NEGRO EVANGELIST
DECLINES TAX DEBT
AS ORDER OF DEVIL

NEARLC4AG, March 26-(R -
onaflotte authorities puzzled TO-DAY
over what course to pursue with
regard to a Negro paralytic who
styles himself a "corresponding
evangelist" and who conducts an
employment service but who is
accused of refusing to paw the
clty's SIS license fee for such a
business.
The Welfare department said
an investigation disclosed that the
Rev. Thomas H. Williams was
making worlds of money" and
therefore was not eligible for a
charity license.
meantime, city tax collector re-
celved a letter from the evangelist,
saying: please understand that
1t would be a sin for me to take
orders from anyone other than God,
10 yield to your command is like
bowling to the devil. No true Saint
WILL bow to the devil"
The authorities are expected tc
make a decision within a day or
two on what they shall do.

House District Group
Gets Library Report
On Municipal Sefup

The Congressional move toward
home rule for the District moved an
important step forward today when
special report from the Library
of Congress on the complicated or
ganization of municipal government
here reached a House District SUBJ
committee.
Chairman Auchincloss of the sub
committee on home rule and re-
organization refused to disclose the
text of the report at this time. He
said, however, it was a factual sur
vey of the set-up in local govern
ment here prepared by the Legisla-
tive Reference Service of the L.
brary.
The study was based on the first
chapter of an elaborate report on
the District made in 1929 by the
Brookings Institution.
The research people did a very
thorough job" Representative
Auchincloss said. "It will give
everybody an opportunity to see
how really complicated your local
government here is. It will prob
ably be an eye-opener for a lot of
people"
The report will be laid before his
subcommittee for study, Mr..
Auchincloss said, as soon as he can
get the group together next week.
The library experts prepared the
report under supervision of DR..
Ernest S. Griffith, director of the
Legislative Reference Service. It is
about 26 pages in length.

Trade Board Urges
Safe Driving Pledge
On All Members
>

The Washington Board of Trade
today urged all members to help
reduce traffic accidents by pledging
themselves to safe driving.
This development was announced
in view of Traffic Director George
E. Keneipp's comments in the press
late this week on the selection Of
Washington for the grand award In
the 1946 safety contest sponsored
by the National Safety Council.
The trade group pointed out the
following editorial from "The Wash
ington Board of Trade News" ap-
pears to be of unusual timeliness In
regard to safe driving:
Personal Decisions.
after reading the headlines, are
you appalled, by the serious traffic
accidents on streets and thorough
fares in the Metropolitan Washing
ton area? Then why not translate
that momentary dismay into few
personal decisions:
IF you are driver:
Keep your speedometer needle
below 80.
See that your car has frequent
inspection for defects incident to its
age. Don't wait for the annual no.
tice from the Department of We
hicleS and Traffic.
use the new standard hand sig
mails adopted by the District Com
missioners.
Watch what the other driver is
going to do and be ready for any
development.
yield the right of way whenever
it means avoiding danger.
Vow for Pedestrians.
IF you are pedestrian:
Gross streets only at the inter-
sections with the green Highland
watch for cars making left or right
turns on the same signal.
Make VOW to follow this rule
and encourage family and friends to
do likewise.
Always be alert-glance in all
directions before stepping from the
curb into the zone of traffic.
Take unhurried time to cross
streets. Accidents are often caused
by undue rush on the part of the
pedestrian, or driver, or both.
BE willing to yield the right Of
way whenever to insist means pos
sible hazard. ."
"It can all be summed up in one
general rule" the editorial con-
cluded, BE careful, alert and mind
full of the other person, whether he
rides on rubber or walks on leather" !"
