District Advocates Need Joint Legislative Program


through increased taxation, new
forms of taxation or probable fur-
ther increase of the Federal pay
ment. There is such extensive dis
satisfaction with the iniquitous and
inequitable District personal income
tax law that its repeal Is being
earnestly sought. AZ a substitute
measure there is a widely supported
demand for the enactment OF
retail sales tax.
Such a plan Is supported by the
Municipal Finance Committee OF
the Washington Board Of Trade.
This organization is just now en-
gagged in a referendum Of the board
membership of between seven and
eight thousand members on the sub
stitution OF a retail sales tax for the
present District personal income
tax. The latest information as to
the results of this poll OF the board
members indicates that more than
80 per cent of the membership
favors such legislation.
A number Of organizations, some
tot which formerly opposed the sales
tax, now take a position favoring it.
Some organizations are planning
to urge vigorously upon Congress
the passage of a permanent summer
daylight-saving time act for the
District of Columbia. The District
Federation of Womens' Clubs at its
monthly meeting last week reat-
firmed its opposition to dayight-
saving time for the District. It's
opposition to this proposed legisla-
ton is conditional, unless it were
put on national basis.
There are doubtless number OF
other items of wanted District legis-
lation which might get through un-
der carefully planned concerted
action. Several times in the past
Joint conference has been held oh
organizations striving for generally
approved legislation and encour-
aging success achieved when a care
fully devised procedure has been
! followed.

portraits revealing the rugged char
acter of the waterfront natives to
delicate pictorials OF sea and sand.
The dead calm Of a summers day
on the water front is ably inter-
preted by Mr.. Gregory's "Shoreline,
Provincetown," with its curving
sweep OF. cottage-bordered beach
while 1.-THE Mast" is an interesting
composition of lines and angles
with sharp contrasts Of light and
shadow, yet having an excellent
range Of the middle tones necessary
to bring out the fine texture of the
masses Of nets and rigging. Express
sing a darker mood is 'Danse
Macabre," dune picture Of wind
swept shrubs set in a skyline of
towering cloud masses that tell OF
the coming storm.
The 50-print show is a we'll
rounded collection Of photographs
devoted to one Of the most pictur-
esque areas of the New England
coast. It is well worth seeing.

CanOl Refinery To Be Junked

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of State Byrnes disclosed today that Canada has agreed to let the United States junk and sell piece meal part of a Sl33,000,000 war time white elephant-the Canol oil refinery and pipe line project
 Under a pact reached last Fri day, the United States may sell all or part of Canol project No. 1 to the Canadian government of other buyers, remove what it cant sel, or merely abandon it..
 The agreement, Byrnes said in a report to Congress, covers pipe line running from Norman Wells, Northwest Territory, to White horse, Yukon Territory, a refinery at Whitehose, and related facilities
 It does not cove Canol project Nos. 2, 3 and 4-systems set up to distibute the refinery's finished products-becauSe the army has not declared these surplus.
 Byrnes reported an investigation disclosed it is doubtful that "any governmental or private agency will desire to acquire the pipeline and refinery for use in place"
 The Canol project was intended by the joint chiefs of staff to de- velop an oil field in northern Can ada to supply fuel for an Alaskan aerial offensive against Japan. The offensive never materialized.
 The Senate war Investigating committee denounced the enter prise in a report last fall as a flaming waste. The committee said the action of Admiral Ernest J. King and General Brehon Som ervell of the joint staff in persist ing with the project was a "blot on the record of two otherwise able officers"
 The report said sales will be
