Army Hazard Pay Scales
Get Committee BACKING
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Members of the House Military At
fairs Committee today indorsed the
general principle of revising Army
hazard pay scales to correct in
equities that have developed during
the present war.
Their thought, they said, was
prompted by the fact that infan-
trymen fighting on beachheads
throughout the world receive no
extra pay for the hazard to life and
limb, although such bonus pay is
given to paratroopers, members OF
the Air Forces and creWmen on SUBJ
marines.
Legislation to boost by maxi
mum of $40 the monthly pay of foot
soldiers is under consideration by
the committee, with War Depart
ment backing, and may be re-
ported to the House tomorrow. 1t
does not. however, provide that the
extra money be paid for the hazards
faced by the infantryman, but
rather that he received the bonus
for becoming proficient at his work
Under its provisions an expert in
fantryman' serving in the United
States would receive IS extra
monthly, while one in a combat
area would receive $40.
Chairman May joined with other
committee members in agreeing that
the pay scales should not be adjusted
until after the war.

Society Burglar Start,
Serving Prison Terms
james P. Mitchell Free
For Year Under Bond

James P. Mitchell, 81. of the 1400
block OF N street NV, so-called
society burglar, today began serving
terms totaling from 21a to 71a years
in prison on two charges of house.
breaking and larceny on which he
was convicted and sentenced last
year in District Court.
Mitchell had been free under
bond pending appeal. The Court of
Appeals reversed the District Court
conviction, in line with the Nc
Nabb decision in the Supreme
Court. In the McNabb case the
Supreme Court held that confess
sions were inadmissable where per-
sons had been detained overly long
before arraignment
The Court of Appeals, in its rul-
ing in the Mitchell case, pointed to
District law requiring prompt ar
raignment.
The Supreme Court. however, re-
versed the Court of Appeals ruling
in the Mitchell case, asserting that
confessions by Mitchell had been
made voluntarily shortly after his
arrest. The Justice Department
had moved to have the Mitchell
case reviewed by the Supreme Court
to obtain clarification on the ex-
tent to which the McNabb decision
applies in criminal cases.
In addition to the two cases on
which Mitchell was convicted, there
are % other house breaking and
larceny charge still pending against
him.
Mitchell was prosecuted in Dis
trict Court by Assistant United
States Attorney Bernard Margolius.

Test Due on Treatinq
Money as Commodity
By the Associated Press.


A new question OF law, whether
money is commodity in COM
merce, is involved in the Govern
ment's small loan case in which IS
men and 40 corporations were in
dicted last week on antitrust charges.
Justice Department attorneys said
yesterday 1t was the first time money
has been treated as commodity
in commerce. The case rests on
the premise that money itself is a
commodity and when it crosses
State lines it puts the money lenders
in interstate commerce.
If they are not in interstate COM
merce they are not subject to regu-
lation under the Sherman Anti
trust Act.
The indictment returned in San
Antonio, Tex, charges that in the
operations of the defendants there
is continuous flow of money, bills
of exchange, checks, drafts and
other media of exchange" between
the headquarters of the various
small loan chains" and their branch
Offices. This flow, the indictment
says, is across State lines.
The Supreme Court has just ruled
that the insurance business is in
interstate commerce and is subject
to regulation under the Antitrust
Act. But in the insurance case, it
was not money which was treated
as a commodity. but insurance
policies.
The defendants in the small loan
case are charged with conspiring to
fix interest rates. They also are
charged with conspiring to create
"slush funds" and to use them in
influencing members of State Leg
islatures and city councils not to
interfere with the high-rate loan
business.

Inheritance Tax Laws
Simp|ified by District

District inheritance and estate tax
regulations and amendments have
been simplified and changed to con-
form with decisions handed down by
the courts. the Board of Tax Appeals
and the corporation counsel, Edward
A. Dent, tax assessor, has an
nounced.
The present tax regulations on in
heritance and estates have been su-
perseded by these new regulations,
after their acceptance by the Dis
trict Commissioners last week.
while the new regulations en-
brace no radical departures from
those heretofore in effect, they have
been greatly abbreviated by the
deletion of all sections which are
virtually repetition of the law it
self" Mr.. Dent explained.
A limited number of copies of the
new regulations will be available the
latter part of this week from the in
heritance and estate tax division
Room 7 at the District Building, Mr.
Dent said.

Community War Fund
Support Sought 10
Save Day Care Office
Committee of Citizens
Formed to Avert
Closing June 80

A new move to obtain funds for
operation of the Central Day-Care
Office after its scheduled closing
date June 80 developed today when
a committee of interested citizens
decided to unite into Day-Care
Board to appeal for Community
War Fund support.
John ]. Hasley, chairman of the
Civilian War Services Board, re-
ported to the committee, meeting at
the WYCA, that the Commission
ers had ordered the center closed as
a civilian war services agency.
The Office has been operating un-
der this boards direction with Com
munity War Fund support for many
months.
The committee elected Joseph D.
Kaufman, its temporary chairman,
as the permanent chairman of a
new board to appeal to the Com
munity War Fund to grant more
money for the same counselling and
guidance program under different
auspices.
The War Fund has made four
previous grants for the program in
the last two years of which $700 still
remains for possible operation fof
the office through July Is.
A. suggestion that the newly
formed Day Care Board might also
appeal to the District Red Cross
was made by william Flather. Mrs
Catherine Norton, executive secre-
tary, Council Of Social Agencies
emphasized, however, that the Day
Care Committee would then have
no control over the service. Ian
ham Act funds, which support the
public school nursery centers, are
not appropriated for the Central
Day Care Office because that agency
only gives advice and addresses OF
foster homes rather than actually
operating centers.
