Senate Aide Predicts

James r. Kirkland, counsel to the
Senate District Committee, predicts
that both the individual income and
the personal property taxes here
could be repealed, If a sales tax
were adopted for Washington.
He told the Northeast Business
mems Association in the Continental
Hotel yesterday that the personal
property levy was "a burden on you
that ought to be eliminated"
At the same time Mr.. Kirkland
said 1t would never be poAible to
put into effect a Successful" in
come tax In the District. An at
tempt IN the last Congress, Mr..
Kirkland said, was made ineffective
when all Federal salaries were ex-
empted.
The speaker praised the District
Commissioners as doing an excel
lent job" but he pointed to the 63
autonomous boards in the city gov
eminent, as evidence there should
be a reorganization of some kind.
He proposed that. If the present
commission form OF government is
continued, the Commissioners
should be given more authority.
Mr.. Kirkland stressed the rapid
growth OF the city but pointed to the
fact that the taxable area is rapidly
being reduced by Federal purchase
81 land and expansion OF educational,
religious and foreign government
holdings here.

bridge from the north, headed
toward London, and was about
two thirds of the way through
when the floor collapsed, about
so feet from the south end
One of the heavy cross timbers
supporting the floor evidently
broke under the weight of the
truck and this, in turn, let the
floor itself break. The flooring
parted from one side of the bridge
to the other, almost as if it had
been sawed straight across.
The entire north section of the
floor then pulled toward the
break, leaving gap more than
three feet wide between the north
end of the bridge and the road
proper. The south end of this
section dropped into the stream

same as previous years, while
Magnetic will have Herriott and
John Steele, Broadway stars, as
infielders; Gabby Blazer and Jim
Lincoln, Woodstock boys, as out
fIelderS; Virg Brown, Petersburg
catcher, listed also as outfielder

the time; John Cheney, Rich
wood, outfielder; Bob Whiteside,
infielder; Jack BoWdre, outfielder
catcher; Bill Cramer, outfielder;
and Lloyd Coder, playing man
ager, all from Magnetic.
Fred Allgower, former base
baller who has been Sidelined

for a few years, may try a come
back. He has been playing soft
ball and his arm seems to be OK.
If he can throw as he did a few
years back, Magnetic will have
one of the better hitters in these
parts listed on first base.
