Hunter Group to Meet.
Chairman Hunter said last night
that his fiscal group subcommittee
expects to meet in executive ses-
sion early this week to consider
action on two measures designed to
re-establish the District Virginia
boundary lines. Both of these meas
ures would establish the high water
mark on the Virginia shore as the
boundary. but one of them would
place the new National Airport
within the District and the other
In Virginia. At the same time, he
said, the subcommittee will prob
ably consider the bill being drafted
by Chairman McCarran of the Sem
ate District Committee for recon-
stitution of the retroceded area in
nearby Virginia as a part OF the
District.
It was learned late yesterday that
Chairman Hunter has had drafted
an amendment to the corporation
tax law which will clarity the situ-
alton complained about in a hear
ing on Friday by furniture manu-
facturers' and dealers representa-
tives from all over the country.
They protested that the interpreta-
ton of the law by District officials
forced furniture manufacturers to
pay double taxes in their home
States, would ruin the small busi-
ness men, cause the withdrawal Of
salesmen from the District area, de-
crease trade competition here and
drive the statesmen out of business
District off1cials said that this
objected-to provision is bringing
upwards of $500,0O0 annually into
the District treasury and that the
District law follows the exact Ian
guage of the Federal law regarding
collections at sources" The en-
tire question is whether sales are
solicited in Washington and the
actual transfer of properties made
here.
Previously Ineffective.
The law has been operative since
1899 but was ineffective until an
amendment was passed this year
requiring that QUITO f-town corpo-
rations secure $40 license here,
and that each of their agents
should carry a certificate that such
license has been granted. 1t was
under this provision that District
authorities hoped to check on sales
actually made in the District.
Chairman Hunter intends the
amendment now being drafted to
be clarifying so as to relieve
manufacturers from the trouble of
getting a decision from the local
one-man Tax Appeals Board, and
then having to 60 to court for an
Affirmative decision on their pro-
tests. The proposed amendment Is
dedgned to state definitely the in
tent OF Congress.
At the District Committee session
tomorrow Chairman Randolph and
10 sother members are to be pre-
sented by District Police Supt. Ed
ward j. Kelly with auxiliary police
mems badges. These members were
sworn in several months ago a
members Of the Metropolitan Aux
0iary police force.

The terrific Japanese assault on
Guadalcanal Island, in the Solo
mons, is being met with an equally
terrific counter assault by the
United States Marines. Latest re-
ports, however, state that the Japs
have succeeded in landing large
force on the island proper and that
a major battle is now looming.
This is a most important phase of
the Battle for the Pacific, for if
the Japs are successful in driving
the Marines from their Solomon
Islands foothold, they will be free
to again threaten our extended
shipping routes to Australia, and
to even directly menace the down
under continent with invasion.
However, there is always a bright
side to every picture-we hold the
airfield on Guadalcanal, and our
planes based there will blast the
'Nips" from all sides, and before
it is over another great Japanese
fleet may be resting on the bottom.
In other words, Midway and the
Coral Sea will be repeated. AS for
the enemy land forces now engag-
ing our Marines, when they are cut
off from supplies and are pounded
every minute by our dive bombers,
and shelled constantly by our land
batteries, they may decide to return
to the sea from whence they came,
to provide a treat for sharks.

German air-raids on England will
increase heavily this winter. Rea-

that will make it possible for Geor-

airpower is growing fast, and very
ambitious plans have been made
