Use Of Unofficial
Gas Conservation
Stickers Sanctioned
Maj. Brown !nstructs
Police Not to Give
Tickets for New Type

Police officers have been instruct
ed not to give tickets to motorists
for placing fuel conservation stickers
on their vehicles following an order
to that effect issued yesterday by
Supt. of Police Ernest w. Brown.
The action was taken following
complaint by a driver to Commits
sioner John Russell Young that he
had been given a ticket for having
such a sticker on his car. The sign
read: II use one-third less gasoline"
Maj. Brown revealed that similar
emblems have been distributed by
major Oil companies throughout the
country, but that their use here had
not been sanctioned by the traffic
department. The official emblem of
the District Committee for Petrole-
UNI Conservation, he pointed out,
carries the admonition to Make
four gallons do what five did before"
Because of this difference in the
wording, the police chief explained,
and because the oil companies had
not notified District authorities of
their intention to distribute their
stickers in Washington, the motor
ist was given a ticket. Due to his
order yesterday. however, motorists
may have either type of sticker on
their cars without fear of violating
the law. He was unable to give the
name of the penalized motorist nor
could he say whether the man paid
a fine
He added that garages receiving
fuel conservation stickers have been
asked to place the larger ones on the
rear windows of automobiles so as
not to interfere with the vision of
the drivers.

Man Who Mo|ested Girl
Al Memorial Sought

Washington police today searched
for a young man who menaced a 49,
year-old girl in a Lincoln Memorial
rest room last night. The man was
frightened away by the girls
screams.
The girl told police she was comb
ing her hair when she saw a col
ored man staring at her from the
doorway of the rest room. She said
she went into booth and locked the
door. She screamed when the man
refused to heed her pleas that he
go away, she told police.
Her escort, Malcolm Murray of
the Capitol police, and a soldier,
Francis Feguson of Fort Eustis, Va,
who were waiting at the entrance
to the Memorial, made a futile
search of the building. Later, a
general lookout was broadcast and
eight squad cars of park and metro
politan police combed the vicinity
without success.
Eight colored men were arrested
by police in the general area and
were included in special lineup
at park police headquarters, but the
girl was unable to identify any of
them as the man who had menaced
her and they were released. The
girl will appear at metropolitan po-
lice headquarters today to examine
a file of colored persons involved in
sex crimes.

transfers between husband and wife,
thus dividing incomes and qualify
ing for lower surtax brackets.
Proposes Income Division.
As an alternative, Senator George
suggested that all husbands and
wives divide equally any income they
might have and file separate re-
turns-a system now followed in
nine States having community
property laws.
Senator George conceded, however,
that this program would tend to
place a heavier tax burden on single
individuals than on married persons.
by splitting their income in half, he
explained, a couple filing two re-
turns would pay less In taxes than a
bachelor with the same income filing
one return.
Senator George mdorsed the
Treasury recommendation for reduc-
ing existing income tax exemptions
from $4,000 to $1,000 for married
persons, and from $500 to $3.50 for
single individuals. That suggestion
would require an estimated 6,543 900
additional persons to file tax returns
and would subject single persons
earning as low as $1442 weekly to
the income levy.
Simplified Tax Forms.
AS other means Of raising an addi-
tional 100000, 900 to $1,000, ,000, 900,
Secretary Morgenthau suggested in
creased estate and gift taxes. taxa
ton of State and local securities,
revision of excess profits levies and
reduction of depletion credits
granted concerns. such as oil COM
panies, which take natural resources
from the land.
A suggestion by Mr.. Morgenthau
that a simplified tax form be pro-
vided for low income groups met
with general committee approval.
Under the system, which would apply
to incomes up to 5000, a taxpayer
merely would have to figure his total
income, make deductions for de-
pendents and then pay a tax desig-
mated in a table on the reverse side
Of the form.
Mr.. Morgenthau, while Offering
specific recommendations for raising
up to $1,000 900 900 of extra revenue,
indicated yesterday that q $780,
900, 900 tax measure would be neces-
sary If the Treasury's goal Of two
thirds cash and one-third borrow
ing was to be attained. He said the
Treasury would submit new sugses-
tions for raising such an amount
later on, but conceded there were
virtually no new tax sources which
the Federal Government could tap.

Two Foes, One Backer

By the Associated Press,


GAINESVILLE, Wis, Aug. g.
After a campaign centered on in
ternational issues, voters in Wis
consin's 1st congressional district
nominated two opponents of the
Roosevelt foreign policies yesterday
to bid for vacancy in the House.
They were Attorney Lawrence H.
Smith, Republican, former Wiscon-
sin American Legion commander,
and State Senator Kenneth Green
quist, Progressive, both of Racine.
A three-party special election will
be conducted August 20 to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of
Representative Stephen Bolles. Re
publican.
Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Greenquist
will be opposed by Thomas r. Am
lie, Elkhorn, former Republican and
Progressive Representative from the
district, who won nomination on the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Amlie was
outspoken as supporter of the ad
ministration's foreign policies.
most OF whom campaigned in oppo-
sition to the Presidents policies
abroad, drew a total of 1910 votes
with Mr.. Smith finishing well ahead
with 1882 on returns from all but
one of the districts 203 precincts.
Mr.. Greenquist had the backing
Of Senator La Toilette and his
brother, Philip, former Wisconsin
Governor. Mr.. Greenquist polled
1882 votes and was unopposed.
Mr.. Amlie, opposed by Bernard F
Magruder, Racine, drew 1851 of
4,973 Democratic ballots cast.
The attempt of Democrats to line
| up votes of anti-La Toilette Pro-
| gressives behind Mr.. Amlie as a
coalition candidate of the two
parties appeared to have been at
least partly successful in view OF
Mr.. Amlie's nomination.
The voting was exceedingly light,
the normally strong Republican
district having cast 124000 votes in
the 1910 election when Mr.. Bolle:
was reelected by a large margin.

Elaborate Plans Made
To Link Broudcusters
For All Emergencies ,
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.


The Defense Communications
Board has announced elaborate
plans for the use of radio stations
to dispatch afraid warnings, COM
muniques and announcements in
event of military emergency.
James Lawrence Fly, chairman Of
the D. c. B. and also of the Federal
Communications Commission, en-
phasized yesterday that broadcast
ing would remain in private hands
and that all utilization of broad
cast facilities will be on co-opera-
tive basis, except possibly for areas
of actual combat.
Plans also have been made for
keeping stations on the air in an
emergency even though there is
failure in the main source of power
supply. In addition to the regional
network plan which has been
worked out, provision has been
made for a super covering
substantially all the urban areas of
the United States. The board has
provided also for a system of re-
routing broadcasts by wire in event
the usual wire systems of the chains
are disrupted.
Surveys by the board indicate
that, even with every station in the
country tied in for emergency
broadcasts S, certain rural areas
would be without reliable reception,
especially during daylight hours
and during summer months in the
Southern States. But Mr.. Fly as
serted that various plans for pro-
viding reliable broadcast service to
such areas are under consideration.
He added that all urban areas are
adequately covered and that few
towns with a population of more
than $4,000 are without local broad
casting stations.
The Defense Board head said in
vestigation had shown that high
degree of freedom from program
Interruptions can be attained. Elec-
trio power failure, he said, is the
most frequent cause, accounting for
about so per cent of all breaks. At
present an estimated 10 per cent
of all stations are equipped with
emergency gasoline or steam-driven
power generators, which will enable
them to continue operations under
any conditions except actual demoli-
ton of the transmitters. Other sta
tions are served by two or more in
dependent sources of public power.
Studies by the D. c. B. indicate
that of approximately $50 standard
broadcast stations in operation,
nearly 500 are already connected to
the super-network. An additional
1872 have studios in cities now served
by the super-network so that only
local links need be secured, and 240
are located along the lines of the
super-netWork SO that they can be
tapped in. Only II stations in the
country are located away from the
regular program lines and these can
be hooked in for emergency an
nouncements by means of ordinary
telephone inter-connections. The
program transmission network also
is available for instantaneous warm
ings to a particular station that it is
in danger of becoming a beacon for
enemy aircraft.
