Morgenthau Urged
To Bar Tax Quacks
By the Associated Press.

o9 lAe Associated Press.
Representative O1oole. Democrat,
OF New York has called on Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenuhau to pro-
tect taxpayers from ''quacks" posing
as income tax experts.
In letter to Mr.. Morgenthau the
New Yorker urged that:
/. The Treasury issue an imme-
diate statement warning the public
of the danger.
2. The Government require an
examination and registration Of all
persons desiring to engage in the
business or profession Of making tax
reports for others.
Mr.. O'Toole said that in New York
and other municipalities "the pres
ent complicated income tax reports"
have brought about a dangerous
situation. with grocery stores,
butcher shops, upholstery stores and
vacant stores displaying signs. In
come Tax Reports Made Out
Neither the Treasury Depart
ment nor the public knows whether
or not the individuals so advertising
have any training, understanding
or ability to accomplish that which
they advertise" he wrote. "Further-
more, all of these signs and their
authors will disappear after March

victimized by these alleged experts

FEC Accuses Hotels
OF Illegal Charges
On Interstate Calls
Communications

The Federal Communications
Commission has accused numerous
hotels throughout the country with
Illegal extra charges on interstate
and foreign long distance telephone
calls.
Such surcharges, the FEC said
IN a public notice issued to hotels
and individuals late yesterday, were
contrary to certain tariffs filed by
the telephone company with the
FEC, and therefore in violation OF
the Communications Act of 1884.
Investigators from the FEC went
to the biggest hotels in Washington
it was learned, but what they found
here was not officially disclosed
Hotel managers declined comment
on the matter, referring questions
to legal counsel of their association.
FEC Stand Challenged.
Joseph c. McGarraghy, attorney
for the Hotel Association of WASH
ington, who has filed two COM
plants in District Court challeng-
ing the authority of both the FEC
and the Washington Public Utilities
Commission over surcharges, was
asked for comment.
He said:
THE FEC statement assumes
of the tariff which we
are contesting in court. If we are
correct in our view that the tariff
is not lawful, then it necessarily
follows that the FEC statement is
without foundation"
The FEC did not indicate what
it will do if hotels continue to
make the surcharges. The notice
was said to be a warning to the
hotels that they should not collect
and to the public that it should
not pay the surcharges. If such
charges already have been paid, it
was understood, the customers could
attempt to get refunds either
through claim to the commission
or action OF their own in court.
Will Decide Position Soon.
Meanwhile. officials OF the Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co.
may decide within a day or two
what position to take on a new
order OF the Public Utilities Com
barring such telephone sur
charges in hotels, apartment houses
and clubs effective March l in the
Washington metropolitan exchange
area. R. A. Van Orsdel, general
counsel of the company, was ex-
pected to return to Washington
today from a trip out of the city.
In an opinion of his own, Gregory
Hankin, usually the dissenting
member of the PUG, concurred with
the other two members in approving
the order providing the telephone
company should furnish service only
at its regular rates, without sur
charges to hotels. But he per-
sonally claimed such surcharges had
been banned for the past 80 years
and could not be collected now.
The new order, effective March
], he explained, directs the tele-
phone company how it should deal
with its agents (hotels, etc) and
enables the company to discontinue
service if the agents persist in vio-
latmg the tariff provisions and
thereby subject the company, as
we'll as themselves, to the penalties
provided by law. 's-
Mr.. McGarraghy, for the hotel
association, however. interpreted the
new order as postponing until March
l the ban against surcharses in the
Metropolitan Area.

Lease-lend Prepares
To Cut Capital Goods
Shipments 10 Britain
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Virtual elimination of capital
goods shipments to Britain under
lease-lend is understood to have
been agreed on by British and
American supply officials here. The
decision is one OF numerous adjust
ments being made to keep lease lend
exports closely geared to military
needs.
For several months the quantity
of machinery going to Britain has
been decreasing steadily, largely be-
cause British plants now have about
all they need except for replace
ments.
The approaching climax of the
war in Europe has brought tight
ening up of the policy of limiting all
lease-lend supplies to those needed
primarily for war purposes. Lease
lend officials apparently are deter
mined not to leave themselves open
to congressional criticism that they
have supplied other countries equip
ment having more use in the post
war period than In the remaining
war months.
That is understood to be in keep
ing with view President Roosevelt
has expressed to some of his aides
that there must be clean break
between expenditures under lease
lend and those designed to help
other nations reconstruct their in
dustries once the war is won.
Efforts already are being made to
return exports to regular commercial
channels where possible. One re.
suit is that textiles, drugs and chem
icals for the Middle East are no
longer handled by the Lease-Lend
Administration. This change back
to normal business methods was

D. {. Housing Plans
Held Limited Attack
On 5Ium Problem

John w. Galbreath, president of
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, last night sharply
criticized slum- clearance efforts
here and declared the provision of
decent housing through public pro-
grams is only, at best, a piecemeal
attack upon the problem which ac-
tually calls for a broad, general
program of urban rehabilitation.
Mr.. Galbreath, here for the meet
ing of the Executive Council of the
Washington Committee of NAREB,
declared at the meeting of the
Washington group in Wardman
Park Hotel.
THE public housing program
could nibble at Washington alleys
with a s20,00OOO0 fund or even a
$l00 900, 900 fund and it still would
not solve the problem. That would
be merely treating the symptoms of
deep-seated disease instead of at
tacking the disease itself. Alley
dwellings and all that goes with
them are only manifestations of the
fact that decay has occurred in this
city as in every other urban COM
|munity."
improvement Plan Urged.
The Washington committee, dur
ing its three-day conference In the
Maydower Hotel, is attempting to
work out program for neighbor-
hood rather than spot" improve
ment.
Mr.. Galbreath said that rather
than make scattered attempts at
|rehousing I'VE should develop
program that will restore attractive
neighborhoods in large areas. This -
he added, calls not only for slum
clearance, but the redevelopment of
entire sections. We must stabilize
major parts of the community
where blight has set in so that We
can halt its march"
The national president also ad-
vocated rebuilding "for an mtelli-
gent land use" This would take
bold planning and even bolder exc
cution. and until this is put into
operation we are always going to
have decay" he declared.
Sessions Continue Today.
Mr.. Galbreath suggested that pri-
vate operation and public process
will have to get together to do a
large-size job" However, he re-
marked that private enterprise will
not be able to do the work "as long
as advocates of socialized housing
insist that theirs is the only
method"
The sessions today will be de-
voted to continuation of round
table discussions on the formulation
|of prospective plans for recondi-
tioning and development of living
quarters in areas where it is be-
lieved a new type of higher stand
ard should be consummated.
