Plans for New Church
Are Explained 10
St. Paul 'sParishioners

Parishioners Of st. Paul's Episco-
pal Church saw for the first time
yesterday an architects sketch OF
the interior of their new church
which is to be constructed as soon
as possible on K street, between
Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth
streets NV.
The picture was presented at a
special meeting following the early
morning service at st. Thomas
Episcopal Church, where the con-
gregation has been worshiping
since it left it's former building on
the site of the new George Wash
1ngton University Hospital, on
Twenty-third street NV.
Designed to seat about 400 per-
sons, the new edifice is to be in the
shape of cross. The architecture
was explained to the parishioners
by the Rev. Arlington A. McCallum.
rector, and by Wales H. Jack, junior
warden of the church and vestry
treasurer, based on a report by the
architect, Philip Hubert Frohman,
architect for the Washington Ca
thedral.
while the design is conservative
and is based on English ecclesias-
tical architecture of the 11th to
the 14th centuries" said the archi-
tect's explanation, yet in no sense
is it copy of any medieval church.
The front facade and the exterior
and interior of the nave combine
the strength of Norman and the
pointed arches of the early Gothic.
The round stone piers and cap
itals in the nave are Norman in
character, the arches of the nave
arcade are pointed Norman, and
the groups of lancet windows are
similar to those of Early English
Gothic"
The organ, some stained-glass
windows and white marble from
the old church will be Incorporated
in the new structure. All the round
columns in the interior will be at
the ends of the pews, so as not to
obstruet a view of the altar. The
reredos above the altar and sanctu-
ary ceiling will be decorated in
color and gold, and there will be
tall traceried windows in the sane
tuary.
The church will be of solid
masonry, with exterior walls of To-
cal stone and columns and trim of
limestone.

Truman Still Fayors
Vinson Tax Cut Plan,
Leaders Believe

Congressional leaders left their
weekly conference at the White
House today with the impression
that President Truman still prefers
the Vinson tax reduction program,
which has been departed from both
by the House and Senate Finance
Committees.
This plan, proposed by Secretary
of the Treasury Vinson, recommend
ed the following three-point pro-
gram:
ID For relief to individuals, repeal
of the per cent normal tax; CD for
corporation relief, repeal of the ex-
cess profits tax at the start of 1916;
90 reduction of a score of excess
taxes on July / back to the 1912
rates.
If this program is to be enacted
finally, both branches will have to
yield in conference. The House voted
to keep the excess profits tax until
1947, with the rate reduced from
85.5 to go per cent. The Senate
Finance Committee followed the
Vinson repeal recommendation, but
the House and Senate Committees
went further than the Treasury in
reducing normal and surtax rates
on individuals and corporations
The Senate Committee rejected the
cut in excise taxes, but the House
approved them.
Under the bill awaiting Senate
debate, when wartime liquor taxes
are reduced, dealers will get refunds
on floor stocks bought at the higher
tax rate.
Just when the alcoholic beverage
and other wartime excises will &c
down still is in doubt. The House
voted to cut them July 1. The Sen
ate Finance Committee reversed
that decision. But, even if Congress
fixes no reduction date in this bill
these sales taxes would automatic
ally revert to 1912 rates six months
| LSl llOotluo1Co dAC oCSid1Co ofC1
by the President or by Congress.
When liquor taxes rose in 1943
the increase was applied to stocks
already in the hands of the dealers
Now the process is being reversed
but in order to get the refunds on
floor stocks when the rates go down
the dealers must prove they have
passed the reduction on to the con-
sumner.
The House bill also provided a
hoor-stock refund on electric light
bulbs when that tax goes down.
The Finance Committee holds a
final meeting tomorrow morning to
examine the completed redraft of
the House bill, before taking it to
the Senate floor for debate We'd
