Retired Army Officers Pay
Ruled Subject 10 D. {. Tax

Lawrence Koenigsberger, sole
member of the Board OF Tax Ap-
peals, announced ruling yester-
day that the pay of retired Army
officer is subject to the District in
come tax.
Involving the case of 1t. William
c. Stone, retired in 1908 for physi-
cal disability, Mr.. Koenigsberger de-
cided that provisions of the law
exempting benefits to veterans from
taxation did not apply.
He held that retired officers do
not receive their retired pay under
laws relating to veterans but that a
retired officer is an officer OF the
Army excused from active duty and
still a member of the military estab-
hshment.
The decision. it was pointed out,
applies only to District income
taxes and did not involve Federal
tax laws and rulings by Federal au-
thorities.

Cases Of Sabotage
Uncovered in Year

Busy agents Of the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation poked into
1925 cases Of suspected sabotage
during the year endsd June 80 and
found that In l,736 cases there was
= evidence of deliberate destruction,
1t was reported yesterday by j.
Edgar Hoover, FBI chief.
None Of the sabotage, Mr.. Hoover
said, was found to be enemy

cations, 81 persons were convicted

cent Of the cases brought to trial.
Sentences imposed on offenders
totaled 33,6l5 years, 2 months and
ii days, and four life sentences.
Fines. savings and recoveries ag-
gregated $21, ,490, ,203.91.
Most Of the FBI's work during the
year, Mr.. Hoover said. was linked
directly to the war. But the run
of-the-mill peacetime violations still
command a large share Of the bu-
reau's time. Besides the sabotage
records, here are some of the other
figures given out by Mr.. Hoover:
Selective service convictions, $500.
Convictions for illegal wearing of
the uniform. 695, compared. with 428

26l cases that have been placed in
the hands of the FBI since 1892, all
but two have been solved, Mr.. Hoover
reported.
Convictions for theft from inter-
state shipments, 668, compared with
1893 last year.
The ideptification division Of the
bureau reported it now has 9O,O43,-

Statler Incident
Washington Post)


 We are not entirely clear to what happened at the Statler Hotel the night of Saturday. Sep ember 25 after the President had delivered his paign speech before MT. Daniel J. Tobin and the members of his teamsters' union There certainly some kind of brawl involving, on the one hand, two naval officers and on the other, indetermnate number of guests at the teamsters banquet who seem to have been aroused, whether by the presidential oratory by some other inebriant, to excess of partisan zeal. The hostilities appear to have been brief and not very deadly. But apparently they were noisy enough to cause the manager to telephone for the Naval Shore Patrol which led the officers away from the of combat The story of the officers Lieut. Comdr Suddeth and Lieut.. Randolph Dlcklns is that the fight began when they refused to say that they intended to vote for the commander in chief" at the coming election. In refusing to answer such nsolent question: the officers it seems to us took the that any citizen should have taken in the circumstances If they were mauled in con- sequence, it outrage
 In normal times such an incident would scarcely be worth comment. Minor brawng is frequent accompaniment of political campaigns conducted in the United States. What distinguishes this par cular brawl is that it occurred between civilians and officers of the United States in uniform and that it occurred in of the most respectable Washington hotels just after the most exalted citizen of the United States had in his capacity a political candidate, been delivering an argumentum ad hominem More over it occurred strained by the excitement and con- fusions of and when the sense of national unity is again giving way to renewal of group cleavage and to the conflict of group interests. One such episode may be of particular importance. But several Of them might increase to the stranng point of the serious social tensions which now exist. The Presidential candidates and their campaign lead CTS should realize they have responsibility in this matter, and responsibility which transcends their political ambitions

HOW BIG A VOTE?

There is serious danger that only minority of qualified American citizens will participate in the national election month Approximately 88 mil lion men and women eligible to vote. But if recent trends at the polls should be borne out on November T. fewer than 40 million will exercise their franchise In 1938 36 million Americans cast ballots-a record number in year involving no presidential contest In 1922 the first wartime congressional election year, the number dropped to 28 million. There were just short of 50 million ballots cast in the presidential election of 1940 and taking into account population growth there ought to be even higher total this year. War dislocations, however, have made voting more difficult-though by no means impossble-for 2 good many citizens.
 Qualified voters in the armed services must com ply with the absentee soldier voting requirements in their home States. Warworkers who have migrated to new communities must either register in the States where they are residing or register and secure absentee ballots in the States which they left Speak ing recently as chairman of the Nonpartisan Asso- citation Franchise Education Henry J.

 Benefic aspects rule today. Plane tary influences are inspiring and stimulating
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under favorable stars that encour- age them to ambitious effort. This is a lucky day for initiative. Girls engaged in the war industries have the forecast of fortunate changes of occupation. Little cause for anxi- ety regarding new jobs is discerned by astrologers.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: A new period of pioneering again is pro- phesied for Americans. Undeveloped agricultural lands will be in de- mand and there will be a move ment of population northward to Alaska as well as to southern states. The west will attract too many settlers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: After the 1914 national political campaign women will demand a remodeling of party machinery Old methods that prevent the people from exer- cising their wishes in the choice of candidates will be superseded The business of the people will be conducted on modern lines that assure safe government.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Uranus aspects have been read as most promising for Rumania as well as Poland. In both countries the work of rehabilitation will be tremendous and should be speeded before the Winter, which will be severe if signs are rightly inter preted.

FCC FLY SPREADS WINGS

Fortnight Chairman Harry Fly of the Federal Communications Commission was listening to testi- mony by New York lawyer Joe Weiner, former OPA official, re- garding a new subscription radio service.
 Weiner proposed an FM radio service with no support from ad- vertisers. Instead of commercial plugs, listeners would pay a small charge-e estimated at five cents a day-to subscribe to this special service. A patented device to elimi- nate noise would be given each subscriber Without this device a non-s subscriber attempting to tune in the service would get noise, not news
 Behind the idea is William

Benton, former president of ad- agency Benton & Bowles, now chairman of Encyclopedia Brit tanica. With him will be Weiner, Taxman Beardsley Ruml and OPA head Chet Bowles.
 Suddenly as Weiner began to testify, Chairman Fly got up and left the room. This is the tip-off on Fly's new job. He is planning to join the Benton firm, and doesn't want it charged that he used his government position to enable the new subscription service to get approval for frequencies.
 Big question is: Who will suc- ceed Fly in about the most thank less job in Washington? Logical successor is straight-thinking EGG Commissioner Cliff Durr, who has won universal respect.
 Paul Porter, now public rela- tions chief of the Democratic Ma tional Committee, could probably get Fly's job but doesn't want it. Likewise Captain Krug of the War Production Board Durr has made no overtures, but the betting is strong he will be the next chair man of the EGG.
 NOTIFY is expected to an nounce his resignation shortly after election.
