Glass declined to reveal any provi-

Cama|ier 10 Inspect
All D. T.. Institutions
As One Of First Tasks
Senute Committee Adviser
Will Ask Members to
Go Whenever Possible
By J, A, OLEARY,

Shortly after he took over his new
job as expert adviser to the Senate
District Committee today, Renah
F. Camalier announced one of his
first tasks would be a tour of in
spection of all municipal institu-
tions.
Mr.. Camalier said the tour, which
probably will start about September
l. will not be in the nature of an
investigation. but for the purpose
of gaining Iirst-hand information
on how the institutions operate and
how they might be improved.
The committee adviser will ask
members who can do so to accom-
pany him whenever possible. Sena-
tor Burton, Republican, of Ohio,
one of the newer members of the
committee, is a former Mayor of
Cleveland, and Mr.. Camalier will
seek his cooperation because of his
municipal experience.
One of the innovations Senator
McCarran had in mind was to have
the committee adviser attend meet
ings of the District Commissioners
in order to establish closer co-opera-
ton between the committee and the
District Building. The invitation to
attend board meetings already has
been extended to Mr.. Camalier.
District Budget Officer Walter
Fowler probably will accompany Mr..
Camalier on his tour of District
facilities and the information gath
cred is expected to prove helpful in
preparation of the next annual
budget
Mr.. Camalier was at one time an
assistant district attorney in WASH
ington and at the time of his ap-
pointment was secretary to Senator
Adams, Democrat, of Colorado.

House Is Urged
To Tax Assets
Of Labor Unions
Vinson Believes
They Should Pay
Share of Burden
Earlier Story on Page A-2.)

NGdiHCi ctOIs VII a6c h-SJ
BY the Associated Press.
Taxation of the assets of labor un-
ions, exempt under existing revenue
laws, was proposed by Representa-
tive Vinson, Democrat. of Georgia
today as the House began the third
day of debate on the $3,529, 200 900
tax increase bill.
Under a prior agreement. final
action on the unprecedented measude
will go over until Monday.
Directing his remarks specifically
to members of the tax-framing
Ways and Means Committee, Mr..
Vinson asserted that $50 large A. F.
L. and C. I. o. unions had assets of
42,371, ,199 on April /, 194l.
Should Pay Their Share.
He said this represented an in
crease of S4,030,687 over the assets
held by these unions on October l,
1889, when the emergency began,
and that the increase of IL per cent
in their income was due entirely TO
the national emergency
Mr.. Vinson, who is chairman Of
the House Naval Affairs Committee,
said he based his remarks on ques-
tionnaire sent out by that commit
tee as to labor union income. Re-
plies came from los A. F. L. and As
c. I. o. unions.
With the country sorely pressed
for revenue in the emergency" the
Georgian declared, Why shouldn't
these labor organizations pay their
share of the tax burden?"
Joint Returns weighed.
The House heard more argument
on the controversy over the require
ment that all married couples file
joint income tax returns.
Representative Disney, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma said the whole ques-
ton was whether SIT per cent of
the taxpayers were to be allowed
to take advantage of the privilege
of paying lower taxes by filling
separate returns and have the deficit
made up by the other taxpayers.
Representative Buck, Democrat, of
California raised the objection that
the joint return provision would
conflict with State law in the So
called community property States,
In which married persons must"
divide their incomes.

President Ryti Says
Security Is War Motive,
Executive Declares;
Denies Selfish Intent
By the Associated Press.

HELSINKI, Finland, Aug. l.
President Risto Ryti told group of
foreign correspondents from Berlin
today that Finland was fighting for
her rights, had no imperialist am
bitions, hoped to remain friends
with America and desired that after
this war all nations of Europe shall
live in peace.
In an informal chat in Helsinki's
White House during an afternoon
reception he spoke slowly and de-
liberately and readily answered
questions, sometimes in English and
sometimes in German.
Security Is War Goal.
"Finland's war may be summed UP
in one word-security,' the Presi-
dent said
I'VE are fighting because we were
compelled to. We are lucky this
time that we are not standing alone
but have a powerful ally in Ger
many, which is the one large nation
which can successfully defeat Boil
Shevism."
Asked whether the breach of dip
lomatic relations with Britain was
likely to have any effect on Fin
lands relations with the United
States, he relied, mot unless Amer
lea becomes an active ally of Soviet
Russia"
"OtherWise." he said, relations
con 60 on normally just as hereto
fore. In the case of Britain, the
fact she became an active ally OF
Russia naturally gave rise to the
possibility that her diplomatic rep
resentation here might become
listening post for the U. S. S. r.
That is why we had to sever
relations"
Denies Motives Are Selfish.
Ryti then re-emphasized his as
sertion that Tinland's motives were
not selfish.
I'VE have no imperialistic inter-
ests," he declared. 1--WE merely
fight for security There must not
be another Versailles"
'In this matter all four Scandi-
naVian nations think alike. They
merely want the right to exist
Europe's new order must be one in
which all nations have the feeling
of being free from the constant dan
