Trade Board Attacks
Unequal D. {. Tax Plan

The House-passed O'Hara amend
ment to the District income tax law,
which would exempt Federal officials
and employees who claim residence
elsewhere. was blasted as "inequit-
able and discriminatory" by the
Washington Board of Trade yester-
day.
If the amendment is passed by the
Senate, the board suggested through
its official monthly publication that
the entire District income tax law
should be repealed. The publication
goes to more than $500 members of
the Board of Trade, the Junior
Board of Commerce and members
of Congress.
The magazines editorial asserted
that the District law would mot be
tolerated for "a hours in any other
jurisdition in the country" Regard
ing the new amendment, it said:
IF this comes to pass, it appar-
emily means that the efforts of the
past 10 years to secure an income
tax law for the District comparable
in most respects to laws written in
more than 30 States have failed and
that Congress will not even give us
an equitable law.
Under the circumstances
shouldn't serious thought be given
to repeating the entire personal in
come tax law in the District?"

Columbia Historical Group Hits
Canal Street Site for Key 1ouse

Mai. Gen. U. S. Grant III, PLAN
ming commission chairman, told
Senator Robertson his commission
felt reconstruction of the house on
the Thirty and Canal site
would prove less costly.
Speaking as an individual, how
ever, he admitted a restored Key
house on the site called for in the
resolution would screen the rear
premises of Georgetown stores on M
street and make a more attractive
approach for motorists entering
the city.
Would Perch on Cliff.
Mr.. Lincoln said the site proposed
by the planners would perch the
house on top of a 40-foot cliff and
require visitors to enter it from
Prospect avenue. which dead ends a
block to the west.
1--WE might as we'll abandon the
project if the Thirty-seventh and
Canal site is used" he said.
Senator Robertson said he would
place the measure before the full
Public Lands Committee Monday.
The future of the historic build
ing must be decided before contrac-
tors remove it from its present site
just west of the Georgetown end of
Key Bridge to make way for the 4
street skyway.

Senate Group Weighs
Protest on District
Building License Bill

A Senate District subcommittee
today had before it a protest that
the House-passed bill to allow the
Commissioners to set up sliding
scale of building licenses, based on
the cost of inspecting them, would
be unfair.
The protest was made by property
owners yesterday on grounds the
legislation would be inequitable to
small home owners who take in
boarders.
The protestants told Senator Nc
Grath, Democrat. of Rhode Island
chairman of the Public Service Sub
committee of the Senate District
Committee, the bill would force
owners of one-family houses who
take in more than one roomer to
go through the red tape of building
inspection and taking out rooming
licenses.
In Same Situation.
Owners of two-family houses who
took ir any roomers at all would
find themselves in the same situa-
ton, it was said.
District residents testified they
approved of sliding scale of license
fees that would cause large apart
ments and hotels to pay larger fees
than small ones.
One, however, John A. Savage OF
the Thomas Circle Citizens Asso-
citation said the bill was unconstitu-
tional since it put too much law
making authority in the hands OF
the city heads.
Charles j. Rush, executive secre.
tary of the Washington Real Estate
Board, said the bill should provide
for public hearings on the sliding
scale fees the Commissioners work
out.
Association Favors Bill.
James A. Cobb, representing the
Washington Housing Association, on
the other hand, said his organiza-
tion favored the bill as it was.
Bernard Lucas of the Columbia
Heights Citizens Forum and w. H
Stanton and Joseph Lapiana, jr.
representing the Columbia Heights
Citizens Association, also opposed
the bill.
In addition to a sliding scale OF
License fees based on the cost oil
inspecting buildings, the bill woulc
provide that groups of buildings
under one management must have
licenses for each unit. At present
these require only SIS license
despite the fact some are composed
of large groups of buildings.

signal Miss Powell said Haywood
jumped on the running board and
beat me as hard as he could
through the open window. She
added she had broken off the en-
gagement to him six months ago
and that he was angered because
of it.

speaking of people who suffer mental
injuries in the speed of modern life.
DR.. Williams then explained the
conditioned reflex mathod used at
Freedmen's. He said it was first
suggested by patient who refused
to take orange juice because his
mother used to give him castor oil
in it.

hydrochloride in whisky. 1t takes
