DR.. Williams said he thought 95

tire treatment we're helped, but he
added TO per cent Of the patients
leave the hospital before the treat
ment has gone very far-so distaste-
full is it.
DR.. Williams said he hoped the
Hebert bill would be amended to al
low the staff to treat patients until
they believe the patients are "condi-
toned" against alcohol.

Bill for Larger GAO
Building Raises Cost
Limit 10 "a Million

LEGISLATION for a new, larger Gen.
eral Accounting Office building at
Fifth and G streets, NV. today was
before a House Public Works sub
committee.
Introduced yesterday by Represen-
tative Dondero, Republican, of
Michigan, Public Works Commit
tee chairman. the bill would in
crease the limit of cost of the struc-
ture to s22,S5O0OO. This figure
would exclude more than $1,600,000
already spent on the project. The
overall limit of cost thus would be
raised to about S24,000,000.
Would Complete Plans.
The measure would authorize the
Federal Works Agency, through its
Public Buildings Administration, to
proceed with the completion of plans
for the structure and eventually con-
tract for its construction. 1t would
be much larger and of different
type than the building originally
designed for the same site, for which
Congress in 1910 authorized a
S9,850,O00 cost limit. Appropria-
tions of $6,991 ,998 were made by
Congress for the previously planned
building.
About $5,000000 remains of the
earlier appropriated funds. and this
would be continued and be availa-
ole to the Federal Works Agency,
under the new Dondero bill. But
no new appropriations could be
made, under the measure, until the
fiscal year 1850.
High Cost Cited.
Representative McGregor, Repub-
lican, Of Ohio, chairman of the
subcommittee, said today this pro-
hibition against more appropria-
tions now was inserted in the bill as
it was considered by his subcom-
mittee and Mr.. Dondero.
Testimony before the subcommit-
tee, Mr.. McGregor said, was to the
effect that construction costs now
are too high to proceed with the big
GAO building. The new limit of
cost, at s22,S5O,oOO, he said, was
predicated on an estimate that
building costs would come down in
the future. AS matter of fact,
he said, estimates on the present
cost of the proposed structure were
Is to 20 per cent higher than the
$22 ,850,000 in the bill.
The Public Buildings Subcommit-
tee probably will make a favorable
report on the measure, and send it
soon to the House Public Works
Committee.

f1STc dIG' SOIllt CllC duSooASAls2
and answers on the new Maryland
2 per cent sales and use taxes at
Yesterdays forum meeting of Wash
ington area businessmen in the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
The questions came from the
audience and the answers were by
Walter E. Kennedy, chief of the Re-
tail Sales Tax Division Of the Mary
land controllers office.
@. If someone buys furniture In
our District of Columbia store and
we ship it in our truck to Mary
land address, would the furniture
be subject to the use tax?
A. Yes. The fact that you make
such a delivery in Maryland means
you are doing business in the State
and should collect the use tax.
@. What happens if Maryland
resident comes to a washington
store, buys merchandise there and
carries it back himself?
A. The storekeeper would be obli-
gated to collect the use tax If he
knows definitely that the buyer lives
in Maryland.
@. What responsibility is there on
the part of Washington business
man to collect a use tax on mer-
chandise sold to a Maryland con-
sumer?
A. All I can do is read you the
use tax law, under which any one
selling tangible personal property
for use or storage in Maryland
without license is subject to fine
of from $25 to $1O0.
@. l operate a mems clothing
store in Washington. Do I register
with the State controllers office in
Baltimore and collect the use tax
on goods I sell to Maryland buyers?
A. We hope so. But if John
Doakes walks into your store and
buys a suit and tells you to ship II
to him and you ship it by a common
carrier, all we can do is look up
John Doakes and try to get the
use tax from him.
@. Suppose a Washington store
keeper makes sale to a District
resident but the goods are delivered
to the customers friend or relative
in Maryland, are they taxable?
A. Yes.
@. If a customer lives in Wash
ington at the time he buys an article
in a District store but moves to
Maryland before delivery is made
and final payment is received, is
the article subject to the use tax?
A. suppose you mean situation
in which the buyer pays $50 down on
5000 article while living in Wash
ington and pays the remainder
after moving to Maryland and &C
cepting delivery there. If that is
true, then the article is subject tc
the use tax and the storekeeper must
collect it on delivery.
@. If I take an order for land
scaping work in the District and the
material comes from Maryland, Is
that subject to the sales tax?
A. No. There is no tax unless the
purchaser actually takes possession
of the materials in Maryland.
@. If we sell merchandise te
Maryland for resale there by &
dealer, must we get resale GER
tificate from the dealer each time
we make a sale?
A. A blanket certificate will bt
sufficient. Each time the dealer
orders from you, he will repeat th'
number of the certificate. Wher
the dealer sells the material to th'
consumer, he will collect the tax.
@. I am in the wholesale dlstrl
button OF newspapers and magazines
You mention that newspaper sub
scriptions are exempted from th'
sales tax. Are magazines also ex
empted?

The stopgap funds measure,
carrying $4,000 for emergency
District purposes until the city

dent Truman's action today.
While the emergency bill has sew

Only two of these centers remain
open, on a voluntary basis, the re-

Speed on d. G. Bill.
All possible shortcuts will be made

Districts bill, as soon as it arrives
from the House. Senator Dwor-

he believed the hearings could be
confined to several days.

those items over which there is dis

empting Federal workers who make
affidavits they are subject to State
income taxes back home.

to the O'Hara provision but House

Western Powers
 Clash With SOviets On U. N. Members

LAKE SUCCESS, (P) - The United States, Britain and Aus tralia clashed with Russia today over a Soviet contention that a nations behavior during World War II must be considered in de- ciding whether it shall be a mem- Der of the United Nations.
 Positions taken in preliminary discussions in the membership committee of the U. N. security council indicated that the big powers had not changed their minds from last year when Outer Mongolia and Albania, favored by Russia, failed to get a majority in the security council and Russia vetoed Portugal, Ireland, and Transjordan.
 The committee is considering those five again, plus applications from Italy, Romania, Hungary, and Austria.
 Alexen N. Krasilnikov, of the Russian delegation, said the dele gates could not ignore how a country behaved toward fascism during the war.
 Krasilnikov also emphasized that Russia stands firm on the condition that she must have dip- lomatic relations with a country to approve that country for U. N. membership. That was the reason the Soviets gave for voting against three applicants last Augusa.
 Col. w. R. Hodgson, Australia, declared that participation in the was was laudable but "it is not a standard for admission"

 The Dutch, declaring they would not attack either the civil population or non-military objec- tives, were attempting to immob- ilize harrassing anti-aircraft guns at the fields and the Republican air force, believed to number about 40 obsolescent Japanese planes. many in poor repair.
 The Republican radio, over which Soekarno appealed, said Dutch artillery had opened fire south of Bandoeng, 100 miles southeast of Batavia. The report said two Dutch planes using rock cts attacked Tasik Malaya, in west Java, an dthat other Dutch air craft had strafed Soerkarta- Sraden railway train.
