manded last night by the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association as
means of combating juvenile de-
linquency.
Association pointed out that area
now used as the Fairlawn Park
Golf Course originally was intended
to be a playground for children.
Some members declared that profits
from the golf course were being used
to develop recreational facilities in
other communities, while children
in the Randle Highlands area con-
tinue without adequate Fairgrounds.
1t was moved to indorse two re-
ports made to the Federation of CT

pertain to the replacement of the

Early Action Indicated
On Federal Employees
Retirement Bill

Early action may be taken by the
Senate Civil Service Committee on
the Aiken bill to provide for re-
tirement of Government employees
with full annuities after 80 years
service, regardless OF the age of en-
ployes.
Chairman Downey, Democrat of
California, has referred the bill to
a subcommittee and indications to-
day were that hearings may be held
next week. Members of the sub
committee are Senators Mead. Dem
ocrat, Of New York; Scrugham,
Democrat OF Nevada, and Aiken, Re-
publican of Vermont.
Some Capitol Hill observers say
the chances Of subcommittee ap-
proval appear good despite the fact
the Civil Service Commission, in a
letter from President Harry B.
Mitchell, sharply opposed the meas
ure.
The commission argued the cost
would be prohibitive, that the
present retirement law provisions
were very liberal and voiced fears
that removal of age limits would
result in substantial loss to the
Government from the early retire.
ment of the more efficient en-
ployes and the delayed retirement
of the less efficient.
Under present law, an employe
may retire voluntarily after 80 years
service after attaining the age of
so, with full annuities, and after
reaching the age of SIS with a pro-
portionate reduction in annuities.
After companion bill was pre-
sented in the House last year, the
Budget Bureau reported the plan
was not in accord with the program
of the President.

May Fdvors Measure
To Raise West Point
Appointments Of D. {.
Vinson to Ask Hearings
On Move to Increase
Men Sent to Annapolis
BY DON S. WARREN.

Chairman May of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee today voiced
full approval of the bill fostered by
the Commissioners which would in
crease from to IL the number of
appointments from the District to
the West Point Military Academy,
finding the proposal more than JUS
titled by Washington's population.
1t was learned, also, Chairman
Vinson of the House Naval Affairs
Committee has promised to bring
up for consideration soon after Con-
gresS meets the question of hearings
on the proposed increase from to
Is the number of District appoint
mentS to the Annapolis Naval Acad-
envy, also urged by the city heads.
These developments represented
the first real success in the recent
efforts of the Commissioners to OBJ
tain more equitable treatment for
District residents in appointments
to the academies. That the District
now is given far less representation
than it is entitled to on a popula-
ton basis and is asking for less than
a maximum on that basis apparently
proved convincing arguments re-
garding the two pending bills.
Representative May, Democrat, of
Kentucky said he did not see any
reason why the District should not
have as many as IL cadet appoint
ments and added he thought the
District had been neglected" in this
regard and certainly was entitled
to equitable treatment"
Mr.. May said the facts in the case
were so convincing he planned to
lay the question before the full
House Military Affairs Committee
for action soon after Congress meets
Monday with the thought that per-
haps reference to a subcommittee
and hearings may not be necessary.
He suggested the committee may be
willing to report the bill out favor
ably at once.
Arguments for bills were sent up
Wy lIlC 10
to Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee Since the bills
were not before his committee, Mr.
Randolph forwarded the letters to
the May and Vinson committees,
urging sympathetic consideration.
The city heads emphasized that
on the basis of the May l, 1912,
census estimate for the District the
BEL ,299 population exceeded that of
II States each of which has far
more cadet and midshipmen APP
pointments than the District. These
ranged from IL to 20 cadets and
from Is to 25 midshipmen, as
against the Districts six cadets and
five middies. The IL States are
Montana New Hampshire, Vermont,
Rhode Island, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Idaho wyoming. New Mex

Paul Hits Tax Bill
As Tragic Failure;
George Defends Il
Mccorron Sees chonoes
In Renegotiotion Low
As Intellectual

The $2,275 900 900 tax bill was
called a tragic failure" by Ran
dolph Paul, Treasury general coun-
sci, last night, while Chairman
George of the Senate Finance Com
mittee defended 1t as representing
"just about all the people can
stand"
The Treasury sought $10,50O ,OO0, :
900 in new revenue. but from the
start 1t was apparent neither branch
of Congress would go that far
While Mr.. Paul was condemnine
the bill before the Indiana State
Bar Association at Indianapolis
Senator George was at a micro
phone In Washington, telling a
coast-to-coast audience the Treas
ury's goal would disrupt national
economy unless new sources of rev.
enue were adopted.
They continued to disagree on the
probable yield Of the bill. Senator
George said it would bring in 81
us, 900, 900 in year. Mr.. Paul said
it would collect a net of only $780,
0O0, 900, taking into account the Sen
ate committees atcion in freezing
the social security tax at per cent,
instead of allowing it to double au-
tomatically.
Paul Denies Sum Too High.
Mr.. Paul said the Treasury's $10,-
500, 0O0, 900 request might have been
criticized as inadequate. but it could
hardly be fairly condemned as too
drastic" Senator George had said
the Treasury wanted to get more
than so per cent Of that increment
from individual taxpayers and 1.-The
great bulk of the American people
could not stand this increase.
The chairman pointed to the
Treasury's opposition to possible
new revenue raisers. such as COM
pulsory savings, general sales tax
or an excess profits" tax on indi-
viduals.
Many of us in Congress and else
where think that we have about
reached the bottom of the barrel
with respect TO raising additional
revenue from present sources of
taxation said Senator George.
Mr.. Paul hit hard at the Renego-
tiation Act amendments, declaring
they would take the strength out
of the law under which the Govern
ment RECEIVERS excessive profits from
contractors. He said the changes
would leave "a facade OF war profit
control with no reality behind it."
Minority Report Offered.
-Four members of the Finance
Committee have signed a minority
report criticising the amendments
Senator McCarran. Democrat. of
Nevada, came out last night against
the Finance Committees changes in
the war contract renegotiation law.
declaring they would render the act
Intellectual.
Senator George did not touch
on the controversial pro-
posals, but told his listeners:
L think I can assure you that
there Is little opportunity for making
lnordinate profits out of war when
corporate war profits are taxed at
80 per cent and individual incomes
are taxed by the Federal Govern
ment alone as high as 80 per cent.
as will be the case under the Senate
Finance Committee bill"
He also said tax committees on
both sides of the Capitol, aided by
their experts and the Treasury are
giving serious consideration to SIM
plifying income tax computat ions
