Tax Exemption

The fact that the current re-
examination of the correctness of
the tax-exempt status of certain
privately owned properties in the
District alrea 1y has resulted in add
ing more than $2,00O,000 of values
to the assessment books, with but
relatively few of the 1000 cases dis
posed Of, suggests that the Com
missioners had ample justification
for ordering this inquiry.
There is, of course, no reason to
suppose that all of the 1000 proper
ties in question will be held liable
to taxation, nor even that the find
ings already made by the Real Estate
Tax Exemption Board will be finally
sustained But it seems rather
obvious that the Commissioners, in
fairness to all taxpayers, have taken
the proper course in requiring
review of the whole field of tax
exemption to the end that properties
whose taX-eXempt status no longer

within the reach of the assessor.
In its approach to the problem the
Tax Exemption Board, headed by
Assistant Corporation Counsel Wal
ter L. Fowler, has taken as its guide
the broad proposition that "exemp-
ton from taxation is the exception
to the rule that all property is liable
to contribute to the common burden,
and such exemption is not favored In
law Exemptions must be by
express and positive enactment and
not allowed by implication Nov
ing from this seemingly sound posi-
ton to specific cases, the board, for
example, has diSapproved an exemp-
ton extended to a privately endowed
art gallery some years ago on the
theory that it was an educational
institution. In support of its ruling,
the board quoted from a decision by
the Court of Appeals in a somewhat
similar case involving private
school. The important conSldera-
tion," the court said is that the
school shall measure up to standards
of curriculum and pedagogy set by
the Government AS long as it does,
it performs a function which must
otherwise be performed by the Gov
ernment."
This ruling, the board said, leads
to the fundamental conclusion that
a claim to tax exemption in case
,of this kind must rest upon the con-
ferring of a benefit on the public, and
the consequent relief, in part at
least, of the burden which would
otherwise rest upon the Govern
ment-a test which the gallery was
held not to meet.
Another important question has
arisen in cases involving churches,
scientific and charitable Organlza-
tionS, which properly may claim ex-
emption for such portions Of their
properties as are used for approved
purposes, but which also assert a
claim to exemption as to property
used for what the board considers
to be other purposes-that is, for
rent, sale, recreation, etc.
1t is obvious that all such qucs-
tionS will have to be decided on the
merits of each individual case The
board evidently recognizes the need
for such a procedure, and is to be
commended for conducting its in
Quiry accordingly, instead of being
guided exclusively by a desire to
secure a maximum Of additional

The lend-leaSe plan enables Mr..
Roosevelt to give substance to the Brit
ish-American relationship. That plan
provides the machinery for merging the
strength of the two empires. 1t gives
special point to the recent remark of
Mr.. Churchill that the affairs of Britain
and the United States probably would
become somewhat tangled in the period
ahead.
1t is this tangling that gives such solid
ground for worry on the part Of the
Hitler -Mussolini- -Konoye partnership.
Those partners are fair-weather
friends, each of whom is jealous and
suspicious of the other. The loot that
Mussolini looks for in Africa Is part of
the loot Hitler himself wants. The loot

Strong Blue Troops
Force Quick Windup
OF Mock Attack
Outnumbered Fort Bruqq
Units Driven Back us
Virginia Muneuvers End
BY BEN PEARSE,
Star Staff Correspondent.

BOWLING GREEN, Va, June T.
The Army's first maneuvers in it's
new military reservation near here
were brought abruptly to close at
10 am. todap after the Northern
forces had driven the outnumbered
Southern troops back to the border
of the 70,000-acre training grounds.
At the conclusion of the mock
war the retreating Fort Bragg (N.CD
units were making stand on a
front stretching along the southeast
boundary of the area Officers did
not comment Immediately on the
conduct of the maneuvers, but a
press conference was scheduled for
later in the day.
The Northern troops were diverted
from main line attack last night
by surprise movement of the mo-
torized Fort Bragg units, but began
at dawn today; through its numer-
ically superior strength, to force the
f1anking enemy to retire.
The surprise move of yesterday
came at time when the southern
forces, comprised of the 60th Combat
Team from Fort Bragg, NC, and
a detail of cavalry from Fort Myer,
Va, fighting against an enemy much
superior in numbers, were falling
back steadily along a 2-mile front.
New Rifles Used.
New Garand rifles were every
where in evidence as the fight waged
yesterday, and .37-mm. anti-tank
guns could be spotted occasionally
by careful observation along the
roads of the new 10000 acre A. P.
Hill military reservation, being given
its baptism of fire. But the word
"blltzkrieg" was never mentioned
once as the Reds, moving up from
the south, encountered the Blues.
These men are not ready for
'blitz' tactics yet" one officer ex-
planned. Later in the summer,
perhaps. they will be, but right now
all we expect is to familiarize them
with their weapons, equipment and
jobs, and how to do in the field
what they have been learning in
camp.

9OO.OOO kllowattS TO meet defense
needs IN l943 and to maintain mini
mum reserves was made Yesterday
at a conference of utility officials of

OF the Federal Power Commission
Olds said that at an average cost
OF 500 kilowatt it would cost
$3.50 900, 900 to increase power plant
capacities to produce the desired
gain.
The meeting, one of several re-
glonal conferences being held by
Olds, was attended by representa-
tlVes from Illinois, Kentucky. Indi-
ana, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Iowa. Minnesota. Mis-
souri, and Western Pennsylvania.
Olds said the defense needs in
this area in 1912 would probably be
about 2,658,OO kilowatts-about one
fourth of the regions output.
This is the largest defense load
concentrated in any one of the re-
gions into which the country has
been subdivided," Olds asserted.
