such speed in production for Britain: approval because or the confidence in Britain reactlon which plane sales are bound to create in Latin America.
 This is what the German boast ed they could do last year, although they were unable to deliver their planes because of the blockade.
 At any rate, whether the United States likes it or not, General Air craft, a British company, recently sent Cygnet plane to Brazil as a display model to entice orders The company's agent reported from Rio de Janeiro, "The prospect for orders for your planes is encourag- ing, and I must say that the Cyg- net is very captivating thins you may look to receiving orders for at least four, possibly more Cygnets very soon in Rio alone

Yugoslavia's Crown Council has decided to join the Rome-Berlin- Tokyo Alliance.
 The decision gives Hitler the "go' signal for his expected invasion of Greece.
 At the same time the decision of the Crown Council has precipitat- ed a Government crisis and three Yugoslavia Cabinet Ministers have angrily preferred their resignations.
 Belgrade dispatches said the Ministers predict that serious in- ternal strife will develop in Yugo- slavia.
 Regent Prince Paul, acting for boy King Peter, has subsequently, refused to accept any Cabinet res- ignations, declaring that no one will be allowed to quit their of ficial posts until the Alliance pact is actually signed.
 German quarters declare the sig nature of Yugoslavia will be placed on the Rome Berlin Tokyo Alliance next Sunday.
 Yugoslavian officials, Premier and Foreign Ministers, are slated to leave tonight or tomorrow for Wiz enna.
 Serbian feelings against the Gov ernment's decision is reported mounting feverishly. Pictures of President Roosevelt, of the United States, and British Prime Minister Churchill are displayed publicly in many towns, according to reports.

Hearings Slated
On Revamping
District Taxes
Sales Levy Advocates
Warned by Dirksen
Of Determined Fight
By JAMES E. CHINN.

Extensive public hearings were
contemplated today by the Fiscal
Affairs Subcommittee of the House
District Committee on proposals to
revamp the local tax structure.
Chairman Hunter is expected to
call the initial hearing within the
next several days.
The subcommittee, according to
present indications, will have two
issues before it-whether to amend
the existing income tax law or scrap
1t and recommend as substitute
general sales tax
sales tax plan, however. ac-
cording to Representative Dirksen,
Republican, of Illinois, will meet a
"blitzkrieg" in the House If it ever
gets out Of the District Committee.
He is the ranking minority member
OF the committee and champion Of
the present income tax law.
Income Tax Change Pending.
The only proposed legislation now
before the Fiscal Affairs Subcom-
mittee is a bill introduced at the
request Of the Commissioners to
clarity the present income tax law.
1t would change the definition Of
"domicile" so the tax would be ap-
piled to all persons residing here
for six months or more in a taxable
year and apply also to salaries
earned in the District by non-resi-
dents, with credits allowed for in
come taxes paid in the States in
which they live. Several of the
members of the subcommittee, how
ever, believe sales tax should be
substituted for the income tax. The
most ardent advocate Of the sales
tax is Representative Hebert. DEM
ocrat, of Louisiana. who was add
ed to the subcommittee yesterday
at the time Representative Hunt
er, Democrat, of Ohio was named
chairman.
Il will resist with my utmost
efforts any move to replace the in
come tax here with a sales tax"
declared Representative Dirksen.
Every one knows what happened
in the House the list time an at
tempt was made to have a sales tax
9dopted in the District. The same
thinr will hoD0en eTain.
Would Perfect Present Law.
"I have consistently opposed
sales tax because it will fall most
heavily on those least able to pay.
And I am ready to fight it again.
There is no occasion to substitute
sales tax for an income tax here.
The thing to DO is to perfect the
existing income tax law as suggested
by the Commissioners, and in due
course it will work out and produce
all the necessary revenue.
THE present law has f1eXibility
and the fact it required some court
decisions are not important. The
Federal Income Tax Act of 1913 has
been subject to litigation ever since
it has been on the statute books.
That is to be expected of a flexible
act-cuestions Of Interpretation are
bound to arise. Vet no one has ad-
vocatod repeal of the Federal Income
Tov Act.
Il am sotiefod that the present
loc9l income tav Law, properly
9mended tn eliminate certain in
e~Uitios. will be far better than a
s@'eS tax law.
Lets give it a chance to work
and see what it will do"
