Tax Revenue Sources

The Montgomery County Board
of Commissioners yesterday in
structed its president, Alfred D.
Noyes, to appoint a committee
whose function it would be to make
a survey of additional potential
revenue sources for the county.
Willard F. Day, county super
visor, warning the commissioners
that the county must have an
adequate revenue" pointed out
that under the present trend, where
In the dollar is shrinking" pres
ent tax provisions will not be
enough to meet the future increased
costs.
He stressed that county revenue
is necessary for these primary uses
schools, roads and police. Now is
the time, he warned, to make sure
that initiation will not leave either
of the three wanting for money.
He urged that the committee ex-
plore fully Federal, State and
county sources of revenue, and
posed the question OF whether spe-
cial service charges or simply in
creased tax rates would be the an
swer.
Mr.. Day was authorized at the
meeting to advertise for bids for Is
new school buses, after Superin-
tendent of Schools Edwin w.
Broome had advised the commits
sloners that that number was
urgently needed.
Lacy Shaw, Montgomery County
representative for the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission,
promised in a letter read at the
meeting that the trash collection
situation is improving all the time.
He said that more and better men

Shoe Buying
Wave Fails 10
Appear Here
Many Shops Report
Stocks Already Low
From Increased Sales
BY MALCOLM LAMBoRNE, Jr.

~ AsAAAA<SSASA AfA4f1DonlNE, JEs
The buying spree expected by shoe :
dealers today-the first day in near
ly 50 months in which all types of
shoes are ration free-failed to ma
terialize in stores here.
Managers of two large shoe stores
on F street reported no rush at
opening this morning, while num-
Der OF other shops said rationings
end had no effect on their busi-
nesses. A woman shopper in one
store turned over a shoe stamp to
the salesman, who explained that
1t was no longer necessary.
Some merchants, however, eyed
already low stocks and hoped for
new supplies soon. Many shops ex-
perienced increased sales recently
in anticipation of the end of ra-
tioning, which was announced late
yesterday by Price Administrator
Bowles.
Bowles Sees Some Trouble Spots.
In terminating rationing, which
began February 8, 1943, Mr.. Bowles
declared trouble may develop in
some areas and consumers may not
be able to buy all the styles they
want.
But both the War Production
Board and the OPA have agreed,
after careful study, that no general
hardship should result from the
discontinuance of shoe rationing,"
the price chief declared.
National production of shoes has
reached the monthly rate of 28,-
100000 pairs and may go to 30,000,-
600 pairs by December. The Ma
tional Shoe Manufacturers Asso-
citation in New York promised last
night that recent expansion OF
production soon will make it pos
sible to provide a wide array of
smart footwear in full size range
such as the consumer has not had
in years."
Store Limits Purchases.
One large dealer here said his
store has been limiting custo-
mers to one pair per sale, regardless
OF the number of ration coupons
held by the purchaser, and said the
practice would be continued for a
| time.
The OPA and representatives Of
the shoe industry planned a sec
ond meeting today on the question
Of increased ceilings for footwear.
Manufacturers say military and
nonrationed shoes were their profit
makers during the war and that
they stand to lose money unless
prices for other types are raised.
Both sides refused to comment
following yesterdays meeting.
Style Restrictions Modified.
| In another action yesterday, the
War Production Board modified
wartime style restrictions for wom-
ems wear.
From now on, dress manufacturers
will be permitted to use as much
material as they want in making
balloon, dolnlan and leg-of- mutton
sleeves in dresses, coats, jackets,
blouses, lingerie and lounging wear.
Eight other notifications were
authorized Including use of belts
or sashes more than 2 inches wide,
cuffs for slacks and pajamas and
evening skirts and dresses made of
wool
The OPA reminded consumers and
the trade that with the end of shoe
rationing, all ration stamps, certifi-
Gates and checks for shoes are now
valueleSS and may be discarded.

HOLLYWOOD STAR-LITES
By CHUCK cOcHARD

Hollywood's contribution to he servicemen is unequalled in any other city in America, larger or smaller.
 In addition to what Hollywood has done for the entertainment of fighting men overseas and in camps, both in stars personal ap- pearances and in providing films for amusement, the Hollywood Guild Canteen, which houses and feeds thousands of servicemen each month, and the Hollywood Canteen, which en.ertains them, and the Hollywood USO, the Red Cross and other agencies, as well as individuals-all who have done great work along line.
 THANKS to the hundreds of movie personalities who have turned their homes and swimming pools to the visiting servicemen- people like Mary Pickford and James and Mrs. Gleason and others who open their swimming pools and estates to the men reg ularly.

PUBLIC DUTY NO.
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

For the past two weeks readers of the Post-lntelgen cer have found at the head of this page timely and pointed excerpt from the address of Gen Douglas Mac Arthur at the Japanese ceremonies.
 In his supreme hour of triumph the conqueror of Nip pon had foremost in his thoughts the sutterngs and sacrifices of the men in whom he led through the dark days of the Pacific war.
 And after well earned and fitting eulogy of the who fought with and under his command he exhorted this nation to live up to its supreme obligation to them
 "They are homeward bound" he said. "Take care of them"
 Even since he uttered this sharp reminder tens of thousands of those who successfully and bril- anty carried the to the shores of Japan have come home Hundreds of thousands are on the way home
 For those who return to maimed or disabled there is nothing that the people of America no anxious to do.
 The Veterans Administration exists as the special custodian of their welfare.

POSSESSION IS NINE POINTS
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The ancient theory that possession is nine points or the law can be seen in actual operation these days members of the Allied powers crowd time in order to occupy bits of terrain upon which they believe they have just claims. The swift movement of the Sovlets into Manchuria into Port Arthur and other key cities is one example The which to be on between the central government of China and the Brush m the direction of Hong Kong is another And ot course the Communists of North China and the troops o Chlang Ka-Shek have been conendng, ever since the surIe- der of Japan to take as much terrlOory as 'ey possibly could. u
 While there certain danger in these contests, all of which can't be called friendly still there IS no real reason why any of them should end in serious trouble If the Allied powers in fact have drawn workable plan for peace any of the difficulties which might arse can be settled amicaby.
 Britain China and Moscow all realize the fact. But still they are moving heaven and earth to place them selves the best possible position to bargain when final agreements drawn Each calculates and reasonably enough that its best interests will be served ii its own claims can be backed not only with argument but with the fact that of current occupation as well.
 The day may come when any nation can entrust with complete confidence parts of it's domain to the hands of another But this not yet generally true, although both Canada and England without any expression of fear have allowed Americans to take parts of their territories For the most part however, traditional suspicious still with us, although there is no deny ing they have diminished tremendously in recent years We still race to be the first the ground but we're willing to stop and talk arbitration when the other fe lows arrive. few generations ago he who came last found nothing but steel to greet him.
