Not an Education Institution.
Meetings are held in the District

seems to be no limit to the number

cred by this great institution, and
undoubtedly it is carrying on a

opinion, it is not an education

common meaning of that phrase.
If this property is to be exempt,
it should be exempt under a special
act of Congress and not under our
general exemption statute"
The property of the Society of the
Cincinnati was valued by the Dis
trict at 1868, the annual tax bill
being computed at 1894 The society
was described as patriotic organ
ization organized by George WASH
ington and his officers in 1888, the
purposes being to foster and main
tain the patriotic traditions of the
founders of the country, and the
activities now being the mainte-
nance of a national museum for the
custody and preservation of histor-
ical documents, relics and archives,
especially those pertaining to the
American Revolution, which are ac-
cessible to the public, without
charge.
A special act of Congress, the
Commissioners we're told, provided
that the property should be exempt
so long as it was occupied and used
subject to provisions of section of
the code providing for exemption of
church and school property. This
provides that if any portion Of such
property is larger than absolutely
required and actually used for its
legitimate purpose and none other,
or is used to secure a rent or in
come" such portion shall be tax
able.
The board found that vacant
property, consisting of two lots,
would not be exempt under the law
and that these lots should be placed
on the tax lists.
Valuation of Other Properties.
In the case of the Sisters of the
Blessed Sacrament for Indians and
Colored, the property was valued at
$40 0.440, the tax being computed at
1857.

Congressional Group
Plans Defense Trip
To South America
Subcommittee Members
To Get First-Hund
Dutu on Needs

Plans for a trip to South America
by five members of Congress to get
first hand information about the
needs of common defense and the
work of American foreign service
officers were announced by the State
Department last night.
The Congressional group. COM
posed of members of the House APP
propriatiOnS subcommittee which
handles State Department appropri-
alton bills, will leave Miami August
IL for a trip of approximately two
months to a number of the other
American republics, the announce
ment said.
The members of the committee" "
the department explained, will
have an opportunity to obtain a
flrst-hand knowledge of the other
American countries which will enable
them to gain a better understand
ing of the needs of common defense,
the importance OF collaboration by
this government with the govern
ments of the other American re-
publics and the wide range of acti-
vities which are required to make
this collaboration fully effective.
This knowledge and understand
ing will be useful to the members of
the committee in presenting to their
colleagues in the Congress matters
relating to the defense and solidarity
of the American republics
Secretary of State Hull told the
committee in hearings on an ap-
preparation bill several months ago
that such trip would be of real
value to the Government. Acting

Allen said that it was only with
the assistance of German officers in
Spain that he was able to travel
through that country.
On the arrival here of the United
States transport West Point, it was
learned that there was considerable
friction between the German and
Italian consular officials aboard the
ship Everything possible was done
for the comfort of the passengers
during the trip and the faces of the
Germans and Italians grew longer
and gloomier as the ship neared
Europe.
Expelled Agents Depressed.
Many of the passengers were said
to have made unsuccessful efforts
to cancel their expulsion orders and
remain aboard the ship for its re-
turn voyage to the United States.
Even the Germans who were most
vehement in their NaZi views while
they were in the United States, dis
played a change of heart as they
neared the Fatherland
Some of them seemed downright
disloyal to their Fuehrer by the time
Lisbon was reached and their war
scared homes drew nearer. Not
single Nazi salute was observed dur
ing the entire trip.
The Germans and Italians did not
associate during the voyage. The
Germans practically ignored the
Italians and the Italians did not
seem to mind playing second fiddle.
Mrs Joan Macauley wife of a
United States consular official who
arrived here with her five-month-
OLD baby after a seven-day train
ride from Rome. said the trip had
been very uncomfortable because all
Italian railway lines had been dis
organized by recent Royal Air Force
raids.
She said there seemed to be less
food in Italy than in Spain.
