0ut-of-Town Firms
Business Taxes Are
Clarified in RuIinq
Court Denies Contention
Receipts From Sales Here
Should Be Apportioned

Under the District of Columbia
Revenue Act of 1887, no apportion-
ment of part of the receipts to busi-
ness activities carried on outside the
District is necessary for purposes of
taxation under the business priv
ilege tax legislation. the United
States Court of Appeals held today
The tribunal sustained finding
of the Board of Tax Appeals for
the District of Columbia. This find-
ing was contested by Harry Panitz
and William D. Katzen, trading as
Harry Panitz & Co.. wholesale cloth
ing manufacturers of Baltimore, who
operate here through travelling sales
men.
The firm contended that proper
construction of the act requires that
gross receipts derived from sales
to customers within the District
should be apportioned between the
State of Maryland and the District
in some fair proportion to the cost
of conducting within each the ac-
tivities, which, taken together, pro-
QuCe Jne gross receipts.
Further, it maintained that if thte
act is construed as not requiring ap-
portionment, the petitioners are de-
MED the due process of law by the
imposition of a tax on that part
of their gross receipts derived from
sales made in the District as a
result of business activities carried
on outside the District.
The opinion was written by Asso-
ciate Justice Wiley Rutledge, joined
in by Chief Justice D. Lawrence
Groner and Associate Justice Henry
w. Edgerton.
The tax is measured only by those
gross receipts derived from sales to
customers within the District" the
opinion said. This constitutes
sufficient approportionment of the
petitioners total gross receipts to
satisfy the limitations imposed by
the due process requirement of the
Fifth Amendment"
Further, the court said: THE ben
eflts received by petitioners from the
privilege to carry on business in the
District involved much more than
merely the right to solicit orders
here. which they claim is the only
business activity for which they can
be taxed. The sales to customers in
the District add to the volume and
profits of petitioners total business
and increase the value of the busi-
ness activities carried on outside the
District"

Within Few Weeks

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 21--All per-
sons arrested for traffic violations
during the week ends in Maryland
will be summoned to show cause
why their licenses should not be
revoked, it was announced today.
w. Lee Elgin, State commissioner
of motor vehicles, said such a plan,
adopted for the Fourth of July
holiday, would be put into effect
within the next few weeks.
Due to the success of the Fourth
of July plan. the commissioner said,
he has received a suggestion from
the Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission that it will support him
fully if he will put in effect the same
plan for all week ends beginning
each Friday at midnight and ending
48 hours later.
In Accord With Plan.
Mr.. Elgin declared he was fully in
accord with the commission rec
ommendation and would institute
the plan within the next few weeks
Or sooner, if the additional volume
of work resulting from such a pro-
gram can be handled by his force.
More than 300 Maryland motorists
who were convicted of violating the
motor vehicle laws during the three
day Independence Day holiday, he
announced, will receive notices with
in the next few days to appear at
his office
The plan was recommended by
the Traffic Safety Commission and
adopted by Mr.. Elgin to aid in re-
ducing fatalities and accidents Of
less serious nature along the high
ways.
Arrests Decrease.
From all indications, the COM
missioner said, "the campaign has
had the desired effect, substantial
decrease in arrests being noted
throughout the State"
Much to the astonishment of
the law enforcement bodies, over
40 per cent of the drivers arrested
were first offenders" he added.
Cases are being prepared by the
commissioners staff, the first Of
which will be heard July rs,

Boards Start
Revising Lists
Of Registrars
Work Of Integroting
21-Yeur-OId Men
Gets Under Way

District selective service head
quarters today distributed to Wash
ington's 25 local boards the official
master lists determining the Sc
quence in which the 21-year- -olds
will be integrated with the old Sc
lective service registrants.
Local boards this week will pro-
ceed to arrive at an order list of
old and new registrants. BY next
week local boards are expected to
start sending out questionnaires to
the 21-year-olds.
The master list went rapidly
through the official checking process
after the second selective service
lottery last Thursday night. The
lists were mailed out Saturday by
national headquarters to every local
headquarters in the country. The
list contains 800 numbers in the
order in which they were drawn.
Local boards are expected to meet
in the next day or two to cross off
the master list the numbers higher
than the top new serial number in
their board. At the same time they
will circle in red the serial numbers
of late new regiStrants.
The next step will be to figure out
the sequence numbers of the new
registrants and integrate them with
the old registrants.
Same PropOrtionate Ratios.
For the integration process they
will use the same proportionate
ratios as those published in The Star
last Friday. The ratios, or yard
sticks, have now become official.
AS in the case of men who regis
tered late in the first registration
last fall, the late new registrants
will be given the order numbers i'm
mediately preceding the order num-
bers assigned to registrantS having
the same sequence numbers. Where
there are late registrants, two new
men will automatically come to-
gether on the order list
To distinguish the men who regis
tered last October from the 21-year-
olds. the letter S will stand before
the order number of each of the new
men as he is integrated with the
old ones.
Awaiting the master list on the
new men, local boards have been
checking their pools to see how
many more men must be classified
before they get enough registrants
available for early induction in
preparation for their August call
According to local selective service
headquarters, almost all the boards
now have enough Al men to fill
their August quota.
Men who registered July ! in
Montgomery County. Md, probably
/ will not be indicted until September,
/ although it is possible some may
leave in August, officials announced
| today.
The new men will be integrated
into the remaining list of men in
each board area from the previous
registration last year as soon as
the master lottery lists are received.
The lists are expected today.
The official integration ratios
that is, the ratio in which the new
selectees' cards will be integrated
with the remaining men who regis
tered last year-Were announced as
follows:
Montgomery Board No. 1. at Rock
vile, l new man to 2 older men
Montgomery Board No. 2, at Silver
Spring. to 10; Montgomery Board
No. 3, at Bethesda, to 3.

Design Can Vary.
The grill and cooking surfaces
may be of any design. but 1t will

hazard. Then build frame work
OF 2-by-4 Studding as simple as

in size. Leave an opening in each
side for the access Of air about the
size of half window sash. Hang
doors on the front so that when they
are open the whole front OF the
shelter is open.
In locker cupboard built up one
side of the chimney may be stored
plates, cups, glasses and all the
table setting outfit. saving miles of
steps at every function. Paper nap
kins and all the gadgets likely to be
needed can be tucked away here
On the inside of the big doors are
strong hooks to hold all the pots and
pans, long handled forks and spoons,
corn pepper and candy pan
On the other side of the chimney
the firewood can be piled The
rest Of the available floor space can
be used for folding tables and chairs,
camp stools and hassocks.
Cover the window openings with
screen and have shutters made like
the side walls to be closed when
the shelter is not in use.
Affords Safe Storage.
During bad weather and when
you are out Of town your picnic
equipment will be safely stored out
of the wear and tear of storm and
pranksters. On a sunny Sunday
morning even in winter you can
surprise your friends by serving an
outdoor luncheon in comfort.
Design this picnic place patiently
so that it will harmonic with the
surrounding and be an asset to your
property. In garden design it may
take the place of the rose arbor at
the foot of the garden. At a prop
erty line. with planting at its base,
it can become a pleasing variation

The outdoor fireplace has grad

Suppose you had your fireplace or
grill inclosed by roof and four
sides-you could use it on many a
chilly evening late in the fall-and
even find it useful after coasting
parties in the middle of winter. An

not have to be portrayed from the
