of the city. He has insisted on
sales tax to provide the additional
money he feels is necessary, He
has also suggested the possibility
Of long-term Federal loans to
finance new construction especially
in the school system.
S12,0OO,00 Total.
The original Bates-Cain program
was scheduled to raise between $13,-
5000 and $14,000,000 in addition
to the yield from present taxes.
The O'Hara amendment, it is esti-
mated, will cut the yield by $4,000
600 and bring the total to some
thing like $12,000,o00.
One feature of the amendment
due for careful study within the
next few days is the exemption of
the Federal employe rather than
the Federal salary. 1t has been
pointed out to the confereeS that
many persons hold part-time Fed
eral jobs in addition to making sub
stantial sums in outside civilian
occupations and that under the
present language, the District might
not be able to reach the privately
earned income, 1t is believed the
intent of the amendment was to
protect only the Federal salary.
Other points due for study IN
volve possible interpretations that
would hamstring the District asses
sor in trying to administer the
exemption.
Evening star., 1947-06-29

Thus, he pointed out, the effect of
the amendment will be simply to re-
duce the surplus expected at the end
of the fiscal year and the full impact
of the exemption of Federal en-
ployes would not really hit the city
until the fiscal year of 1949.
This, he said, would give him time
to develop his repeal program of the
personal income tax If it becomes
necessary.
Meanwhile, Chairman Koran of
the House appropriations subcom-
mittee handling the city supply bill
has finished initial ''mark-up" of the
bill preparatory to bringing it to the
House floor.
Horan Delays Final Action.
Mr., Horan has been delaying final
action on the budget to see how
much of a raising program is
finally approved Chairman Taber, of
the House Appropriations Commit
tee, has been urging earlier COM
pletion of the District supply bill.
The original estimates forwarded
to Congress by President Truman
last winter totaled more than $685.

Gently approved by both Houses
brought the total to $4,000, 900.
The Bates-Cain revenue program,
however, contemplated postpone
ment of $4,000, 600 worth of new con-
struction, thus imposing a limit of
something like $96 ,000,0 900 on the
appropriations group.
Mr.. Horan has consistently in
sisted that the program was made

Senate Asked 10 Kill
House Amendment
Barring Nevius Site

Representative Hendricks, Demo-
crat, of Florida has asked the
Senate to eliminate an amendment
to the independent offices appro-
priation bill that would block loca-
ton of the proposed veterans
hospital on the Nevius tract in
Arlington.
The appeal, Mr. Hendricks said
last night, was made to a
Senate appropriations subcommittee
considering the House-approved
legislation.
Representative Smith. Democrat,
of Virginia, objected last week to
the Nevius tract choice after the
House Rules Committee decided
that any opposition to location of
hospital site would take the form
of an amendment to the appropria-
tions bill. On the motion of Mr.,
Hendricks, the House changed the
amendment to allow the House APP
preparations Committee to make a
decision on the site.
Mr.. Hendricks told the Senate
subcommittee, however, that he
thought the amendment should be
knocked out altogether.
The new House rule, he said,
would set a dangerous precedent"
of allowing any member of the
House, regardless of his reasons, to
block the Veterans Administrators
choice of sites for their hospitals.
He said the House Appropriations
Committee, of which he is mem
Der, would hear any member who
had good reasons for objecting to
the location of hospitals.
But this Is no way to be tamper-
ing with the Veterans Administra-
tionis selection of sites or con-
struction of hospitals" he declared.
No action on his request has been
taken by the Senate subcommittee,
headed by Senator Reed, Republi-
can, of Kansas.

|Un-American Probe
Should Be Abolished
|NAACP Declares

The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People yes
terday demanded the abolition of the

mittee and charged the group with
1indiscriminate persecution and
condemnation of sincere liberals"
In a resolution at its 38th annual
convention, the NAACP also charged
that civil rights of ''colored Ameri-
cans never have been protected by
either State or Federal Govern
ments."
The group asked Congress to pass
legislation for stronger enforcement
of Negroes civil rights and de-

President Truman will address

mass meeting at the Lincoln Me-

Eleanor Roosevelt and Senator

At the final convention session
yesterday, delegates denounced the
Taft Hartley labor law as IAN in
credible attack on the rights of
organized labor" The NAACP five
day meeting was held at the John

Bees don't like the hot, sultry
weather any more than you do,
Yesterday was one of those days
that made for short tempers in the
honey bee hives. AS the saying
goes. their stingers were "on edge"

baekeepers, members Of the State

that the tempers of their pets were
short when they met for their an
nual session at the home Of Asso-
citation Secretary George j. Abrams
at Berwyn Heights. In fact, they
almost postponed the annual bee
catching contest, feature OF the
yearly meetings.
Fifteen hardy souls decided to
participate, however, and the con-
test was held among Mr.. Abrams
hives. AS a result Robert e. Lee
of Brentwood is now Maryland's
champion bee catcher. Mr.. Lee bot
tied Is bees in minutes, against
7 for Joe Ditman Of Berwyn, who
was eliminated in the last minute
by a sting
Harold L. Kelly of Silver Spring,
association president. was one of
the first of the contestants to be
eliminated. His sting was received
in the first half-minute of the con-
test. Orion Virts of Brunswick, last
years champion, was stung with
only four bees in the bottle.
