BALTIMORE, Aug 12-Dr Ales
Hrdhcka, noted anthropologist, said
today the Japanese probably would
retain their Aleutian Island foot
holds until the end of the war.
The Japs took the islands be-
cause they were unopposed. he said,
and sudden storms, constant fogs
and perilous waters made it i'm
possible for United States forces
to conduct operations against them.
Difficulties of transportation due
to underwater rock formations and
storms which reach hurricane We
locity within Is minutes, frequently
make navigation impossible near
the rocky, barren islands of Attu.

In an address to the Baltimore
Rotary Club.
DR.. Hrdlicka who made extensive
explorations in the Aleutians before
the start of the war, added:
They will pay for it, though. I
should be sorry If we were in the

Tax Exemptions
Continued From First Page.)

and which should bear some share
of the tax burden. He promised the
committee would do its best to work
out a reasonable law.
The pending legislation is an out
growth of the survey carried on by
the Real Estate Exemption Board
since January, 1941. The Commis-
sioners told the committee the board
found that properties to the value
of $24,855, 1897 had been enormously
exempt in past years.
It has been estimated unofhcially
that the definitions in the McCar
ran bill would restore exemption to
about half of that property.
Opposes Naming Institutions.
The Commissioners recommended
that If the committee finds there
are some worthy institutions Or
agencies that could not qualify for
exemption under the general deflni-
tions being considered, they would
rather see Congress exempt such
institutions by specific language in
the bill than attempt to write a
general classification to fit such a
case that would bring in unworthy
cases along with the worthy.
Secretary McCarran said there are
two possible approaches to the prob
lem, namely: !, To name the instl-
tuition entitled to exemptions; 2,
to write general definitions, and he
made it clear he does not look with
favor on bills to exempt certain in
stitutions by name.
The Commissioners report read
IN part as follows:
"As result of the investigation
made by the Real Estate Tax Ex-
emption Board. and after considera-
ton of the present exemption laws,
the Commissioners have concluded
that the exemption statutes should
be materially changed II equity is
to be done to many legitimate
charities and to the taxpayers OF
the District of Columbia. The ex-
emption statutes are too strict in
some instances, susceptible Of far
too liberal Interpretation in other
respects. and in need of reclassifi-
cation If they are to be fairly and
reasonably administered. To Illus
trate: The existing exemption pro-
vision with, reference TO charities
provides:
&c. ." Buildings belonging to
/ institutions of purely public charity
conducted without charge to in
mates. profit or income = -.
& Exempts Some Organizations.
u The language has been construed
sby respectable judicial authority tc
d exclude from exemption charitable
organizations (no matter how Wor-
! thy. and where it was conceded thai
;S the organizations were not operating
for private gain or profit which
limited their charities to partic-
ular creed or sect.
IN other words, If the Baptist
organization or Catholic organiza-
ton limited their charities to mem
bers OF their own faith, they were
not entitled to exemption. With
this principle the Commissioner:
did not agree, but under existing Law
they have had no alternative but
to place the property used by suck
organiza tons back on the tax roll.
"On the other hand. the Commits.
sioners have found that several uni.
versities had large tracts of lanc
exempted, a great portion Of which

areas of exempt property OF the
United States and foreign govern
ments. The exemption of one prop
.erty merely means that other prop
erty has to carry an additional bur-
den," they pointed out. From this
it follows that due caution" should
be exercised in determining exemp-
tfofls, they added.
The city heads gave the total
assessed value of all property and
improvements in the District as
$2O91 .538, 1874 in 1910.
At that time the total of exempt
property was 1888 ,597 ,699, made up
as follows: United States property,
$668, 8,071 ,457; District of Columbia
government, $73,732,063; privately
owned exempt property, Sill, ,794, ITO.
I'm other words" they added,
"40.8 per cent of the value of all
real property and Improvements in
the District was exempt as of that
date, or 464 per cent of the total
area of the District, exclusive of
public highways"
The private exempt property,
however. represented only 5 per
cent of the total value of all prop
erty.

RossIyn Bus-Car Shift
Al non-Rush Hours
Plan Of 0DT Group
: Passengers Would Get
Free Transfers From
$50 AM. to 3::30 PM.

A proposal that the Arnold -oper-
ated bus line serving Arlington
County curtail it's non-rush hour
service between Virginia and Wash
ington "at the expense of the casual
rider" was made today by the Wash
ington Regional Committee of the
Office of Defense Transportation.
The plan, submitted to Defense
Transportation Administrator Joseph
B. Eastman, made the following
proposals:
l. That Arlington passengers, be-
tween $50 am. and $3.50 pm. board
Capital Transit Co. streetcars at
Rosslyn, Va, on free transfers. and
that the same procedure be followed
for passengers travelling into Airing
ton over the Washington line.
2. That Arnold-operated buses, 80
Der cent of which operate over Key
Bridge be routed over Memorial
Bridge on return trips to Arlington
ir the morning and afternoon rush
hours in order to relieve traffic flow
to- and from the War Department
Pentagon Building.
War Workers Come First.
"Any curtailment in transporta-
tion service should be made at the
expense of the casual, non-rush
hour rider and not war workers" J"
the report said.
1t was estimated that the bus
company could save 100000 bus
miles annually under the plan
Routing the buses over Memorial
Bridge would relieve the Capital
Transit Co., which has begun opera
ting 80 shuttle buses between the
District and the Pentagon Building,
it was pointed out.
The report was submitted by Dis
trict Traffic Director William Van
Duzer, Milton E. Diehl. special as
sistant TO- Administrator Eastman;
Benjamin G. Wilkinson, Montgom-
cry County States attorney, and
special assistant to the administra-
tor for the Virginia area, and F. w.
Lovejoy of the United States Bu-
reau of Roads.
Route Extended in d. c.
The transit company's shuttle
service has been extended to Nine
teenth and C streets NV, permit
ting commuters connections with
uptown streetcars and buses during
the rush hours. The former Wash
ington terminus of the route was
Twenty third street and COnStitu-
tion avenue NV.
Buses now will continue up
Twenty third street to c, east on
C street to Nineteenth and thence
back to Constitution avenue. The
last rush-hor buses will leave the
Pentagon Building at Sis pm. in
stead of $50. Buses also leave Ar
lington at 12:42 and 1882 am.
Capital Transit buses began yes
terday to use three emergency park
ing lots in a plan designed to save
gas and tires of, vehicles heretofore
returning to company garages after
,,se during peak traffic periods.
The lots are located at First and
B streets NV. John Marshall place
and Fourth street NV. and in East
Potomac Park on the former Polo
Field.
Transit officials also disclosed that
81 more streetcars are expected to
arrive here soon.
