KINGS LAKE RANCH for BOYS

Days of the old West will be re1ived this sumner at King's Lake Ranch according to Dick Drabble, Director of Camping for Kings Lake Camp, Inc. The Ranch is located at the former Clyde King Farm the opposite shore from the we'll known Kings Lake Camp. Boys age Il to IA will have the opportun- ity to attend. The camping period will be from June l to August g. Thether boy attends for one week or the whole sea son, he will have an opportunity to participate in such activities as fishing, swimming, boating hiking, crafts work, adventure trips on horseback and fishing camps. Each group of five boys attending the camp will be supervi sed by boss wranGler. There will be an ath1et ic and crafts coun- se1lor pre- sent each day.
 The King' Lake ranch includes a stable and corral, and there vi Il be six cow ponies available this sumner. Rowboats and an outboard motor are incl uded in the ranch ecu ipment. Food served at the ranch wi Ill be largely grown the ranch's garden plot, which is being farmed by Emil La Walters, who will also serve as Ranch Chef. "P1aying for the fun or it" will be the ranch's slogan. Every boy attending will be required to take an houris siesta after lunch each day and 10 hours sleep at night. The he ealth Of each boy will be checked
 daily and a physician vi Il be available on short notice. Cost is S25. a week.

cost, approximately $1,7oo for the round
trip, will be a deterrent to many who other
wise would like to circumnavigate the globe
by air.
It is not surprising that commercial pas
senger flights around the world have come
so soon after the war, for the war had
much to do with speeding up Inauguration
of the service The trail blazing experience
of our Army and Navy transport planes
undoubtedly paved the way for early
Inauguration Of peacetime global flying
Dependable air routes across oceans and
islands and continents were opened under
the stress of war, and invaluable knowledge
was acquired concerning planes, weather
and navigational problems. Much remains
to be learned and done to improve relia-
bility, comfort and safety. Fortunately,
the international Civil Aviation Organiza-
ton has begun to function in this general
field. The prospects are that eventually
aerial voyages around the earth will be-
come as popular and as commonplace as
prewar cruises by sea.

1t Should Be Wiped OFF

We should recognize this improved"
District personal income tax for what it
is-a political shenanigan. 1t is unsup-
ported by logic or fairness 1t contains
cheap little device for tax dodging that
should be beneath the dignity OF the
United States Congress. 1t is even un-
moral But it has been approved and for
the time being we must take 1t.
The tax is levied to meet the expense
of municipal government. Everybody who
benefits from the services rendered by this
government should pay the tax That is
fundamental. But this tax is drawn up on
selfish, political lines. It discrin1inates as
between those on the public payroll and
those whose taxes go to pay their salaries.
Suppose we take three examples. The
three examples relate to citizens in identi-
cal circumstances, in 80 far as their actual
residence in Washington is concerned.
Example No. is the Washingtonian,
claiming domicile nowhere else. He pays
the tax
Example No. 2 is a Government employe.
Though living here, he claims domicile in
one of the States. Such a claim may be
necessary to hold his job under the ap-
portionment-of Offices law. He may come
from a State which levies a personal in
come tax or he may come from one of the
States which do not. 1t makes no differ
ence. Because he is on the Government
pay roll, he is exempt from the District tax.
Example No. is man who works for
himself, or for private employer. He
also claims domicile in one of the States,
like his brother, the Government worker
II the State has no income tax, he will pay
the tax here. II the State does have one,
that State-not the community which
educates his children, furnishes him with
fire and police protection, removes his
trash, etc.-collects the tax on his income
received in the District of Columbia.
AS originally approved by the House. the
OHara amendment establishing these dis
criminations and distortions was not clear
in It's phraseology. The wording has been
improved, but the amendment is as bad as
ever. 1t places an impossible job on the
tax assessor. 1t invites all sorts of
tax lodging. 1t is impractical and
unprincipled.
Senator Cain of Washington Is preparing
bill to remove this tax from the books
1t ought to be removed. A law of this
sort is an iniquitous abuse of its power by
Congress. 1t exercises a demoralizing
influence on honest government It is so
cynical in its implications that self
respecting members OF Congress should
disavow it at the first opportunity. 1t is
impossible to get the House to approve
fair or really productive District tax
on personal incomes. Some other way
of raising the money must be found
Evening star., 1947-07-08

terials, there still are many observers who take
all such claims with the proverbial grain OF
salt They feel certain, at least as far as their
observations 60, that no one has yet actually
determined the effects of. such sprays on birds
and small animals"
Let us beware Of this new powerful drug.
heard one man declare that he would not think
of using any flea powder on his dog containing
DDT certain solution with DDT in it bears
this warning: avoid excessive inhalation and
skin contact. Do not use on household pets or
humans" Even though a spray does not kill
birds, squirrels, dogs, cats and other animals,
it might make them i'll or blind. I hope that
the wholesale spraying Of Montgomery County
has been indefinitely postponed.
MRS H. D. ALBIN,
Secretary, Animal Protective Association.

Shortly after that a very interesting article
appeared in The Star on some scientific dis
covery Of cold air "piling up in the Arctic-or
it might have been the Antarctic. I cut the
article out of the paper and mailed 1t to q
friend interested in such phenomena, so
don't recall all the details. Anyway, it was the
"piling up" of cold air and there seemed to be
a limit to this "piling up" and beyond that the
excess of cold air was carried away by air
currents and might have been responsible for
some of that freak weather.
1t seems the greatest number Of those flying
discs" are seen in the Northwest. Might it be
possible they could be the result of the con-
tinued progress Of the phenomenon Of the
"piling up process in the Arctic2
Admiral Byrd's expedition also noticed
strange happenings in the Antarctic.

In this editorial you strongly intimated that
terminal leave pay was bonus legislation" and
called it two billion dollar cash handout to
veterans"
The recipients of most of this money are men
who spent many months overseas, as other
service personnel used the greater part of their
leave. Army regulations provided leave for
soldiers at the rate of 80 days year, approx
mating the leave provision for Federal en-
ployes. The Army also had plan to return
soldiers in combat areas overseas after 18
months for furlough. I need not say how
much we looked forward to the furlough-it
cans day in and day out; 1t meant fresh, cold
milk instead Of hot, chlorinated water; it meant
a thousand different little things We wanted
to use our leave time; not get paid for it.
But the Army plan begged down. The supply
lines were 50 long they couldn't return all Of
us after 1s months So 1S months turned into
30 months, or 36 months, or 40 months in indi-
vidual cases. We never got that furlough.
Congress has given us bonds for our unused
leave time. Call it bonus legislation"-call 1t a
"hand out" if you like, but only person with
the philosophy of Micawber can say we are
not entitled to it. L. w. BROWN.
Spencerville, Md.
Editors Note: The Stars editorial did not
discuss the merits Of the terminal leave bond
program, but supported the Treasury's opposi-
ton to redeeming two billions of dollars worth
of the bonds now, instead Of waiting for them
to mature.

Unfortunate Misunderstanding

1t is too bad that misunderstanding by
Representative Buck of New York as to
the attitude of the Civil Service Commits
sion has caused temporary delay in
passage by the House of the bill to give
widowed Gold Star mothers the same civil
service benefits accorded widows of war
heroes. This misunderstanding was nat
ural one, under the circumstances.
When the bill first was before the House
Civil Service Committee the Civil Service
Commission entered routine objection
to it. This objection was in accordance
with its longtime policy of resisting any
exceptions to the strict rules governing
competition for Federal jobs through ex-
animation of applicants. On further con-
sideration, however, the commission last
weekend decided it would be discrimina-
tory to bar widowed mothers of men killed
or totally disabled in action from prefer
entail treatment already granted widows
or wives of such veterans. The notification
to the committee of this reversal of stand
apparently arrived too late to apprise all
members of Congress of the action.
The committee already has reported the
measure unanimously to the House. The
measure is so meritorious on its face that
Sonably object to it, now that the Civil
Service Commission has withdrawn its
opposition. 1t is to be hoped that when the
measure next comes before the House, it
will pass without further difficulty, and
that the Senate will add its approval
promptly.

Compromise in Morocco?

In the vexatious problem of French
North Africa, Morocco plays potentially
dominant role. This extensive country, the
Ear West" of the Moslem world, fronting
on both the Mediterranean and the Allan
tic, is historically the most important and
the most Self-conscious portion of the
immense band of territory lying between
the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara
Desert. The Sultans of Morocco, claim
ing descent from the Prophet Mohammed,
enjoy spiritual prestige as we'll as political
authority.
Nevertheless, the empire of Morocco had
SO far fallen from its once high estate that,
by the beginning Of the present century it
was the object of rival Western imperial
1smS. France won out in the contest by a
deal with Britain, both combined to freeze
out German claims, and by 1912, Morocco
became a French protectorate To this
there were two exceptions: A relatively
small zone along the Mediterranean which
was assigned to Spain and the strategically
important district of Tangier, opposite
Gibralter, which was made into neutral
lied enclave. Theoretically, the sover-
eighty of the Sultan was preserved over
the entire country but his power had been
reduced to a shadow.
Such was the situation down to the
close of the late war, when the weakened
power of France, combined with the stir
ring of all the Arab lands, produced a
ferment in Morocco as in other parts of
North Africa. Some months ago, the Sultan
of Morocco paid a visit to Tangier and
there made a speech indorsing the pro-
gram of the Arab League for the recovery
of virtual independence of all Arab lands
from Western control Thereafter, he re-
asserted his theoretical authority by refus-
ing to sign the DEGREES drafted by the
French Resident General, thereby holding
up the administration of the protectorate.
In conjunction with the current unrest
In Algeria and Tunis, this produced a
highly ticklish situation. To handle 1t,
the French government sent to Morocco
one of its ablest military men, General
Alphonse Juin with special mission to
re-establish cooperation with the Sultan
by convincing him that an understanding
with France was in his own best interest.
Despite an originally cool reception, 1t
appears evident that General JUN has been
at least initially successful in his mission,
because the Sultan has agreed to sign
series of DEGREES providing for increased
Moorish participation in the administra-
