Senate Group Backs
Tax Waiver on Estate,
Given 10 Red Cross

Following a brief hearing, the
Senate District Committee today or
dered a favorable report on the
Randolph bill, passed recently by
the House, which would exempt the
American Red Cross from payment
OF the Districts inheritance tax on
properties bequeathed to the organi-
zation. This would involve refunds
to the Red Cross of s137 ,040 of in
heritance taxes paid under protest,
which were levied on properties OF
the Clapp and the Lockwood estates
which were given the Red Gross.
Protest Presented for District.
A protest against the bill was pre-
sented for the District government
by George c. Updegraff, an assist
ant corporation counsel, who brought
out that funds of the Red Cross are
spent outside of the District as well
as here.
In reply, H. J. Hughes, general
counsel of the Red Cross, told the
committee most of the States, in
Guiding Maryland and Virginia, have
granted such tax exemptions to the
Red Cross and that it was unfair
to those States which give tax
exemptions for the Red Cross to
have to pay the District tax and
thereby reduce Red Cross funds.
The Red Cross donations from the
States, he said, have been used for
the benefit of District residents.
Second Bill Reported Out.
Senator Hoey, Democrat, Of North
Carolina, acting chairman of the
District Committe, said it was real
lied such legislation affected Dis
trlct revenues but that this goes to
the question of the proper size OF
the Federal payment toward the
District, and this subject was now
being explored by the OMahoney
Subcommittee of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee.
A second bill reported out today,
sponsored by Senator Tydings, Dem
ocrat, of Maryland would set up
additional protection for illegiti-
mate District children adopted by
nonresidents. 1t provides for plac-
ing the new names of the children
on the official birth records here
and for placing the record of the
original names under seal to be
opened only on court order.
