FATHER AND SON CHAPTER VI

OE1AE Grt VI
 The thrill of her trunacy in- creased a hundred-fold as Enid moved from room to room, revel- ing in the lovely vista of the apartment as seen from different angles, touching bits of bric-a- brac lovingly with precious sense of possession, changing the position of some books, visioning fresh flowers in the vases on shelves and tables.
 Nasturtiums in the dining room, she thought; she loved their spicy odor; and some yellow and white cut flowers in the cool living room. She would stop at a florists the first thing in the morning and order them.
 Eventually she came down to earth long enough to unpack. She hummed happily as she hung her few clothes in the spacious bed room closet, and laid out her toilet accessories on the dressing table. That was another luxury she was going to treat herself to. some really good cosmetics, scented creams, gossamer powder, and im- ported perfume. And yes = she'd have a facial and have her hair set and get manicure.
 By the time she'd arrange her personal effects and taken shower in the peach tiled bath room she was ravenously hungry. At first she thought she'd call a taxi and go downtown to eat.
 On second thought she decided to hunt a delicatessen shop - she had noticed sort of community center about two blocks from the apartment, there was probably delicatessen there - and get some thing to cook in the apartment. She was itching to try the fascin- ating gadgets in the apartment Kitchen.

 JUNEAU RESIDENT
 IS LEARNED HERE

Word has been received in Juneau by Mrs. Joe Tors, of the death of e. R. Reid, long time resident of the Territory who for the last sev- eral years had been living with a sister in Gallup, New Mexico.

Discusses Lack OF Facilities
For Taking Care Of Common Needs.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Now that we are at war; 1t is amusing
to consider our present-day living con-
ditions and realize how we have tied
ourselves hand and foot, SO that we
are practically helpless when 1t comes
to taking care Of our everyday needs,
such as food, clean clothes, etc.
In Washington and Virginia there are
numerous large apartment dwellings
which have absolutely no provision for
laundry facilities. This makes thou
sands Of people absolutely dependent on
commercial laundries, which now are
having more and more difficulty in
taking care of their customers.
Also, there are practically no corner
grocery stores. especially in the better
residential neighborhoods. These COM
munities are restricted, on the assump-
ton that residents can drive to shopping
centers or have groceries delivered. This
assumption has also been exploded dur
ing the past year.
Since we apparently are preparing for
long war, I suggest the following: Cd
Make 1t unlawful to build any kind of
living quarters without laundry facili-
ties, and force existing developments to
install same; co change the zoning laws
in the city and suburbs so that we may
have grocery or drug store here and
there. F. E. F.

The New Nelson

There is a distinct note of en-
couragement in the assertion by
Donald Nelson, war production chief,
that he intends to "get tough" and
stay tough until the kinks in his
end of the war production job have
been ironed out.
This will not be an easy thing
to do, and it will call for vigorous
action as well. as vigorous Ian
guage. Heretofore Mr.. Nelson has
been operating on the theory that
it would be unWise to hit back at
those who have been sniping at
him, that he could accomplish more
by trying to meet his critics half
way, or more than half way Up to a
certain point there is merit in this
strategy. 1t is apt to be effective in
the case of those who are sincere in
their criticism, whose real interest
consists only of improving the war
effort. But 1t has not worked, and
1t will not work, in the case of
those individuals whose primary OBJ
jective is to put the skids under Mr..
Nelson.
1t is for the benefit of those in
this latter category, both in and out
OF the War Production Board, that
Mr.. Nelson now proposes to put
aside his kid gloves. The struggle
will be a hard one, but Mr.. Nelson
Is in good position at this time
to undertake it. He has the conf
dence OF the people of the country.
and that confidence is based on the
correct belief that the war produc-
ton chief, by and large, has done
a good job and on the proper desire
to- keep control of the production
| effort in civilian hands.
The fact that he is doing a good
job, however, will not be enough of
itself to keep Mr.. Nelson in the
saddle. He can be, and he is being,
undermined by certain individuals
who are more interested in getting
Mr.. Nelson than in getting maxi
mum results from the war produc-
ton program. 1t is with this group
that he now proposes to seek a
showdown, and it is to be hoped. for
the good OF the country that Mr.
Nelson comes out on top,

The Real Answer

Senate hearings on legislation to
define the conditions under which
real estate should be held exempt
from local taxes have served admir-
ably to focus attention on the broad
nature of the tax exempt problem in
the District.
Senator McCarran points out that
Washington is fast becoming the
capital of the civilized world; that in
future it will be even more the
center of science, education and
quasi-public activities, and the pres
ence here of great human activities
is benefit that carries far more
compensation than any tax"
True, the Commissioners would
agree. But the location here of these
institutions involves at the same
time a certain burden on the local,
Washington community-as distinct
from Washington. the Capital of the
Nation. When they are relieved of
the obligation of local tax pay
ments, the tax burden placed on
remaining real estate tends to in
crease. And the benefits Of loca-
ton in Washington are not con-
fined to the local community, but
are Nation-w wide In their effect.
The answer to the problem thus
posed does not lie in collecting real
estate taxes from these Institutions
or from the National Government
itself, which is the largest owner of
tax-exempt realty in the District.
The answer, as Senator McCarran
says himself, is to increase the
amount paid by the National Gov
ernment in support of it's Capital.
Part of the annual lump sum pay
ment might be said to be made in
lieu of a portion of the taxes which
exempt realty in Washington does
not pay. The inequity which Sem
ator McCarran and his colleagues
should seek to remedy is that the
lump-sum payment falls so far short
Of what any reasonable considera-
ton of National Government obli-
cations would make it. For an ex-
cessive amount of tax-exempt real
estate is only one of many reasons
why the lump sum should be in
creased.
1t is encouraging to note that
Senator McCarran seems more than
ever impressed with this fact at the
conclusion of the hearings.
