House Tax Group TO Delay
Decision on New Rate
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Doughton announced
yesterday that the House Ways and
Means Committee had decided to
defer a final decision on any new
tax rate until it had approved tenta-
lively all the levies to be included
in the 50 500, 100000 new tax bill,
Heretofore, the committee has
been making public. step by step,
each major decision as it was
reached.
Representative Doughton said the
new policy was decided on because
the committee wanted to maintain
a balanced ratio" in the burden of
the new levies-that is. to avoid
raising an undue proportion of the
new revenue through higher taxes
on individual incomes, corporate ex-
cess profits or other major sources
Two Republican members told re-
porters they thought the committee
majority intended to delay action
on the bill until after the United
States goes to war" when its enact
ment might be easier, but neither
would permit quotation by name.
Mr.. Doughton said these sugges-
lions were very unjust"

into Pennsylvania avenue. Cars en-
terlng from the two streets neces-
sarily had to alternate IN proceed
ing. Blaring horns we're used not
to prevent damage to Tenders but
to bluff and gain competitive ad-
vantage in speed.
4. Certain streetcar motormen
rang their bells as mater of
course when swinging around the
corner whether or not any We
hicle or pedestrian was in the way.
There was no need for this, as the
actions of other motormen showed.
5. Motorists repeatedly honked tu-
riousIy at pedestrians when they
wished to turn. Since the pedes-
trians had the right of way. 1t was a
double violation of law TO attempt
to scare them off the street.
Arrests at Low Level.
Certain OF these violations could
scarcely have been noticed by the
traffic policeman, busy in manag-
ing ruSh-hour conditions. At other
times he was possibly too busy to
reprimand violators. 1t must be
noted. however, that he found time
to leave his post on one occasion
to order a taxi away from a no
parking zone. and twice to enter q
corner drugstore for glass Of
water.
Police Court records indicate that
the anti-noise arrests are gaining
momentum, but are still at a rather
low level. Court figures for the
week follow:
Monday-For needless horn blow
ing, one So fine, one 81 fine and
one three-day Jail sentence. For
muff7er violation, one S. collateral
forfeited
Tuesday-For horn blowing, one
SO fine. one 81 fine. one 81 fine
and one suspended sentence
Wednesday-For horn blowing,
one $40 collateral forfeited, two IS
fines
Thursday-No convictions.
Friday-For horn blowing. one
$40 forfeiture, two 50 fines, one 81
fine and three IS fines.
Yesterday-For defective muffier,
one $40 forfeiture. For horn blow
ing, two $40 forfeitures, one 50 fine,
one S. fine or five days in Jail. one
