Veterans Plan Appeal
From FPHA Refusal 10
Lease McLean.Unifs

Raymond Sawyer, commander oil
the American Veterans of Worlc
War II, said today that his organi-
cation probably would appeal from
the refusal OF Philip M. Klutznick
head of the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority and Defense Homes
Corp, to lease Mclean Gardens tc
a group of veterans with the option
10 purchase IN two years.
Mr. KlutznickS refusal came at
conference yesterday with men,
hers OF the Veterans Committee and
William Press. executive secretary of
the Washington Board of Trade.
Mr.. Klutznick also denied charges
of Edmund j Flynn, Washington
real estate dealer, that the Govern
ment had refused to supply neces-
sary information on which Mr.. Flynn
could base proposal for co-opera-
tive purchase of Naylor Gardens
Mr.. Klutznick said the kind of in
formation Mr.. Flynn said had been
withheld was for the most part
matters of public record"
Cites Dayton Lease to Workers.
Mr.. Sawyer, speaking for the vet
Grams group, said he was "a little
disappointed that Mr. Klutznick was
unwilling to do for the veterans
what he had already done for war
workers" He referred to the leasing
arrangement made with war work
erS in Dayton, Ohio.
While the veterans group expects
to file bid for Mclean Gardens by
the January 5 deadline, his group
will continue its efforts to get lease
on the property, Mr.. Sawyer said.
At the meeting, according to a
statement from the veterans COM
mittee, Mr.. Klutznick invited the
veterans to present a plan in COM
petition with speculative real estate
operators who have approached De-
Tense Homes Corp.
Doubts justification.
Mr.. Klutznick was quoted as eX-
pressing some doubt that the vet
Grams group could justify occupancy
of the expensive Mclean Gardens.
He suggested that the group con-
slider less expensive Naylor Gardens.
Mr.. Sawyer said Mr.. Klutznick
told the group that Defense Homes
Corp, was expected to return the
maximum number of dollars which
1t had borrowed from the Recon-
structlon Finance Corp. as soon as
possible and had to be COM
mercially minded" in considering
offers to purchase.
Following the meeting, the COM
mittee directed its counsel. William
A. Roberts, to prepare Immediately
for the formation of an all-veterans
mutual housing corporation which
could sponsor a bid in time to meet
the January 5 deadline Mr.. Sawyer
said an alternative bid may be
entered for Naylor Gardens.
Mass Meeting Planned.
Arrangements also are being made
for mass meeting at which the
Veterans Committee will explain
the views Of Defense Homes Corp"
to interested veterans. Mr.. Sawyer
said the meeting will be held next
week
Mr., Klutznick, in his answer to Mr..
Flynn'S charges. said Mr.. Flynn also
had asked permission to solicit ex-
listing tenants of Mclean Gardens
for purchase of individual units
through him as broker. This per-
mission, said the housing commits
sioner, had been refused.
In our opinion, the term CO.

operative for such practice is a
misnomer," the commissioner said.
Any bona1de offer from a properly
organized and responsible Cooper
alive group to purchase the prop
erty for themselves and in their own
interests is equally eligible with
any other offer for full considera-
ton"
No offer had been submitted by
Mr.. Flynn, the commissioner said,
nor by any group represented by
him, although he has been told
that any such offer would be given
full consideration"
What Mr.. Flynn is seeking from
us, apparently, is preferential
option under which we would reject
all offers pending negotiation
through him of sales of individual
units on a brokerage basis"

The purpose of this damper is to
admit air over the fuel bed to &C

this damper in fixed position to
regulate the air intake over the fuel
bed, therefore it is constructed on
a graduating scale.

A New Star
In the Sky

A CHANUKAH TEMPERANCE
OF FRANKLIN d. ROOSEVELT
BY JULIUS ADELMAN
518 Laura st. - Jacksonville, Fla.
On this Chanukah when we
celebrate a great victory of the
Jews over a tyrant of many years
ago, let us not forget another
great man who championed the
cause of freedom and liberty for
all mankind, and who won the
love of people throughout the
world for his tolerance and wis
dom, our late President, Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt.
Happy are the stars, for they re-
joice at the coming of a new
satellite in heaven, for not often
do they have the honor to crown
a new member of celestial heights.
Heavenly Father, Ruler of the
universe, Majesty of Divine Heav-
en-, open up Your gates to this
noble soul. He was kind and
good man, and most of all a
great leader, who led his people
to the brink of a great victory
over the tyrants, just as Mac
cabee led the Israelites to free
dom centuries ago.
Heavenly Father, convey to him
that we, the people of all faiths,
love him tenderly and pray for
him and will always remember
him with great admiration.
Every night may the new star
in the sky shine down and show
the way to a successful culmina-
ton of the noble ideals for which
he gave his life.

missioner Needham c. Turnage on
charge of having transported or
caused to be transported stolen
iewelry in interstate commerce. was
being held on $500 bond today

The charge is the result of an in
vestigation carried on for year

Attorney, and his assistants.
Mrs. Dolmage was acquitted in
March, 1914, of the charge she stole
an antique jewel collection valued
at more than 100000 from her for
mer employer, Otis Beall Kent. On
July "a of the same year she was
convicted of perjury in that case

Court and sentenced by Judge Jen-
nings Bailey to one to three years
in Lorton Reformatory.
She was paroled yesterday morn
| ing after having served one year
and two months of her sentence but
was held for arraignment on the
transportation charge.

tober at the request of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office so witnesses

Mrs. Dolmage. wife of DR.. M. M.
Dolmage, transported or caused
to be transported from the District

worth of jewelry which she knew to
have been stolen.

1914, of the original theft charge,
investigators reported they found
half the jewelry in question in Mrs.
Dolmage's home here, resulting in
charge of perjury to which she
pleaded guilty.

TAXES:
Good Ne,Us

Though the senate and house had
yet to compromise their differ
ences, John @. Public could look
forward to substantial reductions in
income taxes in 1916, and Ameri-
can business was assured generous
relief for the immediate postwar
period.
No less than 21z billion dollars
was expected to be Topped off of in
diviGual income taxes as a result of
provisions for permitting $500 ex-
empions for dependents before pay
ment of the normal per cent levy
and the scaling down of surtax
rates.
Close to another 8 billion dol
lars was scheduled to be pared from
corporation income taxes through
substantial reduction or total elimi-
nation of the excess profits assess
ment; repeal of the declared value
excess profits and capital stock
levies, and graduated decrease in
surtax rates on companies with less
than 100000 net return.
In addition to income tax reduc-
tons, the use tax on automobile and
boats was expected to be dropped.
.Solons were divided on the question
Of wartime luxury levies, however,
with the house for cutting present
rates to prewar levels July / and
the senate against the action.
With reserves well over billion
dollars, both houses were unani-
NOUS in freezing present social Sc
curity payroll taxes at per cent on
employee and employer alike and
forestalling an automatic increase
to 21a per cent apiece January l.
Under the tax relief bill drawn up
by the senate, G.I.s would not be
required to pay taxes on service
compensation during the war years,
and officers would be permitted to
spread tax liabilities over a three
year period interest free.

LABOR:
Setting Pattern

With both Henry Ford II and
United Automobile Workers leaders
expressing confidence in settlement
OF wage adjustment at the COM
pany, government officials held high
hopes that an agreement might re-
suit in the establishment of a post
war pay pattern and clear the way
for speedy reconversion.
Government optimism was well
come note in the dreary labor pic
ture, pointed up by the deadlock in
negotiations between the UAW and
General Motors over the CLIO
unions demands for 80 per cent
wage increase to maintain wartime
"take-home" pay and the corpora
tons resistance to the demands
because Of possible effects on prices.
Setting the pattern for other CLIO
unions, the JAW declared that Gen
eral Motors was well able to dip
into alleged huge wartime profits to
carry over any losses accruing
from higher wages until future pro-
duction reached big volume levels.
Rejecting industrial sentiment for
it's own part, General Motors denied
exorbitant wartime earnings and de-
clared any withdrawal from reserves
would crimp expansion plans.
AS the companies and unions
clashed, the administration worked
on reconversion wage policy de-
signed to guide negotiations through
the troublesome days ahead. Strong
ly influenced by labor, the govern
ment repeatedly favored substantial
wage boosts to maintain wartime
"take-home" pay while freezing
prices at prewar levels, except in
hardship cases.
Giving both capital and labor it's
say in the formulation of reconver-
sion pay program, the government
moved slowly in the establishment
of policy. Hopes ran high that the
forthcoming manag ement-labor par
ley would result in the voluntary
creation of machinery for settlement
of important disputes.
