Arkansas Releases Trucks
Hauling Jeeps for Army
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
WEST MEMPHIS. Ark, April g.
The controversy between Arkansas
and transport company which had
resulted in tying up transports haul
ing Army jeeps was settled yester-
day on request Of Army officials at
Washington.
Chief Engineer w. w. Zass of the
highway department.. who came here
to lead negotiations after 10 motor
transports loaded with jeeps were
stopped at weighing station, said
the trucks were released immedi-
ately on receipt of the Army re-
quest and left for Little Rock within
a short time.
Release of the transports, each
loaded with seven new jeeps. was
subject to the condition they would
not exceed a 35-mile- per- hour speed
limit.
Mr. Zass said another condition
was that future transports, hauling
the jeeps from Toledo, Ohio. fac
tory to the Army's quartermaster
depot at Little Rock, observe maxi
mum load regulations.
During negotiations for the settle
ment 430 other jeeps were held up
at the Toledo factory.

District Income Tax
Collections 10 Set
Record, Dent Predicts
Assessor Estimates
Personal Returns
At $l.875,000

Belief that District income taxes
collected from individuals and cor
porations would establish a record
this year was voiced today by Dis
trict Tax Assessor Edward A. Dent,
despite uncertainties as to the
meaning of the "domicile" clause
of the local law.
At the same time he warned
Washington residents the deadline
for payments would be reached
Wednesday of next week. Returns
made by mail will be accepted as on
time if postmarked before midnight
on that day
Mr.. Dent estimated the personal
income tax revenue may run as
high as $l,875 900. Last year the
District collected about sl,825, 900.
For the corporate income tax he
estimated revenues at between 81
400 1000 and s2,5O0,OO0, as against
50 200, 900 received in the past year.
Mr.. Dent explained his estimates
were based in part on guess. but said
the great increase in Washington's
population should bring added rev.
enues.
Any one domiciled in the District
on December 81, 1941. is required to
make a return. Last year there
were 1900 returns made which
showed taxable net income.
A long line of taxpayers has been
making its way through the line of
special clerks, in the first floor cor
ridor of the District Building in
recent days. About 500 persons a
day are using this service. Mr.. Dent
estimated that 10000 persons already
had sent in their returns by mail.

nurse who supervised the followup.
Almost another 20 per cent were
under treatment at the end Of that
school year.
To Act at Budget Sessions.
Mr.. Stefan said he considered the
physical fitness program so impor-
tant that he planned to bring up
the need for additional physical edu-
cation instructors and Health De-
partment medical and mental in
spectors when the hearings on the
l943 District budget are opened by
the appropriations subcommittee
next Monday. He said he wished
school officials had asked for the
necessary teachers long ago.
1t has been estimated that about
10 additional physical education in
structors would be needed to put the
five-period-a-week program in every
senior high school and four periods
a week in the junior highs. The
average is now only two 45-minute
periods a week. Additional medical
and dental inspectors are needed
and 81 public health nurses ear
marked for full-time duty at the
larger school buildings to follow up
the defects noted by the physical
examination by trying to get the
parents to bring about corrections.
Unof1icial estimates indicate such a
program would cost about $3.50, ,000
"But If necessary we can drop
some of the frills out of the budget
to make room for these projects so
essential to the war effort" said Mr.
Stefan. 1t was the NebraSkan who
called attention to the fact that the
Districts 1913 estimates, prepared
months before Pearl Harbor. were
now Obsolete" and needed revision.
Dental Defects Noted.
Twenty per cent of the physical
reflections by the Army was for
dental defects, he pointed out, while
the recent survey by the Health De-
partment showed two-thirds of the
junior high and three-fourths of the
OCAAAO1 WCI e
found with an average of seven or
eight dental defects each.
Conditions revealed by this survey
clearly reveal why 50 many were re-
jected by the Army for bad teeth,
he said, adding that the cost of re-
habilitation in school is far less
than among older men.
Seeing physical fitness as desir-
able in itself from the point Of
view Of general efficiency, Mr.. Stefan
said he planned to ascertain directly
from the Health Department and
school oncials at the hearings the
need and exactly what 1t would COST
The War Department has given
US . Job to do," he said, "and we've
got to do something about It here"

For q Stronger America
(TUentieth OF q Series.)
By JOHN w. THOMPSON, Jr.

Washington should be the
leader in developing a strong
public school physical fitness
program to meet the demands
of Nation at war, Representa-
tive Stefan, Republican, of Ne
braska declared today.
Citing the rejection of many Dis
trict men by the Army for physical
defects which could have been cor
rected, the Nebraskan pointed out
that the War Department has called
on communities throughout the Ma
ton to assume responsibility for
toughening the country's youth be-
fore they are called for military
service.
Where do you think Germany
gets her physically fit soldiers?" he
demanded. In the schools. With
world and the War Department
asking for assistance, the District
should have model physical train
ing program for the other school
systems of the country"
Specific Suggestions Given.
Mr. Stefan, ranking minority
member of the District subcommit-
tee of the House Appropriations
Committee said specifically he
meant stepping up the tempo of
physical activity and study periods
in the senior high schools to the
five period week plan now in ef-
feet for all students at Calvin Cool
idge High School and partially in
effect at Woodrow Wilson High
School. He added that medical and
dental examinations of school chill
dren should be increased to provide
early detection of defects for which
many have been turned down by
the Army later in life.
I'VE definitely don't want social
lied medicine" he emphasized, but
this is different. The Health De-
partment's medical and dental ex-
aminers simply note defects. The
pupils are then referred to their
family doctors and dentists for
diagnosis and correction"
Parents. he felt. are only too glad
to have the defects corrected when

A bill providing for scientific tests
OF Washington motorists suspected
of driving while drunk has been
approved by the Public Health Sub
committee of the House District
Committee, 1t was announced today
by Acting Chairman Mcmillan.
The legislation was given unani-
nous Endorsement at a public hear

ties for the scientific determine
ton" Of the degree of intoxication

volved in accidents causing personal
injury or substantial property dam
age.
No specific form of test is pre-
scribed in the legislation approved

would be optional and not COM
pulsory on the part Of the man
arrested. The results would be ad-
mitted as evidence in court trials.
The bill approved by the subcom-

the equivalent of six bottles of beer
