Architects Submit
Plans for Stadium

Detailed plans for national me-
mortal stadium to seat not more
than 100000 spectators and to be 10.
Gated just east of Eastern High
School were submitted today to the
National Stadium Commission ano
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission by H. A. Kuljian
& Co., engineers and architects.
The firm said it hoped it would be
given an opportunity to compete for
the design of the project when final
specifications have been worked out
The proposal said the site at the
foot of East Capitol street, recon-
mended by the planning commission
was the most suitable for the sta
diu1n, but that space available there
would limit the size of the struc-
ture to capacity of 10000. The
project could be enlarged to accom-.
modate 100000 persons, the archi.
tectural firm said, by moving the
present parade ground about 100 feet
eastward.
If the stadium were built on the
site bordering Kingman Lake, the
firm said it would permit a larger
structure, but the character of the
land at this point is such that ii
would not support the weight of a
stadium unless it were bolstered
with expensive pilings. This site, the
proposal pointed out, is about 80
feet lower than the point at the foot
of East Capitol street.

lax Reduction Plans
Delayed Temporarily
BY Pension Relief Bill

Plans for general reduction in
1916 income taxes were left
momentarily up in the air today
by House action in overriding its
Ways and Means Committee to
pass a tax relief bill for retired
Government workers.
Approved by the House, l89 to
100, and sent to the Senate for
study, the bill exempts from Fed
eral taxation the first $1,440 re-
ceived by ex-Government employees
on civil service annuities.
All District government employees
are covered by the bills provisions
with the exception Of teachers, po-
lice and firemen, who have their
own retirement systems
Chairman Doughton, opponent of
this action, called off a committee
meeting which had been set for to-
day to consider general peacetime
tax relief.
ExpcctS Ocnef2l helef.
However, Mr.. Doughton told news
papermen he did not believe the
dispute over the Government-wor
bill would stand in the way" of
general tax relief legislation. Rep
resentative Knutson of Minnesota
Republican leader on the Ways and
Means Committee, said the COM
mittee might want to wait and see
how the bill passed yesterday af-
fects revenues before proceeding
with general tax revision.
Mr.. Knutson said that if the same
principle were extended to all per-
sons, affecting their first $1,440 of
income. it would reduce Federal rev.
enues by $1,000, 100000.
AS passed by the House, however
the bill would reduce revenues by
less than $l,OO0,0OO annually, its
sponsors said. 1t would affect an
estimated $4,000 persons.
Committee Opposed Bill.
The Ways and Means group Wig
orously opposed the bill not only on
its merits but on the grounds 1t
dealt with taxes and should have
been considered by that committee
instead of the Civil Service Commit
tee, which brought it to the floor
The opponents argued 1t gives fa-
vored treatment 10 a small class.
The bill also was opposed by Sec
retary of the Treasury Vinson and
the Budget Bureau said it did not
conform to administration policy.
Chairman Ramspeck of the civil
service group pointed out to the
House that social security benefits
railroad retirement pensions and
veterans pensions already are ex-
empt from Federal taxation.
Mr.. Doughton, In radio address
last night, cautioned the Nation not
to expect drastic tax reductions" at
this time
Cites Huge Debt.
He said that he is pleased that
Congress. for the first time in years
is turning to tax-cutting legislation
But then he cited the huge nationa.
debt with the continuing Govern.
ment military expenditures, and de-
clared:
TO ignore this fact in taking into
consideration tax reduction and tas
relief is to lose sight OF our obliga-
ton to 85,OOo,OO bondholders.
Before there is a sharp reduction
in taxes, he said, there must be a
drastic cut in Government ex-
penditures.
But he had some ideas how Fed
eral tax burdens In the future might
be softened. saying:
State and local governments can
assist by undertaking expenditures
for State and local purposes, and
special groups can help by refrain
ing from urging expenditures OF
large sums by the Government.

were glad to see that there were no
high falutin' creams in the new line
/ because we're just old-fashioned
enough to think that the average
young girl should stick to a good
soap and water routine with plenty
of milk, sleep and exercise to build
her foundation for glamour. De-
/ signed for girls from up, the line
/ includes a gentle SoapleSS sham

mitt filled with clouds of fragrant
