For District Wins

The House District Committee to-
day ordered a favorable report on
the bill of Chairman Hunter OF the
Subcommittee on FiScsi Relations
designed to change the provisions Of
the bill providing 5 per cent tax
on foreign corporations having
Offices here
Chairman Hunter said he believed
the new measure would silence IS
per cent of the complaints now di-
rected against the law.
The Hunter substitute was ac-
cepted instead of an amendment
offered by Representative D'Alesan-
dro of Maryland after extensive
hearings. Representative D'Alesan-
dro supported the Hunter substitute.
The D'AleSandro amendment. it
is explained, would have meant an
extensive loss in revenue to the
District. which Mr. D'Alesandro did
not intend, because II would have
relieved from the tax all fuel oil.
gasoline, coal, building supplies and
such goods sold in large quantities
here which are delivered in the
District by the manufacturers.
Representative Hunter estimated
that the corporation tax now In the
law would bring in approximately
81, 200 900 in revenue, but that would
be from local corporations as well
as foreign corporations. The substi-
tute will cut of approximately $685.
900 of that revenue. Mr.. Hunter
admitted that even with his sub
stitute there is unfair competition
under the law between corporations
and individuals making sales In the
District, but that no income tax
law has yet been worded TO correct
such unfair competition.
Mr.. Hunter said that all sales TO
the Federal Government are exempt
unless they are made by a corpora
ton doing business In the District
and the goods are delivered for use
in the District.
FOB. shipments would be relieved
of the tax. G. o. d. shipments
would still be compelled to pay the
tax. but it was explained that the
shippers would be able to find
way to relieve themselves Of this tax.

The Public Utilities Commission
today ordered extension of the cross
town bus route from its present
Northeast terminus in the vicinity
OF Catholic University TO Bladens-
yurg road via Franklin street NE.
A date for the beginning OF the
extension service will be set later
The commission action establishes
. crosstown route from Westmore-
fay1d Circle in Northwest to Bladens-
surg road in the Northeast, and is
N line with the complaint of resi-
dents Of the Northeast area that
the route instituted last February

Franklin TO Bladensburg road.
Originally the commission had
suggested extension OF the route
along Monroe street to South Da-
kota avenue and southeast thence
to Rladensburg road, with a few
changes In the service on the Rhode
Island avenue route and the Hy-
attsville College Park schedule.
While opposed TO any extension at
> this time, Capital Transit Co. off,
cials presented the Franklin street
proposal as an alternative without
disturbing the other two routes.
The problem of establishing feeder
lines TO the crosstown route will be
considered by the commission and
company officials later, 1t was in
dicated.
Announcement of the commits
sion action was made by Chairman
Gregory Hankin at the conclusion
OF q public hearing in which D. j.
Locke OF the Transit Co. outlined
the company's position.
Cites Defense Policy.
Mr.. Locke cited Q policy statement
OF the once OF Defense Transporta-
ton, issued April II, opposing the
extension OF any existing bus routes
except to places important to de-
Tense or military or naval estab-
lishments. He Indicated that this
was the basis of the company OBJ
lection to crosstown extension.
The crosstown line, he told the
commission. is regarded by the
company "a comparative luxury" be-
cause, he said. the immediate trans
portation needs are radial to points
OF employment concentration. He
felt that II shortages of equipment
imposed sacrifices. such sacrifices
should be made at the expense of
the crosstown or feeder service.
Mr.. Locke was questioned extern
sively By Nathan Lubar. represent
ing steering committee of civic
organizations favoring a crosstown
service.
Mr. Locke said relatively few
people ride all the way through on
the crosstown bus, most of them
using 1t to transfer to downtown
streetcar and bus lines.
Chairman Hankin praised the
presentation OF the Transit Co.
spokesman as one of the best he
has heard.

BY ROBERT C. HARPER.

A laboratory in democracy, where
Judy O'Grady and the Colonel's
Lady donate blood to save lives on
the fighting fronts, is causing free
dom-loving people to put ideals into
practice at the Red Cross blood
bank here.
In their attractive new donor
center at the corner of Twenty
third and c streets NV. District
Red Cross personnel have story
to tell, not only of the reaction OF
some II 200 persons here to Pear
Harbor and Bataan Peninsula, but
of democracy exemplified in the
collective rolling up of sleeves tc
help win the war.
Here one finds the wife of 9
British admiral, the wife of a CHIEF
petty officer of the Navy, Bel
gian countess and the daughter oi
a Netherlands naval attache giving
their services along with volunteers
of the Red Cross Gray Ladies, Wo-
mems Motor Corps and staff as
sistants.
The millionaire and the poor man
alike have given donations to hast
en- American victory, with women
as usual making the most sacri-
fees. Whether it is because Wash
ington is thronged with young
women Government workers who
have relatives or friends in the
armed services or their loved ones
have been killed or wounded, the
fact is that women constitute the
majority of those giving donations
here.
Donors Derive Thrill.
They derive a positive thrill out
of giving blood to save lives" re-
marked Mrs. Dorothy Mason Wal
ton, 1901 Argonne place NV, in
charge of the Red Cross blood
bank 1T is hard to hit on a
slogan that really tells the story
My own idea is that, by the indi-
vidual doing so little, the Red Cross
can do so much"
These people are a cross-section
of American life. Members of Con-
gress, high Government officials
and those unable to buy Defense
bonds are finding common work
under the Red Cross banner.
For example, a young girl of
slender build not satisfied to make
one donation made three trips, each
time giving a half pint of blood.
She has three brothers in uniform.
There is Darrell Lightbourne,
born a British subject, now a nat
urahzed American. Over the last
20 months, he has achieved rec
ord not equalled here He has
given more than a gallon of his
blood in nine donations. Mr.. Light
bourne, who lives at 1000 Brandy
wine street NV, celebrated the
receipt of his citizenship papers two
months ago with another donation.
Mr.. Lightbourne is being crowded
by Ensign Robert D. McMillen of
the Naval Reserve. Since September
1910, Ensign McMillen, a splendid
physical specimen, has given eight
donations and shares membership
with Mr. Lightbourne in the ultra
exclusive gallon class"
The day after 1t was announced
that his father, a major in the
Marine Corps, had been taken pris-
oner by the Japanese at Wake Is
land, a prep school student here
went TO the Red Cross bank.

The National Symphony Orches-
ira, now canvassing for a fund to
carry it through another season,
crystallizes a dream expressed from
the stage of Constitution Hall near
ly II years ago-that it would be-
come the representative American
orchestra.
Since November 2, 1881, the date
of its debut the orchestra has given
73l different performances in vari-
Gus sections of the country Audi
ences at these programs have been
estimated to total 1000 900 persons
The National Symphony's head
quarters were located here, in line
with a practice followed by lead
ing orchestraS in other nations, but
its field has been unlimited. 1t has
spread musical good will from Can
ada to Palm Beach, and constantly
at its head, like the keynote by
which instruments are tuned, has
served its founder and conductor
DR.. Hans Kinder.
Financial Storms Weathered.
Year after year during its exist
ence the orchestra has weathered
financial storms, some that threat
ened to put the orchestra on the
rocks, but in each instance the goal
was reached. and the symphony pro-
ceeded TO complete successive sea-
sons with growing acclaim.
The move for such an orchestra
was started here many years ago.
Music lovers, with growing vigor,
clamored for America to become in
dependent of Europe in music, to
have its own large orchestras and
Conservatives to train musicians.
The symphonies are one outgrowth
of that movement. Other large
United States cities had symphony
orcheStras before the goal was
reached in Washington.
But the desire in the Capital was
strong enough to survive. In 1890,
a group of musicians organized
under the name of the National
Symphony Orchestra and gave three
concerts on a cooperative basis be-
fore disbanding. But one lasting
thing was done. The musicians
asked a celliSt who was born in

They advise revision Of the
curricula of schools and colleges
so as to develop sound and broad
understandings Of the nature
and problems of the war, togeth-
er with their implications for the
postwar peace, and to supply
both the general education and
the technical training which the
war emergency demands. This in
cludes health, social study,
science, languages and the step
ping up of the educational pro
cess.
The Council also advised fur
ther teacher education and that
facilities for the training of
workers in war industries should
be expanded, and that particular
attention be given to the retain
ing of workers displaced by the
conversion of business and indus
try to wartime purposes.
Extension of educational op-
portunity through sound elemen-
tary, SECONDARY and higher edu-
cation is advocated with adequate
financial support by local, state
and federal government.

prevent in America the marked
increase in juvenile delinquency
which, in other nations, has ac-

attendant upon war" said mem
bers of the Council.
Further advice from the Coun-
ell, some of which is already un-
der consideration by the Newark
and Licking County Federation
of Teachers is as follows:
"All pupils and teachers should
participate in some manner in
the war effort of our nation,
such as by the purchase Of war
stamps and bonds, contributions
to war service organizations,
conservation of vital materials,
the development Of library in
formation centerS, ana the con-
duct of public forums and dis
cussion groups.
at is expected that teachers
will be called upon more and
more to render a variety of
special wartime services in the
schools and community. This, Of
course, teachers are happy to
do. They should have the priv
ilege of selecting the types of
special wartime activities in
which they prefer to engage.
Further, school boards and ad-
ministrative officers should seek
the advice and suggestions of
teachers through their democrat

Colonel Oliver H. Dockery, OF
Newark, Las announced his can
didacy for Congress on the Re
publican ticket in the 18th Ohio
District, comprising the counties
of Ashland, CoshoctOn, DeiaWa.e,
Knox, Licking and Richland. Col
onel Dockery's entry in the Con-
gressional race was an eleventh
hour surprise, as he had not been
considered a candidate this year.
Hon. J. Harry McGregor, of
Coshocton county, now repre-
sents this district in Congress,
and has already filed for renom-
nation, so that the Republican
contest in the August primaries
will be between McGregor and
Dockery.
Colonel Dockery is a retired
army officer, with 40 years of
active service in five wars, be-
fore his retirement eight years
ago. He has twice before been
a candidate for the Republican
congressional nomination, being
defeated the last time by Mr..
McGregor in the special election
of February, 1910, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death Of the
late William A. Ashbrook of
Licking county.
Colonel Dockery has long been
associated with civic, fraternal
and patriotic affairs in Newark,
and takes a leading part in SER
vice programs Of the American
Legion, Veterans of Foreign
Wars and Spanish War Veterans.
He is active in the Civilian De-
fense corps, being a director in
charge of secret service protec-
ton against subversive, sabotage
and fifth column activities in
Licking county. He is a Baptist
and member Of the Masons, Elks,
Eagles, Moose and Farmers
Grange.
He is known as being mlIitantly
patriotic, and very earnest in the
support of the President in adopt
ing vigorous measures to win the
War, and end worldwide hostili-
ties with a just peace. He is also
in accord with EX-President Hoo
yer, Wendell Wilkie and Thomas
E. Dewey, that partisan politics,
involving vital military policies,
must be adjourned for the dura-
tion of the War" Colonel Dock
ery's election campaign will be
conducted along those lines.
