Zhdonov Is Relieved of Duties
As Head of Soviet lower House
Possible Successor
To Stain Pressed
By Main Tusks
By the Associated Press

LONDON, Feb 26.-Because of the
pressure of work connected with his
main duties" the Moscow radio says,
Col. Gen. Andrei Aleksandrovitch
Zhdanov, often mentioned as a pos
sible successor to Prime Minister
Stain, has been relieved of his post
as chairman of the Council of the
Union of the Supreme Soviet at his
own request.
The Council of the Union is the
smaller of the two houses of Russia s
Parliament. There was no i'm
mediate indication as to the signif-
icance of the action. The Moscow
radio broadcast only bare details
last night and the Soviet monitor in
London said little or no implication
was expected.
Gen. Zhdanov is secretary to the
Central Committee of the Com
munist Party, chairman of the Allied
Control Commission for Finland, and
a member Of the Politburo, inner
council of the Soviet government.
He was unanimously elected chair
man of the Council of the Union
last March IL.
Gen. zhdanov, who is 81 years
old today, was the hero of the 29-
month siege Of Leningrad by the
Germans. Long leader of that
city's Communist Party, he sternly
led the long resistance which helped
turn the tide against the invasion.
He recently has been a leading
figure in the Russian drive to purge
Soviet literature and art Of tend
encies to stray from theological aims
and signed DEGREES intended to end
abuses of the collective farm system

into Hungarian internal affairs to
further the cause of communism. y
According to an official announce
ment made through MTI, the official

Army"
1t. Gen. v. P. Sviridov, who is
also chairman of the Allied Control
Commission for Hungary is supreme
commander of the Russian occupa-
ton forces.
Small Holder leaders said the
real reason" the Russians arrested
Mr.. Kovacs was that Hungarian
Communists had been unsuccessful
in attempts to have his parlia-
mentary immunity waived.
Communist leaders, notably Min
lister of the Interior Laszlo Rajk,
have accused Mr.. Kovacs of taking
a leading role in a Communist
exposed front against the republic.

ID. {. Founding Traced
To Congress Woes
In Other Cities

One reason for the establishment
of Washington was that Congress
had experienced difficulties with
local governments wherever it had
sat, H. Paul Caemmerer, president
of the Columbia Historical Society,
said last night in a talk on the his
tory Of the Federal City before that
group at the Mayflower Hotel.
DR.. Caenmerer, who is secretary
of the National Commission of Fine
Arts, quoted Tom Paine:
I'm any one of the places where
Congress resided philadelphia, New
York and New Jersey, the municipal
authority, privately or openly, op-
posed itself to the authority of
Congress, and the people of each of
these places expected more attention
from Congress than their equal share
with the other States amounted to"
Thomas Jefferson, the speaker
said, was responsible for the fact
that the public buildings of Wash
ington were of classical design in
stead of Georgian, the motif OF
American Colonial architecture.
DR.. Caemmerer in recalling that
Washington became the seat of
Government in November, 1900,
spoke of a pageant which the So
ciety is suggesting and for which
members are volunteering to do the
research. Tableaux will be sug-
gested for the pageant, such as the
scene at Suffers tavern in George
town, when President Washington
met with the 10 owners of the land
in this locality and made an agree
ment with them for the deciding Of
land for streets and purchase Of
land for public buildings.
These new members were elected
to the historical society: James j.
Betz, Joseph r. Betterley, H. Curley
Boswell, R. M. Brennan, Howe P.
Cochran, Harry M. Hull, Thomas
E. Lodge, William Payne Meredith,
w. L. Powell, jr., and Harry Strick-
Ter of Luray, Va.
The annual dinner will be held at
the Mayf1ower Hotel on April IL.
The theme will be the restoration
of the Francis Scott Key mansion.

You could file separate returns on
form W., but not a joint one, since
the combined income was $4,000 or
more.
Or-you could file a joint return
on the 1040 long form, which is for
income of SIS 900 or more
Separate Forms Allowed.
Husbands and wives can't file
separately on form W. in the nine
community property States of Ari-
zona, California, Idaho, Louisiana,
Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Texas and Washington.
They can file separately on the
1040 short form, if their individual
salaries are under $4,000.
If you know that your deductions
for things like medical bills and
charitable contributions-are more
than 10 per cent of your income
don't use form W.. You'll lose
money.
In such case use the 1O40 long
form where you'll have to itemize
your deductions but can take full
credit for them. Even though using
the long form means figuring out
your own tax.
There's no place on form W. for
listing deductions. You don't have
to because a standard deduction OF
10 per cent for every one using form
W. was allowed for in the tax
withheld during the year.
That's why-if your deductible

Railroad Association
Sees No Great Conflict
With Young's S Group

The Association of American Rail-
roads sees mo material area for
conflict" with aims announced by
Robert r. Young this week in
forming the Federation for Railway
Progress, R. V. Fletcher, president
of the association, said today
He commended the federation's
stated objectives for progress, eff
cheney and better railroad earnings" :"
He noted that the Chesapeake &
Ohio Lines and two other railroads
controlled by Mr.. Young through the
Allegheny Corp. continue to take
part in activities covered by approx
imately three-fourths of the associa-
tions general budget.
Mr.. Fletcher, however, took issue
with Mr.. Young's charge of banker
domination of railroads.
Sees No Such Evidence.
II can only say that in IS years in
the railroad business I have seen no
evidence of such domination" Mr..
Fletcher commented. Perhaps the.
real question is whether the bankers
are located in New York or in some
ether city"
He also denied Mr.. Young's con-
tention that the American Associa-
tion lobbies for noncompetitive prac-
tices. Remarking that Mr.. Young
apparently referred to association
support of the Bulwinkle-Reed bill,
Mr.. Fletcher declared Mr.. Young ac-
lively supported features of the bill
which apply to rate conferences and
suggested. only minor notifications
of other provisions.
The bill, pending In Congress,
would exempt railroads from anti
trust law prosecution in connection
with procedures for arriving at rate
agreements, when such procedures
are approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Mr. Young's federation announced
today that John H. Payne, jr., for

able size with a more dilapidated

A number of projects are under
way, however, he said, which will
raise the standards here. Among
them he listed the hospital merger
called for in the Tydings Act, the
proposed Veterans Administration
Hospital in Arlington and expan-
sion of the National Institute of
Health.
The G. w. U. Hospital project also
will be a big help, he said. He
lauded the medical school and paid
tribute to its dean, DR.. Walter A.

medical educators of the country"

there had been 81 per cent in

admitted to hospitals, he said. Con-
ditions have been made worse by an
increase in population, a shortage
of doctors and nurses and over
crowded housing, he asserted.
Alcoholics "Sick People"
Calling attention to cases where
patients need special treatment for
emotional disturbances but need not
be committed to mental institu-
tions, DR.. Overholser said the new
psychiatric ward would meet these
requirements.
There is talk of setting up
clinics for alcoholics to handle them
before they get to court" he said.
well, a lot of them don't even
get arrested. They need special
treatment.
This large group Of sick people
can be cared for at George Wash
