D. c. Auto Tags
May Be Aluminium
| Or Stainless Steel

The Department of Vehicles and
Traffic is considering replacing the
steel automobile tags on District
cars with tags of either aluminium
or stainless steel, according to
George E. Keneipp, director of the
department.
He has conferred with representa-
tives of both the steel industry and
the Aluminium Corp. of America
during the past week, but has not
arrived at decision.
He also is considering following
the example set by Connecticut this
year and using reflectorized tags in
the District.
If Mr.. Keneipp decides to use
either stainless steel or aluminium
tags the change will not be made
for several years because of the
shortage of steel. The District this
year will use the same tags now on
automobiles and issue a white clip
with black numerals that can be
attached to the present tags.
Mr.. Keneipp also expressed con-
Germ over the tags being issued this
year in Virginia and Maryland be-
cause they are the same color and it
will be difficult to distinguish be-
tween them in traffic. The cars
from these two States make up
about Sc per cent of the traffic in
the District, he says, with 13 per
cent from other States. District
tags using the streets of Washington
only comprise about 81 per cent Of
the traffic.

Gales School Is Sought
By Health Department

The Health Department has asked
the Commissioners for the use OF
the Gales School, First and G streets
NV. as a maternal and child well
fare clinic, eye clinic and pharmacy.
The clinic is now operated at Is
d street NV. at a monthly rental of
$3.50, but the Acacia Insurance Co.,
the owners, notified the health au-
thorities that they had other uses
for the building and requested that
they move not later than June 30.
The Health Department notified the
Commissioners that the clinic had
the only health services of their re-
spective types in the central area
and wanted to remain in that
vicinity.
The Gales School buildings now
being used by the United Service
Organization, is to be vacated soon.
The Health. Department asked for
possession not later than April l,
to permit renovations.
Health Officer George c. Rutland
wrote the Commissioners:
"In spite of any necessary altera-
tion costs, use of the Gales School
for housing the affected services
will ultimately result in financial
saving to the District of Columbia,
since the annual rental cost for Is
D street NV. in the amount of
$1,000 will be eliminated. Further,
Gales School will, in all probability,
enable this department to provide
housing for other clinical services,
such as otology and child guidance,
for which funds have been provided
but for which we at present have no
suitable housing"

Bridges Says Students
Can Keep Capitol Jobs
Until Term Ends

Students now employed at the
Capitol, but slated for dismissal
under the new Republican regime,
will not be released before the end
of the current school year, Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire said last night.
As chairman of the Republican
Patronage Committee, Senator
Bridges also answered Democratic
criticism with the assertion that
some veterans included among $50
employees scheduled for dismissal
would be retained temporarily.
Mr.. Bridges said he had advised
the Democratic opposition that the
Jobs of all students, including vet
Grams, would be safe for this school
term.
Patronage talk on Capitol Hill
also named James P. Beckett, re-
tiring Metropolitan Police inspector,
as the possible successor to ailing
Ray Brown as captain of Capitol
Police. Another possibility is Joseph
Piggott, So, former Capitol and
White House policeman and a vet
eran of the Spanish h-American War
and World War I.
The question of veterans and
students was brought up in the
Senate by Senator Mcfarland, DEM
ocrat, of Arizona. He insisted vet
Grams were entitled to ayear's en-
ployment without fear of dismissal,
but admitted the Republican major
ity had its right to patronage.
Senator Bridges answered the
criticism in a conference with Sena-
tor Barkley, Democrat, of Kentucky,
and Lester Bifde, former Secretary
of the Senate.
Senator Bridges said the Republi-
cans had "done little better" in the
patronage turnover than the Demo-
Gratis when they took over in 1888
The COP has allotted a "propor-
tionate share of the jobs" to Demo-
Gratis, he asserted.
Wherever possible, the patronage
committee has urged that replace

Rhode Island Senator
Backs District Vote,
u. ). Share Formula

Senator McGrath, Democrat, of
Rhode Island, a freshman member
of the Senate District Committee
with experience in both Federal and
State administration, came out last
night for District suffrage and adop-
ton of a formula fixing the size of
the Federal payment
The United States, he said, should
meet share of the costs of the
Capital which would compensate
generally for the loss of District
tax revenues resulting from the eX-
tensive tax-free Federal land hold
ing here.
Senator McGrath, former Rhode
Island Governor, who until recently
served here as Solicitor General
said his views on the Federal pay
ment were substantially the same
as those embodied in the O'Maho-
ney-Overton fiscal formula.
This measure, offered late last
year and expected to be revived
soon in this Congress-, calls for a
Federal payment adjusted annually
in general keeping with the ratio
of Federal land holdings in the Dis
trict and related also to the size Of
District revenues. For this year,
if adopted, it would have called for
a payment of 10 per cent of the
budget, instead of the existing lump
sum amounting to about 10 per cent.
Senator McGrath did not finally
commit himself as to the exact terms
of the legislation but voiced clear
support on suffrage. He said he
favored national representation for
the District and some form of NUM-

Senate Group Decides
TO Resume Probe Of
All Federal Cafeterias
By HoroId B. ROGERS

A Senate Civil Service subcom-
mittee tomorrow will resume its
preliminary investigation int to
operation of all cafeterias in
Government buildings, including
Government Services, Inc.
Already the committee staff has
made some early exploration of the
status of Government Services, Inc.
it was learned. But officials en-
phasized that the inquiry had
nothing to do with the current
labor difficulties of GSI. The in
quiry was planned before the be-
ginning of the current strike or
lockout, as it has been called vari-
ously.
Decision to have its investigators
continue with their work was
reached yesterday at meeting OF
the subcommittee. 1t consists OF
Senator Baldwin, Republican, OF
Connecticut, chairman; Senator
Flanders, Republican of Vermont,
and Senator Johnston, Democrat OF
South Carolina.
Staff Makes Reports.
The committee heard reports
from it's staff at a meeting Thurs
day with Government and GSI
officials. Staff members saw Maj.
Gen. U. S. Grant III, chairman OF
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, A. E. DEM
array, associate director of the Ma
tional Park Service, who is presi-
dent of GSI, and counsel for GSI
A spokesman for the subcommit-
tee said that further investigation
will be necessary before there are
sufficient findings to justify public
hearings.
The subcommittee Is going for
ward in its preliminary work under
authority ola resolution by Chair
man LANCER of the Senate Civil
Service Committee which was
adopted by the committee Friday
Under rules of the new Congress
sional reorganization act the COM
mittee is empowered to launch such
an investigation prior to Senate ap-
proval of the resolution, If 1t has
specific jurisdiction.
The scope of the investigation will
extend beyond the inquiry into GSI
which operates more than so cafe
terias. Investigators will have 9
look at the operation of other cafe
terias and eating places operated by
other agencies under Government
roofs. Among them are big cafe.
terra in the Pentagon, and one In
the Agriculture Department, both
operated by the National Food Corp
Various Questions Raised.
The resolution directs the COM
mittee to make an investigation tt
determine whether the present
methods Of operation are "in the
best interests Of the Government
and its employees, or whether such
interests would be better served by
direct Government operation Of
such cafeterias."
Among the questions being
raised, it was learned as investiga-
tors look deeper into GSI, are,
Finances, distribution of food, the
propriety Of its contract with the
Government. and whether such 9
contract is basically legal. If the
nonprofit GSI makes a profit what

Property Tax in D. {.
Nets Enough Funds
To Be Retained

The District Government has nc
intention of dropping the tax on
personal property in private resi-
dences, Tax Assessor Edward A. DENT
declared yesterday.
His statement was IN answer 70
question on whether the District
might follow the lead of Montgom-
ery County, Md, which abandoned
the tax last Tuesday.
"One hundred per cent no, was
Mr.. Dents reply. He added that
his departments took in $3.472, ,00O
in 1946 from the personal property
lew and another $1.040,000 from
automobile licenses. He estimated
the overhead cost of obtaining this
revenue at less than $4,000.
County officials announcing the
abandonment of the tax contended
the levy was uneconomieal. They
said some homeowners valued their
items too low and that neighbors
would place different values on the
same article. On the basis OF re-
ported values, they said, the tax
would only net about $45,000. y
Mr.. Dent admitted difficulties in
obtaining accurate return from some
owners. The city has means OF
checking up, he added, however,
and is now conducting survey that
is due to yield many additional tax
payers.
One of the means of checking the
value of the property reported here,
Mr.. Dent said, is the requirement
that the taxpayer shall list the
amount of insurance he carries on
it. Another is comparison OF the
value of personal property reported
with the assessed value of the home
in which the items are located.
IF you find $500 Of personal
property reported from a SIS ,00O
house" he said, I'VE know some
thing is wrong"
In such cases, the assessor said,
his Office seeks permission OF the
taxpayer to assess the property by
| inspection. If this is denied, mis-
Office mails the taxpayer bill based
on the value of his home.
Then he either pays up or comes
down here to appeal it,. MIR. Dent
explained.
